50 Best American Restaurants near Port Costa

“Totally worth the drive to fish and see Barbara when they open for lunch.. Barbara is totally awesome. Cash only don't worry. There is ATM in the back. Large food and alcohol selection. We had no problems finding a seat on a Saturday afternoon. Plenty of amazing outside seating looking at the lake. Side note my friend comes here occasionally and fishes on the straight. He took me here today and we almost caught a Sturgeon together.“

“Great place to celebrate my moms birthday!! 🎉“

“Heck ya!! What a fabulous dining experience! It’s a cozy restaurant in downtown Martinez. Definitely recommend making reservation as this place can be super packed esp. during live music hours. Everything we ordered, from their daily specials, to locally sourced ingredients give you a farm to table kind of dining venture. The house cocktails are refreshing-ly good. If you have a sweet tooth, their in-house desserts to finish off your meal-perfect amount of sweetness! Can’t wait to be back for more!“

“I’m a sandwich (and Italian hoagie) aficionado, constantly seeking out the best. I actually have an entire category of sandwich shops and deli’s saved on my phone. I will drive (or more likely ride my motorcycle 2+ hours just to try a new place.

Take it from me: Lucia’s is a rare gem. Five stars. Terrific bread, thinly sliced meats and cheese, fresh produce, homemade spread: they had it all.

And LOTS of it. I knew as soon as I picked up the bag: huge, loaded sandwich. I couldn’t get my mouth wide enough to get the whole thing at once. Then, I could only eat half. I brought the other half home and my wife could only eat half of that half. I enjoyed the rest the next day.

I should’ve taken a picture but was too busy devouring the thing. I will definitely be back, and I will remember to take a picture then. It’s as good an excuse as any for a return visit. See you there.“

“We enjoy the food and friendly service. It is our go to place after a swim or on evenings when we don't want to cook and it is consistently delicious. Thank you to the hard working team at the cocina for creating a space for locals to est good food.“

“Their mimosas are very tasty and the staff is friendly and quick with service. I have tried their original Benedict and Western burger in the past which both were delicious. This time I tried their chorizo burrito and it was very good 😊 definitely recommend if you want a nice regular spot!“

“The food and coffee are fresh! While there was little to no egg in my bagel sandwich the bacon was fresh and it was delicious. There’s plenty of space in there and family friendly and easy to park. It bit pricy for the lack of egg in bagel sandwich but overall delicious.“

“Their oyster po boy is top notch, jumbolaya is right up there. This a great eatery. The mission now is to wade through their entire menu. Dog friendly outdoor seating.“

“Experience exceptional dining at Jack restaurant, where the waitstaff and bartender provide top-notch service with a smile. They take the time to ask about your meal and ensure that every detail meets your satisfaction.“

“This hidden gem was delightful! Everything was delicious, from the lemon and cucumber flavored spa water to the crème brûlée.“

“Had a wonderful breakfast here with my mom and daughter this week. I have lived in the area a long time and this is my first trip here. I I'm definitely returning. I had the fiest omelette, which comes with a side of sour cream, pico de gallo, and a wonderful medium hot sauce. It was a wonderful combination of tastes. The hash browns were perfectly golden and the toast was warm and buttered. My coffee cup was never empty and the service was really good. Love the wood interior It feels like a Tahoe restaurant. Good ambience and five. There are a few tables out front on the sidewalk. If you haven't been here you definitely should give it a try.“

“Yummy, friendly service. The corn pancakes were crisp and the salsa was just amazing. The biscuits were good but enormous. Might try another starch next time.

Note: There are older reviews of this place stating that they do not take credit cards, but they have changed their policy since then and definitely accepted our credit card today.“

“This spot is the most absolute amazing food and drinks and service out there. Every single food item I had has been outstanding!“

“So I have the cheeseburger and garlic fries. The garlic is not just a powdered sprinkled on it is actually handmade and put on the fries it is phenomenal. And the amount of fries they give you wow they're just over the top. The cheeseburger that I got had real beef. Not the stuff you see at McDonald's this is real beef like what you buy at your own barbecue at home. A cheeseburger and fry filled me up. The fries were crispy and not limpy like most other restaurants. When coming here you're going to get a quality meal. I'm going to be coming back here I hope you will too.“

“Love the food and the place. Worth a drive❣️. Kind people too.“

“Love.this.place.100% AWESOME! From the moment we walked in, we felt like guests in a welcoming place, after a long day of appointments, we were in search of refuge in the form of chips and salsa, a stiff drink and maybe a plate of nachos before an hour long trek back home to SF. We had the street tacos, rice and beans with chips and salsa. Delicious is an understatement! If you want awesome food, a nice place to eat, indoors or out, OR you prefer street side at a table to people watch, indoors for air conditioning, or there's ALSO - the back courtyard with shade and privacy, plenty of seating, fans for hot days or heat lamps for cold nights... THIS PLACE ROCKS! I may regret telling people how awesome this place is but it needs to be recognized. We are picky. This is only my 2nd review...EVER. Thank you, 709 <3 Joel and Heather“

“We just had the most awesome breakfast at The Hangout in Martinez. I ordered the Chicken and Waffles. It had just the right amount of crunchy spicy sweet goodness. Fast and friendly service.“

“Nice little neighborhood bar in downtown Benicia off first street. Open pretty late but still closes earlier than 2am. They have late night eats, TVs, and a happy hour menu. The bartenders were friendly and helped us with our drinks and their food menu didn’t look bad. Both indoor and outdoor space. Parking isn’t too hard as there is plenty of street parking around this area. Their starburst, gummy bear, and green tea shots during happy hour are $5 and pretty tasty and sweet.“

“Love this place and my pizza was the ultimate!!!“

“Honestly, best chicken in town and there’s a lot of options! Their ranch is really good also. Pretty sure this is the only place I’ll be getting a chicken sandwich from now on as long as they can stay consistent with their food and service.“
