Restaurants in Martinez

“A Magical Night to Remember!

From the moment we stepped into the California Magic Club, we were transported into a world of wonder, laughter, and warmth. Gerry Griffin and his incredible family have created more than just a dinner theater — they’ve created a home for magic, joy, and human connection.

The food was delicious — with thoughtful vegetarian options that truly impressed. The atmosphere was intimate and welcoming, and the entire evening was a perfect blend of world-class close-up magic, interactive stage illusions, and heartfelt hospitality.

The magicians were not only incredibly talented, but also warm and engaging — each bringing their own style of mystifying brilliance. I was lucky enough to be invited on stage to assist two of the masters. Despite watching their every move with eagle eyes, hoping to catch even the tiniest slip, I came away with nothing but awe and admiration. Their sleight of hand was flawless — it was like trying to catch the wind.

Thanks to these artists of illusion, life itself feels a little more mysterious — and all the more beautiful for it.

Gerry and his team aren’t just professionals — they’re genuinely kind, passionate people who clearly love what they do. It’s rare to find a place where entertainment and sincerity meet so beautifully. We laughed, we gasped, we tried to figure out the illusions — and failed wonderfully.

This was more than a show — it was an experience we’ll carry in our hearts for a long time. Thank you to the Griffin family for making our evening so magical. We’ll definitely be back — and bringing friends!”

“I lost count of how many times I’ve come here - they never miss. The menu is familiar but enough unique items to stand out amongst all of the other AYCE sushi OR hotpot restaurants around.. oh and did I mention they offer both.. get this - for the same price ? come visit, you won’t regret it!”

“Birthday lunch with former colleagues. Food is always fresh and delicious. Try the specials! Good vegetarian options. Great seafood and burgers. Housemade bread and dip are excellent. Sorry not more pictures. We were having fun.”

“Great local brewery with a relaxed atmosphere great staff”

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

“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.”

“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!”

“Our son just got back from Italy and stated that his Spaghetti Di Mare was sublime and what people would wait a lengthy time for in Trastevere. Very good! All homemade and fresh.”

“Happy the folks that opened the restaurant back pay attention to detail.
Food was spiced properly, hot, and on time.
Good selection of beers and wine.
I believe they will have live music.”

“This is my boyfriend and my go to place for sushi in the area !!! When ever he's leaving it up to me on where to go to eat he already knows we are going to be headed here!! It's very cozy and the staff are super nice and personable! It's got amazing prices for quite a lot of food I tend to always have a few pieces of my rolls to go!! It's very fresh and very very tasty!!!”

“The drinks are smooth, and potent. Service is great. Clientele is friendly.

Great place to kill an afternoon.

The only downside is, as other reviewers have commented, the drinks aren't cheap ?”

“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.”

“Thank you to Mountain Mikes pizza for the donation of pizzas to feed all these hard working kids today working on building the AHS Freshmen Homecoming Parade Float! 💙💛💙💛. Go Dogs!”

“The best biriani I've ever had!”

“Seems to be primarily a pick up/take out place but I highly recommend stopping by and grabbing a table if you’ve got the time! The interior is beautifully decorated with a fountain that adds a delightful ambiance. Obviously, the food was fantastic, and the servers are also really attentive and kind. Five stars, ten out of ten, give them a Michilen already ⭐️”

“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!!!!”

“I can't rate Lunch at 1350 high enough!!! The sandwiches are delicious, with flavorful and tender meats and veggies of all kinds and on delicious bread. The salads are always fresh and crisp, the soups-so yummy! They even have great desserts!!! I look forward to trying their weekly specials too. They girls that run everything are a delight. I wish I could go there every day! 💖”

“We come here with the kids, because it's one of our favorites. There's a good variety of food such as ramen, poke, and Hawaiian BBQ so there's something for everyone. Drinks include boba and Hawaiian Sun. Service is very good: friendly and prompt.”

