Restaurants in Petaluma

“Exquisitos bocadillos.y atención de primera.”

“Most dishes are from the region Jalisco, Mexico. I'm not familiar with that region but the flavors were more subtle and complex than the typical Mexican tacos I've had.

The chicken flautas is excellent. I liked the shrimp taco and al pastor. The pescado was my least favorite - it lacked texture.”

“I miss you guys and the wonderful meals and wines. You will forever be my favorite place.”

“I love this location. It was easy to locate and the staff is great. Everything was really fun when I went in with my kids so I was just so impressed with the overall atmosphere”

“A Swedish Gem in Petaluma! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ​If you are looking for a dining experience that is both authentically Swedish and refreshingly modern, Stockhome in Petaluma is an absolute must-visit. It perfectly captures that vibrant Stockholm street-food vibe while keeping things incredibly healthy and high-quality. ​ Favorites: • ​The Salmon Gyro: This is a total game-changer. The salmon is perfectly prepared—fresh, light, and seasoned beautifully. Wrapping those clean Nordic flavors into a gyro format makes for a meal that feels like a treat without being heavy. • ​Elderberry Soda with a Splash of Lemonade: This was the highlight of the drink menu! The subtle, floral sweetness of the house-made elderberry soda paired with the bright citrus of a splash of lemonade is the ultimate refreshing combination. It’s a "pro-tip" order that I’ll be repeating every time. • ​The Vibe: The space is bright, minimalist, and welcoming—true to its Scandinavian roots. It’s clear they prioritize fresh ingredients and authentic flavors, from their amazing meatballs to their lighter, veggie-forward options. ​Stockhome has easily become one of my favorite spots for a delicious, nutrient-dense lunch that feels special. Tack så mycket! 🇸🇪🍋”

“Best location with excellent coffee drinks.”

“Delightful food large servings friendly service”

“Everything was fabulous! So excited that Luma is open!”

“My friend and I recently discovered this restaurant. We’ve been looking for a good khao soi place & this hits the spot! The pad Thai is okay. But we will return for the khao soi! I also enjoy that parking is easily available here versus other restaurants in Petaluma.”

“using local ingredients, Belfare creates delicious high-quality foods to share with our community. if your looking for a delicious, healthy meal to fill up your mind body and soul, try Belfare. From Catering to brick and mortar I highly recommend Belfare.”

“Really top notch sushi, wonderful service and staff. We are thrilled to have found this place and will be back! Can’t wait to try some of the interesting dessert choices.”

“The crab chowder is to die for and the pastries are so delicious ❤️”

“Very good food and good service. Great atmosphere.”

“My family and I have been going to Brixx since we moved to Petaluma when my daughter was born 14 years ago. We have always loved their food, ambiance and local family service. Considering how busy they are I usually call ahead and ask for the corner table in the back and they always seem to come through. Tonight my daughter and her friend had their Taekwondo mid term testing for their 2nd degree black belt test. I knew they would be starving afterward and knew Brixx would be the perfect place to reward them afterwards. It was on a Friday so I figured they would be busy. I called and Noel the owner answered and said they were slammed until at least 8:15. We were hoping to get the girls fed a bit earlier so I thanked him for checking and was happy they were busy. 5 minutes later he calls me back and said he could get us a 4 top table at 7:30 but probably not the corner booth which I was super happy about. When we got there they were packed but had a reserved sign for us on the corner booth! Brixx is an awesome, local family owned business that have great food, cozy ambiance and every time we have been there the owners are there bartending, waiting tables, running food or whatever they need to do to run a good business. This place is a Petaluma Gem and I feel bad I am just now giving them a 5 star review. Thank you Noel and his wonderful wife and staff for your hard work.”

“I have been going to hectors pizza for about 30 years now recipe workers everybody there are still the same will continue being my favorite pizza”

“Wow! What a treasure! A diner that's not greasy and offers healthier food. The servers are amazing. Pumpkin blueberry pancakes! Potatoes that are fresh, flavor with an optional dollop of sour cream. Wonderful Greek omelet with fresh spinach.
I'd be here everyday if I could.”

