50 Best American Restaurants near Walnut

“Food is so good ! Service is awesome !“

“I Have Never Eaten At This Place Before At Mount San Antonio College, But I Would Like To Try It Some Day If I Ever Visit Mount San Antonio College. This Eatery Looks Like Several Restaurants In Los Angeles. Here Are Some Pictures Of Me Holding A Clapperboard On The Set Of A Production In October 2023“

“I have Applebees a try after probably 12-15 years since my last visit. We went to try their new 2 for $25 menu. The selection for that price is pretty limited but they had some nice upgrades. I was unfamiliar with their menu and food preparation. I ordered their OM Burger. Upon reading the description, it sounded like a regular burger. When it was delivered, it was cut in half and the cut ends were sitting on a sizzling plate and in a bath of melted cheese. That was so unappealing and unappetizing. To grab the burger, I had to place it in a napkin to ensure that my hands and clothes were not going to be covered in the grease that dripped down.

However, the server and manager were very understanding and remade it on a regular plate in a standard burger like fashion. In the end, I will return because of the service. I now know how to order the burger so that I am not instantly repulsed by the gobs of grease that they added unnecessarily.

Overall. It was a successful experience even if it wasn’t perfect in all aspects. HOWEVER, watch out for the automatic 20% calculation on the bill. The tip (at 20%) should have been $6. The bill calculated $10.12! Super shady if you ask me.“

“Everything is delicious here. The coffee is top notch.“

“My daughter and I ate there yesterday for the first time! The chicken was very tender and tasty… I recommend the chicken club sandwich. My daughter got the Cobb salad and the portion was huge! Their specialty lemonades are really good too! I tried the strawberry and basil! Yum!“

“1 be my not sin you: 2 sins not: an victory“

“Beer dinner excellent love it here would come back this is my 3rd time“

“The food is delicious and generous portions!“

“Breakfast burritos were amazing!“

“We had a group of 24 people, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. Luis was excellent—he went above and beyond to accommodate us on very short notice, which is no small task for a group our size. He arranged a private room for us, making the gathering feel both comfortable and well-organized.
What really stood out was how quickly everything came together. The food arrived impressively fast, and the service never missed a beat despite the large party. Luis and the team made sure everyone was taken care of, and the whole experience felt smooth and effortless.
Highly recommend for large groups or special gatherings—great service, great coordination, and a very enjoyable experience overall.“

“My friends and I tried this place out and we loved it. We started with the meatballs and then got the rib eye. Everything was fantastic. We tried a couple different drinks and everything was really good. I’ll be back“

“This place was amazing. From start to finish you can tell all of the produce is fresh and everybody who works there really cares about the food they're turning out. The manager walked around and checked with every table to see if they were happy and felt accommodated.“

“The service that the manager, Miss Carrillo and Mr. Isaiah was impeccable!
Great neighborhood restaurant, great atmosphere, great, great food, nothing to be desired. Everything was perfect.

Ask for the section of Mr. Isaiah you will not be disappointed.“

“My wife and I, plus my daughter Jennifer and granddaughter Breanna were very much please with our dinner last night. Michael our server came out and created us, by saying it was so nice to see you here again. Michael remember our drink order and promtly brought it out to us. The job Michael did from start to finish was amazing. From getting our order out on time and the desert was perfect for my granddaughter Breanna and my wife's as well. Always asking if everything came out right and if we needed anything else. What a perfect evening and servers like Michael make us want to eat here often. Thanks again to you Michael for giving us a beautiful evening.“

“Oct 2026 •• I've eaten here a handful of times in the last couple of months, and never had a bad experience! The service has always been top notch - they're very accommodating especially with my elderly parents (in wheelchair and walker) even on busy nights.
This weekend, I notice that there were a lot of multi-generational families eating and it was nice to see. Food is great and reasonably priced (as reasonable as it is with prices right now). A lot of standout in food: pot roast, the small plates and appetizers, among others.

My family and I will always patronize this restaurant!“

“We had good time and enjoyed our 3 courses lunch with entrée & dessert wines included. Service was attentive and friendly. foods were tasty, well plating and reasonable prices. We have another reservation for dinner this coming Friday.“

“Michelin-Level Experience at Outback Prices The Wild Artichoke in Yorba Linda is a hidden gem. I was expecting something entirely different — and was pleasantly surprised in the best possible way. We started with the smashed potatoes and endive salad, which made for perfect appetizers: light enough not to spoil our appetite, yet full of flavor to whet it. The portions were ideal for sharing with my wife. For our main courses, we ordered from the lunch menu. I had the Wagyu burger, and my wife went with the tempura fish and chips. I’m not sure how they did it, but every bite was incredibly well-balanced. The fish had a crispy exterior, just the right touch of Maldon salt, and a beautifully firm, flaky interior. The tartar sauce was exceptional — rich, creamy, and unlike any I’ve had before. The burger was a standout. Each ingredient was distinct and purposeful — no unnecessary fillers. Every component worked in harmony to deliver deep, layered flavors in every bite. We ended the meal with the Basque cheesecake, which was beautifully presented. It wasn’t overly sweet, and the perfectly burnt top paired wonderfully with the sweet berry compote. A special treat was getting to meet the head chef. What a pleasant surprise. He shared the story behind one of his dishes and mentioned that every item on the menu has its own story and purpose. That passion really comes through in the food. I’ve dined at many fine restaurants, and I can confidently say the quality here rivals places charging $150–$200 per plate. The value is extraordinary for the caliber of cuisine offered. This is a truly special hidden gem — perfect for a relaxed lunch with friends or an intimate dinner date. I can’t wait to try the rest of their menu!“

