50 Best American Restaurants near Sylmar

“I recently went there and got chicken and waffles, tasty and fresh but I'm not sure if the chicken was made there or store bought but it was good, service is good they just ask to much if we want anything else, and the atmosphere is great but the walls and ceiling do seem old, overall good place to eat if your in a hurry 👍“

“very accommodating, during this pandemic time...food always available one way or another.❣👍👍“

“I'm hearing VERY PROMISING reviews about the quality of the waffles here, yes. I'm being told that the waffle quality is near (or surpassing!) the standards required.“

“I absolutely love Charlie & Friends! I brought my mum here during her visit from the UK, and she adored it too. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by delicious food and friendly staff who made us feel truly welcome. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and genuinely friendly, making it the perfect spot for any occasion. We chose to eat outside on the lovely patio, which is spacious and relaxing. The location adds to its charm, providing a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle. We left feeling happy and satisfied, and can't wait to return 🥰“

“Nestled in Burbank, Eat N Park is a phenomenal breakfast spot & is a true hidden gem! Get there early because it does get packed and for good reason! Eat N Park, an Armenian owned restaurant offers a huge breakfast with some lunch additions. This place offers dishes packed with flavor, huge portions and low prices! The omelets are amazing, the Belgian waffles, strawberry crepes fantastic & the pancakes are out of this world!!! And don’t get me started on the biscuits…hands down the best I’ve ever had! My hats off to the chef for cooking comfort food that made me feel like I was at home! The hospitality is beyond amazing! The owners are extremely welcoming and serve as well. They treat everyone as if you were dining in their home! From one Armenian Chef to another Shad Shad shunorhagal em! We will definitely see you again soon!“

“We enjoyed ribs, brisket sandwich, cowboy beans, onion rings and Mac & cheese . All the food was delicious. The staff were also warm and friendly. Service was great. It is my new favorite bbq restaurant in the area.“

“Thank you so much 😊 🥃🥃🥃🥤🍷🍷“

“Great food and service. Menu includes some delicious options not offered elsewhere. If you haven’t tried the Stand, you should.“

“Great tasting food! Highly recommended.“

“Excellent food and service.“

“On January 30th our group consisting of about 35 retired cops and guests met at the restaurant for a breakfast meeting. We and were seated in the banquet room and Gail, our server, handled the group cheerfully and efficiently, mostly by herself. She took and delivered all of the orders and deserves credit for her friendly demeanor and keeping her composure while handling this gathering with minimal assistance from the other staff.“

“my Go To restaurant always good food good service good time great outside patio“

“One of my absolute favorites from home. The best staff ever, amazing food and more. My final meal before moving to Texas was here shared with great friends and family. Flying back next month for the first time since I moved a year ago and ALREADY a meal or two here has been in the group text!“

“Honestly very very nice people working at this place. They open at 11 but I was there at 9 am. I requested them if I can use their restroom? They allowed. I requested them to charge me for a sandwich, they refused. Usually in California they do not allow non customers to use restrooms with many many different excuses.“

“Always a wonderful culinary adventure as well as good wines and craft cocktails! The bar staff can be quite creative and always friendly. Plus, the atmosphere is fresh and hip- Industrial yet cozy.“

“I was recommended to Nati’s by a friend. The menu is diverse & serves every craving you have when hungry! I just love Mexican food & these cooks have a gift! There’s a nice mix of Oaxaca & Jalisco in the food! The Nopales breakfast & salsas are excellent! Must try! Definitely coming back for more!!!“

“Great food. Have been coming here for years since they’ve changed names too.“

“We needed a place to eat dinner late on Friday night and found Henri's. They were closing in 15 minutes but gladly allowed us to sit and order. We didn't want to make it hard for them so we just ordered breakfast for dinner and it was delicious! We are picky in our bacon and hashbrowns and want them cooked very crispy. They were the best we ever had! The next day we came back for breakfast for real and pretty much ordered the same thing. Unfortunately it must have been a different cook. Although it was good and plentiful it was not cooked as nicely as the night before. Definitely NOT a deal breaker cause Henri's is really very good and the staff is exceptionall - both visits. We could tell it is a local favorite and that is always a good sign.“

“the food is great but I think the people make the place!!!!“

“Todo estuvo excelente, primera vez que los visitamos y muy rico y limpio...muchas Gracias !.“

“Great service, food and drinks. We usually go for dinner. Also ordered in twice and it was great. We also love Tallyrand’s history. #supportsmallbusiness“

“Amazing service, come and see Shelby“

““The Works” the best breakfast ever!! Classy, yet fun staff!“

“I absolutely recommend having some drinks and food at the bar. Great people and fast service. My drinks are always delicious and made just right. The bartenders always make excellent recommendations. Robert and Cameron were super helpful tonight!“

“love FooDelicious! The food here is always incredibly fresh—you can truly taste the difference. Whether it's their vibrant salads, warm artisan sandwiches, or daily specials, everything feels thoughtfully prepared with high-quality ingredients. It’s the kind of place where you know your meal wasn’t sitting around—it was just made. Friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, and a clear passion for good food. Highly recommend if you care about freshness and flavor!.

Roy R.. thank you“

“Fresh and tasty meals, casual hip ambience. Favorites are Chicken Crustada and Southwest Chicken Salad. Service is always very kind. The ingredients are always fresh and portions are plentiful. And the desserts … out of this world!! We’ve been enjoying Wolf Creek for years. Go!“

“Delicious burgers and friendly staff.“

“Picked up a box of 6 empanadas to bring home, and another time i stopped by on impluse while driving by with my wife and we sat down on their outdoor tables by the sidewalk and had some coffee and 2 breakfast empanadas each.

