17 Best American Restaurants in Cerritos

“I stopped by Lazy Dog on the second day of my LA business trip while I was in between checking out of my hotel and waiting for our Airbnb to be ready. It ended up being a really nice place to relax and enjoy a good meal.

I tried the Bacon Candy, which was probably the most memorable item. The bacon was sweet, slightly spicy, and nicely caramelized from the brown sugar. I had never really had bacon served this way before, so I thought it was very creative and surprisingly addictive.

I also ordered the Chuckwagon Flat Iron Steak, and it was excellent. The steak was flavorful and nicely grilled, and the smoked chili butter and crispy onion straws made it even better.

There’s also a Lazy Dog near where I live, so this wasn’t my first time dining with them. What impressed me was how consistent the quality was. Even while traveling, the food and overall experience were just as good as what I’m used to back home.

Lazy Dog has always been very consistent for me, and this visit was another good example of that. Comfortable atmosphere, good service, and really solid food. I would definitely come back again.“

“Great little bistro to enjoy a quick bite before a show at the Cerritos performing arts center. The menu is a tad limited, so if you are in the mood for really good bar food, it hits the spot and the pours are liberal. Tip accordingly, don't be cheap!“

“We had 11:30 appointment it wasn't really busy. We didn't get our food items as ordered. She forgot fries for the kids which is an important thing if you have kids. Overall service was I say slower than normal. The waitress was a good energetic person but it was slow moving day“

“I was blown away by the outstanding service and incredible food at this restaurant. The staff was genuinely kind and knew the menu inside out, making great recommendations for our wine and food pairings. The duck breast was cooked to perfection, and the tarte tatin was an absolute highlight. The ambiance was intimate and charming, with elegant French-style décor and soft, ambient music. This restaurant provides a fantastic, authentic French dining experience and is definitely worth visiting!“

“The food was amazing what I got was the bbq bacon smash burger and it was out of this world and the fries were perfectly seasoned and the cashier was nice and he asked if we were looking forward to the World Cup and asked about our day and the cook was nice and the atmosphere was good“
