“We visited Townes during Sonoma County restaurant week and they did not disappoint! Their Mussels were absolutely to die for! There wasn't just a simple broth in the bottom of the dish, it was more like a tasty chowder with fine veggies and seasonings that you wanted to soak up every drop of! Their desserts were also yummy. The setting is pretty simple having previously been 3rd Street Ale Works but the food and service was stellar!”
“During a business trip to Rohnert Park, we were fortunate enough to happen upon this gem! A menu with the right amount of variety. The food was absolutely delicious. The Walter Hansel Cuvee Alyce Chardonnay was breathtaking. I have never had better. The service was incredible. They had a small staff working to serve, but as soon as we finished a course, they were removing the dishes and delivering the next course, which was perfectly prepared. The restaurant is intimate, warm and inviting. It was very clear the entire staff enjoyed what they were doing and were proud of their work, as they should be! We look forward to the next opportunity to return, for sure. The only disappointing thing is that we live too far away to come here often.”
“The food is amazing and the customer service is top notch! I enjoyed the carne asada French fries which were heaping with cheese and meat. Everything tastes fresh and the meat didn't taste like mock steak that other places try passing off as real. I believe this may have just become my new favorite Mexican restaurant in all of Sonoma county. Though this was 11 miles from my house in Rohnert Park, I will easily make it my new go to for amazing Mexican food. The avocado salsa is spicy but super good.... I give this place 10 stars, and I like to think of myself as a Mexican food critic with growing up in San Diego where all the Mexican food is great! I am so stuffed after only less then 3/4 of my meal, which I should have stopped eating while I was ahead, but I managed to savor every last bite. The breakfast burritos look amazing so that is what I'm chasing after next. You're welcome...”
“Very cool outdoor experience. I love that you pick dishes from multiple food trucks. It was all fantastic! Clean, friendly and fab food! Empanadas, fish tacos, ceviche”
“Sat 11/11 was my first time dining here. Epic dinner and dessert, highly recommend!!. My daughter and her boyfriend have been dining here for a while, they love this place so much they're regulars..now add me to that list!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“The food was delicious! We ordered three types of noodles, fried rice, and snacks, and none of them disappointed. The owner was very hospitable, and the service was super fast. Highly recommended!”
“My husband and I stopped by for a tasting and were hosted by Scott. I can't say enough good things about the wine. We are from Ontario, Canada and our LCBO carries Kendall Jackson wines which we love we wanted to pay them a visit. Scott was an amazing host, we learnt so much from him - he was very informative and incredibly kind. Thank you so much for a wonderful afternoon!”
“The minute we stepped into this restaurant, we were greeted by a nice young lady (who my four-year-old child greeted with a nice compliment of her dress). She placed us near the open kitchen and after we ordered, we were surprised with a plate of little munchies including grapes, celery, carrots, cheese, chips, and peanut butter (for free). My daughter devoured this. We ordered a cheese pizza for her and a sausage and caramelized onion pizza and three grilled shrimp tacos. We also shared truffle fries- which we were planning to take home but never quite made it since we ate it all. The food was great- the smokiness of the sauce in the tacos paired with the grilled shrimp and the freshness of the slaw in the tacos made it perfectly balanced. The ambiance felt lively with the open kitchen. I loved watching them place the pizzas in the beehive oven and the pizzas came out perfect. The staff was very attentive and filled our drinks when it was running low. I was very impressed with this place and will be returning with my family again.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“Today a few friends and I celebrated my birthday, by getting dinner and drinks at Chevys. We sat at a table by the bar. All the staff were absolutely amazing, and such a good time. Special thanks to Ricardo for being awesome! I wish I could remember the other waiters name because he was so sweet and did an amazing job also.”

“Casual dinning done right.A gem of a neighbourhood eatery, to be jealous of.From start to check, was flawless.Friendly, attentive staff, proud to show off their wines and a food.Everything we ate was on point, and everything we drank equally as good.Good portions and easy to share courses was a vibe.”
“Absolutely love this coffee shop! The whole vibe, the food and drinks, the customer service… all above 5 stars. Shout out to Bethany and Zane for always being super sweet! I always look forward to stoping by. ❤️”

“The food here is authentic Italian and, in my Italian opinion, the best in Santa Rosa. The service and ambiance are great given what they have to work with. It's a nice reasonably priced dinner date establishment. Be sure to make reservations for best seating.”
“This place has the best fish n' chips and calamari! Their tartar sauce is mouth watering!! Everything else on their menu sounds so good too, but I always go with the same thing because it's too good to not order. Leave room for dessert and try their lemon cloud; it iS HEAVENLY!”
“Best raviolis in Santa Rosa. I like the regular size (small) meat ravioli. Great hot and cold sandwiches. Skip the potato salad--good flavor but hard to find the potatoes. Good service. Definitely recommend.”
“Last of the season strawberry ice cream made with custard. Sooo creamy and flavorful. Next time will try the choco orange flavor. Also had a perfect affogado with noisette ice cream. How did i not know about this gem of a bakery in santa rosa.”
“Lasagna was super soft and tasty. Plenty of sauce to mop up with the buttered bread.Spaghetti Carbonara I was told is very good. The Fettuccine Alfredo is a kid favorite. Brother had the bouillabaisse, which he thought tasted great, but wasn't very filling. The shrimp, clams, scallops, salmon, and calamari were very delicious, but he wanted more of each. He said he got 2 shrimp, 3 clams and a little bit of everything else. Soaked up the soup with bread, but was still not filling.Sister had the chicken Marsala and Mom had the chicken piccata. I thought the chicken was a little dry, but the roasted potatoes and brussel sprouts were good. Mom said the chicken was half dry and half good.The violinist was very good. Played a couple of covers we recognized. I recognized Zombie by the Cranberries, but I don't know a lot of song names. Very good. Violinist walked around and gave everyone in the restaurant a front row seat to the music.Waitstaff is amazing and checked in on us multiple times. Refilled water without prompting which was nice. Refilled bread multiple times which was great. The olive oil and black vinegar went very well with the bread. I thought it was garlic bread until I saw the garlic bread on the menu. Very surprised. The table bread is amazing and surprised it's free. I would come just to have a drink and eat bread ??Bathroom is clean, but the soap dispenser is a bit hard to press for a kid. Adults should have no problems.After 6pm, the nearby parking is free.Street parking is also free after 6pm Mon to Sat.Parking: After 6pm it's free.”

