Restaurants in Petaluma

“Exquisitos bocadillos.y atención de primera.”

“We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch today here. Really fresh & flavorful food bursting with flavor. The service is splendid. I enjoyed a mushroom taco and my friend loved her tostada. The watermelon with tajin is immediately brought to your table with we found most refreshing. Excellent sangria too!”

“Crumbl Cookies Petaluma has quickly become our family’s go-to spot for those special moments that deserve something extra sweet. What sets this place apart isn’t just the incredible rotating menu of gourmet cookies it’s the genuine warmth you feel the moment you walk in. The staff here treats every customer like they’re picking out cookies for their own family. They’re patient with indecisive kids, generous with samples, and always happy to explain what makes each week’s flavors special. Last visit, they even helped my daughter choose the perfect birthday surprise cookies for her teacher. The cookies themselves are works of art thick, soft, and loaded with quality ingredients you can actually taste. Whether it’s their classic chocolate chip (which somehow tastes like childhood perfected) or one of their creative weekly specials, each bite feels like a small celebration. The pink boxes have become a symbol of good news in our house!”

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

“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.”

“The staff is friendly and helpful with dietary needs. We ordered pumpkin curry and vegetarian larb, both were very good. Curries can be ordered with tofu or vegetables.”

“The decor is sort of sparton, or should I say Viking...

Staff was very friendly. Place is clean.

I just went there for Kalles
It is about the only place in NorCal that has/had it.

Parking is manageable, least you don't have to pay for parking like in S. F.”

“Grand Central Petaluma isn't just another café—it's gives heart and soul to our community. Whether you're seeking a quiet moment with expertly crafted coffee while watching the river flow by, or looking for the perfect spot to connect with friends, this place delivers both solitude and connection in equal measure.

What truly sets Grand Central Petaluma apart is Natalie and Juan Carlos's vision as community builders. They've transformed this space into something extraordinary, regularly hosting everything from intimate art exhibitions, to lively children's and cultural events, and captivating live performances. You can feel the genuine care the owners pour into this community by providing a space to celebrate art, connection, and the unique spirit of Petaluma.

The coffee and food are exceptional, but it's the warmth and authentic charm that keeps drawing me back. A true local gem.”

“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.”

“Stopped in spur of the 7am moment and was treated like a regular, which everyone else was! Great corned beef with two pitched eggs, rye toast jam and yum! Service was great, homey and relaxed. For sure give it a try!”

“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!!!”

“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.”

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

“Food a way overrated. I'm from Texas, and very aware of real BBQ is. Kiosk prompts you to tip for someone touching in your order, Really? Also way overpriced for so called BBQ!!”

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

“First of all, they had egg nog lattes over the holidays!! It’s my favorite drink but was hard to find a good one last season. They have a great variety of drinks and are fast and friendly and easy to get into and out of. It’s my favorite coffee stop! ♥️”

“Great food and atmosphere”

“Excellent food and amazing service. The black cod was to die for. Make sure to get the onion soup. The chocolate fondant dessert and salted caramel ice cream were delicious. As a person in a larger body I found the chairs comfortable but it was definitely packed full and I was relieved they seated us by the window so it felt like there was more space. The service was excellent and the staff were so nice. Thoughtful wine list at accessible prices. Highly recommend.

Parking: Limited spaces in parking lot

Wheelchair accessibility: Call ahead to ensure space to accommodate comfortably.”

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

“Best lamb momo, seafood kabab”

“This is a gem!! The food was delicious. We had Cashew Chicken and Mongolian Beef with steamed rice. The Won Ton Soup was the best I've ever had. Not too salty with plenty of vegetables. My new favorite Chinese restaurant for sure!”

“Great food and service. Will go back !”