“I tried their strawberry chocolate latte, and I liked that it wasn’t overly sweet. I have also tried their cheese danish and ham and cheese croissant which were both delicious as well. All pastries are made in house and typically fresh in the mornings.”

“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.”

“Taco Tuesday, incredible deal and very good.”

“JP Bistro in Martinez is a total win. Fun, down-to-earth owners, fresh ingredients, and consistently delicious food. Portions are solid, prices are fair, and the menu has something for everyone 😉 plus adult drinks if you want 'em. No need to dress up, just come hungry. Low-key vibe, top-tier flavor.”

“As a vegan it’s nearly impossible to find delicious, authentic soul food. I drive out of my way in Bay Area traffic to get there. Now that I have moved away I look forward to my annual trip. Thank you for filling my soul for 15 years!”

“I came here to get some pupusas and I wasn’t disappointed. There were very delicious. I definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to eat some traditional pupusas.”

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

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

“Lemongrass never disappoints. They have delicious fresh food and good service in a nice atmosphere.”

“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.”

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

“This winery is one of my favorites—not just for the delicious wine, but because the scenery is incredible. The outdoor seating area is so relaxing, with beautiful views in every direction. The tasting room has a warm, rustic feel that makes you want to stay awhile. If you love good wine and a great atmosphere, this place is a perfect pick!!”

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

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

“This guy is a genius! I have been to many fine restaurants, but the combination of ingredients is a masterpiece. I am going to try everyone on the menu. I started with the mortadella.”

“It was like a fortress of nachos, loaded, weighing almost a baby, went back for a chicken quesadilla, another baby, so far this place does not disappoint... Highly recommended.”

“Oysters looked good but I opted for the crab melt. I thought the crab was decent. The bread was nice and toasted which was a plus. Otherwise I thought overall the place was ok. Small seating area which is understandable considering where they are located. Could be a fun spot with the right people.”

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

“I was hungry and decided to give this place a try. They did not disappoint. I ordered the heart attack omelet with hash browns and I left full. It took the waitress using both hands to bring me a plate, keep that in mind when you order. The portions are generous but not excessive, and the food is excellent. It's so good I even got an order of biscuits and gravy to go. Between the omelet with hash browns, the biscuits and gravy, and 3 glasses of tea my bill was less than $40. If you're ever in Martinez and want a good breakfast or lunch you can't go wrong with this place. The staff is on point, the food is worth writing home about, and the atmosphere will give you a good pat on the back.”

“Just had a wonderful Italian salad...so good and hubby enjoyed his sandwich and salad very much. So happy to find a new delicious salad/sandwich joint!”

“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 ^^”

“Super tasty HK style food, lots of vegetarian options, and everything tastes home-made.

The staff was lovely and accommodating. Will definitely be returning when the mood for Chinese food strikes again.”

“This is a very innovative sushi takeout place with a self-service ordering system, which is super convenient. The sushi is fresh and tastes great. The interior has a modern, minimalist design that really appeals to young people. Since it’s a self-service takeout restaurant, you shouldn’t expect traditional table service, but that’s part of its unique concept. Considering the area, the prices are already very affordable and offer great value.”

“I've been going to Sunday night karaoke for the 6-7 years. The drinks are well priced, there's plenty of pool tables, the staff is excellent and the crowd is friendly & chill!”

“Vegetarian options: They don’t have really any vegetarian options that come to my mind but nothing was gross. It was all so delicious I would definitely recommend! ?

Parking: The parking lot is located mainly in the back of the restaurant and it is shared with another business next door so if it gets busy there are a limited number of spaces to park in.”

“Martinez location is always clean n friendly.

Parking: Shopping center type parking lot.

Wheelchair accessibility: There's a ramp at the curb.”

