New American Restaurants near Santa Fe Springs, CA

“Best $2.00 I spent all year. Where can you eat, drink, listen to music and buy pretty much anything all in one spot? Let me tell you, it's the Santa Fe Springs Swap Meet.Parking sucks unless you park way in the back in the off site lot and enter thru the back entrance. Most of the vendors are permanently stationed in their own space here. Plenty of fresh fruit, bakery items, candy, clothes, shoes, hats. They sell animals and an abundance of random things. I purchased some Croc charms at a $1.00 each, bulk candy bags at 3 for $10.00. I found a new hat and some things I didn't need.There is live music on weekends. The Doors cover band was what caught my attention. Pretty cool place to relax, get exercise and enjoy the sun.Food and drinks can be expensive.“

“WOW. It was an amazing dining EXPERIENCE. We had a party of 9 which allowed for trying many items. Everything we ordered was tasty.:Rating -10 - Bing (Cultured Butter & Honey - Ribeye Au Jus)10 - Little Gem Salad9 - Grilled Boy Choy10 - Crispy Potatoes8 - Mushroom Crispy Rice9 - Grilled Striped Bass8 - Iberico Pork11 - Whole Plate Short Rib11 - Desert DonutThe bing hands down some of the best bread I've ever had and the toppings were superb. The little Gem Salad was a complete surprise with unusual flavor combinations dancing in my mouth.The Crispy Rice and Iberico pork were my least favorites. Pork was a very small portion and dry. Crispy rice had great serving presentation however there were bits a little difficult to chew. Boy Choy and Bass were good but nothing stood out.Short rib was decadent, tender and absolutely delicious with an unexpectant surprise of fried rice made with the remaining bits from the table side serving.To top of the evening was the OUTSTANDING donut desert served in New Orleans flaming style with caramel, Macadamia nuts and pineapple.Cant wait to return. I daydream about the outing and Already have reservations to try other items and reorder my favorites.“

“Exquisite ambience, innovative food and nice service! Went there for the dinner on Valentine’s and it was worth every penny. The dishes are really innovative and still have that touch of Indian food. Apt and balanced spices. Loved the way they have put in so much efforts in improvising the dishes.I ordered butter chicken pot pie, garlic naan, dum biryani, death by chocolate.Dessert was a 3/5 though, it wasn’t really that tasty.“

“Been wanting to try The Mustard Seed in Cerritos for a while & was not disappointed. This is a great option for anyone looking for healthy, flavorful vegan meal. Savannah was very friendly & helped in deciding our order. We ordered the taco bowl, Happy Hawaiian bowl, & a wet burrito. Slightly pricey, but the quality of the fresh ingredients & quantity was good. Met Phillip the owner, who talked to all his customers & said he's working on bfast & new additions to the menu. Can't wait to try them & I would definitely recommend The Mustard Seed for anyone looking for Vegan options.“

“Im super picky when it comes to Mexican food and let me tell you this place really does not disappoint. We waited a while for the food but you have to keep in mind that good food takes time and energy to make. I ordered the chilaquiles con mole and a side of papas, the chilaquiles were so delicious. The mole tastes amazing it’s not too sweet and has no bitter notes. Super filling. The papas are amazing they’re so crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Will def be coming back, I personally really appreciate the ambiance in there it reminds me of eating in a home or in my dads down in MX. The people here really value and love food.“

“First time trying this place, I brought my Aunt and wife for lunch and the ambiance is great open concept with heaters outside if it's cold but the decor is great also the music playing gets you in that relaxing mood. Service is all about the customers and if you have any questions everyone is willing to help. Menu is great because everything is made fresh and if you get the app while you are there, they have a point system and getting points also gives you certain items either free or on a discount. I got the app and in return we received free order of fries, they were delicious they also gave us free fried chips and pickles they made there and I'm not a fan of pickles but they might have changed that because I couldn't stop eating them. My wife and Aunt had the Southwestern chicken salad looked very good and I had the chopped chicken salad that was very tasty as well. To drink we all had the blackberry lemonade and it was very good. I can honestly say we will be back again and try other items on their menu. I didn't get to take pictures of my wife's and aunt's salad I was to busy eating mine, haha. Employees here are all about customer service, thank you for your service my family and will be back again!“

“I fkn love this place! We have been coming to The Cauldron since 2019 and every year it's like the first. Everything about this spot is magical and intriguing. The drink are mouth watering and the food is delicious. We fall in love with this place and each other all over again every year.“

“Excellent lunch spot. Was pleasantly surprised by this lunch spot. The food to price to service is excellent. The prices are reasonable. The portion sizes are reasonable. The quality of the ingredients is great. And the service staff is on point. I highly recommend this place. Parking is convenient. Note this is not a stand alone restaurant. The restaurant is located within a business plaza. They also offer a half sandwich and soup combo. My friend got the mushroom soup and half a sandwich and said the soup was excellent. Another friend got the Cobb salad and said it was great. I got the club sandwich and was very pleased with my order. We also got an order of the hummus to share which I highly recommend. Will be back. Thank you!!“