“Last night, at the Vault of Scottsdale, I had a marvelous experience with Adobe Road Wines and the TRG team. They had the iconic #66 TRG GT car that won the 24 Hours of Daytona victory, and they provided a marvelous collection of wines to the guests. Kevin Buckler and Callum were nice enough to give me a VIP pass to the event. The crew member for The Racers Group race team - Al - was very friendly and informative about the race team. He allowed me to sit in the car behind the wheel and get photos with it. The Vault also had a nice sports-car collection, and it was the perfect setting for the wine-tasting. Al and Cullum were nice enough to give me a tiny ARW token, and autograph some photos of the TRG GT America race-car I saw race in the streets of Nashville a few years ago. The food was delicious - the sweets with fruit, the cheese and crackers, and the best mashed potatoes I've had by far. The food was high-quality and I got to make some great connections. I wish I could attend every event that they host, but I will definitely return the next time they come to Arizona, hopefully for multiple events. Everyone - if they come to your location - this is a 100% great experience for both wine tasters and motorsports fans. Thanks to Kevin, Cullum, and Al for the terrific hospitality and VIP entrance. I admire and respect what Kevin Buckler is building up with Adobe and The Racers Group. If you're ever out in San Francisco area - go to Petaluma and visit their headquarters in-person. The scale is not high enough for me to justify the experience. So, I have to give it 5 out of 5. If not for the 5/5 scale, it'd be a 100/100. :)”

“My 5 girlfriends and I thoroughly enjoyed our lunch at Wild Goat Bistro! I had the Mediterranean pizza which was so delicious! Three friends had a salad and one had the meatball appetizer. Everyone raved about their food! There is so much on the menu to choose from! I will definitely be back!”

“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.”

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

“had meatballs. garlic knots. salad. wings and pizza. everyone loved each item. wow. its new in petaluma next to whole foods”

“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!”

“Oh my this place was good! Better than many of the Korean places I’ve been to in SF and Santa Clara… we drove up through an hour of traffic from south Marin and it was worth it. The husband-wife duo are so fast & efficient too. My only ask is please open a location in Marin! (We need you to rescue us from our Korean food desert)”

“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.”

“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.”

“Excellent food, great service and ambiance.”

“Ordered the gluten free cheesecake for my wedding, it was perfect. I haven't had such a good cheesecake in such a long time. Will check back in around my birthday about ordering a cake, or at least a cupcake.”

“great”

“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”

“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!!!”

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

“great friendly staff good drinks and good people”

“pretty tasty !!! got try it”

“We were spending the night in Petaluma and were searching for a good place to eat online. The menu looked good so we decided to go. The dining room was small, but clean and inviting. The man at the counter was friendly and welcoming. The samosas were flaky and delicious. The meat on the steak salad was so tasty and the salad was large and fresh. The person working recommended the Spicy Basil dish, and it did not disappoint. The food was so good,if we lived here we would eat here all the time.”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“best taco's hands down!!”

“Food is delicious! We had the beet salad, blt sandwich, mushroom turnover, red lentil soup, lavender coffee, Arnold Palmer lemonade and the carrot cake WTH the yummiest frosting and the pb&j granola bar!
Would highly recommend eating here! You won’t be disappointed! 😊”

“Great service. Great food. We will be back. Please put braised short ribs back on the menu.”

“Been eating in house and to go at this Chinese restaurant for the last 16 years. Family run and they always remember our order via phone or in person. Consistantly good, fresh made food. Best in town and we don't go anywhere else to get Chinese food. Pot stickers , won ton soup, chicken soup, prawns dishes and veggies are always great.”

“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)”

“Best sushi, and great service!”

“Super fun location in the Alley! It was busy, but from order to received item was maybe 5 minutes. Soft serve was ok. We got a slush shake and it was good. There’s a lot to read on the menu and it all scrunched up on a board. Had different things you could add to your slush.”

“I come here every so often on lunch and I must say it has been a pleasant visit when eating here!! I want to give a special thanks to Roshil he is truly amazing and helpful!! I love this place and I highly recommend you come and eat here :)”

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

“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.”

“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”

“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!”

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

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

“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.”

“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.”

“My 5 girlfriends and I thoroughly enjoyed our lunch at Wild Goat Bistro! I had the Mediterranean pizza which was so delicious! Three friends had a salad and one had the meatball appetizer. Everyone raved about their food! There is so much on the menu to choose from! I will definitely be back!”
