Armon's Restaurant

When it comes to old-school diners in Eagle Rock, Cindy’s might win in the ambiance department, but Armon’s wins on food. This classic diner dates back to 1962 and still looks the part, with brown vinyl stools wrapping a long bar and a handful of booths along the walls. Service is warm and efficient, and the crispy corned beef hash, cheeseburger club, or french toast are all solid bets. But our heart always goes to the handful of homey Thai dishes on the menu, including an outstanding Thai-style fried rice with bacon. Make sure to ask for a jar of their bright, chile-laced house salsa, which you’ll see every table smothering their plates with like it was ketchup.
