27 Best American Restaurants in Santa Clara

“The service attitude here is great. I like the drinks very much. It feels very magical, like a magic potion🥰“

“Super interesting menu for the adventurous. The plating was beautiful, very picture-worthy.

I will say, the price was a little steep for the type of meat and ingredients and the menu was pretty well-thought out but random. Not so cohesive of a menu it felt. But I really appreciated the creativity and the fact that this restaurant is serving foods like smoked
chicken gizzards for the more refined palate; there were provoking plates that deserve applaud.

The wine pairing was worth adding. 3/4 pairings were outstanding.

The ambiance was also homey but elevated, if I could turn my living space into this room I would. I think this was my favorite part of the restaurant. It was definitely a haven!

The service was neutral and rushed, but zero complaints whatsoever. Their policy of 48h cancellation is (as a customer) unreasonable, but they typically waive it if you are a first-time customer.“

“My family and I usually order it online and then go to pick up the order. Although we have never eaten inside the restaurant, we Have never had a problem when picking up our food. It has always been ready for us. The food is excellent! We recently just started getting their shakes, which are to die for.“

“I love this restaurant, but it is NOT a sports bar. It's a restaurant (with good food!) with a square 'floating' bar in the front of the restaurant that has a few TVs that usually have sports on. If you want the divey, sports-bar experience, this ain't it.“

“Great food and good service, I got a burger and my wife got the ultimate grilled cheese and both were fantastic, the atmosphere is nothing great, but the food was the focus anyway, their drink selection looks amazing though I didn't try any of them. But would definitely come back“

“I gave the atmosphere three stars only because there's no soft upholstered features in the room so sound bounces off everywhere and gets amplified. if loud talker are sitting anywhere near you you won't be able to hear your dinner companions.“

“Been coming here since grad school in the early 2000s. Still good food after all these years. The nice owners work so hard to make delicious food. Too bad they no longer serve beer. Owner says SCU students got too rowdy with alcohol and causing trouble, so it’s not worth it to serve alcohol anymore. Thank the kids for ruining it for everyone.“

“Nice friendly staff, clean restaurant we go there every Monday or Tuesday“

“Came here for snacks and drinks with my Mother. The entire staff from both wait staff and management were top-tier. Everyone was so kind. The vibe was immaculate. Cannot wait to experience when the weather is warmer and the taco truck and barbecue pit are open.“

“Very attentive staff and delicious food“

“I was traveling down in the San Jose area and was looking for a nice steak. I had the 10 ouch filet medium rare and it was cooked perfect. I sat in the bar as I was by myself. There was a good selection of beer, wine and cocktails. Service was nice as well. Hit the spot.“

“Staff were very friendly! Patrick made the best margarita I ever had. The space indoors and outdoors were great. It was beautiful. Even other customers were nice.“

“I've been dining here for several years, their fish is always fresh. But yesterday the food was greasy, smelly, and mostly inedible. Fries were old and soggy. Tacos were barely warm and soggy as well. Fish was not fresh, there were just greasy pieces. Very disappointing. Not sure if I will be coming back.“

“Good place to handout for people living nearby bay area“

“I don't normally make reviews about shopping centers, but this one is very nice and aesthetic one to go to. To be honest, I've never been in a shopping center that looks as ambient compared to average ones I go to.

Yes it's not really a big place, but it's built nice and clean at the same time. Probably most people who work around here come here for lunch. It would have been better if there are bigger building while using the same materials as well as a bigger shopping center, but this is fine.“

“Great staff, clean and comfortable rooms, and quiet with nice balconies“

“This is the best dining option at California's Great America! With a wide variety of menu choices—from quinoa and beef burgers to chicken tenders and several types of pizza—plus sides like mac & cheese, seasonal vegetables, and more, it's the best value in the park. The condiment bar is well-stocked, and the staff is always friendly and efficient. The restaurant is well-organized, with consistently clean tables, though they can get packed during lunch and dinner rushes, so you might have to wait for a table. They sometimes run out of artisan sandwiches and desserts, and the quinoa burger takes a few extra minutes to cook but is worth the wait. Highly recommended!“

“First time there and the food was absolutely amazing - can not recommend the brisket“

“First off, the staff is incredibly attentive. I was greeted by three different people within 5 minutes of sitting down! They made sure I had a drink ASAP and were kind enough to come over to where I was sitting and take my order, even though I'm pretty sure you go up to the counter to place orders.
The food is incredible, yesterday I had the burrito trio and today the breakfast burrito. Absolutely phenomenal!
Will be my go-to lunch spot going forward!“

“I decided to drop by and see what the place was about because there was a “dating coach” on YouTube that felt like she was above The Cheesecake Factory … After visiting here, I think that particular dating coach is a lunatic … I think this place is wonderful for casual meetings as well as serious dinner dates …“

“Solid breakfast, great service on a Sunday morning, and generous mimosas. Yeah, the OJ is just for color 😄“

“Pretty average hotel. Giving it 4 stars given it included breakfast and happy hour. The bartenders and omlette maker were excellent and friendly. Other breakfast staff seemed less than thrilled to be there but overall went about their tasks and kept out of guests way. The rooms could definitely use some updating and the layout was quite awkward being right next to the stairwell. The room felt cramped and the bathroom small to maneuver in. Not sure if all rooms were that way but I'd suggest a different room. The hotel was reasonably close to some restaurants and easy enough to get around the area. Overall not a bad stay.“

“The food was delicious 😋 and the service was excellent, I recommend this place for have a nice lunch or dinner“

“Its a sports bar with wings! We were there Saturday night and a UFC fight was on the screens. Able to have conversation and enjoy our wings. Smoke eaters makes great wings. We had quite a variety between the 5 of us. There was a plate of lemon pepper tenders, Atomic wings, Buffalo wings, a chicken tenders wrap, a plate of lemon pepper wings and parmesan wings and a couple of baskets of fries. As advertised good wings and great food. plenty of screens so you can sit on any side of a table and see the fight. Bet its great here on a college or NFL football day.“

“food was fresh and delicious minus missing hash browns“

“Go here for lunch on Tuesdays & Thursday. They work hard in this program and I really think it shows. Food is usually very good. Portions are great value.“

“It's been decades since I have been to a Sizzler. I ordered a ribeye medium, and it was delicious. Salad bar/taco bar items we're just, meh. I was really surprised at how good the ribeye was. The staff were also very friendly and a tentative.“
