24 Best American Restaurants in San Leandro

“Good food, lively atmosphere.“

“This place is a staple in the Washington Manor area. I'd guess that the service is what people come for. They're always super nice and they're never so crowded that you get overlooked or forgotten. It's an old family/meeting spot for us around here so I fully support them.“

“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.“

“Zenti Bistro is a hidden gem in San Leandro and it deserves to be unhidden! Tina, the co owner has been God sent to me. I was looking for a venue for my post wedding party, with ample parking and close to my friends. She put my vision into life! This place is very intimate, definitely made for 50 guests.
Tina has been very responsive, kind and passionate about what she does. I love how she gives back to the community and making us feel like home. I definitely would book again for a future event. I cant thank you enough Tina for making this experience stress free and enjoyable! Thank you to Ernie and staff for the delicious food! Thank you to Dom for helping prepare the space for my guests. Please go check out Zenti Bistro!“

“I absolutely love Fifth Wheel and have been going almost every Saturday for the past few years with my partner. It started when he moved to the area and we were looking for a new breakfast spot. The other spots just didn't hit the mark, but Fifth Wheel has been consistent. Everyone on staff is so nice and the restaurant is cozy. It's not too big inside, so you may be waiting, but it never takes too long during the peak times on Saturdays. Ordering to go is also a nice and quick option if you don't want to wait.“

“This place is as classic as it gets, they focus on the basics but have perfected it. Every time I've gone, the service is super friendly and attentive, and the food is exactly what you're craving. Prices are also super reasonable for the portion sizes. This is one of my favorite places and plan on going back regularly.“

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

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

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

“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..“

“Rocky's has been a great place to enjoy for quite a long time. I have enjoyed many different burgers here but I do love the western style with onion rings and bacon and cheese and of course barbecue sauce. I have been here after trips to the Oakland zoo. I have been here with family members that decided to meet here for a great burger and some fries. I've also been here with just a minimal amount of money in my pocket to enjoy a burger and some comfort close to my home neighborhood off of Davis Street. I have to say this place is a hidden gem and if you know it's worth it to go and have a nice burger the way you like it and enjoy your time in San Leandro. It is close to St. Leander's if you are headed there, but it's also really close to most of downtown San Leandro within walking distance which is really enjoyable if you're looking to go up and down East 14th and enjoy all the different businesses of San Leandro has to offer. I really enjoy this place for the flavor and the burgers the way that they're dressed and the size that you can have. It is definitely worth a try.“

“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!“

“Cool hang out and great food“

“I’ve just recently discovered ibringdasmoke and I’m glad I did! My first order with them was the smoked brisket…it was so good! I just recently ordered a slab of ribs from them and my friend and I loved it! We got a little sample of the Mexican street corn which was very nice of them. I thought it was ok, but my friend enjoyed it. Their spices and the tenderness of their meats are great as well as their bbq sauce. The meat isn’t overly salty which is great. I have recommended this place to my friends and I will definitely be back!“

“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.“

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

“I use to love driving here for some good chicken. Yea, do they have it at a ton of gas stations? Yes,but the real store waa the best. Now it's just meeh. Atoposhere kinda sad. The worker cooked my food and was on the phone the whole time, my food took 30 mins and someone who walked in to order after me was served before me. Oh and check soda can dates 2 sodas expired in March!Biscuits were good though.“

“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 !!“

“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!“

“Jose M (store #3774) was our server. He was amazing. Super attentive. Kind. Sociable. And never in a hovering way. He made our dining experience worthwhile. And sadly, made us feel better than we normally feel at an IHOP! He the kind of server you hope to have. Food was good too.“

“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“
