“An Amtrak layover for me. First time in this city. A lady at the Chamber of Commerce recommended it to me. Walking distance from the train station. I had the large Gyros. The meat was seasoned wonderfully. Yet, that beautiful meat taste was overcome by excessive lettuce. Thereby, not having as much meat as other places. When I go back I will take off the majority of the lettuce, but I still take issue with the lack of a good quantity of meat. The first picture is after I cut it in half. Another patron had the Greek fries which looked wonderful. I will go back and try them with another dish, but as far as the Gyros, not enough meat for the price. But let me state clearly...what meat was present was absolutely wonderfully tasty.“
“This is great place to enjoy a very good lunch special. I have only been here for lunch, so this review is based on my experiences during lunch time. Food: 5/5 Every time I have been here the food has been excellent. The portions are huge, everything is hot and fresh tasting, the sauces are great and I love the flavor and spice of the hot and sour soup. During the lunch special, it includes a good amount of food for a very reasonable price. I usually get the Kung Pao Chicken. It includes one entreé, rice (white or fried is included, or brown for $2 extra) 2 wonton chip, as well as hot and sour soup or wonton soup. The chicken is always very good and the veggies are always perfectly cooked. All that food for only 12 dollars! Service: 5/5 Every time we have been here we are seated quickly. In fact everything is very fast. Our food came out about 5 minutes after ordering and our server was ready to take our order within 2-5 minutes of sitting down. (But, they don't rush you. You have as much time as you need to look at the menu.) Ambiance/Space: 4/5 The ambiance is good, it's not anything extremely special, but it's comfortable. The restaurant is actually a pretty good size as well. They have 2 dining room areas, one of which has a bar (The room with the bar is usually closed during lunch). They also have a couple small tables on a small patio outside for nice days. Parking: 4/5 There is ample parking right in front of the restaurant. The only reason it is 4/5 is because this is a city parking lot and you have to pay to get a parking permit. Although it is very cheap. We paid like $1.50 for almost 2.5 hours! I'm sure it's very good for dinner as well. This is definitely a great little gem if you're wanting to explore the antique shops and the surrounding area in the nice little downtown of Martinez. After we eat here we usually like to check out the antique shop called Antique Corner right across the street. I will posting a review about them as well.“
“We went on a Saturday and it wasn't as busy as we thought it would be. It's conveniently located next to Walmart which has everything. The beer was good. The pool tables were nicely spaced out with good vibes all around. The lower level area is very chill and relaxed. I liked everything about this place and enjoyed playing my game. Security was friendly.“
“What is there to say? This place is the best: drink quality, the fun atmosphere, pricing, the variety, and awesome bartending!We've had every type of drink and it's always been knocked out of the park!"A must try" if you're in the area.Tip your bartenders! ?“
“A friendly atmosphere, great bartenders. To top it off, $5.00 breakfast on Wednesdays with ALL the fixins! If that's not enough, Nacho's to die for on Thursdays. Something goin on always. Thank you Danielle, Lara and the rest of the crew. MUST VISIT.“
“We came to Whiskey Lane for the first time to watch theSuper Bowl and were lucky enough to get two open seats. The staff were truly kind, energetic and generous; and even thanked us for coming. They offered a complementary barbecue, Bacardi rum shots and a raffle, where pretty much everyone won something (shirts and hats). There were several large screen TV's, so it was a bit difficult to hear the game, even with max volume. Regardless, we had so much fun watching two closely matched, top notch, competitive teams; along with rowdy songs and cheers from the crowd. It could not have been more perfect (minus the last few seconds of the game). Thank you, Whiskey Lane - you are totally awesome and you made us feel so welcome!“
“Best Burmese restaurant in the Bay Area in my opinion. The restaurant is so clean and service is superb. Coconut chicken noodle soup had layers of flavors and the whole tilapia dish topped with green mango relish was just refreshing. Can’t wait till the next visit!“
“We dropped into Baxter's randomly last night and we're lucky enough to be seated in the speakeasy. This was a side room of the restaurant but also a world away! The atmosphere was amazing, plush, comfortable and yet sleek with a bit of a club feel. Then the food! Not only was it beautiful in presentation but absolutely delicious. My husband had the lamb and practically licked the plate clean he loved it so much. The scallops were also amazing and not over sauced. Both came with mashed potatoes and veggies which at most restaurants aren't that great, Baxter's however made these side dishes equally fresh and appealing. Their bartender knew what he was doing and made some great martinis as well. Overall it was an excellent experience, highly recommended! Usually I'd have to go to SF to get this kind of service, food and atmosphere.“
