50 Best American Restaurants near Port Costa

“One of my San Francisco Bay Area Secrets..., that is no longer a secret.

Great Bar and Restaurant; old school making drinks (yes, heavy on the alcohol), a wide selection of worldly beers on the menu, a few beers on tap, and a good selection of amount of food that comes out of that kitchen of theirs.

I have been going to the Warehouse since I was a child, when my parents would take me there for dinner way back in the 1980s. Plus, there is a 11-foot tall polar bear, with another black bear for photography. Next door (random hours) is a clothing, antique store and on Sunday's (spring and summer months) is a live band.

If not live music, there is a jukebox with a very wide selection of music to choose from (with cash or on-line), only one (1) pool table, but because there is so much history in that place, there is no need for any activities like pool.

Overall, one of the best drinking holes in the Bay Area. We Love the Warehouse and shall never go to long without a visit.“

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

“YUMMMO - Savoring every bite - you will LOVE the catfish and hush puppies!!“

“Oh man I love sandwiches. I used to travel to find good sandwiches. Lucias craft sandwich is amongst the best sandwiches I have had the pleasure of eating, globally. Seriously. And they are BIG. I usually buy a big one and eat it for lunch and dinner. So the sandwichology here is top notch. True to their Italian roots the come heavy with an herb olive oil vinaigrette, reminds me of Lorenzos in Belmont. The ingredients are fresh and flavor full. I have tried a few sandwiches here now but the Apple wood Smoked is something to write home to ma about. The apricot with the Italian herbs and the applwood ham blend with the focaccia and fresh veggies to give you a sweet, tangy and smokey flurry in your mouth. Will eat again.“

“Small little cocina tucked around the back of a gas station in a small neighborhood. Had a nice outdoor seating area. The hostess was incredibly kind and friendly. Ordered the tuna melt and garlic fries, and wow, was it amazing. There was a steady stream of take out and dine in customers, so we could tell it was a popular local spot. We wish we lived locally and we'd eat here more. The menu has many delicious options for tacos &, burritos. Oh, the michelado was 👌🏽 We had gone for a big hike in the area and the portions were perfect.“

“We were greeted warmly and offered any table we desired. Had a late lunch of a tasty crab sandwich and a crisp, fresh Caesar salad. We will definitely be back to try more items on their menu. Such a warm cozy place to visit! Thank you Chef!“

“Yeah, it’s an awesome little Dinner with the great menu service was great and had some large portions had to take some food to home with me and that’s pretty rare for me I had classic club sandwich. It was very good and my wife had the veggie omelette which she finished in no time so must’ve been very good..“

“Today we visited El Jardín de los Sueños Cafe ( Garden of Dreams Cafe) It was crowded but the service was spot on. The ladies serving worked fast and the hot chocolate we order was yummy. The neat thing about this Cafe is that they have a children's play space . They have children's books a doll house and toys. Food wise they have regular Cafe drinks but their hot chocolate has delicious cinnamon. They have omelettes, Bagels ,Sandwiches . protein smoothies and fresh juices. They also carry a variety of candy from Mexico and el salvador. There is also an outdoor seating area. Today being Saturday it was crowded but there was plenty of standing space. I loved the livelyness of the Cafe and overall it was a very interesting place to visit. I think this is a great place for families or for friends to meet.“

“Definitely a chefs kiss for the food, my partner, and I both had breakfast, which was perfect! Juan’s Service was excellent very attentive, but not intrusive.
Don’t let the little strip mall location for you, the interior is extremely clean, tidy and ready for service“

“Had an absolutely delicious Sweet & Savory burger (blue cheese, fig jam, bacon, arugula patty, bun), garlic fries, and fried zucchini. Would highly recommend, especially after a day of shopping and sightseeing in historic downtown Benicia. Perfect way to end the day!

Only downside was not enough napkins available for us to grab and tables were a tad sticky.“

“I am slowly working my way through the whole menu the sea bass was excellent today so was the salmon my friend enjoyed I've had the braised beef and we both had the chicken tenders we will continue to enjoy what is offer especially those new items that just came in. chef Raul and the crew know what they're doing very lovely outing every time“

“First time customers. Jose was our server and he was excellent. Went above and beyond to explain the menu. Very kind. Suggest Crumbs have a senior menu.“

“I started going to Rrags in 2002 when my daughter started working there as a barrista. she received excellent training, earned enough to buy her laptop and most of her first car. the owners, and staff are very pleasant and welcome regulars and new customers with a smile.“

“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.“

“Not the cheapest burger compared to fast food burgers, but they are supposedly charbroiled here and the burgers are quite large. The fries are more restuarant quality than fast food quality here, and they are friendly here.

