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 ?❤️”

“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”

“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.”

“Love their sandwiches! Delicious!!”

“🙂👍 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.”

“It’s in the gas station! I just saw it’s 5 stars and went there and couldn’t even find the place and in the end I found it’s in a gas station BUT! BUT! It’s not a failure to “since I am already here “, performance quite exceed my expectations, good fried chicken indeed, crispy outside and juicy and tender inside! Should not miss it if pass by!”

“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.”

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

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

“food is amazing and staff is top-notch”

“We had dinner at Wistaria last night and the food was delicious (we had the beet and goat cheese salad and the trout almondine and salmon dishes). We had such a positive experience that we decided to make this our go-to restaurant whenever we are in the area. I actually decided to write this review because of the kind service--after I left. I was convinced that I had left my cell phone at the restaurant (my phone had died and my apple watch indicated that the phone was there), and the staff person who answered the phone kindly looked for it and then patiently explained that if the phone had died, my apple watch may be indicating its last known location, but not its present location. She was right, and I soon found my phone--with a completely dead battery. Nevertheless, I appreciated her taking the time to reassure me--despite how busy I know that staff can be at that restaurant. We had planned to return for the wonderful food, but now we will definitely be returning for the delicious food, charming atmosphere, and more-than-helpful service!”

“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.”

“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!”

“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!”

“We were able to catch the game!”

“Great food and friendly service!”

“Best prices on Tuesday and Thursday during taco special price days. I like their fish taco Tuesday best. The fish strips are a decently sized, properly seasoned crunchy and still tender.”

“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”