“In my humble opinion the best Indian food in Santa Rosa. The guys working the restaurant are all very friendly and helpful. It’s a simple restaurant that’s very much hidden away. I’ve had a variety of curries and found them to be very good. I haven’t tried any tandoori dishes. Definitely will be back again to dine in. Prices are very reasonable.”
“What a wonderful experience to be here at Café Frida! We are listening to incredible jazz while viewing beautiful art and having a delicious breakfast. This is a great addition to the arts in Santa Rosa”
“We ate at CA Bianca twice during our stay in Santa Rosa. The food was exquisite, homemade Italian, and the dessert was so delicious, the best crème brûlée I’ve had in my life & the service was phenomenal, with the ambience so romantic on the porch. We highly recommend this restaurant.”
“Had dinner there with family and friends. Second time. Both times were fabulous. Jose', the owner was a treat to interact with. We will be back many times. Everything we ordered was delicious.”
“The iconic Russian River Brewing downtown location. Much more soul and history then the new location. There are lines that you will have to wait sometimes but I found now that they opened the Winsor location the wait isn't as long as it use to be.The bar is where you want to be at just to stare at the incredible number of taps on the wall. Get the "Full Taster" and be prepared to take a lot of pictures of it and immediately ordering an Lyft/Uber (don't drink and drive!!!). They have a small gift shop that will allow you to grab your fan-boy swag and some fresh beers for the road. Must stop for any craft beer fan.”
“First time there - Valentine’s Day afternoon on the way home from a medical appointment. It was raining. My husband ordered take out and came back to wait in the car. He said he was really impressed by the young lady who took his order. He said she was pleasant, said please and thank you when she asked him questions and received payment, and she offered to bring the food out to the car (not necessary). The burgers were delicious. We’ll be going back soon.”
“Had the best dinner experience here. The waiter was very attentive and polite. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and hot. My only complaint is that it took so long for me to try it out. Definitely looking forward to going back.”
“A menu focused on small plates, all of which were creative and well-executed. Service was friendly but seemed harried on this night. Wine program, as you would expect, with so many of the wines available in half bottles, is exceptional. Only downside is that many of the tables are lousy, either next to people running into the kitchen, putting in orders or right in front of doors.- Mushroom salad - sounds simple but very flavorful, with shaved fennel. Get- Tuna tartare - one of the best that we have had, with perfect balance and size and cut to tuna. Get- Chicken thighs - tzatziki was to die for. Get”
“The food was delicious, very fresh, looked beautiful. The robot is a neat tool for delivering sushi. That's pretty cool. There was one server literally sprinting upstairs and downstairs to try to help everybody. On one hand, we didn't get the correct amount of silverware for the people at our table and didn't see our server for 15 minutes at a time. On the other hand, the poor lady was trying to run the whole ship herself. So based off of one person serving an entire two-level restaurant, it would be a seven Stars out of five. As far as my actual experience receiving service not so great. If I were to do this again I would just get my food to go. Also, I have no idea who picked the music or the volume for the music but both were a bad choice. It was the strangest loudest music. We had to yell to hear each other over the table. Also heads up the miso comes in like a double wall stainless steel bowl maybe so it feels safe to eat touching from the outside but it's way hotter on the inside.”
“Love this place! My boyfriend and I first tried Vine on DoorDash and immediately knew it would be added to our regular take out rotation.Then my dad came into town for work, finished his work early so he looked for a place to go eat while I was working, saw a lamb burger on the menu and knew he would he going there! In addition to the great food, the owner and server were both extremely friendly and welcoming.We love Vine Burgers and recommend it to all our friends and visitors in the area!”
“I seriously could eat here everyday. We have tried many dishes and they are all amazing. The staff is so welcoming and friendly even when we walk in close to them closing. They treat you like family and are very attentive.”
“Tom deserves employee of the month, as he provided one of the best customer experiences I’ve had in the fast food industry. Please someone give this man a raise!”
“Obsessed. Jeffrey's is our favorite neighborhood breakfast spot. We like to go an hour or 1.5 hours before closing as the line has died down by this point. My husband is a chicken fried steak connoisseur and he says this is the best one. I'm a big fan of the cobb salad with a side of fries for lunch and the bacon & Brussels sprouts hash for breakfast. The staff are friendly, personable and accommodating. Ambiance is family friendly. Outdoor seating available and dog friendly patio.”
“It is a great place for two or four people. Employes have a good attitude ? to serve the customer. You can eat good food while you can listen to Mexican music ?.”

