20 Best American Restaurants in Hayward

“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 😋👍❤“

“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..“

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

“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!“

“Delicious food and wonderful host.“

“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.....“

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

“First time tried their subs. It was very tasty and good quality. Thankful that we have a halal subs close by. Highly recommend.“

“Had the brisket sandwhich based on a recommendation. Not bad. Fries and slaw good too. Glass of soda was huge. we'll eat it again, maybe try dinner.“

“My appetizers were good. My kid loved his food. My food wasn’t good. My steak wasn’t cooked properly/ it seems as if it was steamed and it was extremely chewy. My green beans were overcooked and mushy. But the experience overall was good! Service was fast and my waitress was very nice.“

“Just a quick stop for a good burger and an ice cold coke. The service was great and, unlike Fair, they will let you use the restroom.“

“Good foods , server are friendly“

“Got there shortly after they opened and already had customers. The cook was the only one behind the counter and took my order and got it wrong. The food was small portions, Omelette I asked for Swiss cheese and got cheddar. The food was good and fresh. It was the first time there and wanted to check it out before I brought the rest of my family. Not impressed.“

“Tasty fresh black coffee, peppery refried beans, and the right amount of crispy and soft machaca and eggs.

This quick stop turned into a wonderful family style diner where you can sit back and enjoy your meal and put down your phone for a little while.

The refried beans really tied my machaca plate together. The little bit of spiciness and black pepper pops and it reminded me of bean and cheese burritos growing up.

Stop in for fresh coffee and trust me on the frijoles.“

“I meet up with a good friend of mine. We try to meet for breakfast every Friday mornings. Ihop has a wide verity of breakfasts to choose from. They have a great senior's menu. Because we are regular customers they treat us like family. You order your food and in about ten minutes they bring it to you, nice and hot. Very reasonable prices. The staff who work there, are kind, curtious. and very friendly.“

“We've been coming here for years. They serve breakfast all day. Their ribs are my favorite; ask for center cut for juicier and tender meat. There are plenty of selections for sides and pies for dessert. I definitely recommend this place for ribs. All the staff are friendly, too!“

“At the suggestion of a friend, who grew up here, I decided to drive to Hayward, CA and try a burger place called Val's Burgers. They've been in business since 1958, but like many small Mom & Pop places, Covid restrictions has them almost down and out. They no longer have any dine-in options and will only accept cash.

I spoke with George, the 2nd Generation owner (Val's son) and his daughter. They both had a sad aura about them. Like they're witnessing the last dying breath of a cherished loved one. It broke my heart. Such nice people being run out of business by greedy heartless politicians.

My friend was right, it was the best burger and fries I have had in a very long time. If you're in the area, support these very nice people and have possibly the best burger you've ever eaten.“

“We need a freaking salad bar in Alameda! We used to have 2 sizzlers on the island! Food is great & price!“
