Restaurants in Martinez

“The best biriani I've ever had!”

“honestly this place was such a good find. i got their pad thai and it was perfectly saucy and not dry at all. the iced coffee was strong just how i like it, not watered down. the guy working was super nice and even asked if i wanted extra spice. i’d drive back out here just to eat here again.”

“Hands down the best restaurant in Martinez. I travel from Vallejo to enjoy the Salmon and steak hibachi. The staff are so kind and friendly. The dining area is always spotless. I highly recommend you come here if you’re looking for a good quality meal!!!!”

“We had a great time at the California Magic Club! It’s an intimate and accessible environment, comfortable atmosphere, friendly folks who work there, and very talented and personable magicians — including the owner, John Gardenier. We went for an afternoon show, and experienced an hour prior to the show of fantastic close-up magic at our table by 3 magicians. It was a wonderful personal touch on par with the subsequent show. We will definitely be going back and recommending to friends and family. The venue and content are appropriate for youth to seniors. It was a lot of fun and definitely kept us guessing. Recommended!”

“This is one of my very favorite restaurants in Martinez. I love the window seat when I can get it. Love the charming privacy it lends itself too. The service is amazing; especially if you get Darlene! She is friendly, efficient, clearly loves what she does! You are greeted as if your a long lost friend! The food is so fresh and very tasty. I've never had a bad meal in this place. They bring free bread with a balsamic dip to the table that is so good. I could drink the dip. Lol. Their CHINESE CHICKEN SALAD, DELUXE DUNGENESS CRAB MELT, GEMELLI PASTA WITH ROASTED SEASONAL VEGETABLES, AND THEIR COASTAL LINGUINI, (I substituted with chicken.) are some of my favorites. All theirs food is off the hook! Their prices are just slightly higher than the average; however, their food is great quality and they give a huge portion. They have live music on Friday and Saturday evenings. I've not been there on those nights. I feel quite confident that it just adds to the already charming atmosphere.

Just love, love, love this place.

If you only have one place to eat at in Martinez, this is it!

“Good food. Good selection of breakfast, lunch or dinner foods.
Reasonably priced. Lots of parking. Went for early lunch and it was really busy. Highly recommend.”

“Went there yesterday and we had a great experience. Service and food was excellent! Highly recommend!”

“This was absolutely incredible! I am a big nigiri fan and have tried many different restaurants and in the Bay Area this is my new favorite place. The assortment of nigiri was awesome and the quality was so fresh. I also tried a couple rolls too and they were hella on point. The staff made the experience very comfortable, and they were very accommodating. I am stoked to have been recommended this place and will be back soon!”

“The food is excellent and employees are friendly and professional. We had a very pleasant time.”

“I am so glad we changed up and went to Aberdeen Cafe! The flavor of every item was incredible. Absolutely delicious! Service was a bit weak and not many changes inside from the restaurant before but the tasty meal far exceeded our expectation. Two thumbs up. We will definitely return.”

“Great atmosphere and beer.. good spot for families before 6. The food is a bit overpriced for the quality. they swapped homemade chicken tenders for Frozen recently which tasted like cardboard. but otherwise solid place, just the food menu is my only gripe.”

“DELICIOUS food, good price, patient and welcoming staff who answered all my questions, clean place. I heard about this place from a local and she said you can never go wrong with “cinco de mayo”, now I see why, I’d come here everyday if I could. Thank you to all the kind staff❤❤ Also amazing salsa and horchata, all green flags from the start!”

“We often get items from this shop. It’s close to where we live . All their products are 👍 😍”

“About the best thing in Martinez.. not counting the Glorious Gals of Hilda's Pleasure-O-Rama out on Hardback Ave is the soon to be world famous Lucia's Craft Sandwiches! I was in Martinez dropping off the Spindler's Rotomiser for my 48 Pearson Applehorn to the boys over at the Monkey Ass Garage because they claimed they could realign the wobbler shaft without tearing it up. Well, I had some time to kill so I went straight to Lucia's Craft Sandwiches and had some pretty spectacular sandwiches.
5 ☆☆☆☆☆'s for sure!”

