50 Best American Restaurants near Clayton

“Goated restaurant. I would highly recommend“

“It was our first time at The Melt, and Luis made the whole visit feel easy and welcoming. He helped us choose what to try, and his recommendations were on point. The Meltburger was juicy and full of flavor, the Mac Daddy was crazy good, and the Three Cheese Classic tasted like real comfort food. Luis checked in on us, made sure everything came out hot, and you could tell he really cares about the guest experience. Because of him, our first visit turned into a new favorite spot.“

“Great food friendly staffs nice variety menu“

“Really enjoyed eating here. We were seated pretty quickly and the service was great throughout our visit. The food was delicious and everything came out fresh and flavorful. I also liked that the portions were just right and not overly large. Overall, a great experience and I would definitely come back.“

“Great food, great service! Jeff is a stand up guy who makes great food and knows how to take care of his customers! After my first visit, I went back twice more the same week, it’s that good!“

“I am slowly working my way through the whole menu the sea bass was excellent today so was the salmon my friend enjoyed I've had the braised beef and we both had the chicken tenders we will continue to enjoy what is offer especially those new items that just came in. chef Raul and the crew know what they're doing very lovely outing every time“

“I recently visited Crush’d and had such a wonderful experience that I felt compelled to share. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, setting the tone for a relaxing and enjoyable evening.

The cocktails are absolutely outstanding—creative, well-balanced, and clearly crafted with care. The food is just as impressive, with every dish full of flavor and beautifully presented. It’s clear that a lot of thought goes into both the menu and the overall experience.

What truly sets this place apart, though, is the service. The staff particularly Casey consistently goes above and beyond to provide personalized attention, making each visit feel special. They remember preferences, offer thoughtful recommendations, and genuinely make you feel valued as a guest.

It’s rare to find a place that excels in every aspect—drinks, food, and service—but this wine bar does exactly that. I always look forward to coming back.“

“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.“

“We love MSK and have been enjoying family dinners here for a couple years now. It’s kid friendly but fancy enough for foodie parents. It’s family owned and strives to carry local seasonal ingredients.“

“Foods delicious! If you're in the mood for tri tip or a solid burger! Come check these guys out. I ordered a tri tip (aka House Sandwich) and a south western burger with a basket of fries and two drinks. Service was great and the food didnt take more than 15min to cook up. Easy parking right next to 7/11. They also do catering if you're looking for a big event to have delicious food for !“

“Have a good variety to please everyone“

“Sooooo, my husband took me to this place because I’ve never been and wanted a really good burger. It had 4.5 rating so I took a chance. I’m glad I did. When we walked in we were greeted warmly. It’s a hole in the wall vibe but very clean. Our chef was Serena, and boy oh boy did she craft us an amazing tasting double cheeseburger. We even asked for a medium cook and she delivered. We also ordered the onion rings, French fries, and a pineapple shake. These are a MUST!

This place is a definite recommended!“

“I cannot say enough good things about Lettuce in Walnut Creek. Every single dish we have tried has been absolutely fabulous and I do not use that word lightly. The flavors are fresh and vibrant, the ingredients are clearly high quality, and you can tell the team puts real love into what they do. Whether you are going for one of their signature salads, grain bowls, or something seasonal, it always hits that perfect balance of healthy and satisfying. It is one of the few places where eating clean does not feel like you are sacrificing taste. In fact, it is the opposite. You will leave feeling nourished and spoiled. The vibe is modern and inviting, the service is warm and efficient, and everything is just beautifully presented. It has become a go to spot for our family, especially when we want something fast but genuinely delicious. Highly recommend for anyone in the Walnut Creek area or passing through. Lettuce is doing something special and it shows in every bite.“

“I always have fun here! Comedy night was a blast! Thank you!!! Please have more waitresses next time for the show! 😁“

“Just a local diner, but a good one.Service is friendly and competent, food is good and mostly fresh. You aren't going to write home to mama about the decor, but it's pretty clean. All in all, a really good neighborhood joint for breakfast or lunch. Great omelets!“

“An array of selections at a very reasonable price and very generous portions. I ordered the Garden Omelet; It was delicious. My daughter ordered the same. However, she chose scrambled eggs. Hashbrown and bread were included. There was also strawberry and grape jam at the table. Coffee was also superb. See photos.“

“In Concord for this years.. How High Can You Shoot Archery finals between One Eyed Jack Yodder the local boy, and Wonderful Wally Whiteshoes Johnson, Oaktown's favorite. This year's event is being held at the junior college track field where the finalists will be shooting their arrows straight up into the air and then running as fast as they can to a presumably safe place! After last year's fiasco crowds will be limited to the bleachers, so they recommend coming early. It was quite the sight and pretty Spectacular to watch those first responders in action! But...not as spectacular as the sandwiches I had from the North Park Deli...The hit the Bullseye 🎯
5 ☆☆☆☆☆'s for sure!“

“Love the food and the place. Worth a drive❣️. Kind people too.“

“I always have fun here! Comedy night was a blast! Thank you!!! Please have more waitresses next time for the show! 😁“

“Stopped in for breakfast. I had the San Francisco omelette with egg whites, country potatoes and sourdough toast. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. I highly recommend especially when you don’t want to go the Denny’s and IHop route.“

“Great service and good food and over 4000 beers“

“Fast and friendly, family type atmosphere. We loved it.“

“I've been eating here for years. I love the expanded menu, but the food is just not as good as it used to be. The Tri-Tip used to be really exceptional. Lately, it's been fatty and just ok. The grilled chicken breast was also not as flavorful as before. You get the feeling they are either cutting corners or not caring as much anymore.“

“Great ambience except for dogs all over barking. No discipline.“

“For a hole in the wall little breakfast spot I’d have to say is amazing, this places Mexican\American style plate hit the spot! The staff here are very friendly and accommodating.
The food is very flavorful, I ordered the chorizo breakfast burrito something you can’t really mess up for something so simple and this did not disappoint! The red potatoes on the side seasoned very well!
Definitely a place worth checking out!“

“Great food and atmosphere for celebration“
