50 Best American Restaurants near La Puente

“When we told drive-through order-taker Aaliyah this was our first ever In-N-Out visit she went out of her way to carefully explain the menu. At the drive up window Xley had already been alerted to our newby status and was over-the-top helpful, explaining we were lucky that Elaine (the best grill cook) was making our order and thanking us for choosing their store for our first visit. As we were eating in their picnic area, Aaliyah came by to make sure we were happy with our food (we were!) and to thank us for our business. Absolutely 5 stars!“

“Friendly staff, delicious food ❗️❗️“

“The service was very, they have lots of work, l personally wish that God blesses the hard working people thankyou for your services!!“

“Casa Jimenez is a great place if you've got a modest budget snd a big appetite.

They have plentiful Mexican cuisine plates that all bring big flavor and big portions; and if that isn't enough, they even have an AYCE deal!

The AYCE deal is a limited menu of single portion entrees that you pick 3 of, per plate. Each plate also comes with rice and refried beans with cheese and your choice of a lighter albondigas soup or a salad.

Personally, with me and mine being foodies, we all go for the AYCE for the variety.

Each plate comes out hot and plated fresh, though sometimes the entrees taste like they may have been frozen beforehand (the beef tamale in particular).

If you want something fresh, stick with the carnitas and the carnitas tacos - that's what I do!

The singular drawback for us eating here is the food comes out slow, so plan accordingly!

tl:dr - Great eats, big plates, price is reasonable, the AYCE deal is great, give it a go if you are hungry!“

“best pulled pork & barbecue chicken! it was just a bummer they ran out of ribs🙄 i will catch on next time.“

“1 be my not sin you: 2 sins not: an victory“

“This place is kind of a flagship of all the Denny’s in our area. Should be held up as the example for all others! The food was good and plentiful. Our server Caesar was a wonderful host. He kept checking up on us to make sure that we were well served and happy with our experience. It’s a pleasure to become a regular of Denny’s once again with this kind of treatment!“

“Breakfast burritos were amazing!“

“Wonderful service 👏 Angel helped us. His great customer service and attitude was refreshing. Cheeseburger so delicious! Fries brought me back to the past. Just wish fries came with meal instead of add on. My husband had the greek salad with salmon. He was very happy. This place even has a selection of craft beers 🍻. Can't wait to come back and try the chicken sandwich. I HAVE to come for fries!“

“Check out the menu before you go, it is very limited and not to everyone’s tastes. Delicious food, great service, and easy reservations. Attended a business dinner early in the evening which made it easy to hear everyone. By 6 pm it was crowded and loud. A great variety of alcohol and non-alcohol drinks. Good happy hour specials.“

“Arcadia location... we went for the Monday pizza deal, it was delicious, Marco provided great professional service, would definitely recommend!“

“Customer service is paramount not only for me, but specially when I am around family. Our server Schaeffer is not only superv to Customer Service but has great personality that makes me feel truly welcome!“

“Monique is absolutely amazing! She made sure we were taken care of the entire time we were here. She was incredibly attentive and thoughtful, always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. What stood out the most was how kind and patient she was with my 6-year-old — she truly went above and beyond to make our experience special. Thank you, Monique, for making our visit so wonderful!

“The food is delicious and generous portions!“

“My wife and I, plus my daughter Jennifer and granddaughter Breanna were very much please with our dinner last night. Michael our server came out and created us, by saying it was so nice to see you here again. Michael remember our drink order and promtly brought it out to us. The job Michael did from start to finish was amazing. From getting our order out on time and the desert was perfect for my granddaughter Breanna and my wife's as well. Always asking if everything came out right and if we needed anything else. What a perfect evening and servers like Michael make us want to eat here often. Thanks again to you Michael for giving us a beautiful evening.“

“My daughter and I ate there yesterday for the first time! The chicken was very tender and tasty… I recommend the chicken club sandwich. My daughter got the Cobb salad and the portion was huge! Their specialty lemonades are really good too! I tried the strawberry and basil! Yum!“

