50 Best American Restaurants near Temple City

“Martinis have hair in the vodka. Not good for business. Bartender is rude“

“Our family loves The Hat! Their pastrami is the best! So much meat on the roll with mustard and pickles... yummy! It's hard to finish a sandwich; it's so much food! Pair the sandwich with hot crispy fries and a soft drink...it's delicious! You can also get burgers and hot dogs with homemade chili...or chili cheese fries!“

“Like all In N Out, the price and quality are truly unbeatable. 1000% better than shake shack and 5 Guys. A true American company I love to support. It is sad but necessary that they are moving HQ out of CA to TN. More companies need to follow suite to show Gavin Newscum and his policy makers that their regulations and taxes are driving thousands of individuals and corporations out of the state. I will always stand with In N Out no matter where they go.“

“Bit of a long wait but we expect that on a Sunday morning. All family members, including kids, cleaned their plates. My veggie omelette was solid. Reminded me of an omelette bar! But the real star of the show was the hashbrowns. I’ll be thinking about them for the rest of the week lol. Our server was very nice. Honestly, all staff were friendly. We’ll be back. Oh, and my kids both highly recommend the chocolate chip pancakes! 😌“

“The food has to be experienced!! It’s high-end in taste and presentation, and the staff are professional but so fun that you feel like you’re with family. They are attentive to detail and will bend over backwards to make sure you have what you need. Service with a smile; this company is pure joy!“

“I love the food here. Everything was delicious. We ordered the bread and butter, the kale salad, the clams and mussels, and spaghetti. The spaghetti noodles are made in-house. The butter is made in-house. The kale salad was soo good. The clams and mussels were in a very delicious sauce. We will be back!“

“The asparagus fries. Crispy & not greasy. You can appreciate the asparagus flavor. We split the Thai spicy salad. It was spicy, but the Thai basil & the peanut dressing were the stars. It didn't need the chicken. The best was the ribeye melt. The meat was cooked perfectly.The sourdough was crusted with parmesan. With a side of horseradish that was perfectly paired for this sandwich.“

“Ordered the off-menu Pomodoro pasta and it did not disappoint. The tomato and petit basil sauce was bright, fresh, and perfectly balanced. The wax beans were a standout - snappy and bright with serrano chile, toasted hazelnuts, and a tangy Frenchie vinaigrette. The garden lettuces were crisp and well dressed with radish vinaigrette, fresh dill, walnuts, and shallots. Good vibe, happy staff, great mix of flavors. The orange wine pairing tied it all together. Highly recommend Updated from previous review on 2026-03-29“

“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“

“Stopped in to have a few drinks while visiting LA. I sat at the bar and both bartenders were friendly and attentive. The restaurant and restrooms were both clean.

My second visit was also great. We had to wait 20 minutes for a table on a busy Friday evening around 7:00.

The fish and chips were awesome. Crispy hot fish.“

“JB burgers is my family’s go to place for great hamburgers and fries. Their mixed breakfast burrito hits the spot every time. My kids love the pancakes over any other place. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Monrovia.“

“Los parques y el servicio“

“The Braised Beef and Mushrooms with Mashed Potatoes . Mashed potatoes were so creamy I could had eaten a whole bowl of it by itself but Beef and mushrooms Just took it to whole other level“

“Terrific staff and innovative cuisine. Small local restaurant who worked hard to keep staff through the pandemic closures with delicious creative take out and who are keeping everyone safe by requiring proof of vaccination for indoor dining. Fresh creative food.“

“Breakfast tacos are a great option. Despite their seemingly small size, they are packed with flavor. Make sure to ask for hot sauce if you like an extra spicy kick. Tacos have a nice heat by themselves and are really flavorful. Highly recommended for breakfast. Sold in 2 or 4 option.“

“Clean,Friendly great atmosphere“

“It was an overall great experience. Came to chat with a friend, and was able to, while a great playlist played in the background.

Try the Cauliflower Bites and the fish tacos...very nicely done.

Will definitely be back!“
