Native fields is la gem of a location if you love farmers market produce. They source their ingredients from different farmers markets in the are and depending on the season, their menu may change. We went on a Saturday and had made reservations but surprisingly the restaurant was not too busy. We ordered their calamari appetizer, which was more than enough for two people to share. Taste wise, the calamari was perfectly seasoned that you didn't need to use the sauces. The pickled Fresno chilies added a nice sweet and spicy touch to the dish. Off of their entree list, we got the Squid ink risotto and the grilled chicken tocino. The squid ink risotto is the best we have ever had! The rice and seafood were perfectly cooked and not mushy/rubbery. They folded in little tomatoes which helped to cut the heaviness of the cream but also added a nice sweet touch to the savory dish. It definitely was our top dish of the night! The chicken tocino had a nice smokey/charred taste and paired well with the grilled vegetables. We also got a side dish, the garlic mushrooms and it was so good! They sautéed a mixture of mushrooms with garlic and it paired well with the chicken tocino dish. So much umami flavor! We are so happy we got to visit this place. The food definitely lives up to their name. The service was great and on Saturday night they have a DJ playing music. Definitely worth checking out if you're around the area especially as they rotate their menu with the seasonal produce! Note: there is plenty of parking as it's locating in a small shopping center read more

Cute fusion restaurant with a variety of American and Filipino dishes. Some brunch entrees aren't available until 11am, so arrive after 11am if you want access to the whole menu. We tried 4 dishes. All had good flavor and presented nicely. I recommend the bucatini with shrimp, sisig and garlic rice, and the breakfast potatoes were delicious. read more

Sadly I am giving this place 2 stars since there was no service & my guests & I waited about 45mins or so for our meals. Ordered the breakfast plate which was mediocre & was my second choice since I originally wanted French toast, but they ran out. The bacon was soggy & not crispy, I make better bacon at home. The potatoes were crispy & the only good thing on my plate, but the toast was on the hard side. Another reason for the low rating is because I reserved a table on Yelp, but when I arrived my table was not ready yet. As for service what service. The waitress just took our order & dropped off our bill. She did not come by to check on us when we were eating. All in all I definitely will NOT return here. Wait time for my meal was unacceptable when I saw 5 cooks in the kitchen. I was better off going to Wallace Chicken had I known I was going to wait more than 30 mins. Menu selection IMO was limited & price wise was not worth it when the meal was nothing wowing. Had better breakfast at other brunch establishments. read more

Native Fields - Sad soggy bacon - New American Near Me - Walnut, California

Sisig tacos (10/10): Honestly such a brilliant idea. Love how much they packed the sisig and even the tomatoes had such a clean flavor to it Gumbo (10/10) Honestly was afraid it would be too heavy for me considering it is gumbo... but this place made it so light where I didn't feel disgusting. Very well season too and just right amount of rice and gumbo ratio! Tocino (10/10) Amazing it's most popular for a reason! Very generous with the chicken and seasoning has been very consistent ever since the very first time I've visited back during covid! Pandan coconut cold brew (9.5/10) So so good. The flavors blend well together, however, it could use a little bit more coconut milk to it. But regardless this is one of the first pandan coffee where it wasn't overly sweet or disgustingly over strong with coffee read more

Food is delicious and the ambiance is lovely. Great for a place to eat and hang out with friends and the service was good as well.

Delicious food and a charming atmosphere! I've had Native Fields on my radar for a while, but I finally had the chance to visit on a Friday night. The space is intimate and modern, and there was a live musician that evening, creating a lively environment. I decided to order the burger and was pleasantly surprised by how perfectly cooked it was! Everything was delicious, even the ketchup tasted better than what you'd find at other restaurants. read more

Consider making a Yelp reservation to avoid waiting, though it wasn't busy when I visited. The food was healthy and neatly presented, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. I tried the breakfast plate, which was okay. This is a great option if you prioritize fresh, healthy food. There's plenty of parking available. read more

Native Fields - Toast and Breakfast Plate - New American Near Me - Walnut, California

