Restaurants in Sonora

“First of all the staff is top notch. Friendly and fast service. The pork belly eggs Benny was magically delicious. The pork melted like butter, and the hollandaise sauce was fabulous. I would drive the 18 hours from Canada just to eat here again. thank you for the great experience.”

“At Yiani’s you will get a wonderful Greek experience. They have beautiful setting that’s clean and the staff is very attentive and welcoming. The food is so flavorful and fresh. It’s always consistent and always an enjoyable experience. You feel the love at Yiani’s and they have something for everyone even vegan options.”

“Everything is excellent but I especially love the French tip sandwich! Sandwiches and the soups are wonderful”

“Mikes Pizza is really good! There are many options for the non pizza lovers, and the service is amazing! Mike's is a must stop!”

“We stopped by Indigeny this weekend, for a quick picnic and a hike on their trail. I have been here multiple times over the year but never done any of their trails. My boyfriend & I did a little over a mile on the trail. We saw part of their disc golf course as well as their gnome garden.
The trail is nice and well maintained, an easier trail. The staff is always friendly and I do enjoy the cider.
Their tasting costs $10 and you can sample all the flavors they have on tap currently; as well as $5 to sample the spirits. This is an indoor outdoor establishment; all ages are welcome & pet friendly!
Keep in mind there are quite a few Barn cats on property incase you have a reactive animal.
I look forward to attending their upcoming Spring Festival.”

“Excellent service, excellent cooking and best quality ingredients. An exceptional find in Sonora”

“We absolutely love Yoshoku! We have tried several ramen bowls and love all of them. The online ordering system is easy to navigate and well designed. I would suggest for anyone new to Yoshoku if you have any questions about the spice level, please call them. For me, I like a little spice so when given the option I choose G2. So far we had the Spicy Miso, Spicy Tomkatsu, the Tan Tan, Kango, and the Light Garlic. This is our new Hot Spot in Sonora!✌️❤️”

“Great local beer and nice crew.”

“First time here, and it was absolutely incredible. The service was top-notch—every waiter was so sweet and genuinely fun to chat with. They truly made us feel like family. The sushi was outstanding as well. It’s so hard to find truly specialty sushi, and this place completely nailed it. I can’t wait to come back!”

“I was fortunate to teach several yoga classes and workshops at the beautiful and elegant Mount Brow Vineyards. It was a joy working with Jessica and Brandon and will keep them in mind for holding future events. Thanks so much!! -Kim Brodie”

“Our breakfast was amazing All was great tasting and waitress made us feel at home 😋👍”

“On a day trip down 49 from Sutter Creek we stumbled into Goodness Cafe mostly because we could bring our dog to the outside dinning area. What a fabulous place. So many choices. This is a delightful place with a wonderful staff. Our sandwiches were delicious. Can’t wait to try their empanadas. This is a treasure in Sonora. We will be back. Mike and Elizabeth and Annie the Border Collie!”

“Love the sourdough bread! So many delicious flavors and new ones all the time! Fresh daily. Super family run bakery.”

“Been going there since 2018.”

“It was my first time to eat at the Armory but it won’t be my last. The food was great at a very reasonable price and I can’t believe how big this restaurant is. The size is deceiving from the road but once you get inside it will impress you.”

“Vonnie made our wedding cake and it was so delicious. We don’t normally go for strawberry flavored cakes but it was hands down the best cake I’ve ever tasted. She did a beautiful job incorporating our wedding flowers as well. It was so pretty!”

“Ate here for the first time last night. My husband and I arrived just after they opened at 3:00 with another couple. This was the first time the four of us had dined here. We were not disappointed, as we heard good things about this place. Great service at the fall bar when my husband arrived before our friends, and had a couple of drinks as we waited. We were pleasantly chatted up with the bartender and we felt very welcome. The humble atmosphere was "old school", as far as lay-out and decor. As a Boomer, this place reminded me of family restaurants we had grown up with during my growing-up years in the 60's and 70's that we loved dining at. We were all seated in a deep, comfy booth. The dining room was beginning to fill up quickly by 4pm, and you'll notice the dining room is very "tight" and tables close together, so you must be somewhat agile to weave through tight spaces. The staff is plentiful and they are bustling. We each chose from the Early Bird menu (selected dishes at the deep discount of two meals for $29.99 from 3:00-6:00pm) which starts out with good bread and fondue, delicious soup or salad; the entrees are flavorful and well prepared, desserts included. Service was prompt, attentive and friendly. By 5:00 this dining room was full and because it is family oriented and tables closely spaced, be prepared for a noisy background, but somehow this brings a happy sound to add to the mix. Good date-place, but light conversation probably should be the topics of choice. My hearing is keen, but here, deep meaningful conversation should wait until you get back into the car. Bathroom facilities should probably get an update. But, other than that, great meals, friendly service, lots of attentive staff.”

