46 Best American Restaurants near Castro Valley

“Good atmosphere and a good beer selection. Great food but can be pricey. Great breakfast Friendly staff. Can get a little noisy in the bar but that's to be expected. Always a good experience.“

“Good food and service, ambiance a bit sterile, could be warmer with for instance some background music like the standards (Sinatra, Holliday, Martin, Bennett). When we first arrived the restaurant had only a few guests and the room was too quiet, like a library and felt a bit awkward.“

“Stacey and Simon know their beers.“

“Service was exceptional and good was delicious!“

“I had called in my order the lady who took my order was very well spoken she repeated my order so they would get it correct. It was ready when I got there I recognized the lady's voice and ask her for the manger she told me she was the manager on duty. She asked me if there was something wrong with the order.I told I just wanted to let her boss know how pleasant she was talking to something about her voice . She said thank you and asked me if there was anything else she could do for me . I stop coming to this location because of the service but decided to give it another chance because I live so close. Joan made me change my mind about it so for the last 2 months I have been coming every week. Great employee. I only go in there when I know she is working.“

“Visited Crush'd for my birthday and it exceeded expectations! The atmosphere was great and you can tell the everything is well thought out, from the decor to the tableware.

We both went with a wine flight and had excellent recommendations from Jamie. Decided to splurge on the sturgeon caviar and it was served with the perfect accoutrement, highlight of the evening. Our server Shane recommended the duck fat potatoes (the Aioli was mindblowing) and Wagyu Tartine, both were fantastic!

Cannot wait to go back, 11 out of 10!“

“OMG this place is good! I’m usually not excited about a grill but do get excited about cheese and boy does this place have cheese in spades!

I got the MeltBurger because I couldn’t resist the oozing cheese in the picture. The burger looked just like the picture and tasted amazing! Juicy and full of flavor!

My wife got the Mac Daddy which, honestly, doesn’t really sound all that doo - carbs on carbs but it was SO GOOD! A great cheesy flavor and then bacon to boot. Yummy!

We topped our meal off with the garlic parm fries that were perfectly cooked and generous amounts of Parmesan on top and garlic throughout!

I highly recommend.

My apologies for the pictures - I couldn’t wait to start eating!“

“Great food friendly staffs nice variety menu“

“Good food, lively atmosphere.“

“Went Late. Was looking for meatloaf dinner (Hard to find these days). Was not disappointed. Huge portions and the price was right. Enough food for 2 more meals for me. WILL DEFINITELY BE GOING BACK. Wait person very friendly and accomodating.“

“They have a bar now that I dont recall last time I was in. We hold our yearly Veterans breakfast meeting here. Staff is always friendly and accommodating. Being its a golf course restaurant you get the occasional tee time announcement over the speakers.“

“I LOVE PIES & was HAPPY to find out out about this place! I tried 4 of them: Beef Pot Roast, Chicken Artichoke Pesto, German Beef & Mushroom, & All American Chicken. Thumbs Up to the Perfect Crust & Flavorful stew Fillings. Look fwd to trying many more 😋👍❤“

“Super relaxed place with insanely nice staff and delicious food and full coffee bar. I got the sunrise scramble with chicken and it was amazing by itself, but then I added the hotsauce they have made someone local, and it just elevated an already delicious dish. Caddy corner from San Leandro BART (right across from the Wendys) so super convenient for commuters if you know its there. Its tucked away so if youre not looking youll miss it. Its worth seeking out!“

“The mushroom steak hoagie with onion is my favorite. The steak was seasoned and cooked well.“

“They have good breakfast like the lumberjack slam which is my favorite.. I have been eating at Dennys since I was a kid and I love their food yummy..“

“Friendly, attentive service. Perfect fish and chips, (crunchy batter, soft, moist fish, un-soggy fries), paired great with a double IPA. Cobb salad was loaded, and very fresh. Iron Horse Trail proximity gives biking and walking options, but there's plenty of off-street car parking.“

“Been on road trip from Texas for a week definitely the best we’ve had so far. Fantastic food and service.“

“Great local eatery with delicious beers and wonderful taps. Joe, the owner, is one of the most sweetest guys you’ll ever meet. Highly recommend!“

“Does not appear to be what I expected after finding them on Yelp. Just didn’t seem to be what I had pictured in my mind. Nonetheless, food came out quickly and it was hot and tasty.“

“Loved our lunch today ! Bison stew with fry bread and bison meatballs. Hibiscus tea was awesome. Staff was so incredible. Busy and very full today. Great atmosphere.“

“Delicious food and wonderful host.“

“The Good:

This place has excellent food! The tuna sandwich was phenomenal and the eggs benny were pretty good! The coffee is fresh, hot, and delicious. Service was quick, and the food came out exactly on time. The ambiance is pretty good, with decent decor and clean surfaces.

The bad:

The service is... mixed. The waitstaff are not very outgoing but that's hardly a concern. They do check to make sure things are in stock and that means a lot.

