The Local 1201 Redwood Way, Petaluma Sandwich Shop • $

“I love this spot, each time I go it is consistently delicious. It is evident that a lot of intention and care goes into the menu, quality, and service. A+ in my book, and I rarely am down to pay $15+ for a sando. Some may find that pricey but THESE ARE GOURMET STATUS AND VERY MUCH WORTH IT.Pictured top to bottom: Bahn Mi (inspired) and the Point Reyes.Tbh this is my second review because I just appreciate this spot and want to see it succeed and stay open. Also the owner is very kind and courteous and deserves it.If I get a membership at the gym it is located within, it will be in part due to The Local :)”

Stonework Pizza & Tap 615 E Washington St, Petaluma Pizza • $$

“This is one of our go to spots for pizza! We've always had a good experience here, with good service. There's a bar seating, tables and booths. We mainly come here because of the good, maybe best vegan pizza options in Sonoma County, they have a whole section Vegetarian and Vegan section on menu. They also offer gluten free crust. And have a good selection of beers, including one NA beer. The biggest size pizza they offer is 12" that's my only complaint, wish they offered bigger sizes to share more and have leftovers, because it's good! We recently ordered the Down to Earth pizza with their regular crust and it was really good! And I always make a dash over to Whole Foods next door for some vegan ranch! They have pizza slices. This place is good good and definitely recommend and we will continue to come here!”

“This place is so cute for breakfast. We came on Sunday morning around 11am and there was a line, but we ate outside. They have great setup under a canopy with outdoor heaters so it was best of both worlds. Loved the Mayan Tipico - the plantains were delicious! I do think they overdid the eggs a bit (burnt). Hubby ordered the Greek Omelet which was as really nice. Chai latte was also different and delicious. My hubby doesn't like coffee but that was a nice change for him. We both enjoyed our breakfast.”

“I moved to Sonoma 4 yrs ago and have no idea where to go to get anything as tasty as Chunky's. I haven't been back to have lunch in that time. So, I called last week to order a flautas plate with rice and beans. Yum, it's still the same delicious food...Omgoodness Yey. The owner is always so nice and polite. He greeted me with a Hi and a smile. The food was ready in 10 minutes, it was 11:30 am, so it was beginning to get busy. As for cleanliness, it was very clean as always from memory and pretty quiet even with people starting to roll in. They have seating inside but there are a few tables right outside with trees for shade, if you prefer. I will always continue to recommend Chunky's for flavorful food and great prices.”

Seared 170 Petaluma Blvd N, Petaluma Steak House • $$$

“Great happy hour! Nice food bites and affordable prices. Always friendly service. Critique is for the odd layout for host stand. When busy, not an easy place to stand and wait for a table. Sort of first come first serve when it comes to bar area, which led to others hovering over tables and jumping ahead to snag a table when others were waiting patiently for their turn. Besides that and it being a bit noisy, still is one of our favorite spots to visit whenever we're in Petaluma.”

“I lived in Italy for six months when I was younger and have been back several times and the fresh pasta a this restaurant reminded me of several restaurants I ate at while in Tuscany. My adult son and I went here after a day of antique shopping in Petaluma and the food was amazing - as was the staff and the prices were very good. My son had pork chops and said it was the best he has ever had. I had pappardelle and it was so fresh and both were very large portions, we were stuffed (in a good way). We also had two glasses of very reasonably priced house wines - red and white and enjoyed both. We started with a chickpea appetizer that was also very tasty. We did not have room for dessert but the menu looked very good. We saw the chef doing rounds, he was very nice and our waitress was knowledgeable, friendly and attentive.”

When we were given our food (which didn't take long at all) we were greeted by a very nice server. When looking around this cafe you will see the most beautiful paintings in all of California!

My only beef as it pertained to the food is they didn’t have regular yellow mustard (they did have dijon & wheat mustard). They have live music/bands playing with a ton of seats in and outdoor. This is a 5 out of 5 type of establishment. We loved it. And willing to drive 1 hour and 10 minutes to go back again.”