I used to go to a Best Burger in San Leandro like 30 years ago. That one is no longer there. The menu and burgers here seem the same, so it brings back memories.“

“I must say I would have never thought a restaurant like this could exist in Vallejo but yet they are going over 12 years strong. Kudos to you and kudos for making Vallejo a destination for fine cuisine“

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

“best sushi and cheap!!! will come again!!!“

“What an adorable little place and the food was delicious. I felt bad these poor girls were terribly understaffed. A whole full restaurant and two waitresses.... I understand people call out, but you know, that's more work than anybody should have put on them. I would encourage better schedule management or have management come in and back them up.... But in spite of how busy they were, they never faltered, they were polite. They got our order, right, absolutely stunning service.“

“I always have fun here! Comedy night was a blast! Thank you!!! Please have more waitresses next time for the show! 😁“

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

“Had a wonderful meal there. The chef is a lovely guy offering creative variety in his dishes. Fish or meat - both were delicious!“

“I love Inn Kensington. I've gone there for decades and their breakfasts and brunches have never disappointed me. Their omelettes are exquisite, their homemade bread is delicious, and the service is excellent.
For lunch, I love their corn-cilantro, pancake.
Not only do they have incredibly fast service, But they're also very flexible about your order. For example, I always get black beans instead of potatoes on the side because their black beans are exquisite.
My highest recommendations for their breakfasts and brunches“

“Located at The Veranda in Concord, the restaurant has a bright, clean, and upscale setting.

We ordered the Firecracker Shrimp, Maui Salmon, and Lobster Garlic Noodles. All three dishes were nicely presented and tasted good. We especially enjoyed the Lobster Garlic Noodles, which were pretty flavorful.

Overall, a nice dining experience. We’ll definitely come back to try some of the other interesting items on the menu!“

“An array of selections at a very reasonable price and very generous portions. I ordered the Garden Omelet; It was delicious. My daughter ordered the same. However, she chose scrambled eggs. Hashbrown and bread were included. There was also strawberry and grape jam at the table. Coffee was also superb. See photos.“

“In Concord for this years.. How High Can You Shoot Archery finals between One Eyed Jack Yodder the local boy, and Wonderful Wally Whiteshoes Johnson, Oaktown's favorite. This year's event is being held at the junior college track field where the finalists will be shooting their arrows straight up into the air and then running as fast as they can to a presumably safe place! After last year's fiasco crowds will be limited to the bleachers, so they recommend coming early. It was quite the sight and pretty Spectacular to watch those first responders in action! But...not as spectacular as the sandwiches I had from the North Park Deli...The hit the Bullseye 🎯
5 ☆☆☆☆☆'s for sure!“

“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.“

“I love going to Five Star Chicken in Vallejo, I've actually recommended it to a lot of people. I love the food, it fills me up at a reasonable price point. Plus the customer service is excellent, way above average! I highly recommend you try this place out, you won't regret it.“

“From the moment we walked in, the service was outstanding. Our waitress was welcoming, attentive, and made us feel like valued guests. It's clear they genuinely care about providing a great dining experience.

The food was absolutely delicious! The mango margaritas are hands down my favorite, they're perfectly balanced, refreshing, and the perfect complement to the meal. The chile rellenos plate was incredible, with flavorful peppers, delicious filling, and just the right amount of sauce. Every bite tasted fresh and homemade. Reminds me of my mom's cooking. I will definitely be coming back for the flavors and feeling of home.“

“I always have fun here! Comedy night was a blast! Thank you!!! Please have more waitresses next time for the show! 😁“

“It's been my second time coming here tonight and the server on my first dine was also our server tonight: (Alexia) she's did a great job and always putting her smile on whenever she's around. And tonight we enjoyed our dinner. :)“

“Quiet spot, great food made to order. 5$ beers. The hazelnut peach chutney pork chop was delish. The corn fritters were light and sweet and the dipping sauce had perfect mouth heat. Friendly service. Overall a great spot that I hope does well.“