“amazing baked goods! and she gives a lil rewards card to regulars, ANd she is open to requests! and fries the donuts in tallow now!”

“Fantastic food, and very friendly service. I highly recommend the breakfast burrito and any of the meats. horizo is my favorite though.”

“It was my first time to eat at the Armory but it won’t be my last. The food was great at a very reasonable price and I can’t believe how big this restaurant is. The size is deceiving from the road but once you get inside it will impress you.”

“Absolutely amazing!! I got the scalp treatment and I definitely will be making it a monthly routine! The tea is soo good and the staff really know their stuff! Very relaxing and comfortable place to be!! So excited to continue going and trying new things!!”

“Being a Concierge at a local Resort. I would recommend my guest to The Sonora Thai Cuisine!”

“Some of the best Mexican food in Sonora, generous prices when you consider their serving sizes. They also have some of the best jamaica I've had, super refreshing.”

“Went to the new drive through this morning. Wonderful service, great coffee, and yummy empanadas!”

“Mixed. Pro: Great hamburgers and nice friendly staff. Con: With a card, you will be given a tip "choice" that they deem fair and not you before the cashier completes transaction. Eat in. There is a huge difference in amount of fries and freshness between eat in and take out.”

“Love the food here. I try to come at least once a week.”

“always fabulous food and fun fabulous atmosphere and people!!”

“If you've found yourself in the heart of downtown Sonora CA, on Washington street, then make it a point to invigorate your taste buds by stopping by NoxSonora. It's a spectacular coffee shop where you won't find a better barista to make you a perfect cup of Joe to start your day, or keep you going! Fun seasonal drinks are offered, which will pair perfectly with the TO DIE FOR waffles and delightful syrup renditions you do NOT want to miss out on! PERFECTION in every biteful. Lots more tasteful goodies offered! The atmosphere is a captivation of charming small town, a relaxing 'feel good' fit...and plenty of laughs from the witty owners, and staff. If you're lucky you may catch some live music, guitar from the very talented owner Nick Stuart. What are you waiting for?!? Get on over to 63 N. Washington St., and ENJOY. You won't be sorry!! Ice coffee with coffee cubes is my fav, for those of us who are slow sippers (Cause we are not missing out on one marvelous drop of life juice-ya feel me?!)”

“Great food and professional service.”

“Sergios is a quaint, family friendly environment that delivers exceptional food and service. From the friendly employees who greet you with a warm smile, to the delicious food and salsa bar; Sergios will not only meet but exceed your expectations. Sergios offers several meat and entree options, with a complimentary salsa bar and delicious agua frescas. Nothing but kind words and promise of business for this lovely restaurant!”

“Foothills Café in Sonora is one of those places that instantly makes you feel welcome the moment you walk in. From the cozy atmosphere to the friendly staff, it’s the kind of café that feels like a local favorite for a reason. Whether you’re stopping by for breakfast, lunch, or just a cup of coffee, Foothills Café delivers comfort, quality, and great service every time.

The food is absolutely delicious and clearly made with care. Their breakfast options are especially standout—fresh, filling, and full of flavor. Everything tastes homemade, from the perfectly cooked eggs to the crispy potatoes and fluffy pancakes. You can tell they focus on quality ingredients and generous portions, so you always leave satisfied. Lunch is just as good, with comforting classics and daily specials that keep things interesting and make you want to come back to try more.

The coffee deserves its own praise. It’s smooth, rich, and exactly what you want from a neighborhood café. Whether you’re grabbing a quick cup to-go or sitting down to relax, it’s the perfect companion to your meal. Pair it with one of their baked goods and you’re set.

What really sets Foothills Café apart, though, is the service. The staff is incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming. They genuinely make you feel like a regular, even if it’s your first visit. There’s a warm, community vibe here that makes the experience feel personal rather than rushed.

