16 Best American Restaurants in Cambria

“Robin’s is phenomenal on so many levels. The cuisine is out of this world with so much variety. The team is extremely kind, professional, knowledgeable & fun. The ambience is absolutely stunning and so peaceful. The music is fun & uplifting. To top it off, Shanny, the owner, is a leader in contributing to worthy causes. She always generously donates food, time & heart to those in need of support. Even the fire in SO Cal. We love her!“

“I was on the way from Hearst Castle and really lucky to visit this place which offers really outstanding food, for example an excellent octopus appetizer. Then the wine selection is really truly impressive, with special labels from Paso Robles even by the glass, and at less than $20 per glass. And they are very polite and prompt. What else can you ask for?“

“We love this place! The staff is so friendly, the food is great, and the bakery is awesome! My husband loves the chicken fried steak but I highly recommend either the avacado toast or the roasted vegetables with polenta. Don't leave without trying the olallieberry cream puff, yum!“

“This was truly one of the most enjoyable dining experiences I’ve had in a long time, and everyone in our party echoed the same sentiment. First of all, they graciously accommodated our group of 25, and the room they provided was charming and spotless. The food was exceptional; everything was served beautifully and we had no complaints whatsoever. Our server was fantastic, always attentive and very kind. We look forward to returning again soon!“

“So, we originally stopped at Robin's but were told they were short staffed and there would be at least a 10 minute wait. There appeared to be empty tables everywhere though. So, we headed around the corner to Creekside Garden. The staff was friendly and helpful. The patio was comfirtable and welcoming. The found was so very good. My husband had a turkey fresno cheese sandwich with fries. The peppers were cooked perfectly for the sandwich and the fries yummy. I had beef fres.o and cheese sandwich with potato salad . The meat was perfect, peppers delicious and the potato salad was amazing. We will be back as the experience was better than we've had at Robin's.“

“An oasis…rolled into town after driving all day, and just wanted a beer. A good beer. Got exactly that.
I come from the land of Pliny and so many other amazing brews, it was nice to get to try something new. Fella behind the bar was chatty and attentive, even though we were the only people there. Location is kind of stale in terms of ambiance, but the beer is good and cold. Will visit again this vacation I am sure.“

“Had lunch with a friend there the other day and I loved how fresh everything was. The chef came out and greeted us which is always a great experience. Everything was done old school there which I can really appreciate. Pasta was delicious! Attended a 🎶concert 🎶there last night. It was a fun night with great music by Jill Knight and Giovanni did a super job at providing a special menu for the evening. ♥️“

“The Corvettes of Bakersfield visited Cambria Pines Lodge on Sunday, July 9th for a lovely brunch in the garden room. We had 15 cars and a group of 30. We were welcomed by Angel, who took some group pics for us and led us to a perfectly set room ready to accommodate our group! Everyone enjoyed the mimosas and bloody Mary’s as well as our brunch choices. Our servers were attentive and did a great job! After brunch, we ventured out to the garden and played the assorted lawn games - lots of fun. Several members booked rooms to stay over and enjoyed the resort! Many of us strolled the grounds and took the trail leading the Cambria Nursery. Thank you Cambria Pines Team. Visit our Facebook page (Corvettes of Bakersfield) for pics!“

“Went here for the first time tonight . I have always wanted to try this place so a few of my friends came here tonight . The mimosa’s are outstanding you get so many choices and flavors . A total 10 in my book . We each had a meal . One friend had the fish and chips and she said they were goof . I myself had the veggie burger which was excellent. My friend had the special turkey melt she said it was really good .definitely will be back for more mimosas. Highly recommend you try it .“

“Main Street Grill, Cambria – Review

Main Street Grill is exactly what you want from a proper American bar-style spot. Big screens showing football, laid-back vibe, and no nonsense. You come here hungry and you’re leaving full.

Portions are big and the food is proper hearty stuff – think classic American comfort food that actually hits the spot, not fancy, just done well. It’s the kind of place you go when you want a solid feed, not a delicate little plate.

Beer selection is decent too – enough choice to keep you happy while you watch the game.

Overall, it’s a great casual stop in Cambria if you’re after big portions, proper bar food, and a sports-bar atmosphere.“

“All of it. !!! The whole kit and caboodle“

“We walked three miles on new years day 2025 to get a pizza, hoping they would be open. Been coming here since 2003 and they have yet to disappoint us. We give them five stars across the board! Thank you for the great service! Until next time...“

“I always look forward to a meal at this homey place. My friend from his Cambrian days, John Brannon, recommended the hamburgers, and even though I was primed for breakfast I had the Mushroom Burger. Delicious, and the friendly waitress volunteered that I could order onion rings instead of fries at no additional charge. It was a great choice!“

“Excellent food and service.“

“We enjoy everything about West End. The food is really good and the atmosphere is friendly and homey. Owner, Vicki, is the friendliest person ever.“

“We were with a large crowd, booked 10 rooms. one of the staff at the front desk needs to go back for some customer service training. she was very rude to my 80+yr old Mother as well as some other family members. The front desk is the face of the property. fix that and anything else will resolve.“
