50 Best American Restaurants near Anaheim Hills

“First time here. Came on a weekday at 10am and it was packed! I got sat right away and got my coffee (which was delicious!) right away. But then waited about 15 minutes for my server to come back and take my order. But once she did, my breakfast arrived quickly. It was hot, fresh, delicious and packed with flavor!

I’ll definitely be back but as a single diner, would probably sit at the counter for faster service. Yum!“

“chicken sandwich is realy good 👍“

“My daughter and I ate there yesterday for the first time! The chicken was very tender and tasty… I recommend the chicken club sandwich. My daughter got the Cobb salad and the portion was huge! Their specialty lemonades are really good too! I tried the strawberry and basil! Yum!“

“We had a group of 24 people, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. Luis was excellent—he went above and beyond to accommodate us on very short notice, which is no small task for a group our size. He arranged a private room for us, making the gathering feel both comfortable and well-organized.
What really stood out was how quickly everything came together. The food arrived impressively fast, and the service never missed a beat despite the large party. Luis and the team made sure everyone was taken care of, and the whole experience felt smooth and effortless.
Highly recommend for large groups or special gatherings—great service, great coordination, and a very enjoyable experience overall.“

“Ate at the Jamboree location in Tustin and cashier Ali was courteous, kind, knowledgeable and very helpful in helping us understand the menu options. Even offered a couple samples to make sure we ordered something we’d enjoy. Great customer service!“

“The food was Dennys standard - not bad but not great.
The servers were really friendly and professional. We were so tired after a hard day of traveling and really enjoyed just relaxing. The staff didn't act bothered that we didn't eat quick and leave. We had a really nice time.“

“The food is amazing here. Always excellent. Always made the same consistent way each time we have been here. The staff is SUPER friendly and they have a beautiful dog-friendly patio. It does get really busy at lunch on Saturdays so be prepared if you come that day. Weekdays tend to be a lot slower. It quickly has become my favorite place to eat and is my go-to place now. The food is just as good delivered as well. Cannot go wrong here. Especially with the Chicken Club. Delicious. Fries are really good too.“

“Came for rubios and found a new restaurant
Didn’t know what to expect but we gave it a whirl. Fresh and delicious and nice variety of options. We loved the bread!!! We got the Tuscan chicken sandwich. Delish!!!! Will come back for the happy hour !!“

“They are very kind to the public.“

“Went with my parents for an early Christmas dinner and service was great… food was delicious… and atmosphere was on point!“

“Excellent food here! Glad it is still here after all these years.“

“My wife and I, plus my daughter Jennifer and granddaughter Breanna were very much please with our dinner last night. Michael our server came out and created us, by saying it was so nice to see you here again. Michael remember our drink order and promtly brought it out to us. The job Michael did from start to finish was amazing. From getting our order out on time and the desert was perfect for my granddaughter Breanna and my wife's as well. Always asking if everything came out right and if we needed anything else. What a perfect evening and servers like Michael make us want to eat here often. Thanks again to you Michael for giving us a beautiful evening.“

“Michelin-Level Experience at Outback Prices The Wild Artichoke in Yorba Linda is a hidden gem. I was expecting something entirely different — and was pleasantly surprised in the best possible way. We started with the smashed potatoes and endive salad, which made for perfect appetizers: light enough not to spoil our appetite, yet full of flavor to whet it. The portions were ideal for sharing with my wife. For our main courses, we ordered from the lunch menu. I had the Wagyu burger, and my wife went with the tempura fish and chips. I’m not sure how they did it, but every bite was incredibly well-balanced. The fish had a crispy exterior, just the right touch of Maldon salt, and a beautifully firm, flaky interior. The tartar sauce was exceptional — rich, creamy, and unlike any I’ve had before. The burger was a standout. Each ingredient was distinct and purposeful — no unnecessary fillers. Every component worked in harmony to deliver deep, layered flavors in every bite. We ended the meal with the Basque cheesecake, which was beautifully presented. It wasn’t overly sweet, and the perfectly burnt top paired wonderfully with the sweet berry compote. A special treat was getting to meet the head chef. What a pleasant surprise. He shared the story behind one of his dishes and mentioned that every item on the menu has its own story and purpose. That passion really comes through in the food. I’ve dined at many fine restaurants, and I can confidently say the quality here rivals places charging $150–$200 per plate. The value is extraordinary for the caliber of cuisine offered. This is a truly special hidden gem — perfect for a relaxed lunch with friends or an intimate dinner date. I can’t wait to try the rest of their menu!“