Overall, Foothills Café is a gem in Sonora. It’s the perfect spot for a casual meal, a friendly meet-up, or a quiet moment with good food and coffee. If you’re looking for a place with great flavors, fair prices, and a welcoming atmosphere, this café is a must-visit. Highly recommend!”

“Great food best burgers in the area! Always a great time”

“We stopped in for lunch and were amazed by the staff and food. Everything was awesome from the drinks to the in house made ranch dressing. The avocado fries? OMG Delicious! I had The Feast a prime rib sandwich with at least half pound of meat and my daughter had the Prime Rib dip and my wife had the Chili Burger all beyond delicious. We are definitely coming back. We talked on the way home and want to try everything on the menu. Most everything is made in house. Thank you for an amazing experience and awesome food!!!”

“Taqueria la Esmeralda is delicious. You have the option of fast food for take out or a nice casual sit down meal. They have seating both indoor and patio. The staff is always friendly and smiling. I have never been in when it wasnt busy. Today we went in for the taco Tuesday special, we ordered quite a few tacos to go and the turn around time for that amount of food was great. They have a self service salsa bar and chips.
We got carne asada tacos, carnitas and pollo asado tacos. We have tried other foods previously- nachos, burritos & quesadillas. All equally delicious.”

“coffee smoothies and the watermelon chi mmmm”

“Docs dawgs always serves up fresh delicious dogs. They have a great variety of freshly prepared toppings and a huge variety of sauces and condiments to choose from. My favorite is the polish dog. Mustard, ketchup, onions, tomato and relish. Perfect every time! Sometimes they have a special and I mix it up. Renee is the best!! Great service with a smile!! Thank you Docs.”

“Very nice venue and service was excellent!”

“Excellent authentic Mexican food. Great value, generous portions. Absolutamente delicioso ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“We always enjoy our food from Ukneada Burrito. The food is always fresh and hot. There portions are big! Enough for leftovers the next day!”

“I've been enjoying the dark oily Italian Roast from Mother Lode Coffee daily since 1998. Loved this one so much I would even drive up from the Bay Area to Sonora to buy it in the 2lb bag for a few years until i found it for sale in a couple of markets in the East Bay. One of the best 'perks' of living in the Gold Country. Highly recommended!”

“Best ever sugar free yogurt❣ Jennifer the owner is why we even came to check the place out! We called to make sure there was a sugar free option. She was so bubbly on the phone... we looked no further. Once we arrived we were greeted as family, and served with the highest of regard! We live 2 hours away! But the service & the delish Yo Good Yogurt is worth another date day💗”

“Get ready to have your taste buds blown away. We had our Company Christmas party last night, absolutely amazing experience The food was on point, I can’t say enough The staff was super friendly and extremely tentative. Awesome atmosphere, table setting on point!!! Can’t wait to book another party with The Independent Catering Co!!!”

“Picked up some easy burritos. Fed the family for a cheap meal and really enjoyed the vegetarian burritos. They have a fantastic salsa bar and fresh tortilla chips!”

“this was the best food i’ve had in a while. we were skiing nearby and stopped at the standard pour afterwards and it was such a great choice! everything was soooo good: the salad, the soup, the sandwiches, the fries. really, everything was so good i couldn’t even take a picture before we started eating. the staff was super friendly as well, and the venue itself has special and unique charm.”

“Absolutely stellar food and service, it doesn't get better than this when getting tacos! I had the quesabirria and I also ordered a burrito. The owner was very friendly, honestly exemplified the pinnacle of customer service. 100/10 cannot recommend this food truck enough. I was impressed by the cleanliness of the kitchens, but the real star of the show is the food. Flavor was exceptional, and they showed great attention to detail. Bravo 🫡”

“My FAVORITE iced green tea !!!! Love the hint of mint! Always a blessing to support a local business!”

“The Junction location has a very friendly and attentive staff, and the space is always really clean. Plus the line moves pretty quick and they've always had my order on time and correct.
However, what is up with the size of the breakfast sandos now? Did they think we wouldn't notice?? $5.45 for 6 bites is insane! Do better.”

“They’re gluten free baked goods and lunch is delicious!”

