Local Kitchen, The American Tavern

My experience:Quick seating. Helpful server with relevant recommendations. Excellent food promptly served. Good value. I don't get to write such easy reviews often.My order:Chipotle BBQ Chophouse Burger with tots.Assessment:I'll be going back, and bringing friends. Next time, I'm trying the sea bass.

The homemade Mac n cheese. Top with fried or grilled chicken delish!

Great lunch! Old Fashioned was awesome. Salmon was delightful! Going back for HH.Food: 5/5

Love this find. Unfortunately had no idea this place was there and I have been back twice since. So far everything has been amazing. The nachos, burgers, fish and chips, shrimp dish and pasta. Everything has been solid. The weakest were the wings. Not great. But food is simply delicious. Place has plenty of TVs playing sports and a full bar with plenty of beer and cocktail options. When busy the service can be spotty. But they 're nice and trying their best. Outdoor seating is also an option so you can bring your pup. Located in downtown Torrance which I have noticed a definite resurgence. Btw their website might show a lack of reservations but we just went and were able to get a table with little to no wait. Probably more applicable to large parties.

Great food, great staff. Great place to stop by during the antiques pop up.3 meals 2 drinks 1 starter 80 .
