33 Best American Restaurants in Lancaster

“Tried this place for the first time, and I’m so glad I did! I’ve been wanting to check them out, and they did not disappoint. I’ll definitely be coming back—the flavors were amazing, and the portions were generous. The white sauce and spicy sauce were both incredible! I had the chicken bowl, and it was absolutely to die for. The mac salad was delicious, not too heavy, just right. I also tried the chicken tenders—super crispy and made with real chicken, though a bit on the salty side. Overall, a great experience!“

“amazing place for a great dinner or appetizers and a drink.“

“We love Challenger Tap House always great times with family and friends, food, drinks, music and staff.“

“This diner is a solid 4.5 of 5 as far as diners go. Twice I've eaten breakfast foods here and both times the restaurant was spotless and the staff was super friendly. This is a text book diner with all of the typical foods. My eggs were cooked correctly and the regular hash browns were browned on both sides making them steaming hot in the middle. It's the cleanliness and consistent food and service that really makes this place shine, well done!“

Today is my second time to be here. The food is good. All my friends love it.

I do not eat meat. They made my breakfast burrito, took out the meat, and added avocado. It was very good.

Two of my friends had the perfect landing because it comes with coffee (only one comes with coffee).

Hope u will try it. Thanks.

My friends wanted to come again. So I am here. I wish they should have more vegan dish or vegetarian with coffee for me. I hope it will soon because all my friends love to eat here, but I do not want to eat meat. Thanks.

Vegetarian options: Ask the server to help what u need.

“Essex, the newest addition to the Arbor Court Empire. They also own Kensington's campus Apartments on 30th West & Ave. I, next to the veterans home, as well as Arbor Grove. Arbour Court is owned by LA Mental Health Care. These places are great places to live for seniors at 55 and older, that is Arbor Court, Arbor Grove, and the great new Essex Apt's.“

“Paige was an amazing server, she continually checked on our party and made sure we had everything we needed. On top of that, the Steakhouse Bacon Cheeseburger was THA BOMB! Although the burger could have been cooked just a bit longer, but it was delicious and the bacon was flavorful. Thanks, Paige, for your service, it was impeccable! Hope we have the pleasure of having you serve us again!

Parking: PLENTY OF PARKING, parking was the least of our worries and we had a truck with a trailer in tow with us.“

“Great place for a club gathering . I meet with Lancaster Sunrise Rotary Thursday mornings 7am“

“Lately, I've been checking out all the fried chicken spots, and this time, I found one after work. It's open almost every day until 11pm. The staff was truly friendly, the food looked good and tasted awesome, and the prices were, to my opinion, fair. I got the double slider with fries and what seemed to me like a street corn on the cob. The fries were fat and crispy. The chicken in the sliders was awesome. Personally, I always prefer some toastyness on my bun, whether it's a sandwich or a burger. Definitely stop by and have a bite! I almost forgot one of the best things!...they make some awesome homemade lemonades! I tried the strawberry (I wish I had ordered a jug!) and I also tried the raspberry. Great combo for the food! Try it!“

“Good Food,large portions, good prices and fantastic people“

“Zelda’s 750 West is my new favorite spot! Chef Karen is doing her THANG in the kitchen and everyone one on staff is A1. If you are in the AV area looking for an upscale restaurant that allows you to come as you are look no further. At first glance the menu might seem a little basic with just wings and pizza but ba-beeeeeeeeee let me tell you something, we ordered three different types of pizza and each of them were FIRE 🔥. You can taste the freshness in all the ingredients down to the dough. The garlic parmesan wings were fried just right and had a good flavor. The ambience was a vibe for sure from the Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory gates that surrounded the patio entrance to the private room in the back where we celebrated my sisters birthday. If you haven’t done so already go check them out, I promise it will be worth it!“

“Had a great girls dinner…more like first place!“

“Hi bar the taking shots and throwing us into farming slides etc weird ness“

“It is a gas station place so you don't expect much but it is truly a little hidden corner. While I usually dine there for burgers I really love their wet burrito, with golden crunchy tripas and a red salsa, it is absolutely delicious. Staff is friendly and the aguas frescas are refreshing! It is very limited in space however so be warned about seating during peak hours.

Parking: Very few parking spots, no shade, high traffic area due to the gas station.“

“The omelettes are a two meal feast.“

“Food is always fresh and made the. Way you want it serving very fast“

“We came after worship service june 10,2018. We were pleasently surprised how delicious the food was. My husband and I had the Turkey Avocado bacon Club. We also had the Strawberry Lemonade. To die for. Loved the atmosphere and our Lead Server was the best. Very attentive, bubbly and funny.“

“I stopped by this place the other day after seeing some positive reviews. Highly recommend. They make a great vegan sandwich. They have a vegan ham, turkey, cheese, and they use veganase. The toppings are on point and the bread is fantastic. I ordered a large sandwich and I couldn’t finish it. Highly recommend if you’re in the area. #Veganuary“

“Hi all,

Today, I am excited to share my thoughts on an exceptional establishment in Lancaster, CA - Schooners Patio Grille.

I have been a loyal patron of this bar for more than five years, and without a doubt, it has cemented its reputation as the go-to spot for many in the area. Schooners Patio Grille is a popular haunt among firefighters, nurses, construction workers, and sheriffs, making it a diverse and vibrant hangout in Lancaster.

What sets Schooners apart is not just its clientele but also its stellar staff. The team at Schooners, led by the fantastic Jamie - who doubles up as a bartender and waitress, is truly remarkable. Jamie's hospitality and service elevate the experience for patrons, making every visit a memorable one.

If you haven't already, I highly recommend checking out Schooners Patio Grille for an unforgettable experience. Cheers to good times and great memories at Schooners!“

“Great customer service and great food .“

“I love the vibe, full bar, and the food options. The only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is because the food tastes very bland and unseasoned. If they even just did a pinch of salt and pepper it would be better than what they have now. Please stock up your seasoning cabinet and use it, Scramblez!“

“We come to this location for the drinks! My hubby and I go during happy hour and the drinks are great! The service here is great and the staff is very nice. The pink and prickly
Lemon drop is my new fav!

Kid-friendliness: We usually bring out 3 kids but we had some alone time when we came. The kids love it and it is very kid friendly!“

“deliciosa me encanta como lo atirnden auno!! y variedad de bebidas ! y comida 100/00“

“No problems with service, wait times or cleanliness of Tom’s #26. I see lots of 1stars of the service of cash register workers from female reviewers, I think it’s because they are all jealous of how pretty the waitress n register girls are compared to them and their BF’s or husbands were checking them out, lol. STOP HATING on the pretty ladies!!🤦🏻‍♂️“

“I forgot to take a picture. What I ordered was the 6 dollar all you can eat 🥞 pancakes. I was really hungry and thought I could do a second helping! Well, was I in for a surprise 😁 Those 3 pancakes 🥞 were Huge! The pancakes were nice, fluffy 😋 and tasty. Defeated by the Huge, delicious pancakes and hot chocolate. I was ready to leave. Now, this Denny's also accepts AARP. Unfortunately, for me I could not find my AARP card. The waitresses were very helpful helping me to look for my card that Thursday morning. Anyway, when I went home. I found my card fell into the bottom of my 🛍️ bag. Very 👍 nice staff.

Kid-friendliness: They have High Chairs“

“We took a house guest from Pennsylvania here so that he could meet Bella. The food was great, the staff was on top of everything and of course Bella was adorable.
