New American Restaurants near Granada Hills, CA

“Awesome service and the food is amazing 😻“

“One of my absolute favorites from home. The best staff ever, amazing food and more. My final meal before moving to Texas was here shared with great friends and family. Flying back next month for the first time since I moved a year ago and ALREADY a meal or two here has been in the group text!“

“What a wonderful surprise. From the decor, the extremely professional and friend staff to the incredible food. I couldn’t not recommend Joe’s Cafe to everyone. Go!“

“I was visiting family I haven’t seen for awhile and wanted to eat Jerry’s deli what was my surprise urban plates took over I looked at the menu and decided to try it big portions, healthy , comfort food service was great specially was clean I will definitely come back soon.“

“My husband and I usually go during happy hour for their poke nachos and crispy brussel sprouts but have tried a few other things. Everything we've tried has been delicious but occasionally varies in preparation quality. We went on March 18th and ordered the poke nachos but they were not as good. The portion was a lot smaller than usual, so we decided to order another one. The second one came out great (I included a picture of the one prepared correctly) and that's when we realized they left off ingredients from the first one sent. They were still good but it was interesting that the two plates were that different. We didn't mention this to our waiter and I'm sure they would have been accommodating but maybe plates should be checked for quality before they're delivered?

Another note, we usually sit at the bar but we got a table the last time since the bar was packed. We were obviously fine with this but the cleanliness was extremely lacking. The menus had food on them and greasy fingerprints. I'm also not sure why the booths are never wiped down?? The tables are cleaned but the food just lands on the seats. Then you're wondering what else isn't cleaned, look around, and notice all the other spots that aren't wiped down. So gross.“

“Excellent brunch food and drinks, lovely atmosphere. Chilaquiles, shakshouka and pain au chocolat were delicious. Cannot wait to go back to the patio for dinner!“

“The location on Porter Ranch was not as loud as the one in Santa Clarita. The food was really yummy. So far, my toddler's favorite mac n cheese place. It did get busy, but our server was able to come around more constantly than the one at Santa Clarita. We sat outside even though it was windy and chilly, but the covers and heater made the atmosphere great .“

“Great service! Great breakfast! Melt in your mouth pancakes“

“This place has an incredible musical vibe and an amazing staff of great humans!!!“

“A gem of a dining destination with an elevated but accessible menu. Patio seating is a must, and coyote fries are a can’t-miss—as is the entire wine list.“

“The artistic name of the bistro matches the artistry and delicious flavors of the cuisine. A threesome: vegetarian, vegan, and carnivore found a multitude of savory options. Our waiter/thesbian: Chris was charming and anticipated our every request. Foreseeing a return.“

“Wonderful service, delicious food and the cake was TDF! Dense chocolate and creamy ganache topped off the filet cooked to perfection! And if you like olives, get the fried olives appetizer as well as the tuna tartar … can’t rave enough! Kudos to the chef!“

“Cool dicey bar feel with great drinks and fabulous bartenders! Loved it when it was Oyster Bar, and still loving it as Oy bar!!!“

“I celebrated Mother’s Day on the 12th of May 2024 at Joey in Woodland Hills. Very friendly atmosphere. Friendly welcoming . We had a very good and friendly service from Kavin. Good food. Nice presentation.“

“great quality at a good price“

“Great atmosphere and the food was great!“

“Great place to have a beer sliders and watch a game“

“Stayed here for a few days. Restaurant is open for breakfast and dinner. No food between 10-4pm if you’re in the hotel. Their little market does have food to go options.

Breakfast opens at 6am. Sadly, you can’t pre-order. I ordered for delivery one more and then pickup the next. If you order online, make sure to pay attention if you pick room service or pickup.

Had dinner a few times. They have grilled octopus. The one that I got was a tad salty and lemony. I’m not keen on lemon on my seafood. It was tender. So if you don’t mind it, then you’ll be ok. Otherwise, let them know to go easy on the lemon and salt. Also ordered fish tacos, chicken wings and truffle Parmesan fries. Out of all of them, I’d say truffle Parmesan was the best.