“OMG the food and service is excellent here. Alex aka waiter from beginning to end was not just a great waiter. But a super cool young man as well. Kenos needs more waiters/waitresses like him. Seeing how in interacted with his customers. I can see why the man across from me gave him a special tip. Oh ya lol back to the food. I got a Pork Chop with mashed potatoes and gravy, very well seasoned broccoli with carrots. For 🍨 a hot fudge sundae. Everything was delicious. Definitely coming back. But I do want to try out breakfast. I'm not lowering my review because Alex was excellent. But, the girl who delivered my food to me. She can be a whole lot more happy/friendly. She needs to be taught that her unfriendly service could fug it up for the main servers (less of a tip). If you try Kenos for dinner. Try to sit in Alex's section.“

“I was exploring places on my way to a shopping center and this restaurant sparked my interest. I was so glad that I got to come here with my family. It was a great time, family friendly and the food was yummy. My meatball sandwich was a 4/5 and I love that one of the options were tots! It was one of the reasons I chose this in the first place. I would definitely love to go back to try out something different. My sister got a croissant sandwich, one of my nieces got a chicken tenders and mashed potatoes kids meal, and my BIL got wings. The mozzarella sticks are really good.
(I Just wish it wasn't too far from where I live.) When I am back in the area, I'm definitely swinging by. Highly recommend it.“

“Make reservations on Friday, Saturday and Sunday’s otherwise it’s a long wait.“

“Ian came back for sure , I loved this restaurant. Grate servicios, very clean.“

“I couldn’t wait to share our experience at Benchmark restaurant in Santa Ana California. Everything about this place is perfection! It was a hot day, but the beautiful outdoor dining area was cool and breezy underneath the beautiful trees. Our waitress was knowledgeable, wonderfully friendly, and attended to all our needs. Each of us ordered a different item on the menu and I had to taste everything. I had the Spanish omelette, which was delicious, the burger seems like a very popular item understandably because that along with the delicious fries was exceptional. Enchiladas with mole were a wonderful treat, and the French toast was probably the hit of the table. This wonderful brunch dish was not exceptionally sweet, which made it so perfect. Some places just overdo it with the sweetness. We will definitely be going back many times to tryout dinners and more of the selections on all of the menus. I will also be spreading the word because this is probably my favorite place in Orange County now. Thank you Benchmark for a fantastic experience!“

“Love Summit House! It's perfect for celebrations because the location is so special with views from a hilltop. To top it off, the food is excellent and the staff is lovely - we felt very catered to and it was just my husband and I for our anniversary. The prime rib is what I usually come for and it is the best! And they have a cocktail called "Soul Mate Sour" which was a fun one to get for our anniversary. We will be back!“

“Factually the best breakfast burrito in the state of CA. Staff made me feel welcomed, very professional and courteous. The place was bustling with many people in line, but my order came out right away! The burrito is massive. Every bite contains the perfect ratio of crispy tots, melted cheese, fluffy eggs, and crunchy bacon. I was amazed at how stuffed the burrito was without falling apart or being greasy at all! And the sauces...I tried the habanero salsa, cheese sauce, and avocado crema. They each carry distinct flavors that complement the burrito so well, I had to keep alternating sauces with every bite because I couldn't decide which one I liked best. All the ingredients used were top quality, the freshness really stood out. Once you try LJ’s there’s really no going back to normal breakfast burritos.“

“First timer drove all the way from Downey worth the drive. I had the blue cheese bacon burger with garlic fries and of course a Dr. Pepper. Very friendly staff they all help out my daughter had the mushroom burger with onion rings and my son had the bacon cheese burger with tots. A must try the only other thing that caught my eye was the hot wings the table next to us ordered Definitely next time“

