Truxton's American Bistro

"I love Truxton's! When they first opened in Torrance I ordered Donna's Fish & Chips. They were outstanding! 2 very large fish pieces surrounded by hefty, wonderful French fries. Delicious! Over the years I continued to enjoy them. However, in recent years I noticed a significant change, and not for the better: Their fish gradually declined in size, to where they are about half the size they used to be. The taste of the fish is about the same, but I can't say that for their fries. They are small and skinny. And don't have the flavor I expected. But I continue to eat at Truxton's. Breakfast is incredible!"

"Cute little spot. Came here with no reservation in advance for brunch. I liked my pablos breakfast burrito. I just wished that the burrito itself had a litttle bit more flavor. My partner had the smoked brisket burrito but it was not flavorful enough for him. Overall food came out fast and its a clean establishment. The mocha coffee was really tasty and really woke me up after our hour drive to get here. Free big surface parking lot. Meghan our server was very knowledgable about the menu and friendly."

"Got the chicken club and it was really good. It looked more like a burger than a normal club sandwich. The bacon was thick and crispy which added some nice texture. We also got the shrimp tacos, they were packed with favor which was delicious and somewhat surprising. The food was a little expensive but everywhere is expensive nowadays, for the quality of food and atmosphere I would definitely come back again."

"Their food is wonderful and very tasty, but service is slow. It took them about 20 minutes just to take our order, and then another 30 to bring us omlette and sandwich. Then, when they brought us our bill, I had to literally approach an employee at a bar asking to charge us because no one was approaching our table to pick up the card. And it wasn't crowded at all. Again, this is a great place, if you want to enjoy good food, but when you're not rushing up."

"I am a fan of Truxtons and today I tried the Torrence location. It is very cozy! We chose to sit in the covered front patio which had a nice breeze. Inside was nice too, but darker. It was a beautiful day so we opted to sit where we could have the sunshine come through the window. Kaitlyn, our server was the Best! She was patient and allowed my friend and I to take our time to decide on the many options on the menu. Kaitlyn was very attentive with a smile! I chose the Chicken Tinga Bowl and my friend, the small Truxtons salad with cheese on the side and just lemon wedges instead of salad dressing. She also ordered a side of fruit. My Tinga bowl was very filling, spicy and tasty. The interior of the restaurant has a bar as well as booths and tables. The single unit gender bathrooms are clean and nice. Next time I am on this neighborhood, I will definitely stop in. Truxtons has healthy good options for everyone."
