“Casual friendly neighborhood hangout with outdoor seating.“

“Bay Area Pizza is an absolute gem! If you’re a fan of Indian flavors and love pizza, this is the spot to be. We tried the Tandoori Paneer Pizza, Tandoori Chicken Pizza, and wings, and everything was beyond delicious. The fusion of Indian spices with classic pizza ingredients is incredible. The Tandoori Paneer pizza had the perfect balance of flavors, and the Tandoori Chicken was juicy and flavorful. The wings were a great complement too, cooked to perfection.

The service was excellent, and the owner is super friendly, making us feel right at home. Highly recommend this place if you’re in the area. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Great food! My moms first time and couldn’t stop raving about the chicken adobo and the halo halo. It’s pricey but good. And the staff is very nice.“

“Had shrimp dish. Was a bit picante which was perfect. Gd price. Sis had tacos looked delicious. Recommend to anyone who craves Rice, beans. Did LOVE the decor! Like a ? party!

Dietary restrictions: Easy to ask for no cheese on beans. Plenty parking street too.“

“An absolutely exceptional hidden gem that is well worth the discovery! They have a great selection of wines and will help you find something that aligns to what you feel like having. Their food is delicious too! The flat breads are exceptionally thin and tasty! Nici and Ty have found an awesome niche! I am hoping to visit this place again!“

Dan at the bar Is the Man. He makes one hec of a Mexican Mule. Tip Him Well, he's a great man. My Favorite Place ... end of story (:“

“Stevie's Bar & Grill in San Jose isn't just a bar, it's a sanctuary for the soul and a paradise for beer enthusiasts. Each time I return to San Jose, Stevie's is my go-to spot, a reliable haven where the beer flows as freely as the good times. With a draft beer selection that's second to none, Stevie's is like a grand library of brews, each one a story waiting to be savored. The attentive staff elevates the experience, making sure your glass is never empty and your spirits are always high. The vibe here is electric yet welcoming, a perfect backdrop for the delectable snackable treats they serve. And if you're in a crunch for time, the adjacent laundromat turns a chore into a chance for relaxation – sip and savor while you spin and rinse! Stevie's is more than a bar; it's a clever twist on the traditional, a gem that makes San Jose shine a little brighter.“

“Really love this place. The bartenders are always friendly, the beer selection is great, friendly dogs are welcome, and its an overall great hangout.I understand that some reviewers are confused as to why their under 21 year old children are not allowed inside. This is because Out of the Barrel is, shockingly, a bar.“

“I always love my experience here at The Diner of Los Gatos when I come into the area to visit family. We come here every time, a tradition. The food is delicious and the staff are very friendly and it’s a fun place to bring my grandson.“

“Great downtown San Jose spot with cool bartenders“

“This is such an amazing beer experience, that I would definitely recommend this as one of the best places to grab beer if you have some time on a weekend. This is more like a taproom, and they have beer from a variety of different local breweries. You can even buy beer to go. Hi Lou recommended especially if you’re going to be doing Los Gatos for a day, we started here and ended up walking up the street to try different places.

There’s not a lot of seating, but there’s enough to accommodate most people. There’s indoor and outdoor seating. We ended up sitting outdoor and this was pretty cool because we could see all the traffic going into Los Gatos and got to people watch while drinking beer. It was a kinda nice experience.

The service was extremely friendly and super knowledgeable about all the different beer that they had to offer. There’s something for everyone here. They have ciders, IPAs, loggers, and other offerings.

Highly recommend recommended. We just came here for a beer, but I could easily see me returning and grabbing a few more.“

“Good selection of craft beers, wine, and small plates. Food was tasty and service was great! Highly recommended!“

“If in the 31-36 gates of SJC only sitdown place to eat. Clean, friendly service. Often out of burritos (only had them 1 out of 3 times I ordered.) Breakfast sandwich also good (much larger) but on sourdough not croissant, which is better in my opinion. Coffee was lukewarm.“

“They're back!
The patio has all new furniture and the inside is fully renovated in a very smart style. The beer cooler is gone so the beer selection is more limited than before, but they offer a short list of cocktails and wine. Would like to see some non-alcoholic options, which the menu is lacking.“

“We ordered Southwest Winchester BBQ for a company lunch of 60 people. It was a fantastic experience from beginning to end. This is an establishment that is there for you!! From my first phone call to our delivery and set up these people take care of their customers. Thank you so much. The food was fantastic!! BBQ ribs, Tritip, chicken, Pork and hot links, potato salad (yum!!), Mac and cheese and coleslaw with plenty of garlic bread. DELICIOUS!! I was so proud of my luncheon. Thank you!!!“

“Incredible place. Perfect spot for after golfing, or if you're just going out for lunch or dinner. The service is friendly, the drinks are great, and the food is excellent. I plan to make Garrett's Bar & Grill part of my regular restaurant rotation!“

“Great food and always good service!“

“One of the better pizza options in San Jose! We’ve ordered a couple of times and it’s been either really good or just mediocre. Convinced it has to do with the chef that night but if they get everybody up to the same quality bar, the place will be perfect.“

“Had a team dinner here and they were able to accommodate a same day reservation for a group of 9 people. We weren’t able to get a table inside since they had another big party but the weather was so nice out that we all enjoyed eating outside on the patio. We ordered a few apps to share. My favorite was the calamari. Their focaccia bread was soft and delicious. I got the chicken parm which was pretty mediocre but coworker seemed to enjoy their pasta dishes.“

“Stopped by on a lazy Saturday early afternoon. Was pretty quiet for lunch (which I like). We sat at the bar and had a pizza and some beer. There was a pretty good selection of beers that were also uploaded to the untapped app.
I like the old school vibe of the place, very 'little Italy', bar was marble and the whole place was put together very well, lots of unique and quirky items about the place.
There is a larger seating area on the other side of the bar which also had a large selection of wines adorning the wall, that section had a more moody ambience. I preferred the bar area.
Bathrooms were super clean.
I really liked the pizza which felt like it came out almost instantly after we ordered. Staff were very efficient.
After eating and drinking we were pretty stuffed. Would stop by again.