“So, to begin with. When you see the place from a street, it is not the first choice to swing by, yet when you peek through the window, you'll see an open kitchen with food being cooked nonstop, a hood sign.Inside the place seems a bit crowded, yet you could probably squeeze 8n at the bar if you ask nicely even if you don't have reservation :)And now the food, fantastic italian cusine - the pasta is appropriately aldente, tomato sauce is fantastic, the beef carpaccio blows you away.And in the end you feel guilty if you miss the dessert.I would definitely recommend making a reservation and arrive hungry.Parking in a garage nearby is plenty.“
“Ok so first, the food was absolutely DELICIOUS, AMAZING, TERRIFIC, and so much more. Second, once you have ordered your food it will come in 15 or less minutes! Third, once you come into the restaurant, (you may have to wait in a line) the hostess will ask you for your name and phone number, if you want to be seated outside or inside, and how long the wait time is (about 20 minutes). Lastly, you should definitely consider coming to Jack's if you're feeling hungry! (They serve breakfast until 2:00pm and lunch all day.) PS you HAVE to try the Mac and cheese!Vegetarian options: You could get the omelet (which is very good) if you are looking for something that is for vegetarians.Kid-friendliness: The hostess would ask you if you want a kid(s) menus. Plenty of options on the kids menu.“
“Taking time to say goodbye to a classic. Chevys is closing at least two more local locations in my area, so won't have the opportunity dine here anymore.We had to have one last meal at this fun chain restaurant. We both had plates of their delicious fajitas. One steak and chicken, one carnitas and pork belly.The chips and salsa have always been so good and we added a small bowl of the creamy guac to top it off.And of course a margarita had to accompany the meal... ?Will miss this place.“

“I intended on trying something new and ordered the Salmon Caperi. I just had an unexplainable taste for something that the dish Perfectly satisfied. Great atmosphere for a stormy day made for a perfect silver lining as well. Divine dining!!“
“We had a great night on our dinner date. I highly recommend this spot if you are in the mood for Peruvian food. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. She brought out two samples of wine for me to try and waited until I made my decision. I appreciated this. I would recommend if it’s your first time, the Empanada Sampler of all 4. I would have naturally leaned towards the Cheese with Avocado sauce or the Vegetarian but to my surprise loved the Beef with Rocoto Aioli best. For dinner I had the Organic Quinoa Chopped Salad with chicken. It has romaine, radish, green beans, tomatoes, onions, corn, cilantro, avocado, lime vinaigrette and I loved it! I will be back just for this salad. The flavors were light and the chicken was perfect. It didn’t feel like too much which left room for dessert. My partner had the Shredded Chicken Stew, with slow cooked chicken breast simmered in a mild yellow pepper sauce, with hard boiled egg, Peruvian olive, walnuts and parmesan cheese, served with rice. He liked it and felt it was an authentic dish but would probably try something different next time. Dessert, the bread pudding was wonderful. Pineapple and coconut served with bourbon caramel sauce and whipped cream. If you enjoy these flavors I would recommend this! We will definitely be back!“
“I recently dined at the Walnut Creek Yacht Club and came away with mixed feelings. On the plus side, the food is always well-prepared, a testament to the kitchen's consistency and skill. The Chelsea Gem oysters were a standout, arriving at the table perfect in every way and setting a high bar for the rest of the meal.However, not all dishes reached this level of excellence. The halibut with citrus butter, while very good, didn't quite live up to expectations, lacking a certain special touch that would make it memorable. Similarly, the clam pasta fell short of the mark. It was quite bland and suffered from an overabundance of butter, overshadowing the clams themselves.In summary, while there are definite highlights like the impeccable Chelsea Gem oysters, some offerings could benefit from a bit more inspiration and balance. The Walnut Creek Yacht Club has the potential for greatness, but a little more attention to the flavor profiles of some dishes would go a long way.3.5 stars.“
“Great selection of top notch beers on tap and many more in bottle. The bar tender was knowledgeable and helpful in making selections. It has the feeling of an off the path rathskeller in Germany. Prices on bottled offerings can get high as some are rare or uncommon in the US. We did not try any food. They post their taps on the Untapped app. A great place to try a beer you might not find anywhere else and have good conversation with a friend.Parking: Metered start parking with extended meter hours.“
