Food in Canyon Country

Korean barbecue over charcoal on the west end of Soledad Canyon, open noon to 10pm every single day with no reservations taken. The all-you-can-eat needs two adults, so a solo diner orders off the à la carte side, which the operator states plainly rather than burying. It is the only place on this stretch where the meal itself takes an hour and a half, so it belongs before a show and not after.

Daily, noon to 10pm. Last all-you-can-eat seating 9:15pm, last call 9:40pm

A diner on the west end of Soledad Canyon known for omelets sized past the point of reason, with a set of house traditions built around finishing one. It is loud, it is full of families on a weekend, and it closes at 2pm every day, which makes it a morning stop and nothing else. The portions are the joke and the staff are in on it.

Daily, 7am to 2pm

A burger counter on Soledad Canyon that opens at 6:30 in the morning and does not shut until 11pm, midnight on a Friday and Saturday. Burgers, pastrami, breakfast served all day, a gyro on the board. It is the one place near the club that is reliably open both before an afternoon show and after a late one, and the 1,700-odd ratings say the neighborhood treats it as the default.

Sun to Thu, 6:30am to 11pm. Fri and Sat, 6:30am to midnight

A breakfast and lunch counter two doors from the comedy club's host restaurant, run by brothers who state their own rule on the site: no shortcuts, no frozen substitutes. Chilaquiles, machaca, omelettes, tortas, all cooked to order. They opened a second location in Winnetka recently, which is what happens when a counter this small gets a line. It shuts mid-afternoon, so it is a before stop for a matinee and an early dinner is not on the table.

Mon to Fri, 8am to 2pm. Sat and Sun, 8am to 3pm

A small antojitos kitchen on the same block as the comedy club, built around birria: tacos, quesabirria, consommé, plus burritos and bowls. It takes online reservations and does catering, which for a place this size means the birria is the draw and they know it. Open to 10pm on a weeknight and 11pm Friday and Saturday, which is after the club's set lets out.

Closed Mon. Tue to Thu, 11am to 10pm. Fri, 11am to 11pm. Sat, 10am to 11pm. Sun, 10am to 8pm

A gelato and crepe counter in a strip on Soledad Canyon, with cases of gelato made on site and savory and sweet crepes off a griddle behind them. It is a fifteen-minute stop rather than a meal, and it opens at nine or ten every day, which covers a daytime show cleanly. Watch Tuesday: it shuts at 2:30pm that one day and keeps normal hours the rest of the week.

Mon, 10am to 7pm. Tue, 10am to 2:30pm. Wed to Fri, 10am to 7pm. Sat, 9am to 6pm. Sun, 9am to 5pm
