“Local sports bars were packed everywhere to cheer for hometown heroes, the San Francisco 49'ers playing in the Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs. Arriving 4 hours early at Stadium Pub, we were lucky enough to snag the last table. The place was already packed with enthusiastic fans supporting their teams. The atmosphere was electrified with excitement, laughter, cheers and loud music! Stadium Pub is full of pictures, posters and memorabilia covering almost every square inch of the walls with the Bay Area's football, baseball, and basketball teams featuring past and present player favorites. The bar is brightly lit with neon signs and so many items that screams, "This is a local sports bar that love their teams." The entire pub has many large TV screens positioned so fans can watch the games from any location in the bar. It was so crowded, Jake the bartender, was mingling among the fans taking orders, serving the ordered drinks and food. This man is a walking computer who flawlessly remembers everyone's orders! How does he do that? Since we were there so early and we were situated by the side door on Lincoln Avenue I watched the Security Guard, Jidlamy aka "Johnny", skillfully manage and deal with guests, some of whom were a little miffed with having to show their identification before they were allowed in. I saw he used a lot of psychology and charm to elicit cooperation without having to get "tough" with the customer. I was impressed how he took care of business. They serve typical bar food.. You must try the hot dogs!! So good. The deep fried green beans were wonderful, too!! I have to go back to try other menu items. This is the first time I've been to a sports bar since moving to Walnut Creek in 2005 and it was so much fun I plan to be a regular. Oh yeah, our team lost, but it almost didn't matter because I had such a good time. If you're looking for a neighborhood gathering place, look no further than Stadium Pub for a good time with their attentive staff, good food, Patti, the welcoming owner and friendly patrons.“

Best chocolate shakesDietary restrictions: They have a Paleo Burger and a keto Burger I try them both are greatParking: You can park there for free if you have an electric car they have two public free no charge charging stationsKid-friendliness: Always lots of kids having fun and enjoying the food“
“I've only had takeout, but it's always been good. Enough options for the whole family to find something they like. I always get the Chicago Dog and usually save half for later. Very big portions!DO NOT SKIP DESSERT. I order it knowing i will have it for breakfast and a snack the next day. The apple bread pudding is one of the best things I have ever tasted in my life, and that's not hyperbole. The sweet and salty flavors come together with soft and crunchy textures and become something so delicious. I'd eat it every day!“
“We will definitely be back for more burgers and fries! I've walked by this place so many times and haven't thought about coming in. I finally decided to go on Friday, and I'm sad I waited so long!Great prices, great options for various burgers and unique options and the fries were amazing!“
“Historic and Classic Hot Dog spot.Hot dogs (with fixings), chips and drinks only. They do well what they sell.No public restroom.Parking: Parking lot and street parking available. Purple don't stay long. A lot of take-out orders.Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible.“
“Since I'm in my city, I decided to visit a new place called Mochinut. It's a mochi and a donut mixed together, this is a Korean thing and I must say the Mochinuts were good with a very interesting texture. If you're in Concord I say stop by and grab a dozen! You will not regret it!“
“Got a craving for a chili cheese dog?? Well look no further! Chars has the best Dawgs in Solano County! The Gem of the Tannery Building downtown, they offer every kinda hotdog flavor combo you could dream up! They have burgers too but for me it's all about the hotdogs and fries!Parking: Free street parking and parking at the Benicia Green.Kid-friendliness: What kid doesn't love a hotdog!“
“I know Lisa from high school, she started her business and continues 40 years later. She is the best ingredients and never skims on quality.The quality of the hot dogs, and the homemade potato salad Outshine any other competitor. She still does things the same way. Best damn hot dog I have ever had, and I've been from coast to coast Hampton North to South.“
“This place is seriously a hidden gem! I ordered a 5 piece drumstick with half and half sauce options, as well as a potato mozzarella corn dog. I thought that it was pricey at first, but when they brought the food out, I was amazed at the portions! The chicken drumsticks were HUGE, very well-seasoned, and juicy. The corn dog had an amazing cheese pull and was delicious. I was pleasantly surprised, for sure. The service was great and it only took about 5 minutes for them to prepare and hand me my hot and fresh meal. Koko is in the back of the food court, so you wouldn't even know it was there. But, if you love Korean food, I highly recommend it!“
“We don't ever remember to take pictures, but recently the food has been tasting a little different compared to before. We love going to Bens. Local. Fast service. Big portions, but it's the recent pick ups that has been tasting off.“
