50 Best American Restaurants near East Palo Alto

“Best place to shop everything for the house: variety, good prices and pleasant environment😁“

“The food, service, and vibe are outstanding. Every dish (we had 13 and shared them all) was distinct and a hit - no misses, from the milk bread to the grilled snap peas to the sesame fritters topped with smoked trout cream to the crispy pork belly to the meaty fat asparagus spears over a bit of flavorful rice porridge to the strawberry soft serve under a layer of delicious foam and over a layer of delicious gel. I could go on. It’s a super-comfortable atmosphere with friendly, professional, accommodating staff. For the number of dishes we ordered and their complexity, the price was reasonable. The only question is, why doesn’t this restaurant have any Michelin stars yet?“

“Chef Marcus’ dishes are full of flavor & fresh ingredients that make for a spectacular culinary experience. 😋“

“Las pastas están buenísimas“

“Great food and fast friendly service. A great place for burgers.“

“Lovely spot. Definitely a bit tucked in and hidden so I think it’s mostly meant to serve the folks in the business park. That being said I found it quite easily with help of the google street view image. The server was a lovely woman, definitely great service! The food was delicious. Quiet space with simple but nice decor.“

“We've known this restaurant for over ten years, and we go there regularly with great pleasure. The real highlight is the decor, of course, with an incredibly interesting and even historical collection from the region! This bric-a-brac is a delight every time, especially for the children.
And the service is really friendly and fantastic!“

“delicious pastrami sandwiches🤤“

“I’ve been coming here for years and the food has been consistently excellent. The crispy chicken sandwich is simple yet delicious and well executed. The grilled cheese and Mac and Cheese are some of the best I’ve had. Service is quick, seating is sufficient and the space is clean.“

“Food was delish. Only issue was bones in my halibut. Beverage Service & table busing slow at times. Had to ask a couple of times for refills. One refill was poured into the wrong glass so soda and ice tea got mixed up but it was corrected. Avocado tempura appetizer was amazing. Desserts were delicious also crème brûlée and chocolate decadent cake. Hubby filet perfect, pizza large. Will definitely go back.“

“They are on Too Good to Go, and I won a bag. I got a duck salad and pastries. I looked at the salad and I was not sure about tiny pieces of bright tomatoes with fatty slices of dark duck meat, feta and chunks of dried figs and I can’t remember all the ingredients but I ate it with Spanish olive oil and organic balsamic vinegar. It was good. I think the tiny triangle cuts out of the edges of tomato slices were well-thought-out because they were bright and flavorful over the earthy cheese, meat and figs. The duck was more of a charcuterie taste. I thought the fat would be wet, but it was dried or smoked or something. It had a flavor similar to a charcuterie chorizo without the spices. The pastry was a cinnamon spiral executed in the French style of layered extra-thin pastry dough. Crispiest crunch outside and chewiest on the inside.“

“We haven’t left the restaurant and I’m writing this review. It’s been years since I’ve come to Country Way and I’m so glad we came here. It feels like stepping into a piece of Fremont’s history, yet the restaurant looks so well maintained.

We got the linguicia omelette, country fried steak, and French toast. Everything tasted so good! The French toast was unlike others we’ve had—it’s like a happy combo of pancakes and French toast. Would recommend getting extra crispy potatoes. Service was quick and so friendly! Thanks Country Way!“

“Great just like my mom’s homemade cooking Carrot cake moist. Good. Coffee. Waiters are Courteous“

“Had a wonderful dining experience at West Park Bistro. The food was incredibly flavorful and the portions were very generous. Service was top-notch—attentive and friendly throughout the night. I also really appreciated the layout; the atmosphere is pleasant and there is plenty of space between tables so you don't feel crowded. Highly recommend!“

“Best place to go after the holidays, nice service, excellent food and very tasty wine …“

“BJ's is consistently good and the service today with Aja T. was outstanding. Our only complaint was that our eyes were bigger than our stomachs, so we brought home a LOT of food. And that's really NOT a problem! Good food, good atmosphere, reasonable prices, a great place for a group, and great service. Love having BJ's in the neighborhood.“

“Wonderful neighborhood restaurant.“

“We got the brioche french toast and the corned beef hash!
The Caribbean french toast sounded really good but I can't eat bananas so I asked them to just add coconut to the brioche french toast. I'd highly highly recommend ordering the french toast that way cuz it was really delicious and flavorful!
The corned beef hash also tasted really good and hit the spot.

Honestly there were so many options in the menu that looked really yummy, so you could order anything and come out satisfied.

Will definitely come again!“

This is definitely the place! Both indoor and outdoor tables are clean and quiet. It’s a good place to catch up with friends and colleagues.“

“Talk of Broadway is an absolute gem and easily one of the most memorable dining experiences in Redwood City. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the warm, welcoming atmosphere — it truly feels like a place that’s been loved by the community for years. The interior has a classic, comfortable vibe that immediately makes you feel at home.

You can really tell that quality ingredients are used, and everything tastes fresh and homemade. Whether you’re ordering a classic favorite or trying something new from the menu, it’s the kind of meal that leaves you fully satisfied.

The service deserves special mention as well. The staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind, without ever feeling rushed or pushy. They take the time to make sure you’re comfortable and enjoying your meal, which makes the whole experience even better.

Overall, Talk of Broadway is the kind of place you’ll want to come back to again and again — great food, great service, and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a solid, enjoyable meal in the area.“

“I go here almost every time I visit Mariners Point. Great food at a good price. My friends and I really like the taquitos, smash burger, chicken strips, and the tater tots. I like spicy food so I always ask for jalapeños on my burger and they put some really good fresh ones. Stop by the bar inside for a draft beer and you have the perfect way to end a day of golfing.“

“This site is my preferable restaurant. Of all restaurants I know I prefere it most. I never miss an opportunity to go to that place. everytime I want to go to a good dinner, this restaurant comes right away to my head. Great and all kinds of food and a large list of dishes.professional team, and good atmosphere. Also, the price is good. I praise this spot with no hesitation.“

“We ate dinner here and it was a good experience. Our server was really attentive and good at her job. We ordered apps and entrees and the food was solid. One app didn't come out correctly and they comped it immediately. The choices were to sit at the bar or a table in the breakfast area, and we sat at a table. It wasn't unpleasant but lacked the ambience of an upscale restaurant. It was a good dining experience.“

“YUM!! This was a delicious meal. I had a spicy chicken sandwich and my husband had a burger, which he said was the best he’s had in a long time. I loved my chicken sandwich. Our fries were SO tasty! I couldn’t decide between the strawberry and chocolate shake and they were kind enough to give both to us. They were both PERFECT!! I liked chocolate better but the strawberry was still fantastic! Great service!!“

“Seniors love La Comida! It's a warm friendly atmosphere where they can get a nutritious meal each weekday. And it's a great way for them to get out and meet people.“
