50 Best American Restaurants in Fresno

“Best ribeye steak and eggs EVER!
Staff is friendly and event patient with me, since it was my first time l. Miranda and Michelle are especially welcoming and hospitable, above and beyond. But ESPECIALLY CHLOE! Give her a RAISE NOW!
My wife had their amazing coffee flight and pancake flight and it that was also delicious and looked scrumptious. Definitely will be coming back“

“I tried the Dungeness Crab Panini it was amazing! I also tasted the triple Cuban, tuna, and turkey bacon avocado. The fries were perfect seasoned with a nice crisp bite and soft potato-y center. My personal favorite was the sample of the potato salad. I love potato salad just the way my mom makes it, but there’s a new salad in town. Focaccia’s potato salad is to die for! Try this gem!“

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

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

“The flavors here are amazing, everything from the salsa to the meals. The people here were super friendly and helpful, especially hours into our road trip with two babies. The quesobirria was one of the best I've had and the enchiladas roja were bold and spicy. So glad we stopped by!“

“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 food and service was excellent! I had their Fried Green Tomatoes for an appetizer and The famous Rueben Sandwich. I ride past this place almost everyday.... wish I hadn't waited so long to eat there! Delicious!“

“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!!!!“

“The hotdogs were incredible. The presentation was on point. Highly recommended rocket dog. 🐶“

“Fun all the way around! That’s all“

“I can't believe I've never tapped into the spot before. First time but definitely not the last time. Fish basket was on point and definitely have to go back to check out the rest of the menu. And you ever spent more time driving and eating because the passengers can never decide what they wanna eat? I got your fix right here. Jay and Amber got something for everybody. Literally! Thank you WD for the great food and excellent service. Now when you coming to Clovis? Praise God!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Good fast and friendly service“

“Highly recommend! The service is Great and very Friendly! Food was tasty and presented nicely om the plate. I had their Sunnyside Breakfast Combo. Going to try the biscuit and gravy next visit!“

“First time at Huckleberry’s, and it was amazing. So much delicious food and amazing staff. Janice was our server and gave great recommendations, and kept the coffee flowing. It was so good that I am back here the day after writing this review while I’m waiting for my breakfast.“

“We just happened upon Butterfish while in Fresno, it was Lunchtime and I love Poke, I made my own Bowl and this was the best Poke outside of Hawaii!! I live in So Cal & we know Sushi & poke, so go!“

“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!“

“I love Saizon - I think it’s one of my top choices in Fresno to eat at for special occasions. I’ve been there many times and most recently it was for oysters and drinks. I think they have a really good menu. Their grilled oysters are to die for. I usually love the Truffle Mac and cheese, the chicken taquitos and the sirloin. The restaurant itself is beautiful - I personally love their patio that is always my first choice. Overall highly recommend!“

“This In-N-Out location on West Shaw is consistently excellent. I come here pretty regularly since I travel through this area often, and it’s exactly what you want from an In-N-Out experience.

Like most In-N-Outs, timing matters. The best times to go are either right when they open or later at night during the week. Dinner rushes, especially on Friday and Saturday nights, can get very busy. Parking becomes more difficult, and the drive-thru line can easily turn into a 15–20 minute wait. That said, the food is always fresh, and the consistency makes it worth it.

The burgers, fries, and shakes are exactly what you’d expect from In-N-Out. Fresh ingredients, good quality, and made to order. Don’t forget to ask for peppers and extra spread packets at the drive-thru because they make everything even better.

One thing that consistently stands out is the customer service. The employees here are always friendly, efficient, and professional, even when the place is packed.

I’ve been to probably 30 different In-N-Out locations across California over the years, and this one absolutely lives up to the brand’s reputation. Consistently good food, consistently good service, and overall just a dependable spot. I’m glad this location is close by.“

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

“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!“

“We can’t say enough good things about our experience tonight! Not only was the restaurant clean, welcoming and food on point, but our server Evelyn made us wish we were locals. She was wonderful with our toddler and quickly eased the anxiety of eating out with a loud and unpredictable little one. She went above and beyond in helping to entertain him while still caring for her other guests and making sure we had everything we needed. It was refreshing to have the hospitality that once existed regularly but is now so hard to find. Great hire Hub… please consider Evelyn for a promotion/raise!!! Hats off to the cooks - food was excellent, fresh, and came out hot! Just enough variety on the menu but not too much to overwhelm or not be able to deliver well. 100% recommend!“

“Great pit stop for breakfast and lunch, its a small time country cafe, which means great food and boy it sure is yummy. They also do blended ice coffe drinks which was a pleasant surprise. I had a breakfast 2 eggs hashbrown and lingucia very delicious.“

“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 got my food to go. The girl who helped me was named Adriana. Super nice young lady.Very pleasant and professional. The food was great too.“

“I had the best burger in my memory at The Elbow Room this past Sunday. It was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Both my daughter and myself agreed it was top notch… worth every dollar.“

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

“Had a wonderful time. Great service and great food!“

“This is amazing! I'm grateful I recovered my stolen crypto thanks to securecoin .org [at] proton [dot] me. crypto rescue team. Highly recommend if you're in a similar situation!“

“the best in fresno period“

“I had 1 pancake, bacon and coffee yesterday. I returned today with my wife and we each had the same thing. We both grew up in West Fresno so it brought back some memories for both of us about Fresno's Chinatown. This is a hole in the wall type diner but you won't leave hungry. Our bill was $12 for both of us. I'll be back.“

“First time here and my daughter and I liked it, I will say though that the ring of hard melted cheese on top of the loaded fries isn’t possible to eat especially using flimsy plastic forks so I might suggest switching to a cheese sauce instead but other than that everything tasted good.“

“Amazing food.. they change their menu with the seasons and it’s all great“

“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“

“exelente service great quality food“

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

“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.“

“This was our first time at Max's. Our server Jax was so sweet and stayed on top of everything. I got the Kobe Meatloaf which was amazing! My husband got the Ribeye Special, which was yummmmy. Prices are very reasonable! Their mango tea was awesome and even their beer prices were cheap. We got their Vanilla Bean Creme Brulee and yea. Safe to say we ate too much but it was just an overall great experience. Also, having a reservation was nice. We got seated immediately. Some other reviews mentioned the atmosphere being loud... we didn't experience that at all. It was lively but we could still have a normal conversation. This will be a regular stop for us moving forward.“

“Some of the best food you’ll find in Fresno it’s a Galactic at best the fresh fish, the joint the fried green tomatoes, the meatloaf, the fried chicken the smothered pork chops are all over the top the greens potato salad, mac & cheese sweet potatoes, string beans some of the best side you’ll ever have This is a restaurant that serves brilliant well executed very flavorful food. The owner Chef Paul is beyond reproach when it comes to cooking technique he’s one of the very best in the San Joaquin Valley. In my opinion he rates right up there with the owner of the ripe tomato Rudy Paul does not get any better. You want good food you want solid food you want tasty food you come to this restaurant.“

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

“fast service friendly server great food amazing choices“
