50 Best American Restaurants near Calimesa

“This place is absolutely delicious! My wife I recently moved to Yucaipa and the Haus Bistro is about 3 minutes down the street from us. We had a spontaneous date night and walked in around 6pm on Saturday and the place wasnt busy at all. The beers they have here are totally unique and great tasting too. They also have a sugar spice rim that goes great with the Golden Monkey Ale and the Chai Cider Ale. We started with with Mac Balls and Portobello Fries, which could be a meal in itself, and I had the Cattlemen burger which was so juicy and flavorful and the wife had the smoothered chicken special with cheesy polenta. Everything was perfect and packed full of flavor. The staff was very attentive and friendly. Very chill vibe and great music. Highly recommend the Haus Bistro for a nice and chill date night or family dinner.“

“Rumor's has it all fantastic bartenders, awesome live music Saturday nights, great drink prices, and all the patrons and staff treat you like family. Rumor's is a hidden gem in Calimesa, Ca.“

“We just came from having breakfast at the Kafe Royale. We have been coming here for many years. Everything was ok but we had the most nasty waitress. From when we were seated, she had the worst attitude. Very lazy stout woman, very flippant. I never post reviews, but, I was so upset. Maybe management will go through the reviews. Although she was not wearing a name tag. She was a large heavyset woman with her hair in a bun, her station was on the left side as soon as you walk in. My husband and I both have trouble walking and use canes. We have always given the waitress our bill to bring up for payment. This time after giving her our bill as she returned to the register she said loud enough for us to hear" Well you always have the option to pay your bill yourself" I felt so embarrassed . I did however, tell her I thought that was very rude.“

“Finally meet with friends at Finney’s here in Redlands, and it did not disappoint! For drinks, we tried the blueberry lemonades; so refreshing and perfectly balanced with the sugar rim.

For appetizers, we had the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls and buffalo cauliflower😋

And to top it all off, our entrees were the tri-tip tacos… and wow… bangin’! 🌮🔥 Every bite was perfection.

Great atmosphere, amazing food, and definitely worth a visit. Can’t wait to go back!“

“OUTSTANDING!! Love everything about this place! I attended a dinner show "Finnegan's Wake" and the actors/ musicians/servers were just mindblowing! Such talented young people♥️ I've been to Ireland 5 times and these talented musicians and singers were better than anything I've heard on the emerald isle ☘

Parking: Gravel parking“

“We had a fantastic experience at the Redlands Denny’s! Alejandra provided us with great service she was very attentive throughout our meal and made sure we had everything we needed. We enjoyed some delicious burgers, and I tried their newest triple cheeseburger, which was absolutely amazing. Alejandra’s humor added an extra nice touch to our visit, making the whole experience even better.“

“This was not a planned outing my husband and I sometimes choose places to eat randomly I saw that this place was close to home so we went to check it out and I'd have to say we were pleasantly pleased the BBQ pulled pork sandwich was served on a brioche bread which was just fabulous my husband enjoyed the BBQ chicken sandwich we shared a small side of potatoe salad it is small but the sandwiches were filling and the pulled pork meat portion was very generous and filling so had the size been larger we may not have finished it we were very happy with our choice that Sunday afternoon and we also had a live band singing while we ate they were great vocalist and some of the songs brought back some childhood memories very nostalgic. 😊👍“

“When we made a quick stop at this cozy breakfast spot on our way to the outlets. The food was delicious—I enjoyed the Chilaquiles, giving them an 8/10. The place was budget-friendly with wonderful service, and the food was warm and fresh, fueling us for the day ahead!“

“Always amazing. Best expresso martini in town. Excellent staff and atmosphere.“

“Fantastic food and service“

“We went to Corky’s for my mother’s 86th birthday. The staff accommodated our party of 8, without any problems. The server was very nice and the restaurant was clean. My drink was filled and all our little requests were met. The prices were good and the quantity of food was good. Yes, I would recommend Corky’s to all my fiends and family.“

“Good food, great atmosphere and plenty of parking. Would definitely recommend“

“The most important thing about this place is that it has the best sea food soup this side of the Atlantic! Converted barn, great space! The service was alright! One server, but the place was not too busy! As I was leaving then It started to fill up! More servers showed up! You won’t be disappointed with the food!“

“My husband and I visited this beautiful restaurant on our anniversary yesterday and had an incredible time. Every detail created such a splendid experience. From the immediate greeting at the door, complimentary sparking wine to celebrate and the flavorful food we would choose this restaurant over a million times. Although it was 4PM on a Friday night that we came to visit so it was pretty empty, this place should be packed 24 hours 7 days a week! I'd give 1000 stars if I could!“

“Flo’s is the best and the staff are amazing!! We’ve been going here for years and is our favorite breakfast establishment by far!“

“Zach was our waiter and he was great! He was kind and treated us like royalty! He was so busy but kept a professional attitude! He is a hard worker and was back and forth and they were short staffed but he kept his great demeanor. I would recommend him as a great waiter to anyone. I think it’s sad that they don’t have enough staff and then leave it in the staff to hold up the business“

“Great service and hospitality , I love this place and Richard is always an amazing host to me and my friends“

“I would actually give tartan 3 1/2 Stars overall if it was offered. The reason I would do that is because the owners fail to offer any Hangar 24 or any other local breweries beer. In this day and age of local craft beers this is simply unacceptable. A historical and I'll say legendary gastro pub such as Tartan should proudly represent some locally fermented drafts! I remember the previous owner used to at least offer Betty IPA on the menu.“

