28 Best American Restaurants in Santa Clara

“My partner and I loveeee coming to the place for some late night munchies. The food is fantastic plus their cane sugar soda feels like a better choice from regular sodas. Overall the vibes here are great. Glad that we have a cool eatery near by that’s open late 😎“

“This month was Thailand x Gish. I think it's the 4th time we came here. Our go-to nice place to eat.
Lamb larb was great. My wife enjoyed bitter melon for this first time. There was a fish dumpling that was complex and fresh and succulent. The pork cheek was amazing and I am always happy when they prepare cheek meat. The atmosphere is super homey and the flavors inspirational to me as a home cook and a delight as a diner.“

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

“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.“

“I had the bacon egg and cheese croissant and was a little disappointed that there was mayonnaise and avocado on the sandwich, there was not mention of either on the menu when looking at what the menu said the sandwich had. My girlfriend had the Belgian waffle and a side of two eggs, she was disappointed there was powdered sugar on it when she stated that she didn’t want anything on the waffle. Overall the food was good and we did eat the food. The staff here is very friendly.“

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

“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.“

“This restaurant was absolutely delicious! I ordered the fig and goat cheese burger, and it was out of this world. I wasn't expecting it to be that amazing, but it completely exceeded my expectations. The combination of flavors was incredible, and I'd definitely order it again. Highly recommend giving it a try!“

“Very attentive staff and delicious food“

“Fantastic restaurant. Outstanding service. Great ambiance. The staff are beautifully presented. The food itself is really good, but needs a little more balance between the protein and the vegetables and the textures and a little more creativity for me to give 5 stars.“

“I hosted a Bosnian watch party here, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Brianna was absolutely wonderful to work with from start to finish. She was responsive, organized, accommodating, and made the entire process seamless.

The service on the day of the event was outstanding, everything ran smoothly, and our guests had a fantastic time.

Thank you, Brianna, and the entire team, for helping make our watch party such a success. I highly recommend this venue for anyone looking to host a group event!“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“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'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.“

“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!“

“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 …“

“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.“

“Thanks again GAPCO! Got a couple pizzas delivered to my house after a productive day. BB Mclaughlin & a pepperoni. Over the top delicious. Totally sealed the deal with my family. Awesome pizza, super quick delivery. Totally impressed every time. I’m local, I know your crew rocks. Night crew on 7/20/19 deserves a shout out.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“The Hut has the best Tri tip sandwich I’ve ever had. The pulled pork and pulled chicken sandwich is to die for!! The French fries are always yummy😋you really can’t go wrong with any thing on the menu ! My son loves the baby back ribs. The Hut is a warm , friendly, fun , place do dine!! The service is always great!!“
