24 Best American Restaurants in Culver City

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Laurel Grill and it was an excellent experience from beginning to end. The restaurant has a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable as soon as you walk through the door. The staff greeted us with genuine smiles and provided friendly, attentive service throughout the entire meal without ever making us feel rushed. The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully prepared. Every dish arrived fresh, full of flavor, and cooked exactly as ordered. You can really tell that the kitchen takes pride in using quality ingredients and paying attention to every detail. I especially appreciated the generous portion sizes, which made the meal feel like an incredible value. The drinks were also great and paired perfectly with our food. The restaurant was clean, well organized, and had a relaxed atmosphere that made it easy to enjoy time with family and friends. It is not always easy to find a place that combines outstanding food, excellent service, and such a pleasant environment, but Laurel Grill definitely delivers on all three. I left feeling completely satisfied and already looking forward to my next visit. I would gladly recommend this restaurant to anyone searching for a memorable dining experience because it truly deserves all the positive reviews it receives.“

“Still takeout due to the pandemic. Order on tock.“

“As most of old Hollywood fades away silently, this one is going out with a bang! please consider stopping by, and stepping back into the days of Frank, Dino, and the rest of the Rat Pack..... you won't be disappointed.... if you can't stay, take home a fabulous TV dinner, from the menu.... again, it's not to be missed.... but don't wait too long, sadly it won't last forever, and another treasure will only be matchbooks and memories😞“

“Our second time being there. Truly amazing experience. Food is absolutely outstanding, dessert is not as impressive. Typical pricing for testing menu is worth it BUT charging twice as much for ALMOST the same food and charging twice as much for valentine evening was not justified.“

“oh em gee, love love love!! this seriously is some of the best crispy chicken sandwich i’ve had in a while, it’s perfectly seasoned with the best crunch. the workers are super welcoming and sweet! even gave us free corn ribs because they heard it was our first time, defo recommend the corn ribs and the original sandwich mild. definitely recommend if you haven’t tried!!“

“Excellent Fresh Organic Options“

“Loved this hotel. The rooms were really nice with great amenities, and the backyard and pool were amazing. I’ve stayed at many Hiltons, and this was by far the best breakfast restaurant menu I’ve had — you can tell they have a great chef. Every choice was excellent, and honestly I’d pick this breakfast over most trendy brunch spots. The servers were all very friendly, and Jesus G was especially welcoming.“

“Angel at this IHOP made my California visit worth revisiting my favorite breakfast destination. She made up for a prior unsatisfactory experience at home which made me rethink my choices. She served my friend and I with a smile and she did everything an experience worth mentioning. She restored my trust in IHOP.“

“Great asian fusion food. Awesome for happy hour!!“

“Just finished a fabulous dinner at the DTLA location! We got the Block Bowl and a Combo plate with Brisket and Pulled Pork - everything was delicious, the service was really warm and friendly, and the whole vibe was great! We’ve been eyeing this place for awhile and will definitely be back!!“

“Great tasting food. Luz our server was amazing“

“Delicious little chicken place. Great food, small portions—kinda. Lots of side, not much chicken. I ordered the dark meat 1/4 plate, $18+ for two small pieces of chicken. Really good chicken, well seasoned.

Chicken was juicy, potatoes golden, bread soft, sauces delectable (chili and garlic). Hummus was RLLY good, and I don’t even like hummus.

Service was friendly and quick, what you’d expect from fast-ish food in Culver. The bright yellow decor is friendly, airy. A nice spot to chat over lunch.

I’m a 20-something guy, so lighter appetites would probably be satisfied with chicken portions. TBH I will be back and ordering the same meal. I’ll just… drink a protein shake first, or something.“

“Fast, friendly service. Fresh, delicious dishes. What’s not to love?“

“Muy buena y personal muy amable“

“John Michael is fantastic, the best customer service.“

“Great place to hear live jazz. Food is great and a really nice vibe to boot! Highly recommend!“

“Fun, singing, great drinks, friends….party til it closes“

“I recently had the pleasure of attending the pro-series cooking course led by Chef Manifa and it was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment I walked into the kitchen, Chef Manifa’s passion for food and dedication to teaching was evident. Her classes were not only highly informative but also immensely enjoyable.

Chef Manifa masterfully blended professionalism with warmth, creating an environment that was both educational and inviting. Her deep knowledge of culinary techniques, combined with her clear and patient teaching style, ensured that everyone in the class (from beginners to seasoned cooks) could follow along and improve their skills.

What truly set this cooking course apart was Chef Manifa’s ability to make complex techniques accessible to everyone. She broke down each step with precision, offering invaluable tips and tricks that only a seasoned expert could provide. Whether it was perfecting a delicate sauce or mastering the art of knife skills, Chef Manifa made each lesson engaging and achievable.

Moreover, Chef Manifa's enthusiasm was infectious. Her storytelling and anecdotes from her culinary journey, and genuine interest in each participant's progress made the class feel personal and enriching. The hands-on approach meant we could immediately apply what we learned, and Chef Manifa was always on hand to offer guidance and encouragement.

The highlight of each class was, of course, the food (lol)!! Under Chef Manifa’s expert instruction, week after week, we created dishes that were not only delicious but beautifully presented. The emphasis on using fresh, high-quality ingredients and understanding the science behind cooking techniques truly elevated the experience.

Chef Manifa delivered an outstanding cooking course that exceeded all my expectations. Her expertise, charisma, and passion for the culinary arts made for an unforgettable experience. I left the course not only with new skills and recipes but with a renewed inspiration for cooking.

I wholeheartedly recommend Chef Manifa's classes to anyone looking to enhance their culinary repertoire while having an incredible time!!!

Thank you so much, Chef Manifa you are the best!!!“

“This is a must visit if you are in LA... The chicken was done to perfection!! So crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside 🤌🏾
The service was good and the seating was okay too... unfortunately the restroom was terrible 😕 Overall the restroom isn't what you're coming for... again, a must visit 🙌🏾“

“Great food and a cool place“

“Great place to eat. Great selection of protein“

“Valeria is left by herself to work but she making this happen fast. She has good customer service but as a business owner she needs another person to help because she’s going all the work by herself! If she has a rush she will not be able to help all customers“