“As a Human Resource Regional Manager I wish more businesses were like this. Outstanding staff and Outstanding food and drinks. I’m a math major so I rate my experience at Stark’s Steak & Seafood, a 3.14 out of 3.14. I look forward to going to Stark’s again. I wish everywhere was like Stark’s. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Stark’s sets the example for others in the field. Ladies and gentlemen take notes. This is how you conduct a successful business. - Pierce”
“It would be cool if the boats were being utilized for food. The top part (a conveyor belt) was functional and some of our food came to the table on jt. Overall the food was okay in an area without many Japanese cuisine offerings. If I was around I'd come back, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come. Nice staff, OK service (we came during a busy time). Restaurant was clean.”
“We were fortunate to treat our daughter to dinner on her birthday. Le Gare's was perfect, fancy without being fussy. The food was wonderful and the service was perfect. Highly recommended.”
“Had a great table in a great setting, great service with Paul, and great food. Lucky us! I have one tip, if you are on a low salt diet this is gonna be hard to pick out something. This is not a criticism. I did find it at the upper end of my personal tolerance, but please understand the food was delicious. Not only delicious but refreshingly creative. We eat by splitting courses. Started with the pimento cheese bread (brioche), this is not a stand-alone ap but a gooey topping on bread that is light, airy, and rich. It went well with their well above average Negroni. Creativity kicked in with the tacos, probably all of them are good. Our pick was pastrami tacos. Very fun. I've heard the duck choice is good. Next were the lamb meatballs. Some people complain about the gaminess of lamb, but I complain when it isn't gamey-lamby enough. If you like mild lamb, their choice of meat is great. My personal preferences aside, it was a very good dish. Finished with a very nice and just-right panna cotta. This place is definitely going into our rotation (The Santa Rosa, CA rotation: B&B, Jackson's, Grossmans, Ca Bianca, Cascabel, Yeti)”
“A+ service and food. Beef Cheek, Salmon, Scallops, Onion Soup and Creme Brule (huge) were extremely well prepared. Beef fell apart with a fork, wonderful flavor. Potatoes under with the gravy, perfect fit. Scallop dish very rich. Cheesy, flavorful and cooked perfectly. Sauce was stupid good. Probably was the highest A+. Onion soup was exactly what it should have been....Classic French Onion Soup. Salmon done very French style. Sauce was over the top good. Creme Brule was huge, biggest I have ever been served (over 100 times). More importantly, excellent flavor and texture (both custard and hard flamed top). Service was attentive, timely and not overbearing. Really awesome experience!!! Will be back very soon!!”
“The food and service were both great. The Pate' Charcuterie was plenty for 3 of us to share (had leftovers to bring home). We ordered the Beef Bourguignon & Grilled Akaushi Steak options and all of us LOVED it. The desserts were fabulous...Gateau chocolate Noisette, passionfruit cheesecake, gateau basque w/ crème anglaise.”
“Love this place. 3rd time. Spicy Scallops Nigeria and had Dragonfly Roll, was the bomb and the Fireball Roll good but a little bit more spicy I'd prefer but won't stop.me folsom going back over and over again, plus the woman who is there not sure I she is the owner what a pleasantly lovely woman, always smiling and so kind.”
“This was our last spot of the day. We enjoyed our visit. Our host was super nice, friendly and informative. She gave us info about the wine, the owner, and the area. We had sparkling to whites to reds. We enjoyed sitting outside in the comfy chairs and the view of the vineyard. Such a relaxing place to visit. Walked away with some sparkling wine.”
“EXCELLENT!!! Wished we would have found this place long ago! GREAT food, AWESOME staff, we will be back! I served in the US Army in Germany in the early 80’s, very authentic food! Took me right back to the Schutzenhaus and the Imbiss Stand in Giessen! THANK YOU!”
“Went here for a little girls night out and it was very fun! There are so many drink options- and the 2 we tried were great! The food was also pretty good- big fan of the sticky ribs and all the tacos. Hoping to come back and try more soon! Also our server was awesome, wish we remembered her name.”
“We love this place!!! Excellent food, it’s so delicious!!! My favorites are the meat lasagna, spicy rigatoni alla vodka, Caesar salad, arugula salad, fried calamari, shrimp scampi, cannoli’s and more!!! Can’t wait to try more! The service is excellent, the owners are so nice, and the atmosphere is wonderful. Thank you!!!”
“Good food, fast & friendly service, plus excellent for the price! I usually don't find many places that are able to do all 3, but I only spent $53 for the bottlecap burger, fettuccine Alfredo, lemonade, a beer, and an appetizer of fried pickles. Really friendly staff, but we got the food fairly fast. As a bonus it's a nice relaxed atmosphere.”
“This is really a good restaurant and it’s located on Farmer’s in Santa Rosa, CA. I had originally gone to another restaurant but they were so “full” and I just wanted to get a meal to go and be out of there. I ordered the Shrimp & Chicken Udon Noodles box which consisted of the Udon Noodles, kale, bean sprouts, steamed rice, side salad with cucumbers and tomatoes with a Japanese dressing. A soup with tofu & green onions in a bone beef broth. Also, I order the Jumbo Tempura Shrimp and it came with a teriyaki sauce. A very good meal with large portions. Friendly staff & a clean environment which is very important to me.”
“First time at this Indian restaurant. Had the lunch special and chose the chicken tikka masala. The lunch came with basmati rice.naan and a lentil soup and a salad. The soup was very good with the tasty lentils, salad was with specialty lettuce, also very good and I chose the medium spicy for the masala. It was very good. The restaurant has a check in special that gives 10% off the meal, but our server had no idea what that was, and that he needed to talk with the owner. Ambiance for the place that is in a strip mall was a typical Indian restaurant, very few patrons during our visit. I would return, maybe next time will get that 10% discount.”
“Awesome staff and great food! Lost my phone in the bar last night (totally my fault) and the owner came to my rescue and found it! Dolan’s is a neighborhood bar at its finest. They do it right!”

“pot roast.. great service air conditioner worked great becuz it was over 100! degrees that day.. Also recommend cheese.. cake.. Grandslam.. eggs hash browns. ok.. Server was an absolute delight.

Gestational diabetes so the omelette was a great option”
“Great place to get some late night food. One of the Only places open in town 24 hours.. Overnight staff that works there are really Good peopleEvery time I come to the window.The gentleman in the window Always attends me and such a great manner..”
“The menu offers a wide variety of options to choose from, and I love being able to customize my order to suit my cravings. The food is consistently delicious, and the prices are affordable, making it a great value for a fast-food meal. 10/10!”
“My wife and I like the Southwest Salad. It's on the menu but when I ordered it I was told that it was discontinued. To the staff, if it's discontinued then atleast remove it from the menu. Also, I ordered stuffed jalapeños, tacos and chicken strips amongst other things, I like to eat the 3 named items with buttermilk and when I asked the cashier for it he told me they were out. So I came back to the hotel without 2 of the main items I like from Jack in the Box.”
“Dining room was open but looked closed. Took a very long time for anyone to acknowledge there were two people at the counter. Took a long time to pick up my mobile order after employee noticed.”

“The ice cream was phenomenal! You have to stop by and try this place out if you are traveling through here. They have ice cream cocktails ($14-$16). As well as snacks.”
“Our experience with the Wooden Petal was fantastic. I ordered 8 pretzels for my husband’s birthday because he LOVES pretzels. I read great reviews on a few pages and gave it a try. The experience from start to finish was great. They were so friendly when I picked up my order. There was a little birthday message on the box. Such a nice detail. We warmed up the pretzels according to the directions and wow were they tasty! We will order again, for sure. Thank you for helping me create such a nice birthday weekend.”
“The rotating menu keeps things exciting, offering a variety of unique cookie flavors each week alongside their signature classics. Every cookie is baked to perfection, with a perfect balance of chewiness and indulgence that's impossible to resist.”
“Stopped in for lunch to a restaurant I had visited before, as my regular was so busy and had no parking available. I truly had a great Dungeness crab salad! Awesome dressing on lettuce that did not overpower the whole. Cucumber crisp, tomatoes were good, sliced boiled egg, plenty of a perfectly beautiful avocado sliced on top, sliced asparagus was a yum and a great portion of sweet tasty Dungeness crab. I now want to return to try other things on the menu. Only I just didn't get a water refill , but they were busy so that was overlooked.”
“Great British pub. If you’re looking for a place that aside from having some really good selection of British and Irish beers, has good pub food to match, then Goose and Fern is the place. It’s unique in Santa Rosa, not only for its scotch egg, but where else can you get a black velvet. This pub has a great vibe that’s relaxing, very friendly, and welcoming. It’s a place to have a pint, while entertaining a good conversation.”
“Hands down the best breakfast in Santa Rosa. If you come here often they know your name and make you feel welcome. Everything is fresh, cooked perfectly and in the 10+ years I have been going, it keeps getting better. Stephanie is my favorite! You won’t regret dining here but be prepared to wait on the weekends.”
“Can we talk about the best rotation on flavors!!! Every week I get to try something new. Todays choice was chocolate dipped strawberry and caramel heath in a cup. If You haven’t tried their homemade waffle cones you gotta. Friendly staff and owners. Clean environment and cute seating right outside. Located just off hwy 12. Great little stop for any time of the day. Icecream served by the half pint, pint, scoops, icecream Sandos and much more.! 5️⃣⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Just had an excellent pourover Ethiopian Guji light roast. Water coffee ratio was spot on as well as a nicely roasted bean. I appreciate the care that goes into a good cuppa.”
“This is my go to lunch spot. Everything is amazing! I usually get a sandwich and soup. All of their ingredients are fresh and the soups are to die for. Get the broccoli cheddar whenever it's available. Trust me. Everyone who works here is super friendly and I always love stopping in.”
“Litas was an above and beyond experience. Great food at even better prices. My server was amazing she was so understanding of me and my friends and I can’t wait to go back and enjoy their chicken friend steak”
“I want to thank the person who assisted me today at the counter. My sister recently died and I was a nervous wreck there. I mistakenly hit the email receipt and was trying to type in my email address. My hands were so shakey that I just couldn't finish. She was so understanding and helped me cancel the receipt and gave me a paper receipt. That meant a lot to me.”

