50 Best American Restaurants near Lomita

“Ever drive by a place over the years and think to yourself..” got to try that place someday” .. well finally today was the day and wow I’ve been missing out. Classic old school diner, really friendly & long tenured staff, reasonably priced, all the breakfast classics and more served FAST and delicious . It took many years but I’ll be back soon!“

The staff is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive, making every visit enjoyable. Great food, excellent service, and a wonderful atmosphere—I highly recommend it!“

“Surprisingly short wait time for Labor Day (15-20min) it was hot and humid outside would’ve been nice to come into a more cooler environment but restaurant was clean host was welcoming as well as our waiter Meghan she was nice the only thing was after we got our food we still needed couple of side things like drink refills, some ranch for our chicken strips and steak sauce but our waiter never came back by to check on us for a while so we had to flag down a different waiter. That’s the only reason why we didn’t give 5 stars but also, parking is kinda difficult not enough spaces in parking lot.Other than that the food was very good we had the Benedict’s Shortribs and it was delicious! The shortrib meat was tender and had flavor and the sauce on top was so good! The corncakes on bottom really made the whole dish my absolute favorite! Next, we tried the Strawberry Sunrise pancakes (buttermilk pancakes topped with whip cream and butter) The chicken strips with fries were cooked perfectly. Juicy on inside crunchy on the outside.we had the Pineapple upside down pancakes! (Buttermilk pancakes stuffed with sweet pineapple) I had the 2 stack and they were delicious and very satisfying I would order that again for sure. We also had the Steak and eggs with home potatoes and it too was very good. Will be coming back regularly There were 4 adults and one teen in our party and our bill came out just a little over $150 with tip around $175“

“Warm, hands on and personalized service. A Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant…Food Made from Scratch, fresh, unique, different, and affordable. Highly recommended! The red onion focaccia bread with herb and Parmesan butter, added Burrata - best- seller, a must. The 3 day brined smoked fried chicken-different taste, with soy and Chiles, a must!!!The Peruvian pork belly with sweet potato , Criolla and crispy quinoa , love it! And the Grilled NY steak with green garlic chimichurri, chorizo aioli and pommes pont neuf, thick cut fries…my son prefers over the fried chicken.“

“Food is great and staff is so friendly and helpful. It’s right on the beach, perfect for enjoying the outside.“

“What a fantastic dining experience! We were so well taken care of, and the food was amazeballs! Definitely top of my list as my new favorite seafood restaurant. Elijah, the bartender was awesome and Katie went out of the way to make sure we had a lovely time. What an evening… I highly recommend this place.“

“This place is always busy. We find seating there at the counter and we do not need to wait for 20 minutes. We love the bean soup? And the apple pie was great.“

“Everything great“

“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.“

“Best Burgers Ever!! Great Bartenders too!“

“Jennifer was a wonderful server, she's always checking up on us and never fails to make us laugh! She's great at attending us and makes sure we have what we need, perfect server!“

“Muy buen trabajador los a tendió muy bien“

“Went to have dinner with the family at the Wilmington location. The waitress Natalia was very nice and helpful. The menus has many options of food. Which is good and not so pricey. Keep up the good work!.“

“Had the best tortilla soup ever! And Chef Steven Lutz circulating through the restaurant to say hi and assure everyone having great food and service was a treat. Don’t miss the baked goods like banana cream pie. Amazing! Very pleased and will be back again!“

“Delicious, a wonderful experience and loved the waitress!“

“The fish bar is in a great location the bartender Rose makes amazing drinks she friendly & attentive. She knows you by name. The food was great atmosphere is relaxed all the staff treats you like family. Highly recommend!“

“Flavors that never get old. Tasty on every bite!“

“Great food and friendly, cheerful service. Always a boost to eat here…“

“Very underwhelming experience and not worth the hype. The food was mediocre at best. We ordered the Japanese pizza, which came burnt on the bottom, with very little cheese and unappealing arugula (even when we requested extra parmesan, they brought a minuscule portion). The warm olives were unpleasantly bitter, and the spaghetti was completely average. To make matters worse, the venue was overwhelmingly loud, and the crowded middle tables leave zero privacy, making it feel like everyone is seated together. Definitely not returning“