“I am Schnoogs newest number 1 fan!! As someone who has been gluten free for two years, I could not be more impressed with Schnoogs’ selection and variety of GF products. Hands down the best GF scones I have ever had (and I live in NYC). I’ve had the breakfast sandwich with gluten free bread twice now and it’s been amazing. Delicious GF/ vegan brownies, GF cookies and wedges (GF biscuit with bacon, cheese, chives). Sally and the entire staff have been so lovely every time we’ve been in - our new friends in town!! Couldn’t recommend Schnoogs enough! Can’t wait to come back every time I’m in town and try something new off the amazing menu.”

“Love the sandwiches! And, who doesn’t scream for ice cream?? 🍨”

“Good service and the food is great”

“The best service . very friendly, quick and efficient. Would definitely come back.”

“I tried you fresh market seafood yesterday it has a great flavor and it’s so refreshing. The only criticism I have is that there is so much celery in it . I had a half cut serving and there was almost two servings of celery. Other wise it was delicious and had a good amount of seafood in it. I will still buy it I loved it.”

“We have never been disappointed. My son wished his BLT had more bacon in it. I had a hot pastrami and husband had turkey avocado. He got half of mind and I got half of his. The best of both worlds.”

“Terrific service and amazing food!”

“Great atmosphere and the food was delicious! It was a bonus that we were able to see 3 doggos while we ate!”

“My FAVORITE iced green tea !!!! Love the hint of mint! Always a blessing to support a local business!”

“We loved every single bite! Amazing!!!”

“Fantastic bagels at a reasonable price and great customer service.”

“Attended an eighth birthday party for a young lady here this afternoon. We had four pizzas, cheese, pepperoni, supreme and Hawaiian. They were very good pizzas and brought out on time. The employees were great about asking if we needed anything and helping us out. There is a self-serve soda machine with Pepsi products!!! There are some grabber games, arcade games, an old school metal horse the kids can ride and some machines that have stickers, candies, bouncy balls and little toys. These are the things that cost a quarter, (or less for the candies and toys) when I was a kid. I didn't pay attention to how much they cost here now. Probably $1 or $2.

Parking: Very large parking lot with handicap spaces.

Kid-friendliness: Fun games and things in the back for the kids and most kids love pizza!

Wheelchair accessibility: Doors are not automatic, but walkers and wheelchairs can get in and can easily fit down the walkways and in-between tables. I also noticed the employees will open and hold doors for people using walkers, wheelchairs or canes.”

“The prices were amazing and not only that they fill up your plate with a lot of food no matter what you decide! We chose bbq pork chow Marin with king lo beef and pot stickers for an appetizer! The food was very delicious and definitely worth trying!also our pot stickers were no joke they size of our hands and tasted amazing as well! Definitely will be coming back! This was one of favorites restaurants I grew up with as a kid they never disappoint! Come try all they’re good you won’t regret it! The place was clean and they were fast with our food and very friendly! Miss this pace so much!”

“Mandarin House is our first choice for take out. The food is always HOT and tasty on arrival at home. The service is always friendly. Good at when we go in for our buffet lunch as well, but I take small portion as the food cools very quickly once on the plate. I appreciate their smaller portions on the buffet as they refresh often.”

“Though the woman was on her phone multitasking, I was able to enjoy my meal while the place was sparkling. I like how people from India are able to own businesses and do different things at the same time. I highly recommend this place for anybody who wants to stop by near the grocery store in town.”

“I was very impressed with the great food, and the incredible service! The presentation of the food was amazing as well. Each sushi roll was a piece of art. I'm will definitely return!”

“We just had a big birthday party here and I just have to say how great everything was. From the excellent customer service to the delicious food to the really good prices~ everything was five star!! The whole staff was so helpful and friendly and the food was SOOOO FREAKIN’ GOOD😋 We had the reg pepperoni pizza, mozzarella sticks and the cheesy garlic bread and oh my gosh~ just fabulous!! Well done Mountain Mike’s, we will def be back and this is our new event party spot!!”

“Brook, Hailey, and adrena, are very professional, punctual and show cooperation. The food and the restaurant match in excellently. The place is very clean, and the people here are very clean. It is a privilege to be eating here!”

“Wendy’s is our regular stop when we’re passing through Sonora. It’s always quick, easy, and consistent.
The ladies working there are always super nice and accommodating. They’ll happily make you lunch items even during breakfast, and every request or modification we’ve ever asked for has been done without issue.
I honestly don’t think we’ve ever had a complaint here. Great service, reliable food, and a smooth stop every time. Hope they keep doing exactly what they’re doing.”

“Very good Italian Food and you gotta try the new menu items!”