“Slightly pricey with smaller portions, but unmistakably good food. Their staple banh mi is great, their com sung is solid, and their teas are delicious, but it's hard to justify the prices for the quantity you get. Service is decently quick, with two very friendly and charming owners. However, the restaurant can get very hot in the summer without air conditioning. Overall a lovely family owned place, albeit slightly expensive.”
“A menu focused on small plates, all of which were creative and well-executed. Service was friendly but seemed harried on this night. Wine program, as you would expect, with so many of the wines available in half bottles, is exceptional. Only downside is that many of the tables are lousy, either next to people running into the kitchen, putting in orders or right in front of doors.- Mushroom salad - sounds simple but very flavorful, with shaved fennel. Get- Tuna tartare - one of the best that we have had, with perfect balance and size and cut to tuna. Get- Chicken thighs - tzatziki was to die for. Get”
“Moved to Downtown Santa Rosa a year ago. I've made it a point to visit Mac's (almost) weekly. They serve up amazing sandwiches and offer 47 different options on the menu. Incredibly nice staff and you can feel the family owned atmosphere.”
“The food was delicious, very fresh, looked beautiful. The robot is a neat tool for delivering sushi. That's pretty cool. There was one server literally sprinting upstairs and downstairs to try to help everybody. On one hand, we didn't get the correct amount of silverware for the people at our table and didn't see our server for 15 minutes at a time. On the other hand, the poor lady was trying to run the whole ship herself. So based off of one person serving an entire two-level restaurant, it would be a seven Stars out of five. As far as my actual experience receiving service not so great. If I were to do this again I would just get my food to go. Also, I have no idea who picked the music or the volume for the music but both were a bad choice. It was the strangest loudest music. We had to yell to hear each other over the table. Also heads up the miso comes in like a double wall stainless steel bowl maybe so it feels safe to eat touching from the outside but it's way hotter on the inside.”

“I go here often to pick up lunch for my wife and I during her lunch break as she works at the Macy's at calling Town Mall within the same parking lot as this Subway that is within the Valero gas station. There's a young woman by the name of Liz who is very professional and very kind and quick and good at her job. You can actually hear her smile when she speaks. I think she legitimately is enjoying her job because it is pretty hard to fake that with every customer so I think her positivity is most definitely for real. Out of the many times I've gone here to pick up lunch there's only one time I ever had a problem and it was when she was really busy making a big order for another customer and I was stuck waiting for 5 minutes while Liz was by herself making everything and then after that 5 minute wait another Subway employee who was a much older woman decided to help me but why did she make me wait so long? That long wait made me think that Liz was there by herself. Other than that everything has been great here”
“I never go to the Mall, but I'm from Texas , and I love your Hamburgers, every time I go visit I make sure I visit Dairy Queen. Now that I know you are here I will be visiting you soon...♡♡♡”
“Burger King has undoubtedly earned its place as one of the best fast food restaurants I've ever had the pleasure of visiting, and it's all thanks to the iconic Whopper. The moment I took my first bite of that flame-grilled masterpiece, I was hooked. The Whopper's perfectly charred patty, topped with fresh lettuce, juicy tomatoes, and tangy pickles, all held together by a soft sesame seed bun, creates an expolsion of flavors that lingers in my taste buds. It's a burger experience like no other, and it keeps me coming back for more. With its mouthwatering taste and unwavering quality, Burger King has certainly won my heart as the ultimate go-to fast food destination.P.S. I've 10,000 Whoppers”
“This Starbucks is great! There are two Starbucks locations close to my work and I always prefer this location over the others as the drinks are made the quickest, the staff is always very nice and the atmosphere is the most pleasant. Anna helped me today and she was so nice. Great customer service should be commended and she deserves a raise.”
“This is the best burger king I've ever been to. I've never had cold food or a wrong order, despite coming frequently. They serve my favorite French fries in all of santa rosa; always perfectly crispy and freshly heated. And the employees are beyond helpful, even at the latest hours. People expect too much from a fast food joint, yall do the best with what youre paid and I appreciate you for doing it!!”
“This is a great surprise place. The grilled chicken is excellent and piping hot on your plate. I had the corn and bean sides. You get 4 tortillas to wrap around your food. Churros for dessert. They offer fountain drinks which allows for multiple refills without multiple costs”
“Taco Bell is my go-to spot for tasty and affordable Tex-Mex cuisine! Whether I'm craving crunchy tacos, cheesy quesadillas, or flavorful burritos, Taco Bell always delivers on flavor and value. The menu offers a wide variety of options to choose from, including vegetarian and vegan-friendly choices.”
“Can always count on a consistent experience with these huge corporate guys. They are certainly keeping up with the price increases that are seen across the board. As they should, I suppose.”
“The food here is Yummy and we really enjoy the chips and salsa ( which isn't too hot ).Everything is fresh and delicious.I love going through the drive thru and chatting with Victor.He's very nice and makes me feel special !Muchas Gracias !”
“Steven, you are the best. I came in feeling frustrated and confused and you took the time to listen to me, actually hear me, and help. You are my new favourite Barista and this is my new favourite store. It goes a long way to be heard, even more so when the person's attitude was so perfectly balanced with professionalism and friendliness. I cannot thank you enough.”
“Love this place! My boyfriend and I first tried Vine on DoorDash and immediately knew it would be added to our regular take out rotation.Then my dad came into town for work, finished his work early so he looked for a place to go eat while I was working, saw a lamb burger on the menu and knew he would he going there! In addition to the great food, the owner and server were both extremely friendly and welcoming.We love Vine Burgers and recommend it to all our friends and visitors in the area!”
“Casual dinning done right.A gem of a neighbourhood eatery, to be jealous of.From start to check, was flawless.Friendly, attentive staff, proud to show off their wines and a food.Everything we ate was on point, and everything we drank equally as good.Good portions and easy to share courses was a vibe.”
“I seriously could eat here everyday. We have tried many dishes and they are all amazing. The staff is so welcoming and friendly even when we walk in close to them closing. They treat you like family and are very attentive.”

