This review is for their Catered Food. Just to be clear, Truxtons provides food for a party. One just order and arrange this ahead of time. I recently went to a party where all the food was from Truxtons! The food was delicious. I took photos. There were salmon skewers, Bistro Salad, various sandwiches, fruit, hummus and veggies pickled cucumbers, penne pasta, and skewers of tomato, cheese with basil .Everyone at the party raved about how good the food tasted. Of course the host displayed the food beautifully. The host picked up the food in large container trays from the restaurant and then arranged the food at home for the party. 5 stars for the food! read more

Parking: free parking in the front a little hard to find the area because it is on a hill. Service: super friendly staff that may be too friendly to a fault we went at 9 AM on a Saturday morning so no wait staff does give you plenty of time to decide. Sometimes you do need to wave them down if you need things a little faster. Food: amazing American food - well seasoned. Sounds like you can customize anything - if they have it they will do it. Would love to try other things there as well. read more

Went to Truxton's and honestly, it was just a really good meal. Parking was easy (always appreciate that). Service was super friendly and attentive without being over the top. I got the Portland Burger medium rare -- thick, juicy, cooked just right. Definitely hit the spot. I chose the garlic Parmesan fries and I'm glad I did... they were so good. We also tried Donna's Fish & Chips. The cod tasted fresh, not overly fried at all. Nice crunch outside, moist inside. It came with chipotle mayo and tartar sauce, plus more of those garlic Parmesan fries. For dessert we had the flourless chocolate cake with caramel gelato and chocolate shavings. Decadent!!! Super rich but worth it. Overall, just a solid place with good food and good service. We'll be back. read more

I've been here a couple of times and each time the food was great & service friendly. The last time I went, I ordered a mushroom pasta which was delicious! Their margaritas are also yummy. Highly recommend. read more

I've been here a couple of times. This place is average an I think overpriced. The service is also pretty average. The last time we were here the server seemed like she didn't really want to be there and wasn't very enthusiastic about checking in on us to see if we needed anything. The tuna sandwich is lacking a flavor. Not sure if it needs sweet or acid, but it's missing something. The garlic fries are pretty good though. I'll come here with friends if they want to go but it's not something I would suggest. read more

Truxton's American Bistro - Tuna melt. 3.5 stars. - New American Near Me - Torrance, California

We had the most amazing experience at Truxton's last night. We love Truxton's in general but the service the night we were there was AMAZING! Addie is VERY PERSONABLE & FRIENDLY!!! They also have a new dish called Nona's Greek bowl that is DELICIOUS!!! I have returned twice recently, just for the Greek Bowl... I find myself craving it! I hope they keep it on their menu & not have it be temporary. read more

This American Bistro is a beast with their portion size. Truxtons offers a big selection of delicious menu items with healthy portions. The chicken and waffles (w/ bacon!) were pretty solid, made me cluck. The servers were nice and very helpful, restaurant was clean and organized with accommodations for small and large groups. Would recommend and certainly would comeback for more grub. read more

Truxton's American Bistro - Chicken & Applewood Bacon Waffle - New American Near Me - Torrance, California

We were excited to finally try Truxstons after living nearby for years, but the experience was disappointing from the moment we were seated. Despite there being more spacious seating available, we were placed in a very tight booth that was uncomfortable and not adjustable. When we sat down, the table was soaking wet, and menus were placed directly on it--so wet that they stuck to the surface. What was especially upsetting was that shortly afterward, the same host stopped another family from sitting at a nearby table specifically because it was wet, saying he didn't want their arms to get wet or the menus to stick. This courtesy was not extended to us. The inconsistency made us feel overlooked and uncomfortable. We understand mistakes happen, but equal consideration for all guests should be a baseline. Unfortunately, this left a bad impression. read more

Our first time trying Truxton's. I was amazed by the fresh ingredients used in our dishes and all the flavors combined made everything taste so delicious. We will definitely go back and try other delicious dishes and desserts. The service was also great, fast and friendly staff. read more

Brought 8 women for brunch on a Saturday. Food was exceptionally good. Quite elevated plates for a casual restaurant.......and service was excellent. read more

A hidden Gem close to home. Stumbled upon this place and gave it a try. As we arrived we waited a bit while they set up the table. The waitress was great and attentive if we needed anything. The food shocked me but was very flavorful and well served. We got the Wings as an appetizer and they were tangy but so delicious and messy. The Shanghai Bowl was my absolute favorite and can't wait to have it again the chicken was crunchy and had great flavor and love the mix of everything and the crunch of the veggies. The All American burger was juicy and the fries were great. The Sambal Avocado bowl was finger licking good. The Ambiance was pretty chill, there was bar area and the inside is not that big but there is an outdoor covered area that you can sit at as well and there is plenty of seats and booths there. Loved the place and can't wait to go back. read more