“I stopped in at Sourdough sandwich shop for the first time. I had a Italian flatbread pizza and it was scrumptious. great service, clean establishment and really nice experience”

“atmosphere with quality coffee and community centered owner. great for study space with lots of natural light”

“I look forward to every trip I make to the East Bay and especially the mornings, when I drive just down the road to this old school donut shop. They make donuts the way I use to like them as a child over 50 years ago. I especially love the apple fritters and the breakfast sandwiches, but all the donuts are great! If you remember the donuts of long ago, long before the Krispy Kreme and other modern gourmet donut nonsense, then give Alhambra Donuts a try!”

“These people are true artisans and took the time to open their shop after hours for my group. They explained the roasting process and gave much insite, making it an experience not just a coffee.”

“Bar Cava is a Martinez is an experience.. make sure you don’t miss it! … or you’ll have FOMO! Yep! I said that! It’s that awesome! Tell all you friends! (Or they’ll be mad with you) BC is the bar with it all!”

“Dudes are cool, and extra topping at no charge woo woo awesome service.”

“The views from this winery are amazing that you forget you are in martinez. It's beautiful 😍 There hillside white and pink, Valdigue and Zinfandel Port were my favorite.”

“Great food and great service. The music is super entertaining. The owner is awesome. Highly recommend!!!!”

“Nominated for one of Martinez best Mexican restaurants!!🥳🍽️”

“Huge portions, efficient service, decent, familiar food in a cool old building. I had no idea what a cute little town Martinez is, I only ever visit for the Amtrak. If you find yourself there at breakfast time, Copper Skillet Courtyard is a safe bet.”

“Came here randomly on a Tuesday afternoon while in Martinez. Saw the place and craved pho... so I decided to check it out.
I have pho in a lot of places and I can say this one didn't disappoint. I saw the negative reviews and feared I made the wrong choice but I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the combo pho and the broth was tasty and it had plenty of meat. I also ordered the grilled pork Bahn Mi and it was fire!! The bread was warm and soft, the pork was seasoned perfectly and it was tasty and juicy. First time here was a success. I don't normally hang around Martinez but if I come back and crave pho, I'm coming here. Hopefully they are consistent next time :)”

“We had a great evening with friends. Great food great service!”

“We absolutely love this place! Their carne asada is to die for, it’s always seasoned and cooked to perfection. I love they use grilled chicken for their tacos, and you can tell everything is made to order. Super fresh! The staff is always so friendly and welcoming as well.”

“James and v are awesome people. James is excellent. Cook on the grill. Short order cook excellent guy. V is cute. She's a little spicy but she's cute. Great place! Great people! Great hangout spot!”

“It took us a while to decide what to order, because there are so many different types of sushi to choose from. We ended up choosing the Hawaiian Roll, Pink Lady Roll, and Philadelphia Roll and were very happy with our selection. They were all incredibly delicious and came in beautiful packaging with small packs of soy sauce, ginger, wasabi, napkins, and chopsticks.”

“Great food and friendly staff. This place has raised the bar for a night out in Martinez!”

“The sandwiches are homemade and delicious and the staff is very nice and welcoming! Shout out to my boy Tony who took care of me is a super cool guy. I recommend The Giant sandwich which is very popular! 10/10 would go again.”

“Great place to stop for a drink. Lots of options for entertainment such as karaoke, live music and special events. For a smaller bar they have a great drink selection. I will definitely be back.”

“5 star🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 10/10 food 10/10 hygienic 10/10 service”

“Very happy with the pork fried rice both the quality and generous portion. The sweet and sour pork is also really good. I sat in the bar next door and had a beer while I waited for my food. Not that I had to wait long. I will definitely be back if not for the food then to hang out at the bar.”

“Good customer service and good sandwich 🥪 really clean area”

“Delicious creamy and flavorful. I had the guava and it was rich and fruity.”

