50 Best American Restaurants near La Canada Flintridge

“My wife, Sara, and I dined at The Proper last night. It was our first time there. I had very recently become aware of it on Yelp. We were treated very well by our server, Connor, and by another man, whose name we do not know. He probably was an assistant manager. We asked him about the history and the décor of the restaurant. He offered to have the owner stop by our table to answer questions he was more in a position to address. The owner, Rick, did come by and we had nice chat. Rick and his staff are terrific folks. And we really enjoyed the food. Sara had the chicken piccata and I had the jambalaya pasta. We enjoyed a bottle of Sonoma Cutrer chardonnay and the warm butter toffee cake for dessert. It was an all-around terrific evening. Sara wants to try the miso salmon next time and I will probably order the blackened shrimp tacos. Another thing that’s a plus is that we don’t eat red meat or pork - we’re fish and fowl only – and there are many items on The Proper’s menu that we can eat. And we may elect to dine in the bar on our next visit, which is really cool and charming.“

“A good reliable place to eat. It's like a coffee shop but they serve breakfast, lunch, dinner and have a bar too. Never have I had a bad experience. Although, their actual hours are different than what is internet posted.Parking: There are other businesses that share parking but had never not found parking.“

“They've recently remodeled here, and it is beautiful.Nice warm colors and lots of windows to let in light. The menu is very large with plenty of variety. Can be a bit on the pricey end, but everything I have tried has been well executed, and the portions are huge, so options for sharing or taking food home for later. However, there are other options in the area with better price points and similar quality. There is enough parking most times I've been. The lot is fairly easy to get in and out of. The staff has normally been efficient, and service is usually quick. If anybody else serves a popeye burger LMK That's good stuff.“

“After years away due to distance, I went with 3 friends to celebrate my birthday. Everything was amazing, even the other patrons! We split a bottle of wine and had short ribs, prime rib, salad and meatloaf as well as nachos and grilled veggie apps. Not a single disappointment! We will certainly return! Service was top notch!Dietary restrictions: GF options, including dishes, like meatloaf, that usually have hidden gluten.“

“Delicious dining at it's best. Cornbread out of this world and best clams I've ever had!“

“If I could give the service a 10000/5 I would. The entire staff was AMAZING. Attentive, thoughtful and all around kind guys. The chicken tenders and the comeback sauce were so flippen delicious! If you are nearby, this is a MUST STOP destination.“

“We had a fabulous night. Food was amazing and service is top notch!“

“This jungle sanctuary is worth every dime. The decor is amazing, the service is excellent and the food is exquisite. Everything at Meteora is memorable; whether it's the à la carte menu or the set menu. The sweet pea hors d'oeuvre or the risotto entrée or the rib eye (the wagyu is advised) or the chocolate ganache with sorbet for dessert. Every dish leaves an unforgettable taste in your mouth. We were lucky to be served by Gina but then, everyone who brings a dish is super helpful. Thanks Meteora for this unforgettable culinary experience.“

“One of those special restaurants where everything goes right -- the food is gorgeously prepared and delicious, the wait staff is absolutely, incredibly top notch, the atmosphere is wonderful. Cocktails are excellent. Great for a special night, but then every night here is special. Don't miss!“

“We ordered the hippo bread, cauliflower, ravioli with clams and the hangar steak. All so delicious! The hippo bread is soft and sweet with that butter. The cauliflower is shareable and so good! The ravioli was fine and the hangar steak was slightly sweet and tender. Our waiter, Alejandro, was so attentive and answered all of our questions. He was fabulous! The kitchen is open so you can look and see which is always fun! Love the music, too! We walked past the restaurant but then I remembered it was by the pizza place so we circled back and found it. Can't wait to return!“

“Fantastic and attentive staff. Food is delicious and an upgrade from old 101. I go often and am always looked after. Go once and you will go again. Unfortunately it's so good sometimes it can be a bit crowded. Not a problem, worth a wait and it's usually short. Enjoy“

“Quality food, service and relaxed environment. Totally understated as the staff assist where needed with a minimum of fuss as we enjoyed the experience.“

“Cool vibe in the main street area of Larchmont! Stopped here for a quick drink after shopping in the area. Got a Michelada and Sangria! The Michelada had a nice kick and served with their own beer. The Sangria was good too and not overly sweet. Lots of cute and small boutiques nearby. Definitely would come back, and try some of their food!“

“This is what spontaneous LA dining is about. Just walked by hungry. Super cute. You can be sat with full service or you can order with a number and find a lil spot to eat with a number. Both ways are full menu. Everything was tasty and out quick.“

“Parking was terrible, but the food was tasty!“

“Was nice experience, Relaxing great time me and and my wife for our anniversary. Love the deco and good service. They don't bother you and give you your space to enjoy the time. Salmon was excellent and very tasty. Cara margarita was so good. Great place for date night !“

“I loved the nook niche restaurant tight inside Los Angeles. I sat by the bar and had the uni panna cotta. It was tangy, creamy, and crunchy. It was worth it. I’m coming back.“