A healthy option with a variety of food choices on the menu, very health/diet-conscious with alternative options available to cater to your preference. Our server was very intuitive, very knowledgeable of his craft, offered recommendations, very friendly and warm. Price is fair, typical bistro atmosphere, background music volume conducive, don't need to talk loudly just to hear each other. Here's what was ordered: 1. Turkey & Avocado Club: THE BEST by far! Turkey melts in your mouth, seasoning has a distinct delicious flavor 10/10, chef's kiss! Side of sweet potato fries which was cooked well, no ounce of soggy-ness. 2. Rotisserie Chicken (with a choice of either 1/4 or 1/2: this one's on their Favorites Menu and I get why it is. Because the chicken is so soft and tender, seasoned so perfectly, cooked so well, falls off the bone so so yummy!!! Another 10/10! They cook their food fresh, and you can definitely tell they're made out of love. Wish they had more locations, this place is worth a visit again soon! read more

Stopped in just to pick up their mushroom flatbread as it is sensational. Very flavorful and the mushrooms are cooked perfectly. Of course they have many items on the menu but to stop in for a quick delight says something. Well done! read more

My book club loves meeting here because the food is delicious and reasonably priced. I like going here because they have a diverse menu so people with food restrictions can find something. My favorite is their burgers which I ordered (the Portland.....so yummy). The fish and chips is another favorite of our book club. Plus the servers are so pleasant and attentive. Wonderful restaurant which I highly recommend. read more

Like this place a lot. Nice menu, good drinks and very consistent. Cool ambiance and a great place to meet friends

Great place to go for dinner! We started with the pretzel which had cheese and mustard for dipping. The pretzel was good, but nothing exceptional. The candied jalapeño chicken burger was good! Definitely didn't have any spice that I registered. Service was good, the server was very friendly! I also enjoy the side room towards the front, it feels like it isn't too noisy and is well lit. Will go to Truxton's again. read more

Came to Truxtons with my husband and four other friends to celebrate 3 birthdays. This was our first visit and the hostess was quite welcoming. Our waitress was informed and on top of everything. My husband and I shared the Belgian waffle. It came with 2 slices of crispy bacon and 2 large chicken tenders. We added a side of fruit, thinking we might still be hungry. Turned out we had more food than we could eat and took a fourth of the waffle home with one slice of bacon. Our friends had also ordered monkey bread for the whole table. It came with a side of oil, a side of marinara sauce and a side of ranch dressing. Everything was very delicious! One of our friends had the roasted artichoke and loved it. Another had the huevos ranchero and enjoyed it thoroughly. Another had the salmon bowl which she loved. Three of us took leftovers home. Too full to try dessert but plan to come back to try more and save room for dessert and drinks! The decor was welcoming and lovely too. read more

This review is a special SHOUT OUT for Mari ... she's a super part of the waitstaff and we are lucky to have her. She knows her customers, remembers our favorite choices, always has some new Truxton's "news," for us, she's efficient, smart and has a great sense of humor. Hey Truxton's don't ever let Mari leave !! read more

We frequented truxton's in Westchester as they were getting their start. The food then was excellent, but they had to refine their menu to make it scalable. Food is still good, reliable just not the five star locals joint. It started out to be. The food is probably a three 3 and 1/2 star- some items are better than others so I'm downgrading from four stars to three and a half for consistency. Truckston's Torrance is at the base of the PV Hills, nice little location, easy parking until they're crowded and then you might have to park off site and walk a bit. Comfortable interior, nothing to write home about- varied menu, so something for everyone. In my party the latest visit I was able to try the following. The catsu chicken is delicious, salmon bowl really tasty, Chinese chicken salad pretty boring and lacked crunch and some of the ingredients, And some sort of candied jalapeno ground chicken burger was not something I would recommend. It was fair to Midland and not my thing. I had a spicy mezcal pineapple cocktail recommended by the wait person, it was eh. Sounded far more creative and yummy than it actually was. Though we frequent the Westchester location to visit relatives nearby, I think they overall food consistency is pretty similar. They've done a good job of duplicating the location, consistency, but at the expense of their original food quality. It's still a good hangout spot, reliable and for chain- they do a good job. read more

Good service, food was tasty, the established was clean and well kept. No complaints and they have a very, Very extensive menu that would make everyone very happy. read more