“We Could Eat Here EverydayWe discovered Lee’s while staying at a nearby hotel. It was love at first bite!The authentic Vietnamese restaurant is outstanding. The menu offers Pho, noodles, Banh Mi, stir fry, fried rice, and chow mein, all available in seafood, beef, pork, or chicken. There are also vegan and kids menus.Lee and his wife are lovely hosts, making everyone welcome. Lee’s sense of humor is contagious. We enjoyed lively conversation and his attentive service.We dearly loved the shrimp chow mein, shrimp/squid noodle soup, Vietnamese spring rolls with shrimp and pork, and steamed pot stickers. All were fantastic, but warning – servings are enormous. We had too much food to finish. Also, Lee’s does not serve alcohol but has a wide variety of beverages on hand.Try them when in the area; you’ll be glad you did.”
“The best fish & chips in town, but also a really great place for lunch or dinner, even if you don't feel like fish. Their chicken strips, jalapeño poppers, fried zucchini, etc. are all great. Quick and friendly service. Whenever someone asks me where a good place for food is around here, I always tell them about this place first. Highly recommended.”
“The restaurant was quite busy, indicative of its quality. The food was excellent, and the staff adeptly managed the high volume of customers, resulting in surprisingly short wait times. Cool looking building as well.”
“From the moment you walk in, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee fills the air, tempting you to indulge in a rich and flavorful cup of joe. Whether you prefer a classic espresso or a creamy latte, Brew Coffee and Beer House has you covered with their expertly crafted beverages made from premium beans sourced from around the world.”
“This is a very cute and Qwaint brewery, it definitely feels more like a lounge. And opens pretty early, which is great However, they were children there late at around 10. Which is not great when you’re drinking with friends.”
“Simply AMAZING STREET TACO VALUE!! And the flavor is OUTSTANDING!! Super friendly staff and the milk shakes my two boys had, they LOVED because they we not over sweet! Thank you!! Where else can you order 12 Tacos and two milk shakes, two baskets chips and all the salsa we could eat, and 4 glasses of water each for less that $50???? This day and age, not anywhere else I've friend. Seriously ya all need to come eat some GREAT TACOS FOR TINY MONEY!!! $2.49 each!!!”
“Tom deserves employee of the month, as he provided one of the best customer experiences I’ve had in the fast food industry. Please someone give this man a raise!”
“Stopped in for lunch to a restaurant I had visited before, as my regular was so busy and had no parking available. I truly had a great Dungeness crab salad! Awesome dressing on lettuce that did not overpower the whole. Cucumber crisp, tomatoes were good, sliced boiled egg, plenty of a perfectly beautiful avocado sliced on top, sliced asparagus was a yum and a great portion of sweet tasty Dungeness crab. I now want to return to try other things on the menu. Only I just didn't get a water refill , but they were busy so that was overlooked.”
“Obsessed. Jeffrey's is our favorite neighborhood breakfast spot. We like to go an hour or 1.5 hours before closing as the line has died down by this point. My husband is a chicken fried steak connoisseur and he says this is the best one. I'm a big fan of the cobb salad with a side of fries for lunch and the bacon & Brussels sprouts hash for breakfast. The staff are friendly, personable and accommodating. Ambiance is family friendly. Outdoor seating available and dog friendly patio.”

We are from Vallejo, but will be coming back to Santa Rosa specifically for this restaurant!”
“Great British pub. If you’re looking for a place that aside from having some really good selection of British and Irish beers, has good pub food to match, then Goose and Fern is the place. It’s unique in Santa Rosa, not only for its scotch egg, but where else can you get a black velvet. This pub has a great vibe that’s relaxing, very friendly, and welcoming. It’s a place to have a pint, while entertaining a good conversation.”
“It is a great place for two or four people. Employes have a good attitude ? to serve the customer. You can eat good food while you can listen to Mexican music ?.”
“Hands down the best breakfast in Santa Rosa. If you come here often they know your name and make you feel welcome. Everything is fresh, cooked perfectly and in the 10+ years I have been going, it keeps getting better. Stephanie is my favorite! You won’t regret dining here but be prepared to wait on the weekends.”
“It would be cool if the boats were being utilized for food. The top part (a conveyor belt) was functional and some of our food came to the table on jt. Overall the food was okay in an area without many Japanese cuisine offerings. If I was around I'd come back, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come. Nice staff, OK service (we came during a busy time). Restaurant was clean.”
“Just had an excellent pourover Ethiopian Guji light roast. Water coffee ratio was spot on as well as a nicely roasted bean. I appreciate the care that goes into a good cuppa.”

“We were fortunate to treat our daughter to dinner on her birthday. Le Gare's was perfect, fancy without being fussy. The food was wonderful and the service was perfect. Highly recommended.”
“Had a great table in a great setting, great service with Paul, and great food. Lucky us! I have one tip, if you are on a low salt diet this is gonna be hard to pick out something. This is not a criticism. I did find it at the upper end of my personal tolerance, but please understand the food was delicious. Not only delicious but refreshingly creative. We eat by splitting courses. Started with the pimento cheese bread (brioche), this is not a stand-alone ap but a gooey topping on bread that is light, airy, and rich. It went well with their well above average Negroni. Creativity kicked in with the tacos, probably all of them are good. Our pick was pastrami tacos. Very fun. I've heard the duck choice is good. Next were the lamb meatballs. Some people complain about the gaminess of lamb, but I complain when it isn't gamey-lamby enough. If you like mild lamb, their choice of meat is great. My personal preferences aside, it was a very good dish. Finished with a very nice and just-right panna cotta. This place is definitely going into our rotation (The Santa Rosa, CA rotation: B&B, Jackson's, Grossmans, Ca Bianca, Cascabel, Yeti)”
“Until corona is over this will be my review.Edit: this place is great!! Just avoid coming here on major drinking days if you decide to be "fashionably late" you will be stuck in line. Show up early, have a good time, and enjoy the drinks.”
“Absolutely delicious! The menu is huge and the food was wonderful, with huge portions--and an excellent selection of vegan options. Service was excellent, and staff is very knowledgeable about vegan food. The setting is lovely and peaceful, with a fountain at the entrance.This restaurant is a hidden gem. Don't miss it if you're in the Santa Rosa area.”
“One of the best up-and-coming breweries in Northern California. Brewery itself is great. Good selection of very drinkable beers and a lot you can buy cans for. We've had them once before when in Santa Rosa and look forward to when they will be available all over.Brewery is really nice - kid and dog friendly (yes, we did have the people with the screaming kids next to us - people who do not understand other people exist in the world and don't want to hear your screaming kids the whole time we're trying to enjoy some beers - but that's not the brewery's fault - just be aware - if you don't want to be around screaming kids and parents who just let their kids go - this is not the place for you).Any place that lets dogs in is going to a good place. They have games here too and of course we left with shirts and hoodies.Support this place. With a lot of the breweries in the area closing down, it's good this place is thriving and hopefully will grow. It seems like Henhouse (who we also love) has really taken over the area but there's plenty of room for another great brewery.Also, if there's a beer you want to take home that they don't can, they will bottle some for you right there. That is awesome!! We of course took advantage of this - love it.”
“I wasn’t sure how the food would be because it’s located in a small hidden grocery store but it was so delicious that I went back to order more. My favorite is the lamb and beef pita/ wrap.Cooked and seasoned amazing. A new ”
“A+ service and food. Beef Cheek, Salmon, Scallops, Onion Soup and Creme Brule (huge) were extremely well prepared. Beef fell apart with a fork, wonderful flavor. Potatoes under with the gravy, perfect fit. Scallop dish very rich. Cheesy, flavorful and cooked perfectly. Sauce was stupid good. Probably was the highest A+. Onion soup was exactly what it should have been....Classic French Onion Soup. Salmon done very French style. Sauce was over the top good. Creme Brule was huge, biggest I have ever been served (over 100 times). More importantly, excellent flavor and texture (both custard and hard flamed top). Service was attentive, timely and not overbearing. Really awesome experience!!! Will be back very soon!!”