“Had a great breakfast Chicken fried steak and eggs,huge portion of hash browns ,toast We also had a Our server he was great Huge portions We will be back“

“Hello This is a good news/bad news review. We frequent Only Place quite often. We probably average about 3 times a month. But it's not unusual to go a couple times in a week. Your food and serving staff are excellent. Among our favorites are Whitney, Bronwyn, Hanna, Jose to name a few. Whitney is especially great! Now the bad news. We were in last Friday and were shocked with the unexpected bright lighting. It was uncomfortably bright. Nobody needs that much light!! And considering the average age of your customers it's even more important to keep the lighting flattering. We had to move from our booth because it was so disconcerting. Please please please change the bulbs in the overhead lights. If you have to squint to see the bulb it's TOO bright. We loved the family atmosphere of Only Place. The new lighting level ruins the atmosphere. We're begging you please return to the previous pleasing level. Thank you“

“I Love the food. But I hate it. When my foods delayed i ordered a colossus burger, which is a pastrami hamburger. That's what the older taker told me it was. Then they made the food and they only gave me a hamburger. I only paid for a hamburger. As I sat there and waited about 8 minutes for them to make the food.They expected me to wait an additional eight minutes and pay them a 2 75 3 75. For their miss up and wait, you think I wanted to wait my food was hot in my hand what's wrong with the order taker? He spoke perfectly good English. I know he understood me.I also speak Spanish, so there's no reason for him to miss up my order.I was disappointed and it wasn't a nice day to be disappointed“

“Service was excellent, anntentive motivational. I'll invest in this turn if possible. Thank y. And God bless“

“THIS PLACE IS INCREDIBLE! Run don’t walk to eat here. It’s in a unique area that looks like a business district but the food is amazing! The burger and the French fries were so good and crispy! We also loved the Wild Caught Salmon! I will be coming back for the Breakfast Burrito. The best part is you can tell the owner cares to only find high quality ingredients. This place is a hidden gem and excited I discovered it!“

“We had good time and enjoyed our 3 courses lunch with entrée & dessert wines included. Service was attentive and friendly. foods were tasty, well plating and reasonable prices. We have another reservation for dinner this coming Friday.“

“It was wonderful and the food was delicious. The prices are very affordable. I will be coming back!“

“Today at West Covina we ate Dinner. Flank Steak was cooked perfect Med Rare & im picky. The Gravy for Mashed potatoes was amazing. Tge Non Alcohol Cucumber Lemon Spritzer was Soooo good. Husband ate Ribs, Delicious. Johnathan was my Server & went above & beyond for us. & i love that. Great Job Team. Thank you Chris.“

“Wonderful food and great service! Thank you for having dine-in also! I hope more restaurants will be bold and open with dine-in!“

“Their Corned Beef sandwich and their Pastrami Sandwich...both DELICIOUS!!!!!“

“Stopped by this establishment because my normal breakfast spot was full to the gillz one particular morning. This establishment was pretty darn close to being full and seated us promptly. I was pleasantly surprised by the food which was spot on. I opted for the chicken and waffle which was hearty and sumptuous. While I still consider my go to breakfast spot to be Georgia's bun n burger up the road, I believe I'll keep this diner as a formidable reserve in my back pocket.“

“Bingo and the Los Angeles Dodgers!“

“Old Time diner feel. Breakfast lunch place..Very friendly people...food is pretty good.went in for lunch..they close early I had a sandwich and my friend had the huevos rancheros...he said it was just ok...mine was good. Definitely be back for breakfast“

“It had been nearly 15 years since my last visit. I must say the decor is exactly as I remembered. Took 3 minutes to be seated then we were greeted by the most friendly and attentive waiter I’ve EVER had at any restaurant . I’m a huge lover of the cabbage salad so I gorged on a big bowl before dinner. I ordered a medium rare fillet and potato and it was cooked to perfection. I so wish I lived nearby as I would pay it a regular visit. I’m so glad the Clearmans Northwoods inn has not been changed.“

