50 Best American Restaurants near Port Costa

“Such a cool treasure!The location is a historical neighborhood with a view of San Pablo Bay and train line.Staff were fun, engaging and welcoming.Wish we had 3 more hours to take in all the tchotchkes and historical pieces.The Warehouse is a rare and special gem.“

“The food here is always amazing, I have been eating here for years and I have never been disappointed. Really cool old town with a lot of history. The view is amazing from the rear parking lot. Across the water you can see Benicia, at night is amazing lights to look at“

“What used to be a Mexican restaurant called “Judy’s Place’ in town to the locals couple years back now is called ‘Crockett Cocina’. This place and food is outstanding. I was browsing yelp and saw this on my radar. I had to check it out in person to see based on their ratings. I arrived here with my dad for an early dinner date. Street parking is available. Though the space is small, the place is clean. They provide indoor and outdoor seating. This is a family owned restaurant from the looks and how they act around their customers. I give my props to the chefs, they sure know how to cook it up haha! The pasta was filling and the bread that came with it was soft & crispy. The HouseMade Cioppino with the bread to dip in was to die for lol. And the churros was quite a lot but homemade makes it special! Churros we’re soft and crunchy, came with chocolate & caramel syrup, strawberry, and vanilla ice cream. Overall, the food was great, I’m sure I’ll be back for another visit!“

“Super generous sandwiches, high quality ingredients, very informal atmosphere. For what it is, a small sandwich bar, this place is great! I got the Italian one trip and a grilled sandwich on another trip. Both were yummy and satisfying. The Italian was a bit wet and drippy towards the end tho. People behind the counter are super nice. Seems like the kind of place people go out of their was to visit. You do get too much to eat in a single sitting tho, consider sharing a sandwich or planning on taking some home, as they are super generous!! 4 stars. Yay!!“

“best sushi and cheap!!! will come again!!!“

“I recommend the Urban plates restaurant for everyone who wants to get a delicious food with an excellent service in a perfect atmosphere.They have nice people working there.Adriana is always the best, she has a very nice costumer service and she is a hard worker, adding Ana, Kaitlin and Jeared too.Thank you for your service“

“Great service and wonderful servers with great attitude. I had the grilled flat iron steak with mushrooms, greens, and potato gratin cooked medium and I highly recommend it! The steak was real tender and goes well with the potatoes and vegetables.Parking: Street parking is on meter and free after 6pm“

“Solid brunch spot. Food was good, huge portions, and the option for bottomless mimosas. They have some good vegetarian options including an impossible patty. No reservations allowed, but you add your name to the check in list. Took about 30 minutes to get seated for a group of 4 (we arrived at 11am and were seated just after 11:30). We were seated in an outdoor tent that was a bit hot from the sun (no ventilation). Friendly servers and they were definitely busy. Were prompt on refilling mimosas though! Would return.Vegetarian options: Avocado salad was yummy. They also have egg and impossible pattysParking: Plenty of parking“

“Ok so first, the food was absolutely DELICIOUS, AMAZING, TERRIFIC, and so much more. Second, once you have ordered your food it will come in 15 or less minutes! Third, once you come into the restaurant, (you may have to wait in a line) the hostess will ask you for your name and phone number, if you want to be seated outside or inside, and how long the wait time is (about 20 minutes). Lastly, you should definitely consider coming to Jack's if you're feeling hungry! (They serve breakfast until 2:00pm and lunch all day.) PS you HAVE to try the Mac and cheese!Vegetarian options: You could get the omelet (which is very good) if you are looking for something that is for vegetarians.Kid-friendliness: The hostess would ask you if you want a kid(s) menus. Plenty of options on the kids menu.“

“Enjoyed another delicious and relaxing evening with the folks at Bella Siena. Service was excellent, food was delicious as were the drinks. The calamari was our starter with, of course, their yummy bread and carmelized onion dipping oil and we moved on to incredible entree's.“

“My family and I absolutely love this place! The staff is so nice! They make you feel right at home. Some of our favorites have to be the Santa Fe skillet, chocolate chip pancakes (of course!), French toast, and the Cobb salad! Everything is so reasonably priced and comes in LARGE portions! So come hungry or get ready to ask for a to-go box!“

