New American Restaurants near Hercules, CA

“I love their views and cozy feel. The menu and simple and straightforward. Their staff is kind and not overly pushy. I enjoy their breakfasts but their dinners are also good. Their Risotto (usually a special) is one of my favs! Also the view is stunning!“

“Definitely our go to spot for birthdays, special occasions, entertaining out of town friends, etc. Probably the friendliest restaurant anywhere in the East Bay and some of the best food. Back patio is fantastic year-round. My only question is how does this place not have a Michelin star at this point???? Don't tell your friends“

“We dropped into Baxter's randomly last night and we're lucky enough to be seated in the speakeasy. This was a side room of the restaurant but also a world away! The atmosphere was amazing, plush, comfortable and yet sleek with a bit of a club feel. Then the food! Not only was it beautiful in presentation but absolutely delicious. My husband had the lamb and practically licked the plate clean he loved it so much. The scallops were also amazing and not over sauced. Both came with mashed potatoes and veggies which at most restaurants aren't that great, Baxter's however made these side dishes equally fresh and appealing. Their bartender knew what he was doing and made some great martinis as well. Overall it was an excellent experience, highly recommended! Usually I'd have to go to SF to get this kind of service, food and atmosphere.“

“Great Mexican brunch place. I've been here several times, and have had the chilaquiles, blueberry pancakes, chorizo scrambled eggs, breakfast tacos, and breakfast burrito. All were exceptional. Friendly service, low key atmosphere. I will be back again -- and again.Vegetarian options: Veggie hash; pancakes; waffles“

“Omg, what an amazing and super unique dining experience! If you haven't been to Port Costa in the East Bay and are game for a little off the traditional radar adventure, Bull Valley Roadhouse is such a fun alternative to anything but the ordinary. We chose to sit outdoors because the weather was so beautiful, highly recommend! There's a beautiful cocktail/mocktail/beer/wine menu, and they also do special Sunday drinks & brunch from 11a-3p. As for the dinner menu, our party chose to really go all out in honor of a few celebrations we had! We started with the deviled eggs, beef croquettes, fresh bread and honey butter, the Gentleman's relish toast, mac & cheese, and for the grand finale...we chose the largest beef shank I've ever seen served with broccolini and risotto. Everything was shared, and the shank was a $160 plate but split between our whole group, it was not only of epic proportions and extremely photo worthy, but was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and fun. Finishing with a chocolate caramel cookie, scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream, and topped with chocolate whipped cream (so yum!), I literally was in pure culinary heaven. From the XO chili sauce on the deviled eggs (I asked for an extra side of this sauce to use for the rest of the meal), the crispiness of the croquettes and tenderness of the meat inside, the perfect runny egg atop the Gentlemen's toast, the most deliciously sweet honey butter, to the fall off the bone shank, perfectly salted risotto, broccolini crunch, and of course the creamy Mac n cheese (let it sit for a few minutes to harden)...honestly everything was so divine! From the attentive & friendly service to historical funky ambiance, this is just a spot you have to experience for yourself..can't wait to come back to try brunch on a beautiful day! Def worth the extra splurge for a bit of the weekend spontaneous urge..“

“I wish I could give more than five stars. I reached out to Tonya to see if we could get pizza making lessons with a small group of friends (because the pizza at Anaviv's Table is so good). Tonya was enthusiastic and flexible about helping me set up the event.The event was run by Darren with help from Siyoon. Darren was patient, engaging, and deeply knowledgeable. He guided us through every step of the process, giving us tips and tricks along the way, and by the end we had both a lot of pizzas to enjoy right then and plenty of dough to bring home to make more ourselves. Siyoon helped everything run smoothly so that we could all have a good time, and as a parting gift, gave us each a saffron lemon bar to take home with us.My wife and I have always enjoyed visiting Anaviv's Table in all of its incarnations. We're excited about how they continue to grow, and just so impressed by everyone on their staff.Thank you!“

“Cute restaurant with pretty dishes but the taste is a bit bland (not spicy) for Mexican food, quite oily, and it seems that the 3 dishes we ordered had some sugar or sweetener (they were a bit sweet instead of spicy, making this feel more "Americanized"). The food was good, just not what I typically prefer.“

