50 Best American Restaurants near Saratoga

“Celebrated our anniversary and everything was perfect! Great food and excellent service!!!“

“We asked to sit in a different spot because there was a large table and lots of loud talking. We were moved to the very last table at the end of the restaurant when there were four other tables in the row closer to the front available. When we left, the very first table in the long row was still vacant. I can understand if we did not have a reservation, but we did have one. The wait staff was excellent and the food was delicious. We didn't really appreciate being treated that way.“

“I cannot say enough about this restaurant! GOGA is the place to go for fresh, healthy, delicious food! Definitely Saratoga’s hidden gem! It is behind the UPS building with plenty of parking. The staff is wonderful, very accommodating & Chef Brads presentation & deliciousness of his fabulous meals is always 5 stars! We will be going back this Sunday for brunch with family from out of town that can’t wait to try it! Go GOGA!!“

“Downtown Saratoga been in my life for over 20 years actually 2001 1st time. We ride the canyons to PCH it's a religious practice. Now in Southern CA coming here for funeral came to have a moment with the place and reflect on some memories. The cafe toward the entrance of hwy 9 had a line and was packed. So decided to give this place a shot. I ordered the chicken pesto. The French bread was incredibly good. Red pesto also very good. The chicken was deep fired I'd rather it be pan grilled but pretty good. Overall it's quality food with proper portions. Easy 5 star.“

“One of the best smash burgers we have had. Enjoyed dinner with Redwood Cafe while at Wilkerson Farms. The gentleman that was cooking knows how to make an excellent burger and frys. His service was top notch. I would highly recommend to anyone that come across his food truck to stop and give it a try. You will not regret it. 10/10“

“My wife and I had breakfast and it was terrific. My chicken fried steak was cook to perfection as was eggs. The pancakes were fluffy. A great little place to have a quick or relaxing meal at. The menu has several things I wished I could’ve ordered.“

“Delicious food, fabulous staff. A must try“

“Enjoyed a wonderful meal at Gish. Dishes were beautiful, unique and delicious. Great service. Appreciated chef serving dishes and explaining what inspired creation of dishes. Had been there once before and will be back. Our guests are already planning on coming back in August.“

“Jacks Restaurant and Bar is a great spot for anyone who loves delicious food and exceptional cocktails. The menu offers a delightful variety of dishes, all expertly prepared and packed with flavor. Their cocktails are creative, perfectly balanced, and a true highlight of the experience. Combined with a warm ambiance and attentive service, Jacks delivers an unforgettable dining experience that’s perfect for any occasion.“

“8.1/10

Had the bbq burger with a brioche bun, onions, bacon, and cheese. Bun is nice and soft. Bacon doesn't have any crisp to it and a little chewy. The meat isn't anything spectacular. The texture of the fries is too soft for my liking but are decent.

Burgers are about $15 each and dont come with fries.

They claim to be the highest rated burger in California but I'm not sure about that hype. I'd rate it worse than Red Robin, Super Duper, and Shake Shack.

Overall not a bad burger spot. But it's not something worth going completely out of your way to try.“

“Glad to see a new spot in downtown Sunnyvale. Tried the impossible burger and it was actually very tasty. My teen got the double bacon with egg on top! Over the top but he said it was good. Would come back again. It was clean and food came out fast. The vanilla shake was too icy. I would skip it next time.“

“Great food, friendly atmosphere, clean and prompt service.“

“Never leave reviews. Just HAD to this time!! Outstanding meal & cust svc. Had the French onion soup burger - TO DIE FOR‼️But it’s at least FOUR napkins. Took 1/2 burger home. So delish & filling. The staff VERY friendly & helpful. I went to Cap Exp to meet a friend. Can not wait to try Law Exp (near me). You won’t be sorry. Enjoy‼️‼️“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I absolutely love Urban Plates! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The menu offers a fantastic variety of fresh, seasonal ingredients, and every dish I’ve tried has been bursting with flavor. What really sets Urban Plates apart is their commitment to quality. The salads are vibrant and crisp, the proteins are cooked to perfection, and I can always count on their delicious, house-made sauces to elevate each meal. The option to customize my plate allows me to explore new flavors while sticking to my dietary preferences. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, always ready to recommend their favorites. Plus, the commitment to sustainability and using local ingredients makes me feel good about my choices. Whether I’m dining in or grabbing a meal to go, Urban Plates never disappoints. It’s truly one of my favorite spots to enjoy fresh, wholesome food!“

“a nice casual bar and restaurant. the food is delicious and the service is good.“

“First time trying Eureka even though it’s within walking distance from my place!

