50 Best American Restaurants near Saratoga

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

“This was our first time at Hero Ranch, and must say that everything was fabulous. We sat inside at table next to the window, which was really nice. We ordered the peach grilled salad, pork chops, filet mignon and lobster. Everything was very tasty and prepared perfectly. The waiter, Eric was very attentive, kept us informed on timing of the food and made sure our water glasses were kept full. We drink lots of water so that was nice. Overall, a great experience and would be coming back soon.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The best Food Truck!! We got the brisket burger and the fries with all the toppings and it was amazing. 3 year old got the chicken nuggets, normally very picky and will only eat a few bites, she LOVED them and ate them all! The handmade lemonade was perfectly sweet. We got the strawberry and the peach flavors. Loved them so much I booked them for a work event and they were a HUGE hit! Thank you for great service“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!“

“Sometimes they do not know how to properly construct a sandwich and instead of putting the spreader sauce on the bun they put it directly on the protein causing the sandwich to slide all over the place. How they present their sandwiches is inconsistent“

“Our family’s all time favorite restaurant in the Bay Area… genuinely good foods worth of every penny 👍🏻“

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

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

“Excelente atención , Delicioso variedades de platillos me encanta es mi segunda vez llegando ahí y me encanto Ohh algo muy importante buenísima musica como Zzumberas nos encanto TODO !!! Realmente Gracias Recomendado 💯 % impecable atención .“

“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.“

“Great food and always good service!“

“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.“

“Good food and like the 🎤Karaoke on Saturdays 👍“

“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!❤️“

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

“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!“

“Great food and wonderful service.“

“Located within Nordstorm, Bazille is quiet place good for a date night or when you want peace after roaming in the mall. Food itself is not that great. Everything was greasy and dripping with oil/cheese. Even though we sat when the restaurant opened, our food came in 45mins after. Service is definitely slow. I would probably not go again.“

“This was our first time at Scratch. The restaurant is beautiful and the food was great. The servers were very considerate. I was with friends I hadn't seen for a while and we were chatting. The staff, always let us have more time and did not interrupt our conversation. They let us stay and didn't rush us. This was so kind. I definitely would go back.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“We celebrated our anniversary over great service and outstanding food. Everything sounds and looks amazingly good on the menu. We had the Baca Burger which was scrumptious and their BLT... well that bacon was to die for. My son, soon to be 6yrs old had the children’s cheese burger and it was perfect for a growing boys appetite. He loved it. Thank you Chef Rod and Mado for the delicious experience. The Rojas“

“Nice to hang out with my friends after a round of 9 holes. Good drinks and tasty food.“