“This bar has all the right games at any given time. Great place! Football playoffs were showing on every TV outside of the bar. Another the end. One maybe two screens were dialed to NASCAR. For the most part, Our server was attentive and she would ask us how are doing. Her instinct The menu was substantial. I choose the dip if I remember correctly. Awesome sandwich. The nacho were LOADED with various meats and copious amounts of cheese. Worth checking out if are visiting Whittier.“

“Came here on a recommendation. We wanted a place to eat and have a few cocktails. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The outside patio has heaters. There were also several large groups. Our waitress was incredibly helpful. We had Brussel sprouts to start. Ordered the halibut and the seabass. The pistachio tiramisu wasn’t quite what we expected and didn’t finish it.“

“Meet my friend for her birthday lunch and we had the place to ourselves....Our service for spectacular...Definitely get the "Diva" Martini...We will be meeting there again for sure...Can't say enough great things about this place....Parking: Great, lots of it & very close....“

“I was in the area so decided to get done takeout. Got the Egg n bird sandwich. Don't forget the Free fries w a Yelp check in. Also got the Korean bowl. I preferred the Korean bowl. Largely because the chicken in the egg n bird sandwich was a tad bit too sweet for me. Service was helpful and friendly when I was deciding what to order Ample parking. Place was nice and clean.“

“Visiting from out of town and found this place. Needed vegetarian options and they definitely have some. Had egg and soy chorizo burrito and fruit cup. It was delicious. Great service, busy but still attentive. Bought a tofu and soy chorizo wrap with homemade chips to have later on and it was great too. Definitely recommend for breakfast or lunch.“

“Love these burgers! Fresh, well seasoned, well portioned for the price. The Hawaiian burger is my favorite with the seasoned or sweet potato fries. ? They also offer you specialty sources that take their burgers to the next level. The portion is always generous here. The customer service is a little bland but you go for the food so it's totally worth it. 1000 times yes to So-Cal burgers.Parking: The parking lot is shared with other stores in the shopping center but you always find parking they have a big parking lot.“

“Dined here this evening. We enjoyed some Cocktails to start then ordered Beef Tartare, Shrimp with Veg and Roasted Carrots. Entrees varied from Pasta to Ribeye steak and Burger. All delicious. The Carbonara needed more bacon but that was the only issue. Desserts were great. The Espresso wasn’t hot enough for my guest but overall we enjoyed the evening celebrating a birthday. Will recommend to my friends for sure. Would recommend a reservation as it was very busy by the time we left at 6.30 pm“

“Really friendly staff and happy to help. For reference I am totally blind as in I can’t see anything. So yes, I am a disabled individual. They’re always happy to help me, and to even get to different places around the hanger. Super friendly as well especially the earlier shift don’t know the later shift really. I am sure they are good too. Lovely people. Every time I go they are just as friendly. :d good work! The food is made well and tasty as well. The food is quite filling as well. Got their blazing fries. I forgot to put in my number but the system remembered it. I was so bummed until I checked my messages later. And there was my reward. Good food, good company, and nice service, not sure what else to ask for.“

“Food is delicious and portions are generous. The beer selection covers a nice range of tastes and the off menu desserts are amazing. The ambiance outdoors is relaxing and refreshing with plenty of seating. The service is always warm and inviting. I wish I could buy one of the Brew t-shirts worn by the servers.“

“Friendly staff and service. Got a pin. I love their tomato soup. How good can tomato soup and onion rings be? Oh wait. Really good. I don’t like ranch but I think I like their hot ranch and garlic dips. I also really like their grilled cheese. Had their philly cheese one. And it was good. They have funny and interesting pins. I like milk tea so I had to get that!“

“So seriously why people aren't talking about the spiciness of the chicken. It burns so much and I love spicy food. This chicken is like an abusive relationship that we keep coming back for more and you can't get away from. It's really really good though.I didn't know if it's possible to have different levels of spiciness? I definitely got the arson in your mouth special spicy special. This chicken should be on the TV show " Hot ones"if it hasn't already. And no I'm not complaining about the spiciness I absolutely love it. " Tastes so good it makes you wanna smack yo mama" (quote from the movie "Friday after Next ")“

“We had baby back ribs .Delish!!!My son had a hamburger with bacon ,avacado,aoli sauce he enjoyed it. My mom had a surf n turf it lacked flavor but Manager made it right by bringing out a plate baby back ribs full meal to replace surf n turf. Mom was very happy after that. Great customer service. Our waitress was prompt and very niice. We will be back again.“

“After bowling a couple games, I decided to stop in Cal Bowl Coffee Shop for a bite to eat. Went with something simple and healthy. A salad with the works. After placing my order (I was the only customer) I started wondering what was taking so long. Grab the salad out of the fridge and serve. Much to my surprise, the guy made the salad there on the spot. Fresh ingredients, including bacon, turkey, cheese, crisp fresh veggies and slices of egg! No pre-made salad sitting for days ... made there on the spot, and wow! Excellent. Seems everything is pretty much made this way. Definitely worth a short wait because the food and flavor is rewarding. AND my order was just a salad. LoL. Will be back to sample some of the special doughnuts and a cooked meal. Don't let the 'cafe' fool you, this is quality dinning.“

