American Restaurants near El Cerrito

“Great service and great food. Fast and friendly. I loved it!!“

“Always comfortable with good food and friendly staff. The main problem with Fat Apples is that you have to walk past huge pastry cases loaded with house-made pastries, cookies and pies. The specials are great. My favorite specials are the chicken schnitzel with their sublime spaetzel ( I've yet to encounter other such delicate spaetzel in the area) and anything with their salsa verde. You'll walk out satisfied and probably carrying a bag of those insidiously displayed cookies. Or a pastry. Or a pie.Vegetarian options: There's vegetarian pizza if you get there early enough. All salads can be made vegetarian and vegan, on request. Breakfast selections include a great garden scramble, which can be made vegan if you request no cheese.Parking: Parking can be difficult on a weekend morning. Popular place.Kid-friendliness: This is a favorite place with families. The menu is easy and inviting for kids. It's not unusual to see big family groups of multiple generations. People bring their kids for meals after they finish their kung fu lessons across the street. You just have to get the kids past the cookies.Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible with ramps, flat surfaces, large restrooms with safety rails.“

“Visited when I went stopped by the area to go look for a store. It was a nice and cozy IHOP resteraunt in the corner of a strip mall. The person who served us was polite and overall enjoyed sitting down on a nice rainy day. I ordered eggs, sausage, and any pancakes of my choosing. I chose the (strawberry banana one, of course). It was so soft and delicious with the whipped cream, adding a nice touch. Like most IHOP places I've been, there were only the original syrup flavors, but then again, I'm not sure if I have to ask for the iconic flavors myself. Overall, 10/10. I'm stopping by again when I come back to El Cerrito.Parking: Plenty of parking in the small strip small.Kid-friendliness: Plenty of items to choose from for your child.“

“I like the Service very nice“

“Vibe is great; wouldn't consider it anything super fancy, but a nice place for a normal date night. Food was SUPER good! Portions were bigger than expected and everything was bursting with flavor. Service is very accomodating to allergies. Will say, service could have been better, but I'm a tough judge to crack, so I won't put it past them. Highly recommend!“

“We appreciated the concept of using the dim sum style roving carts. The service was very efficient, helpful and personable. The ambiance and vibe was very lively and fun, but the noise level was high so, for some elders, it made conversation difficult. The variety of dishes were creative and fun to try. Since this was our first time at the restaurant, our picks from the roving carts were sort of pot luck so some dishes we loved and others, not so much. I think it would take another visit or two to figure out what to say "yes" to and what to say "no thank you" to, for our tastes.“

“Friends here visiting and found this gem of a place! Best thing is we didn’t have to go far! Food was delicious!“

“I had a great time during my last visit to The Progress while my parents were in town visiting. We tried: dumplings, artichoke toast, seaweed noodles, lamb and the classic duck. The dumplings were our least favorite - it was a bit heavy and not as flavorful at the same time. I'm generally just okay on artichoke, but I surprisingly really enjoyed the artichoke toast. The lamb was tender and flavorful. I also loved the umami flavors in the seaweed noodles and thought the springy texture of the noodles were just right! Our duck was great as well, which is their signature dish - highly recommended! For drinks we tried the one punch man and spiritual state. We like both drinks! I am a sucker for trying milk washed cocktails and am also a sucker for pandan, so I loved my one punch man drink - the pandan was strong as well! We accidentally spilled the whole one punch man when we were first trying out the drink and our server was so kind to replace our drink. Lastly, because we were celebrating an occasion, we were each given a shot of complimentary peanut milk! It was a bit sweet though - not something I would order on my own. Anyway, a great experience overall!“

“So excellent food! The food didn't disappoint me and it was really fantastic. The overall quality was so good. Came here for dinner with my husband. Can't remember the name of the food we ordered but we actually have some pasta, salads, and meat too. Dessert was so superb and well-done. The appetizers were really delicious. They lots cocktails. The wines were taste so amazing. The service was so nice. The place has classy vibe inside. Great interior setting with a nice decor. Nice service.“
