24 Best American Restaurants in San Leandro

“Good food, lively atmosphere.“

“What a great find! I asked Google for steak and the Manor Grill popped up first. The food was excellent. Angie was an awesome attentive server. I wish I had a cozy home cooking restaurant like this where I live. You will not be disappointed. Parking is a little slim so you may have to circle the block to find a place but it will be worth it.“

“The mushroom steak hoagie with onion is my favorite. The steak was seasoned and cooked well.“

“Absolutely love everything we have tried here! Friendly staff and always super clean! Always leave full, satisfied, and happy.“

“From the minute I walked through the door I was greeted by Tina Rhae with a big smile. There were a lot of great items to choose from and specials. I got a hibiscus iced tea and the linguisa sandwich. They were both delicious! They have plenty of indoor and outdoor tables so there was room to move around if you have a wheelchair. A perfect spot for large groups of people too.“

“We just had breakfast at the Cozy Kitchen coffee shop - in a little stripmall at the corner of Washington & Bradick in San Leandro. It's a tiny classic diner, serving basic breakfasts at the most reasonable prices around. Been around forever, run by the same little couple (ever since our friend was a boy & ate here with his family). Husband cooks. Wife runs tables. Well-worn furnishings from decades of diners make it feel like a step back in time. It is the CLEANEST restaurant I've EVER been in - evidence of pride/care/lifelong work ethic. There's nothing fancy on the menu, but if you're looking for bacon & eggs on a budget around Oakland, CA - this is the place. Period. Come support these folks!“

“Nice ambiance and food . Staff is very attentive.“

“My mom and I came to this place by the recommendation from the garbage guy that serves our neighborhood.. Then my husband was also told that this place is a jewel 💎
We were served by Emma, she was so nice to us. We acknowledged her that it was our first time there. Coffee was hot and did not have a burned taste, just perfect. I ordered bacon and eggs with a very picky request. Hash browns were delicious. My Mom ordered French toast and a side of bacon. She shared with me a slice of French toast and omg. It was fluffy, soft and not dry. Very nice vanilla flavor. The syrup was warmed and so now we’re hooked to this place. We had to put our names on the wait list as the sitting is limited because it’s a small place but it’s name says it all, the fifth wheel, a rare jewel near downtown San Leandro. Service and food are better than the Pelton cafe“

“Harry's Hofbrau is the best restaurant in San Leandro that I've been to bar none!“

“Menu selections are varied and excellent. The minestrone is a very good specialty. Portions are generous. Steaks are excellent and generous in portion size. Breakfast and egg dishes are always consistent. Service is cheerful. Salads are great especially with an Elio’s Greek style dressing..“

“Great place!! Great sports atmosphere!!!“

“I live in San Jose, but I drive all the way to this location because they are the best in the business. I know it's a franchise, but for some reason the chicken taste a lot better here.Every time I go over there, everyone greets me like they know me, even though I don't recognize anybody. Also, the fact that they serve pizza now makes it that much better.Sincerely,Chicken lover“

“I love this restaurant!! This place is probably my favorite restaurant I've ever been to. They have so many options and everything on the menu is delicious! Their vegan pies are amazing!! They have an extensive brunch menu with the flexibility of adding a pancake or french toast side dish to your order. I love sweet and savory for brunch but I can never finish those huge breakfasts so this place is perfect for me!! On top of that the cafe is so cute and the staff is so friendly. I loved it so much I went twice during my one week stay!“

“A small hole in the wall right behind the main Safeway in downtown, but, it’s so good! The burgers are generously portioned and there is enough variety for anyone who finds themselves craving a burger but wants it to have unique ingredients. They have enough outdoor seating for larger groups. They offer a half/half of fried and onion rings, which we recommend, too!“

“first time here - we loved it! excellent wine list“

“Cool hang out and great food“

“The prices are reasonable and the food was good!
I ordered the BBQ chicken and I was impressed by the flavor and the quality of the chicken. It wasn't dried out but was nice and moist. Exactly what I would want.
The macaroni salad was okay, It wasn't the best hawaiian macaroni salad I've had, but it wasn't worse either not a whole lot of flavor to it .
The service was really fast like within 2 minutes.
The atmosphere was typical small busness resturant. Nothing elegant, but functional and clean.

Yes, I would recommend it.“

“Greeted and seated instantly after arriving Georgina our waitress was awesome! I ordered the coin salad with wild Alaskan salmon and it was cooked perfectly. Didn’t smell or taste fish the salad looked extremely appetizing cofre was hot and taste wow amazing music wasn’t too loud and the place was quite clean bathroom was clean smell fresh like the ocean . Over all recommended eating here anytime of the day ! Five stars so far !!“

“I’m a vegetarian, so I can’t speak about the Q (the men in my house cried when the last wing was grabbed), but this banana pudding is so off the hook I want to cry!! So rich and creamy! I’ve eaten 1/2 of the very generous serving and I’m stuffed. I’m gunna power through it though, because I know if I save it, one of these boys will eat it!“

“Resturant was very clean service was great and good Food quality was excellent Food was hot and fast service Thanks“

“I liked Fosters Freeze but for years, after clicking like or follow repeatedly over that time, it keeps rejecting me. So good luck. Never had a complaint with the food or service. Just treated poorly online.“

“Ignacio, the waiter, is the best! He served our table (party of 3) with excellent customer service and we greatly appreciate it. We enjoyed the food and how Ignacio took care of us all. Thank you, Ignacio!“

“Food was good as usual! I don’t think the waitress want to wait on me as I had to ask for chips&salsa and to bring my water while I wait for my food. When she finally brought me the food , no silverware and napkins. I went to staging area and tore off some brown paper“

“Wow, from the second we stepped in, Emily greeted us with a smile, took us to a table and ensured that we had beverages right away. Even though this was a busy Sunday morning, we felt very welcome and attended to. The dip in the food rating is due to my Benedict with fully cooked yolks, but again, it’s a busy Sunday and for that to be the only concern, the team as a whole is on point. Jesus was very efficient and has great timing for check in’s, talk about a multi-tasker!
On our way out, I was unsure where to pay the bill, both the manager and Emily immediately offered help to get us out and on with our day.
After having a few in consistent experiences at another location, we are so excited to know that our new neighborhood IHOP has an incredible team and will be our new go-to

Thank you Emily and team!“