“Went to brunch at this place a few days ago. It offers a good price, to quality/quantity ratio for breakfast and lunch. We sat outside on a partly sunny day, and they allowed us to have our dogs by the table.Mimosas were good, and I had the French toast while others in my party had the Alameda and classic eggs Benedict. Everything was very well executed if somewhat unadventurous.This is the type of place I would take my parents to who want a comfortable experience, quality and straight forward menu“

“This was my absolute favorite place in Vallejo but they recently changed their menu and I'm so sad about it! The breakfast burrito used to come with an amazing mole sauce and now it comes with a tomatillo which was good but does not compare to before. Another reason I loved this place was the amount of vegan options they have available, they still have good options- the breakfast burrito has a vegan version with tofu instead of eggs, the black bean burger, avocado tacos, and the Korean bowl. They removed the tofu sandwich, the teriyaki bowl, and the Buddha bowl. I hope to they bring all of these back, they were so good! I also wish they served breakfast longer especially on the weekends instead of cutting it off at 11am. The coffee and service are always great however! They have unique flavors like cardamom and ube. They can get pretty busy but are always friendly and accommodating. Still one of my go to spots though for sure!“

“Gotta give props to Curbside Kitchen and their flavorful Filipinx inspired burgers! Love how they are representing the PI culture and their food truck is conveniently available next to Armistice Brewery, which has great ambiance. Perfect food pairing with beer!The owners are nice and it took about 10 min for them to whip up my signature Curbside burger, which has Tocino (Filipino bacon) and it was absolutely delicious and filling. The beef patty was hot and flavorful, the brioche bun was a nice bite, the pickled veggies gave a nice acid pop to tickle the tastebuds- everything was hot and fresh and the portion was just enough. Will try their lumpia and other items when I'm back - they also do catering with an extended menu!“

“Great food, but a little pricey. The french fries are perfect, and the chili dog was a hit. They serve a decent cole slaw too, but at nearly $5 for six full forkfulls I will skip it in the future. If you value a quality dog, check this place out.“

“My husband and I were here on the first day that they opened. Unfortunately, they had to close their doors that night because that was the day the random power outages started. Ever since that day, we've been hooked with this place. They understand about vegetarians needs. They have one of the best vegetarian options ive seen for burgers. Thank you, Five Star Burger for understanding.“

“We stopped in for a light brunch at Little Louie's on our way to Pt. Reyes. I had the Yogurt Parfait which was quite large and had lots of berries and granola! The latte was good and a nice size. Cute & relaxing place that's a good stopping point just before the Richmond Bridge. We sat inside, but they also have patio dining.“

“It's our first time coming to Shelby as I received a gift card from a dear friend who highly recommended to visit Shelby. The food was sumptuous! The customer service was phenomenal. My family was so delighted after dining at Shelby. We will definitely come back for their specials. We had the the crab cake for appetizer it was perfect! The rib eye, the sole and the brisket they were all menu specials and food for the kids menu. The over all experience was extremely above our expectations. Highly recommended. They deserve some new great reviews!“

“I am sure that Lucca has many delicious dishes; I can only speak to a simple lunch I had there. My lunch companion and I were pleased to be able to sit outside in front. It was very noisy and crowded inside. I had the $12 grilled cheese sandwich and tomato bisque soup. The bowl of soup was not very warm and there wasn't much of it, but it was good. The sandwich was just laughable. It tasted like Velveeta cheese in Wonder bread. I had expected a more interesting bread and cheese. This was what I used to make for my children when they were young! It was fun to sit outside and watch the passing parade. The servers did their best. There are obviously better choices than what I had ! But I expected much more from such a highly regarded restaurant.“

“The waiter was a sweetheart, I had a great time. The margaritas and the food were great. The cashier teller was very rude, had a very nasty attitude like I was bordering her every time I went to make a bet. She would roll her eyes and try to rush.“

“this is the perfect restaurant for any meal of the day! they have a wide assortment of crepes, pastas, and sandwiches, and i love the incorporation of different cultures' flavors. you order first, then sit, but i came earlier than my friend and the waitress was so kind to let me sit first and wait! they have outside and indoor seating, and it's such a nice vibe to catch up with friends/family. the service is pretty fast as well. the philly - i absolutely loved this crepe! there was plenty of filling, and the beef was not too hard or chewy. i got it with sweet potato fries that were just okay, but i did like the side salad it came with. thai - my friend got this with the shrimp, and she thought it was a great portion and well seasoned. nothing extraordinary, but a good, filling lunch. a solid spot for a weekend outing!“