“Good quality food. Healthy options. Great service. My favorite is the braised beef and mushroom with mashed potatoes. The mango tart is amazing.“

“Wonderful dinner! Wonderful night! It's always a great vibe at Fox and Farrow-fun bar and cozy booths. Great mixed drinks and terrific wine! And the food was delicious start to finish- from the Brussel sprouts to the sliders to the cod- amazing all around! And the service was super! Thank you for a special night.“

“Food was good but customer service not so great. Our waitress Raquel needs to brush up on her people skills, smile a little more and not have such an attitude. I was afraid to ask her for more ice tea. The food was good, the ambiance great and I’d recommend but avoid this waitress.“

“It was such a lovely venture out for my Mom’s birthday, on Friday. Alex and Dominique (management) are quite lovely, and helped make our dining experience all the more, a joy! Love the new additions to the menu, particularly the Mini Steak French Dips. The Chicken Parmesan was excellent with the twist of those ‘pepper-like sweet’ tomatoes. If there is ever something you want to bring back to the menu I would highly suggest the sliders, they were missed for sure lol! Looking forward to dining again here, soon. Cheers! ✨💖🥂“

“Brewco Social absolutely nailed it! We came here with two families, 8 of us total, before heading down to the beach, and from the moment we walked in, we felt completely welcomed. The location is unbeatable literally steps from the Manhattan Beach boardwalk, so it’s the perfect place to grab a great meal before hitting the sand.

The service was fantastic. The two girls taking our orders were smiling, friendly, and patient, while the guys were constantly moving around making sure every table was taken care of. It was one of those places where you could tell the entire team was working together like a well oiled machine.

And the bartender deserves a shout-out because he absolutely knew what he was doing! We started with a triple, went to a double, and finished with a single and every drink was on point. 😂

Now the food… WOW. My smash burger was absolutely incredible. Juicy, flavorful, perfectly cooked. Honestly one of the juiciest smash burgers I’ve had. The kids loved their meals, and the wives were very happy with their salads, so somehow everyone at the table left happy.

The atmosphere was another huge plus. The whole place is beautiful and has that upscale, polished feeling you’d expect from a high-end restaurant in Beverly Hills, but without feeling stuffy or pretentious. It has a really great Manhattan Beach vibe.

5 stars all day. Great location, great food, great drinks, great service, and a beautiful atmosphere. You guys are doing it right, keep up the good work! We’ll definitely be back.“

“The Kettle is my go-to when friends or family arrive on a red-eye or when I just want a relaxing breakfast w/o dishes. Consistent food, comfortable booths, no nonsense, and exactly the kind of place that won’t irritate you. “Locally world famous” sounds ambitious, but in this case, yup.“

“Love ❤️ ito recommend Hof’s hut to friends thank you“

“This my first time dining at The Melt. The staff were amazing. As we pondered over what we wanted to order, a staff member came and offered us free cookies. Another staff member, Andrew was patient with taking our orders and had the most contagious smile. I ordered the crispy chicken and garlic parm fries. The fries were delicious! Would come again and try grilled chicken next time :)“

“Everything we ordered was fantastic.“

“😀My first time at Stonefire everything was fantastic and Nick that works there was great and helpful.“

“As always, the food was amazing. Every dish was good. Highly recommend the Crostini, Parker house rolls, and octopus for appetizers. Salmon was cooked perfectly, the scallops and pesto pasta light and bright, the bolognese pasta tasty and not to heavy, and the sea bass was melt in your mouth. My all time favorite is the chili and lime avocado salad. Service not only from our server, but all the other workers, including the hostess that seated us were all incredible,“

“My 3rd time back and again an awesome breakfast. Delicious and will be back again soon!!!“

“Decadence is the place to come for great cocktails and food. They have excellent service and provide amazing music on the weekends. I brought my friends to decadence and had a great time! Did I mention the amazing ambiance! Great for a night out in Hermosa beach! Highly recommend!“

“Great food and service (Amanda did a great job), I love their double r 20 oz cowboy’s rib eye and I like the ambiance it is very cozy.“