“Extremely friendly atmosphere gives one a feel of home away from home. Food incredible and the service excellent, thank you Zack it’s always a pleasure to have you as our Server when we come there. I won’t forget the young ladies who so graciously seat us beautiful smiles and hellos go a long way.
Come on by breakfast lunch or dinner!!!
Oh, can’t forget the desserts are wonderfully tasty.
See you again soon,
Happy Customer ☺“

“A rare visit for dinner tonight on Friday , had a special for ribs and I couldn’t resist! Carlos and Caitlyn were great. Had a moment to share with Carlos the years I lived in Jalisco Mexico and what can I say Caitlyn has been great as always. She has been a great server since 2019, I hope she never changes.“

“I went into this Denny’s location and was graciously welcomed by fantastic associate by the name of David. David allowed my partner and I to choose our own seats and as we sat he had gone over the new promotions available that we could make use of. As I proceeded to order David pointed out that my desired meal was actually available under the promotion and advised me to take up on that for a better bang for my buck. David also pointed out that if we were not currently rewards members another item we asked for could be given free as a reward if we signed up, yet again saving us some money. As we dined inside, David continuously checked on us making sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our meal with such a wonderful attitude. Overall such an amazing experience with the extremely personable and attentive associate David.“

“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.“

“It had been nearly 15 years since my last visit. I must say the decor is exactly as I remembered. Took 3 minutes to be seated then we were greeted by the most friendly and attentive waiter I’ve EVER had at any restaurant . I’m a huge lover of the cabbage salad so I gorged on a big bowl before dinner. I ordered a medium rare fillet and potato and it was cooked to perfection. I so wish I lived nearby as I would pay it a regular visit. I’m so glad the Clearmans Northwoods inn has not been changed.“

“First time there… the food was excellent and the service was great! Friendly and very helpful. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Every Sizzlers is different...and this one is also. It is clean, yummy and FANTASTIC. Salad bar is FRESH AND FULL. HOT foods in salad bar are also fresh...really. ice cream machine with all the fixings . Including whip cream if that is your thing. Because it is mine. The service is on point. Waitresses are very aware if you need them. My compliments to the manager for being a great leader...because you have great employees. It truly shows in every aspect. Can't wait to be back. This Sizzler is GEM...“

“Olivia was very nice with us and she was pleasant to us very fast service she gets all stars“

“We stumbled upon this establishment while visiting Pomona for a BMW event. The reviews don't lie. The burgers were amazing, juicy, tasty and delicious. The staff is friendly and accommodating -especially Dario, he took his time to explain their cooking process, how the patties are made, and even went over all the sauces with us. Oh, did I mention their fries? They are fried in beef tallow and are incredibly addicting! Portion sizes were more than enough. Will be coming back!“

“Everything about this place is perfect.

Delicious prime rib. Delicious dessert. Great coffee.

Very friendly staff. I was served by Abby. The venue has a beautiful view over the city lights, and the interior has a European charm.“

“First, my standards: I'm an old man, and I like OG breakfast eateries, especially small, mom and pop ops.

What this means: fast service, hot food, lots of coffee refills. Today will hit 89 degrees F, but I still want hot coffee.

Menu: OG American White people breakfast: eggs, pancakes, fresh potatoes, bacon, sausage

Service: very attentive. Lots of server visits to my table. The server is in it to win it.

Stop here if you're hungry on a Sunday morning. They take cards, but save 4% and pay in cash.“

“Wonderful food and great service! Thank you for having dine-in also! I hope more restaurants will be bold and open with dine-in!“

“Some unique flavors and some familiar. Customer service at the bar is unparalleled, like the all-day happy hour pricing. I’m very happy when I come to this place, regardless of what I order.“

“Better than Red Robin !!!! 💯!!! Faster service and friendly staff and manager ! Waited 15 minutes at red Robin and didn't get helped. Came to Applebee's and got seated and got our food within 10 minutes!!! And the manager was very nice ! Thank you 🙏“

“Went on a Thursday for date night with the wife. Live music was great. The restaurant was slow but we had a reservation. The service was very slow although they were not busy. Food was tasty but pricey for what you get. We had the Caesar salad to start, Mongolian beef (good but not a large portion of beef with lots of rice for $32), shrimp tacos were on the smallest street taco tortillas I have seen. Drinks and desert were good. Cool vibe and atmosphere.“