I ordered the spicy chicken sandwich and was pleasantly surprised — the quality was definitely a notch above fast food chains like McDonald’s. The chicken was crispy, flavorful, and clearly made with better ingredients.

That said, it’s also more expensive — mine came out to around $20, which feels a bit steep for just a sandwich. But to be fair, you’re also paying for the ambiance, not just the food. The restaurant has a really nice, modern vibe that makes it feel more like a trendy, casual date spot rather than a grab-and-go place.

Unfortunately, I got my order to-go, so I didn’t really get to enjoy the dine-in experience — probably not the best decision. Next time I’ll definitely eat in and soak up the atmosphere.

Overall, solid food, great setting — not the cheapest, but worth it for a casual night out.“

“Fresh air and warm . Food was awesome and they give you yours moneys worth“

“Yummy hamburgers and sweet potato fries, great staff!“

“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.“

“Our group of 17 was superbly handled. Thanks team!“

“Awesome staff to greet on a dreary rainy morning. Martin was cheerful, attentive to the needs of 2 hungry ladies & ensure our bkfast was "just right." Yes, we/I will return next trip here.“

“The turkey dinner with stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy was fresh and delicious!! I would definitely order again!! Yummy!❤️“

“What a great find on the last day of our trip to California. The space was beautiful, the staff was great and the food was delicious! The chicken was delicious and filling and fresh. The Cioppino was fabulous!!! The garlic bread that came with it was delicious. I had a green salad to start and it too was excellent. Great glass of Zinfandel. And the flourless almond cake with pineapple and vanilla gelato also delicious. They focus on fresh, quality ingredients. Well done!“

“local business with great breakfast served.“

“Awesome! Good food and service I will be back!!“

“Great food & a fun bar! Love this place....😍“

“Great place, love the coffee and the friendliness of the employees.“

“I can't go wrong with any of the plates you choose“

“The food is great and they have great bloody Mary’s“

“This is a new restaurant in Mountain View, in the San Antonio Center. It's connected to the new Hyatt Centric, and a restaurant I highly recommend. The Poke Tuna Nachos and Wings were perfectly done and full of flavor. Paired well with an IPA.“

“Happy hour Pizzas 1/2 price 👍 Love BJS“

“Delicious dinner at Scratch! The Brussels sprouts were crispy and tasty, the filet mignon was tender, and the scallops were light and perfectly cooked. I ordered a piña colada that came with an alternative rum (didn’t know and personally not a fan). My server was super kind and quickly fixed it for me. Both she and the front desk lady were so friendly and welcoming. Great food and even better service!“

“Foods always onpoint. Good service. Gets noisy on weekends but if you like to drink, it seems to be a happening place.“

“Decided to stay here at the DoubleTree for the weekend. They have an amazing restaurant and bar inside the hotel that is so convenient for people who don't want to go out. You can eat and drink right there inside your hotel and just relax.

The guy working there his name is Gustavo, he did a fantastic job. And he recommended the tomahawk steak, which I would have to recommend to anybody. It's a $100 steak that's completely worth it!“

“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.“

“Delicious, smokey flavor, tender beef, soft bread and the root beer was delicious! a bit pricey, but well worth it! 😊“

“Very nice casual restaurant, that I visited while in Sunnyvale. I had the salmon, roasted potatoes, and asparagus. My food tasted fresh and flavorful. The atmosphere was clean and well lit. We will definitely come back when we are in town again.“
