15 Best American Restaurants in Santa Clara

“The best food I had in a long time prices reasonable comfort food at its best. I had the steak and cheese and was so full of flavor very filling. The garlic Parmesan fries were excellent very fresh. The staff was very friendly and made the experience so nice. The location was in a great place. If you want Mac and cheese it's very cheesy and full of flavor. A definite return trip is in store“

“The Stand in Santa Clara is an absolute go-to for me. Located conveniently nearby, it has become a regular favorite thanks to its unbeatable combination of consistency, quality, and value.

No matter when you order, the food is always fresh, perfectly prepared, and delicious every single time—you simply never have to worry about an off meal. Their menu offers fantastic variety, and everything tastes high-end without breaking the bank, making it one of the most affordable and satisfying spots around.

If you are looking for top-tier food quality, reliable service, and great pricing right in the neighborhood, The Stand is hard to beat. Highly recommended!“

“No pictures of the meal because it was just THAT GOOD. Tables back up to the parking lot so it's a little crowded but the coffee and the food are so incredible that I don't care. Absolutely fantastic and I feel like I haven't had breakfast as good as that in a while. Had the morning burger, Southside style croissant, and a side of tater tots. My partner and I split each and it was the perfect amount, everything was cooked perfectly and the fries and tots were crispy. I'll be dreaming of this food for weeks to come and I am so sad that I am not from the area and can't eat here every weekend.“

“Great atmosphere with great drinks. Try a new brew or spirit here it won’t disappoint.“

“Very attentive staff and delicious food“

“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“

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

“Service friendly and professional.
Food quality good, portions are generous.
We were seated next to the kitchen ..far too much waiter traffic and noise. I have experienced far better seating during my previous Birk's meals.“

“A great place to relax and enjoy great food and drinks. Menu selection is awesome. Prices are good. I love the outside setup and the staff and service standards are top notch. My go to spot when I'm in town. Go say Hi to Henry. You won't regret it.“

“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“

“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.“
