Studio Diner is open late-night (round-the-clock from Thursday through Sunday and until midnight during the rest of the week) and set on a working studio lot in the Kearny Mesa business district. The menu features a wide array of great selections, made from only the freshest and highest quality ingredients. Try the turkey Reuben sandwich, T-bone steak and eggs, patty melt or other hearty fare but be sure to save room for Yo Mama's apple pie or decadent carrot cake. It's a throwback to the 40s and looks like a cool little roadside stop with its chrome and neon exterior.

- Homestyle: "It's comfort food but you can make substitutions like lettuce for a bun instead of bread, for instance."
- Late Night: "It's comfort food with a slightly upscale vibe. They'll swap a bun for lettuce, for instance."
- Best for Homestyle Because: Set on a working studio lot, this diner wins for coolest atmosphere.
- Best for Late Night Because: Studio Diner is open 24 hours a day Thursday - Sunday and until midnight during the rest of the week.