“as usual: Great hamburger, fries and for the money can't be beat. Only one irritation occurred last week (this only happened once) : we were enjoying our usual No. 2 order, when a young lady about 24 or 25 accompanied by a slightly older woman, both well dressed, came to our table and wanted us to buy their lunch. We refused, they returned to their table fronting Lakeville, and subsequently hit up another diner, who succumbed and bought their food. Blessings to him for his generosity, but we didn't appreciate being panhandled as we sat enjoying our lunch. hope it doesn't happen again or In&Out will have lost two paying regular customers.”

“We read Houston’s article in the Argus about Urban Deli and had to try it. It was everything he proclaimed. I tried the Mediterranean Platter and everything was delicious - the falafel were uniquely spiced and not too salty which mixes often are. My husband tried the chicken schwarma platter and the walnut baklava and enjoyed them both. The customer service was excellent. So excited to have this new deli downtown.”

“My favorite restaurant! super friendly staff, always fresh fish and produce. I love the poke bowl but, they also have poke burritos and boba tea with house made boba. I come here every time I visit Petaluma.”

“Great customer service! Food is good and plentiful! Nice atmosphere!”

“I LOVE ROY & HIS FOOD, A GREAT PLACE TO EAT !!!!!!”

“Meat pie was really good, crust was awesome, packed with pulled pork and sauteed onions, had a great flavor.”

“The BEST sandwiches in town. I, personally, think they are a much better quality than when it was Mr. Pickles. Much friendlier staff and owner. I rate this 10 stars. Love the vegetarian sando on Dutch crunch with Swiss and Baja sauce. Chicken salad sando excellent too. All good! Fresh”

“Everytime we go, I get the chicken fried steak and my hubby gets the special or something else on the menu he hasn't tried and we LOVE, LOVE, LOVE their food!!! My hubby said Two Niner Diner was one of five places that he likes!!!”

“The Keokuk is amazing!! Can’t wait to try other things on the menu!”

“Great food atmosphere great staff”

“Some of the kids games were broken and that was a major bummer. Either they.should remove the game/ coton candy maker machine or have someone there who can get it up and running.”

“Went to do an event with our food truck last week and came across this cute little place. The owner was super nice. Had the dirty Chai. Omg so so good. Wish they were located in Sacramento so I could go everyday. I see why they stay so busy. If we are ever in Petaluma again will definitely be stopping by.”

“Several times a week I enjoy Peet’s coffee with a friend after our morning walk. When we enter the store Renee is usually at the counter flashing her beautiful, welcoming smile! She is always gracious and upbeat while providing outstanding service! She is a gem.”

“Was drawn in by weekend specialty pasta - so delicious and comforting Pork Bolognese - nice wine choices to pair; friendly & attentive service.”

“This is our favorite restaurant to celebrate special occasions in Petaluma. The food is full of flavors and the meats are cooked perfectly. All the specials are unforgettable and leaving you wanting more. You can tell the chefs put their heart and soul into making every dish.”

“Possibly the most delicious & soul satisfying meal we’ve ever eaten. 👏”

“Everything was So good! There were 15 of us and we all enjoyed everything”

“Excellent service but a bit too pushy for my liking.
Still, all the dishes ranged from vary good to outstanding.

A bit pricey but you get what you pay for.
Can't keep us away.”

“Great food and service. Will go back !”

“The view and atmosphere are fantastic here. The food is delicious and the staff are all friendly and fun. I highly recommend Ayawaska!”

“Stumbled upon this gem while at an nearby event. Pizza is amazing! The crust was perfect! The staff were very friendly and service was wonderful! Will be back if ever in the area.”

“Our food was excellent. Brother had prawns in a spicy ranchero sauce he ate every bite said it was addicting! I had a chicken chimichanga the chicken was super fresh and yummy the rice was outstanding! My husband had the chili relenos combo he lived every bite! Great Mexican food!!”

“We were very excited to try this place out and really enjoyed trying the seasonal brisket and meatball tagine. My husband loved the creative cold brew coffee options and the horchata was delicious (warning though the serving size for the horchata is very small).

I really loved the persimmon bread dessert. Reminded me of a richer version of my family persimmon bread.