Oyama Sushi 175 N McDowell Blvd, Petaluma Japanese • $$

“I recently visited Oyama and tried their tonkotsu ramen, gyoza and dragon roll. While the food was delicious, I must admit that the service was not up to par. Once seated, I had to wait for an extended period before a server came to take my order. Despite the lackluster service, the food itself was exceptional. The ramen was flavorful and had a rich broth that was perfectly seasoned. The noodles were cooked to perfection, and the toppings added a nice touch to the overall dish. It was evident that they put a lot of effort into creating a delicious bowl of ramen. While, the food at this restaurant was undeniably good, the subpar service left a sour taste in my mouth. It's a shame that the lack of attentiveness overshadowed the delicious ramen. I hope the restaurant takes steps to improve their service in the future, as it would greatly enhance the overall dining experience.”

“Love, love love Henhouse!!!Staff are attentive to customer needs, from deftly answering questions about their beers to keeping the space safe and welcoming to everyone. It’s a lot, doing what they do in such a well-loved and well-visited establishment. Big props to the team here in Petaluma.I’d list my favorite beers from here, but for brevity, I’ll just say: if you like a good DIPA, this is the place for you.Something I like about Hen beyond the amazing bartenders, and the SUPER solid beer selection, is the fun and funky vibes they keep. Music is almost always right, patrons never seem to get too wild, and people are welcome to bring their groups, their families, and their well-behaved canine companions. Their food trucks always hit the spot (Shout outs to Api Hot Chicken and Bayou on the Bay!!) and their seasonal events are always fun and engaging.I feel like they value their customers and the community they have cultivated. Buncha cool chickens, they are. I’m definitely calling myself a loyal fan and customer.PS Bring back KORN Radio! Lol”

“Been coming here since they opened in late 70's. I've had pizza all over the world, including Chicago, NY, and throughout Italy, and always come back home here - this is the best, bar none. I always go for the double-crust, olive & mushroom, ask for pesto sauce on bottom layer and tomatoe for top, and add extra garlic. Over the years the crust on the bottom and middle has gotten a bit thinner, but it's still the best deep dish, double crust pie anywhere! Also, get a Lisa Isken salad to share, and finish with J.R. Rosen's cheesecake - you'll never have a better meal anywhere without a Michelin star. Prices have gone up over the years, but well worth it. Incredibly friendly & helpful staff. Genuine history in these walls, and oh so many great memories. (Look close at the brick walls, and you might see shells from where they dredged the Bay for sand to make the mortar. The bricks were made local too.) Downtown gets crowded so parking can be a challenge - be prepared to walk a block or two.”

Brixx Pizzeria 16 Kentucky St, Petaluma Pizza • $$

“Okay, folks, I've found it – the holy grail of pizza places! ? This mom-and-pop shop doesn't just serve pizza; they serve what might just be the best pizza in town. Walking in, you're greeted by those cozy red walls that just scream, 'Welcome, let's have a great time.' It's the perfect spot to chill with friends, grab some drinks, and dive into some seriously delicious pizza. For me, it gives NYC vibes! Pizza is thin with a crunchy crust!

Music is almost always right, patrons never seem to get too wild, and people are welcome to bring their groups, their families, and their well-behaved canine companions.

“Bagels are on point. I think maybe one of the best bagels I have found in Northern California to be honest. Now don't get your kishkes caught in a bunch with my next comment but the prices are way too high. I understand you are bringing high quality food and product and I wanted to try so much more and support your business but I cannot bring myself to pay $25 for a Reuben on a bagel. I offer this to you as advice with the understanding that I am not in the restaurant business. I know food is expensive to purchase and I know there are overhead expenses with staff and leasing, however, life is expensive now and there has to be a balance. There has to be a way to source good quality product that will allow prices to come in line and drive more volume. The matzah ball soup eaten at the table next to us looked amazing. As did the open face lox bagel but they split both dishes. Sure maybe they were not hungry or maybe they eat normal portions instead of huge portions like my fat tuchas or maybe they just didn't want to spend the extra dollars. Who knows but I would have ordered a Reuben for $18. I would have ordered a slice of babka for $5-6. Anyway - the food here - at least the bagel and shmear that I had is AMAZING and I only offer this as feedback. I hope to see a line out your door. I want to see you make your grandma proud. You are doing something so right and I will be back and I will splurge a little more. I just need to ease into it.”

