New American Restaurants near Lakewood, CA

“According to their website, the hours of closing during the week is at 9pm, went there on Wednesday and it was 8:30 PM and the place was already closed. The staff were there, but everything was put away and I understand that probably it was a slow day yet still you are not honoring your hours of business.“

“We had a 40th college reunion there. The ambience was perfect, food was great and the staff were wonderful! Everyone had a great time!“

“We had a great dining experience at Urban Plates in Long Beach. Mariana explained the menu choices in a very unrushed manner, and we decided on the steak. I ordered the Chimichurri grass-fed steak with balsamic brussel sprouts and herb-roasted potatoes. All of it was delicious ( and healthy too!). The deserts were absolutely killer too. We will definitely eat here again next time we're in Long Beach.“

“Everything very tasty, especially Noble Club“

“Literally one of the best cheeseburgers I’ve ever had. They delivered 25 min after my order was placed. Fries were still crispy!!! Very delicious.“

“Claire’s at the Museum is aesthetically pleasing. The view is gorgeous, and the food is delicious! Spent my birthday here and it did not disappoint!! ❤️“

“Just wanted to mention the experience I had with the pancake and chicken dish, the chicken was way over cooked so much so that it was very tough. Unfortunately the pancake recipe has changed and it was thick and doughy!. Not like the ones I had a few years ago.“

“The best shrimp n grits I've ever had.“

“Always satisfied with the freshest ingredients ‼️❤️“

“We always like to have one meal here when we stay in Long Beach before I cruise. We sit at the bar, which requires no wait time unless you come late. We come for happy hour. There is a great selection of beer which my husband likes. Everything we ever ordered to eat has been very good. The service has been excellent at the bar. We’ve never eaten at a regular table.“

“To John Hansen, My wife and I would like to thank you for such a lovely evening. Chez Bacchus represents the “True Expression of a Dining Experience”. Starting with the welcoming staff at the entrance. John, your hospitality is the beginning of the joyful experience. The restaurant is so elegant. We enjoyed the vaulted ceilings with wood beams. We enjoyed the large window at the kitchen area so you can see the Chefs at work. We got to sit next to the impressive wine rack display. The restaurant’s ambiance wouldn’t be complete without the soft background music. Our waiter, Issac, was a delight. He provided us with his expertise in choosing our wines, appetizers, entrees, and desserts. It was a pleasure to meet to give special thanks to the Chef, Danny Le and Su Chef, Donald. Their expertise is why we had an amazing and delicious dinner.“

“Good service good food 🥘!“

“Nick’s food and service doesn’t disappoint! Menu options are great, and they’ll take a classic comfort dish such as a meat loaf to a gourmet degree. Service is impecable too. Worth every dollar you spend here in every aspect! They have my respect and heart! ♥️“

“Myself,& two dear friends,(ex coworkers), had lunch there today. Not only was the food absolutely SCRUMPTIOUS! Everything we had was very appealing to the eyes 👀. We each hsd the opportunity to taste three different dishes.Wet Burrito, Avo Burger,& fries, & I think it was the loco moco bowl. Plus Beignets. We are definitely returning soon to enjoy more delicious & delightful dishes!“

“got the bacon onion jam smashburger, hot honey sweet potato, and cowboy hotdog and all were a big hit.

been here multiple times but this time the food, and service were so good that it warranted a 5 star review.

staff are always nice, place always clean, cup always full of good beer lol.“

“I have to admit, I wasn’t expecting the food to be this exceptional. And that is because sometimes chain establishments are not great. However, Camille suggested a couple of dishes for us and they did not disappoint and in fact I would’ve licked the plates if it was publicly appropriate. I highly recommend the biscuits and gravy and short rib hash!!!!! Omg so delicious!! I can’t wait to come back for more!!!“

“This is such a chill, relaxing spot with a beautiful water view! We had just left a super-packed place in Seal Beach with a 30-minute wait, so we were pleasantly surprised to find this place much less crowded and got seated right away. Good beer, great customer service, and a laid-back atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out!“

“So far I have tried the spicy Korean fried chicken bowl, pork belly bowl and japchae, all of delicious. Always fresh. My toddler only likes japchae from an AYCE kbbq in Garden Grove, but she has approved of yours. 10/10 every time. I am always greeted with a smile. I will keep coming back.“

“Good food and service……..“

“The food and prices were great but the service was exceptional. I do not remember their names but two women both with red hair were very attentive. The bar was absolute packed but they frequently checked in on us and were very accommodating. Would love to come here again.“

“Thank you staff, this was our first time here. Hostess friendly, bar staff she was also friendly and made the best mock cocktails. Our server very professional and kind. The food was great. BBQ was so juicy, tender fall off the bone. Even the chicken fell off the bone. Great BBQ sauce nothing was over powering just great flavor. Thank you to the cooks who we dont see for your BBQ skills. 🫡😋“

“Delicious breakfasts, oh my!“

“I stopped by Lazy Dog on the second day of my LA business trip while I was in between checking out of my hotel and waiting for our Airbnb to be ready. It ended up being a really nice place to relax and enjoy a good meal.

I tried the Bacon Candy, which was probably the most memorable item. The bacon was sweet, slightly spicy, and nicely caramelized from the brown sugar. I had never really had bacon served this way before, so I thought it was very creative and surprisingly addictive.

I also ordered the Chuckwagon Flat Iron Steak, and it was excellent. The steak was flavorful and nicely grilled, and the smoked chili butter and crispy onion straws made it even better.

There’s also a Lazy Dog near where I live, so this wasn’t my first time dining with them. What impressed me was how consistent the quality was. Even while traveling, the food and overall experience were just as good as what I’m used to back home.

Lazy Dog has always been very consistent for me, and this visit was another good example of that. Comfortable atmosphere, good service, and really solid food. I would definitely come back again.“

“The staff are wonderful and make you feel so at home!!!“

“Restaurant with good service and a relaxing atmosphere. However definitely cozy as tables are all close together and was a bit loud when it was packed on a weekend night. Also it was warm on a warm day as their AC was not working optimally.

Enjoyed the seafood/uni risotto, mushroom salad, uni spaghetti. The chicken karaage was ok. The curry is on the side. Spicy mussels were very seasoned.
Panna Cotta had a creamy, semi- bouncy texture. The bread pudding was more pudding like with a very sweet sauce on it. Desserts definitely can be shared.“

“Always have a great meal at Simmzy’s. I had cauliflower tacos and they were excellent (and I’m not a vegetarian). Sweet potato fries were great. I’m the past I’ve had the chicken tortilla soup- it’s one of the best! Pet and child friendly.“

“AMAZING! We will be back! The employees were so wonderful and kind to myself and my family, and the food was delicious! Huge portions as well! We will be back!“

“Nicest spot on 4th street, to have great food with friends, excellent wine & drinks and maybe a coffee or two to start the day! Can’t wait for the tapas menu to start 😊❤️“

“Tastes good, come back next time“