First time here, and drove right past it because we couldn't see the sign since it was covered by the yellow awning for the outdoor dining. There were three of us for a Sunday lunch and we waited less than 10 minutes for a table, nice! Really wanted to try the cinnamon roll since it was recommended by a Yelper but didn't see it on the menu today We ordered pandon coconut cold brew, pistachio latte and chocolate milk. They arrived pretty quick and tasted good. Our entrees: chicken tocino bowl, rock cod red curry, and French toast took about 45 minutes to arrive and the chicken was cold, the curry warm. We let our server know and she offered to get us a plate of hot chicken which was really kind of her. Also, careful you don't accidentally eat ceramic with your rice there was a crack / chip in my bowl. The venue has a very cool brunch vibe and the DJ played some nice hip hop music. Everything tasted good and the staff were friendly but disappointed that the dishes' arrival didn't match their over $20 per plate price. Might return. read more

Visited this past Sunday, around 1:00pm. Had high hopes for Native Fields, but unfortunately, it didn't deliver. I wouldn't recommend making a special trip here for a meal. Place is nothing special. First, the service was disappointing. Even though the restaurant was only at about 30% capacity and had plenty of staff, we sat for over 15 minutes before receiving any attention. When a server finally took our order, guy then vanished--no follow-up whatsoever. It took another 15-20 min for our drinks to arrive, leaving us scratching our heads at the apparent carelessness and disorganization among the staff. The food runner initially delivered the wrong order to our table, and once he realized his mistake, he came back to retrieve the dishes from our table and take them to the next one. I'm sorry, but as a customer, I expect my order to come directly from the kitchen rather than being handed off from another table. When the bill arrived, it came with pre-set tip options of 22%, 25%, and 30%. While I'm more than willing to tip generously when the service is good, these options felt completely inappropriate given our experience wasn't good. As for the food and drinks: * Hibiscus Arnold Palmer: 1/10 $6 * Matcha Latte: 1/10 $8 * Coffee: 1/10 $4 * Pork Sisio with Garlic rice: 5/10 $24 * French Toast: 6/10 $20 * Steak with Fries: 1/10 $45 * Ambience 6/10 (decor is nice and earthy but concept seems to be confusing). Our bill for 2 guests came out to $142 with tip, for tasteless food, bland drinks and mediocre service. A couple of items, like the French toast and pork belly, were just passable, but the rest fell far short of expectations. Overall, this place missed the mark for us, and I won't be returning or recommending it. Would I support it if I were a local or make a special drive from another city? NO read more

*reposting to the correct business because my initial review is not on the main Yelp page* My hubby and I were very surprised by the food here at Native Fields. EVERYTHING we ordered was so good! Not that my hubby and I are hard to please when it comes to food, but for a fusion brunch place, I normally find them meh at best. The Grilled Chicken Tocino Bowl ($23) was beautiful, delicious, and filling. I couldn't finish the bowl on my own. I have seen a few pictures where this looks very sad and bland. I think it really depends on the seasonal veggies at the time when you order. I asked what their seasonal veggies were before ordering, so my tip to you is to check before you get this. It's still pricey for what it is, but this is definitely made with good quality ingredients that are also a decent portion. Pork Sisig & Bagoong Fried Rice ($19) was also good! I love the fusion flavors in this. I wish the shrimp paste was more prominent, but I totally get that they dial it back because it can be very pungent, and not everyone has a palette for that kind of taste. Ricotta Cheese Pancakes ($20) caught my hubby and I off guard. I like pancakes, which is why it is normally hard for me to order a pancake that is $20 because I hate to be disappointed. Pancakes seem so simple to mess up for most people, but I am picky when it comes to pancakes. The Ricotta Cheese Pancakes were perfect! It was browned to a crispy exterior that stayed crispy the entire meal (we shared this where everyone takes a piece throughout the meal). The berry compote was fresh and not too sweet. It went very well with pancake. The pancake was fluffy and not dense. Also, the pancakes were HUGE! My photo does not do it justice. Love the food and interior decoration from Native Fields! I highly recommend it! read more

