Walnut Creek restaurants with food menus

PRIMA Ristorante

➤ 1522 North Main St. Walnut Creek, CA 94596, 94596-4609, United States

Soup • Italian • Cocktail • Continental

"Brought a friend who had never fined here. Still feel this place is a touch overrated. Food is ok, some items were better than others: 1. Grilled Caesar had far too much dressing. 2. Tagliatelle was either over cooked or had been warmed up was tough...meat sauce was tasty though. 3. Risotto was decent but too peppery. 4. Gelato was tasty but it would have been a nice touch to add a shortbread wafer or something similar since. Just a thought. 5. Good wines by the glass are way overpriced. Service was quite good all-in-all an OK experience until... if you dine in the front area/atrium setting, be prepared fir the noise level to be bombastic!!!!! Our reservation was at 6pm by 6:30pm, it was all you could do to fight off a migraine! It’s a perfect area if you are with someone that you don’t care to listen to, but if you want an enjoyable conversation, ask to be in the interior area."

Lokanta

➤ 1520 Locust St, Walnut Creek, United States

Full • Casual • Dining • Catering

"I had the opportunity to visit Walnut Creek today and was excited to have lunch at Lokanta, as I had enjoyed dining there a few times before the pandemic. However, my experience today was disappointing compared to my previous visits. The highlight of my meal was the cocktail I ordered. I decided on the meatballs, baked prawns, rice pilaf, and roasted Brussels sprouts. The rice was average, but everything else was overcooked. The meatballs were charred, tough, and dry, lacking flavor. Similarly, the prawns were dry, chewy, and overcooked. The Brussels sprouts were the worst of all, appearing black and shriveled, and tasted disgusting. When I mentioned my dislike for the dish to the server, he took it away and brought back the same burnt Brussels sprouts. Despite only tasting one and disliking it, I was still charged for the dish. This was a first for me and left me quite shocked."

NM Cafe at Neiman Marcus - Walnut Creek

➤ 1000 South Main Street Walnut Creek, CA 94596, 94596-4515, United States

Soup • Meat • Cafés • Seafood

"Great menu. Lots of variety. Food was good. I have celiac so need a strict GF diet. Very accommodating. It was noisy but there were lots of people celebrating the Holidays, so everyone seemed to be in a festive mood. They had lots of holiday drinks served in charming little red containers that looked like Christmas tree ornaments, which you could take home. Very festive indeed. It was fun!"

Burma 2

➤ 1616 N Main St, Walnut Creek, United States

Asian • Mexican • Burmese • Bar-lounge

"I ordered the tea leaf salad, garlic noodles with duck, and black pepper lamb, all accompanied by Burmese tea and fresh young coconut drinks. The food was enjoyable, but the staff forgot to mention the sauces that would pair well with the dishes. Our table was near a busy road, which was a bit distracting with cars zooming by. However, the live band added a nice atmosphere. Unfortunately, my water glass was empty multiple times during the meal. Parking was challenging, and it was disappointing to learn that the restaurant does not provide discounts or support for service members or first responders."

Fleming's Prime Steakhouse Wine

➤ 1685 Mt Diablo Blvd, 94596, Walnut Creek, United States

Wine • Cheese • American • Steakhouse

"Visited twice just in a month for different occasions my experience was not consistent. It's either great service and sub par food or the other way around, but never great food and great service. Some details about the food: they mess up the doneness of the stakes when there are multiple same orders at the table. Mistakes happen and we would on such occasions just swap plates, but when there are add ons like lobster tail, scallops and different sauce that's not possible the kitchen needs to pay more attention. The last time my ribeye was full of gristle I ate some of it, the dog enjoyed the rest. Such meat cuts have no place on a $80 plate. The sides are nothing to write home about. The appetizers are decent, except that the pork belly was under roasted and not crispy. I could be totally content with the place at half the price, but if it wants to compete in the Ruth's Chris category price wise it's two stars."

1515 Restaurant Lounge

➤ 1515 N Main St Walnut Creek, CA 94596, United States

Soup • Pizza • Seafood • American

"Besides the slowest service possible, Everything we ordered was wrong. Someone at our tabled ordered a Gin and Tonic and got a tequila, watermelon mojito. Fajitas with no sause, salsa and or pico de Gallo came completely drenched in all of them, which the person ordering expressly told server about a food condition that they cannot have any of them and it would send them to the hospital. Not only did they Not take it back and/or fix the mistake, the server just smiled and walked away. Still charged for the food that was unedible. The order of chips and salsa was the table ordered was almost $10 and had 12 (yes, 12) chips for a party of 6! It took over 30 minutes to get drinks and almost an hour for the food, and there were only 4 other tables seated in the restaurant. We went to celebrate a birthday and ended up getting fast food on the way home. Absolutely horrible and management and server did not care or do anything to correct the mistakes."