Staff is super friendly and attentive.“

“The fried chicken was amazing and fresh. The breading as well was perfect and was not to think nor thin and cooked to perfection. The customer service as well was impeccable, all of the workers as well as the owners caters to your needs and makes sure that your enjoying the place. Hands down one of the best fried chicken as well as the customer service I’ve ever had“

“I came here for a brunch. The food is okay, but the prices are too high for the neighborhood. I ordered the shareable mimosas, which came in an un-rinsed carafe (think dust and bugs). Thankfully, the manager comped them, but I was still charged for the drinks that replaced them.

Ultimately, I paid $70 for 3 mimosas and a salad. Okay, fine, but when I tried to pay, the tip options were only 3, 5, and 7%. When I questioned the waitress about this, she admitted they'd already charged me an automatic 20% gratuity, and those were additional tipping options.

It's still a beautiful restaurant with pretty good food, but for not being very busy on a Saturday afternoon, the service could have been a lot better.“

“#AmazingRestaurant #TheFrontYard 🥰“

“First visit. We came for after dinner drinks. The arched ceiling and mood lighting are a great aesthetic. But with so many hard surfaces amplifies sound. It was pretty loud inside, so we chose an outside table. The staff were super helpful in explaining their stock and choices. Our cocktails were ok. My friend ordered a double Jack and coke. When the bill came I saw his drink cost $24! Our fancy cocktails were $14-$18. $24 for two shots of Jack Daniels and coke was disappointing. I didn't raise the issue. It seems like a quality restaurant but it would be best to ask prices on their drinks before ordering. Check out my profile for more great eateries and craft cocktail bars. ✌?“

“Great food and service. Menu includes some delicious options not offered elsewhere. If you haven’t tried the Stand, you should.“

“my Go To restaurant always good food good service good time great outside patio“

“Best food to enjoy with your love ones .. I recommend this place 100% and it’s not expensive for the portions you get in your order! Thanks Dogs Haus! 🍔 🍟“

“Food is consistently excellent and the service is also great.“

“I work around the plaza so this is my go-to place to order from. Every time I have a full shift, I just order on the app, set a time to pick it up and my food is ready to go when I get there. The food is delicious and I always get the correct order, there have been no mishaps. The employees are really nice, I love the environment, personally it's the best place to eat from. My favorite meals are the Southwest Chicken Sandwich and the Southwest Chicken Wrap, I love the crunchiness of the tortilla strips and they are so tasty!“

“Great service @ amazing food!“

“Always a wonderful culinary adventure as well as good wines and craft cocktails! The bar staff can be quite creative and always friendly. Plus, the atmosphere is fresh and hip- Industrial yet cozy.“

“I was recommended to Nati’s by a friend. The menu is diverse & serves every craving you have when hungry! I just love Mexican food & these cooks have a gift! There’s a nice mix of Oaxaca & Jalisco in the food! The Nopales breakfast & salsas are excellent! Must try! Definitely coming back for more!!!“

“Good food, nice vibe, cool crowd. Very friendly and attentive service for Brunch on a very rainy day.“

“They have great vegan options.“

“Honestly very very nice people working at this place. They open at 11 but I was there at 9 am. I requested them if I can use their restroom? They allowed. I requested them to charge me for a sandwich, they refused. Usually in California they do not allow non customers to use restrooms with many many different excuses.“

“My assistant orders, my lunch and or dinner here every day, and it’s the highlight of my day. The food is consistently delicious, with a menu that offers just the right balance between variety and comfort. Whether I’m in the mood for something light or hearty, they have it all.

The staff is always welcoming and remembers my usual order, making me feel like a valued customer. The service is quick, which is perfect for my day, yet the quality is never compromised.

The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for a quick bite or a relaxing break. And the cleanliness? Spotless every time.

