American Host Restaurant - The Figueroa - Diners Near Me - Lompoc, California

American Host Restaurant has survived the test of time, serving great food with small town hospitality. From breakfast's worthy of the hungriest ranch hand to strawberry waffles piled high with whipped cream and fresh strawberries (in season) to a more modest breakfast or lunch it's sure to please. What's also wonderful about American Host is the wonderful diversity of their customers and that you will soon find friends among that gang. Awesome for breakfast and lunch, unfortunately (and understandably ) not open for dinner most every day other than major holidays. Inside tables, counter and outside table service. Great for kids. read more

What is there not to love about a big American breakfast. A weekend staple i would say. American Host provides just that with an ensemble of American breakfast dishes we are all too fond of. Ordering their dishes to go does not take away from the goodness either. One of the best restaurants in Lompoc for sure. read more

Best in town, good service good food. Only place to eat a good meal for breakfast and great all American atmosphere.

Great place for breakfast before wine tasting. Delicious food, big portions, great service. I love my diners, since I grew up in Jersey and this one is now one of my favorites on the west coast. Ordered corned beef hash and biscuits and gravy and shared with my husband. read more

Open daily until 2:00, serving good, traditional breakfast and lunch. Their breakfasts can't be beat. The best in town. Lunches are good as well. Their biscuits and gravy, waffles, and homemade soups are all my favs. The servers are all friendly and efficient. The best "diner" in Lompoc. read more

American Host exemplifies all that is a quaint, rustic, mom and pop style restaurant. The decor is farmhouse and vintage. It's a little nostalgic. The dining area is small and feels a bit crowded but being sat was quick, and the service was good. The food is phenomenal. I had the French Toast, Eggs, Bacon and Biscuits & Gravy. Everything came out steaming, but not too hot to eat. I really enjoyed the way they scramble the eggs and the portions were perfect. I was under the impression that the coffee was complimentary as the cups were already on the table when we were sat. I was not warned it was at cost, and was slightly disappointed to find the extremely low grade coffee was priced at nearly three dollars. But aside from that, and the lack of space I really enjoyed my visit. read more

American Host always aims to please! Good food, good service and reasonable prices.

I found American Host because of Yelp! I was looking for a good breakfast spot to eat at in Lompoc. Wow! What a great find!! My companion and I came here early on Sunday morning around 9-10 am. It was worried there would be an hour or so wait, but we were lucky enough that the restaurant wasn't too packed. After we finished eating however, there was a few people waiting for tables! Anyway, when you get to your table, there are already coffee cups there for everyone in case you want coffee. If you do, you turn your coffee cup over. We were waited on fairly quick, I ordered the French Toast with sausage and eggs. We also got the Banana waffle special of the day which came with Bananas, caramel, walnuts, and whipped cream $8ish. Both dishes came out fast, both dishes were excellent. The sausage was well made and they were thick and juicy. The eggs came out well, and I liked that the French toast was made with cinnamon raisin bread. You have the choice of either having it with cinnamon raisin and some other type of bread but I forgot what it was... but getting it with raisins was good to chop on while you dipped it in butter and syrup. Now the banana waffle, it was amazingly good, so good I wish I had ordered it myself so it could be all mine. The walnuts added the perfect amount of crunch to the banana and waffle combination and the caramel and whipped cream made it perfect. What a great dish if only I could have it again. I would have ordered it myself, if I didn't always want eggs and meat with my breakfast. Luckily I didn't have to order it, but I could take bites out of it. Several BIG bites, in exchange for bites off of my meal. A great trade-off. read more

Great old school cafe, I have only visited for breakfast but many friends love their lunch menu as well. Hash browns are awesome. Veggie omelet is huge you will not be hungry after breakfast. If you are really hungry get the garbage pail omelet - you won't believe how big it is. All the staff is friendly. Long lines on the weekend as everyone loves the place read more

I've never had a complaint with American Host... Excellent service, compassionate servers, beyond great food, and such a friendly atmosphere. For a "hole-in-the-wall" establishment, it is among the best of the best. It's just always a wonderful experience and so grateful to have it here in town so close by!!!! read more

Cute little cafe style food. The service was fast and friendly. Perfect for a low key morning.

1/13/2019 Sunday 9:30 am, the wait was about 10 minutes even though quoted 20 minutes, which was good . This place seems popular as people were waiting outside even in the cold weather. The restaurant was packed. We were greeted by a friendly host , after only waiting 10 minutes, we were seated in a nice booth tucked away in the corner which I like. Drinks and food were brought out quickly, our waitress was very pleasant and attentive. French toasts were really good , crunchy on the outside and fluffy inside. Came with four pieces of sausages and they were tasty , moist and not dry. read more

We were traveling to Santa Barbara from Santa Clara and stopped at Lompoc for the night and decided to try this place for breakfast. And what a great experience this has been! This is an authentic American restaurant with two separate sections - old and a new addition. I am guessing this is an old restaurant that was initially on the right side of the entrance and later got expanded into the newer space on the left. We were a party of two and reached the restaurant around 8:45 am and the parking lot was already quite full and we had to wait a while after putting our names at the reception. Most of the other customers looked regulars at this place and seemed local with us being the only tourists passing through the town. We got our table after 10-15 minutes. The place was quite jam-packed but we had our own sweet niche and loved the table that we were assigned. We ordered a light breakfast with omlette and ham and a 2-egg omlette with ham, cheese and mushroom with hash browns. The food arrived within 15 minutes and the plates were delicious. We loved the small American flags on the food (see pics). The portion sizes were perfect for us and quite in line with the prices being charged. We really had a great start to the day with breakfast at this place and I highly recommend to try out this place. read more

American host is the best cafe around and surely a Lompoc staple. I have been coming here since I was a little kid. Iv lived and traveled to many different places but this American cafe stays my favorite. The food is consistently delicious, the place is clean and welcoming and it has been that way for many years. Expect to wait for a table if you come on the weekend. read more

This place is excellent. Only been here twice, new in town, and it is the go to for breakfast and lunch. The CFS , garbage pail omelette and Belgium waffle are all top notch. Had the pastrami sandwich today and it's pretty much the best pastrami sandwich I have ever had. That BLAT my daughter had was also delicious. Plenty of bacon and avocado. We'll be back. read more

This is really one of the best breakfast spots on the central coast. Two suggestions: 1. If you are headed here on the weekend, DEFINITELY expect a wait. Either that, or make sure to arrive extra early (this especially applies to Sunday before church services are out) 2. Add a waffle to your order and thank me later read more

This is a local gem and an obvious choice when go out for breakfast. Staff are incredible and super nice. We always enjoy our meals and their breakfast burritos are so fulfilling read more

Absolutely fell in love with this place. It is a must every time I come to visit my sister. Everything we have eaten here and shared along with the family has been really good! But my go to is the chicken fried steak with the yummy southern style white gravy. My niece gets the ham steak every time and it has a nice cut on it too, not a thinly sliced one like other places usually have. When it comes to the waffles we've tried lots of varieties, ALL have been awesome, but my favorite is whatever fresh fruit of the season they are offering at the time. Everybody there has been super friendly, its outside seating due to COVID but its nice and spaced out and good for a family because our island family is never less than 8 people ;) Mahalo for the great food and friendly service! Especially during these special COVID times. read more
