Our Story

Everyone has that one friend’s home that they look forward to visiting. It is warm and inviting, the food is awesome, the conversation is easy, the drinks are plentiful, the laughs are endless and most of all, you feel welcome and among your true friends. It’s a place you truly can’t wait to return to.

Limitless Hospitality Group, founded by restaurant veteran John Kulacki, intends to create that friend’s home every day at Local Kitchen - The American Diner.

Local Kitchen will embrace you with truly warm and honest hospitality in a relaxed yet refined environment that evokes a feeling of home. We believe that we have one of the most committed and talented teams in our industry, that has a genuine care for our guests. We are absolutely nothing without our team. They are the ones who make our restaurant exceptional. They go above and beyond to ensure that the food and drink are of the highest quality and consistently executed every day.

The scratch kitchen delivers over 125 classic items ranging from appetizers, salads, soup, burgers, sandwiches, pastas, tacos, steaks, fish, breakfast favorites and many more all in Local Kitchen style. The kids will always choose Local Kitchen for the large selection of favorites on our Little Locals Menu and ask to come back soon. Just like your favorite host, Local Kitchen will also offer some of the most delicious and interesting desserts to top off a great visit.

We look forward to supporting the Manhattan Beach community and sharing a lifelong dream with all of you. Please introduce yourself when you come to visit, as we love to make everyone feel like a “regular”. We can’t wait to have you in our own Local Kitchen.
