41 Best American Restaurants near Stinson Beach

“This is a wonderful spot for a bite on a beach day. Good menu, and wines by the glass. Outdoor seating is very popular so may be a wait especially at weekends. Next door is a popular ice cream stall and burgers if you can’t wait for a table.“

“Best fish and chips I’ve had in a long time. Really cute place to stop. Would definitely recommend it!“

“The food, the presentation, the service.“

“Just had a fantastic breakfast! The food was delicious, and everything came out quickly. definitely a spot I'd recommend for a morning meal! Anita was a wonderful server, quick with service and checked in to top off glasses, taking empty plates and ask if we needed anything.
She was the highlight of our visit. Im excited to come back soon!“

“This is our “go to” place in Sausalito for my wife and I so we decided to take our visitors from Canada here. Everything was going well until my order, the bone in veal chop special, arrived more than 5 minutes later than everyone else's main course. The issue is that when my order arrived, there was a barely an apology or any offers to adjust our bill. Sad.“

“Our service was amazing. The food was very good and the atmosphere was really nice. We will definitely be back.“

“Beautiful restaurant! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the service is friendly and attentive, and everything is extremely clean. A memorable experience we’ll always appreciate!“

“This fairy-tale-like restaurant in Mill Valley truly surprised us with how delicious the food was. We went with our kids and ordered a variety of dishes—especially the sizzling stone pot bibimbap and the fried chicken, which were absolutely outstanding. Not only was the food delicious, but the plating was beautiful as well, making the whole meal a delight for both kids and adults. It was a perfect brunch experience, and we’ll definitely be coming back every time we’re in Mill Valley.“

“This place is wonderful! The service was incredibly warm and welcoming — it made me want to come back again (which I definitely will soon!). The fish and chips were absolutely amazing — fresh, crispy, and full of flavor. I highly recommend this spot!“

“Watershed Chef Kyle Swain is the best in Mill Valley!“

“The food is great. My only complaint is the noise level. It is very difficult to have a conversation with your guests--especially if you are wearing a hearing aid (they are not perfect) or your companions are soft of voice. I do know that there is a system a restaurant can install (we experienced this in an SF restaurant) that can lower the noise level in the restaurant at large in favor of each table's level. There are also ceiling materials that can dampen ambient sound.“

“Little slice of life and good food! All the food is home-made and uses good products. You will get a lot!! If you are a Hispter, stay clear, this may be too real for you!

Parking: Restaurant is in an industrial area....so depends on business I guess.

Kid-friendliness: we had a three year old with us. She was fine. The restaurant is cafeteria style.“

“The fish and chips are delicious!! Im a Brit so eaten a lot of them and must say that these were definitely in the top 3! Fish was super fresh and the batter nice and light.
I also had the huevos rancheros for breakfast on a different day and they were also great, nice blue corn tortillas!
Has a lovely back patio or you can sit out front and people watch. Dog friendly ?‍
Very friendly servers and chill relaxed vibe.“

“Great Food Great Vibe😀“

“We had friends coming to visit from Arizona and wanted to take them somewhere special for dinner. We heard about the newly reopened Paseo in Mill Valley and decided to try it. We were welcomed by the friendly manager Kevin as we entered. After giving us a tour we were seated in the main dining room by a cozy fireplace. We ordered cocktails along with a charcuterie board and roasted Brussels sprouts. At the recommendation of our knowledgeable waiter Will, my sister and I ordered the beet salad. One of our guests had the Market Green Salad and another raved about her Potato Leek Soup. Wanting to try different entrees we ordered California Halibut, Braised Osso Busco, Mary's Chicken Breast, Rib Eye Steak, and Roasted Duck Breast with orange glaze. The taste and presentation exceeded our expectations. As we were enjoying coffee along with Chocolate Indulgence, a (layered torte) and a Peanut Crunch Bar, Chef Branden approached our table to see how we enjoyed our meal. We all told him how much we enjoyed the food, his beautiful presentation, and the smiling staff. We had a great five star experience and will definitely be back!“

“On 4th Street in Downtown San Rafael is a narrow building that’s home to a great breakfast place. We visited Lundy’s Home Cooking on a Saturday morning and were seated right away. There are a couple tables in the front window, several tables for 2 along the side wall and counter seats overlooking the grill.

