50 Best American Restaurants near Glendale

“We are always satisfied with our experience at the Avenue. Food is very good & we were pleased that you restored the broccoli, bacon, cheese bites to the menu. It’s not on the menu but us locals know to ask for it. One request, please have Drambui in the bar so that they can make a Rusty Nailer“

“Ever since I was little, I would go to this restaurant so many times. I have so many fond memories. Even eating it today, it brings back memories of when my mom would take me and my siblings to eat there for dinner. At the time, they would close much later than they do now. Thankfully, I'm already walking home by 2 pm, and since I live close by, the delivery was nice and fast. The food is always delicious, generously well priced, and the customer service is always really nice. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger that came with fries, along with an extra side of onion rings. That came up to $20 on the dot, and with the portions they serve, I was more than happy with that price. I have, and I will continue to go to this amazing restaurant. I highly recommend it if you're in the area.“

“Last Saturday, we visited California Kitchen and had a wonderful dining experience. The ambiance was inviting and lively, perfect for a casual outing. Leo, our waiter, was exceptionally attentive and polite, ensuring our needs were met promptly and courteously.
The menu offered a delightful variety of California-inspired dishes, all prepared with fresh ingredients. We ordered multiple dishes. Overall, California Kitchen provided a fantastic combination of excellent service, delicious food, and a warm atmosphere, and we look forward to returning soon!!“

“My husband love the food.the server is friendly.“

“We had an amazing experience here this evening. The atmosphere was extremely relaxing and chill. The simple artistic decor creates a serene atmosphere. The food is delicious. We especially loved the beef tartar, duck, miso cod, milk bread, and shirt rib. Sticky toffee pudding was rich, but somewhat delicate. Cocktails were well balanced. Everyone was extremely attentive and the attention to detail made the entire experience one to cherish. I highly recommend this place. It's tucked away, but worth the trip. Looking forward to our next visit!“

“I feel guilty for wanting this place all to myself because it's so good. The staff handled my children's requests with grace. This place distinguishes itself clearly. Their menu offerings and service quality merit top rating. You should taste what this spot offers once.“

“Amazing staff, amazing food (better than my bubbies, but don’t tell her) absolutely loved it!!“

“chill vibe. great burgers. super cocktails. good service“

“This was my second time coming here. First experience was great. This experience was just okay. Our waitress was very aggressive when it came to ordering our food. Which I thought was strange since brunch was over at 4:30 (according to the website). We sat down a little pass 2pm. One of our friends was late and was rushed to order as well (we were still well within the time frame of brunch). The next problem was the waitress said we had to pay a 20% tip because of the size of our group which was six people. My thing is if that's the case it should automatically be added on the bill (that's what a lot of restaurants do). Still unsure about the 20 % tip because I checked the website and didn't see that information. We were hounded because we wanted to pay a different tip based on the service. The tipping amount is supposed to be based on how well the service was. This service didn't deserve 20%. The 20% was paid but we weren't happy about paying it. I'm disappointed because like I said my first experience for brunch here was great. The previous waitress was super nice and welcoming. We didn't feel rushed at all. Based on this recent experience I don't think me and my friends will be coming back here.“

“Waiter was extra kind and friendly!! Meal was delicious. Thanksgiving away from home. Atmosphere very nice.“

“We came here on a Sunday early afternoon and had one of our best recent dining experience. We live close by so we went in hoping it would be a gem and it absolutely didnt dissappoint. The garlic naan might just be the best we’ve ever had. The mussels were very fresh and not sure if it’s the season but the flesh was super fat. The sauce it was cooked in was also very very good. Dipping the naan in that sauce was straight heaven. We also ordered the rotisserie chicken, which we thought was a bit pricey at first but man, it was cooked to absolute perfection. Crispy skin, JUICY all throughout, with grilled lemons and a decent sauce. The service was also phenomenal. Our server had great energy, and provided us the perfect balance of attentiveness and space.
The vibe of this place is also top notch. The modest exterior is only hiding the spaceous, modern, and elegant interior.
Overall, we could not be more thrilled about this find and will definitely be coming back to try their drinks and sea bass dish! Highly recommended for an absolute treat.“

“I thoroughly enjoyed my reservation at Linden’s!

