10 Best American Restaurants in Encino

“I have to share how great Judith, the manager, was today. I messed up my to-go order and put two chicken tenders instead of chicken tenders and chips. She not only not charged me for the chips after explaining the situation but gave me quite a large portion. I know chips are cheap but this small painless interaction was just so appreciated. I’ll go out of my way to come back here“

“My family loves to dine here!“

“Great food and the best waitress in town (Jessica). Everything is always fresh and tasty. Check it out.“

“Amazing Breakfast, I highly recommend.“

“I recently visited the Burgerim headquarters. I really like the franchise opportunities that they offer. I met with the owner and he was very informative and supportive. I think everything they offer is very reasonable and would make this opportunity very rewarding. They offer to work hand in hand with you and are a one stop shop. They help you every step of the way. My experience at the headquarters was very impressive and I am looking forward to working with Burgerim.“

“I have loved California Chicken Cafe and eaten here for years, including using their top-notch catering. When I moved away from LA in 2021, this was the place I missed the most. I recently stopped by the Encino location while in town and grabbed my favorite wrap. It was just as incredibly fresh and delicious as ever. The consistency is amazing. My only wish is that they would bring back indoor restaurant seating. I love this place so much. I really wish they would open a location in the Portland, Oregon area!“

“Let me begin with the positives such as a clean area to eat outdoor or indoor and the cooking area is clean. The lentil soup is vegetarian and super savory with the dill and seasonings. The soujouk burrito is delicious with great tortillas. Please don't change the tortillas. The green Greek salad is fresh and tasty. The coffee is smooth and perfect warn temperature. The macha was perfect as well. I believe what makes this a place I will come back to are the organic good quality ingredients they use and the attention to flavors. It's important to cook with care. They do cook with care and it shows. I will keep you posted if anything changes.
The negative for me is the parking and plastic utensils. Personally, I don't like plastic. However it will not deter me from coming back.“

“This sandwich, fries, a drink and choice of soup, salad or bottomless chips and salsa is $11! That's it, $11.

I'm a ling time customer of chili's. Long Beach California, avoid like the plague. The management is condescending and teaches staff to use abusive language regarding children. Lakewood is good. Palmdale is good. Valencia and woodland hills on Ventura are the absolute best. You can tell the management cares because of not only the staff but the customers! Quality customers dine at quality places. Quality restaurants are only quality due to impeccable leadership.

10* to the GMs at Valencia and woodland hills Ventura blvd!“

“Our dinner last night at IHOP was outstanding. I believe the difference was the service we received from Benjamin. We were greeted with friendliness and a smile as soon as we walked in the door and were seated promptly. Beverage order taken and filled quickly. All options and substitutions we addressed and accepted. The food was delicious, exactly how we wanted it, and served in a timely manner. Benjamin made sure our drinks were always full. He was really on top of everything during our meal making it a very smooth experience. We have gone to this IHOP many times over the years and typically the service is adequate. Unfortunately the previous time we had gone it was terrible. So much so that we addressed it with the manager another day. They offered to comp us a dinner, but that wasn't what we wanted, just better service. We decided to give them one last shot before writing them off. Last night was the complete opposite in the best way. Just service that went above and beyond any expectations. Benjamin really made all the difference and he is the reason will continue to go to this IHOP.“

“Good service and delicious food 🍱“
