50 Best American Restaurants near Stinson Beach

“We ate here a few times during our recent stay. The seafood stew was delicious, perfectly cooked seafood that melts in your mouth. I'm a bread fanatic (what can I say) and the garlic bread shocked me it was so good. I would eat just a meal of the garlic bread if I could. The avocado pasta was also surprisingly good. Wouldn't have thought of that flavor combination but it worked well. Clam chowder was warming and a solid choice, again sort of overshadowed by my aw at the world's greatest croutons on to the soup? Whoever is baking and toasting the bread at this restaurant has a gift.

My least favorite dishes were the seafood risotto (tiny portion, barely any seafood in it), and the chicken sandwich. The chicken sandwich had some sort of seasoning in it with the consistency of sand. Like chewing chicken covered in sand. Had to scrape it off.“

“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“

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

“Such fresh good food. I made my own scramble it was beyond delicious!!!“

“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.“

“RH Rooftop Restaurant at RH Marin is a beautiful spot with great food and an amazing location, but what really stood out for us was the service. Our server, Markus Estrella, did an outstanding job making us feel comfortable and welcome from the moment we sat down. He was attentive and friendly, and honestly made this the best customer experience we've had in California. I would definitely recommend this place, not only for the food and the setting, but for the service. If you go, ask for Markus!“

“Great Food Great Vibe😀“

“By far the best fish and chips I’ve ever had. Not oily. Perfect ratio of outer crunch to fish meat (ie mostly fish). They made it with halibut today. So good.
Blackberry pie was also amazing.
Would come back to eat here“

“My husband and I came here for breakfast before our hike in Muir Woods. Husband got the huevos rancheros with house potatoes which was really good! I got the Mexican scramble with hash browns and I think this was literally the best omelette I’ve ever had. I was so full for hours afterwards (and yes, even after the hike I barely had any room for anything else). Would highly recommend!

Also, the man and lady behind the counter were also very nice!“

“love love love it here! my mom and I stayed in fairfax for a whole week and we ate here several times. food is amazing, atmosphere is amazing, staff is amazing. special shout out to our main man Ty who remembered us by name and was always super fun and friendly every time we came in. he may even play you a few songs on his guitar if you’re lucky. this place was definitely a highlight of our trip and i’ll miss going there when we leave. we could also tell that this place is a huge hit with the locals which is always nice to see. thanks for all of the great food, drinks, conversations, and songs Barefoot Cafe! until next time! -Ebony“

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

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

“Came here after a long bike ride and there was a longish line but it wasn't too bad.

Good:
- Prompt service - our food came out quickly!
- The strawberry matcha oat latte was super tasty! Wasn't too sweet either
- The korean scramble was great! Huge portion sizes and the potato was freshly crisped
- Cute interior, but it's pretty small inside

Bad:
- The french toast special here is way too sweet it made me a bit nauseous at the end
- Pretty expensive, about $38pp for 2 entrees and a drink

Overall this was a solid brunch spot and super full by the end.“

“I'm biased. My nephew's girlfriend is the manager here so I know the place is terrific😄 that being said, the duck fat secret herb seasoned fries are to die for. The rotating menu offered a killer Baja fish taco which was fabulous. I lived on the beach in Baja for 2 years so I know my tacos😋 The cocktails are professional. They have a great Happy Hour for food too! Good background music but not too loud for conversation.“

“Good value. Nice, tasty, simple breakfast staples, which seemed hard to find in this area. We got four of the Bountiful Breakfasts, which has the options everyone in my family wanted. Very nice service. We just wanted a nice simple breakfast for the family on vacation, and we definitely found it!“

“I've been eating at this establishment for over 25 years. It is a staple of Marin. Excellent food and service. The Chicken Fried Steak is the best you'll find anywhere. There may be a place that does it better, but I haven't found it in all of my travels including 7 states.“

“Had a fabulous solo dining experience at Buckeye. Black cod on English pea risotto. 😋“

“Food was great, local and fresh, and it was served faster than I expected, because it was pretty busy and during Brunch. Great atmosphere, nice and warm in the summer mid morning sun, not too disturbed from the traffic and noise, and the service was good! Definitely coming back again!“

