50 Best American Restaurants near Windsor

“Extensive lunch menu offers multiple salads, sandwiches, burgers and more. Outside nice atmosphere too.“

“All around good place. Great service“

“Had an amazing brunch at the Omelette express! My daughter said "best omlette I've ever had!" I'd have to agree ! :) �“

“My pickleball friends enjoy dining at Windsor's Applebees frequently. On Friday, June 19, 2026, it was a delight to be greeted cordially and welcomed personally by the manager. A suggestion - staff said they could not turn down the music. Yikes - we 9 diners had to speak quite loudly. Hope this can be changed in the future. Finally, truly love the menu! Choices and tastiness are superb.“

“We had a great prix fixe meal of 3 courses but the also offer 5 courses. No bad selections except for the cauliflower steak. I don’t think that is worth a steak or shrimp pasta but that is my opinion. Outdoor dining is available and they have heaters by the wall of sliding windows that open up totally he outside. Awesome deserts. I had the cookie butter cheesecake. I died and went to heaven.“

“Valette is the kind of restaurant that reminds you why dining out is an experience, not just a meal. The Day Boat Scallops en Croûte is an absolute showstopper—encased in a delicate, golden pastry, it arrives at the table with a dramatic tableside pour of velvety sauce. The result? A perfect balance of buttery richness and ocean-fresh sweetness. Another amazing is the Sashimi Grade Hawaiian Ahi Poke Style. This is not your ordinary poki as it is made with 24 Month Barrel Aged Soy. The level of freshness of the fish truly comes through as the flavors blend perfectly with the crisp avocado. It is a fine line when adding a flash fried avocado to a dish that’s usually served cold. Vallete executes it perfectly! For the main course, the Dry-Aged Duck is a must-try. Crispy skin, succulent meat, and a medley of locally sourced seasonal veggies. Dessert is not an afterthought here. Strongly Suggest even if we do not have room at the end we always order the ItsNotA ‘Snickers Bar’ Deux. Service is impeccable—attentive without being intrusive, and the staff exudes genuine passion for the food and wine they serve. We love the whole team but especially Aaron-Jake-Sean-Isaac are amazing !?!?“

“The SingleThread team delivered the most exceptional hospitality we’ve ever experienced.

Every aspect of our two-night stay and dining experience exceeded expectations. My wife and I have stayed at many of the world’s top hotels and resorts, and this was the first time we’ve had a trip where every single touchpoint felt thoughtfully designed and flawlessly executed.

From the pre-arrival communication and concierge team, to the transportation arrangements, farm tour, personalized service, and countless small details throughout our stay, everything was handled with genuine warmth and care. The team made us feel less like guests and more like friends they were welcoming into their home.

The restaurant experience was equally remarkable. We’ve been fortunate to dine at many of the world’s best restaurants, and our dinner at SingleThread easily ranks among the best meals of our lives.

A special thank you to Kyle, Katina, Brianna, Alyssa, and the entire SingleThread team for creating such a memorable experience. In an industry where true hospitality is rare, SingleThread sets the standard.

We left already looking forward to our return.“

“Just an outstanding evening. Was able to meet Charlie Palmer in person (I have been a long time fan). He was so warm and welcoming..

That was followed by some over the top service by Dominik. What a pro he is. Really made for a wonderful experience.“

“We have been coming to Acorn Cafe about once a week since they opened. They have the absolute best Egg Benedict. The staff are friendly, the place is very clean, and the owner is so very nice. The outdoor patio is our favorite spot and very dog friendly.“

“Great food great atmosphere!“

“Louie’s Fine Foods in the historic district of Attalla is such a wonderful local gem.

I ordered the vegetable calzone and added fresh ricotta, which made it incredibly rich and creamy. The crust was perfectly baked and everything tasted fresh and made with care. I also sampled several of their house sauces with it — the spicy garlic oil, butter sauce, and pizza sauce — and each one brought something different to the table, but the garlic oil really stood out.

My mother ordered the Whiz cheesesteak sandwich and absolutely loved it. She said it was flavorful, hearty, and exactly what she was hoping for.

One of the best parts of the meal is the pickle bar that comes with every order. There are at least a dozen different flavors, all house-made, along with in-house sauerkraut. Everything we tried was crisp, unique, and absolutely delicious — truly something you don’t find everywhere.

I’ve been going to Louie’s since their Odenville days, and it’s been great watching them continue and grow into their Attalla historic district location. It’s the kind of place that still feels local, welcoming, and full of character.

The only thing that would make the experience better is a little bit more accommodating seating like booth space however that is apparently not available in this small space there might have been outside seating I can’t remember. But that is the only reason I give it four stars in the Atmosphere section. Booth would accommodate families better. But this is really a great place to eat. The staff was wonderfully kind and Louie himself was making the food behind the bar counter and very personable and kind. He was very interested in making sure his customers were happy and that speaks to the Wonderful mom and Pop owned businesses that you just don’t find in chain restaurants! I highly recommend this place!“

“I recommend their tasty burgers and sweet potato fries. Their homemade pickies are good too“

“I don't live in Santa Rosa any more, I haven't in ~20 years but I grew up there and EVERYONE knows Sam's! I was in town for the holidays and went there for lunch with a friend. The menu is enormous and while I was tempted by the all day breakfast, I landed on a French Dip sandwich that I had been craving. If you are anywhere in the area, stop by, you'll be glad you did!