A small group of us were there to celebrate a friends birthday. The staff was very welcoming and friendly, the service was nothing short of amazing, and every dish we ordered was delicious!

I will be back again soon : )“

“The Pork Belly Bao Buns were freaking amazing!!!!“

“Loved every dish- fluke with black tea, mint and peach(who knew raw fish and fruit went so well together?), amazing grilled artichokes and grilled eggplant. Barely touched my pasta with preserved lemon because I was full, but it was delicious. My daughter’s burger was iconic. The Platonic ideal of hamburgers. Coffee was also delicious. If we had not made a plan to go to La Cabral for dessert and more coffee, I am sure dessert would have been equally excellent.Service was excellent and our waitress was knowledgeable and interested in the food.The fluke reminded me of the first time I went to USC in 1988. I had a plate with raw marinated tuna, raw salmon and raw scallops. The little heaps of fish were so pretty on the plate with their contrasting colors.“

“Great atmosphere and service“

“Super unique and delicious maple praline brown butter pancakes! More cake than pancake. The wait was not long to get a table and the service was prompt, professional, courteous, and didn’t leave us in want of anything. All of our needs were met. Food was prepared much quicker than expected and was all very good! I would definitely recommend this!“

“The food is phenomenal!! That’s it, that’s all!!“

“Absolutely the best food in NYC we finally got a bar seat this past Saturday was in the city for pride we have been trying for years everything was spot on crysathenn salad, the stuffed flatbread and lasagna and cocoa tiramisu“

“From our first steps to our departure, everything was AMAZING. This saturday evening was out last in NYC before returning to Montreal and The Smith Midtown made it PERFECT. The food was more than we could even expect. The seafood tower is quite an experience, treat yourself! Thank you to everyone at the front desk, including the managers, because they made us laughed a lot and were so nice to us. Big thanks to our server too. A must in NYC!“

“Crown Shy, located near Wall Street in downtown Manhattan, is a remarkable Michelin-starred restaurant that seamlessly blends modern culinary innovation with subtle European and Asian influences. Each dish we sampled was a testament to the chef’s skill and dedication—crafted with genuine passion and executed to perfection.

The experience began with warm, inviting bread that set the tone for the evening. The oysters were a standout, fresh and brimming with oceanic flavor. For our mains, the Branzino and pork katsu were absolute highlights. Both were beautifully cooked, with rich, nuanced flavors in the proteins themselves and the accompanying sauces that elevated each bite.

To finish, a lovely ice cream dessert brought a perfect close to an extraordinary meal. Crown Shy offers a more accessible and relaxed take on Michelin-starred dining in New York City—truly an experience I highly recommend.“

“Every time we take a trip into the city, we make sure to visit the Cookshop. Love the staff. So friendly and they make the best margaritas! Jiro (sorry if I’m misspelling) is a great bartender.“

“5 stars are not enough to tell you how good this place is. We've been staying in the Franklin Guesthouse (hotel adjacent to Madre) for a couple of nights and decided to give Madre a shot - boy were we in for a treat! Firstly, shout out to Armando, who made us feel immediately welcomed with his warmth and energy! For food, we got the Frutti di Mare, Croquetas, Brussels Sprouts, Cornbread Madeleines (compliments from chef) and Chicken - massive MASSIVE props to Chef Bryan and his very talented team. To say that they cooked "well" would be the understatement of 2022. They absolutely blew our minds with top quality medley of ingredients, depth of flavor, and masterful execution in every way. Cocktails were fun and delectable, which added the perfect "pop" to the culinary rocket ship that Madre served up. Just when my wife and I were ready to call it a night, Chef Bryan and Armando were kind enough to bring out the Pot de Creme for us, which was the bow and ribbon on this very special dinner. My only regret of the night was not having enough stomachs to enjoy more of what Madre could serve up. We will definitely be back! Thank you, Madre!“

“Uma experiência fantástica, com ótima música! Fui do Brasil a Nova York para conhecer! Show!!“

