Like the mod LA coffee shop Swingers, Rudy’s dishes up style, snarl, and hangover-stanching diner fare. The name is an homage to the Clash, but the decor mines post-punk kitsch: a glowing blue display case of big-hair Barbies and tabletops whose resin-packed depths reveal plastic tchotchkes like Pez dispensers. It’s the perfect vibe for the geeky Pixar workers and tattooed kids with pendulous earlobe plugs digging into burgers or daily specials like meatloaf. Breakfast is served all day, including the mega-toothsome Your Own Private Eyedaho, a plate-spanning chunk of hash browns gilded with Cheddar and fried egg.