“Six of us, four adults and two children, had dinner at La Rosa recently and were very happy with our experience. The food, service, and ambiance were outstanding. We were seated outside on the patio. It was a bit chilly but they had the heaters going and it was very comfortable. The food was excellent. We started with drinks and guac. Two of us had mocktails which I am beginning to prefer to the real thing, one had sangria and one beer. It was a nice start. Four of us had the combination plates which include one or two of a selection of items including tacos plus refried beans and rice. One of our group had fish tacos and the other chimichanga. My combo had a chili relleno and a crispy beef taco. My wife had a tamale with a crispy taco. They were very good and there was a lot of food. Our server Carrie was very helpful and friendly. I definitely recommend.”

“Amazing food and service. Great seasoning and overall food not a drop or morsel left on plate. Service was on point so if you looking for great food, great service, and a place to stop an enjoy company or just a nice night stop in to El Coqui.”
“Love this place. 3rd time. Spicy Scallops Nigeria and had Dragonfly Roll, was the bomb and the Fireball Roll good but a little bit more spicy I'd prefer but won't stop.me folsom going back over and over again, plus the woman who is there not sure I she is the owner what a pleasantly lovely woman, always smiling and so kind.”
“Hidden gem in Santa Rosa. Food was delicious. We ordered cherry crispy pork, orange sesame beef, war wanton soup, happy family, po-po flaming platter and all were great. Our favorite was the orange sesame beef because it was just with the right amount of batter (lightly battered) to make it crispy but tender beef. Highly recommend!Parking: But after 6pm, it was free. You can park behind the restaurant or around the streets.”
“From the moment you walk in, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee fills the air, tempting you to indulge in a rich and flavorful cup of joe. Whether you prefer a classic espresso or a creamy latte, Brew Coffee and Beer House has you covered with their expertly crafted beverages made from premium beans sourced from around the world.”
“We were so incredibly blown away by the food and the staff! The drinks were so tasty and creative, and each plate was seasoned so well. We had never been here before, so we were shocked at how small the seating area is. But surprisingly, they move quickly! They even started us with drinks and appetizers on the front patio. Darion was an amazing server! He was so helpful and hilarious, and wonderfully kind and patient. We will absolutely be back to try more items on the menu.”
“This was our last spot of the day. We enjoyed our visit. Our host was super nice, friendly and informative. She gave us info about the wine, the owner, and the area. We had sparkling to whites to reds. We enjoyed sitting outside in the comfy chairs and the view of the vineyard. Such a relaxing place to visit. Walked away with some sparkling wine.”
“Sam's For Play Cafe is a quaint and reasonable priced eatery. We found the food excellent. Staff is very pleasant and helpful. We will be eating there when we are in the area.”
“EXCELLENT!!! Wished we would have found this place long ago! GREAT food, AWESOME staff, we will be back! I served in the US Army in Germany in the early 80’s, very authentic food! Took me right back to the Schutzenhaus and the Imbiss Stand in Giessen! THANK YOU!”

