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 👍“

“We are a family from Ukraine and we explored the surroundings of LA and found this bar, which is over 107 years old. Here we tried the most delicious burgers ?, juicy wings, tasty fries, and amazing draft beer. Thank you very much for the warm welcome!“

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

“The fact this didn’t pop up for best restaurants in Burbank when searching google and TikTok is a travesty. This was phenomenal in every way and the owner genuinely seems to enjoy what he does. Everything is made in house including their sauces, the meat they used is displayed. If houses around here didn’t cost 1M I’d move here and eat this every day.

P.S. House sauce is amazing and the images pictured is the classic smash burger with an extra patty and the pastrami burger (which the wife loved)“

“Horseless Carriage restaurant is an American diner located at the Galpin Ford dealership serving up large portions of old fashioned and modern comfort food for reasonable prices.

I came to visit Galpin Ford recently after visiting the nearby Sepulveda VA center to look at a pickup trucks for my elderly veteran friend's 5th wheel. Afterwards we were in the mood for a good old fashioned American breakfast and this place really hit the spot!

Pass the big American flag just east of the dealership where a cute sunny patio, counter seating, cozy booths and well spaced tables are all available and wheelchair accessible.

There's an early bird breakfast special which offers light breakfast for under ten dollars for early risers.

We ordered French toast with eggs, bacon and sausage. The French toast was drenched in eggy batter, the bacon was lean and crispy, the eggs were cooked to perfection.

Our server was friendly and service was fast. Everything was wonderful. I highly recommend this restaurant to you fellow world travelers.

Fun inside scoop. I was in a band when I was teenager and the owner of this dealership was often in the crowd singing along. He's an awesome guy. I'm not surprised this restaurant is so beloved by everyone!“

“I’m visiting For the Win right after a visit from my nephew at the children’s hospital. I was hungry there was no line at service counter, I asked to check out the bacon and Natalie kindly showed me the quality. Nothing beats a good offer and fresh fries are my favorite“

“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.“

“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!“

“Thank you so much 😊 🥃🥃🥃🥤🍷🍷“

“Great tasting food! Highly recommended.“

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

“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!“

“Nice old school coffee shop diner with a big selection of breakfast items and lunch and dinner items. Prices are not bad, better than most for a place like this. Opened in 1971 I think and it hasn't changed much. A Canoga Park Iconic place.“

“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.“

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

“Excellent food and service.“

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

“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“

“What are great place to have dinner with friends and family. The staff are extremely professional and give you top quality service. Sat at the bar and had one of the best dinners with my mother as well as the wonderful bartender that couldn't stop talking to us (in the best way). Genuine interest in a random customers conversation is as rare as it is refreshing when going to a restaurant. They also gave us incredible recommendations! Had the Bacon & Blue burger and the nitro cold brew espresso martini. Both are 10/10
Will definitely be coming back!!“

“I always enjoy going to Wolf Creek. I've never had a bad meal. Everything is tasty, the portions are huge (half-size pasta is two meals for me), and service is always prompt and super friendly. Happy hour has some amazing deals. We get two appetizers and two drinks for around $30, including the tip. The olive tapenade doesn't look super appetizing but it's absolutely delicious. I could make an entire meal of just that and the fresh bread. The patio is nice and private and shaded. Could use a little more ambiance but they've earned their five stars with me. I'll keep going back!“

“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!!!“

“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.“

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

“chicken and waffles 🫶💯🍗🥞☕“

“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“

“Delicious burgers and friendly staff.“

“I was craving empanadas and found this place online that was nearby. Ordered the combo for about $13- which included:
• 2 empanadas
• 1 soup or salad
• can of soda
I tried the beef and spinach+cheese empanadas. Both were good, my favorite was spinach & cheese- creamy and flavorful. I tried the lentil soup, not bad but not my favorite and will pass next time and stick to just empanadas.“

“Amazing service, come and see Shelby“

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

“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.“

“Sahar has made our night above and beyond. She should be training people not only on etiquette, connection with customers but being able to multitask in many levels. I have seen her tend to every table with detail and that was the highlight of my dinnner. Dispute her being busy she always asked how we were doing. That deserves 10 stars ⭐️ for customer service. Managers should highly consider her for a higher position. Great job Sahar 🙌🏼🙏🏼“

“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.“

“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.“

“Delicious 🤤 food. Highly recommend“

“Nester leads a team of genuinely kind and happy-to-serve people in the LA area. Unlike other Denny’s, this location is well-maintained, the area is safe, and the food is well-prepared.

Jay was an absolute joy to have as my server. And Pam, very similarly sweet and lovely.“

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

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

“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.“

“The perfect BLT. The perfect neighborhood cafe 💙“

“Amazing Breakfast, I highly recommend.“

“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!“

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

“love their food“

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

“I thoroughly enjoyed eating at this hot dog and burgers and beer and comfort food restaurant. I've been somewhat restaurant shopping today and have been generally in shock at what one must pay to eat out in LA these days---it's almost criminal! Here, I was pleasantly surprised by what seemed to me to be an affordable menu, and now I can say that I loved the hot dog (only brown mustard on mine) with its nice fluffy bun, the perfectly cooked tater tots, and some chicken wings and lemonade. Had I not been invited here, I may never have walked through those doors, but now I'm glad that I have, and I plan to be back.“

“😃Fun Times.. lots of events“

“Love the Burger's, brings me good memories, Definitely try it again ☺️“

“Got to enjoy food on the other coast. It’s about 3,000 miles from CT. So when I vacation in CA, it’s a big deal for us. Always a good job by the cheerful staff Fresh delicious food prepared how you want. I order the double-double, protein style.“