I appreciated that the cost includes the tip as that is how it should be (supporting the staff in the price). We will return to try their changing tasty menu.”

“What a great spot! Very large and open. Inviting and cozy at the same time. Good pub food, with a little bit above average/quality of food. Beers of course are on par.”

“Best lamb momo, seafood kabab”

“Awesome food! Lunch menu is great. Too much to eat! But I’ll eat it for dinner too!”

“Great place, excited for them opening up a second location.”

“We went here for my birthday…with a toddler.. and they made us feel SO welcome! Nothing more authentic in all of West County, the prime rib was PERFECT, and the experience was lovely.”

“Neil not only makes a really great coffee beverage he is super consistent and it's always great! Not every coffeehouse makes a consistent cup. I have to be really careful with added sugars and Devine Mother Tea and Coffee makes the best Sugar Free Vanilla latte around. For your next cup go find the little Divine Mother Tea and Coffee booth!”

“Excellent food, great service and ambiance.”

“We are so grateful to HenHouse Brewing for their generosity in donating beer for our fundraiser to help save dogs in Contra Costa County. Their support helped make our event a huge success, and the beer itself? Absolutely phenomenal.

What makes HenHouse beer so special is how it’s made: always fresh, unfiltered, and unpasteurized. Brewed in small batches with an eye toward quality and creativity, each flavor bursts with vibrant hop character and balance. HenHouse has built a reputation for brewing with intention—showcasing the artistry of hops while keeping drinkability front and center. I agree. DELISH.

Our guests loved the lineup and I borrow this writing from online descriptions:
- Hollow Moon IPA – Bursts with tropical guava and piña colada notes from Mosaic and Sabro hops, perfectly balanced.

- Frozen Envelope IPA – A hazy, juicy treat, dripping with orange, pineapple, guava, and grapefruit. It looked like a creamsicle in a can and tasted even better.

- Big Chicken Double IPA – Bold and brimming with hops (Mosaic, Simcoe, Amarillo, and more), this is HenHouse at its hop-forward best.
Best Life Blonde Ale – Smooth, crisp, and lightly hoppy, the perfect can to crack open any time. And great graphics!

Not only were the beers a hit, but HenHouse’s generosity and community spirit shone through. They did not just donate—they partnered with us in creating a fun, memorable experience, and I'm confident they got alot of fans post-event.

Simply put, HenHouse Brewing represents the best of Northern California craft beer: inventive, community-minded, and always brewed with passion and care. Plus their graphics are so fun!

We can’t thank them enough!”

“Great time with Wes and Sam. Just stopped in from Mn on vacation and were welcomed by many locals. This place is a classic and is a must stop”

“Delicious authentic BBQ at Decent prices (maybe go down $ on the sides and Oysters) Besides that, It's Great!”

“We had the mandu, kimchi pancakes, and beef bulgogi. Everything came out hot and delicious + of course their banchans were perfectly flavored and cooked / pickled.”

“Lovely atmosphere, stellar wines & food & service”

“Got the chicken pesto it was delicious first time at Sonoma sourdough sandwiches and I highly recommend and I love the bread here it’s exactly what I was looking for since I moved here from the Mideast”

“I had the most wonderful time at Mad Batter! I came in for a last minute large order of desserts for a potluck I was going to and they helped me out so fast!! They recommended things to me based on like budget, taste, what would be most shareable, all the things!! Everyone there was soooo sweet AND they even walked me out to my car with an umbrella because it was pouring rain 😭🩷 Love this place you need to check them out! I wish I had photos, the desserts got DEVOURED because of how good they were. But I got the brownies, ms. Dollies, keylime and lemon squares!!! And then they gave me a peppermint cookie on the house which was just the icing on the cake🥲🥲🥲 They’re seriously awesome people!”

“Best sushi, and great service!”

“Great food got the mocajete, but why do they have big chunks of tomato and onion in it. Very skimpy with the chicken and meat. 40$ for no reason not very exciting. Flavor is wonderful.”

“I can’t thank Charles enough for the superior customer service that he extended to me! Took the time to explain the app. Understood when we had a sickness and had to cancel the order. Then so graciously helped me again to place the order when we figured out when we could do the party. Charles delivered the pizza and add on’s with right on time with a huge smile on his face! A pleasure to deal with! Thanks again Charles! Happy Holidays!”