“We found this place through a friend and we love it, the lady I care for loves good food, this is our go to place for yummy and great portions of food! Food is delicious, place is so cute, servers are attentive and kind, price is reasonable and the owner Tony is very nice and and makes you feel so welcome! If you want some good hearty food you won't be disappointed!“

“Saturday review, so beignets available! The best beignets I've had since I moved to California, but still not quite as good as New Orleans.The Workshop is basically a takeout window, but there are a couple of outside tables, so hopefully you can sit and have your coffee and beignets popping hot.“

“This hidden gem was delightful! Everything was delicious, from the lemon and cucumber flavored spa water to the crème brûlée.“

“Ok if I could give 6 stars I would!! It was a Saturday so brunch was in full effect and we had to wait around 30 minutes. It was worth the wait. I had Biscuit and Brisket (no photos too busy enjoying the food) and a margarita. Seriously everything was delicious!! So flavorful. Service was great. They sat us at a larger table so we wouldn't have to wait longer and our server was attentive and fast. We're definitely going back for dinner. And I want to check out their wine spot in Walnut Creek. Oh they have seating outside with heat lamps and inside too. It's family owned and you get a sense of pride from everyone! Go.Parking: The food is good and the folks who know are coming so a full parking lot tells you something. We find parking right across the street.“

“Went to try Valentina's for lunch with a friend. Love the open kitchen. Clean. Very attentive staff. Food came out quickly. Very tasty. Highlight of the meal for me was the brioche bread pudding. Looking forward to returning for brunch.“

“We had amazing service on our first visit to Crescent Bistro. The atmosphere was lovely and relaxing without feeling intimidating or overly swanky -- just really welcoming. Our waitress was a joy and she was so helpful with finding the best things on the menu and helping me decide. I took her advice about the beet salad and the navy bean, kale and sausage soup. The soup was fantastic. And I don't know when or if I've enjoyed a salad so much. My partner and I shared a plate of deviled eggs made with cured salmon and a dill and crème' fresh drizzle. Wow! It was a little too spicy hot for me, but I'm a wimp with hot spice. In my conversation with the waitress, I mentioned it was my birthday and she brought out a special treat of a gooey brownie with caramel sauce and toasted marshmallow fluff! It was only half a brownie, but it was so gooey and rich that I couldn't finish and had to bring half of it home. I was thankful that there was no birthday song to go along with it -- Whew! My partner got the butternut squash risotto with grilled shrimp on top. It was creamy and delicious. He also ordered an amazing looking Mocha in a good sized mug. I don't drink coffee, but it looked delicious. Even though we arrived 30 minutes before closing, our kind waitress kept reminding us that there was no rush and we could take our time. That was a nice treat to feel relaxed and able to enjoy the meal fully. This restaurant was not busy when we went, which was great, but I hope everyone discovers it so it doesn't shut down like the wonderful Pasta Pomodoro before. Please eat here. I want this place to stay open! There are so few restaurants left that have a warm, inviting atmosphere where you don't feel robbed by the time you pay your bill! Love this place. I'll keep coming back. Oh, by the way, our waitress told us that brunch on Saturday and Sunday goes until 4pm and it's fantastic. Can't wait to try it!“

“Every time we eat at Michael Warring, he has prepared something that looks strange on the menu, but is amazing to eat.“

“Me and a few friends went out 'bar hopping' - I'm sober personally - I had asked for a cup of coffee truly not expecting much at all.I shared with my best friend beside me and we talked about it all night. I don't say this lightly ~It was the best cup of coffee I have ever had~“

“We got the cheese bread appetizer which was amazing. Main course we got the skillet combo( mussels, shrimp & crab) the season butter was on point and the seafood was delicious. We got the cheesecake for dessert and you can tell the whipped cream is homemade. Overall great food & service. Parking was a bit hectic but probably due to Mother’s Day. We didn’t have to wait since we made reservations. Highly recommend making reservations in advance to avoid the wait“

