13 Best American Restaurants in Emeryville

“Really nice place. The food is really good and nice big portions. The servers are really friendly and the cook (Nayeli) is amazing and super accommodating with our order.“

“The server was really nice but tables were really sticky, bathroom was dirty and they were sadly out of everything on tap, I had to get a bottled beer, they were also out of the bottled beer I chose, so I had to change that too. Probably won't be going back to Hidden Spot/Hometown Heroes.“

“Chinatown can be a daunting place to dine in San Francisco due to its vast authentic cuisine which is unlike anything outside of China itself. I don’t speak or read any of the dialect, but somehow managed to order food and drink that was delicious. I’m pretty sure that we created much amusement for the other diners who were rather interested in the ‘foreigners’ selections. Hey, we’re tourists from the UK enjoying our adventures and are used to ridicule thanks to our lousy corrupt government, it was no big deal. Chinatown, great cuisine in very different surroundings. Highly recommended.“

“great service and hospitality love there food will always come back .“

“We had dinner there tonight (3/14/24) for the first time and we will be back. Two of the most interesting and truly delicious sandwiches we have ever eaten. I can't remember what mine was called, but it had chicken (roasted perfectly), sauerkraut, cheese and other awesome stuff on a grilled rye bread that was excellent. My bride had the turkey sandwich and loved it. But the star of the show were the Tater Tots. Perfectly crisp with BBQ sauce to dip them in and then into some wonderful real bacon bits. Every tot stayed crisp from the first to the last. The meal was worth every penny and more. Get into the Alameda location and try it. You won't be sorry. PS: The only bad part for me is that we live in Seattle and won't be back down until May. But you can bet I will be eating here then.“

“The atmosphere is amazing. It's a combination of cozy and white table cloth.

Just enough menu selections to have something for everyone . Not sure about a kids menu, I didn't see one.

Meatballs and pasta were very good. Nice wine selection as well as a healthy selection of bourbon and other spirits.

Great place for a date night or watching a game. They had a TV at the bar with a game in when we were there.“

“Romantic atmosphere. I am happy to check in here.“

“Dennys and Jen Curtis as our waitress she was terrific chicken fried steak n eggs my favorite it was delicious. Jen was very pleasant her service outstanding we will be back“

“Best diner food in the East Bay. Live music on second Friday of the month 6 to 8:30pm.“

“Great “mini” burger but mini is a misnomer“

“I admire this restaurant! They provide good meals, their menu is decent, The chef in that spot is well trained, I like a lot tasting all their dishes. The food is consistently good, the attitude towards the clients is good. I often go to this place and I not even once was disappointed. I recommend it with no hesitation.“

“Great service! Attentive, friendly and hospitable! The food was fresh and delicious. Pool table was good and the place was spacious. Clean bathrooms. My comments are, gotta have a bigger alcohol selection or at least offer what you have on the menu. For a Friday night I think the lovely lady attending to everyone from check in, bar tending and serving did a great job all be herself! You are lucky to have her. This is coming from a small business owner that knows all the struggles. When my people call out, I am there to cover so Please get her some help ;-)
Another thing to note is the security guard was just wonderful in helping us find a space to park our van and great attitude in keeping it all safe. We had a wonderful time and will be back for sure! Thank you for the hospitality and great vibes!“

“First off this has been at this location for years and it’s definitely time for some of the booth back cushions to be replaced. I went here for breakfast on 11/2/24 and our waitress Carla was absolutely awesome. I think the location was short staffed and I have to admit Carla was working her butt off providing great service to all the patrons she was assigned all over the whole restaurant. She stayed smiling and was still attentive to us and that’s really cool and she was in costume. The food was really good and came out pretty fast due to the place having lots of folks. Only thing you gotta watch out for is the pricing on the Build Your Own Omelette. Each thing you add is 3.00 on top of the 15.00 omelette price and at most other Iphop it’s only 1.29 for each ingredient added.“