“This pie shop was a “stomping ground -hang out” while growing up. Always a great home cooked meal. Save room for a piece of their pie!“

“Ribs and chocolate cake, and sweet smashed potatoes and mac n cheese were superb. As was the tri tip salad. Service was the best. I wish I could teach ALL restaurants how to make regular mashed potatoes, especially if they aren't serving gravy. Never the less, 5 stars.“

“Hermilo always takes care of us and is the best - couldn't ask for a better waiter. Rating 10+ just because of his service.“

“The service here is great, the portions are generous and the food is Fantastic. Best pumpkin pancakes anyplace. My only wish is that they had fresh squeezed orange juice.“

“First time trying Dave’s Hot Chicken, and I was impressed. The food was delicious, but what really stood out was the customer service. Destiny at the front counter was friendly, professional, and explained the menu in detail. She made sure my order was correct, offered drink and shake options, and greeted every customer who walked in while helping me. That level of attention and hospitality is what keeps people coming back. Great food, even better service. Keep up the awesome work!“

“Food is delicious and service is great!“

“They have a patio area to hold and event. Check them out it's amazing here.“

“What an awesome spot to grab a bite. The food was fantastic and everything tasted super fresh. I really loved how they serve the meals on branded paper, which is such a fun touch.

The crispy chicken sandwich I had was cooked perfectly. It was loaded with crunchy lettuce, ripe tomato, and those pickles really tied it all together. Plus, having a board game right there on the table to play while we waited was a total win. I will definitely be back.“

“We had a great dinner here tonight. excellent preparation of a sirloin for wifey and great chicken fried steaks for me. I have had the pot roast elsewhere would recommend it. I noticed the spaghetti dinner was not on the menu. They have 24 hours again, breakfast all day as well. Location is handy to a few places we go. will remember it's there“

“Had a great experience there watching the USA game after the game, we were greeted by a very nice and professional server. I think her name was. Zahra (sorry if misspelled) she was very helpful and quick at our tables as service should be . I definitely recommend this place if you’re watching any sports event. And big shout out to Zahra for taking care of us . She made us feel like service should be. Very professional very prompt.10/10 experience“

“Great food !! Had no chance to take a picture of the food but I got the chipotle rice bowl! Delicious, big portions. Dad got the pull pork he said it was yummy ! The desserts were AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS! Will definitely be back out next trip to Cali. You will also see the owner greet every table, I think that’s amazing! Makes you feel well taken care of. Thank you !“

“Found this place when looking for a lil brunch spot on a Sunday afternoon. Me and the wife swung by, great service. I got a breakfast burrito. Pretty good flavor just wished it was a bit bigger. But it was 9 bucks so I was happy about that. My wife got their basic breakfast food and she thought it was great. Similar to norms or dennys level of breakfast. Overall, we will be back soon!“

“Update May 2026 was seated right away ordered meatballs and pasta with Alfredo sauce, chips, salsa and guac and barbecue wings. Wings came out great with great blue cheese and carrots and celery. Alfredo came out great with good meatball a little too much bread though enough to stuff a turkey the chips, salsa and guac was plentiful, but the guacamole did not have really any flavor. The ribbon sandwich we ordered with onion rings. The onion rings were good we asked for a side of ranch the Reuben sandwich looked like it was on life-support not the traditional Roscoes that you remember from the past. Sent back to Rueben, but they still charge me for the ranch dressing which we did not need anymore. Got the ribs full rack. Flavor was good as for a side of barbecue, but it came out cold. The ribs were a little bit thin on the meat the potato salad was good. The baked beans were a little bit watery. Overall, the meal was a 6.5 out of 10.Food was good and filling, pazookie was huge, great service by Devon and staff“

“great place for dining....“

Started in highschool with the OG in Alhambra on valley Blvd... Where we could get a pastrami fries and a drink for under 5.00 got the same thing today for $19. 76...🤦🏽‍♀ But still good so worth it“

“Great service nice servers“