“Its in bay point ... the hot dogs ? ? are great and so is the Chinese food ... try it you will like ? it .... the only bad is the inside ... they need to make it look like a place to eat cause it looks like a tornado ? hit it ... horrible just horrible ?Parking: Lots of parking and the hot dogs ? ? are great ...“
“I finally went to Hillside Martinez Tap Room & Eatery in Martinez. It's right by the Amtrak Station as you enter the Martinez Marina. It's a great spot to watch the trains while you enjoy a sausage, hot link, or dog. You can enjoy one (or two) of their 12 rotating beers, a froze, or a slushy. Today, I tried the peach mango slushy made from scratch with real fruit. It was so good! They're super friendly there; the service was excellent. The remodel made my jaw drop; they did a FANTASTIC job! I opted for the Hillside dog. A hot link topped with sweet relish, onions, jalapeños, mustard, celery salt, cheese, and a dill pickle spear. It was a great dog! The combination of the hot link with pickle spear and pickled jalapeños was so good! Their rolls are excellent; they are so soft and tasty. I learned that they get their bread from a family bakery; they prefer to purchase all of their ingredients in small batches to support other small businesses. I wish they had sub sandwiches on those rolls, too; they're so good! When visiting Hillside Martinez Tap Room & Eatery, you can either build your own custom 1/4 lb. sausage dog or select one of their custom creations. I've read some negative remarks about the pricing, but I think when you factor in the premium ingredients they use, plus those other pesky costs like rent, utilities, staff, etc., they're not extreme. The build-your-own option features seven different sausage options, including hot links, bratwurst, polska kielbasa, Italian, pineapple, cajun or beef frank. Then you pick from 24 different regular topping options included in the sausage's price. The most expensive sausage was $11. The premium toppings like chili, bacon, slaw, grilled onions and peppers, melted cheese, and guacamole are $1-2 each. The specialty dogs range in price from $12-$15.50, including those premium toppings. Heck, the most expensive dog is the Pastrami Dog at $15.50, and it has a 1/4 lb. beef frank, pastrami, grilled onions, and melted cheese; this might be my next dog. When I was leaving I started chatting with the young lady who initially took my order. Turns out it was Casey, the owner. She introduced me to Preston, her partner, the chef, and the guy who did the amazing remodel! She told me they love to work with local businesses; she creates the signage for the rotating taps, and GLT Signs across the street print them, which they source from other small businesses. They use fresh ingredients; she makes all the syrups and ingredients for the slushes and froze. She also said they're looking forward to getting the outdoor space opened for outdoor dining and live music. Really nice local Martinez peeps. Current Hours: Wed-Sun 11am-8pm Menus are in the photos“
“The place is always clean an the staff are always nice. The prices def got $$ since I can recall. Which I didn’t mind but they had to have done something with the buns. Something changed. There not as they were before. An they seem to go light on those Cajun fries with the spice. Throw more on!!!! The ref fires are blah.“
“Definitely my favorite place for Chicago style hotdogs and hamburgers in Solano County. The polish with grilled onions is the best and you can take it into Cullen's Pub next door so you can have it with a beer on-tap. Seating both inside and outside with plenty of free parking on the streets of downtown Benicia. Don't forget the french fries.“
“Stopped by today after having this bookmarked for quite some time. My sister actually found this place because she loves croffles and this place caught her eye. The plaza is located in a residential area and it was lowkey deep lol. There are is a good amount of seating and two kiosks you can order from. There are more croffle options on the kiosk than advertised on their menu. We ordered ube cream croffles, creme brûlée croffles, and a Biscoff croffle. I honestly thought it was going to be mid lol. But it was actually really good! I got the creme brûlée croffle and the custard was torched perfectly with sugar. You get the crunch from the croffle itself with every bite and the toasty brûléed custard on top. My sister says that the croffle itself is very good. Everyone else liked their croffles and we would definitely return back to try their other flavors! They also offer Korean hot dogs, bingsoo, and other snacks!“
“I ordered a grilled cheese and it was delicious. The entire restaurant was clean even the bathrooms. The restaurant was a good size for the entire class to eat there. The cashier was especially patient when the students were ordering and changing their order to keep it under $15.“
“THIS BURGER IS LEGIT!! Had the bacon double cheeseburger as I do at most places because I can. Always comparing. And George's is up there for juiciness, flavor, composure, and thickness. Fantastic. And the Owner, he is an amazing person and loves what he does and loves his customers. I enjoyed spending time talking with him. What a blessed place to eat!“
