47 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.“

“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 place was amazing. I stopped by for dinner and a drink. I ordered some wings, with the house favorite sauce. And a guava margarita here are some pictures, because I don't think I can even put it into words just how awesome this restaurant looks and feels. It's extremely hot in Redlands California so they provide outside sitting guests with misting fans“

“Very nice place, good food and service 😊“

“Too many earwig bugs flying around lading in people. We couldn’t enjoy our food eating outside the bugs kept lading on us. A while ago we came and there was no earwigs. I don’t mind bugs much it’s expected out in nature but this was not good I had three land on me and they are huge and they kept landing on all the people there. I’m scared of bugs if your not then go for it. I’ll be eating in my car. Food is delicious!“

“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 ☘

“First time here... walked into a packed house! We sat at the counter to avoid the wait. Had the chicken fried steak breakfast plate and my bf had a chicken fried steak skillet plate. Everything was delicious! Great flavor and food quality and decent prices! The service was fantastic, quick and friendly. I loved the fact that we could see the walk-in fridge from the counter and it had glass doors so you can see the beautiful and clean food prep. Everything looked clean and well organized. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be coming back!“

“Fantastic food and service“

“First time going to Uncorked on State. Found them on the AAA magazine where great restaurants are featured and reviewed. Best place ever. Had a party of 7 and they were able to accommodate us. What a beautiful, cozy little place. The atmosphere were magical. The wait staff are amazing and on top of all your needs. Food is fantastic. Wine excellent. Our party enjoyed it all. Just the kind of place we live. Excited to come again and highly recommend Uncorked on State. Amazing, 4 stars.“

“Good food, good atmosphere Friendly staff“

“***EXPERIENCE 1*** (Positive) 07/16/25

If you're not looking, you can definitely miss this amazing place. Once you find this place you'll discover an unpretentious down home country diner. When you enter you're greeted by a very friendly woman. The food here is mostly American Comfort food with some house specialties.

I ordered a Patty Melt, my Aunt and Mom ordered a Vegetable Omelette and Sausage Patties. The Sausage Patties were nicely browned, juicy and delicious. The Vegetable Omelette was perfectly executed with fresh ingredients, and the Hash Browns were browned up crisp. The Patty Melt rye bread was expertly grilled as were the onions. The cheese was melty, and the burger patty was meaty. This was one of the best Patty Melts that I've ever had. Plus, the shoestring fries were wonderfully crispy bites of potato.

Hills Country Kitchen is a Country Diner serving real honest to goodness Comfort Food, run by a charming woman. Everyone that EATS should drop in at least once. Then you'll be back again.“

“The best biscuits and gravy I’ve ever had!!!“

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

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

“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!“

“Thankfully we were seated at the very back of the restaurant because it is a small space that gets very loud. Everyone I dinner with ordered the steak and we're happy. The only comment was there was a bit too much salt. As for me, I had the strawberry chicken salad. It was very good, as was the creme brulee for dessert.“

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

“Great little place to unwind“

“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.“

“Are you kidding? Absolutely amazing. Always wanted to stop here on our way home. I wish we had something this good on the mountain. My husband and I both had the Fried Steak breakfast with potatoes O'Brien and biscuits and gravy. I seriously have never had a breakfast as good as what we had there this morning. Flavorful gravy and it was definitely homemade, crispy Fried Steak and super yummy potatoes. Biscuits and gravy was so good. Fluffy biscuits but also like crispy edges? I don't know but all we know is this is our spot from here on out. We jokingly mentioned relocating just so we can eat here. Tried a sample of their beans. True cowboy beans!! Can't wait to try their ribs and everything else on the menu. We found their Instagram page so we were checking out all their food pictures. YUM! Service was great! Busboy was super polite and attentive, helpful to the waitress and our waitress was super sweet. Welcoming relaxing environment. If you haven't been and checking it out you must stop in!! Check their days and hours for breakfast served. We visited around 9:30 Sunday morning.“

“Just hit up 2Krzy Grill in Beaumont. Perfect spot if you're counting macros or getting summer-ready 💪🔥 Their teriyaki bowls are stacked with protein, fresh veggies, and no MSG. I went with the grilled chicken breast. Clean, filling, and full of flavor without wrecking my diet. Great post-gym meal or if you're just tryna eat good without all the guilt. Fast service, chill vibes, and everything is fresh. Solid spot for fitness heads or anyone on that clean bulk/cut game. 🥗🍗“

“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“

“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.“

“I love this old school Farmhouse Restaurant that's been around the neighborhood forever. If you're passing by the 10 freeway heading east or west in the bone Beaumont / Banning area you should check this place out. Since 2024 The Farmhouse Restaurant has been divided it's building into another restaurant east side of the Farmhouse restaurant is a Mexican restaurant I haven't had the pleasure of eating on that side yet. But when I do I will post a review.“

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

“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“

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

“Muy buen servicio y muy rica la comida.“

“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! ❤️🥂“

“Sat at the bar to enjoy the great selection of Whiskey. Truffle burger was cooked perfectly. Skylar made an excellent whiskey sour; she is a great bartender. The prices on whiskey pours are excellent. I'll be back my next trip to Redlands“

“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!“

“Great! Amazing place. Recommend“

“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.“

“very nice! food and service was great!“

“Cranking’ club vibe! Loud music. Sticky dance floor. You know, the hip spot.“