“This little joint, honestly reminds me of SoCal in the summer just wanting a charbroil burger. If you constantly go down to Anaheim or Santa Ana area, you know what I mean when I say this. There's not that many places like this in Northern California because everyone's at the main burger corporation spots. The service here was spot on and they were super patient with us on what we wanted, only because it was our first time there. I got the mushroom burger with all the basic toppings on it and I will say, that they cooked this burger exactly how I would eat it, if I were to make it at home. You do have to order the fries and onion rings on the side, but they do offer specials that come with fries or onion rings, but I wanted to actually try one of the burgers on the menu and it did not disappoint at all. I honestly murdered my burger within seconds once I took a bite - LOL. Yes call me hungry! Fries were cooked perfectly and the onion rings come with ranch. No need to ask, because they already have it with it - LOL. Those that love eating ranch with everything knows what I mean. Service is a 10, food is a 10 and the vibe is a 10! Will be making another round here no doubt.“

“My co-grandma bestie and I lunched at Yard House, had a wonderful server (Stephanie?)We ordered Brussels sprouts and chicken tenders to split halvsies.Delicious!!The computer at the table was for Stephanie to place the order, and she explained how to use it to pay when we were ready•We got the tab to split the check and each paid ours.“

“This place has an amazing menu, served in record time by the friendliest staff. We have been going here for years and have never left less than satisfied. Their bad days are better than good days for most placesKid-friendliness: My kids love this place.“

“First off let me just this place is amazing! The staff is absolutely wonderful and just puts you in such a great mood! Jason the owner is a straight up a down to earth guy and you can really tell he loves what he does! The food cannot get any better! I wake up CRAVING this place! Such great generous portions with great prices! The vibe is immaculate here. The music is always making you dance in your booth and the servers are always a great company, they are so funny and just so caring! Mimosas: hit up your girl Katie for her secret menu! This girl can whip up almost anything you can think of when it comes to the mimosas! Overall this place will be my new favorite breakfast spot and I will be here for as long as I can!“

“So happy to find a delicious and friendly restaurant that doesn’t close in the afternoon in my neighborhood. We have been there several times in the past couple months and I’m still trying new things on the menu. My husband tried the ribs which he said were the best he’s ever had and half the serving went home with him. It was huge! Desserts are exceptional especially the flan. I’m still exploring their vegetarian options but so far my favorite is their version of chili relleno. Come and relax and enjoy the food and friendly atmosphere!“

“The customer service is EXCELLENT! The food is so goid, especially the biscuits and gravy! Highly recommend this place to eat breakfast.“

“Just discovered this place. The foos was great and so was the service“

“First time here, the food is great and the menu is a good variety of both breakfast and lunch. The place is a little crowded sometimes, waited a while for seating and service, but the food is good and seems to be a good value. I don't like to pay over $20 for a breakfast plate, here you can do for $12 or $15 so thats good with me.“

“My mom took my there to Breakfast the other morning neither of us ever had Fried Chicken and Waffles…. So that’s what we ordered. It was very good and fresh, we will definitely be going back again… Thanks for the great and friendly service too….“

“The best good and waitress name Itzelena her service was very efficient and friendly five starts“

“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 have been here twice and have ordered to go multiple times. The Ube pancakes are one of my favorite items in the menu but honestly you can't go wrong. The portions of the food don't change even if you're ordering to go. If you're in the area, you should check out this restaurant.“

“Fui por primera vez y probé los Chicken Waffles muy ricos el sabor es de cocina en casa muy delicioso.“

“Worth the walk on a rainy day! I had the Pastrami on marbled rye. It was delicious and huge! Half the sandwich filled me up. I also was treated to a sample of fresh made potato chips- perfectly crisp. The staff was friendly and quick on the order. I recommend highly.“

“We mainly come here for their $1 Taco Tuesdays, which are excellent and better than a lot of the restaurant tacos which cost a lot more. The staff is always pleasant and helpful, and if you're not a beer drinker soft drink or coffee refills are plentiful. One semi-negative is that I don't think their Thursday special "Big Max" is as good as the Mickey D's variety. Haven't tried their weekend breakfast yet but on the menu it looks good.“

