Brite Spot

If you are going on a date come to this place, it has great lighting and you will look pretty. The food was amazing, I liked the patty melt. The music was also great and had some bangers. Michael, one of the employees was a joy to chat with and he seems like an amazing person all around and made our experience even better.

Located just over the bridge in echo park is this vintage themed diner called Brite Spot. As you walk in, you get a total retro vibe of how diners used to be with the bright neon sign out front, the light blue leather upholstery, the wood paneling on the inside, the pie cabinet right at the bar, and the extremely interesting light fixtures hanging from the roof. I ordered the Breakfast Anytime Burger and it did not disappoint. This burger comes with a beef patty, accompanied with hash browns, roasted peppers, and a sunny side egg. Hiding beneath all of this is a delicious sriracha aioli and all packed in between a brioche bun. The presentation of the food and the ambiance of this diner will definitely get you feeling a type of way.

I like this place a lot, but it isn't without it's faults. Location is great, and the food is good but the eggs they just couldn't get right. Smacked on a street corner in Silver Lake surrounded by a lot of other great places, making this a perfect location. The restaurant is small and not too busy through the week when I went but guaranteed to fill up during busy brunch trips on the weekends. The food is an array of choices from vegan and vegetarian to somewhat vague renditions of southern faire. Unfortunately being from the south is a curse. The Southern Decadence came with a hard biscuit and plain gravy but the fried chicken breast had all the flavor. There was the Fried Green Tomato Benedict that, while good in theory, just didn't come through. Egg was over cooked and not runny, greens weren't what we expected and the biscuit was hard. On a different occasion I had the corned beef hash where again I was slightly disappointed. The hash was basically just sliced corn beef and home fries but it tasted SO good. Flavor won, but again the over medium eggs was cooked harder than hard. Possibly stick with sunnyside and see how it turns out? All in all I enjoyed it but it didn't knock my socks off. I'm sure I'll be back though.

Easy place to walk to if you live in the area. There is only a few parking spots so don't rely on parking in the lot. There is plenty of meters around the restaurant, and the meters are pretty cheap. There is plenty to choose from and the kids items are huge. We have two, so they get one menu item each and there is plenty of leftovers for the rest of the day. I recommend the vegetarian burger but with the vegan bun and no vegan mayo. It is one of the best impossible burgers that I have eaten. They cook it well and it tastes great with the grilled onions and grilled tomatoes. The french fries are delicious.
