50 Best American Restaurants near Tujunga

“My daughter loves this place, we ordered lunch take out. Their fries and hamburgers are good. The hamburger bread was kind of sweet for my taste. I would prefer a different kind of bread on my burger, but it doesn't take the fact that their food is good, great prices, great customer service.“

“Always friendly service at the Tujunga location. All the waitresses are nice but my favorite waitress is LETICIA. My mom and I meet at IHOP once per week. We both look forward to seeing Leticia's friendly smile Thank you, Virginia VA“

“This place has a 90s dive vibe with contemporary elements serving diner style comfort food that is very good. Staff was friendly.

I just stopped in for some fries and they were pretty good. I dig the vibe and am looking forward to going back and bringing friends.“

“One of the best meals that I have had!“

“My brother and I had the most amazing night of superb jazz and food this past Sunday, entertained by Betty Bryant and ensemble. Her fingers moved like liquid gold on the keyboard and her compositions were witty and mesmerizing. The word that kept coming to mind as they performed was "subtle." The music was powerful, but so discrete as to be gentle and gentile. Woodwinds, Bass, and Drums - all played with the kind of delight that makes everyone love the performers as well as the music. As for food, one dish stood out particularly: the creamed spinach with blue cheese. Please tell Chef I would love that recipe! I'm back home in Tennessee now and plan to attempt to copy it, but having the authentic recipe to serve to friends when we entertain would be over the top! Can't wait to visit my brother in LA again and return to Herb Alpert's Vibrato Grill, Jazz, Etc. Just wow! And Thank You!“

“The artistic name of the bistro matches the artistry and delicious flavors of the cuisine. A threesome: vegetarian, vegan, and carnivore found a multitude of savory options. Our waiter/thesbian: Chris was charming and anticipated our every request. Foreseeing a return.“

“I had a really nice time at Little Beast Restaurant. The place has a cozy and relaxed vibe, perfect for just sitting back and enjoying good food. Everything we ordered came out fresh and full of flavor, you can tell they care about quality. The staff was friendly and made sure we were comfortable the whole time, which I really appreciated. Service was smooth and not rushed at all. It’s one of those spots where you just feel good being there. Definitely a place I’d come back to again when I’m craving something tasty and chill.“

“TLDR: good food, okay service.

I'll start with the good 😊 My husband and I have come here quite a bit throughout the years and have attended a handful of the special events they've put together. They had a rum event where they paired dishes with a variety of rum tastings. It was a great date night and nights like that will keep us coming back. I also remember a delicious to-go Valentine's box during covid that was so thoughtful and delicious. We have enjoyed tasting every dish we've been able to try.

A couple of our favorites have been the smoked trout on ciabatta and the ricotta gnudi. The smoked trout is a hearty bite but somehow light at the same time haha. It's craveable. We like it as a starter or if we're still feeling hungry after a few other dishes. The ricotta gnudi however, is sooo rich and satisfying after a few bites, making it a very decadent and shareable plate. It's probably too much for only two people but we still eat all five pieces and only feel a little guilty after. I give 5 out of 5 stars for the food here.

With that being said, we recently went to try Antonia's winning dishes from ToC. We ordered both dishes and felt like they were probably better when Antonia made them haha. The sausage didn't have a great texture and both dishes needed salt but overall, they weren't bad and I'm happy we tried them.

I think they fall a little short in customer service and possibly staffing. We have had a couple of good interactions but on the norm, it seems like they are understaffed in areas. This is the reason I'm giving 4 stars vs 5. Well, that and because we'll often book a reservation online but when we show up, we have unfortunately been seated at the worst tables. It's usually the smallest table they have and in a very noisy location. Maybe we have had bad luck. Maybe it's because we're two small people without a dog, so they think we'll be happy crammed into the smallest spot they have?

This last visit, we were lead to an indoor table that was sandwiched between two large groups. On one side, the table was about an inch away from someone's back. On the other side, there was a group of about 12 girls having a bachelorette party and scream laughing. We just knew it would be hard to have a conversation there, so we asked about seating outside. They accommodated us by seating us at maybe the next worst table haha. It was just outside the front door but we knew it would be 100% better than where we were. We appreciate them moving us 🙏

I guess the point to that story is, be vocal on where you want to sit. Also, your chances of getting a good table seems to increase if you bring your dog haha, which is unfortunate.

Oh! And as far as parking goes, it's a little hard to find a spot but they offer valet. The area around the restaurant is super cute if you want to walk around a bit before or after your meal. I recommend checking out Color Me Mine just down the street for a nice date night.“

“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!“

“Terrible place duchie not mad“

“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 🥰“

“The quintessential diner in the heart of Toluca Lake. All day breakfast with a standard lunch & dinner menu. Average pricing and above average cuisine. The establishment is adjacent to a number of large studios. Thou not a destination, if in the area, it's worth the price of admission.“

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

“Freshly made empanadas is one the best in the LA county. Fantastic empanadas with fresh ingredients, flaky crusts, and great flavors. Friendly service and a welcoming atmosphere. They offer a wide variety of options for both meat lovers and vegetarians. Plenty of choices to satisfy every taste, making it easy for groups to find favorites.“

“Cool dicey bar feel with great drinks and fabulous bartenders! Loved it when it was Oyster Bar, and still loving it as Oy bar!!!“

“Good food and geared for the older generations. Decor was quaint Menu was huge and had so many types of food. American, Mexican, Italian, Fish, and lots of types of of sides and soups. Our waiter was very nice and there were lots of booths and tables. The back room was a bar with about 10 stools and a tv..all filled with older men watching the NFL game. My steak was a little more done than I would have liked so you may want to order it medium rare. I loke my meat pink. It was in would say medium well. I got French onion soup that was good. Had cocoa. And my dinner came with broccolini and I asked for squash instead of one if three types of potatoes. Pleasant people ans quiet. My mom also enjoyed her dinner of crab cakes on a salad.“

“Gotta go from UberEats to here because the food was amazing! I was sick and didn’t want to eat anything, ordered the Chicken Noodles Soup and it is perfect! As someone who doesn’t like western food but only Asian food, I didn’t expect much, but the soup was amazingly delicious. Way to go!“

“Food was delicious and friendly customer service. Looking forward to going again“

“The food and drinks were all great. Though service was kind of subpar. I went on Valentine's Day, and it was not crowded at all. When I was seated for my 7:30 reservation, they seated me at a table that was right next to another couple. Because it wasn't crowded I asked if I could sit at the seat one down. It was a corner seat so I would be able to sit next to my boyfriend, rather than directly across, so I preferred that seat a bit. I was told I couldn't because a 7:30 reservation was already planned to be put there and that if they change that seat, then the entire schematic for seating would be thrown off. I asked if they could just be seated at our seat then, since we both have a 7:30 reservation. I was told no, but offered a seat two over. I took the seat and it was fine. But then no one was ever seated at that table. It was honestly kind of odd and felt like a “power move” on the staff's part. Then at the end of the meal I had to wait about 30 minutes until the waiter finally came back to have us pay. Again, if it was a crowded night I completely understand. But the restaurant was not crowded at all.“