“We have been here at least a dozen times over the last few weeks due to our house being renovated while staying at a local hotel.Everything from the breakfast to dinner and their beer selection has been amazing. Our favorites are the Chicken Caprese, Reuben and the Miso Salmon. Their fries and desserts are great too!“

“Hot dayum WINGS!!! The most delicious spicy wings I've tried in awhile! I stumbled into this wings joint when I saw how busy it was inside so I decided to check it out. The buffalo wings were super tasty and SPICY!! The restaurant has a nice, chill vibe to meet up with friends. would def visit again.“

“I had SUCH a good experience here! A lovely small business to support rather than going to a Denny's or IHOP. The service was so great and it's a nice and homey restaurant. The food was SPECTACULAR. The crepes were so good I got an extra order to go! I've been eyeing this place ever since it opened and had no idea it got so lively in the mornings! It's a great place to take your family out to eat and their menu is quite large! We got the Paris Crepe Combo (w/eggs and bacon), Fresona Crepe, Jamaica Juice and Iced Blended coffee. I also ordered a paris crepe and hobo skillet to go and can attest to quality to-go orders as well as dine in! I will definitely be coming back here everytime I'm back in the area.“

“The waitress was excellent, and the mozzarella sticks I had never had any like these crunchy, crispy and just soooo delicious. Quesadilla with chicken was just as delicious too. Live music was Super Duper main vocals her voice was prefect, we will be going back soon.“

“Did not know this place existed. I've been to the driving range multiple times and this is the first time I see this place. Service is quick, food is good but the best thing is their beer prices! No better way to enjoy golfing than enjoy a nice cold draft beer with a view.“

“My aunt I came for the first time.I do therapy next door so I thought I try for BD celebration.Wow, never heard of this place.The chicken and waffles qhere so good.I had the coconut orange juice. Very delicious.Now my kids are taking me for BD in the Downey one.Praying they are just as good.“

“A quiet gem on the 2nd floor of Nordstroms. Even though it is a little odd to order and pay for a full-service meal with the hostess before sitting at a table, the food is really worth the visit. I ordered the Heirloom Tomatoes and Burrata as an appetizer. I think it needed to be seasoned a bit more appropriately, at least with a sprinkle of salt on the burrata. I followed it with a French Dip sandwich on a parmesan baguette served with a rich au jus and it was served with salt & pepper crush french fries and kalamata olive aïoli on the side. Great lunch!“

“I've been wanting to try this place out at LBX. I'm Filipino and I noticed they had some Filipino things on the menu. I called in today to try their Filipino Brunch and I sensed some hesitation in the person's voice. Come to find out, this location is turning into an Italian restaurant but they were so kind to make me a Filipino Brunch to-go; their last one ever! They were so kind and I'm bummed it's changing but I left with a smile and a blessed heart.“

“I stopped by the market across the street to use the ATM before coming to this delicious cash-only drive-thru. Service was friendly and so fast. The food was great. I spent under $20 for a full chicken, a dozen tortillas, medium rice, and medium beans. Two kinds of salsa were also included. This ended up being about four meals for me! I hope I work near you all again soon so that I have an excuse to stop by for another meal.Parking: Parking is behind the building.“

“Excellent restaurant for steaks and a night out. Been there for the dance classes and the happy hour buffet. Prime rib is more like roast beef, but still tasty. Don't forget to order coffee and dessert. Go for dinner early to avoid weekend crowds.“

“Main chick is probably the best hot fried chicken restaurants I’ve been to & this spot does it right.I just ordered a tender and leg quarter both at medium spice with lots of mc sauce. They were both cooked perfectly, tender juicy and full of flavor. The mc sauce really adds that balance and it was an amazing lunch.I’d definitely come back here again to try their other menu items. Parking is plentiful but don’t know what it’s like during peak times.“

“Lakewood prides themselves on "Times change, values don't", but Cindy at the food stand inside Cowboy Country begs to differ. Super rude and righteous, burnt our sweet potato fries to a charcoal crisp, and she acts like she funds the manufacturing of the paper plate factory. I was so appalled at my interaction with her that I spoke with Brad, the manager on duty, and he apologized on her behalf and said they have been receiving a lot of complaints about Cindy and her poor attitude / performance. Everything else at cowboy country is awesome. Fun crowd, lots of dancing space, mechanical bull, and the women at the retail store are kick ass- cute and wide supply of cowboy hats and clothes.“

“This place is crazy!! GOOD CRAZY! Best ribs I’ve ever had! The meat falls right off the bone. Sandwich’s are huge as well as the portions.BBQ pork beans, so so good! Reasonably priced for the sizes given. Totally worth it!You will not regret it! “

“Burgers and fries are really good and ive been eating here since i was in High School but the prices are really bad. A burger combo costs you around $14. I can eat at Red Robin for the same price with free refills on fries. Lower the Prices!!!“
