7 Best American Restaurants near California

“Huge THANK YOU for supporting our Staff Appreciation Week. The bagels were so delicious I didn't even get a photo!! Staff loved them!“

“Waitress was good and attentive. Food was ready fast and was hot. Biscuits were soft and not just sitting in a basket somewhere. I was able to purchase a sweater for 70% off because I had gotten cold in the restaurant. It was a good visit. Oh and they have alcoholic drinks now. I didn’t have one but my green apple iced tea was to die for.“

“Hi! I just wanted to share that my family and I had the most amazing experience at the Longhorn in California MD. The manager was active and visible and his staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Our awesome waitress was named Vicky and the manager was so personable!! He said he was from New Jersey and was able to carry on an authentic conversation while gauging how our dining experience was going- will definitely go back there - the food and drinks were perfection! Thank you for a wonderful visit!“

“My dad's birthday dinner was exceptional in so many ways tonight! Brian deserves a shout out for being a stellar server, and the food was all perfect! Extra thank you to William in the booth beside us. You were so sweet! The world needs more people like the ones we had the pleasure of interacting with tonight.“

“Have been here with no issues before, but service was quite slow on our last visit despite it being nearly empty when we arrived. Having hungry kids who were getting tired exacerbated the problem. The food was good (queso burger rocks), but ultimately we had to skip the fry refills and dessert that we were planning on getting because everything took so long to come out.“

“Arrived 15 minutes till 11pm. Surprised and grateful they offer late night dining, closing @ midnight. We were standing @ front to be seated for about 10 minutes and staff in sight. Finally, manager sat us, then our waitress came to take orders about 20 minutes after being seated! However the staff was polite, apologetic
and accommodating, and I got the feeling they were trying their best with an extremely low staff ratio, at that time in the evening. The food was good but not great. I had the strawberry & banana pancakes, topped with strawberry and whipped cream. It needed more strawberry syrup which I requested and provided on the side. They were very fluffy like I've remembered back in the day though. My friend ordered the Colorado omelette. I tasted it, and agreed with them that salt was greatly needed—but that's easy to add by oneself. The bacon pieces on top of omelette were slightly overdone. The hot chocolate however, was perfect. I like IHOP, but they have gone down both in quality and staffing.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly, in fact, not only were several children there around midnight with their families (travelers I presume), and they provide highchairs, an extensive kids menu and weekdays 4pm-11pm kids eat free! I don't have kids, I just noticed the promotion and other guests.“

“Food was good, but the server I had was inattentive. She just gave me my food and said here you go and walked away. I had hoped she would come back so I could get ketchup. I had to ask another server to get it for me. Since I had a burger with a lot of sauce on it I needed napkins to wipe my hands. Once again no sign of my server. I asked another server walking by if she could get me some napkins. She brought me cocktail napkins. Pretty much useless when trying to wipe sauce off your hands! My server finally showed when I was almost finished eating up to ask me if I wanted anything or the bill. A friend of mine said thyey had poor service there as well. Train your servers and may I will come back one day.“