“Great farm to table fresh meals! Im hopelessly addicted to the Chicken Faro Salad. Great, friendly staff. I highly recommend eating here.”

“Lively, fun, very knowledgeable and helpful folk on the bar, the best beer selection I know. A lot of different people who like to meet others.”

“Can not say how much we loved the bartender! He was so welcoming and funny. We had delicious fish and chips, they have tartar or cocktail sauce or malt vinegar. Perfection! Very chill vibe in the meticulously clean bar and really nice TVs to watch any game. Thanks so much!”

“great friendly staff good drinks and good people”

“Grab a seat at the bar and enjoy some of the friendliest bartenders in all of Petaluma (especially Cat)! The entire staff is wonderfully laid back, genuine and truly happy to be there, which makes us very happy to be there as well!”

“Excellent food, drinks and service”

“best taco's hands down!!”

“Always good food served fast when on a time crunch”

“A nice quiet breakfast experience! Food was good, service was great!”

“Had lunch there today. I had a French dip sandwich made of prime rib.. I had the sandwich, packed with prime rib, plus au jus. The fun was crispy, but not ready. As a side, they provided tater tots, which I happen to love. I asked if I could also have a side of coleslaw, which was delicious and was added without charge. It was about the best French dip that I’ve ever had in 67 years. The bun was crispy, but not heavy. Dipped into the au jus, it was heaven.They are good hearted people, and they should be patronized.”

“great”

“High quality sushi, super clean environment, high ceilings modern decor. Only problem- they all still wear masks. Foolishness! (RN here and I know the truth). Highly recommended sushi fare.”

“Been wine club member for many years Jason know how to pick awesome wines 🍷great place to come for a nice glass of wine and talk to David!”

“We love Fuji come here at least once a week. Nothing compares, hands down the best”

“Hubby and I love the Pizza. The Pizza was huge, yummy, and it's not greasy. We will come back again soon.”

“Stellina is probably the only place in Petaluma with international quality standards. The price is moderate but the products that are received for it justify it. I've been going to this place for a couple of weeks and it really doesn't disappoint at all .5 Stars.”

“definitely unprofessional not ok to tell a customer that even though the person taking your order over the phone messed up your order then you call then rude employee female at 6:30 pm answer the phone saying they can resend it out but charge me delivery fee again which is not ok or how it works I worked for domino's for a few years now and we don't do bussiness like that at all its unprofessional to lie to a customer then when the customer ask for a manger you don't put them on hold for 15 minutes and you over hear the person on the phone say just great saying not professional things about the customer completely rude and employee needs written up an reprimanded for this type of behavior but the manager is going to make it right but no customer should ever have to wait 45 minutes more to get there correct order completely not ok hopefully the GM and the district manager will look into the store off bear valley in apple valley to train there employees in proper procedures and professional way to handle customer service we order all the time never have these type of issues very disappointed”

“very nice and good food”

“Great Sandwich, had the Brooklyn Bridge it was delicious”

“Drive-thru line was crazy long, but the super friendly staff were quick and efficient to have everyone through in no time, and our coffee was good! �”

“Super tacos and breakfast burritos are outstanding”

“As a professional barista, I have a higher standard for coffee than most and will refuse to drink from most commercial roasters. Acre coffee is one of the best experiences I've had in a coffee shop yet. Legitimately good coffee, friendly faces, great atmosphere and an eagerness to bring you back in. 9/10. When coffee is this good, a long line can bring a wait time but the coffee, food and pastries are still well worth it”

“This is a great place for lunch or dinner. Fresh ingredients in salads and pizza toppings. Friendly service. Lots of options which are inexpensive. The Petaluma Extreme Pizza is the best! 🍕”

“Great on everything we just came across it and was quite inside so we was a bit doubtful but we went in and all was great quick service and very friendly and the food was great very recommended”

“Me atendieron muy bien y excelente”

“OMDOG!! Thank you!! Your burger is as good as I remember it from Java Jacks. I highly recommend your burger to anyone. Thank you again! You rock!”