I ordered the Omelette with Chicken Apple Sausage and Cheese which was served with potatoes and choice of toast; my wife ordered their Eggs Benedict, also served with potatoes and toast. ass

Service was prompt and friendly and the food was delicious. In my omelette, the sausage (and cheese) was plentiful - and the potatoes were just as I like them, slightly crunch. My wife ordered their traditional Eggs Benedict. Now I know she is a Benedict aficionado and particular about the dish - she said it was very tasty!

They have quite an extensive breakfast menu - with some unique choices like Fajita Omelette, Irish Breakfast, and a Chorizo Scramble. We’d happily return for a breakfast in the future.“

“Place was a little difficult to find. Google maps a little confused. But stay strong it will be well forth it. Great service from owner & her daughter Breanna & Vicente & the cooks & staff. Excellent food. Very delicious. Great diner with beautiful old school counter. Highly recommended!!“

“Best dining experience I’ve had since I moved here. Great food, great service, great atmosphere. My new favorite restaurant 💚💚💚“

“Oooooh, that Chinese tofu salad. I've eaten quite a few things from here, but that's my favorite. My husband and I picked up a ton of food from here on our way to Truckee cause we knew the cabin would have limited food around. Everything we ate was awesome! We weren't hungry, nor did we suffer with subpar fast food or junk. Love this place.“

“I always have a great time, great drinks and great food at Stillwater but today I got their pork chops and holy shit was this dish unreal. The 2 thinly sliced and perfectly bone-in grilled pork chops were accompanied by delicious mashed/pureed turnips (I think), broccolini and delicious grilled pears. Expertly done and super seasonal. I devoured it! Thanks, Chefs and Stillwater team. This was an excellent fall evening meal. Xoxo“

“Definitely a good place for you“

“delicious food and drink at the happy hour. perfect service and nice atmosphere.“

“Beautiful view the food is excellent 🥰“

“So great that haven't closed this restaurant. Great service always, great atmosphere always. Food mostly always satisfying and price also these days not horrible! Please go eat here so the don't close it! Where else is there to go anymore? NO WHERE“

“I'm not an innout fanatic. I like them just fine. Is Habit Burger good? Yes. Love the fact that I can add bacon and all the sauces. I alsoLove the pepper bar. But in terms of price? In-N-Out wins. So value wise In-N-Out wins in my opinion.“

“Order the chicken club and a side of cole slaw - it’s enough for two… and the most amazing sandwich I’ve had in awhile! Bacon, avocado, cheese, onion, lettuce etc… chicken was moist and tender… and a bargain to boot… there were Dominican Univ students there… and they’re good at finding the bargains on 4th st…
This place looks a little dodgy from sidewalk looking in… but don’t let that fool you… it’s main sign is saying fish and chips - I’ll try that the next time…



Parking: Not always nearby“

“I was surprised and pleased at the quality of my food. I had a New York strip and this being a hotel restaurant generally they are not the best you have ever had. My steak came prepared absolutely perfectly and flavorful my meal was very enjoyable and the service was very good.“

“Fantastic coffee, food, and fresh juices. Lovely customer service!“

“Best crepes you'll find in Marin County. If you find yourself in Santa Rosa, you can also dine at The Crepevine. My most favorite crepe is the Tuscany.“

“I have eaten at Left Bank Brasserie many times over the years, as my son lives in Larkspur. Have also celebrated several milestone birthdays there. The food has always been first rate, and the service impeccable!“

“We had brunch here on Saturday. The waffles are absolutely delicious! The eggs benedict was fantastic too. I should have taken pictures. I have been coming to this Nordstrom since it was built in the 80's. I have never eaten here. This place is awesome and I will be back as the menu looks fantastic.“

“food is top notch and the bar always manages to overcome being buried!!“
