29 Best American Restaurants near Stinson Beach

“I spent the day in Stinson while my daughter and her friend hit the beach to enjoy the sun. I decided to stop and have lunch at the Parkside Cafe where I normally get pastries while visiting. But I decided to treat myself to the seafood risotto. Good choice! It was delicious! Also the strawberry lemonade spritzer is a very tasty and refreshing beverage. If you get lucky on a sunny day, sitting outside and enjoying your food is a wonderful experience.“

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

“Great food and service. Great presentation“

“The food, the presentation, the service.“

“I absolutely love visiting their Marin location! They always do such a fantastic job. It's one of my favorite spots to bring people when we're celebrating. The service was wonderful, and they even brought out a scoop of sorbet when we finished dinner. It was so thoughtful! I'm already looking forward to my next visit!“

“We had our lunch in red rooster brick oven and it was the best atmosphere that’s family friendly, the food was delicious and the owners were very nice. We will be visiting again and we highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Great Food Great Vibe😀“

“The steamed clams and mussels were the best I've had in years. Perfectly cooked, not overdone and small like so many places. The ribeye was delicious and the mashed potatoes that came with it were perfect 👌. Fish tacos were complex and delicious. You can tell they have an artist back there. Service was great and added to the experience ❤️. We went with a toddler and sat outside, luckily most people were inside, but they were very kind and seemed to enjoy her antics which always makes it more enjoyable for the adults.“

“My family and I recently moved into the neighborhood and stumbled across Redwood Cafe, and it has quickly become one of our favorite local spots. Although they’re only open from 6am–3pm, this is absolutely a place you can’t skip out on.

They offer a great selection of breakfast and lunch options, plus a Greek menu that gives you even more to try. One of our favorite things is that they rotate different soups almost daily—there’s always something new and comforting. The owner, Leo, and his entire staff are truly wonderful and make you feel welcome the moment you walk in.

The cafe itself is small, cozy, and full of locals who clearly love being there—you can feel the happy, community vibe while dining. Redwood Cafe consistently goes above and beyond with customer service. I often bring my mother with me, and they genuinely treat people like family.

We love this place so much that we try to stop by at least once a week. Thank you for the delicious paninis, amazing soups, and the great selection of desserts. We will absolutely continue supporting local businesses like Redwood Cafe!“

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

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

“Really awesome brunch place in the heart of Mill Valley. This restaurant is a must visit if you’re around in the north bay and hungry.
I got some loco moco and their strawberry sauce french toast special- both were really flavorful and tasty!“

“Wow this place has great food and reasonable prices, and should really hire a image consultant. It has greasy diner vibes and lacks the airy inviting beach Cafe ambiance, I think they'd make a killing with an image makeover, a few salads on the menu, and an espresso machine. For now I'm charmed by the mom and pop vibes and the good very reasonably priced food. Very hidden gem hole in the wall flavor. I'll be back and I recommend checking it out. Also understated are the beautiful cliff views.“

“Stillwater is one of those places that really captures the laid-back Fairfax vibe. It has a great mix of good food, drinks, and live music, which makes it more than just a typical bar or restaurant.
The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with a nice indoor/outdoor feel. It’s a great spot to hang out with friends or enjoy a casual date night. When there’s live music, the energy is fun but not overwhelming, and you can tell it’s a local favorite.
Food and drinks have been consistently good on my visits. The menu has solid comfort-style options, and the bar makes quality cocktails. Service has also been friendly and attentive, even when it’s busy.
If you’re in Fairfax and want a place with character, music, and a good community feel, Stillwater is definitely worth a stop.“

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

“Beautiful view the food is excellent 🥰“

“Comforts is truly a local gem. Their notorious Chinese chicken salad is absolutely amazing, and honestly, they would benefit from selling the dressing online or through DoorDash because parking in downtown San Anselmo during lunchtime can definitely be a challenge.

Beyond the salad, there are so many other delicious menu items — the mocha and coffee drinks are excellent, and even the appetizers, like the spring rolls, are consistently great.

The service is always polite, efficient, and welcoming, and the bright, relaxing atmosphere makes it such an enjoyable spot to visit.“

“Visited on a random Wednesday morning for breakfast and took a seat on one of the two seat tables against the wall. A few other patrons sat along the counter eating and drinking coffee. The place was relaxed, dim, and lovely. The server was perfectly nice and I already had my order decided so in a flash I had a perfect iced tea and my ticket was in a ticket for a corned beef hash combo.

The plate was delicious with big shreds of corned beef, properly cooked potatoes and onions, and the entire eggs Benedict alongside. On the Benedict the yolk was runny and every part of the dish was hot, seasoned, and hearty.

The price was totally fair for what I got, walking out paying something like 25 bucks total and I'd gladly return. Go here to fill up on classics a cut above.“

“The guy working there is so friendly!! These are the best wings ive ever had by the way, and you need to order them with the housemade chips or you are missing out on half of the experience. Dip your chips in the buffalo wing sauce too, it is a great combination.

TL DR : Honestly the best wings place ive been to. Mix the chips with the wings for the best experience.“

“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!!“

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

“Definitely a good place for you“

“Jose Luis took care of us! I don't know why this place doesn't have better reviews, we came into town on a motorcycle trip and didn't want to ride to dinner. He was prompt with our drinks and dinner and the food was great for a hotel restaurant. Definitely would do it again!“
