Doomie's Home Cookin'

Alejandra Rutledge

I come and order from here… A LOT. This is the best vegan food i’ve ever been lucky enough to taste in my life. You get GREAT portions for the price and the food is unbelievable. All my non-vegan friends have been turned onto Doomies and they literally request it everytime we are thinking of where to go eat. I’ve tried a variety of things here and never not LOVED it. Seriously best vegan food in LA… probably in the whole world. My family also requests it everytime they visit LA ❤️

I ordered Doomies for delivery today and I loved my meal. I ordered the Po Boy and it was DELICIOUS. The sauce was perfect. It was huge and for only $18 came with fries. The fries were seasoned perfectly. Also ordered a fried chicken leg because I had to try it. The flavor and texture was great! For reference, I am a vegetarian! We will def be eating here again

Definitely a LA style place. Simple but a nice variety of comfort food items. Comic bookish theme tables. Everything was good. Chik'n nice flavor and textures. Desserts nice flavor. Milkshakes bringing everyone to the yard.

Right next door to Doomies NextMexis this gem. Perfect for the late night munchies or if you are in need of some comfort food. I love the serving sizes and being able to customize your order to how you like it. I like They have a big variety of vegan cakes to choose from, as well as being able to order a cake for a celebration or whatever. The staff are friendly, and the vibe is chill. On the weekends, they are open 24 hours, which is perfect if you need some food to soak things up or eat something down. I love the breakfast menu on the weekends, and the regular menu during the week is fire, too. Everything I have had there has been delicious. Most recently, I got the Mighty Cristo, and it was legit fire. A perfect blend of sweet and savory. 👌 I think the only thing that may be able to take it to the next level is to add a chicken patty or even a spicy chicken patty. 👌👌

Doomie’s is a vegan mainstay of Los Angeles, which is why it has survived for so long, and throughout even the pandemic veganpocalypse of plant-based restaurants we’ve seen the last couple of years. It knows what it is and doesn’t try to be anything but that, and it does what it does well. The sign right in the window says it: GLUTTONY. You can go to an expensive health vegan place if you want, Veggie Grill is nearby, but if you’re channeling a nostalgic craving for the worst possible vegan food for you, this is the place to go. As a vegan, I feel like this is the only vegan food that is capable of causing me a heart attack, and I say that lovingly. It’s certainly a selling point to all the omnivores out there who stumble in after leaving a club, and as a lonely people-watcher I can say that the large consensus is that the food here is comparable if not identical to their carcass garbage they usually eat. Their gravy and chili are among the best flavored in the city. I love their pulled pork, especially because (as they boast) it isn’t the same ol’ jackfruit recipe everywhere else uses. They prepare their Impossible patties just right, and you can tell they actually season them. The chicken is breaded, seasons, and fried to perfection and always a thick slab on the sandwiches. They offer a spicy cheese option and it’s actually spicy. Their French toast and pancakes are exactly what you’re looking for if you’re vegan and long for that specific diner style of breakfast. The baked goods here are flawless and the cakes in huge slices. The menu is solid, and I find myself alternative between a handful of favorites every other month. The prices may seem a little high at first glance, until you get your meal: the portions are beyond generous whether entree or appetizer, and everything comes with a side (something nearly unheard of when eating out in LA—most vegan places would charge $16-18 for the burger by itself). Everything they do seems to summon the hedonistic fat kid in us all, from quantity to quality. I think it’s also notable that, in a community of vegan spots who oftentimes rely solely on frozen name-brand products like Gardein, this place uses its own scratch recipes pretty often, such as their sauces, cheeses, bacon, chili, gravy, and pulled pork, and I think wrapping the vegan drumsticks in tofu skin before breading and frying it was a brilliant way of giving it that horrific skin some psychos miss from their meat-eating days at KFC. I’ve also only ever received kind, enthusiastic, human treatment from what seems to be a small team of regular faces. Sure, maybe not all of them are painting on some fake smile, or maybe they’re sometimes just very caught up in managing several tasks at once, but that only fits the aesthetic and authenticity of Doomie’s. I’m here at least once a week and there has never been a time when I felt mistreated or disregarded, and they’ve always made the few minor errors right without hesitation. I appreciate the low-effort, to-the-point decor that has become emblematic of their establishment, honestly. Late at night when I want to loiter comfortably for a little while and eat something greasy and absurdly decadent, I enjoy doing it somewhere that lacks pretense; where I feel like I belong even at my most disgusting and unpresentable. They recently gave the place a modest upgrade, which just meant a new coat of sky blue against the black, a neon light Doomie’s guy, and finally some cushions on the booth seats, but I think they know that their food is what matters most. Honestly, everything about the place is just quintessentially punk. They’re open 24 hours from Friday to Monday, which is awesome, with incredible breakfasts on early mornings. The parking around it is unofficially free (I’ve slept in my car outside of it many times and have never incurred a ticket or anything). Lotsa outdoor seating. Unlimited refills on soda. Bathroom is easy to get into with a memorable code. Anyway, I love this place, and am so grateful that it’s still here after all these years.