“Not a whole lot that's worth stopping for in Martinez except for the Buon Aroma Deli. I was helping out my pal Patch Garibaldi lay out the Caromneedles for his new Higgins-Popstarter and he said he'd spring for lunch. Well! As long as it's Buon Aroma, I'm all in!5 stars ☆☆☆☆☆”

“This is the perfect treat for a hot day. Ian's has plenty of fro-yo flavors to choose from which makes the customer feel good. The price can be a little expensive sometimes, so it can be a place to go there not as frequently as others.🍦”

“Always a fun time, if you havent tried it its worth a stop. Coffee shop by day, bar evenings thurs-sun. They have an awesome Happy hour on thursdays at the time of review (5$ beer, 7$ mixed drink if I recall right?). If I do get a mixed drink, this is the place to get it. Pictured is the egg white sour. They do breakfast, but not dinner foods durinb bar service. Also, as a plus, they usually don't have live music, so you can actually hear the other person you're talking to.”

“Slow Hand never disappoints. Just got back from Austin and had bbque there at Franklins. But just tasting Slow Hand, absolutely amazing. Love, love this place! So many great drink options as well. Wow.”

“Their hot and sour soup is outstanding. The staff is friendly and efficient. This is a great place to go and catch up with a friend over lunch and a pot of tea.”

“Very nice and friendly staff😊”

“I placed an online order for my teen. This was the location we would be passing. When we arrived it was ready for pick-up and made as specified. I do not know about the atmosphere; I didn't go inside. I just sent the kid in to get it.”

“And amazing blast from the past!!!”

“Subway has always been a go to of mine for delicious sandwiches at an affordable price. No matter where I travel I know Subway will always be there & deliver exactly what I expect!”

“Its all good! My fave the cuban! Excellent service all the way aound great bunch! Great job guys!!”

“Great deli / cafe attached to a catering business. Sandwiches are outstanding. Meat piled high and very fresh vegetables. Roll was soft and light, also.

The deli operation closes at 2:00 pm daily and is closed on weekends. But in-between that, you can get a great sandwich here .

They have housemade salads of all types, incl pasta etc. I didn't try them but will - they all looked great

And, it is one of the few places to sit down and eat around here that doesn't try to shake a tip out of you at the cash register before even trying the food.

Definitely going back”

“Place is great! The food delicious! I had the Chile Rellenos. It was one of the best I had..”

“My daughter and I love Yo Sushi 🍣”

“great team working here, friendly, helpful, enjoying their jobs...very clean and neat inside, and they always make my drink perfect! Thank you ☕”

“Lovely little shop with a variety of drinks and things to nibble on. Good atmosphere and friendly staff definitely a place to rest up at with a nice iced or hot drink ^^”

“All that and more ! Great service… Thanks Noni !”

“You know a place is amazing when it’s packed! I ordered a Supreme Pineapple Green Tea with stir fried boba and chizu (cheese) cream and half a dozen mochi donuts: funnel cake, black sesame, churro, strawberry shortcake, taro, and Captain Crunch. Tea was amazing (though I will go without the chizu cream) and next time I bring donuts to work I’m bringing in mochi dough❤️”

“Great $9.99 pizza Bar. Fresh variety of pizza, fresh salad bar and cinnamon knots. Very clean and spacious restaurant. They even found my cousins lost ear ring and returned it. Going back Thursday with friends.”

“Real Italian food, friendly people and clean and neat place. Plenty of room. service is very excellent. highly recommended place to check out!”

“Hanabi has been a staple for me for the past 25 years. I've seen it change hands, change chefs, and change menus several times over the years. The new owners have brightened it up and offered some additional menu items. However, the hot night and the heart attack rolls still reign supreme for me.”

“Great food, but no longer worth it after their price expansion over the past few years. You can get a burrito from Chipotle for $11. Here, one person eats for $20. You and your kid go here for a quick meal, almost $50.”

“Absolutely love this place! The staff is always friendly and full of energy, making every visit a great experience. Their coffee is top-notch, and the seasonal drinks are a fun twist that keeps me coming back for more!”

“This was the best Starbucks experience in a while. Usually, I'm not a fan, but this location totally surprised me with their fun and lively service. The guy at the counter was energetic and fun to chat with.”

“Fun place Ces ces is dope”

“Great location! Speedy service. Friendly staff. Great coffee”
