50 Best American Restaurants near Martinez

“I really enjoy a beautifully cooked piece of salmon, which is not easy to come by. Quite often when I order seafood out at a restaurant it is overcooked. I can guarantee when I go to Roxx on Main. My salmon is perfection. Moist tender and juicy like it should be. I do enjoy her menu, which is very versatile.“

“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.“

“Had a wonderful breakfast here with my mom and daughter this week. I have lived in the area a long time and this is my first trip here. I I'm definitely returning. I had the fiest omelette, which comes with a side of sour cream, pico de gallo, and a wonderful medium hot sauce. It was a wonderful combination of tastes. The hash browns were perfectly golden and the toast was warm and buttered. My coffee cup was never empty and the service was really good. Love the wood interior It feels like a Tahoe restaurant. Good ambience and five. There are a few tables out front on the sidewalk. If you haven't been here you definitely should give it a try.“

“Very nice and friendly staff😊“

“Second time getting food from there, really good food, always made to order with fresh ingredients. Had the best breakfast sandwich I’ve had so far. It’s one of my boyfriend’s favorite spots as he grew up in the area, definitely becoming one of mine. Definitely recommend stopping by!“

“Kid-friendliness: Good selection of reasonably priced kids meals (menu). They willingly swap the breakfast meat for a fruit cup. This place has become our local go-to. They have a good rewards program too - the freebies add up pretty quickly.“

“The food inside is delicious and healthy portions. The service here is great too!“

“I’m a sandwich (and Italian hoagie) aficionado, constantly seeking out the best. I actually have an entire category of sandwich shops and deli’s saved on my phone. I will drive (or more likely ride my motorcycle 2+ hours just to try a new place.

Take it from me: Lucia’s is a rare gem. Five stars. Terrific bread, thinly sliced meats and cheese, fresh produce, homemade spread: they had it all.

And LOTS of it. I knew as soon as I picked up the bag: huge, loaded sandwich. I couldn’t get my mouth wide enough to get the whole thing at once. Then, I could only eat half. I brought the other half home and my wife could only eat half of that half. I enjoyed the rest the next day.

I should’ve taken a picture but was too busy devouring the thing. I will definitely be back, and I will remember to take a picture then. It’s as good an excuse as any for a return visit. See you there.“

“Totally worth the drive to fish and see Barbara when they open for lunch.. Barbara is totally awesome. Cash only don't worry. There is ATM in the back. Large food and alcohol selection. We had no problems finding a seat on a Saturday afternoon. Plenty of amazing outside seating looking at the lake. Side note my friend comes here occasionally and fishes on the straight. He took me here today and we almost caught a Sturgeon together.“

“We enjoy the food and friendly service. It is our go to place after a swim or on evenings when we don't want to cook and it is consistently delicious. Thank you to the hard working team at the cocina for creating a space for locals to est good food.“

“Really liked this spot. I like the ordering system. I was greeted warmly by the two employees I initially had contact with. I had the biscuit breakfast sandwich, very filling and the biscuit was so good. I had one pancake and man was that delicious! The parking is also a plus. Will definitely come back to check out other options!“

“MAMA & Luis are the BEST One person is a racist“

“Food is always good. Can’t go wrong 😁👍🏼“

“So I have the cheeseburger and garlic fries. The garlic is not just a powdered sprinkled on it is actually handmade and put on the fries it is phenomenal. And the amount of fries they give you wow they're just over the top. The cheeseburger that I got had real beef. Not the stuff you see at McDonald's this is real beef like what you buy at your own barbecue at home. A cheeseburger and fry filled me up. The fries were crispy and not limpy like most other restaurants. When coming here you're going to get a quality meal. I'm going to be coming back here I hope you will too.“

“Sooooo, my husband took me to this place because I’ve never been and wanted a really good burger. It had 4.5 rating so I took a chance. I’m glad I did. When we walked in we were greeted warmly. It’s a hole in the wall vibe but very clean. Our chef was Serena, and boy oh boy did she craft us an amazing tasting double cheeseburger. We even asked for a medium cook and she delivered. We also ordered the onion rings, French fries, and a pineapple shake. These are a MUST!

This place is a definite recommended!“

“Stumbled upon North Park Deli while working nearby. It is tucked away in a business park, it has fresh, homemade sandwiches. I got the tuna salad (super fresh and flavorful), and my classmates had a BLT with avocado and a veggie sandwich. They were quick, simple, and delicious. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area and need a solid lunch spot!“

“I went to brunch with my girlfriends we had great service wonderful bloody Mary we will go back the food was excellent“

“I cannot say enough good things about Lettuce in Walnut Creek. Every single dish we have tried has been absolutely fabulous and I do not use that word lightly. The flavors are fresh and vibrant, the ingredients are clearly high quality, and you can tell the team puts real love into what they do. Whether you are going for one of their signature salads, grain bowls, or something seasonal, it always hits that perfect balance of healthy and satisfying. It is one of the few places where eating clean does not feel like you are sacrificing taste. In fact, it is the opposite. You will leave feeling nourished and spoiled. The vibe is modern and inviting, the service is warm and efficient, and everything is just beautifully presented. It has become a go to spot for our family, especially when we want something fast but genuinely delicious. Highly recommend for anyone in the Walnut Creek area or passing through. Lettuce is doing something special and it shows in every bite.“

“An array of selections at a very reasonable price and very generous portions. I ordered the Garden Omelet; It was delicious. My daughter ordered the same. However, she chose scrambled eggs. Hashbrown and bread were included. There was also strawberry and grape jam at the table. Coffee was also superb. See photos.“

“Our service and food was amazing.“

“We were fortunate enough to get a reservation for my Husband's birthday and I'm so happy we did. Having been long time San Franciscan that has been to Original Joe's in SF and Daly City, I knew we were in for a treat. What a fantastic experience it was. The decor is so beautiful and our server Kristen cold not have been more helpful and accommodating. We started with the fried Zucchini and the Lettuce wedge salad (My favorite). That would have been enough right there-the portions are very ample. We both ordered the Steak Ala Bruno with a side of their homemade ravioli and the steaks were cooked to perfection. Finished with the butter cake and I have to say it was so delicious. Thanks to Original Joes and the lovely Kristen my husband thoroughly enjoyed his birthday.“
