17 Best American Restaurants in San Rafael

“Great food and service. Great presentation“

“Such fresh good food. I made my own scramble it was beyond delicious!!!“

“We had our lunch in red rooster brick oven and it was the best atmosphere that’s family friendly, the food was delicious and the owners were very nice. We will be visiting again and we highly recommend this restaurant.“

“My husband and I came here for breakfast before our hike in Muir Woods. Husband got the huevos rancheros with house potatoes which was really good! I got the Mexican scramble with hash browns and I think this was literally the best omelette I’ve ever had. I was so full for hours afterwards (and yes, even after the hike I barely had any room for anything else). Would highly recommend!

Also, the man and lady behind the counter were also very nice!“

“A fortunate discovery situated directly adjacent to the AC San Rafael Downtown hotel — an excellent option for breakfast before a full day of activities.
| Visited with colleagues, with each person ordering independently — a useful indicator of overall kitchen consistency
| The chef's special omelette with corned beef hash was the standout dish — exceptionally well-executed, rich in flavour and generously portioned
| The traditional Irish-style breakfast was prepared to a high standard — precisely the kind of substantial, satisfying meal one would want before a productive day
| Service was attentive and genuinely welcoming throughout
| The location is particularly convenient for guests staying in the immediate area
For those seeking a quality breakfast in San Rafael, Lundy's Home Cooking comes highly recommended. A establishment that delivers on both food and hospitality.“

“The pizza, the calamari, the mozzarella sticks, the margaritas, what an exceptional find. The service was top notch and the pizza so good i ate the crusts, it’s that type, i never eat the crusts. We left feeling well taken care of. Sean, the manager, was making us feel welcome in every possible way. I’ve heard the clam chowder and salads are amazing as well, we will be back!! Prime rib?! French dip!?! Yes please!!!!“

“Contrary to what people say about the food, it’s good and fresh. From my experience, people just don’t know how to look and read the menu. Glad this is a smaller shop so they have more autonomy to deal with people’s lack of reading skills. Some people are just never please. Perfect place to get food with a group of 4 too.“

“Be careful what you order, the croissants are immense. We ordered breakfast including one signature croissant and couldn't eat half of what we got. Everything was delicious, the coffee was hot and strong, the staff were attentive and courteous. We were on vacation, however, rather than try someplace new we came back here a second time - we don't often do that!“

“Jose Luis took care of us! I don't know why this place doesn't have better reviews, we came into town on a motorcycle trip and didn't want to ride to dinner. He was prompt with our drinks and dinner and the food was great for a hotel restaurant. Definitely would do it again!“

“Definitely a good place for you“

“There are no words to describe such a location. I would say it was peak, legendary even- but those feeble words would not do it justice. To be fair I probably have a bias from 3 hours of jetlag and a lack of anything to eat it prior, but- its not the food. Its the man. Aziz, oh Aziz. If there was an embodiment of pure soul this man would fill this roll. From his kindness to his service, he has to be the nicest bartender I've ever encountered. The description I've given does little to even scratch the ray of sunshine that is his personality. I cant for the life of me see the drag of darkness in his presence... and food.“

“Went here after a long day on Mount Tamalpais…it was undoubtedly the best part of the trip. We came at around 8:30pm yesterday and almost nobody was there—It was cozy and relaxing. The server (whose name I unfortunately didn’t catch) was amazing; he was funny, sweet, and attentive. I ordered a chocolate malt and it was absolutely delicious!! To eat, I got the chili bowl and was not disappointed. I scarfed that, along with the cornbread muffin, down quick lol. I also stole a bite of my mom’s chicken fried steak and YUM. Food came out super fast, and the prices were reasonable! Overall, great place. :)“

“Wednesday Taco night the 💣.“

“We had the most delicious pastas and wine! The service was fantastic as well. We highly recommend TKT for your next night out!! Even our toddler was impressed!“

“I am from Kansas City Missouri. We like to eat at places we dont have at home. Habit burger was the second place we chose and we should have chosen habit burger first. The food was amazing. The fries were perfectly salted. The employees were really helpful since we are from out of state.“

“Glad to have found this restaurant. Since moving to San Rafael, I’ve been missing and looking for authentic Mexican food. The other Mexican restaurants I’ve tried in San Rafael don’t compare to this restaurant. Fast and friendly service. Clean interior with cheerful decoration and atmosphere. Finally, the food is well seasoned and flavorful. Definitely hits the spot!“

“Great customer service! My favorite server is Jose at the San Rafael store !! However AC was broken so it was pretty warm inside being it was a super hot day !“
