10 Best American Restaurants in Encino

“Great food, Great outside patio. Counter service is good, once you get your food though best not expect anything else in terms of service. We asked for the heater to be turned on and some ketchup...still waiting. This has been my experience pretty much everytime.“

“Amazing Breakfast, I highly recommend.“

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

“My family loves to dine here!“

“We discovered Tasty Town Café by accident when taking our baby to his pediatrician—it’s right in the same building, and the amazing smell coming from the café convinced us to give it a try. Now it’s officially become our little tradition after every appointment!

Parking is easy, the café is clean, and the staff is always so friendly. The food is honestly so good—fresh, flavorful, and made with care. We’ve tried the sandwiches, wraps, and coffee, and everything tastes gourmet, like it’s made with real, handmade love. Even my picky husband is obsessed with their food, which says a lot.

Fast service, delicious options, and just an overall welcoming vibe. We’re so glad we stumbled upon this place. 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.“

“This is an easy spot when you want a casual sit-down meal and nobody wants to overthink dinner. The menu has enough variety for everyone, whether you’re getting burgers, fajitas, chicken crispers, pasta, appetizers, drinks, or just something simple with family. I like that it works for a quick meal, a casual dinner, or grabbing food after running around Encino. Like most chain restaurants, the service and wait can depend on how busy it is, but overall it’s a reliable place when you want familiar food and a relaxed meal.“

“Good service and delicious food 🍱“

“California Chicken Cafe is still, pound for pound, one of the best salad spots out there.

The California Chicken Salad with feta and avocado is my go-to. I usually add green onions and sprouts, then drench it in hot sauce and grab two whole wheat pitas to turn it into my own wraps. It’s simple, but it hits every time.

The app makes it ridiculously easy — order ahead, pull up, grab your food, done. No friction.

Also, the combo wrap (I think it’s called the Melrose Wrap now) is another solid move.

Consistent, fast, and just really good food.“

“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.“