“Of the many reasons I travel to Marie Calendar’s in Azusa is the fact the will make an old classic and favorite Monterey Classic 🤤♥️“

“Place like no other, hidden gem, very impressed“

“My rating is mainly for the pies. I've always loved MC's pies but so many restaurants have shut down, unfortunately 😕 And sad to say, (but i certainly hope not) this one is not far behind. So again, i only stopped in for a delicious pie to take to a dinner party.. I chose a coconut cream after going over the pie menu on the wall ... over and over and over. So many great options and i had alot of time to choose since the counter person was taking a customer payment. I also had a chance to peek around the place and you could obviously tell it was aged and dingy. Not really kept up like the old time Marie's used to look. There seemed to be a good amount of customers for a Wednesday evening around 5pm. The counter girl was courteous and efficient and got me taken care of, as a line started gathering behind me. This was my first time here but im gonna make it a point to return for lunch or dinner, maybe both. Just to support and patronize as much as possible. Hope the food is as good as i remember. Also, gives me a chance to pick up another pie. All for me this time! LOL“

“My 96-year-old friend loves In-N-Out. I introduced him to animal style cheeseburgers years ago and he always gets it this way now:)
The other day an Indonesian friend joined us and we got to introduce him to animal style cheeseburgers and animal fries. Another convert!“

“Yesterday, I discovered a hidden treasure in San Dimas - Sweet Savory Cafe. This cafe is known for its delicious cookies that sell out quickly. They offer a variety of international flavors, including Cuban sandwiches, salads, soups, freshly made bread, empanadas, and other bakery items. Some items are not listed on the menu, so you can ask for the Chef's Daily Special. I always look for clean and relaxing cafes where my family can eat, or I can simply sit and enjoy a book. My experience at Sweet Savory Cafe surpassed my experiences at other cafes in Pasadena, Claremont, and Upland. I arrived early and enjoyed warm cookies and bread, which were absolutely delicious. I ordered various items including coffee, soup, breakfast, and bakery items. Despite not being a coffee drinker, I found the coffee to be delicious and memorable. I also tried their Healthy Breakfast Burrito with added bacon, which was customizable and very filling. The Lentil soup had an amazing aroma and taste. I can't believe I didn't know about this cafe before, especially since I work in the city! For those new to the cafe, you can order through Uber Eats, Grubhub, Postmates, and DoorDash. Visit their website at SweetSavoryCafe.com or call them at 909-305-9738. Their menu includes breakfast burritos, breakfast sandwiches, avocado toasts, old fashioned oatmeal, and build-your-own scramblers. For lunch and dinner, they offer sandwiches, Paninis, burritos, Cuban sandwiches, veggie sandwiches, wraps, salads, combos, kids' menu, bagels, and more. They even have Keto-friendly San Dimas Barbershop Tacos! There is parking available in the front and back, and plenty of seating inside and outside. If you have a large party, they can accommodate you by pushing tables together. The atmosphere is peaceful, making it a wonderful place to read a book or enjoy a meal with family. They also offer freshly made orange juice, and all their sandwiches are made with their own bread. I tried a new flavor of Sweet & Savory bread and found it to be very delicious. I added cream cheese to it yesterday and tried it with butter today. This is definitely my new go-to place for food. I appreciate the cleanliness of the cafe and the fact that it's open early on for breakfast including Saturday and Sunday. I was even able to order all these items on a Saturday at 7AM. Thank you to the owner, Haydee, and her family for providing such a great first experience. I'm now a loyal customer!“

“Tiana was an amazing server! Food was delicious and drinks were amazing.“

“What a great find! Googled burgers and brews and this place was on the list. Well worth our drive over the hill from Whittier. It had been about 20 years since I last had a PB&J burger. It was in incredible! The jelly makes the bacon taste like candied bacon. The tots were perfect little crispness bombs. Small craft beer list is the topper. We will be back. Thank you Rhea for your hospitality.“

“Good food and friendly atmosphere. a bit cold. in there tho“

“Fantastic food. I had the black cod, it was light and fresh, I highly recommend. Great service by Kee and the coffee was excellent. This is a great place to meet clients for lunch or dinner because it is quiet and you can probably utilize the lounge areas outside. A great Claremont meeting place!“

“Breakfast is good and restaurant is clean and pies look delicious.“

“Been eating here for many years, but I'm moiling farther away. I miss their salid bar. The staff is always friendly and the food is great“

“Good service and nice employees“

“Good Food and Fixings!! Whether it's eat in or take out, Dog Haus has all the hot dogs, sausages, burgers and fixings you could want for a fulfilling meal. Good Quality of food and definitely recommend this as a top spot to eat.

“Great food. Great customer service“

“It is the best restaurant. People working there are great. They have the best food and I love it. I drive from Rancho Cucamonga to there. I hope they stay forever. I found out about it from a person on Next Door that happened to mention it.“

“I loved going there for dinner, I didn't know they were open for dinner now with the new ownership. The filet of Sole dinner was PERFECT! Pleasantly surprised!“