“This is the most delicious, intentionally crafted, fascist-free bread. For some reason a lot of right wingers have a hard time digesting it, but it goes down real smooth if you have more than 3 brain cells! Kids love it!”

“My family and I drive over an hour just to have their food. Top notch. Food is always great and service is too. You won't be disappointed!!!”

“Great place with great wings and a nice staff. You can tell they care about the food they serve. So that was a little weird😉. Thanks for the wings, they were most num num, will wing again for sure. Here's your bag of emoji for the win, as is customary 🙏🏻🌟🏆🥇(gold stars can be picked up after 4, you must have your id and ticket for theoretical internet dollars - NO EXCEPTIONS)”

“I came threw town and stopped at Bianchini's. I got a Roasted turkey breast sandwich. It had this pesto mayo inside that was super good. The meat tasted fresh and the roll was fresh baked. The man that took my order was really nice and I thought overall that they had good customer service. Would go back if back in the area.”

“$1 drip coffee and the best iced mocha on the west coast! 😎”

“as usual: Great hamburger, fries and for the money can't be beat.

“We dined at Taps On The River for the first time last evening. I was so impressed with the service and friendly atmosphere. We chose our table inside by the large windows that looked out on the River. Our server was Jessica and she was simply wonderful. She was very attentive throughout the meal but not intrusive (give this lady a raise!). The food was wonderful. Plenty of choices for all. I might suggest that you put something chocolate on the dessert menu. Thank you all for a delightful evening.”

“Four of us had an awesome experience last Friday night at Jan’s 256. Our server, Alice was especially attentive to our needs and wants. Our meals were spot on as usual. Jan’s short ribs are the best in town and the fish and chips were perfection. Always enjoy being at 256.”

“High quality sushi, super clean environment, high ceilings modern decor. Only problem- they all still wear masks. Foolishness! (RN here and I know the truth). Highly recommended sushi fare.”

“I LOVE ROY & HIS FOOD, A GREAT PLACE TO EAT !!!!!!”

“I'm so glad my friend suggested this place. The Med. salad was excellent!!! The place is nice and open and clean and service very good.”

“Great service. Lovely server. We all had the beet salad which was very good and our Mediterranean pizza was delicious ! Our friends said the same about their fig and pig pizza. The menu was awesome and we had a hard time deciding what to have...could have had a little of everything. My husband tried the local Rohnert Park pilsner which he really enjoyed and the server recommended a nice Sauvignon Blanc. It's a noisy place but was a nice energy. They have an outdoor area which I would not have enjoyed in cool weather but I can see it would be fine when weather is warm. All in all a wonderful find. Will definitely return.”

“Great food, service and beer and wine selection.”

“You must visit! The ribs and pork chop combos were to die for! Tender, juicy meat and huge sides. Also, there was an issue with my order and the manager, Aaron, promptly took care of it with courtesy, kindness, and respect. Amazing family vibe and awesome staff … We will be back soon!”

“Love love LOVE Denny's! Where else can you go for nachos or pancakes at 3AM?”

“Country bar, local flavor. Reminds me of the Lost Dog in East Dennis, just a lot more history as it was founded in 1859.”

“Best location with excellent coffee drinks.”

“Went for lunch. The ambience is sophisticated and chic. The music playlist is soft and jazzy/clubby. We had Cobb salads - one without blue cheese, and they made a special dressing for it. I can decidedly say it was the best salad I've ever had. We ordered the soup which again was outstanding. They had a light kind of chili oil on it I think - not too hot. It was exceptional. We also ordered the potato chips with dip. Yum. The salad, potato chips and dip with champagne, can't get any better. We are all coming back for sure. Highly recommend.”

“Hubby and I love the Pizza. The Pizza was huge, yummy, and it's not greasy. We will come back again soon.”

“Easily the closest example of a french bakery/Patisserie since I moved to the US from Burgundy in 2015. I had the pleasure of France’s best baker/pastry chef being my local, in Dijon. These pastries at Sarmentine are very close. The almond-pear tartelette is my current go-to, and the macarons are sublime!”

“I will definitely come back. Good things come in small packages. Quality of food was excellent and Ben, my server is happy and enthusiastic about this company. I know why.”