“When I first entered toots I thought it was rather small. I had no idea there was a back room for shows! The place is actually pretty nice and has ample space inside. Parking is a little tricky and the sidewalks are rather high as my friend fell off of one of them. I recommend this place for good shows and great gatherings'n“
“My co-grandma bestie and I lunched at Yard House, had a wonderful server (Stephanie?)We ordered Brussels sprouts and chicken tenders to split halvsies.Delicious!!The computer at the table was for Stephanie to place the order, and she explained how to use it to pay when we were ready•We got the tab to split the check and each paid ours.“
“Such a cool treasure!The location is a historical neighborhood with a view of San Pablo Bay and train line.Staff were fun, engaging and welcoming.Wish we had 3 more hours to take in all the tchotchkes and historical pieces.The Warehouse is a rare and special gem.“
“A very warm and inviting atmosphere. I went there with my daughter. The drinks were great and the bartender was very pleasant and easy to talk to. I felt very comfortable there and seeing everyone else comfortable,engaged in pleasant conversations. They also have a drag show which I think is twice a month that I definitely plan on seeing.“
“Great selection of beers and wine. I've been back 2 times(many times now) and have had a great time each visit. Nice place to watch sports. The bartenders are all nice, friendly and attentive.I still need to explore the food menu. To be continued...Part 2: the food is amazing for bar food and the menu has many different types to choose from; Burgers, wings, lumpia, wraps, and much more. They offer many different dipping sauces. And some are uniquely made in house.They also offer free wi fi ???Update to review: The food has gotten even better! You will find a full menu with about 50 items and specials every night to keep things new. Every thing I've ordered has been almost gourmet level and delicious. The ownership is doing a superb job on the menu and food preparation.“
“I had a great time last night out with my sisters. It's been a while since I've been here but a good time was truly had. There's a new proprietor and new bartenders. Moe is still there but not alllll night. She closed her shift around 9. Seems like a new party crowd mixed the the old timers... a DJ showed up and so did security and a doorman that charged admission after 9 or 10. I loved the upgrades to the back patio area.“

“Recently checked out Bambino's this past week and it was a blast. First off, big ups to Kat behind the bar. She's quick, on point, and really makes sure you're all good. It's like she's everywhere at once but still has time to make your experience personal. Now, the pizza. It's honestly the best I've ever had. The crust? Perfect. The toppings? Fresh and flavorful. It's the kind of pizza you'll crave after you've had it once. So yeah, Bambino's is a solid win. Great service from Kat, amazing pizza, and just a good place to be. Can't wait to go back.“
“This is a gorgeous, brilliant lounge! Perfectly lively, but relaxing vibes with amazing drinks and comfortable seats! Menu also has snacks in case you want food! Staff was super friendly too! On the smaller side, but go early and you'll def get a spot! I'll be returning!“
“This place has the best Italian food around. Service was amazing as well. My only question is why it's usually so empty? I've been there 4-5 times and always only 2-3 other tables. Location in a run down strip mall, decor needs help, but go for the food❤️“
“Great spot for a drink or a quick bite! On some days there is live music and the people-watching never disappoints!Vegetarian options: Not Vegan or necessarily vegetarian friendly.Parking: Parking is generally easy. There are plenty of side streets when the main street is full. There are no parking meters in this town ?“
“We like this restaurant. Great view and classic but romantic place. My husband asked the server’ favorite and ordered salmon pasta. If you like salmon, it is good. My order was fish and chips and it was good! But I did not like coleslaw, sorry! Anyway I will try other meal next time. We will be back.“
“It’s great, but keep in mind their “extra hot” is extremely mild. I’m sure they’re catering to the clientele, but I want to be able to order food at a spiciness level that causes me physical anguish. They need an “I expect this to give me caustic diarrhea” level of spiciness.“