“Best sushi in Santa Rosa! We always get fast and friendly service. The sushi is made with fresh ingredients and you can definitely taste the difference. We appreciate they don't smother all the rolls with a bunch of sauce like other sushi restaurants. The ingredients are always fresh and clean . We pick up all the time and we've never been disappointed. I have two young picky eaters and they love Kamura! They won't eat sushi from anywhere else ( I've tried) ...but they gobble this stuff down quick! This is our favorite restaurant.”
“Went here for a little girls night out and it was very fun! There are so many drink options- and the 2 we tried were great! The food was also pretty good- big fan of the sticky ribs and all the tacos. Hoping to come back and try more soon! Also our server was awesome, wish we remembered her name.”
“We wanted to try a new sushi place, this is going to be our new favorite! We tried the gyoza, Dragon Roll, Hamachi Lovers roll, and the Tropical Dream roll. Everything was delicious and very fresh (which is saying something since we went towards closing time on a Monday night). The service was very friendly and the prices were very reasonable. Great spot for date night!”
“Delicious fresh foods and generous portions are served in a pleasant Mediterranean environment by cordial staff. I'd eat here everyday if I could!Vegetarian options: Excellent east west tofu salad with Tahiti dressing!”
“The Chickpea dip is served warm with toasted pita. The flavor is mild and pairs perfectly with the wine. Next we ordered the Fish Goulash which is warm, crispy and delicious! For extra flavor we ordered a side of spicy lentils. They made my #5 fresh to order so it took the longest but worth the wait! Then we ordered a meat combo to go for good measure. Lol Great staff and comfortable atmosphere to share real good food with people you like since you may be sharing food and eating with your fingers. Always delicious and everyone I've brought comes back! Must try! Be adventurous!”
“Las Palmas is our favorite place to grab a burrito. Veggie burrito is the best around. My go to is al pastor. It's hard to try the other meat when this one is so good!”
“it's a great bat with good people and awsome people and great singers for karaoke every Thursday and Saturday nights. Has 2 pool table and reasonable prices on drinks and food”
“I like this brewery - it's cute and has kind of a locals vibe. The beer selection is pretty good but I definitely want to come back and try the delicious smelling food.”
“You will feel right at home at this welcoming tap room. The beer selection is perfectly curated by the delightful owners & staff ! Enjoy a pint in good company & take some cans home. A must for Beer Lovers visiting Sonoma County.”
“I love the beertenders they are all super fun and friendly. The beers are amazing and always cold. Cooperage is my favorite place to come, be social and have a couple beers. I love it here. ?”
“We love this place!!! Excellent food, it’s so delicious!!! My favorites are the meat lasagna, spicy rigatoni alla vodka, Caesar salad, arugula salad, fried calamari, shrimp scampi, cannoli’s and more!!! Can’t wait to try more! The service is excellent, the owners are so nice, and the atmosphere is wonderful. Thank you!!!”
“Had to make a quick run out to Guerneville to drop off a Bulbous Head Knarly Whipstickler to my old pal Anaconda John there at the Hideaway. He hosting a long shot derby there this Easter weekend, and needs that thing to maintain control of the crowd, they can get pretty rambunctious when all they've got on is a speedo. When I saw the Honey Sliced Ham joint I whipped it on in fast! That Honey Baked ham is Amazing, probably the best in the state. ☆☆☆☆☆”
“Came here on a Sunday morning, hungover, looking for the cure. prayed to the hunger gods and found this place. My hangover and hunger magically disappeared. Get the pozole!!! The pozole had a lot of flavor and the place had good service. It tastes yummy”
“Consistent great food, very nice and speedy service. We're never disappointed! If I had anything to complain about is it's always cold in there! I just started bringing something warmer just in case.”
“First time there. Food was really good. Super fresh tasting and the portions are gigantic!! I'm super picky about the places I'll eat. The chicken didn't have me wondering if it really was 'chicken'. I'll be back for sure!! �”
“Ordered a sope with no lechuga but when they brought it out, it was filled with lettuce but I didn’t want to say anything so i scraped it off…other than that, food was good. Chips and the green dip was good. Parking can be limited and in the same area as walgreens, and other mini places like sushi and froyo.”
“I used to go there a lot the food was amazing as well as the service. The restaurant gives you the Indian cultural look which is pretty good. The only thing that is missing is having some music. Overall my experience at this restaurant is great.”
“Good spot, great service with a nice friendly vibe. Nice beer selection, limited dark beers. Had a few unique beers that were really good. Been at this location a few times and it gets better every time.”
“It was raining, I was starving, I stopped into a parking lot where this truck was, and the owner was there. I ordered the mulitas and the food was so incredibly delicious ?I finished my order and went back to the truck to get a second round for later. They were super nice and the food was great. I'm pretty much a stalker of this food truck, and their cochinita pibil is also very tender and juicy.”
“I'll be honest, the decor is whack and the music choice is bizzare, but this is one of my favorite breakfast spots in town. The eggs Benedict are scrumptious, and the biscuits and gravy are exceptional. The country potatoes are delicious. Service is also surprisingly quick for a sit down breakfast spot. If you need a quick hearty breakfast I recommend this place.”
“Amazing breakfast there. Nice little family restaurant where everyone seems to be smiling. That is not all that common nowadays. My go to in a Mexican restaurant is to try the AL pastor, and if it ducks I probably won't come back.ir is worth a go there.”
“The salmon salad was very good. Lots of greens had extra to take home. The veggie egg rolls were also excellent. I left full. The staff was very kind helpful and sophisticated. I was not rushed and on a Sunday I really appreciate that. Thanks for a positive and serene experience.”
“The guy at the register was personable and helpful. We had a large order, so.it took a little while to get our food, but it was well worth the wait. They gave us some extra spicy sauce for our spicy bowls, and it was very good. The spicy pork bowl and spicy chicken bowls were both large serving and impressively seasoned and flavors. The gyoza was crunchy on the outside with a fairly large amount of filling. The Thai rolls were great. My wife loved the chicken katsu. All of the food seemed to be fresh, and prepared well. The salads had a sweet vinegar type dressing, and the vegetables were fresh and crisp. Last but not least, their sushi list is lengthy and full of diverse options. Overall a great place to get thai/korean food. I will definitely be a return customer.”
“I regularly get lunch here and the food is consistently delicious, hot, and fresh! Chana masala, matar paneer, saag paneer, and paneer tikka masala are all delicious”
“I have no complaints ? Pho was good, service was attentive and atmosphere was comfortable ? ? so really maybe 4 stars ? but I have no reasons no to give them 5 ?♂️??”
“HenHouse Brewing Company is a true gem in the craft beer scene! Their dedication to quality and innovation shines through in every sip. From hoppy IPAs to smooth stouts, HenHouse offers a diverse range of brews that cater to every taste.”
“Good food, fast & friendly service, plus excellent for the price! I usually don't find many places that are able to do all 3, but I only spent $53 for the bottlecap burger, fettuccine Alfredo, lemonade, a beer, and an appetizer of fried pickles. Really friendly staff, but we got the food fairly fast. As a bonus it's a nice relaxed atmosphere.”
“Cute Peanuts-themed cafe where you could get a quick bite, warm beverages, etc, to fuel up yourself or you family members before heading onto the ink rink. Charles M Schulz himself used to eat breakfast at a reserved table before starting his work day. Very cool history and insight behind it all. The workers are friendly and polite. Service "can be" slow during peak hours and just because they are so busy serving people. So be patient and enjoy the ambiance of it all.”
“If you’re in Santa Rosa and want to have a great breakfast, come to J&Ms Midtown Café, excellent for breakfast has a great menu. Great service great environment come get some breakfast or lunch.. ?????☝? love food love life.”

“Our family had a last minute birthday party here and we had a great experience. David and Jerry were great and accommodated our party so well with smile and amazing customer service. We appreciated so it much! And David was training a new person as well and handled it well.”
“I've been enjoying this food truck, I just usually get a bean, rice and cheese for 8.75 with tax. I've also had some bigger orders as well but lately I've been on the search for under 10.00 lunches and this place, I like!”
“Today a few friends and I celebrated my birthday, by getting dinner and drinks at Chevys. We sat at a table by the bar. All the staff were absolutely amazing, and such a good time. Special thanks to Ricardo for being awesome! I wish I could remember the other waiters name because he was so sweet and did an amazing job also.”
“To call Crystal's Corner merely a donut shop would be a disservice! Yes, the donuts are excellent -- I especially love their apple fritters -- but they also have breakfast sandwiches, hamburgers, tacos, chow mein, teriyaki; the list just goes on and on. I'll grant you that some of their non-donut items are not exactly gourmet, but they get the job done, and the prices are very reasonable. I'm lucky to live right down the street because some mornings the line is out the door, so we have to come back later!”
“We had a wonderful time celebrating my daughter's bridal shower. Everyone had a wonderful time. Food was good and staff was very nice and attentive. I would recommend Tudor Rose to anyone thinking of having a wonderful celebration.”
“Their food was great, the service and management was helpful and the old school feeling inside was awesome too. Unfortunately they are no longer in business for over a month or so. I saw a PG&E letter of power shutoff stuck on the window a couple of weeks ago and the tables and chairs are all gone now.”
“The food was delicious, very fresh, looked beautiful. The robot is a neat tool for delivering sushi. That's pretty cool. There was one server literally sprinting upstairs and downstairs to try to help everybody. On one hand, we didn't get the correct amount of silverware for the people at our table and didn't see our server for 15 minutes at a time. On the other hand, the poor lady was trying to run the whole ship herself. So based off of one person serving an entire two-level restaurant, it would be a seven Stars out of five. As far as my actual experience receiving service not so great. If I were to do this again I would just get my food to go. Also, I have no idea who picked the music or the volume for the music but both were a bad choice. It was the strangest loudest music. We had to yell to hear each other over the table. Also heads up the miso comes in like a double wall stainless steel bowl maybe so it feels safe to eat touching from the outside but it's way hotter on the inside.”
“I couldn't find the location for taqueria lupita in fulton since I actually ate at that location instead of the one in Santa rosa but I gotta say the food here was great. It was my first time coming here and for it being my local food truck I will for sure be coming here more often. The service was quick and pretty good price.”
“Tom deserves employee of the month, as he provided one of the best customer experiences I’ve had in the fast food industry. Please someone give this man a raise!”
“Incredible hand-tossed oven-baked pizzas with so many unique ingredients that make their pizzas truly stand apart. This isn't your everyday pizza place - they have a Greek deli with Gyros, Baklava, Spanakopita, Greek salads and more. All their ingredients are locally sourced and they are family owned. They have great specials, HUGE calzones and a New York style slice counter too. They have beers on tap, wine and a great happy hour to make you want to stick around on their shaded/heated patio. Highly recommend their Phoenix Pizza, Zeus pizza, Cubano calzone, and their incredible gyros. The lamb alone is something to write home about.This is a family-run, small operation so be patient while they are hand-preparing every item with care and freshness in mind. Calling ahead or ordering online is always a great option too!”

