Restaurants in Sierra Madre

“Cozy restaurant full of character, good vibes and yummy food near a babbling creek in a mostly hidden canyon - what’s not to love ?❤️”

“Great neighborhood spot for refreshing smoothies, açaí and more! I always come for the build-your-own açaí bowls. They are affordable and the larger size will definitely fill you up! Service is quick and friendly too.”

“🙂👍 Jason does a great job!”

“Good enough for Richard Pryor, good enough for me!”

“fresh, fast and tasty burgers!”

“I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the organic juice dude isn’t just about juice! They serve delicious sandwiches and Açaí bowls too! Y’all need to check this place out! 🤗”

“We had a wonderful cozy experience headlined with a delicious Turkey Cranberry Sandwich. My partner had a Chicken pesto which was scrumptious. The new owners are very courteous and took extra time to ensure we had everything we needed, even giving us a complimentary Cinnamon roll. The environment and location is as sweet of a neighborhood experience you can find in the LA area.”

“The coffee here is amazing. The barista is friendly. And the ambiance is quiet and intimate. When you walk in, it’s very open and welcoming. The barista was very knowledgeable on any of my questions and we traded recommendations on some local Portland roasters. I got a spro and cortado, while my wife got a Sierra tonic which actually made me like espresso tonics. Hands down this is the best oat cortado I’ve ever had. The milk was steamed with perfect microfoam, and it really accented the bean’s natural sweetness. I didn’t catch his name, but we were there at noon on a Saturday after thanksgiving. Anyway, stay frosty Sierra Madre, Peace.”

“Hello This is a good news/bad news review. We frequent Only Place quite often. We probably average about 3 times a month. But it's not unusual to go a couple times in a week. Your food and serving staff are excellent. Among our favorites are Whitney, Bronwyn, Hanna, Jose to name a few. Whitney is especially great! Now the bad news. We were in last Friday and were shocked with the unexpected bright lighting. It was uncomfortably bright. Nobody needs that much light!! And considering the average age of your customers it's even more important to keep the lighting flattering. We had to move from our booth because it was so disconcerting. Please please please change the bulbs in the overhead lights. If you have to squint to see the bulb it's TOO bright. We loved the family atmosphere of Only Place. The new lighting level ruins the atmosphere. We're begging you please return to the previous pleasing level. Thank you”

“food is amazing and staff is top-notch”

“Nice atmosphere, and good service . Food was okay . Not sure what else to write in order for this to post 🤷🏻‍♀️”

“We have dined here a couple of times when we come back to visit family. We are never disappointed. The food is quite good. Portions are on the larger size, so expect to have leftovers to bring home (or just go nuts and indulge).

However, the dinning room is comparatively small and not intimate. That isn't that big of a deal, but you should be aware of it going in. I would recommend a reservation if dining later in the evening. If you arrive earlier, they can usually seat you.

Parking is on the street (but that is par for the course in Sierra Madre), but be prepared to have to drive around a little to find a spot.

The only negative was on our last visit. The front of house was clearly understaffed. The one waiter was doing double duty as the bar tender. So, speed of service was not on the menu.

A solid choice for dining and will we will undoubtedly visit again.”

“Fantastic independent pizzeria; I've been ordering from them for nearly 20 years now, and they've never disappointed.
I enjoy all different versions of their pizzas: Traditional, California-style, New York style, and their new Detroit Style (super-thick crust, but requires advance order). You can also order by-the-slice on available pizzas at their store, and there is some seating both indoors and outdoors if you want to eat there. Also walking distance to R.T. Rogers microbrewery, where you can enjoy great beer and great pizza together!”

“Enjoyed our quiet outdoor meal last night. Everything was delicious 😋”

“We were able to catch the game!”

“Hiatus= opportunity for another stop in the LAtte tour. Today’s pilgrimage finds me in Sierra Madre at Syndicate, a fantastic find nestled comfortably downtown on Sierra Madre Blvd. Plenty of street parking and a beautiful place to take a stroll if you don’t score a spot immediately out front. The vibe is instantly welcoming, decor is colorfully minimalist, that’s probably not a thing, but it’s the best descriptor I have. The baristas are friendly, skilled and true devotees to all things coffee, even willing to share some potential sites to visit on the next LAtte stop. The coffee itself is excellent, rich, flavorful and no hint of bitterness. I went with oat milk this time and it paired perfectly with the blend, rich creamy, delicious! I can wholeheartedly recommend a visit should you find yourself in the area, or even if your not- expand your horizons and make it a destination, it’s worth it.”

“Delicious homemade pies! I've tried the key lime, berry chess, and the carrot cake, and all were so good. They also have a lot of unique candy (including several Swedish candy options) and other gifty things for anyone who loves sweets or cute stuff. Great shop!”

“This place is pretty decent. All I really get here are fish and shrimp tacos. And I think those are pretty darn good. If I'm going out on a limb I get a bean and cheese burrito. No fluff, no nonsense, just a burrito to the dome that makes me fart. 🙂 Anyway, I think it serves better food than the other place in Sierra. Madre that's just my opinion. Service is fast and there's some good people working here. So come here eat a fish taco and shut up. Love, me. 🙂😘”

“Great food and friendly service!”

“Located in downtown Sierra Madre, Sierra Madre Pizza co serves a wide array of various pizzas and toppings and assorted other items as well as offering lunch pizza slice specials parking can be found in the back in the front of the location or you can park in the public parking lot and walk across the street, some of the best pizza I've had.”

“Lots of vegan choices here with faux meats. I ate my falafel and fries. The fries were a light golden, crunchy outside fluffy inside, generous portion, but it costs extra. The falafel (about five in the wrap) was good, a little dry, but good chickpea flavor 5/5...but I wished the lettuce wasn't so "spring mix from a supermarket bag" and clubky chunky...I like to see more finesse...but the pita was the thick fluffy kind and the sandwich was well wrapped so you could hold it without too much falling out. I enjoyed the cute Sierra Madre ambiance inside...though I was kept waiting so long in the place i nearly left...about 12 minutes alone before someone emerged from the back, without as much of a welcome or greeting. Well, I was excited to be there at least. Anyway, no check ins from any server but I tipped the guy 15 percent anyway, and he did thank me for that. I ordered a beef and chicken combo with rice and the proteins were grrrreat 5/5. It survived the half-hour drive home. Suggestion: Ask to have the pita bread packaged outside the container. The pita was under the proteins...alas mushy soggy unrecognizable....not smart, sorry. So if you want pita that isn't mush, beg to have the pita on the side. One star less because of that decision to put bread on the bottom for a takeout order. My mom didn't get any pita 0/5 and that's a shame bec it was the fluffy kind.”

“great location..fantastic polite knowledgeable stuff”