“A friend brought me here because the Italian place next door was closed. I don't typically go to sports bars so I'll give the atmosphere five stars because I think it matches what a sports bar should be. Service was excellent. Food was just okay and kind of expensive. Iced tea was terrible and they bring you a cup of water with a new straw in it every time. What a waste. More straws means more sea turtle deaths because they mistakenly eat them and die. A lot of plastic ends up in the ocean. It's also kind of weird that they card you just to eat at the place. As someone with young kids, I definitely won't be back.
I'm sure the demographic this place is meant to attract (male sports aficionados between the ages of 45 and 75) will enjoy this place, it just wasn't for me.“

“Man I just fell in love with this server I just met an hour ago , she was so beautiful and nice and make us feel welcomed , she has tattoos , nice smile I just didn’t her her name by chance , I would come back just to eat there again and enjoy the food and see her“

“Great little place to unwind“

“I love the food, very tasty. My kids love it. We highly recommend this place. Excellent customer service. 10/10 !!!“

“At this casual eatery, the menu brings together comfort food classics with a tropical twist. The full rack of ribs is tender, smoky, and slathered in a rich, tangy barbecue sauce that melts in your mouth. It’s perfect for meat lovers craving a hearty, flavorful meal. Alongside, the fried chicken delivers crispy, golden perfection with every bite—juicy on the inside and seasoned to satisfy. For those in the mood for something familiar yet indulgent, the pepperoni pizza hits the spot with its crispy crust, gooey cheese, and generous layers of spicy pepperoni.

To wash it all down, the house mango drinks are a refreshing standout. Sweet, cool, and slightly tart, they pair surprisingly well with the savory mains and offer a light, tropical balance to the richness of the meal.

Beyond the food, the experience is elevated by clean, well-maintained restrooms—a small but important touch that shows attention to customer comfort. Perhaps most memorable is the friendly server, whose warm smile and helpful attitude make guests feel right at home. Whether you’re dining in with friends or grabbing a quick bite, this spot combines great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and thoughtful service in one delicious package.will come back again“

“Had the best time here last night enjoying live music! Our server was Lauren and she was simply outstanding! There was a gentleman too that served our larger group and they raved about him and their food as well. I didn’t get any food pics though.🤦🏾‍♀️ We had a large party at a few tables and she never missed a beat! 🥰 Patient and friendly the entire night. I had the impossible burger and it was perfect! The waffle fries were seasoned so well. I enjoyed a bottle of red wine with my meal, but I can’t wait to go back and experience the craft cocktails and brunch! Definitely a new favorite spot! ❤️🥂“

“Dickeys Barbecue Pit Restaurant located in Yucaipa California is a great place to get your favorite smoked chicken,beef,pork,ribs and more! They smoke their meats on premises and the portions are very generous! We had the brisket sandwich with onions,pickles all on a fresh steamy bun! Super fresh and tasty! The serve yourself soft serve ice cream really finished a great barbeque meal!“

“The food is absolutely delicious. Definitely worth it.“

“Stopped in for lunch. We were seated right away. Our server was very friendly and attentive. The food was really good and came out quickly. Pretty cool decor. The only reason I went 4 stars instead of 5 is because with that large of a selection of beer, they did not have a single Amber beer. Sorry, kind of disappointing.“

“So gooood and fresh! Try the chicken finger meal with their special sauce, if you like lightly breaded tenders you will not be disappointed. The dining room is very clean and aesthetically inviting. Be prepared to wait because they are very popular.“

“Great customer service, amazing food and warm inviting atmosphere! Highly recommended!“

“Muy buen servicio y muy rica la comida.“

“Our large group was warmly received and service was excellent. We were present on Taco Tuesday with a variety of delicious food choices and excellent margaritas. Prices were reasonable. Our group was especially pleased with the short rib tacos, wedge salads with tender chicken, and extraordinary margaritas. The atmosphere is lively.“

“very nice! food and service was great!“

“We drove tot his location since it’s the nearest to us… so about 1 hour away or so. Very welcoming. We came on a Friday, it was a little busy but the wait wasn’t bad. Our server Darius was super kinda and had great customer service! He did an amazing job. Food was delicious! We all enjoyed our food. Had a great time with my friends and would definitely drive back to this location. Thank you so much Chilis! 🫶🏻“

“Nailed it! To-Go. Steak and eggs, subbed vegetables for potatoes. Sirloin steak ordered and delivered medium rare. Over easy eggs dead on. Whole wheat toast that should have been ordered darker. Vegetable and eggs bland as expected to please a certain age group. Salt and pepper easily added. Steak seasoning medium-low spice, beef flavor. Thicc n juicy Less greasy feeling atmosphere than Dinnyz or pancake world. Staff was slow but attentive and helpful once they we freed up from waitress duty. Numerous seated tables seemed to be the cause.

Over all? Very good price for the quality. I give 5 stars for being as expected and I don't get food poisoning. Remember folks, realistical expectations make your life more joyful! Less angry anyway.“

“This place is pretty nice and the food was good. My job hosted the last two Christmas parties there. One year we had the brunch menu and this year we had brunch. The salads were so good and fresh and the pasta dishes were good too!! They even served cheesecake for dessert!! This place would be cool for a wedding reception!!“

“If you call in advance about a large party... please check in a week before & then a day before event. They do take reservations for large parties. So they can can properly staff in advance.
I dropped the ball on reconfirming the original information I was given concerning mid to large party events. So there was a misunderstanding/ miscommunication between me & the staff person I originally spoke with, however, the staff did a great job at accommodating our large birthday party of 14 ppl with 5 more added on last minute.
I do believe we were a bit overwhelming, but the end result was good. It was a full house tonight & the staff handled every obstacle like champs. Thanks you guys!“

“one of my favorite bars! friendly people and they gave me the opportunity to bring in my business of live entertainment!!!“