“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 ☆☆☆☆☆”

“Very nice and friendly staff😊”

“great location, super vegan friendly menu. I've been here several times and have enjoyed that there's such a wide variety of options. I can highly recommend the oat milk soft serve on one of their cookies”

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

“Today I had the great pleasure of meeting Harry of Reviver Foods - ReGrow Youth. He hand delivered beautiful fruit vegetable smoothie elixirs to my home. He is full of nutritional knowledge and good vibes. Very much looking forward to getting my health back on track with his plan. I love that he recycles all of his own bottles. ♻️ Tonight I am enjoying a beet ginger carrot elixir, it is delicious. NomNomNom!”

“Best everything!! Pasta, sandwiches, bread spaghetti and pizzas plus all of the delectable baked goods are the best. I will keep going back!!”

“Their version of a whiskey sour is easily in my top 3 whiskey sours I've ever had. Everything they make at the bar is quality and the bartenders are all very talented”

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

“Truly authentic Chinese flavors!!’ They even have my favorite charred tastes I love in their chow mein. EVERYTHING was delightful. The service was as well. Very helpful and friendly staff. This the real deal yall. We had veggie chow mein, sesame chicken, eggplant chicken shrimp special, garlic boi choy, and salt and pepper fish. All delightful. Our new favorite spot!!!!!”

“I had a crab sandwich from upstairs during brunch. It was nice, hot, and fresh!
Bar upstairs was cool! Smooth Tequila!
Ice cream spot downstairs was also great...One stop shot for it all”

“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”

“We got eggplant in garlic sauce and veggie egg foo young. It was tasty and the portions were big. A little more sauce on the eggplant dish would have been nice, but we liked all the mushrooms and crunchy veggies in the dish. Will go here again for takeout.”

“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!”

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

“My daughter and I love Yo Sushi 🍣”

“Everything here is great. The food is amazing, they are fast and super friendly. We get take out from here at least once a week. The only thing I have an issue with is the prices. We like the crispy chicken tacos. Before today they were $1.99 and the chips and salsa came with our order today I got 12 tacos and the cashier asked me if I wanted chips and salsa, I usually say no even though they are free because we don't eat the Chios but for some reason I said sure why not and my order that usually comes out to $26 and some change cost me $39. That's a $13 increase in price. Which is what 50% more which is insane. I'm good. No thank you.

Parking: There is parking but the direction of the spaces are odd. There is always parking though

Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs to go up and plenty of room in the dining area”

“The food was delicious the service was prompt and nice”

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

“I had an amazing experience with the customer service here! The fast service and incredible rewards truly set this place apart. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for top-notch service. Thank you for making my visit so outstanding! Keep up the great work!”

“Perfect flat white! Thank you Barista Victoria. ?

Vegetarian options: Egg bites with roasted red peppers is my favorite breakfast. (Blueberry Scones are wonderful too.)

Kid-friendliness: Observation: Baristas' interactions with children are excellent.

Parking: Lots of parking, but many walk there. Service is wonderful. Coffee and scones are consistently great! Favorite Starbucks by far!”

“Fun place Ces ces is dope”

“Been a customer since the Martinez location opened. Super burgers and fries today! Chiara was on top of the whole process: it’s not often when you can tell someone is really listening to the specs and asks the right questions (as well as super courteous). The kitchen then hit it out of the park….and I’m one picky old lady!”

“And amazing blast from the past!!!”

“was searching for ages on the road for some good Chinese food until I stumbled upon this place! there was amazing service and the food came faster than any fast food ! the food was really good and showed up nice and hot. highly recommend !!”

“We went for breakfast on Saturday morning, The food was Ok, The service was adequate I had the Huevos Rancheros they were served differently I was not impressed, They were good.”

“Without putting a curse on this place I will say I adore this Starbucks due to the employees! So far my experience has been nothing shy of amazing. Different people I have experienced so it is not just one or two that are making me write this. I am grateful to the light I have seen in each individual! Thank you! Drinks are also deliciously made, WIN-WIN!”

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

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

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

“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❤️”
