50 Best American Restaurants near Martinez

“Some of the best food in the area organically sourced, absolutely amazing chef, and service is friendly and out of this world. The food and drinks are just suburb. Flavors are extremely well balanced and flavors just pop. Each dish, wether the steak which was perfect seasoned and match with the potatoes agraten, the Cesar and salmon salad with its perfect Cesar dressing or the loaded turkey on facasia everything was just perfect! The drinks just out of this world! As always you should taste the flavors of the alcohol and not the alcohol... and the bartender got it perfect and just right!
Definately and is our regular go to diner restaurant!
And if you can stay for the music... always a special treat!“

“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!“

“This is hands down coziest breakfast spot I’ve been to in a very long time. The ambience was comforting and warm, the staff were so kind and the food was awesome. Also I have to say the country potatoes were so crispy and delicious, literally the best I’ve had in I don’t know how long.“

“Very nice and friendly staff😊“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Some people rate the atmosphere lower but it’s a 24/7 diner they might not be smiling because they’re likely working long hours.

I like the cozy nature. The widow to the street. It feels like a place in the Midwest. I don’t always need conversation with the staff, i kinda like that they leave you alone at night. I may come here to think and eat sometime.

I got my first order here and it was a fried chicken sandwich, onion rings and a large vanilla milkshake.

Each item was exactly what I wanted it to be at almost midnight on a Wednesday. It hit the spot. Highly recommend.“

“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.“

“When we visit NorCal we always make as many stops here as possible. I think we’ve covered a lot of the breakfast/lunch options and we’ve been very pleased. The food is always fresh and tasty but some standouts are any of the omelettes and Benedict dishes. I love their blueberry power scone, but a family favorite is the zucchini bread which personally I find just a bit too sweet. The salads are fresh and filed with a wide variety of veggies. My recent tuna salad was so big that I took half of it home.
The service here is outstanding, all lovely smiles and attentiveness.“

“One of my San Francisco Bay Area Secrets..., that is no longer a secret.

Great Bar and Restaurant; old school making drinks (yes, heavy on the alcohol), a wide selection of worldly beers on the menu, a few beers on tap, and a good selection of amount of food that comes out of that kitchen of theirs.

I have been going to the Warehouse since I was a child, when my parents would take me there for dinner way back in the 1980s. Plus, there is a 11-foot tall polar bear, with another black bear for photography. Next door (random hours) is a clothing, antique store and on Sunday's (spring and summer months) is a live band.

If not live music, there is a jukebox with a very wide selection of music to choose from (with cash or on-line), only one (1) pool table, but because there is so much history in that place, there is no need for any activities like pool.

Overall, one of the best drinking holes in the Bay Area. We Love the Warehouse and shall never go to long without a visit.“

“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.“

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

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

“Experience exceptional dining at Jack restaurant, where the waitstaff and bartender provide top-notch service with a smile. They take the time to ask about your meal and ensure that every detail meets your satisfaction.“

“This hidden gem was delightful! Everything was delicious, from the lemon and cucumber flavored spa water to the crème brûlée.“

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

“It's a small dining area, so was kind of tight but the food was good so I didn't mind. We ordered the seafood omelette, which included shrimp, salmon, bay scallops, cheese and tomatoes. Everything was cooked perfectly. It came with seasoned potatoes, and two large fluffy biscuits that melted in my mouth. The staff was friendly and attentive. I will definitely be a repeat customer.“

“what a wonderful place to have breakfast I have not tried their lunch yet but it was so good and the portions are really big I really enjoyed myself with my family.“

“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.“

“Had a wonderful meal there. The chef is a lovely guy offering creative variety in his dishes. Fish or meat - both were delicious!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Excellent customer service from start to finish. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome throughout the entire visit. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, with great flavor and quality in every dish.

“Delicious food. Loved the fact the food was done quickly. Loves the outside seating“

“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.“

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

“Five stars. The food and service here are impeccable. New favorite neighborhood restaurant.“

“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.“

“Our service and food was amazing.“

“Have a good variety to please everyone“

“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!“
