12 Best American Restaurants in Menlo Park

“Delicious food but maybe not worth the price. Our appetizers came super fast but the main course took a long time and we ordered the seared halibut which isn't a dish that should take a long time. The fried flowered cauliflower was amazing, great acidity in the sauce. The kanpachi was also incredibly delicious, again amazing because of a wonderfully acidic sauce. The halibut was cooked perfectly, the peas were so fresh and felt like popping boba, and the sauce was acidic again. I'm a huge fan of the acidic sauces and did not get tired of it, but that's something to be wary of if you're not a fan.“

“Good food and service overall but a few hiccups for our dinner there: only an outdoor table available (but after asking if any table would become available we got one indoor in 5 min), good-but-loud live music, and no heads up what what we ordered wasn't available anymore.“

“This was our first experience at Flea Street. It was a fabulous dinner. Our table ordered the lamb, pork chop and the short ribs. All three were delicious. The portions were just right, the presentation was lovely, and the server was very attentive. We will definitely be back!“

“Review is for bar. Lovely charcuterie. Could improve bread to meat ratio. Cheese is extra. Unclear what cheese would be on cheese plate. Did not inquire.Couldn't serve us anything from regular menu. Just bar bites. Unfortunate.Seats were heated which are nice except now there's no reason to cozy up with one another.Other food was decent. Forgettable. Charcuterie was the highlight.“

“I’ve come several times for lunch, the food is always great - flavorful and seasonal. I booked a private dinner, and was blown away at the menu, service, creative flavors and atmosphere. One of the best dinners I have had in a decade, 10/10!“

“Wonderful place. Definitely not a place for dining in due to limited space but the staff are pretty welcoming. Order pickup and take it home!Food is awesome. I ordered jerk chicken, goat curry and oxtail. All pretty fulfilling. Some spiciness also for all dishes. So watch out for kids!I thought parking was difficult, but actually pretty fine. I saw people just park randomly on the one way street in front of the store. And it works.Definitely will revisit again.“

“Such a peaceful dining experience, I always enjoy coming here for lunch on a sunny day when I am in town. A little expensive but everything is high quality and delicious. Gorgeous gardens to walk around, feels like you are in Europe! Definitely recommend the salmon salad. There is a parking lot with ample amount of parking spots. I always make a reservation ahead of time.“

“Hadn't been here for a long time. The food was really good and so was the service.We had the fresh spinach mushroom omelet and the full stack of blueberry pancakes. The omelet was really big as the plate was ~11" in diameter. The pancakes were huge as the plate was ~9" in diameter.We couldn't eat it all and took it home.“

“Had lunch here with a friend. He ordered fish and chips and I had the tomato soup with brioche croutons..delicious. And the chicken salad..which was fairly generous serving and included baby tomatoes, and bacon and brie cheese. Parking is easy and service was good and it was relatively quiet and easy to have a good conversation“

“Best F'n cheeseburger I have had in quite sometime. Reasonably priced but like gourmet. You can choose how you'd like them cooked and they do it perfectly. Mine was medium rare and incredibly juicy. Fries were outstanding and you can have a cold beer if you'd like. I heard that the milkshakes are amazing too so maybe next time I will try that.Came on Leap Day after running an errand and it was worth the stop. Would definitely make the trek back to Menlo Park for this gem. Give 'em some love!!Parking: If the parking is full, there are lots incredibly close you can use.“

“Great place for burger and a beer or cocktail. Friendly staff and good specials. Can't beat the old school feel and great food at a reasonable price. Games for kids... Bar area and the incredible staff.Kid-friendliness: Having games for kids to play is rare this day and age. Always great to be able to turn the kids lose I know that they're going to be okay playing and meeting new friends.“

“Came here with my good friend for drinks and appetizers later afternoon. Staff were super friendly and professional - appetizers were top notch and beautifully presented - and found my favorite wines on their list too. Highly recommend it for friends, anniversaries or even business meetings. Wish we had known abt the rooftop…..“