If you’re looking for a reliable and tasty spot for lunch, this place is a must-visit!“

“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.“

“I love Avocado Toast ❤️ I’ll be back“

“The blackberry crunch toast was amazing. Great service, friendly staff & nice location.“

“I've experienced happy hour, dinner, and the sit-down bar at this place. The food is priced as you would expect for a location on Ventura Blvd; however, the taste and quality here surpass that of any other spot on the block. Granted, it is a tight and smaller location, but being situated on the hottest block of Ventura Blvd makes up for it. If it's your first time visiting, I would recommend going for happy hour—you'll find that the selection of food items is quite wide and tastes great. For a price perspective during dinner time: for two people, including two appetizers, one pizza, and two drinks each, the total comes to around $100.“

“Salt Creek Grille is my go-to spot for a delicious lunch! Their menu is always packed with tasty options, and I love celebrating after an event at the Hyatt here. The atmosphere is fantastic, and the food never disappoints. Highly recommend for a great meal and a wonderful dining experience!“

“Max is the man!! Ty for the great service!!“

“Our waiter ( mario) best person I know. Service was beyond amazing, would recommend to all! Thank you Mr.’Mario for the best service ever!“

“Fantastic food and friendly service! chicken is juicy and tender and the pink sauce...OMG. The jalapeño poppers are a MUST!“

“Really chill spot. They have a bunch of board games and books for patrons. The seating and atmosphere is really comfortable and inviting. It was pretty quiet when we went on a Wednesday night, but it was still a great place to hang out with friends.
I had it w/o alcohol, but the How the West Was Won was really good.

Parking: We arrived during a low-traffic time, and the restaurant nextdoor was closed, so there was plenty of space in the back-door parking; but it's a small lot, so it might be a bit difficult during busier times.“

“They have the best KJ in town!“

“Karaoke is Baller. Vegan Food Options. Great Staff.“

“Alright, burger aficionados, I've just experienced burger nirvana, and it's called Hi-Ho Burger in Encino. Forget everything you thought you knew about patties and buns, because Hi-Ho is rewriting the burger rulebook.

Let's start with the meat. They use 100% grass-fed Wagyu beef, and you can taste the difference. It's rich, juicy, and melts in your mouth like butter.

This isn't your average ground beef; this is a culinary masterpiece between two buns. Each bite is a symphony of flavor. The best part is the meat is Halal.

They don't overload their burgers with a million toppings. They let the quality of the ingredients shine. It's a classic done to absolute perfection.
The fries? Crispy, golden, and perfectly salted. They're the ideal companion to the burger, and you'll find yourself fighting for the last one. The fries are served in a freaking awesome brown paper bag with holes in the shape of H. A very artistic touch. Picture is included below.

But it's not just the food that makes Hi-Ho so special. It's the atmosphere. It's clean, and inviting. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, clearly passionate about their burgers. And there is a feeling of a place that cares about quality.

This isn't just a burger joint; it's an experience. It's a reminder of what a truly great burger should taste like. It's a testament to the power of simple ingredients done exceptionally well.
If you're looking for the best burger in Encino, scratch that, the best burger period, head to Hi-Ho Burger. You won't be disappointed. In fact, you'll probably be planning your next visit before you've even finished your first bite. Prepare to have your burger expectations shattered and your taste buds forever grateful. Hi-Ho Burger, you've earned a permanent spot in my burger-loving heart!

Dietary restrictions: Meat is Halal. Awesome.

Parking: First 90 mins is free.“

“Great food! I am vegan but my family is not, we all enjoyed the food here. Clean restaurant & clean eating without any compromise on taste, delish!! Love the menu variety and pastries. Highly recommend, my only complaint is that I can't try more food since I don't live nearby! “

“Found this gem on our way to Ventura. Very very good! Fresh and great selection. Yummmm“

“Friendly bartenders & awesome food! 🍔“
