This is by far my favorite restaurant. However this is not truly a place to impress. This is a place to EAT!!! Entrees range anywhere from around $10 to $28 for dinner, $6 to $13 for lunch. However, quite often just the appetizer will suit your needs. My wife and I used to go and just get appetizers at the bar and call it a meal. One entree will last three meals. My favorites are the Whiskey Chicken (stuffed chicken breast with whiskey sauce), the Ore Cart (two types of ribs and BBQ chicken), and of course the Prime Rib. All the entrees are just as delicious though. You can't go wrong at this place. Rustic, western themed. Great for gatherings and familys. Waits can be long at times, but well worth it. Don't forget the root beer barrels on the way out.

Niemans trys to bill itself as an upscale restaurant. Don't be fooled. It is in a great location in the Villiage, in a beautiful old house with a somewhat romantic setting. However the restaurant menu is limited, mostly the catch of the day. It is overpriced, and service just plain sucked. The waiter was fairly rude and the hostess not much better. We will never go back there again.

Basically a big salad bar. Well kept up. Even though it is under $10, it is still expensive for salad. The soups are good, but not too much of a selection. The soups rotate daily. The muffins are awesome though. Excellent if all you want is a salad bar.

Best steaks and burgers in the Village. Casual atmosphere, good for first dates. They have something for everyone. Friendly staff, good food. This is always a fun place on the weekends.

If you want hot, messy, and overall fulfilling cheese steak, then this is the place to go. A few other sandwiches on the menu, but don't waste your time with them. GEt the cheese steak, you won't be sorry.

Great place for brunch. Good atmosphere, but stuffy clientle. Food is excellent, but leaves you wanting more. Portions average size. Haven't tried the pastries yet, but they all look delicious. Can get crowded on weekends.

Used to be in an out of the way place in Clayton, but now that the town has grown, it is central and easy to get to. This is by far the best pizza in Contra Costa. Always friendly and warm. Great selection of toppings. They sold me on pineapple on pizza back in the eighties. This place is practically a landmark. Their longevity is a tribute to the great pizza they proudly serve.

This is by far the best, mouth watering steak house in the world. Large portions. Gets very expensive by the time you are done ordering, but worth the price if you want to spoil yourself. The Prime Rib and Filet Mignon are the best bets. You will be awed by the size of the cuts.

Food is average Mexican fare. However you do not go here for the food. The atmosphere can not be beat. Set in a spanish villa, with period dress for the wait staff and roaming mariachi band. It is in the tourist area known as Old Town, however this place tends to get populated with many regulars and locals. It is a fun place to meet your friends.

Food is good, but not exciting. Portions tend towards the small side. Busy atmospere. If you want to take the family out for some decent italian food at acceptable prices, then this is the place to go.

Make reservations early. Book a window seat around sunset. This could be the most expensive restaurant with the worst food, and you wouldn't be disappointed if you do this. you cannot get any closer to the beach than this. However you don't have to gamble, because the food is excellent. Seafood and steaks mostly. Efficient and courteous wait staff. Romantic setting. If you want to impress your date, this is how you do it.

Southern California restaurant with a german flair. Good place to bring the family. Food is average, prices decent. Not a date rastaurant. This is a family place. Lunch is your best bet here. The sandwiches are the best thing on their menu. Get dessert to go.

Great food and accomidating staff. Close the montgomery field. GA pilots are regulars here. Good place for a date. Formal feeling yet fun place to go. Place livens up on weekend nights. Great atmosphere

Huge 30" pizzas are more a novelty than a good meal. Best bet is to just get a slice to go. Will satisfy your hunger, but not your taste buds.

Great Irish atmoshpere. Excellent food. Pub feel, so menu is somewhat limited, as to be expected. Place livens up at night. Awesome beer selection, go for the Guiness draft. Fun place to be.

The place to go before, during, and after the game. Owned by one of the best linebackers in the game, he doesn't disappoint. Food is good, but nothing too special. However it is tasty and filling. This is a sports fan place to be. Be careful, can get rowdy, especially when the Raiders are in town.

Interesting place. Hawaiian feels. Unusual burgers on the menu, but all so far have been excellent. Burgers are large and filling. Some other items on the menu, but your best bet is a burger. A fun place to meet friends.

This is the best pizza I have ever tasted. Although the food quality has declined since I first visited in 1988, it is still awesome. Mouth-watering pizza will make you eat way too much. Pasta and baked dishs are just as good. At first the portions look average, but you soon realize you can't finish what is on your plate. Although you will try to stuff it down anyway, because the taste is heavenly. A must try.

Great Orange Chicken and Mongolian Beef. These are our favorites. No delivery, carryout/dine in only. Friendly staff. Good prices. Full entrees range from around $6 to $13, include fried or sticky rice. The best Chinese food in area. Give out 10% discount coupons with every carry out order

Average food. Typical Ruby's fare. Burgers, sandwichs, nothing too exciting. Food is good, selection is limited. Few come for the food. The location can't be beat. Located at the end of the Oceanside Pier, over the water. Great sunsets and romantic location. Great views. Oceanside has renovated the area lately, and is getting better. Golf cart shuttle for lazy people.
