18 Best American Restaurants near Bolinas

“What a gem of a restaurant! We unintentionally stumbled upon Bolinas earlier this month while on vacation. When the Muir Woods closed due to the government shutdown, we pivoted, and we are so happy we did. Our party of 8, which they so accommodatingly allowed us to spilt into separate tables for 4 adults and 4 tweens, had the best time on their patio. The service was stellar and warm, the atmosphere was friendly and there wasn't a stranger to be found, and the food was even better than both those combined. Thanks to the whole crew for being the highlight of the day.“

“Such fresh good food. I made my own scramble it was beyond delicious!!!“

“Great Food Great Vibe😀“

“Fabulous meal. We were greeted kindly. Staff very attentive. Menu selection was plentiful, both breakfast and lunch. My husband ordered their special hot stone pot with chicken mango. 5 star presentation and so yummy. I had the Hemingway Benny. Again, presentation and taste were 5 star! Portions were more than generous. Highly recommend!“

“Watershed Chef Kyle Swain is the best in Mill Valley!“

“My guy Manny!!! Great bar tender, perfect cocktail, just the right amount of conversation and brings life to the entire bar. Would definitely recommend for taking the edge off after a long day of works hard.

Super clean, welcoming and comforting atmosphere!“

“Amazing Asian tofu salad! Only issue is I carried out and didn’t see that you have to pay extra for them to mix it. That is bizarre and was super annoying but it is truly addictive and my boyfriend couldn’t stop talking about it. I wouldn’t change a thing except the staff was rude and the salad should be mixed without an up charge!“

“Good service and good food“

“I'm from out of town. our team has been here since December 2022 .we have traveled all over san Francisco and surrounding cities within eating and trying new food's. i will have to say i have found the best wings in san Francisco. tried all three flavors and the were cooked just right with awesome sauce. i definitely recommend stopping there. james swanger from liberty SC“

“food is top notch and the bar always manages to overcome being buried!!“

“What a great place to see a rockin dance band. I can’t believe I had never been there before, but I was very impressed by the sound the big old dance floor and pretty much everything. I saw Zepparella there and I would go back to see anybody that had me out on the dance floor. There are not seats for everyone so if you want a seat, you have to get there early.“

“I don’t know why this place has less than 4 stars? We sat outside and ate lunch here after an 8 mile hike from Mill Valley and the food was really good. I had a Benedict #2 with shrimps and crab and a root vegetable hash. Great stuff! They also have a coffee kiosk/bakery and a more casual menu for take out.“

“I'm not an innout fanatic. I like them just fine. Is Habit Burger good? Yes. Love the fact that I can add bacon and all the sauces. I alsoLove the pepper bar. But in terms of price? In-N-Out wins. So value wise In-N-Out wins in my opinion.“

“Best fish and chips I’ve had in a long time. Really cute place to stop. Would definitely recommend it!“

“Best pancakes in Marin. Got to be one of the inspirations for American Graffiti, it is so classic.“
