Old Place

Amazing place for food and drinks! When ordering, keep in mind that the portions tend to be really big! Enjoy your food at one of the outside tables and make sure to get some wine from the main building as well!

Old Place also seems to be a gathering spot for car enthusiasts - you will surely find some amazingly preserved classic cars drive by and park inside.

This is an amazing place to relax with friends over some good food and some drinks after a day of hiking and exploring the Santa Monica mountains. In its neighborhood you will also find several wineries!

The Old Place Steak House is a true gem, consistently delivering delicious steaks that keep me coming back for more. Nestled in a picturesque setting, the restaurant's charm is enhanced by the presence of majestic peacocks that roam the grounds, adding a touch of natural beauty to the dining experience. The tender, flavorful steaks are cooked to perfection, satisfying every carnivore's palate. This enchanting combination of scrumptious cuisine and the serene ambiance with peacocks makes it my all-time favorite dining spot. If you're looking for a memorable steakhouse experience, the Old Place is an absolute must-visit.

I love everything about this place. The vibes are awesome, food portions are huge and the dishes are tasty. You can also see tons of cool cars and motorcycles that pull up here.

Our favorites are the steak burrito, BLT and cinnamon buns. Don’t ever forget a side of their famous bacon. Add a Manmosa if you’re not the one driving.

I’d recommend getting here before 11am on a weekend for brunch to avoid the line. This is a must go out of your way anytime you’re in the LA area.

I went to the Old Place for the first time with three friends at the beginning of June…and then immediately took my family a week later, it was that good. The Old Place has a short menu and does everything on it really, *really* well.
I ordered the steak and eggs with potato wedges, and had leftovers for *two* more meals. The portion sizes are immense.
After you eat (or while you’re waiting for your food and someone saves your table for you 😊), take twenty minutes and explore the grounds! There’s an excellent on-site shop with a little bit of everything local, peacocks are waiting to be found, and there are so many art installations scattered throughout the property!
If possible, get there between 10:00-11:30 am before the parking lot fills up.

As a resident of LA for the past decade, I can confidently say that this restaurant has become my top favorite. The staff are welcoming and the food is outstanding. I highly recommend it, regardless of how long you may have to wait for a table. It is a true iconic spot and well worth a visit to share with friends and family. Bonus, the phone signal is poor inside, perfect to disconnect and enjoy the moment. It's truly the best of the best, I give it a 5-star rating.

Very unique restaurant. Highly recommended.
- Huge outside area.
- lots of old and traditional buildings and stuff
- fantastic coffee shop back of the old truck
- Cornell store with lots of traditional hand made stuff
-they serve smoky steak and fries

First of all, such a beautiful drive to get to this place. The service was wonderful and the gentleman who greets you is so friendly. As for the food.... that ribeye is so delicious. The cook was perfect and it seemed like it just melted in my mouth. Came with a baked potato that was well seasoned and fully loaded. Will be back. Impossible to stay away from that steak. Beautiful scenery outside too.

A feeling of the old west. Stop by as you drive around the Santa Monica Mountains. Great spot to stop at for brunch, lunch or dinner which is outdoor seating.

At the weekend you can get served at their small saloon style indoor restaurant - seating at the bar requires no reservations. If you’d like a table they have 2 seating times 5pm and 7pm and you need to make reservations.

Next to them is a small coffee shop, and a wine tasting shop which also sells gifts. Enjoy some good wine and food and you can also enjoy people watching seeing cool sports cars here as people love to drive the mountain roads.

I’m in awe. So glad we found this on a late Saturday evening. Felt like a dream.
Amazing fresh food. We were there on a business trip from Toronto and the owner really made us feel at home. We got to sit at the bar and interact with the locals. This was the highlight of our trip. Outside is serene and peaceful, between mountains.

Make a reservation unless you don’t mind sitting at the bar. The portions are generous and the wine list extensive.

Came here for a late Sunday breakfast after exploring Paramount Ranch. We each got a burrito (mine was mushroom, my husband has steak), plus an order of cinnamon rolls, an iced tea, hot tea, and coffee. The portions were large and the food quality was great. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Would recommend!

Steak and eggs was fantastic. Steak was smoky and had a more country, spicier seasoning. Eggs were fresh and cooked to sunny side up perfection. They paired well with the hardy portions of potatoes. Atmosphere was fantastic.

Side salad was a large takeout size. Mostly the salad lettuce green medley with a bit of cherry tomatoes and cucumber. The honey mustardy dressing was tasty tho.

Parking was fine and could be found in the back.

Great food and atmosphere, ordered at the window and found a little nook to sit at outside. The steak sandwich was awesome!

We have visited The Old Place for both inside and outside menus. The food was excellent for both services. However, I must probably give more stars if I could for the outside service. Yes, you have to usually wait in line to place your order. However, the vibe is awesome to be able to eat outside. They have numerous areas spread out across their property and you can easily find an area to eat.
Inside, we tried the Cheese & Cured Meat Board, the Ribeye, and the Chicken Pot Pie. There wasn't any food left on anyone's plate! Outside, we had the Old Place Burrito and the Steak Sandwich and they were both excellent. There's a little separate cafe where you can buy drinks, lattes, espresso, coffee, etc. I also tried the Manmosa ("man"-sized mimosa) and that was great as well!
Finally, there are numerous wild peacocks on the property. Take a stroll while you're waiting for your food or to walk off the meal you just ate.
We definitely recommend this place!

First timer for my birthday. Excellent experience ! Food flavor was outstanding. The tables placed through-out the property make for many intimate settings to choose from. Perfect for a date night or special occasion. Will definetly go back

Very unique restaurant! Love the food and the ambiance.

I had an incredible experience at this restaurant! The selection of beers was outstanding, offering a diverse range of flavors to suit every palate. The food was delicious, with a menu that impressed both carnivores and vegetarians alike. The atmosphere was cozy yet vibrant, making it a perfect spot for a casual get-together or a night out with friends. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring our dining experience was nothing short of amazing. I can't wait to return and explore more of their beer and food offerings! Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.

Cool spot. Good food with good portions. They could be a little more lax with their seating though. The barmaid said we couldn't sit at a table when EVERY table was open. The have a weird reservation process that has people's names tagged on the table its reserved for. We walked in at 4:25 and the tables were marked as a 6:30 reservation. Seriously! We can't sit at a table. Just because it's reserved 2.5 hours from now! Besides that it was a very nice place that felt like an old western saloon.

Food was EXCELLENT. They really know how to do smoke flavoring. The outdoor dining is pretty cool. Very unique grounds to walk around. Several hiking trails nearby. "Old Place" is not a creative name but very appropriate. Old and quirky antique stuff just laying around.

First time at Old Place but it wont br my last! Incredible steaks and even better service! Highly recommend the bone in filet, bacon, and bread!
