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’ve attended several SFV AACN symposiums here - great food, great service and great views!“

“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.“

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

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

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

“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!“

“My wife and I decided to check out happy hour at Finney’s Crafthouse on Rinaldi in Porter Ranch next to the 118 freeway. We agreed it was the right move for a Friday night date. We ordered a few items from the happy hour menu, including the sliders and the chicken quesadilla. The sliders were just the right size and cooked to perfection. I have no idea why sliders taste so much better than a full burger! The chicken quesadilla was also delicious cheesy, flavorful, and filled with well cooked chicken. I mean, how can you go wrong with a chicken quesadilla? Am I right? The service here is always top-notch, and the servers are really friendly. Just be aware that when they’re busy, wait times can be a bit longer, but that’s to be expected at a popular restaurant serving quality American food. I definitely recommend Finney’s Crafthouse in Porter Ranch if you’re ever in the mood for burgers, beer, or wine while watching a game this is the place for you. The ambiance, to me, feels more like a bar and restaurant where people can come for a family dinner or watch a football or baseball game on the big screens in the bar area. There is plenty of parking since it’s located in a large shopping center, but be aware that during dinner time or on Friday and Saturday nights, it can be tough to find a spot. Eventually, one opens up you just have to be patient. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone looking to enjoy some amazing food, whether from the happy hour menu or the regular menu. I wouldn’t hesitate to come back again.

Thanks, Finney’s Crafthouse!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“great quality at a good price“

“I always love stopping by On The Thirty to hangout/dine when in the area!

It's right on Ventura with a nice outdoor patio space, so it's great for a bit of people watching (or perhaps more like car watching at times)!

They're usually playing sports on the tv's inside when we go, but we usually just chill on the outdoor space.

Service has always been super friendly and good about making sure you're taken care of and giving you refills/anything else you may need.

For the food - last time I went, I got one of the salads (trying to be a little bit healthier haha)!
It was HUGE, super fresh, and packed FULL of flavor from all the delicious toppings. The perfect mix of textures with some crunchiness.
There's plenty of other menu items as well - we've had items like the burgers, brick oven pizzas, and ceviche in the past.
All are very generously portioned, packed with high quality ingredients, and super tasty/satisfying to enjoy!

Oh yeah, and if you drink...the cocktails here are tasty and STRONG!
I had one and was feeling QUITE tipsy!!

On The Thirty is one of my top picks in this part of the valley, and I highly recommend if looking for a spot to hang/dine at in the area!“

“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.“

“TLDR: good food, okay service.

I'll start with the good 😊 My husband and I have come here quite a bit throughout the years and have attended a handful of the special events they've put together. They had a rum event where they paired dishes with a variety of rum tastings. It was a great date night and nights like that will keep us coming back. I also remember a delicious to-go Valentine's box during covid that was so thoughtful and delicious. We have enjoyed tasting every dish we've been able to try.

A couple of our favorites have been the smoked trout on ciabatta and the ricotta gnudi. The smoked trout is a hearty bite but somehow light at the same time haha. It's craveable. We like it as a starter or if we're still feeling hungry after a few other dishes. The ricotta gnudi however, is sooo rich and satisfying after a few bites, making it a very decadent and shareable plate. It's probably too much for only two people but we still eat all five pieces and only feel a little guilty after. I give 5 out of 5 stars for the food here.

With that being said, we recently went to try Antonia's winning dishes from ToC. We ordered both dishes and felt like they were probably better when Antonia made them haha. The sausage didn't have a great texture and both dishes needed salt but overall, they weren't bad and I'm happy we tried them.

I think they fall a little short in customer service and possibly staffing. We have had a couple of good interactions but on the norm, it seems like they are understaffed in areas. This is the reason I'm giving 4 stars vs 5. Well, that and because we'll often book a reservation online but when we show up, we have unfortunately been seated at the worst tables. It's usually the smallest table they have and in a very noisy location. Maybe we have had bad luck. Maybe it's because we're two small people without a dog, so they think we'll be happy crammed into the smallest spot they have?

