22 Best American Restaurants in Manhattan Beach

“One of our favorite spots in Manhattan Beach! Pasta and pizza are always delicious, the cocktails are amazing, and the service is fantastic. We love that you don’t always need a reservation, so it’s easy to stop by anytime. Perfect for a relaxed date night!“

“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.“

“Absolutely wonderful evening. The food was over the top atmosphere was amazing and service perfect. We were celebrating our 44th anniversary with our kids and grandkids... it was Perfect. I would highly recommend it you will not be disappointed“

“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.“

“The food and drinks were great and the server was kind. The atmosphere is always on point and provided a Birthday sundae for my husband which was appreciated. Unfortunately the hostess was rude and made the meal extremely awkward for our whole party. Not our usual pleasant Brewco experience, unfortunately. I would hesitate to bring guests here going forward.“

“This review is written from the perspective of someone who absolutely loves waiting 28 minutes for food—even when there are only two other customers in the entire place. If you're a fan of burgers and fries so salty they could be used for preserving meat, you’re in for a treat. Got bacon on your burger? Don’t worry—they’ll still pile on the salt, because who needs balance? And if you prefer your fries to taste like they're being dry-cured rather than cooked, congratulations—you’ve found your spot.

I actually don't like any of the above qualities in a restaurant. I have just forbidden myself to do any one star reviews because it is bad for business.“

“Evelyn was absolutely amazing!! The menu was just ok, it didn't offer a lot of variety but the food itself was pretty good. The service was next level!! She was attentive, checked in often and went above and beyond. My husband and I celebrated our 16-year anniversary and she even surprised us with a delicious dessert. Thank you!“

“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!“

“This food was delicious and worth every dollar. I got the Crab Melt sandwich with fries and I wish I had been to this place sooner. 10 out of 10. Sevice was great and the atmosphere was great. We were seated immediately. Everyone enjoyed their food. You have to try it!“

“I think they serve the best hamburger I’ve ever had in my life! I drive down from LA once a month because I crave it so much.“

“Overall a nice stay: friendly staff, nice updated facilities, free ♿️ valet👌-3 to 4 blocks from beach. Very expensive at $500 per night, used the 2 $10 free tickets at bar for 2 drinks and still owed $8.36. This was the host hotel and stayed 2 nights Fri/Sat July 22-23, 2022, with hamburger & soup in room, total $1100. T.“

“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! ✨💖🥂“

“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!“

“Cafe Wild was a great find! Delicious food, generous portions and a fun and relaxed atmosphere. I will definitely be back!“

“Great spot to have a quick bite, next to the mall. The staff is friendly and very accommodating. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The food is good, the price is right. Lots of parking in the parking garage. The restroom facilities are clean, and the staff is always keeping the tables clean.“

“Good prices, great food and fantastic staff.“

“Food excellent. Service outstanding. Ambience, beautiful. We sat at the fire pit table and started with the seafood platter that was amazingly fresh. The oysters were pre-dressed and needed nothing else. The tuna crudo was one of the best I’ve ever had. The lobster roll was packed!“

“Last night my family: son, daughter-in-law, two teenage grandchildren, my wife and myself, had an outstanding dinner. Son and daughter-in-law are vegan, and the teen grandchildren are, let us say, picky eaters while my wife and I are more or less foodies. Every dish and drink order was raved about, ranging from the shared 7 cheese Mac & mushroom starter and the avacado hummus with just cooked pita bread, the blueberry lemonade the kids enjoyed, the farmers bowl my son had and the pasta dish my daughter-in-law enjoyed to my wife's simple fish and chips and my salmon. The desserts were also a hit from a burnt brown sugar cinnimon confection to a chocolate budino to a wonderful version of an apple turnover. Everything was a hit, which with this diverse group of eaters is amazing.“

“During my stay at the Belamar Hotel, I had a wonderful experience at the restaurant on the second floor. Before I checked in, I needed a place to work remotely, and the staff went above and beyond to help me connect to the Wi-Fi. They were incredibly attentive, making sure my coffee cup was always full. I ordered waffles and eggs—both were delicious, though I only managed to snap a photo of the waffles! A unique touch was the check, which is presented inside a book where guests are encouraged to leave a note. Overall, it’s a charming spot for both work and a great meal.“