I personally loved their pepperoni pizza empanada, theres alot of different kinds of flavors to try beyond the standard beef/chicken/pork fillings a traditional bakery would have.

Its a good place to know about. Their empanadas might be the perfect snack your craving that day, or you need to quickly get something like Porto's, but without the huge crowd and line.“

“This place feels seedy from the outside and dated and unwelcoming when you step in. Don’t let that fool or stop you. Once you’re in and seated you realize most everyone is a regular, and the staff is warm and welcoming. And the food is seriously stellar. I had the Bullet (their original recipe since 1954), my girlfriend the Huevos Rancheros. You can taste the time and care that goes into making everything from scratch. I don’t usually go places more than once but look forward to becoming a regular here and trying more on the menu.“

“The smash burger here is flavorful, with a crisp sear and well-balanced toppings, and the fries are reliably satisfying. The fry sauce is a standout, adding an extra layer of richness that complements the sides. On execution, the kitchen delivers.

The problem is the price. Portions are modest, yet the cost is high for what you get. Smash burgers are meant to be straightforward and satisfying, but here the price far outweighs the portion and experience. While the flavor and sides are commendable, diners are left feeling they’ve overpaid for what is essentially dressed up fast food.“

“Delicious 🤤 food. Highly recommend“

WE WAITED 1 HOUR AND 10 MINUTES FOR OUR FOOD. 5 of had to wait 30 minutes too enter which wasn’t that bad but then had too wait 40 minutes for our food, outrageous! I understand this is a new restaurant with a lot of customers but you’ve got to manage little better. The max I would personally wait is 45 minutes. Anyway the music was WAY TOO LOUD with the noise of the waiters and other customers talking you cannot add music that loud. Maybe a lower the volume a little and it might be fine. The food was ok but the chicken sandwich wasn’t crunchy at all but it was really spicy which I admire. The pizza was good too but the dough was not crunchy. The cheesesteak egg rolls were really good and had no complains. The food was surprisingly cheap so that’s also a positive thing.I don’t mean too ruin your business and stuff but I hope when I come back in 2-3 months most things of the complaints would be gone. A will delete this review and write a better one if done. Again, I hope your business becomes an amazing restaurant but there are some adjustments needed. I hope the owner sees this review and responds

Edit : I said I will be coming here
again but I updated this a little late, food was great, waiting time was a little shorter but still too long, and the atmosphere was fine I think they turned down the music. Way better then last time and would recommend“

“chicken and waffles 🫶💯🍗🥞☕“

“Just went tonight. The smash burgers are to die for. The staff is the best! Will definitely be back! 💖“

“Came here after seeing an Instagram post featuring the skillet burger with all that perfectly melted cheese, and I had to try it. Honestly, so glad I did. This was my first time at Applebee’s and I was pleasantly surprised — the food was great and totally hit the spot.

Shoutout to my server, Savan, who was amazing from start to finish. She gave great recommendations and even let me know they offer happy hour all evening when football is on (which is dangerous information in the best way)

Great food, great service, and a fun atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back.“

“I'm on vacation with my kids and our hotel suggested us to try this place. The food was simply amazing and our waitress was courteous and friendly. The gentleman that welcomed us was nice as well. I will definitely come back next time.“

“Went today for my Birthday Breakfast with my Sisters. Huevos Rancheros was amazing especially the black beans. Spinach, Ham Mushroom omelet was delicious especially with the Hot sauce. Look forward to returning. Service was with a smile.“

“It was a lovely dining experience and a little bit loud, I should have requested to sit upstairs because it's really open and brighter. We sat in a nook of a booth that was dark and romantic but not really the vibe for the meal. We had a dairy allergy and most things on the menu seemed to have butter that couldn't be removed but the server was very good about navigating that.“

“never had a bad meal here, I always recommend to all my friends and family“

“Food is so fresh, and flavorful. I really love the breakfast potatoes.“

“The perfect BLT. The perfect neighborhood cafe 💙“

“Excellent brunch food and drinks, lovely atmosphere. Chilaquiles, shakshouka and pain au chocolat were delicious. Cannot wait to go back to the patio for dinner!“

“Best menudos and other foods Have never had a bad meal. I’ll time goodnesses“

“Amazing Breakfast, I highly recommend.“

“COC is an amazing place. They offer so much equity to the community. Thanks to their adult re-entry program, the EOPS office, and all of the caring professors I was able attain my AA-T degree in psychology. I graduated with multiple university offers, including UCLA. I highly recommend checking out this campus, it was an answered prayer for me. Go Cougars! 💙🙏🏽“

“Un lugar agradable comida deliciosa y un buen servicio“

“Spent Christmas morning here and the food and service was amazing! I ordered a burger with seasoned fries and was pleasantly surprised how amazingly delicious the food was! My husband got an omelette and steak and we were both very satisfied with our orders. Our server anticipated our requests before we even asked and the staff was very friendly overall. We also appreciated that the manager kept checking in with us to make sure service was great and it was. Overall I was surprised at how great the service and food was here. We originally only stopped by because it was the only restaurant open at the time but now me and my husband plan to make this a monthly visit because we had such a great experience here. In a day and age where it seems the hospitality industry is leaving the customer service experience behind, I am glad that restaurants like Denny’s still exist and are upholding the customer experience tradition alive. Bravo Denny’s we will see you again next month!“

“So delicious and very friendly staff!“
