“We had never been here before, stopped randomly as we found ourselves passing by the area. We were prompted accommodated. The staff were very personable. The food was exquisite. Appreciate the kid's menu at such a wonderful establishment. Had the scallops and they were delicious. Didn't take photos of the appetizers or dessert but they were absolutely delicious. 10/10 recommend!”
“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! 🇸🇪🍋”

“I arrived 1/2 hour before closing and placed an order to go - we were camping nearby. The family quickly got to it while Afir visited with me. He was an awesome and attentive host and chatted with me on a variety of topics while I waited. Returning to camp my wife and I enjoyed the excellent cuisine. The chicken tikka masala, naan and vegetables were delicious. We could have split one meal, but I’m glad we ordered two—no cooking tonight!”
“All u folks who claim the food was amazing or delicious have never actually tasted great food b4 n ur life ans taste buds rnt working, if so u would think differently about this place. food is tasteless, was served brownish lettuce. tables were filthy, a member of my party got sick starting throwing up after leaving and now in bed. had to fight flies for my food. fries were as hard as bricks and hollow. way over priced for what was served. nasty flea bag non service dogs all over the place.”
“We had a really great meal here! The food was quite memorable and we loved the fun/cute touches like the custom folded napkins. We had no problem with their spiciest peppers but we have family from SEA and are used to them, they are the real thai chilis so be careful :) Just know, they are turning the lights off and ready to walk out the door at closing time, so I’d arrive at least an hour before closing.”
“Been awhile since I have been here. Still top notch, pizza selection is many, I do wish they had salami, but many good options. Hot tasty and good crust. The William Tell salad is my favorite. Plus a healthy selection of wine and my favorite, Whiskey. It can be a little loud on a Sat evening but the place is hopping.”

“We've been enjoying Korean food at Soban for many years. Danny and his wife are excellent hosts and very good chefs. I served in the US Army in South Korea in 1969/1970 and ate a lot of Korean food. Danny and his crew do an excellent job, and I highly recommend both the meat and the vegetarian choices.”

“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.”
“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.”
“The chile verde enchiladas in this place are AMAZING!!! For certain I will be coming back for more. Oh, one more thing, the waitpersons are friendly and attentive. Love this place!”
“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.”

“The food is always special here. Pearl is owned and operated by a been there done that couple who know how to run a great restaurant and present superb food in a casual neighborhood restaurant setting. The Capp du Monde is an otherworldly coffee experience, but the wine is always good too. Go there, relax, eat, and enjoy yourself.”
“Just checked out this place for the first time yesterday (9/5/26); took my family out for dinner. Amazing! The food was incredible! The ambiance and menu is family friendly. Understandably busy but also there is enough table spacing, so you don't feel like a sardine. The presentation was beautiful and service is authentic and friendly. You can tell there is a lot of care behind both the food and the experience.
Reservations do require a credit card to hold, which is completely reasonable for a popular place like this.
Overall, we had a wonderful family dinner and were really impressed. It's exciting to have a place like this in Petaluma. We will definitely be back! Highly recommend!”
“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. :)”
“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!!”
“Was drawn in by weekend specialty pasta - so delicious and comforting Pork Bolognese - nice wine choices to pair; friendly & attentive service.”

“I love this place. The staff is fantastic, the beer is incredible, they have amazing food trucks on the regular. You go here, you can't miss. Parking can be tight at peak, consider coming by bike or transit!.
Edit in 2026 to say my review still stands. The beer is solid, the host great local events, the staff is dope, the food trucks are fire.”
“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.”
“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”
“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!”
“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.”

“The food is a cut above many typical Chinese restaurants. The wonton soup was especially good, as it is often not remarkable at other establishments. They were busy and the lady explained up front it would be a 30 minute wait. She brought out our apps first, then soup, and by then, dinner was right behind. She was very apologetic about the wait and attentive. Would return!”
“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 family and I have been coming here since 2009. Their quality and service has always been consistent. They treat you well and the food is the best. Theyre a wing place (obviously) but my favorite thing on their menu is the cheese steak sandwich. You can never go wrong with it. The same few men have been working the counter for years, and they're always kind. I cannot recommend this place enough. Far better than Wingstop or BWW as far as food and service.”
“If I could give What a Chicken 10 stars I would!
Their chicken is amazing! It tastes so good!!! It has the perfect amount of herbs, spices and smokey flavor! We paired it with mex rice, refried beans and fresh homemade tortillas that are out of this world delicious!!!
The staff is friendly too!”

Cheap Eats
“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.”
“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”
“Yesterday my family had Mariapalar ice cream at an event, and it was absolutely delicious! I love the berries and cream bar! My Husband and son loved their Chocolate Dipped PB and Chocolate dipped vanilla. And we heard rave reviews from others at the event about the Peaches and Cream, Chocolate dipped mint and Cherry Lime. Can wait to try more!”
“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.”
“Their custom salads are my favorite. Choose a type of green (romaine, spring mix, etc.), and add ingredients, toppings and dressing. Nothing complex, but always good quality served with a smile. Their sandwiches are quite good, as well. One of the specials (as in, not available every day), is a Buffalo Chicken sandwich and is probably my favorite. The prices are reasonable for the quality and quantity of the food.
Parking: It is a large lot, shared by multiple tenants in the shopping center. I have never seen it more than 50% full.”
“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!”

“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.”

“Fantastic food. Indoor and outdoor seating. Food is phenomenal. Hella gluten free options. Extensive wine selection. Right off the river. Open kitchen. We hit it on a Friday night, so Petaluma was crackin. Live music on the deck next to the river. Great experience. Staff was accommodating and friendly. Good vibes”

“If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to eat pastries made by a fairy, go to Blooms End. We happened to show up when she reintroduced the Watermelon Sugar cake, each pastry was incredibly complex in its own unique way, we ordered 6 pastries and had to go back through the line to get more to share with friends and family. In addition to stunningly beautiful food, Mary is a beautiful storyteller. Her instagram posts and how she distills her life experience into each idea, it feels like each weekend is its own event, which it often is with whatever produce is in season. She’s also an incredibly lovely energy, if you’re looking for a dizzying morning of stunning food, ambiance, drive out to Blooms End.”
“As a Belgian, I am always on the lookout for an authentic French bakery. Sarmentine’s viennoiserie brought me back to early Sunday morning at home and I loved it! I was especially grateful for their pain au raisin. My one qualm (and this may be controversial because the bakery is near SF) is that the baguettes are sourdough and not authentically French.”
“Owner served us land she was so sweet and knowledgeable of vegan diets. She was vegetation herself and advocated for the amazing vegan options! The musakhan with vegan tzatziki is a must, baba ghanouj and Arayes with impossible beef are awesome as well. Palestinian and Lebanese beer and wine options! So cool! Thank you!!

“After a short slow start, the crew at this restaurant proved to be extraordinary! Very nice, attentive, and personable. Suggestions from the team were welcome and enticing. The food was incredible!! Try the Locals night, simply fantastic experience. We will 100% visit again and often! Special thanks to Danny, Dre, and Ricky!!! -Joe”
“The coffee is delicious and made with care—I keep craving it\\! I especially love the Cubano\\. I also had the turkey pastrami sandwich, which was full of flavor and perfectly proportioned\\. What a surprise to find this little gem right off the freeway\\! Definitely worth stopping by\\.”
“I go here all the time since they opened and all I have to say is that this restaurant is the best one so far. Very clean and kind staff. Don't mind the low ratings. The people don't know a good place if it hit them in the face. Anyways can't say enough good thing about these people. Come here instead of the other ones near by. 10 Stars if I could.”