This last visit, we were lead to an indoor table that was sandwiched between two large groups. On one side, the table was about an inch away from someone's back. On the other side, there was a group of about 12 girls having a bachelorette party and scream laughing. We just knew it would be hard to have a conversation there, so we asked about seating outside. They accommodated us by seating us at maybe the next worst table haha. It was just outside the front door but we knew it would be 100% better than where we were. We appreciate them moving us 🙏

I guess the point to that story is, be vocal on where you want to sit. Also, your chances of getting a good table seems to increase if you bring your dog haha, which is unfortunate.

Oh! And as far as parking goes, it's a little hard to find a spot but they offer valet. The area around the restaurant is super cute if you want to walk around a bit before or after your meal. I recommend checking out Color Me Mine just down the street for a nice date night.“

“Terrible place duchie not mad“

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

“Great tasting food! Highly recommended.“

“the salads are delicious. the food is very good“

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

“Great atmosphere and the food was great!“

“I ordered the Santa Maria BBQ sandwich, and it was delicious. The bread was incredibly fresh. I even got to see them making it right there. Anissa (I hope I am spelling that right) took my order and truly impressed me with her efficiency. She handled everything from running the register to prepping food and organizing to go orders. Despite the busy crowd, she was friendly, thorough, and quick. The restaurant was clean and well organized and the employes worked seamlessly as a team. Great Food, great service.“

“Great service @ amazing food!“

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

“The bar at the Valley Inn is perhaps one of the best kept secrets in LA. Yes, it’s tiny but get there early, secure your seat and you’re in for a ride of the greatest cocktails served up by a ladies and gentlemen’s gentleman - the maker with the shaker, Bill. Seriously, make a friend of this guy and then introduce him and the bar to your favorite people - only your favorite people! The food in the restaurant is great but a tad expensive but the bar will become your new happy place. Bravo“

“I really enjoy urbane Cafe for the fact that they have plenty of options for a family like mine where there's meat eaters and plant-based preferences. I would also like to recognize one of the employees Nicole who went above and beyond for us! Great service is a lost art and Nicole really made our day.“

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

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

“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!!!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Stopped by to try out your beers. Absolutely the best beers I’ve had in a while. Your Oatmeal Cookie Brown Ale knocked my socks off and if it wasn’t for me needing to drive home I would have stayed all day long. By the way that barrel aged version is heaven in a glass. Keep up the world class brewing.“

“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! 🍔 🍟“

“the food is great but I think the people make the place!!!!“

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

“They have the best KJ in town!“

“Ryan gave my party of five the best menu overview and food recommendations we’ve ever experienced. We arrived just as happy hour was starting and were pleasantly surprised to find that the happy hour portions were just as generous as the regular appetizers. Everything we tried was excellent, and the coconut shrimp was hands-down the best I’ve ever had.

Our waitress, Brook, was fantastic—so attentive and friendly. Honestly, every member of the staff was welcoming and accommodating, which made the entire experience even better.

We will definitely be back. Thank you to everyone at Finney’s Crafthouse for such a wonderful dining experience!“

“Beautiful setting, fantastic service, and food was incredible! Highly recommend.“

“Friendly bartenders & awesome food! 🍔“

“We did not try the food, but the place looked clean and I would eat here. The bartender was fun and attentive. The DJ was having a great time and spinning a great mix of 80's, 90's and general good tunes. The clientele were nice and we had several conversations with guests. We will come back.“

“I absolutely recommend having some drinks and food at the bar. Great people and fast service. My drinks are always delicious and made just right. The bartenders always make excellent recommendations. Robert and Cameron were super helpful tonight!“

“We got quite a few drinks and each one tastes amazzzzzingggg! I absolutely loved the environment and everything this place stands for! I talked to the manager for a bit about the bar and there was so much love and appreciation behind every word showed me the passion being poured into the craft! Absolutely love this place!“

“our food was excellent as was the relaxed atmosphere“