“4 of us ate at the new Craft at LA Live but I can't find it here so recommending them on the Pasadena location. This was the second night they had been open last Saturday. Service was outstanding. Judy did a terrific job taking care of us and the head chef and owner cam by to welcome us. Food was outstanding too. Great place.“

“The best French food in LA. Chef is outstanding. Staff incredible. So yourself a favor. Go.“

“If you want good Filipino food from a family owned cozy staple in Filipino town then this is the place to go! Came by here during a visit to LA and it was recommended by some friends who live in the neighborhood and I was not disappointed at all. Here are some takeaways:EnvironmentThis is a small cozy restaurant that has a family style vibe to it. A great welcoming energy, we felt right at home. We stopped around midday during the week so it wasn't a lot of people there. Overall it was relaxing and warm - great for lunch with friends or if you're alone and want to grab a bite to eat.ServiceOur server happened to also be the daughter of the owners. She was great and was happy to share some of the history of the restaurant with me. She was very helpful with telling us about the food and giving us recommendations. Great service!Food and drinksWe had a little bit of everything - and all of it was great! Here's a run down of everything we had:MAMA LEAH'S COCONUT BEEF ADOBOANN'S CORNBREAD BIBINGKASTEAMED WHITE RICENOEL'S SMOKED GOUDA MACSAN PABLO PULLED PORKEverything was delicious. The coconut beef (amazing!) was great with the steamed white rice, the mac and cheese was tasty, the pulled pork had a lot of flavor and the cornbread was warm and sweet, but not too sweet. Again - all the food was great.OverallLovely family owned restaurant. So glad that we stopped by here. If i'm ever in LA again this will definitely be a place I'll visit again. Great food with a great story.“

“good place and highly recommend.“

“Edited for recent visit on 2/7/24:Finally got to try the malai pasta. It did not disappoint in flavor and was fantastic. I think adding some meatballs would further elevate this dish with some protein. Lamb sliders were also super tasty. The pizza was fine but was made better by dipping it in the malai pasta sauce. The staff were gracious and helpful. Significantly improved from my previous visit. Would come back.Malai pasta: 4.5/5Lamb sliders: 4.5Green tikka pizza: 3.5Old review:I’ll admit we didn’t have the pasta. Between the pizza, wings, and something else we had we left feeling pretty underwhelmed. We asked a couple next to us about their wings which were different than ours and their response was a similar “meh”.Indian food and Italian food should be full of flavors, this fusion of flavors seemed to be meant for the palate of someone who had never had any ethnic food. I appreciate the attempt, but I felt it was poorly executed. I might give them a try again as it has been awhile.“

“Magnífico lugar para comer!! Excelente servicio Jessica, Jessenia y todos los que trabajan son grandiosos.“

“Excellent food, service and ambiance“

“Every time we visit LA we have come to the Edmond for years. They recently changed their license and unfortunately we didn’t find out until our friend came with her 18 yr. old daughter and we sat down and she had water and was carded and asked to leave. It is now 21 and over, so no more family meals here. It’s unfortunate, but true. Please Post a sign for those that have been coming for years and don’t check the website.“

“The asparagus fries. Crispy & not greasy. You can appreciate the asparagus flavor. We split the Thai spicy salad. It was spicy, but the Thai basil & the peanut dressing were the stars. It didn't need the chicken. The best was the ribeye melt. The meat was cooked perfectly.The sourdough was crusted with parmesan. With a side of horseradish that was perfectly paired for this sandwich.“

“Our second time in, first time inside...what a fantastic place! Our food and service was stellar! Thomas, our server, was extremely intricate to our heck of a time as was Claudia's surprise visit! We'll be back and we'll be back after that as well!“

“We liked everything from the beginning including the service, atmosphere, food and of couse big thanks to Taylor and other staff who helped us to have a wonderful experience at the best restaurant of LA!!!“

“Little Dom's has become our go-to for a post-hike brunch. Despite the number of options on their menu, I always find myself gravitating towards my two favorite items -- 1. Eggs Fungi - The oyster and shitake mushrooms are cooked to perfection with just the amount of bite without being too mushy. With two poached eggs and a creamy hollandaise over toasted sour dough, this is definitely a favorite amongst our group. If you're feeling like you need a bit more protein after your hike, go for the Hanger Steak & Eggs which is pretty much the same dish but with the mushrooms replaced by steak! 2. Ricotta Cheese & Fresh Blueberry Pancakes -- Just get it...you'll thank me later. Super fluffy and light pancakes. In our last trip here, everyone at the table got an order of pancakes for themselves. Oh yeah, they have outdoor seating so your pup is invited too! Just don't forget to get him a side of bacon ;)“

“The Cat & Fiddle is a local pub that has spent many years in the bustling town of Hollywood. It has been passed down from one family member to the next and has retained a grand reputation as a great establishment in a small nook of Los Angeles that serves fine British fare.The service is exquisite. The staff is friendly and offers wonderful suggestions. The space is what you expect from a great pub. Loud, raucous, fun-loving, and lively.The food is delicious. Served in a true British fashion. Flavorful and delicious. It's definitely worth the trip to come over and grab a pint and some chips with malt vinegar.“

