The Hangout 2217 Morello Ave, Pleasant Hill Breakfast • $$
2217 Morello Ave, Pleasant Hill

“Solid brunch spot. Food was good, huge portions, and the option for bottomless mimosas. They have some good vegetarian options including an impossible patty. No reservations allowed, but you add your name to the check in list. Took about 30 minutes to get seated for a group of 4 (we arrived at 11am and were seated just after 11:30). We were seated in an outdoor tent that was a bit hot from the sun (no ventilation). Friendly servers and they were definitely busy. Were prompt on refilling mimosas though! Would return.Vegetarian options: Avocado salad was yummy. They also have egg and impossible pattysParking: Plenty of parking”

Jack's Restaurant & Bar 60 Crescent Dr Suite A, Pleasant Hill American • $$
60 Crescent Dr Suite A, Pleasant Hill

“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.”

Morgan Territory Brewing 40 Crescent Dr Suite B, Pleasant Hill Brewpubs • $$
40 Crescent Dr Suite B, Pleasant Hill

“I’ve been waiting for a high quality, good tasting, family friendly brewery to arrive in the deep east bay ( Martinez, concord, Walnut Creek, Pittsburgh, Dublin etc) to drink at after our family outings in the area and it finally arrived. All the other ones were just not good beer or service.From my understanding this brewery is originally from Tracy and opened this as a second location and all I have to say is thank the hop gods it’s here. Large menu featuring all sorts of beers from IPA more malt flavored, and even traditional German,English, and Scottish.The inside is nice and the local area is very classy and safe. The inside can be a tight squeeze for families and kids but we always see other families there for my kids to play with as well as having a park/ fountain connected right next door and a little outdoor seating area.If you want food there is lots of options nearby that they will allow you to bring in or order on the app but they don’t serve it themselves.The staff is always friendly and has great customer service. This has quickly turned into one of my favorite breweries in such a short time. Highly recommend!”

WiseGirl Restaurant, Bar, Live Music 1932 Oak Park Blvd, Pleasant Hill Italian • $$

“We've been to Wisegirl twice and had great food both times. We sit in their open "alcove" next to the actual restaurant, which works great for us -- with one exception. Both times, when our food came, we still had no table settings. We had to wait, and in one visit, had to ask twice. They need to bring table settings when they seat you or take your order.”

“All pros, no cons. Tzunun is a great place to wear a collared shirt out to dinner, or go have a casual bite and drink. Their bartenders and cooks know what they're doing and the serving staff provide wonderful service.Small menu, but enough variety for a large party to all have a different experience.When you go, I recommend coming hungry and trying multiple items!”

“Wanted jjajangmyeon (black bean noodles) and got it here. Added a little salt to taste and it was great!!! They also have bulgogi Kimbap (beef roll) which is a plus but the meat was slightly smoky tasting, but still tasted amazing! The restaurant was full of Koreans which is a good sign. I’ll have to come back and try some other dishes.”

Melo's Pizza & Pasta 1660 Contra Costa Blvd, Pleasant Hill Pizza • $$
1660 Contra Costa Blvd, Pleasant Hill

“You know who the more seasoned servers are- I know you have to learn along the way but they call it shadowing for a reason. If you want to work, get great tips, pay attention, have integrity, and huddle. Get off your damn phone, refill drinks, cold plates come with the salad and always provide a pizza server with a hot pizza. Ask if the customer wants pepper or Parmesan cheese on their salad/pizza. Besides that the food is always amazing every single item. The seasoned servers know who they are and I always ask to sit in their section!”

It was a plated dinner with hors d'oeuvres. My NY steak was perfect! Huge portion and tender. My family and I will be back for a regular sit-down dinner.Wheelchair accessibility: There are two entrances. One in front and a larger lot in the rear of the restaurant.

2203 Morello Ave, Pleasant Hill

“So fun and beautiful! The food and atmosphere was perfect for a special occasion with friends. Very comfortable seating, lots of options for meat eaters and the vegetarian/vegans in our group. We both ordered different dishes with shrimp and enjoyed them. The belly dancing was fun and we all got to dance and be involved as much as we wanted. I recommend that you make a reservation for dinner and check when the belly dancer will perform. We brought some cash to tip the dancer. She was amazing! If you don't make a reservation, you can walk in and there is a bar where I also saw people eating.Dietary restrictions: There were vegan, vegetarian, fish, and meat options.Kid-friendliness: I did not bring kids but saw some children here.”

“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!”

Sichuan Fortune House 41 Woodsworth Ln, Pleasant Hill Chinese • $$
41 Woodsworth Ln, Pleasant Hill

“Went out for lunch with 3/10/24 Sichuan is located in a quiet area. Outside, no wannabe macho men making vehicular racket. Inside, no misbehaving parents training their children to be noisy neighbors. My not so clean daughter had Some Nerve to complain about smudge in her teacup. The waiter explained that "the cups are clay and the tea stain is impossible to remove". I'm thinking of calling it tea patina maybe? The service and presentation was Fine, Almost Everything tasted delicious. That interesting Szechuan spice yummy umm. Moist pork shoulder with crunchy and chewy skin oh yes.. Lip numbing tofu squares pressing sweetly on my tongue! Save me! Take me back for more! Ok I'm getting carried away but it was a very good meal and worth 60 miles on the odometer. Almost all the dishes were perfect. The only complaints? The potsticker wrapper was a bit chewy. Also the Walnut Prawns were conspicuously short on walnuts and one son wanted more sweet sauce on them. I found them refreshingly not too sweet. Check out the pics. And visit my new gem in Pleasant Hill.”

“We are diehard fans of Okini Sushi, since they were located on Pleasant Hill Rd. We always get a Chicken Katsu or Teriyaki Dinner Bento & a roll, or a bowl is Chicken Udon soup. I don't think there's any 'bad' order here - I also love their hot green tea (flavored with toasted rice).Service is exceptional; this is one of the local places I'd love to see around for decades.”

“First time in my life trying sushi with beef and lobster. Definitely an interesting mix of flavors to try but although they seperatly tastes great, I wouldn't order the same thing again and would stick to the classics. Everything on the menu is delicious and worth a try. Food 10/10, however very slow service which is why I'm giving it 4 stars. Would go back again but just not go hungry because the wait may be long.”

My favorite are pretty much anything that's spicy, the hot sauce they use is delicious. My daughter likes the brisket and pretty much fills up on that over a rice bowl.My only complaint is how expensive it is. So we only go on special occasions or when we have the extra money for it.Atmosphere is beautifully lit and we enjoy sitting at the booth seating.Kid-friendliness: We bring our kids and they enjoy the food and helping on the grill.”