“What a wonderful restaurant great mix of foods and service was so friendly. Highly recommend butternut fries to start!“

“That’s really nice restaurant“

“es un muy buen restaurante con un buen servicio tiene un personal muy capacitado son muy amables y los platillos que están en el menú son muy delicios los platillos bendiciones“

“This restaurant is built on a philosophy I want to applaud. Vegetable-forward dishes. Farm to table freshness. Clear expressions of flavour in each dish. And it works. This is fine dining that also puts you at ease as a customer. Service is polite, prompt, but never overbearing. The dishes like being reintroduced to old friends. Familiar flavours that are so much more alive than you expect. Delightful.“

“the next time I make love to my wife, I'll be thinking about the burger I ate here. phenomenal!“

“Amazing food and atmosphere at“

“My friends, check out the chefs menu.
Come hungry and leave delightfully pleased. Chef was a legend and everything was cooked to perfection.
Took my lady here for her bday and decided with the sampler/chefs choice. Could not be more pleased.
Professional, delicious, and attentive.
Love this place and will be taking friends and work folk here soon.
Check it out you will not be disappointed unless you are a little puss.
Really great stuff and orange hat chef you killed it. Thanks again.“

“The ambience is always a winner at RH Rooftop. Our server Georgie was outstanding! The kindest and most attentive server, I've had there to date. I had an issue with my salad and he handled it immediately. Thanks Georgie for being so awesome!“

“Solid breakfast burritos and great tortillas, which are like gold here. I haven’t tried anything else on the menu yet, but it’s just a matter of time - the salads look awesome. I moved here from Texas a year ago and love everything about the city (except for the rent), but I do miss Tex Mex and good tortillas. New Mexican is its own cuisine and sure hits the spot while also being healthier, and those tortillas are a game changer. So glad to have found this place, just had breakfast from here, and am already looking forward to going back.“

“The best Georgian restaurant in NYC“

“❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“The waiter was always there but not intrusive, had a wealth of knowledge about the dishes and wines, and recommended the best pairings for my taste, perfect!“

“Outstanding service!! And the food was delicious!“

“This place is incredible. The atmosphere, the food, service, just everything is top notch. The crab cake here was probably the best I have ever eaten.

The drinks here have classic NYC prices, but the Monkey Bar martini was ridiculously good.“

“We sat at the chef’s table, and everything was amazing. Zucchini, shortbreads, pork chop, all the sides — and I’ve never been somewhere with such a focus on chartreuse. We got a flight of vintage chartreuse and it was so fun. I can’t wait to go back.“

“Fantastic food, twist on classic Americana. Great drinks and service“

“Impeccable service. The hanger steak….❤️“

“Absolutely great food and its presentation amazing. The views, ambience and live piano music wonderful! The service was impeccable. I am a true New Yorker and difficult to please - I am not a tourist - and this is definitely a 5 star must experience restaurant. Thank you The River Cafe for making our dinner truly special and memorable!“

“We are always pleasantly surprised by Parker + Quinn and today was no exception! I am a huge fan of their kale Caesar (add hangar steak!) and today it was perfectly made yet again. Amazing!“

“Had a great late breakfast complete with Mimosas and Alfie’s Amber Ale- all served by our awesome bartender Niamh from Ireland!!!“

“Food and service was excellent. Service was out of this world. Can't wait to go again“

“Chill local spot worth going to even if you're not a local. The burger.... the burger, oh, and the burger. Did I mention the burger? Anyway, we had a bunch of other menu items, and everything is really, really good. We eat out a lot, and Swoonys definitely deserves a spot way up the list of places we really like a lot. Already well on our way to becoming regulars.“

“Great vibe, outstanding food and excellent service. What a top NYC restaurant should be.“

“Had on of the best Burgers of my life here last week! Cooked perfectly, full of flavor, and served with truffle parm fries. 10/10
We also had the Bacon Wrapped Dates, and the Brussel Sprouts which were also delicious. For dessert I highly recommend their frozen yogurt! is was so refreshing.

Over all, we had a fantastic experience.“

“Classic for pre-or post Broadway fare!“

“The Best that i ever been“