“Great fresh food, amazing service!!!“

“I just hurt myself trying to finish the GF Detroit style... damn good pizza. I'm a "sauce man" and I would put there red sauce over pasta and bon appetit it; no questions asked. Great mozzarella (with that authentic salty milkiness) and quality toppings. If you're gluten free like me, this is the best pizza in LA hands down. Prior to my GF life, pizza was my favorite food group and I've eaten it all over. You can always tell a good pie by the components. There is a quality and style that goes into the pizza here. Canned sauce is disgusting and evident during the first bite at other shops. Once again, the sauce is great here. Park near Astro and walk over as that lot is not fun to try and get into or out of. I will be back“

“This spot in Pasadena is a MUST!!! The restaurant was clean, food was served super fast and was delicious, the cashier and the server provided AMAZING customer service very kind and friendly which made us feel very WELCOMED! I had not visited a restaurant with all of these important details in YEARS!!!! One small detail that I wish they had is a house coffee to perfect their business, I think coffee is essential in these kind of restaurants other than that 1000 out of 10!!!“

“This place has been my breakfast spot for a while. I am not a big waffle fan but I tried the big one breakfast option with the waffle and after that I've been hooked on their waffles . So delicious ?.The staff is always welcoming and nice. There's always a long wait but it's totally worth the wait for me.Parking: You can park in the parking structure right off Union. Russell's offers validation for this parking area only.“

“took a date there on a weeknight they let me get to my table early to put flowers on the table for m date. the food was great and the drinks were perfect would recommend this place“

“Meet here with one of my friends while I was in LA. I did a search on Yelp and here they were. Food was so amazing!! I have the tacos and I mean yummmm and it was happy hour! Now the service was amazing. The drink I recommend everyone trying is called MR. PINK-- this drink is one of the best drinks I have ever had at a restaurant so had three . The ambience was beautiful so many different areas and rooms to sit! Very spacious! I would definitely come back here! If you are in LA and drive or visit Los Feliz please drop by!“

“We love Charlie & Friends! Delicious food, friendly people, and a lovely atmosphere. The patio is wonderful. Dogs are welcome and it is child friendly. We love the secluded location and the ample parking. So glad we found it!“

“Delicious! Really interesting and tasty food.“

“Tuve la oportunidad de comer hoy en la ubicación en Burbank. Excelente servicio, comida y un gran ambiente. Manejamos de Menifee, solo para tener la experiencia de un gran platillo. Shoutout a José!! y todos los que nos atendieron. Ps: Menifee, sería una excelente nueva ubicación :)“

“Foxy’s is the best!! My best friend @coreybricker and I recently had brunch there twice within a week. The freshly seasoned omelets and extra crispy hash browns were to die for! What really sets this place apart is it’s customer service! Everyone there is kind, patient, and super friendly! We are looking forward to going back there again soon!!“

“Truly yummy home style New Southern cooking. I had the seasonal ramps and beet salad, the pork chop and the biscuit. Would recommend all. Well seasoned and prepared - nothing over done or precious but still beautifully plated. I enjoyed my first fermented gin drink as well. Was thrilled to not have just deep fried everything but lovely Southern flavors.“

“The food has to be experienced!! It’s high-end in taste and presentation, and the staff are professional but so fun that you feel like you’re with family. They are attentive to detail and will bend over backwards to make sure you have what you need. Service with a smile; this company is pure joy!“

“I've been following the Chef Lemos' progress with development of this restaurant and after the success of Wax Paper I was really excited to try it. My wife and I stopped in for brunch on Sunday. Outdoor patio has a good deal of seating in the front and a lot in the back, but the front has a view of the river, which you can also hear occasionally when an obnoxious and pretentious woman isn't drowning everything else out (that's not a knock on the restaurant, just the hipster attitude of some people). The food and drink options are solid. I got the breakfast burrito which was excellent and my wife had the eggs 'n' curds which she enjoyed. The star of the meal was her brunch cocktail, the Superbloom which came at the suggestion of our server. My wife mentioned she could have enjoyed a pitcher of it, especially in the outstanding weather we had. Caution to driving in, however, the construction of several apartment buildings is a little potentially rough on your tires so be mindful. I look forward to returning for dinner in the future. Keep it up Pete!“

“The food is amazing. I highly recommend this bistro.“

“We went on Saturday night around 9pm, cocktails were outstanding!! Delicious and balanced! Great prices and there were 2 people attending the whole place but it was not too crowded, we ordered fries with steak and the meat was very soft, we'll definitely come back , lots of street parking!“

“Delia's has been our favorite lunch spot for years now, and for good reason! Their chile verde special is absolutely to die for - it's our go-to dish every time. The customer service is top-notch, with the owner and kids being incredibly sweet and welcoming. The food quality and flavor are consistently amazing, and the outdoor seating creates a charming atmosphere that feels like you're enjoying a meal in your grandma's backyard, surrounded by beautiful plants. This hidden gem comes highly recommended - a must-visit for anyone looking for a delightful dining experience!“

“Amazing cocktails in a cozy environment“

“Cool place and so retro“