I love this place! This spot cooks almost everything from scratch and it's almost universally solid to above average across the menu. Their chicken sandwich and salad lunch special is my go-to, as is the bistro cookie ala mode. Service is always super friendly and feels like a more upscale neighborhood joint. Tried it just a few weeks ago and have already been back 5x! read more

This was my second visit here. I love this place! The food and service is awesome! I love the menu...so many choices, so little time. There is definitely something for everyone, including healthy menu options. Today, I opted for the ahi poke bowl. It was to die for. The tuna was incredibly fresh. The ingredients were heavenly. Ha ha. Admittedly, the bowl had a lot of rice/quinoa, but plenty of the goodies that filled the bowl, too. I completely over ate because I just absolutely loved this dish. As a side note, they used a Sriracha mayo. It did not taste spicy to me and they didn't overdo it on the sauce. It was just the right amount to add flavor to the dish without drowning it/turning it into mush. It was definitely a healthy menu option, but I swear you won't feel like you missed out by choosing this option in lieu of another menu item. I would order this again and again. read more

Everything, food is really good, since the artichoke to hamburgers EVERYTHING. ambiance, and service also very good.

The food was alright, the service was pretty bad. The waitress tried hard, she was just unable to manage her tables. I still left her a 22% tip, because I felt so bad for her. She was nice enough. I wouldn't waste my time or money going back. read more

First time at this location and service was awesome. Everyone is very attentive. I got a burger and I can't remember if it was called the Portland but it was mouth watering! It comes with a side of dipping sauce that pairs perfectly. Can't go wrong with Truxtons. read more

My Mom and aunts have been raving about this place to me for a while now. That my wife and I had to go. We finally did today on Friday around 5:15. We were sat immediately. Our server came to our table very soon after being seated to take our drink order and food order soon after. Service was great. Very attentive. We started with the monkey bread as a starter. Very good. The bread comes with three sauces to dip, ranch, garlic butter, and marinara. My favorite is marinara. I ordered the crispy fish tacos and my wife ordered the curry. We both liked our entrees. Very good. I would order the same thing again. I ordered the banana pudding and my wife had the apple tart. I love banana cream pie so I knew I'd like the pudding. Tasted so good. My wife's tart was also good and tasted like a apple pie. Not a single disappointing thing about this place from the restaurant, service and the food. I would definitely return and recommend. read more

The servers are always so friendly and kind every time I've gone here and the pieces are reasonable. Additionally, they have both indoor and outdoor seating which is a plus. And their food/drinks are delicious and I've never had a bad experience there. Overall I'd say that this a really solid restaurant and that it truly is a hidden gem. read more

A group of friends and family met up at this restaurant.. first time for me but others had dined previously. Because we were a big group, we made reservations. We were sat in the patio area, as soon as you walk in. Overall, the food was delicious.. perfectly seasoned and well presented. We didn't have to wait long and our server was great. They offer a variety of dishes, drinks and a wine menu. I believe they also have Happy Hour. The restaurant was clean as were the bathrooms and good price point. Definitely coming back. read more

Love the food here. I like to sit at the bar. Their drinks are good and pretty strong. My favorite is the loaded tater tots.

Had a nice lunch with friends on the enclosed patio. Ordered the Peruvian Bowl which was tasty but not as advertised. It seemed several items were substituted without disclosure, most notably the pulled pork arrived as chicken, I found no tomatoes, and the quinoa was undetectable. We soldiered on without making a fuss in order to not spoil the gathering. The breakfast sandwiches and burgers were enjoyed. Service was friendly and proper even as our servers rotated. read more

Wonderful place to eat. If you live close I would try this place out all meals came out great and service was awesome. read more

Truxton's American Bistro - Coconut margarita and pomegranate rosemary fizz - New American Near Me - Torrance, California

There was a long line for brunch and I can totally see why. This is bistro or gastropub type food at its finest. Very well seasoned, creative and with a large variety. My favorite dish was the Portland Burger - it sounds simple but the combination of sautéed wild mushrooms, fontina cheese, blend of caramelized & crispy onions and roasted garlic on toasted brioche buns really hits the spot. The French onion soup was not overly salty, as usually is the case. The crab dip was also full of fresh crab and delicious. read more

We arrived around 1pm on a Saturday and were able to get a booth. The hostesses were very pleasant and accommodating. There were three of us and we really liked our food. My omelette was fluffy and the potatoes were perfection with a little char. One guest ordered a glass of water. Water was not brought out for the rest of the table. The parking lot felt a little small, but we all found spaces with no problem. I would definitely return. Breakfast was served until 3pm. Tastefully decorated and the tables are far enough apart so there are little to no conversation barriers. read more
