“I cannot say enough good things about Lettuce in Walnut Creek. Every single dish we have tried has been absolutely fabulous and I do not use that word lightly. The flavors are fresh and vibrant, the ingredients are clearly high quality, and you can tell the team puts real love into what they do. Whether you are going for one of their signature salads, grain bowls, or something seasonal, it always hits that perfect balance of healthy and satisfying. It is one of the few places where eating clean does not feel like you are sacrificing taste. In fact, it is the opposite. You will leave feeling nourished and spoiled. The vibe is modern and inviting, the service is warm and efficient, and everything is just beautifully presented. It has become a go to spot for our family, especially when we want something fast but genuinely delicious. Highly recommend for anyone in the Walnut Creek area or passing through. Lettuce is doing something special and it shows in every bite.“

Original Joe's Walnut Creek American • $$$
1300 S Main St, Walnut Creek

“We were fortunate enough to get a reservation for my Husband's birthday and I'm so happy we did. Having been long time San Franciscan that has been to Original Joe's in SF and Daly City, I knew we were in for a treat. What a fantastic experience it was. The decor is so beautiful and our server Kristen cold not have been more helpful and accommodating. We started with the fried Zucchini and the Lettuce wedge salad (My favorite). That would have been enough right there-the portions are very ample. We both ordered the Steak Ala Bruno with a side of their homemade ravioli and the steaks were cooked to perfection. Finished with the butter cake and I have to say it was so delicious. Thanks to Original Joes and the lovely Kristen my husband thoroughly enjoyed his birthday.“

My friend had the Pear Blosdom cocktail and the Butternut Squasy Ravioli, topped, by special request, with roasted pears! We finished with a Pear tart with ice-cream. It was a most excellent lunch. Our server was very good also. Highly recommend.“

“All I’m gonna say is don’t sleep on the marketplace Café.

This place is great for simple eats like soups, salads, and sandwiches but the spicy shrimp Pomodoro and the pepperoni and mushroom pizza were surprisingly tasty. They also have seasonal specials like birria pizza, yum!

The pizza reminded me of the pizzas that you get at an artisanal pizza joint. It was handmade and executed really well.

The blackened salmon Caesar is so delish and I order it frequently for lunch.

My server Oscar was pleasant, kind and attentive.“

“This place was the single redeeming thing in the area. I got stuck in this commercial cesspool for four and a half hours and wandered around for 3 of them trying to find decent food worth the price or some store that wasn't marked up for garbage. No dice. Finally found this place tucked away, so thankful. Had a couple drinks and chatted with old locals. Definitely support this place. In general I'll be avoiding the area but if I ever find myself there again I'll definitely go in for a drink and to get a brake from the depressing retail area outside.“
