Established in 1946, the legendary Smoke House is one of the few L.A. restaurants of the WWII era to survive today. Recently inducted into the San Fernando Business Hall of Fame, this "landmark-in-the-making" is known for its classic red leather booths, crisp white tablecloths, and walls adorned with photos of cinema stars. It proudly continues to be the restaurant where every diner is treated like a star!