“Food is so good ! Service is awesome !“

“Had such an amazing experience last nigh ! The food so fresh and delicious prepared to perfection. Everyone was friendly and attentive even the chefs are super cool ! And definitely save room for that cheesecake yummmy ! I'll definitely be back. Thank you all at Colette's 😋😋👌🏼“

“First time there… the food was excellent and the service was great! Friendly and very helpful. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Denny's is always a go to diner for me. Especially this location. I believe David has always been my server here, too. He always treated me and my party with such respect. Always being attentive to our needs and the small witty banter we share is always something I look forward to. Overall, a wonderfully peacefully location to dine at. Especially during the evening.

David the goat 😛😛“

“Some unique flavors and some familiar. Customer service at the bar is unparalleled, like the all-day happy hour pricing. I’m very happy when I come to this place, regardless of what I order.“

“Nice atmosphere, and good service . Food was okay . Not sure what else to write in order for this to post 🤷🏻‍♀️“

“great place to watch sports and get good food and drinks“

“Honest opinion Everything was so good! We did have to wait about 10 minutes for the server to take are order, but she was so nice! It was so busy!! But delicious! Honest a little pricey! But what ya going to do? It's 2026! I recommend coming out to Denny's if you like a tasty meal and people watching! It was nice! Thank you and God bless 🙏“

“Good food, great service, spectacular atmosphere - Applebee’s is good in the neighborhood! 😆 They’re currently running a “2 for $25” special: choose 1 appetizer and 2 entrées for only $25. It’s a good deal especially considering the entrées offered. The service is consistently top notch: Sophie has waited on us several times; she’s friendly and efficient and provides great recommendations. Thanks Applebee’s for another fun time!“

“A rare visit for dinner tonight on Friday , had a special for ribs and I couldn’t resist! Carlos and Caitlyn were great. Had a moment to share with Carlos the years I lived in Jalisco Mexico and what can I say Caitlyn has been great as always. She has been a great server since 2019, I hope she never changes.“

“I have been going to 6740 for years. They have beer and wine. They have TV's for sporting events. The food was delicious. I especially enjoyed their wings, but recently we had a less enjoyable food experience. The wings were served cold and the grilled cheese burger was very plain. Prior to that, this was one of my favorite places for wings. I hope it improves if we come back. Maybe it was just a busy night. I don't know.“

“I got the Mongolian beef, extra spicy. It was tasty, but 85% rice, and was actually a little sweet not spicy. They merely threw more whole red chili's but nobody actually eats whole Chinese red chili's.

My friend got the swordfish, and opted out of the rice and upgraded to double string beans, didn't look like they doubled it.She said there's no hint of flavor on the beans, like they were simply boiled. She did like the caper sauce on the fish but had to ask for more.

Both dishes were lunch sized portions with dinner pricing, but there's live music (Friday 7pm), so just realize that it's less of a restaurant than a fine whiskey bar with food.“

“Been eating here for many years, but I'm moiling farther away. I miss their salid bar. The staff is always friendly and the food is great“

“Took the thanksgiving turkey meal to go and overall it was a pretty good platter set up. The turkey was moist and the gravy was flavorful. The cornbread was a bit on the drier side and then the vegetables were pretty bland, but the sauce helped.“

“Very good food, and great cocktails. Wait staff was friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed our experience.“

“They have a patio area to hold and event. Check them out it's amazing here.“

“Our food was exceptionally delicious! Wonderful flavors and delicious cucumber mint agua fresca too! Also fun, cozy atmosphere inside too. You can tell when you’re there it’s a very popular eatery, and for good reason! I’ve been there twice in as many weeks and I can’t wait to go again! 😁“
