19 Best American Restaurants in Manhattan Beach

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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! ✨💖🥂“

“Love & Salt is an excellent dinner spot for something a bit more upscale.

They have a pretty substantial menu, with a lot of great options. They even have some really delicious mocktails.

Make sure not to miss the meatballs for an appetizer. They were probably the best dish of the night. That said, you can't really go wrong with anything you order.

I only really had two very minor complaints. Their pasta was a little more al dente than I tend to go for, but that didn't ruin the dishes by any means. The other thing was that the mocktails didn't come with anything to stir them with. Even a straw would have been helpful.

All things considered, you really should check out Love & Salt if you are in the LA area. Well worth it.“

“Good prices, great food and fantastic staff.“

“Simply Bellisimo. Perfection.“

“The food is absolutely brilliant, the parking is okay, the staff are friendly and the atmosphere is great“

“I have had trouble eating lately. This is the first time I have felt hunger in quite awhile. This microbowl and Lion’s Mane Smoothie is exactly what I needed ! Many thanks to the wonderful staff who are always friendly 🙏“

“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.“

“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,“

“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.“

“Hawaiian themed chain restaurant in the Mall. Went with my Aunt who loves the food. Had china coast salad which was good. Very accommodating, my cousin wanted a burger with no bun which was no problem. Server was attentive. Overall good experience for chain restaurant.“

“It’s brand new and clean. The staff are super friendly and very helpful. It’s a very comfortable environment with electrical outlets and USB ports for your electronic devices. And the food! Best turkey burger I’ve had in the South Bay and those brussels sprouts are to die for. Go! Quickly! 😬❤️😬“

“Beautiful views of the golf course , with a lovely interior plus enjoyable food makes this a great spot for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

While staying at Westdrift, I really enjoyed my experiences at Jute.

Service was friendly and attentive.

Food hit the spot:

Turkey Club: was a large toasted cheesy sandwich. And overall had nice ingredients inside of it. Plenty of fries came with the order.

Jute Burger: a large half pounder. For five dollars extra, I ordered bacon and it came with five slices of crispy pork. The ingredients inside were fresh and filling.

Korean BBQ Tacos - generously filled with meat and toppings. Serrano peppers on side made it absolute delicious.

Salmon Crudo - fresh light fish, popping with flavor. Good starter with a nice contrast of crispy chips.

Overall, a good to great hotel restaurant. With so many great restaurants in the area to choose from, Jute should not be overlooked.“

“The Mother's Day brunch was amazing! Lupe and the entire team provided excellent service which made the day extra special for my wife and for all of the Moms dining at the restaurant. It was our first time eating here and we will definitely be back.“

“I was here for a spontaneous meetup... once the food arrived it was pretty good... my only complaint is there's no alternative for turkey sausage or turkey bacon... overall it was still good and Jaedon made things happen despite our group's indecisiveness... I probably won't return because I don't usually eat at places twice... no offense to the restaurant, but there are thousands more I need to try...“
