McDonnell’s Drive-in restaurant on the northeast corner of Robertson and Wilshire Boulevards, Los Angeles, circa 1930s

McDonnell’s Drive-in restaurant on the northeast corner of Robertson and Wilshire Boulevards, Los Angeles, circa 1930sIn the 1930s, McDonnell’s had over 15 restaurants across Los Angeles, some of them dine-in and some of the drive-in. This one was on the northeast corner of Robertson and Wilshire Boulevards, and by the looks of it, was open breakfast, lunch, and dinner. That chicken dinner for 40 cents sounds like a good deal, but can someone tell me what a “Club Breakfast” consisted of?

This is a list of McDonnell’s restaurants at what I assume was their peak:
