New American Restaurants near Porter Ranch, CA

“Im just here to say that the gluten free burger is the bomb! The bun is great, spread delicious, and they never tell me they're out of gluten free buns. Refreshing! I'm limited with what I can eat and I loved this so much that I haven't really had much else from the menu, haha. The fries are skinny fries, if you're into that, I'm not really a skinny fries kind of gal. Peace & Cheers!“

“Great experience had at Porter's House! This bar is located within the Whole Foods in Porter Ranch! Today I had amazing service from Alex and Xander at the bar! They were very helpful in selecting my drinks! They introduced us to a great combo of ciders to take the sweetness off! Plus they help me fine a good sparkling wine! Thanks for the great experience!!!!“

“Most excellent experience and food was perfect. We had the duck eggrolls and the ricotta stuffed squash blossoms as starters, both had a delish specialty drink. I had the house burger with 3 different meats ground in including wagyu. Was done perfectly med rare. No room for dessert this time. Will def go back. Service was nice, we sat at the bar. All in all a great experience.“

“One word to describe this establishment AMAZING! I'm going to be a regular here for sure. The owner greeted me as soon as I walked in and asked if I had any questions about the menu. I already knew what I wanted to order so I went for it. I sat and talked to the owner while waiting for my food and he told me how he started his business and about his passion for cooking. Customer service was great! I have told everyone I know about this place. The food was a hit! Everything I ordered was good!“

“Food is delicious! Been here twice and it doesn't disappoint Service is fast and efficient. Servers are attentive to their tables! Just amazing!Highly recommended for authentic Mexican breakfast, plus i love the music! Got to hear PXNDX! which is one of my favorite bands !“

“Great food and great service.Vegetarian options: Plenty of options.Dietary restrictions: I had a lot of modifications and they were more than accommodating.Parking: Easy and a lot of parking.Kid-friendliness: Kids are very welcome. Great place to take the kids after a game.“

“Didn't want to be stuck in traffic for over 2.5 hrs to get home, so I decided to come here and grab a drink, watch some games, and let the traffic die down. They have minimal parking on the street but a large parking lot to the back. I was the first one here for at least an hour, which was really nice. They got televisions all over the place. So no matter where you sit, you get a good view of the game. They got some upbeat music playing loudly over the speakers. Some real head bangers!! Got me tapping my foot and bobbing my head!! It's somewhat dark, but well lit with all the neon signs and tvs. The booths were also really comfy. The waitress I had was amazing. Super nice. Checked on me frequently, since I was the only one there for a while. Very conversational. Great at small talk, so thanks. Knew the menu well. They have daily happy hours of beers, some food. And being a Tuesday, it was taco Tuesday!!!! Tacos were $2.50 each. I ordered one of each and they came out early quick. Feels like the ones you get right off the streets of LA (in a good way). Lots of protein. Packed with toppings. Double tortillas. More sauce on the side. They were all really good!! I had a couple of their beers. Had one on tap, an IPA, as well as another one in a bottle. Vibes here are really cool. It was nice just to sit back, kind of put my feet up and chill. Everyone was super nice. Upon request they can turn on the volume of any of the games. Unfortunately, someone requested the soccer game to be played on blast. Which killed the music. But I had been there a good 1.5 hrs by then, and I guess that was my cue to leave. And it only took an hr and 10 min to get home, mission accomplished!!“

“I was in a part of town I rarely visit & played "Yelp roulette". I rust type in "highest rated" in current location & see what looks interesting. I'm glad I found CF Food Kitchen. It's a fairly nondescript restaurant with a simple interior in the corner of a small pod mall. It was "Wellington Wednesday". Other items looked great, but I've never had beef Wellington, so I figured, "Why not???". It comes as a three course meal plus warm, perfectly crusty bread. I picked lobster bisque which was very rich, creamy and lobster-forward even without many (any?) lobster bits. I took the desert to-go. The key lime pie was solid. The Wellington was good, not great. The pastry was kind of doughy & the mushroom duxelles was fairly flavorless. Luckily the beef loin and Demi glacé were excellent. Also the dollop of whipped mash was great with the Demi glacé and a few small veggies. The roasted gold beet was small, but the star of the veggies. The server was amazing: warm, welcoming, caring and knowledgeable. I hope I'm back in the area to try other items. They definitely focus more on the food than the ambiance, though.“

“I always buy togo, this time I sat down and ordered appetizer, Bison Meatlove main course, Red Wine and Triple Chocolate Mouse dessert. Loaded Potatoes Hush Puppies Good portion, you can feel the flavors, but the tapatio sauce, being very strong, reduces the flavor of the potato, bacon, jack and cheddar cheese and green onions. Bison Meatloaf Incredible, excellent, tasty, perfect. I came for the Bison Burger, but this dish with puree and spinach is excellent. Just one BBQ Sauce is very strong and kills the great flavors. Triple Chocolate Mousse So so Service to serious, not to friendly...“

“Relaxed, hippish urban vibe, healthier but hearty dinner plates. By far the best part was our barista/server Vanessa, she had knowledge suggestions to make about the cuisine and was personable, friendly, fast and efficient. My only complaint is that the mashed potatoes were 86’d, I guess I will have to come back again to try them!“

“I've been here twice now and I must say I am very pleased. The first time I got one of their pastas I got the rigatoni and spicy vodka sauce and it was a creamy delight but just the right amount. I went again for my moms birthday Friday night and ordered the Parmesan crusted halibut and it was perfectly cooked, moist, well seasoned, and cleverly balanced with the amount of parmesan on the crust of the fish. Their wine list is wonderful too providing excellent reds/whites/roses from highly rated regions so the pairings with the food helps balance out the flavors nicely. Very happy with both experiences and would highly recommend this place!“

“The Stand is our favorite go to place. Fun for the family, great food, fun atmosphere, and a great selection of beer & wine. The Havarti and Mushroom Burger is divine as is the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich. We normally get the fries well done as they are then crispy on the outside and perfectly textured on the inside! Watching sports and guests is the best!“

“The price is high for the quality of food. It is a nice place to go for a lunch meeting. The buns are not vegan. Only sourdough bread is. I had the vegan impossible on sourdough with a little lettuce and a few pickle chips. I was not too impressed with the burger for $22.Vegetarian options: The buns are not vegan. Only sourdough bread is. I had the vegan impossible on sourdough with a little lettuce and a few pickle chips. I was not too impressed with the burger for $22.“

“They were running behind,I understand it was very Busy, but I could tell they were short handed on getting everyones meals out to them, the meals were done but the person packing up the meals was in need of help.Parking: People double park on the RED curb when waiting for food and it makes it hard to even try and get a parking spot. They usually have someone run in to get the food and the driver just sits in the car waiting, makes it very difficult for people to move around and to try to even get a parking spot.“

“We hadn't eaten a beef burger for a long long time as we've been avoiding meats other than fish. Yet, we thought it would be nice to have a good burger now and then.Nikkie was terrific! A great listener, knew the menu perfectly, exceptionally aware and alert about her customers and colleagues in general.When our fries were a bit undercooked by our standards, she explained they were as designed but that she'd order another order that would be crispier. We offered to pay for them, but she insisted that we don't. Truly unexpected.I think our only observation is that we thought the burger (which i sm certain is weighed) was just a bit small for the size bun they've chosen. Otherwise, flavor, consistency, cooked properly to medium well was flawless.Thanks for the wonderful experience.All five star, even atmosphere, simple because they do the best for what they set out to do...they are not competing for a Michelin star.“

“The O'Cado Burger was a 10/10. The vegan crabcakes had good presentation but it’s missing some flavor. The peach ice tea was unsweetened and would’ve been better with sweetness.The staff & hospitality is top notch.Clean, nice vibe and good music.“A” rating for food inspection.“

“I can always count on a wonderful meal at the Stevenson Ranch Urbane Cafe. From the warm welcome as you enter to the delicious healthy food. Management and the staff are friendly and go the extra mile to make sure the quality, consistency and presentation of the food is excellent. The restaurant is clean. The line to order moves quickly as well as the delivery of the food. Nice location and the ability to eat outside is nice.“

“I've been coming here since it opened, the sandwiches and salads have always been delicious. I especially really love the turkey club sandwich. The service is always professional, but Annie takes the cake, she is very friendly and really makes everyone that comes in welcome. It's always a pleasure to see her behind the register. I wish more people had Annies personality, this would be a better place for all of us.“

“The Stand in one of my favorite, casual dining places. The people are friendly and helpful beyond expectation, and I have never in perhaps 10-12 years had a single item that was prepared incorrectly or had to go back to the kitchen. A wonderful place to sit and relax and have wonderful, appealing, tasty food, served as quickly as any place in Los Angeles.“

“What a great cafe' serving healthy food, smoothies, bowls and more. We were on our way to Laemmle theater and grabbed a quick bite here. Such a pleasure to see such a diverse menu with healthy choices. I had the turkey on sourdough with sprouts (quite good), my husband had the Cali-wrap, he definitely enjoyed! Having more time, I would have delved into the smoothie choices, but will definitely return to try other items. I have to say the baked goods looked scrumptious for sure! The Eat Real Cafe is just what you want to brighten your day with it's cheery, comfy setting both inside and out. Quite busy at lunchtime today, yet service did well keeping up. I certainly recommend Eat Real on Main.“

“I've been here a few times and have tried a variety of food from the steaks to the seafood - ? I really loved the Seabass but you can't go wrong with any of the meals IMO. Staff has always been friendly and it's conveniently located near plenty of shopping.“

“We had a ladies lunch here on a Saturday afternoon. We made reservations online through Yelp about two weeks prior and were seated promptly on arrival at reservation time. We ordered drinks, appetizers, pizza, and flat breads to share. The buffalo cauliflower (has a nice kick), Brussel sprouts, and parmesan truffle fries were good, plentiful and crispy. The pear royale pizza and heirloom tomato flat bread were really good. The skinny studio heat cocktail was delicious and left me wanting a second round of it. Atmosphere is loud and it gets really packed and busy here. Service was attentive. There is a separate room in the back where a baby shower was held. Six Chow can accommodate big groups and is great for celebrations. Several tables were celebrating birthdays where staff came out with cake/desserts and sang at various times. Valet is available in the front, parking lot is small, and there are street parking.“

“I don't know if anytime I come here I'm hungry for something special and something real good But, I end up here at yard house and it never fails to deliver...........I got today a chicken tortilla soup and it was heavenly and for the main course I got the Thai grilled pork chop and it was really freaking good. I also had my fav beer from here called GARAGE nice crisp citrusy taste(super delicious). You got to come to this place. It's super awesome and the music is......I mean was 80s and it was cool“

“Went today for the first time. Was with a large group for the Sunday Brunch. Service was excellent, and there were plenty of food choices for $40.00. It was a great deal. The waffle with lemon ricotta and blueberry sauce was a hit. The prime rib was so tender we didn't need a knife. Omlette station had great choices, and the Mac and cheese was delicious. We will definitely go back. The Manager mentioned an Easter bunny on Easter. Bowling upstairs. So fun you could stay all day“

“We had Sunday brunch here, there was no wait time and we were seated immediately. The service was fast, and the brunch was good, The chicken taco was marinated perfectly, the blue jam Benedict was also good, the potatoes on the side was lacking taste, maybe some salt would have added to the taste. The iced coffee seemed very sweet to me. The ginger shots were good.“

“My companion and I ordered the rack of lamb, which came with mashed potatoes and vegetables. The lamb was delightfully seasoned and so tender! The mashed potatoes, though a small portion, were delicious, as were the fresh vegetables, broccoli and carrots.  For dessert we ordered carrot cake. What a huge portion !!  It tasted fresh and quite yummy! Our server was excellent, and kept coming around to see if we needed anything. The place itself is very historic, could use a fresh coat of paint, but the ambience was lovely.“

“We went to this location yesterday to celebrate our Anniversary. Jesse was our server and he was phenomenal!! Everything was top notch. Food arrived promptly at the right temperature. He anticipated our needs and we didn't have to ask for anything. Thank you to Wood Ranch and especially to Jesse for a wonderful experience!“

“So delish! & location is nice. If you don't like your meat red on the inside, definitely ask for it to be cooked more Well than Rare (didn't realize how Rare mine was until I was already into, so just followed thru)Parking: Free 90 minute parkingWheelchair accessibility: I love that this area is wheel chair accessible“

“Great place to have a lunch with co-workers either dinner with family & friends! Delicious food, affordable prices, fast service, kind stuff! The most exciting thing is Robot as a server, especially for kids :)I'm so happy they opened the second spot in Venice Beach!!!“

“I love this place. I didn't do all stars because I think the prices are high! The other reason is specifically the tea I order. The Peach tea. It's made in a type tea press, so the loose tea that's used could be used agin to make another cup of tea. But I think the loose tea is used once, and that's it! It would be nice that either the loose tea is bag and you as a customer can pour hot water over it more than once or give you the press to use while you dine in. That gives value and not wasteful I order the Thai Salad today and the Tempeh was cold and hard and seem less than usual however, the staff are always AMAZING and the food is delicious I would recommend this place over and over again!“

“Was told the kitchen was already closed when we arrived but then a group of 3 that walked in after us was able to order some fries which is what we had wanted. Got an old fashioned and a Diablo. Old fashioned was good and on the stronger side. Karaoke was going on. There were a lot of people but had no trouble getting a seat and it didn't feel crowded. The bartender (I think Mike?) was nice and checked in even though it was busy.“

“Bar Louie is fun they have a DJ on Fridays and Saturdays. There is no cover and every time I've been there I've been seated very quickly. There's ample parking and the plus is there is also Yard house around the corner. I usually order the Dos Sauz margarita. The truffle fries are delicious as well. It's a good place to get the night started.“

“What an incredible experience we had at Scratch Kitchen and Bar in Encino! My wife and I stumbled upon this hidden culinary gem on a weeknight, and little did we know that it would turn our 1-year anniversary into an unforgettable celebration. Initially, we had planned a cozy night in, intending to cook dinner together. However, as the idea of dishes and clean-up loomed, we decided to indulge ourselves and head out for a culinary adventure. With our devices in hand, we embarked on a Yelp research journey, debating between a steakhouse, a French restaurant, or something that encapsulated Modern American cuisine. That's when we discovered Scratch Kitchen and Bar - a name that immediately piqued our interest. With reservations secured through their user-friendly website, we quickly changed into our evening attire and set off. Upon arrival (after a playful bit of searching - like a grown-up scavenger hunt), we were greeted warmly by the staff and seated at the counter. They provided us with a brief overview of their unique concept and left us to ponder our choices. Opting for the Chef's tasting menu, we decided on the middle option. To elevate our dining experience, we brought along a cherished bottle of wine. Scratch had a corkage fee of around $25, which we found reasonable considering the occasion and the chance to enjoy our own selection alongside their culinary creations. The tasting journey began, and each course was a symphony of flavors, textures, and artistic presentations. From the moment the first dish graced our palates, we knew we were in for a treat. The carefully curated selection showcased the chef's mastery in marrying different ingredients to create harmonious compositions. Each bite was a delightful surprise, and we found ourselves savoring every moment and flavor. The staff's knowledge and passion for the menu were evident, as they provided insights into the dishes and engaged us in delightful conversations. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, allowing us to focus on the experience and the company of one another. Our decision to trust Scratch Kitchen and Bar for our anniversary celebration was rewarded tenfold. From the attentive staff to the exquisite Chef's tasting menu, every aspect of our evening was a testament to their dedication to culinary excellence. Scratch Kitchen and Bar is a true treasure in Encino, offering an enchanting dining experience that exceeded our expectations. The combination of innovative cuisine, warm ambiance, and attentive service makes this restaurant a must-visit for anyone seeking an unforgettable culinary journey. We wholeheartedly award Scratch Kitchen and Bar a well-deserved 5-star rating and will undoubtedly return to savor their creations once more.“

“For my wife’s birthday we decided to visit Larsens Steakhouse. To begin I would like to say that Larsens exceeded all of our expectations, delivering an unforgettable dining experience. From the moment we stepped in, the ambiance was inviting, setting the stage for a remarkable evening.The stars of the show, our amazing server Christian & the delicious steaks, were nothing short of perfection. Cooked to absolute precision, each bite melted in the mouth, revealing layers of rich flavor and tenderness that could only come from the highest quality cuts. The lobster was equally divine, succulent and flavorful, perfectly complementing the steak with its delicate sweetness, savoring every bite dipped in a small tin of melted butter.Accompanying our mains were a selection of sides that elevated the meal to another level. From the velvety mashed potatoes to the crisp and flavorful grilled asparagus, each dish was expertly crafted and served with finesse.Our waiter, Christian, was an absolute gem. His knowledge of the menu was unparalleled, guiding us through our choices with enthusiasm and expertise. He was attentive to every detail, ensuring that our dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. Christian's warmth and professionalism truly added to the overall ambiance of Larsens.In conclusion, Larsens Steakhouse is a cut above the rest. With outstanding food, impeccable service, and a charming atmosphere, it's a dining destination not to be missed. We can't wait to return for another unforgettable meal.“

“These folks were with Mia Jee in Santa Clarita(which closed). They are now part of this food complex which is take out only . called SCV Hub. Same owners. I had the chicken biriyani and loved it. Glad to see them back . There are several kitchens with different cuisines in this complex. Gotta go on extended food tour over the next month here. No dine in, no cash . Thankyou“

“Submarina has the best subs in Santa Clarita! I love going here. It has a nice and calm atmosphere, and the employees are very kind and helpful. I also like how they offer every sandwich to be cold or toasted. They even have a dog friendly patio with shaded seating.“

“Ordered family style kabobs and rice with various side dishes, and everything was great! Tender and juicy meats! Plenty of rice to share! Yogurt with cucumber, yogurt with shallot and shirazi salad are terrific, plus Persian flat bread for dipping. I would definitely go back.Parking: Giant shopping center parkingKid-friendliness: Food for all agesWheelchair accessibility: Easy access“

“I love coming here after a day of shopping. The food is just okay to be truthfully honest. There has been a change in the items for the food menu a while back and was sad to hear that they don't make the chicken sandwich anymore. They made a new menu basically and while although it's simple the soup and salad is great. The ambiance is very nice. The service is also good the servers are kind.“

“They were super welcoming and nice folks. The seating was cozy and cute. You feel the family business vibe. Their coffee mugs are super cute each was different and unique The french toast was a bit dry but it was ok when mixed with the maple syrup the fruits on top was tasty but wish there were more fresh fruits and no canned fruits. The parking was also large and spacy“

“We didn't know there was an event at the Marriott. Very noisy and many people walking through the restaurant. It would have been helpful to know in advance when I booked on line that there was a major event at that location. Other than that, it was good“

“A friend and I decided to have lunch at Schooners. The service was prompt and efficient, with a self-seating option available on the large covered patio or at the spacious bar area.The menu boasted an extensive selection, and having been here multiple times, I can vouch for the excellence of their offerings. The traditional hot wings stood out as a personal favorite – generously sized, meaty, and bursting with flavor.Schooners doesn't disappoint when it comes to beverages either, with a diverse range of beers on tap, twisted teas, and other drink options. Their enchiladas and Bloody Mary's are particularly noteworthy.The consistently friendly and efficient service adds to the overall positive experience. The atmosphere is vibrant and lively, attracting a crowd looking to unwind, enjoy good drinks, and catch a game on TV. Personally, I find the patio seating especially enjoyable.In terms of value, Schooners exceeds expectations with its combination of generous portions, top-notch service, and reasonable prices. It's a place where quality food meets excellent service, making it a fantastic dining choice.“

“Driven past this spot for years. So I decided to take the plunge, so to speak and have a go at it. I tried their fish and chips, and they were amazing. The portions were awesome and well priced. The service was fast and friendly. It was pretty busy, but my food was out pretty quick. The peri peri sauce was a new find for me and I'll get that in the future. Their menu is wide ranging, and the beer and drink menu looks quite extensive as well. Also, the bar itself is pretty cool, and lots of rugby memorabilia there too. Pretty cool crowd. Thanks Springbok! I will be back.“

“A quaint, laid back BBQ joint. When I visited there were maybe eight groups in the restaurant. The service was prompt and friendly. The pastrami sandwich and onion rings were delicious. The only thing which was so so was the Mac and cheese.“

“Lovely spot in NM. Always great service, and food is delicious and options interesting and varied. It is pricey, but that should be expected. Hardest thing is finding parking. Never packed full (at least the several times I've been there). Attentive but not overbearing service.“

“What a great little find in a strip mall undergoing some demo. Loved my NOLA Benedict. The yogurt parfeit was surprisingly great. The Italian coffee was excellent (not diner like) and son even agreed to get a haircut at barber next door. Perfect morning. Thx!“

“Oh my goodness. My brunch event was exceptional . Our hostesses were A1 and so very sweet. We were a party of 12 and everyone had a good time. Not only were the ladies accommodating, but they also made us feel extra special. BOXENSTOPP has a mix of breakfast and lunch on the menu, and the food was delicious . Thank you, Angie!!!“

“Had a nice dinner. Service was fair. Ordered a Prime Rib dinner and was served a Ribeye Steak. The server tried to convince me it was Prime Rib....but come on....I have been cooking and grilling 50 years and know the difference. It was tasty though....just not what was ordered. Bar service is rather slow.“

“The Runway Restaurant & Lounge is located inside the Hilton Woodland Hills Hotel. This is one of the nicest hotel lounges that I have experienced. The service is consistently on-point, and the food is fresh and unique with a very good and ever-changing selection. The bar is nicely stocked, and their wine selection is impressive for a hotel restaurant lounge. There are many restaurants in the area, but my colleagues and I enjoy spending our free time at the Runway whenever we are in town.“

“I was honestly surprised with how good the food was. When you think of pub food, you can could get it anywhere but this food was very much elevated. I got the salmon plate and that was one of the best crispy skin salmons I've had in a long time. My partner got the fish and chips and he said the same. One of the best fish and chips he has had. Other dishes that were had was the Philly and the smash burger. All really delicious dishes. Will definitely be coming back again soon.“

“Let's start off love the layout of this place very cool calm and collective atmosphere local atmosphere. The plating was very nice and aesthetic. The service was quick and attentive. You can get onto the waitlist on Yelp which I love. Biscuits n Gravy - 6/7 it was super filling and I would've appreciated they went easy on the sausage bits. It felt like a soup. But it was tasty and a different take on it. Side of eggs, SUPER SALTY Benedict - 7 the taste was ok, pork belly was a bit small and didn't go well with the benedict very well could've been better as far as pairing it together. The pancakes were 10/10 which is was the upside of our brunch light, fluffy and not too sweet and yummy fruits!“