“Hello, I am a traveler of Argentine - Italian nationality.I came across this very particular place.A cozy restaurant with a very pleasant atmosphere.Its owner and chef Ramiro was very kind and welcoming to me and my wife.They let us choose our table as we liked.As soon as we sat down they brought us water with lemon and hot bread with Eggplant Caponata (amazing )We then tried a Calamari appetizer (abundant and tender) and then Fettuccine Alfredo and Salmon Dill (5⭐️)The food is prepared at the moment and in front of the customers.Each main dish comes with a soup or salad (you can add protein or different types of salad for a fee).Both the waiter and the assistant were very attentive and friendly.RECOMMENDATION!!This is NOT your average American restaurant.You should arrive prepared to have the experience of a European restaurant, where one goes to enjoy, relax and eat delicious food.The attention is personalized, so it takes time.Patience and understanding where one went to eat is important.Thank you so much.We will return, without a doubt!“
“Have been here twice and it's so fun! Really great interior and outside little patio that looks out to Todos Santos Plaza. They have a great rotating selection of beer with lots of different choices - IPAs, lagers, blondes, ciders etc. The staff is really friendly and they have a membership option with your phone number. I really want to check out their Tuesday night trivia and food but so far have had only great beers here! Street parking isn't too bad for a downtown area and surrounding area has lots of food and the park is just across the street too.“
“It was my first time at the Beverly Elks Lodge. The have a full bar and kitchen if you're hungry. I was there because on Wednesday nights, for a nominal charge of $10, they teach Chicago Style Steppin' . I has a great time and met some new friends. I can't wait to go back next week.“
“Really great spot. The outdoor seating is a little hit and miss, but that's more the fault of the location than anything else. I recommend sitting inside unless it's a very nice day.The food there is great, and the staff are very friendly.Top recommendations:- L.E.S.: this is the best pastrami I've had outside of a famed Jewish deli, and even then it is a contender. Truly a perfect sandwich that I could never get tired of enjoying.- duck banh mi: not really a banh mi, but it is a delicious sandwich with duck and pickled vegetables.- Spicy lamb burger: this thing is HOT, and in the best way. My scalp was sweating by the end , and it is delicious if you're into lamb. Would make great meatballs (hint to the menu makers hehe).They have decent wines, a good beer selection, and a nice bar with classic cocktails and great whiskey options... Particularly if you like Elijah Craig haha (their distributor must have gotten a good bonus!).Overall, if you are in the area and want a fun spot to stop by for lunch or dinner, this should be on your list of places to try. If you have gone and haven't tried the L.E.S., go back and give it a go (you're welcome ?).“
“Been doing a job out on the street and went in to give this place a try for lunch. Very friendly service and excellent food . Have gone back a couple times now to get lunch. They give you more than you can eat. They have a good variety of things to order off of the menu. Bartender was super cool too! Give them a try!“
“Only came once for some hotdogs and beer. The beer was cheep and cold and the hotdogs were hot and free! On their wall, they post a flyer where you can sign up for weekly text of all of their events. On the last Saturday of every month you can catch Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing Club where they'll usually have pastries and hot coffee. If you're a veteran, I recommend signing up for FREE fly fishing instruction and outings!“
“A cool little local spot that has been around for almost 100 years. Hang with the locals and hear some good stories. Bring your quarters for the pool table. They have wine and beer. Your choice. Plenty of parking. Not a busy place, sometimes they close early, depends on the crowd. Good place for a dinner time drink.“
“I came here last year November and I loved it since then.I first tried their happy hour and I was not disappointed.The prices was very reasonable and the chefs choice sashimi was so delicious!I got two desserts. The Mochi coffee is fantastic as well.I look forward to come back again ?“
“They have lots of options and the lunch/dinner meals are really nice. I wish their kimchi was a little spicier, but overall this was a stellar experience.If you're walking from the parking structure next to it, Google can be unhelpful because it'll only take you to the back of the building, but if you continue past the tailor's store in the side, you'll find it and won't be disappointed!“
“I love CJ's saloon great people & atmosphere the bartenders are on point u never have to wait to be served your drink wensdays and Sunday's they have live muzic preformed by local bands/musicians my lady and I love going there week after week. If u hate haveing fun .listening to amazing live muzic ..meeting down to earth fun loving people and going home with a dope story to tell and a lasting memory about your experience then stay the hell away you won't like this place and no one there will like you either...I really love this bar Corey James“
“Our favorite place in Martinez! We love the food, cocktails, fabulous staff, and live music. You can feel the care that goes into everything they offer. Definitely get reservations because Roxx is popular with the locals and out-of-towners.“
