Seven hour wait for a $17.00 waffle! [View all]

A new diner owned by the creator of Everybody Loves Raymond has become the hottest spot in Los Angeles.

The Larchmont eatery, named Max & Helen's after owner Phil Rosenthal's parents, has been flooded with food bloggers, celebrities and loyal Raymond fans since opening its doors in late October.

When Daily Mail tried to get a table for two last Saturday, we were informed that the waitlist was seven hours long and that they weren't taking reservations.

Together, with head chef Mason Royal, the trio have come up with a menu of 'elevated' diner food that includes a $17 waffle that has already been branded 'one of the best waffles in L.A.'