Make a reservation online to cut down on your wait time--this place gets busy! It's a charming spot with a great mix of sweet and savory options. The homemade pancakes and spam with egg were both unique and delicious, along with their refreshing strawberry lemonade (no refills). Just a heads-up: the menu doesn't allow for modifications, though they're willing to accommodate certain dietary restrictions. There was a bit of a misunderstanding around that at first, but I really appreciated how the managers, Hannah and Sterling, handled the situation. They were quick to talk to me, attentive, and genuinely considerate in resolving the issue, making sure I walked out happy. That kind of customer care really stands out. I'd absolutely come back! read more

We are so happy to have found a great breakfast spot in Walnut. We go here regularly and the safe is always incredible - shout out to Tiff! My husband loves the pork sigsig and you can see the quality with the rotation of sautéed veggies for whatever is best in season. I often stick with the breakfast plate because they make some of the best scrambled eggs I've ever had! The indoor seating is great, and the outdoor option is wonderful when the weather is sunny. You can tell everything is made with quality, and it gives such a cozy homemade feeling. Recommend checking this place out! read more

Came by here after a long work day with one of my coworkers. The waiter informed us about the happy hour and we ordered a few things off of that. The deals were pretty good! The house sangria was really good, next time I come back I would order a pitcher. The fruit they had in it was really sweet as well. Our fault for not reading the menu properly so we originally just got the charcuterie plate and we expected some cheese but saw after it was only meat. So we finished this one and ordered the 3 cheese plate and I am glad we did. It was all really good! They even had live music there as well. Need to come back to try an actual meal and for the pitcher of sangria. read more

What can be better than a diverse menu with 100% locally sourced ingredients, founded by two women leaders? You can't beat Native Fields! I suggested this restaurant for brunch with two girlfriends. It's beautiful located in the heart of Walnut and although it was a bit hard to find in the plaza, it was well worth it! I made a reservation on Yelp the night before just in case and we arrived about 10 minutes late being the latecomers we are. We were told they had given away our table already. We waited about 10 more minutes and another table was ready for us, fortunately! The seating at the booth was nice and comfy but I did wish it was a little more spacious. My girlfriends and I started off with iced lattes all around - wanted a sweet pick-me-up and it did just that! We all loved the flavors. We also got their Farmer's Market Mimosa and my friend said and I quote, "This this is best mimosa I ever had!" I can definitely attest to that. Their mimosa is $15 each but it was made pretty perfectly. It was the perfect sunshine-yellow cocktail to ring in the new year! For starters, we shared their Cheese & Charcuterie Board. It had 3 kinds of cheese, 3 kinds of salami, toast, jam, olives, and cornichons. It was a wonderful starter set, we especially loved the toasted bread. I got the Roasted Pork Belly and Rice Dish with a side of Pancakes. Honestly, I could've just gotten the pancakes since the portions were huge! The pork belly was tender and as flavorful as it can be. The garlic rice had a wonderful warm fragrance that I loved. The presentation was also a bonus since my friend commented, "Wow! Your bowl is so artsy!" haha! To note, I haven't had pancakes in probably over 5 years, I mainly am a waffle-loving kind of gal but felt like pancakes that day. Their pancakes here I think made me a pancake-lover again. Now I can't stop thinking about eating pancakes! Due to the portions, I got to take it home and enjoy it a 2nd time around! My friends ordered the Muffaletta sandwich and a French Toast. They both loved their dish and couldn't finish the big portion. Just more proof of their generous portions here! While the food at Native Fields was delicious, I couldn't help but notice their decor and signage saying their ingredients are 100% locally sourced at local farmers' markets, non-GMO, and pesticide-free. This fact just makes our experience even better knowing that the restaurant creates an environment where it can extend its positive impact beyond the plate to sustainable practices for curating wonderful food. Thank you to the wonderful team members who showed my girlfriends and I a good time, delicious food, and education on the importance of whole foods and supporting local businesses! I am already planning my next trip back! read more