The ugly:

Breakfast ran $50 for 2, so it's not cheap eats. But for a special treat, totally worth it!“

“Oh my!!!. One of the best Bacon Cheeseburgers myself has had in a long while!. Love this Emil's Burger & Breakfast!!!. GO!!! JALAPENOS!!!.“

“Clean restaurant, Gluten Free options, friendly customer service. Was welcomed upon opening the entrance (the two ladies knew me lol). Our waitress was very friendly and kind checking in with us regularly. The fisherman’s stew and crème brûlée was delicious. 10/10“

“we love the vibe, service and menu at GLK on Grand and have been going there for years. On our last visit we were surprised by how salty the food was. I think the cooks are overly generous with salt. Both our brussel sprouts and the scallops were really over salted. Next visit we will be sure to order low/no salt, and send back anything that's too salty.“

“Tried this place yesterday at OTG: Fort Mason. After eating a bunch of other unsatisfying food I just wanted one chicken tender no sauce. Yes one chicken tender. There was a bit of a wait but I was so happy after eating.It was juicy, flavorful and the breading was well seasoned and had a nice crunch to it. The service was friendly and even they still offered me sauce during my pick up. They probably thought wth, but that is truly what I just wanted haha. Anyways try this place!“

“Excelente atención como en familia y muy rica la comida 👍“

“Ive been to the food truck & the storefront. The food consistency is the same at both! The meats are flavorful and they have a nice menu selection. Definitely recommend the steak & shrimp fries & also the cheesesteak egg rolls. The steak hoagie is also good (taste similar to the egg roll so cant go wrong).“

“Absolutely love everything we have tried here! Friendly staff and always super clean! Always leave full, satisfied, and happy.“

“Great food!“

“Hotel clean. I seen more housekeepers here then I have even seen at any hotels recently. Everyone was beyond helpful. The courtyard and pool area was clean, quiet, and safe. Fencing is around entire area of the hotel. Beds super comfy, great air conditioning.Only downfall was we traveled with a disabled adult and few times we noticed handicap parking was being used by someone that did not have a handicap permit in/on their car.“

“Absolutely delicious! The steak with mushroom gravy melted in my mouth, and the mashed potatoes were perfectly creamy. Special thanks to our amazing waiter — the guy with the eyebrow piercing — he was on point: friendly, fast, and just awesome!“

“Wonderful customer service. Friendly and fast. This charming nostalgic diner caters to classic American comfort foods.“

“I hardly ever leave reviews, nevertheless I couldn’t help but to notice I agreed with a lot if not most of the reviews. First and foremost it is a great local bar the atmosphere and the vibes are great. You always feel comfortable and welcome by anyone ever there. I do have to acknowledge, however that the service sometimes can be slow and sometimes it takes me a good 5 to 10 minutes to be acknowledged while at the bar for a drink. I think this would be my only complaint. for some reason service sometimes for a drink can be a little slow. I must admit the bartenders here are some of the best. The cocktails are always tasty and delicious and I like the attitude they all greet me with every time I come. My favorite bartenders here happen to be JOSE and ERIC 👌🏾👌🏾“

“Came here to celebrate this summer and had Nick as our server, returned tonight and asked for him again! He’s absolutely the best 👍🏻 great food, great location and fantastic service, just ask for Nick!“

“muy buen servicio y el personal muy atento como trailero para en barios pero este es muy bueno“

“Clean, pleasant restaurant with old-fashioned decor, fairly-priced food, and good service.This is located inside Oakland Airport Executive Hotel. The full menu is available from opening to closing. There was only one person working to take orders, cook, and serve food and drinks. One person seemed to be enough though; it's not a popular place. There were only two customers when I visited this place in the evening, including myself. Everything on the menu sounded good, and the one other customer who was there was complimenting the food after every other bite, exclaiming that the eggs were just how he liked them and that the sandwich was perfect.I only wanted a little bit of food, because I had eaten before coming to this hotel. I ordered a side of fries to-go so that I could take it to my room. I was expecting a small container, but after five minutes of waiting, I received a full-size to-go box of fries that came with plenty of napkins and ketchup. My total was $6.62 including tax. The receipt said the fries were $6, but the menu said $5. I didn't bring it up because I got a large portion, but remember to check your receipt.This restaurant is the best part of this hotel, which isn't saying much, but I recommend checking this place out before you open a food delivery app, if you're staying at this hotel.

“I had an absolutely delicious lunch here in the round house at 2600 Camino Ramon. My sandwich came with a huge delicious side salad and what seemed like homemade potato chips and a cookie! The ambience there is fabulous and I can’t imagine anything better for lunch in this area.“

“Yummy delish cheese steak sandwich“

“So I am always on the prowl for good breakfast joints. This is one of my new spots. I got the corn beef hash two eggs over medium sour dough toast and a cup of coffee. Meal was satisfying and to my surprise it came to just under 20 dollars with a tip. I was extremely pleased and even more happy the place is close to my house where I can pop in and get an inexpensive meal cooked right. Cornbeef was not super oily and the over medium eggs were cooked with no runny whites. Did not even need to ask for hot sauce as she brought it out with out being prompted. Service was good, place was kinda clean but not a concern for me. Good experience, and definitely a place I will visit again.....“

“chicken fried steak eggs over easy hash browns and biscuits going to try their omelette next“

“My fiancé & I decided to try something new on a random Saturday morning. We were pleasantly surprised to find Katy’s Korner was clearly a staple of the community & for good reason. The food was top notch, the service was exceptional. The quality of kindness in each & every employee we interacted with was just what we were looking for. I highly recommend this place.“

“There food is delicious. Called my order in 25 min early and It just took five min to wrap and give me enough sauce to eat it with. I had snapper and catfish combo it was Smackin. Great food does take time. I like to get my food in 10-15 min but at least it's fresh. The restaurant didn't have many people dining in, they were stopping in to order and coming back to pick it up though. There deserts were amazing looking and the workers at Jjs were really nice and called me sweetheart.“