This seems like a family business and I felt right at home with a nice greeting and friendly interactions with the various staff. I ended up ordering the egg plate with ham and fruit. I mentioned that I wasn't interested in the toast or dollar cakes and my waitress asked if I'd like more fruit. I said "yes" and "thanks very much!". Although the ham was a bit bland (I should be grateful that it wasn't too salty), there was a ton of food and I was pretty full when I left.

“Went with my family for the first time for my birthday and we had a great time!We got there just before 6pm and it was empty but by the time we left the restaurant was almost full so you may want to consider a reservation on weekends.We ordered way too much because we expected the portions to be smaller and were pleasantly surprised! Apps we got the green onion pancakes, pork potstickers, and bbq pork buns. The pancakes were a thick, fluffy pastry dough that was super crispy on the outside. I loved these! The potstickers were HUGE. You could easily make a light meal out of an order. For our mains we got spicy basil chicken, Manchurian beef, general's chicken, bbq pork fried rice, and spicy and hot string beans. I didn't find anything particularly spicy or notice any numbing spice from Szechuan peppercorns (granted I am getting over a cold lol). That said we loved our meal! For 4 people we ordered WAY too much but happily took it home. Overall we all loved the string beans (has a delicious garlicky sauce), Manchurian beef (fried and has a sweeter sauce), and general's chicken (fried with a savory/salty sauce). We loved that the rice had slices of bbq pork instead of small chopped pieces. I loved the basil chicken, but my family found it a bit too saucy. We also had a pot of hot tea for the table and drank probably 4 pots because it was a really nice jasmine tea, not bitter or overwhelmingly floral.Shoutout to Diana who checked on us throughout our meal, joked with us, and made us feel like we had been coming there for years. Honestly everyone we met was super nice.”

“Been coming here since they opened in late 70's. I've had pizza all over the world, including Chicago, NY, and throughout Italy, and always come back home here - this is the best, bar none. I always go for the double-crust, olive & mushroom, ask for pesto sauce on bottom layer and tomatoe for top, and add extra garlic. Over the years the crust on the bottom and middle has gotten a bit thinner, but it's still the best deep dish, double crust pie anywhere! Also, get a Lisa Isken salad to share, and finish with J.R. Rosen's cheesecake - you'll never have a better meal anywhere without a Michelin star. Prices have gone up over the years, but well worth it. Incredibly friendly & helpful staff. Genuine history in these walls, and oh so many great memories. (Look close at the brick walls, and you might see shells from where they dredged the Bay for sand to make the mortar. The bricks were made local too.) Downtown gets crowded so parking can be a challenge - be prepared to walk a block or two.”

“We took the tour and our guide Tyler was amazing! The beer was tasty as always and we got to try a few new ones. I recommend to take the tour, you get a tour of the facility, a history of the brand and get to meet really cool tour guides!”

“Classic taco spot. Nice people, good food, not too spendy!Kid-friendliness: They have a high chair and made a little quesadilla for us. Also got us sour cream for our little guy without saying something about it being extra!”

Eggspresso cafe 173 N McDowell Blvd suite B, Petaluma Breakfast • $

“Food: 5/5 Service: 3/5 Price: 4/5 Atmosphere: 3.5/5 TL;DR: An amazing little cafe with some of the best breakfast sandwiches in the Bay/Marin area. Whenever me or my family road trip north, we stop by here for their breakfast sandos. The cafe is fairly small, not a lot of indoor seating but they do have an outdoor patio. The staff were really nice but the service is really really slow; however, that could be because we were sitting outside. But the table next to us sat down after us and they got their water and food before we did -- they finished their entire meal before we even got ours (~12-15mins after) -- so that was a little upsetting. With you sandwiches, you can choose either potatoes, salad, or soup of the day as your side. Bacon, Egg, & Cheese Sando: *5/5*: We got this with brioche. The brioche was toasted well & soft. The bacon was crispy yet still had some chew to it and I loved how the yolk was still a little runny. They also put ketchup in the sandwich as well which I think tied everything together nicely. Sausage, Egg, & Cheese Sando: *5/5*: We got this with their homemade english muffin (highly recommend getting all sandwiches with the muffin). It's made from scratch, toasted really well, & super light & fluffy on the inside. The sausage & eggs were really good but the muffin made the sando for us. Wish we added avacado since that would've made it taste even better (but we forgot lol)”
