50 Best American Restaurants near Martinez

“Heck ya!! What a fabulous dining experience! It’s a cozy restaurant in downtown Martinez. Definitely recommend making reservation as this place can be super packed esp. during live music hours. Everything we ordered, from their daily specials, to locally sourced ingredients give you a farm to table kind of dining venture. The house cocktails are refreshing-ly good. If you have a sweet tooth, their in-house desserts to finish off your meal-perfect amount of sweetness! Can’t wait to be back for more!“

“Their mimosas are very tasty and the staff is friendly and quick with service. I have tried their original Benedict and Western burger in the past which both were delicious. This time I tried their chorizo burrito and it was very good 😊 definitely recommend if you want a nice regular spot!“

“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😊“

“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!“

“Seriously, this place is a true find from the sandwich heavens.
They take such meticulous care with every sandwich, and everyone there is genuinely caring. I’ve already gone off the freeway twice just to come back and eat there again, and each time it’s been just as wonderful.
I had the Rib Roast the first time, man what a sandwich, good amount of meat that you can taste the flavor, tomato, layered on the entire bread kept it so moiost delicious. Then the Italian, swapping the salami for mortadella (a perfect switch). The sandwich is perfectly moist, tastey, full of flavor, loved it.
Oh, the lettuce, they do an entire side salad with dressing and put it on the sandwich, unreal. I appreciate this place and recommend it to everyone who cares about a great sandwich.“

“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.“

“Truly a gem in the East Bay. It’s tucked away and easy to drive past (like I did the first time I went). They have a large variety on the menu ranging from pasta, to burgers, to Mexican food. I had the Jambalaya Cajun Pasta and my friend had Al Pastor tacos. The tacos were flavorful, and the pasta was very good and filling. Definitely recommend if you have a picky family and don’t want to make multiple stops for dinner.“

“Great place to celebrate my moms birthday!! 🎉“

“YUMMMO - Savoring every bite - you will LOVE the catfish and hush puppies!!“

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!“

“This spot is the most absolute amazing food and drinks and service out there. Every single food item I had has been outstanding!“

“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.“

“First visit. Everything was delicious. Poutine fries, a side salad, and the Pittsburgh Cheese Steak. Will definitely be back.“

“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.“

“I highly recommend this place!! It's called best burger for a reason the avocado and Swiss burger was the best burger I ever had. The meat was fully cooked it wasn't messy. The employees were very helpful and professional. There is nice seats for groups and it's clean and nice with a TV !“

“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!“

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

“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 started going to Rrags in 2002 when my daughter started working there as a barrista. she received excellent training, earned enough to buy her laptop and most of her first car. the owners, and staff are very pleasant and welcome regulars and new customers with a smile.“

“Love the food and the place. Worth a drive❣️. Kind people too.“

“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.“

“This is what we had tonight but, they have excellent food and service every time.“

“Camarones 🍤 coconut muy deliciosos me encantaron“

“Applebee’s in Vallejo is SOOOOOOO Much Better Than Applebees In Pinole, I WILL NOT Go There EVER. Landon Was TOP NOTCH. She Constantly Came To Check On Me. In Pinole I CONSTANTLY Had To Ask Other Servers, Where Is My Server. I Truly Wasn’t Happy & Felt Like Leaving Right In The Middle Of My Meal.“

It’s a good spot to let time go by if you’re waiting for events and they are kid friendly“

“We love MSK and have been enjoying family dinners here for a couple years now. It’s kid friendly but fancy enough for foodie parents. It’s family owned and strives to carry local seasonal ingredients.“

“Nostalgia, for me. Forty years ago, when I moved here, I lived around the corner. Loved the food and coffee (Peet's) and the buzzy atmosphere. So Berkeley. When I'm back in the neighborhood, I try to stop by for a good meal. Even after 30 years my son gets over the moon excited when I bring him a cheese puff. Also dropped off their out of this world pie to a family member battling cancer recovery. Everyone gets excited about their baked goods; however their meals are dang good too. Friendly staff as well. For some joy, go there!“
