50 Best American Restaurants in Fresno

“Stopped by this cute place after a long flight in. Jackie and her coworkers were so sweet and welcoming! The food was amazing as well. I got the Aroma Brunch Burger with a side of onion rings (perfectly crispy) and my husband got the Country Fried Chicken with a homemade biscuit.

Family run, nice comfortable atmosphere.

We started off with a freshly baked double chocolate muffin, and destroyed it in seconds. Will definitely visit again before our flight out.“

“Our first time dining here for our belated bday celebration. Everything was wonderful. Great drinks reasonable prices and good vibes!!“

“The cheeseburgers there are the best. I definitely recommend you try“

“I have only taken the time do write a review a couple times in my life, but this place was worth it. The food was great, not great, delicious (more than great). I like the old cafe feeling as well. Besides the great food, having Nancy as a waitress, was the icing on the cake. She was so nice and wholesome.

Thank you Nancy“

“Manager Mari (Fresno,ca) went above and beyond today for Father's Day to make our dining experience welcoming, important and just fantastic! We will definitely return, the food was amazing and everybody was very professional and kind , especially on such a busy day! Thank you Mari for your assistance.. hope you and your son have an awesome papichulo day!!“

“The Xinantecatl Restaurant arose on our horizon after a week of backpacking in the Sierras. I'm sure it wasn't only the contrast with rehydrated camping food while slapping hummingbird-sized mosquitoes. But this place is the real deal! Each person in our five person party descended into reverential silence while enjoying fajitas, salad with steak, camarones a la veracruzana (spicy and savory) and camarones a la diablo (SPICY and savory). Meals were served with hot corn tortillas following complimentary excellent thick cut tortilla chips and both red and tomatillo salsas, both tangy and yummy. The man who greeted us was also the chef and waiter, a charming guy on top of talented and efficient cook and cultural translator (ask him what the restaurant name means!).  Complimentary ice creams were his final gift as we departed home to the showers he never let on knowing that we needed.  I'll be back for sure whenever I'm in town!“

“The Lions Special was great this afternoon I loved all the ingredients in my cheese burger wish they had bottom less fries all you can eat, the service was exceptionally good, I appreciated everyone of those employees that made my day special.“

“waited over an hour for our food - all we ordered were nachos, chicken tenders, fries and a sandwich. there were literally 2 other tables besides us and they already had their food. server wasn't even apologetic or anything. finally had to get my nachos to go : menu said beef nachos. more like canned chili nacho with little to no "beef". not worth $13 by a long shot. never going back. DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!!“

“So good!!Wish I would of got a burger I will 4sure next time chicken and fries were Bammm made fast and fresh but I was most impressed with what I think is a bold statement the best onion rings Ive ever had Levi got it down and the ranch and smokey bbq sauce was delish w it Ill be back for those alone.“

“Their food is amazing. I highly recommend the omelets. Portions are still generous. The best part is their people, like family. They are usually packed and you may have a wait, but they are worth the wait.“

“Fun all the way around! That’s all“

“Service was great and food was delicious. I enjoyed watching the Raiders loose in this fun environment :)“

“Friendly services with great price. my best buy 1 get second one 50% OFF during Happy Hour“

“We came to Lazy Dog tonight to celebrate my son’s 21st Birthday we had such a great experience! The staff was great, the manager came out and greeted us and made us feel welcomed, and the food was awesome! We will definitely be coming back!“

“Can't say enough about this wonderful place great food!! The waitress was awesome she was on it the young man filling water glasses on it!! Kudos to the cook or cooks the food was delicicious! We were there celebrating my granddaughters 19th bday so all the waiters and waitresses took a picture with her they were so sweet and friendly I give it a 10 star!“

“Moved my Daughter here to California State University of Fresno. Decided to eat lunch and we saw Huckleberries we stopped in. Only reason for Four Stars for the food is because they don't have a Gluten Free Option. My Daughter had the hot Spicy chicken sandwich, her boyfriend got the steak sandwich, and my self I got the omlet Build your Own and a cup of fruit. The price isn't really that bad for the awesome quality of the food.
Alyssa was an awesome server....on point...with everything.

Dietary restrictions: No selection of Gluten Free items that is a bummer“

“Best lunch we’ve had in quite awhile! And the customer service was top notch! Definitely will be going back!!“

“best burger,and sweet potatoe fries are amazing great service“

“Good quality food and a good price. The Tap House at Sierra creates a lively atmosphere with several event nights such as Mon night Bingo, Tue night trivia, and occasional tap takeovers from local breweries. The service is great and everyone is friendly.“

“exelente service great quality food“

“We came to Lazy Dog tonight to celebrate my son’s 21st Birthday we had such a great experience! The staff was great, the manager came out and greeted us and made us feel welcomed, and the food was awesome! We will definitely be coming back!“

“Very fast service polite Employees and very good food“

“The service was excellent I was able to order my food the customer service was very helpful. I was able to order my lunch and enjoy everything. Lazzet was awsome she was nice took the time to get my order ready and also gave me some options on what the menu offered.“

“We have stayed here many times as it is convenient when we have business in Fresno. The staff is friendly and helpful, especially the bartender and front desk staff. The only problem is that this hotel is old and desperately in need of a remodel.“