“I’m a local and I’ve been here several times in the weeks since it opened, and I've enjoyed the experience each time. I’ve had two different sandwiches for lunch — the Pesto and the Chipotle, both of them fresh and tasty — and a good sesame bagel with cream cheese for breakfast (to go). The place itself is light and spacious, the staff friendly and helpful, and parking looks really easy (but I walked). Highly recommended!“

“This place is amazing. If you’re in the area check them out. My favorites are the spicy chicken sandwich and the Birria Quesadilla“

“Located in a little plaza but slightly hidden. Took us a sec to find because there isn't a large sign that says "Sherry's Kitchen" - it's tucked in an event center. Has its own parking lot with a lot of space. Inside is a little outdated but clean, seems very fitting. Staff is friendly, attentive and welcoming. Salmon lox - good and good portion of smoked salmon. I liked that they served the capers and onions on the side. I'm being picky but would have preferred the onions to be cut in circles vs chopped. The potato salad was ok, served warm which was a little odd, also wasn't a fan of the bell peppers in it 7/10 Corned beef hash - tasty, not too salty and the meat wasn't too dry. Nothing that stood out. 6/10 Blueberry pancake - this was a highlight. Not too sweet, i think it had fresh blueberries and had slightly crispy edges. 10/10 Overall, would recommend trying but nothing that I feel the need to go again.“

“My husband had fish and chips which he liked very much. The fish was crispy and hot. I had a fish sandwich. The fish was hot and crispy. The sandwich came with lettuce, tomatoes and pickle. I ordered before I arrived and the food was ready a few minutes after I arrived. The two gentlemen behind the counter were friendly and professional.“

“The place is nice.. has great food..“

“The owner is one amazing man! The epitome of customer service and bar tending. All the bar tenders were so knowledgeable as well as friendly. Despite having such a big party right at happy hour he made us feel seen and heard, was able to tend to every other party, and gave us a great experience. This will 100% be our go to bar since we’re local and hopefully we have the pleasure of crossing their paths again! If you have a choice come here and get a pickle martini!“

“Very good drinks & the chicken wings so tasty also the waitress very friendly“

“Good people, good food, easy going place ... what's not to like about it?“

“Very good place to eat, very tasty food and full of flavor. Amazing Owners and very courteous staff. Been coming here for about 7 years now on and off, and what else can i say? except, come try the food. Thank you for making very delicious food.RespectfullyDenis Ramirez“

“Nice for the price. A good place to take a date on a moderate budget somewhere with a classy atmosphere and delicious, lovely dishes. Mostly seafood, but they did have a few non-seafood dishes. My only complaint was that my ice tea came pre-sweetened, but as I understand, that was a back-up powdered mix. They did replace it with an alternate unsweetened drink when I requested it.“

“Delicious food. Great to find lovely outdoor seating.“

“This is one of my husband and mine's favorite breakfast restaurants. It is cozy, the staff is friendly and treat you like family, and the food is absolutely wonderful. The portion sizes are huge, and it's always tasty. Better than homemade. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Our first time at Sal's and we were definitely happy and satisfied with the service and the food was great. The kids finished everything on their plates, and so did my boyfriend and myself. We definitely will comeback and recommend trying this cute little place in Martinez.“

“Good food. The younger girl spilled the smoothie all over the cup. Didn’t wipe it. And then tried to have me carry it. I almost ruined my outfit. I won’t be back for a while. Girl with the ponytail with highlights. Then they forget my raspberry bar. And when I TURN AROUND ALMOST 15 MINS AWAY TO GET IT, the young boy says “Did you forget your bar?” Like no. YOU guys forgot it. Never handed it to me. Nothing. They need to do better. Seriously.“

“So good, I love their burgers. I usually get them with jalapeño. You can order using the kiosk on the front counter, so you can order as soon as you're ready. The staff is very nice and helpful. I do not feel like a burden asking for cups or sauces. I wish the burgers were a little less greasy, but they are delicious nonetheless! My mom loves the chocolate dipped cone.“