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly.“

“Cool spot! Great atmosphere!“

“Discrepancy with the prices displayed on the board and amount charged. When I brought it to the cashier’s attention he said it’s the tax, which it wasn’t. Then proceeded to shrug and say he didn’t know why it was priced differently on display and didn’t refund the difference.“

“A great experience! Cheese board was delicious. Soft pretzel with beer cheese is outstanding. Sat outside and enjoyed the cool California air. It was a super relaxed atmosphere and had a good vibe. We were visiting San Jose for a few days and picked this place on a whim for some downtime. It was pretty cool place to have a beer and chill.“

“Excellent beer selection, with a lot of locally crafted brews, and friendly service. Ordered a few tasters and the bartender was super kind to make it a full flight on the house. Nice vibe too with the outdoors patio. No parking issues despite the location (right next to SAP center).“

“Nice and easy for the kids and all the people in the family“

“There are more and more Korean BBQ restaurants, and I think they are all the same. But here is easy to parking and easy to get the table .

The space is large and the meat quality is good.
Many Ayce's barbecue meats are of poor quality. If you want good quality beef and pork belly, this is one of the restaurants with affordable prices , good service .“

“Not very often to you find authentic Mexican food with tortillas made from scratch..A local business that deserves recognition...
Since this review 6 years ago things have changed there is a new cook there that does not even come close to the gentalmen who used to cook .
The garlic shrimp I used to go there for especially .
Time to find another place again !“

“If you’ve been searching for genuine authentic Italian food, look no further than Gardinos. I believe this place is overlooked due to the bar, but the restaurant portion of the establishment is truly phenomenal. Come here if you’re looking to be fulfilled and satisfied with your meal, there has not been one time so far that I have had a bad experience with the food or attentive people that work here. I truly appreciate the environment that makes up the inside of the place, lots of awesome memorabilia of Italian portrayal. I typically go in the morning generally around when they open for business, it’s laid back and relaxing to enjoy such a delicious meal. The owner Pete is always so kind and makes sure we’re satisfied with what we have received. Jeff the waiter is also attentive, kind, and super responsive. This place is truly a hole in the wall amongst the many restaurants along the strip, make sure to come here!“

“This is some of the best Thai food I have found in the Bay Area. Their curries in particular have quite a smooth flavor - I would recommend the Panang, the Red, or the Massaman. I find it hard to tear myself away from those, but when I do, I have had an enjoyable time with both the Pad Thai and the Pad See Ew. And if one is getting takeout and wants rice to eat later, the Siam Fried Rice is great. Tomato in fried rice is not something I have seen before, but it tastes great in this! Frankly, I'm surprised I rarely have to worry about getting a spot - this place is astonishingly under-utilized for being so amazing. Probably because a lot of folks do not know about them, but they keep my vegetarian partner well fed, and she is a bit of a picky eater besides, so I would like to keep them around and in business! Finally, they are doing an amazing job of staying open and efficient during the Covid-19 crisis, implementing better order/online and cheap delivery options. Thank you so much Thai Erawan for doing a great job, and I hope more people eat there so that you can always be around! (Oh, and the heart-shaped rice-moulds just happened to be very on point the first few times I brought my partner there - so extra points in my book for that!)“

“Great local pizzeria. Long list of good beers as well. Friendly staff.“

“Yummy beer. Great customer service and friendly people. Definitely recommended.“

“great staff friendly service and tasty food“

“Good food, good people! 😁“

“I can't stand that many restaurants including this one do the following:
The server starts bringing one dish at a time!. Please train your cooks/servers. All dishes MUST be brought together to the table!
Last night my friend order Chile verde plate..rice/beans/ salad..that was the 1st dish that was brought.

Manners calls for all to wait until everyone has their plate in front to start eating. Well she waited..our food flautas and a chicken salad was brought not kidding about 5 minutes after. Her dish! Cold! She got up took it to someone at the front.
Ahh food was microwaved. Along with lettuce/tomato ??
We had a change of server and I told her how food must be served!

Wheelchair accessibility: Saw that it's easily accessible to go inside restaurant. But bathroom lacks ADA. Toilet is soo low, no hand rails, seat cover above..“

“We went for dinner on a Friday. The food was very delicious. The beans had the typical Colombian flavor. The attention was the best. They were super friendly. The only problem is the air conditioning because it was very hot that day. But overall the experience was good. Thanks to the Colombians who dare to open restaurants in the area.“

“Escuchaste bien ¡¡¡GRATIS MICHELADAS!!! En el negocio latino de hoy les traigo Pupuseria Delmy en San José. Sus pupusas son unas de las más cercanas que he probado que saben como hechas en casa, las mejores de la ciudad si me preguntas, y las micheladas son gratis de viernes a domingo, ¡siempre y cuando comas allí!“