“Plenty of options to keep your adventurous side interesting. Approachable choices for the non-adventurous eater. You can keep it simple or mix it up. The staff is always friendly. For what you get, the price is just right. I strongly recommend making multiple trips to find the perfect bowl that suits your palate.“

“EBT ACCEPTED!BOTH, food stamps & EBT cash! As well as debit/credit cards & cash.I personally get subs, 95% of the time. Usually if not short staffed, you can call your order in ahead of time, or order at the counter.You typically won't spend more then 5min waiting for your order, MAYBE 10mins if busy, or short staffed.Subs are typically REALLY good & fairly priced.They ONLY hire women (kinda sexist & weird), but they can be real snarky, short tempered & rude at times. For not reason, other then you ordering your sub, the way YOU want it.The pizza(s) are take & bake & everyone's oven, Cooks different. That's the only issue with the pizza(s), but my rating does NOT reflect on that issue.My rating is based off the STAFF as mentioned above & sub quality is 90% on point. But, that other 10% is when the ladies, are being b*tchy!????? - Rawk & Rall!

Vegetarian options: You can make any sandwich, pizza,etc. custom & add/remove certain toppings.

Dietary restrictions: You can request for certain things to be on, or off your pizza, sandwich, salad, etc.“

“I've visited The Hub multiple times and it never disappoints. The menu offers something for everyone, and the quality is consistently great.
The ribeye is cooked to perfection, juicy and full of flavor. For a lighter option, the veggie burger with loaded tots is a fantastic choice. The buffalo chicken salad is another favorite - the perfect balance of spicy and refreshing.
Whether you're looking for a hearty meal or a casual bite, The Hub has you covered.“

“Was greeted by an awesome young lady who was very kind and professional! Great customer service along with great food! ANIMAL STYLE is the only way to go!“

“Food is always fresh and the line goes quick even during busy hours. Most of the staff are friendly although some can sound a little rude but that’s because they’re busy all the time. Most of the time my order comes out correct but there was one time where they made a mistake, make sure to confirm they got your order correctly when they repeat your order to you. Overall still better than some other In-N-Outs; any In-N-Out you go to though will be an excellent experience 99.9% of the time!

Vegetarian options: Ask them for a “Grilled Cheese”, basically a cheeseburger without the meat patty (cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions of your choice, spread sauce, toasted buns). Like any other burger and their fries, you can get it “Animal Style”, with pickles, grilled onions, and extra spread sauce. Their Fries are fried in 100% sunflower oil. Remember to ask for a side of banana peppers if you like a little heat/tanginess with your meal!

Kid-friendliness: They have paper hats for kids to wear.

Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking spots in front of entrance as well as indoor seats dedicated for wheelchair users.“

“My wife and I went there for Monday night football and we love the atmosphere the food and the staff just found out this place existed and we are already planning a weekend brunch trip because that menu looks awesome“

“Atmosphere was great. Our server was amazing. Helpful with the menu and patient with us. Lol. Our food was amazing, the steak was cooked to perfection. The salmon was juicy, not dry at all. The pork chop my wife had was incredible. Definitely c9ming back for more. I'd like to thank the manager for coming around and checking on us. It was a great experience.“

“You guys are the BEST at what you do. Great customer service and the philly are OFF the hook Thank you“

“I DID NOT like it I LOVED it. I walked over from the local hotel and ordered the boulder and a large drink! Best burger I have had in a long time! Get yours and enjoy!!!“

“I love the outdoor patio seating. There is a huge fountain in the center of the patio, large plants all around, and it has a ‘Paris Cafe’ feel. The staff is so friendly and welcoming, and the food arrives quickly and hot. The food presentation looks like it came from a travel magazine. The food is reasonably priced, for the amount of food that you get. The food is delicious every time. Everything on the menu is delicious! I would highly recommend the Breakfast House. They make the best Belgian waffles in town and they use fresh strawberries, whipped cream and cinnamon sugar dust! The bacon is crispy and savory and the eggs are fluffy and rich. The crepe eggs Florentine were delicious as well! They also have a full bar, so you can enjoy a mimosa with your brunch!“

“Called in Ready in 15-20 minutes Food was delicious! Always is“

“Little slow service for our first time going.our party was 6 adults and 4 kids to find a table was fast but to get bread our food it took a little comparing to other places . If you want to go chill and are not super hungry this is perfect place. If you can wait for the food.“

“Here on business. This is a must go to on your visit to Fresno.“

“Went and visited Hammys for the time service was great and the food was really good plan on coming back!“

“good choices and friendly staff“

“Best Soul Food in Fresno. Everything tasted great….“

“The burger is pretty good. I thought the bread was going to be dry due to the flour on top, but it's actually not dry at all. The meat is tender, and flavors are more subtle, which is nice because it's not overly salty like some burger place.

I don't like potato wedges as fries because not everyone knows how to cook it well, but they did do a good job with the wedges. It's soft on the inside, crunchy on the outside, not soggy and oily.

The spicy green beans were good. It does have a spicy kick to it, and I also like that it's crunchy on the outside, like onion rings. I tried one of the spicy dipping sauce and it was good too.“

“fast service friendly server great food amazing choices“