Kid-friendliness: Family friendly restaurant - be sure to check out the staff's name tags! Reminded me of my first job working at Camp Wa-Tam. ;-)“

“First time eating here! Good, healthy breakfast. Atmosphere and restaurant very nice. Servers on point and friendly!! We will return!“

“The food is quite good, a good breakfast depending on the taste of your choice to start the day. Carlos'Country Kitchen has a wide variety of breakfasts or lunches to enjoy with family, friends, couples, or yourself. There is also a good choice of lunches to eat. In my opinion, it is important to look at the extensive menu to decide wisely which breakfast or lunch you prefer because it is a very craving choice that you want a little bit of everything due to the delicious food. I can assure you that you will see a different meal than the one you ordered, you will have a craving to try a new dish on your next visit to the place. The important thing is to taste the food and you will love it!!! The service is good and friendly!“

“The food was excellent. Fresh and delicious. The service too. I love the atmosphere. I wish you had a location in Napa!“

“great food great service, biscuits and gravy are the best ever since 1985“

“Incredibly fresh raw oysters. The view is amazing. The wait staff is kind & attentive. The manager really cares about his customers. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“As a vegetarian, I am always in search of a house made a veggie burger. This one was tasty a little spicy, but a little thin on the patty. Maybe they’re going for the Smashburger vibe, but the bun to burger ratio on this veggie patty was a bit off.

Still good, but the chocolate chip cookies were even better!“

“Staff was super friendly and polite, quiet little burger joint with quality food, the burger was better than in n out the patties are kind of thin. Krinkle cut fries were decent and they serve more than enough! Someone said this was better than sequoia burger and right down the road however I’d rate this burger a 4 compared to the full 5 star sequoia burger in comparison“

“Eddie's kitchen, the food was excellent. I had chicken alfredo and a desert to die for. It was the chef favorite dessert. Eddie Jr. was very polite and very knowledgeable about the items on the menu. I love Eddie's kitchen. I will go there again if ever in Santa Rosa.“

“Been waiting to go for months. Finally went and the food was absolutely amazing but we never where checked on. I just wanted a water and salsa and was looking the whole meal for an employee. made eye contact with our server and she ignored me 3 times, then brought our check and said you can pay whenever. not even how was the food. my husband had to get me my water as he fully finished his food while I was still trying to stall because I wanted salsa on my 25$ omelet. 😕“

“Thank you so much. we loved both the food and the service.“

“food was great and service quick ..well worth it“

“Good food and very sweet service. If latte’s were on the menu that would be even better!!!“

“This is the best picture I’ve taken of a meal anywhere. The food was sooooo good that I couldn’t take a “before” picture, only an “after”. This was grilled avocado. I didn’t even know one could grill an avocado, nor did I know that an avocado could be improved on. Now I know. 😋“

“Cleanest restaurant anywhere! Friendly owner's treat everyone like family. Croissants and scones are so good...and I love there coffee.“

“A fun spot to enjoy a casual lunch with family. It’s right next to the ice rink, so you can watch people skate while you eat, which makes it a really nice experience.

The food was great—good quality and reasonably priced. My kids loved it, and I definitely recommend for family with young kids!“

“Fantastic people who care about their customers, staff and food they provide“

“Cozy space with nicely appointed ambiance. Friendly staff. Excellent food on a varied and adventurous menu. The cheese curds are worth the trek. Great cocktails. Good happy hour menu. Lovey outside patio and well behaved dogs are welcome.“

“The cook and the drummer is an amazing, extremely professional, well organized and resourceful catering company. They catered a 100+ event, connected me with local vendors such as florist and musicians; they know how to adjust to budget constraints at the same time they have a vision to make your event as impactful and amazing as you want it to be. Also their staff is very well trained. I highly recommend working with them. Our family celebration ended up exceeding our expectations. And the food was delicious!“

“5 star review great service Madeline“

“Great food at a great price! Delicious burgers, perfectly cooked and seasoned fries, and a great selection of milkshakes! I like the option to choose thick shakes, they are way better that way (and can last the drive till I get home to eat). Knocked off a star for being in a strip mall, but it is centrally located and if more upscale, it would command a higher price, which I am trying to avoid. All the kids working there are great, from the younger managers sweeping and cleaning up, to the counter folks looking to help and making delicious shakes- props to the owners for running a well oiled machine :)“

“Good food, great staff, highly recommended. This place is our go to for several instructors at the nearby SRJC fire academy.“

“Food was great and service was fast! Very friendly staff!!“

“great food and great service 👍“