“We often go here for drinks so we wanted to try dinner. Just a tad overpriced in my opinion. Fake plants for the price they could have a florist come in with fresh arrangements. Will be back at the bar and on a side note they changed the happy hour menu also, not as good as it was...miss those beef tips”
“This place deserves a rare 5 star review. Brought the family on Easter for lunch, extra comfortable atmosphere but tasteful and high quality. Food was surprising good, every element, all 4 lunches a hit, quantity and quality was great. Good specials menu which lured 2 of us to try special crab dishes (usually a bad idea) but the crab was local, super fresh, big portions. Actually, they only use local ingrediants and each plate's presentation was great. We were each convinced we had ordered the best dish on the menu. Service was great, we forced our server to recommend dishes and asked a ton of questions, he ended up way out on a limb then looked like a pro when each of us told him he was 100% right.”
“The interior has a bit of a tropical decor and a nice vacation-type vibe. We decided to order a few plant-based dishes to share. We had the magic mushrooms which had a nice charred taste. The fries were crispy and served with a pineapple ketchup for a different twist. The sliders were good, we ordered them with a lettuce wrap since the buns weren't vegan. I enjoyed my martini and the service was attentive. It was fun to have some plant-based dishes to try and an adult beverage!”
“My daughter recommended this restaurant and I took my sister there last night. The food was very good, and would totally go back again. BUT I had a $50.00 gift certificate to use on a $70.+ tab and they wouldn't take it. Waiter said, manager isn't accepting gift certificates at this time. What the hell? It's not cheap to eat out any more as it is, and to not to accept a gift certificate is BS!”
“Michael L. created an atmosphere of bliss. Walking in to the crowded BJs I wondered if I made the right choice but as soon as Michael L. greeted me with his kind smile I know the whole experience would be wonderful. His attention to detail, his kind compassion, and his willingness to go above and beyond truly show the strength of his character. This location is lucky to have such an incredible asset to their team. Thank you for everything- I’ll be back soon! Fries are also great!”
“Is this in Northern California Seaside fish house? No. Is it Scoma's on on Fisherman's Wharf? No. Is it located in a strip mall? yes. It's kind of like elevated Joe's Crab Shack except the food is actually good, the Crab and Seafood was excellent quality, and the service is even better. I usually like my crab and seafood seasonings somewhat mild so I can enjoy the taste of the fish, but they're seasoning rubs are 10/10.”
“We had a great dinner at the Union Hotel. The food was great and the server was very friendly and accommodating. It was great to see the manager or owner helping out the team. We will be back soon!”
“Great ambiance, kind (and usually FAST) service, very yummy food (try the molcajete mix..... sooooo flavorful and enough for 3 meals), and wonderful cocktails (the margarita flight is a favorite but the Paloma is a close second).Dietary restrictions: The molcajetes are great for a low carb option!Parking: Parking lot gets full during peak timesKid-friendliness: Several options for kids, some of which are smaller portions of the main menu (my oldest likes the kids enchilada) and others that are American (my youngest likes the chicken nuggets and fries)Wheelchair accessibility: Entrance is wheelchair accessible and all of the tables (minus a few tall tables) would accommodate a wheelchair no problem”
“The rotating menu keeps things exciting, offering a variety of unique cookie flavors each week alongside their signature classics. Every cookie is baked to perfection, with a perfect balance of chewiness and indulgence that's impossible to resist.”
“Best Quesabirria Tacos in Santa Rosa and its not even close. The consume sauce is lit. Cant go wrong with enchiladas michoacan. Washed it down with a Michelada. Dont sleep on this place it ridiculously delicious.”
“Great service! The food was exactly what I expected. The drinks were excellent (at the time), and we will definitely be coming back. It was unfortunate that when we got home the ice had melted because there was no Styrofoam cup and the drinks tasted bad. We learned our lesson only go here if we are going to consume it at that moment instead of bringing it home.”
“Visited just after opening and had a quick bite and two cocktails. It's one of the pricier places down town, and our total was $40 for the three items. We enjoyed the Queens Apple and the Melon Breeze with a small plate of Papas Bravas.We then came back later for the night club. It is $5 for women, $10 for men as a cover charge and they accept Venmo or Cash. There is a dress code, and I couldn't find on their website what that meant. Security was out and around the floor, and staff was hustling with their drinks. I was expecting some Rap or RnB music but it was a mix of just good songs with latin roots. It wasn't too crowded, just right. I only rate 4 stars because vaping inside was not enforced as much as it should be.”
“I've enjoyed this place since 2008. Great food and many happy memories gathering here to share it. Attentive service is always much appreciated and their take-out orders are processed relatively quickly. My personal faves in the food department are the pho as well as the yummy spring rolls. All the food I've eaten here has been wonderful.”

“For mall food I liked it. Was feeling like it was pricey for a bowl but cashier gave hints on how to get the most for your money. It's do it yourself on adding the thin slices of meat and veggies to your bowl, and then someone will add sauces/garlic/chili. Once they take it to cook they will add a bowl of noodles. It's a lot of food. My husband and I could of shared if he didn't ask to add a lot of chili sauce.”
“Nice new shiny store !! Great sandwiches !! Tip to staff. Please clean the tables and floor. For a new store, have a little pride. Not sure what it is about Jersey Mike's but everytime I go into one of the Santa Rosa stores, I want to grab a towel and clean the tables and chairs off. There aren't that many to keep up with.”