“Great breakfast (generous serving but not in a bad way), delicious food, very good service (fast, polite, caring), everything tasted fresh. Places like this should be preserved and patronized so they don’t get overrun by chain restaurants.“

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

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

“We had the most delicious pastas and wine! The service was fantastic as well. We highly recommend TKT for your next night out!! Even our toddler was impressed!“

“Contrary to what people say about the food, it’s good and fresh. From my experience, people just don’t know how to look and read the menu. Glad this is a smaller shop so they have more autonomy to deal with people’s lack of reading skills. Some people are just never please. Perfect place to get food with a group of 4 too.“

“Good service and good food“

“Beautiful view the food is excellent 🥰“

“"5/5 stars! Picco is hands down the best Italian spot in town! The pasta dishes are cooked to perfection, and the pizzas are crispy and flavorful. The service is top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff. Cozy atmosphere and great prices. Highly recommend the Devinci pizza and Brownie for dessert. We'll be back!"“

“Once again, I had a wonderful experience shopping at Sweetwater. Many thanks to Sales Engineer Mitch Dazey who did a great job. I'm glad that he was able to get a Korean made instrument. Competitive pricing, good discounts, excellent customer service, items thoroughly and carefully packed. I will definitively recommend anyone to shop at Sweetwater.“

“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!“

“I'm from out of town. our team has been here since December 2022 .we have traveled all over san Francisco and surrounding cities within eating and trying new food's. i will have to say i have found the best wings in san Francisco. tried all three flavors and the were cooked just right with awesome sauce. i definitely recommend stopping there. james swanger from liberty SC“

“Definitely a good place for you“

“Wednesday Taco night the 💣.“

“It was a good experience great customer service. We had ordered the unlimited fish on Friday. I really didn’t like it. It really wasn’t seasoned that well but everything else was really OK. I will be back again because of the customer service.“

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

“It was an amazingly flavourful brunch that my husband I shared for his birthday. We have both visited places in Los Angeles as well as Vancouver, Canada and this place is 2nd to none! A must check out! We will be back David and the crew! Cheers Aaryan and Nadya“

“There’s a reason this bar just won ‘Best Bar in Marin.’ Small-town charm, incredible live music scene, tasty drinks, fantastic bartenders, some rowdy locals who like to have a good time, and a fun stop for folks passing through. LGBT friendly. This is a very loving place. Come for a drink & stay a while. This bar is a social hub for the valley, and the new owner has done a nice job keeping the spirit of the Paper Mill alive.“

“Nice location, excellent staff!“

“This restaurant is not only very nice but also is conveniently located. I recommend the salmon which is nice, affordable and tasty. I enjoyed eating the turkey and avocado club. When I was last there, it wasn’t crowded rather quite and the service was great. The decor is comfy and classy. Go there to eat good quality food such as burgers, salad, sandwiches, and others.“

“Very oceanside good burger mmmmm“

“Great food & beer! Excellent customer service, clean, friendly.“

“I am from Kansas City Missouri. We like to eat at places we dont have at home. Habit burger was the second place we chose and we should have chosen habit burger first. The food was amazing. The fries were perfectly salted. The employees were really helpful since we are from out of state.“

“There are no words to describe such a location. I would say it was peak, legendary even- but those feeble words would not do it justice. To be fair I probably have a bias from 3 hours of jetlag and a lack of anything to eat it prior, but- its not the food. Its the man. Aziz, oh Aziz. If there was an embodiment of pure soul this man would fill this roll. From his kindness to his service, he has to be the nicest bartender I've ever encountered. The description I've given does little to even scratch the ray of sunshine that is his personality. I cant for the life of me see the drag of darkness in his presence... and food.“

“Glad to have found this restaurant. Since moving to San Rafael, I’ve been missing and looking for authentic Mexican food. The other Mexican restaurants I’ve tried in San Rafael don’t compare to this restaurant. Fast and friendly service. Clean interior with cheerful decoration and atmosphere. Finally, the food is well seasoned and flavorful. Definitely hits the spot!“

“Best pancakes in Marin. Got to be one of the inspirations for American Graffiti, it is so classic.“

“Great customer service! My favorite server is Jose at the San Rafael store !! However AC was broken so it was pretty warm inside being it was a super hot day !“
