14 Best American Restaurants in Malibu

“My first time here. I ordered the sausage burrito bowl with the tortilla on the side. I should have taken a picture. Anyways it was so delicious! Crispy potatoes and eggs scrambled perfect. I loved the sausage too😋 I recommend this for a filing delicious meal.“

“I had a wonderful stay at Malibu Beach Inn! The hotel facilities were truly exceptional. The location right on the beach is absolutely stunning, and the views from the rooms are breathtaking. The rooms themselves are elegantly decorated and extremely comfortable, making it a perfect place to relax and unwind. The staff at the hotel were incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that every aspect of my stay was enjoyable. One of the highlights of the stay was meeting Realda. She was the most gracious host and her attention to detail was incredible. She kindly upgraded our room as it was my sisters birthday, we had a cake in the room along with a sweet birthday card. She packed up a bag of towels and freshly baked cookies we could enjoy on the beach. She was amazing! Malibu Beach Inn exceeded my expectations in every way, providing a luxurious and unforgettable beachfront experience. I can't wait to return and make more cherished memories at this exceptional hotel.“

“We liked it so much we had to go two days in a row. Service was good especially the bar staff on the patio. First day, hubby had the burger…amazing and I had the Tortilla salad…wow!! The white iced tea was refreshing. The second day we shared the crab cakes and the Lobster sliders and those can’t be beat!! The mimosas were delicious because they fresh squeeze the orange juice every morning. If we lived closer this would be a spot we would frequent! It is a must if you are at the Seaport Village in San Diego!!“

“I did the takeout but I had to have the Pinot pasta with sausage but the chicken dinner which I wish I could remember the name of that special someone ordered? Was one of the best meals I’ve ever seen in my life and ever eaten… I had to have a bite of hers lol! The penne pasta with sausage was beyond yum!“

“I was very impressed by the friendliness and service with Ollo for a recent catering delivery. I called around to several places and with very slow response times and abruptness directing me back to the website for Uber delivery. The host and manager Spencer followed up on the order and went out of the way to make sure it was a great experience for the group and the stressed out person (me:) trying to coordinate for the group. Highly recommend!!“

“All the above! Love the ol Duke's BU!!“

“Everything about it is great! Great atmosphere, the wine was amazing, the views, and we learned something new at every stop we made! Definitely going back“

“Love Taverna Tony! Great food and location. ❤️“

“The food is really good and the staff are very nice!“

“Good food and ambience you will enjoy!“

“I brought an East Coast client here for dinner because there’s truly nothing like a December California sunset — and The Sunset Restaurant delivered perfectly. The dining room glows at golden hour, with huge open windows that bring the ocean right into your table. It’s such a classic Malibu experience — warm, relaxed, and never overcrowded. Parking was surprisingly easy too, which is rare for a beachfront spot. Our server was fantastic: friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The food was excellent, beautifully presented, and timed perfectly so we could enjoy the sunset without feeling rushed. If you’re looking for a true “Malibu evening” — great food, ocean views, and that effortless coastal vibe — this is the place. Always a solid choice for locals and visitors alike.“

“I had a great experience at Irv’s Burgers, and a big reason was the excellent service from Gabriel. From the moment I walked in, he was friendly, professional, and genuinely welcoming. He took the time to make sure everything was right with my order and made the whole experience feel personal rather than rushed.

The food was great, but outstanding customer service is what really stands out these days, and Gabriel delivered exactly that. It’s employees like him who keep customers coming back. If you’re stopping by Irv’s Burgers, you’re in good hands with Gabriel. Thanks again for the great experience!“

“Great salmon salad 🥗 the waiters were very friendly“

“Paradise Cove is always lovely. We arrive mid afternoon and were immediately seated. We chose to be inside. Benjamin took very good care of us! We had a lovely lunch. We had planned to spend some time after lunch sitting in the beach, chairs, and relaxing. But now the area is corded off, and the chairs look precariously placed. we paid our discounted parking bill and left, rather disappointed.“