The inside was cozy and the workers were nice. I got the soup of the day and was warm and went well with the grilled cheese I ordered on the side. My friend got a salad and overall we thought the food was okay but needed a bit more flavor. It looks like a lot of people enjoyed the chicken tocino bowl though so if I come back I'd probably order that next time. The tables are on the stickier side too but I think has more to do with the top coat of the table and less about the cleanliness of it though. read more

Definitely recommend doing the waitlist on yelp to save a lot more time! We came on a Sunday for brunch and with our waitlist, we got seated right when we arrived! This place has a big parking lot so plenty of parking spaces. Pork Sisig & Bagoong Fried Rice- This was a fusion dish and very flavorful! The pork was very tender and almost melted with the rice. I couldn't taste much of the shrimp paste because one of the flavors of the veggies overpowered a few bites with a sweet/ sour taste. The egg was cooked spot on! This dish could be shareable as well since it was a decent portion size. read more

Seated quickly, the two servers were great. Food was good, nice live music but was not what I liked.

I've been here several times and have always had a good experience except for one time. Everyone has been kind, courteous, attentive, and just overall great. BUT, Mid-October my friend and I went for late breakfast around 11 I think. There was hardly anyone there. The host was very nice. The waitress that particular day was just either having a bad or just needs a little More training because she had an attitude that made us feel like she did not want to be there and she was not happy that we were there. She was not attentive at all! We probably saw her about twice..She couldn't answer our questions about simple things like the café de oja and if they can serve it cold for example and substitutions on food. Someone else came and told us after'we ordered that they could not do any of the changes my friend asked for. It took forever for the food and my friend's food was still WRONG! And, it took a while for her to get her order back. I was done by the time she started eating. I kept assuring her this isn't normal. Never had that happen to me before. All the other times it has been great! My husband and I have always done breakfast/lunch but really look forward to going for dinner soon! Our servers are always great. Always kind. Always attentive. Great attitudes. Food comes quickly. It's all delicious never had anything bad. The place is cute. Gives that farm to table vibe. Love the selections of wine and other items they have. Love the option of the patio outside on fresh beautiful days. I really can't give them anything less than five because this is a great place. Yeah, That one bad experience happened but all the other visits have made up for it. read more

I ordered Smoked Salmon Toast over the phone while I was looking at the menu on their own website. The menu clearly states that the toast comes with scrambled eggs and avocado. After I went back home, I found that my Salmon toast only came with cream cheese and cucumber. I called the restaurant and the lady told me they have updated the menu with lower price. They may have updated the menu in the restaurant but they did not do the same online. I felt like I was cheated as I am not getting the food I expect. Also, the lady said the new menu is now actually cheaper than before. While it's true that the Salmon toast on the menu is $1 cheaper than the previous one with eggs and avocado, I'm getting much less food. Given that the new menu has been used for over two weeks, I don't know why the online menu is not updated. I won't come back as it does not seem like an honest restaurant. read more

You might be thinking to yourself, another Native Fields review? Haven't you already reviewed this place multiple times? The answer to both questions is Yes. When your wife says this is one of her favorite places you find yourself coming here for multiple visits. I like to think of it as working our way through the menu with each visit. It may surprise you to know we visited here twice in one week, but that's just how it played out. We were on a Stay-Cation and hitting up the favorite spots. We did find a new favorite which is the Hanger Steak! Very delicious and might be my new go-to item the next time the wife wants to come here. I also tried the Grass Fed burger (remember multiple visits in this one review) and some coffee drinks. The pictures are from the two visits combined and not eaten on the same day. The table was a bit sticky but it did not discourage us from enjoying our meal. read more

Been here a few times in the past, and it was quite like how I remembered -- great portions, beautiful presentation, and good food. The place is absolutely beautiful and the decor is minimalist and clean. It's hard to find such a cute place without going into downtown LA. The waitstaff were friendly and they even remade the bread when it came out burnt/over-toasted. The one thing that made the experience go from a perfect experience to an okay one was when I asked for bread and jam to go with the breakfast platter, there was a hidden charge of $2 for a spoonful of strawberry jam (delicious, yes, but would have been nice if we had known that bite would've cost money). Overall, I do still love this place and will know better now to expect additional costs if I ask for jam~ read more