Gott's Roadside

➤ 1275 S Main St, 94596, Walnut Creek, United States

Soup • Salads • American • Beverages

"Loved the environment here. Big indoor area with lots of seating plus sunny outdoor areas. Nice decor. The wait is not short. We came at around 5:30pm on a Friday and we 're second in line. Food took about 25 minutes for one burger, Impossible nuggets, and fries. About 15 minutes later, the line was wayyy out the door. Burger was decent. Nothing special, but was enjoyable. Impossible nuggets did taste just like the real thing, but that 's not much to write home about. Top that off with the fact that they were very expensive means that I generally wouldn 't eat them again or recommend outside of 'just to check it out '. Garlic Fries were ok. Similar size/shape to McDonald 's, but McD is probably better. Chili Fries were a bit of a disappointment. I 'd like to come back and try some other items, particularly if I find myself shopping in Walnut Creek."

Pho Huynh Hiep

➤ 2034 N Main St, 94596, Walnut Creek, United States

Tea • Asian • Coffee • Vietnamese

"This restaurant can get quite busy, with outdoor seating and limited indoor seating available on a first-come, first-served basis. They also offer takeout options. We were fortunate to wait only about 20 minutes before being seated. My husband and I ordered the combination beef pho, and it was absolutely delicious—fresh and very satisfying. Regarding safety measures, the staff wears masks and gloves at all times, and they clean the tables after each customer. Hand sanitizer is readily available for everyone to use. However, I didn’t notice the staff wiping down the chairs, so you might want to ask them to do that for added safety if you prefer. Overall, we were very pleased with both the service and, most importantly, the food!"

Massimo

➤ 1604 Locust St Walnut Creek, CA 94596-4119, United States

Fish • Pizza • Salad • Venues

"What an evening. Private room for the birthday girl! Roughly 20 of us. First, there's a parking garage directly across the street so no stress driving around looking for a spot. It seems to be a lovely place, unfortunately not much details on the full restaurant as we were seated in a private room. As soon as you walk in, you keep to the left where the bar is and continue on to the separate private area that includes their own bathroom. We were greeted with champagne to start with. Rocio was our fabulous server and took care of all of us, including my very good friend who is allergic to peppers. They made sure everything was made separately. The food was absolutely amazing, cooked to perfection and the plated presentation was stunning. Our dinner menu consisted of: Dungeness Crabcake Caprese Antipasto Waldorf Salad Massimo Caesar Salad Chicken Picaata Grilled Angus New York Steak Fresh Fish Tiramisu or Apple Tart I highly recommend this place. If we have another dinner party to throw, this would be on the list."

Il Fornaio Walnut Creek

➤ 1430 Mt. Diablo BoulevardCA 94596, Walnut Creek, United States

Beer • Pizza • Salad • Coffee

"Finally tried this place for lunch. Seated quickly. The waitress was attentive. Bread came out with the Regina salad. The salad was different for me, considering the couscous, but very tasty. Large portion so we shared it. He ordered the lasagna which was also a surprisingly big portion. A little underwhelming in the flavor department and there was a soft, almost creamy cheese on top that we couldn't identify. I ordered the seasonal gnocchi dish to try, but with pasta. The sauce itself was not enjoyable. The waitress was nice enough to let me order something different. I went with the linguine mare pasta with a little extra spice. Loved every bite! Id come back here for the service alone. Please forgive the angle on the seafood pasta pic!"

Bagel Street Cafe

➤ 2975 Ygnacio Valley Rd., Walnut Creek, CA 94598, United States

Cafe • Bagels • Coffee • Breakfast

"The sandwich on Dutch crunch would have been perfect if there was a reasonable amount of avocado. Barely any avocado in the veggie avocado sandwich. (I doubt they would put such a small amount of meat if it was a meat sandwich. Also got the wrong chips, just salted chips not salt vinegar."

House Of Bagels

➤ 1331 Locust St, 94596, Walnut Creek, United States

Bagels • Coffee • Cheese • Sandwiches

"I recently discovered this charming bagel shop in Walnut Creek and I have already been twice. It has surpassed the chain bagel places I used to frequent. I have never received an incorrect order, the staff is incredibly friendly, and their food is fresh and delicious. My husband enjoyed his tuna melt so much that he couldn't wait for me to take a photo before digging in. I highly recommend supporting this small business."

Sasa

Wine • Fish • Sushi • Noodles

"The food at Sasa is outstanding, very creative, very flavorful, the service is friendly and attentive, although some grumbling that they were under staffed. the crowd is lively, the bar very crowded. We always sit at a table in the back..."

Parada

➤ 7001 Sunne Lane Walnut Creek, CA 94597, 94597-2112, United States

Wine • Spanish • Seafood • Peruvian

"Waiter very present at the beginning, harder to get attention later on. It would help to know how spicy dishes are especially for people who have a low tolerance. I ordered 2 dishes, only one came before it was time for desserts…all the others had their full meal before I ever got my second appetizer, which was never…"

Benvenuti

➤ North Broadway, Walnut Creek, 94596, United States Of America, 94596-4297

Wine • Venues • Italian • Sicilian

"This Italian restaurant is truly a hidden gem! Their food tastes so fresh. I mean their ingredients; produce, pastas literally taste fresh like you'd just picked them from the farm. Needless to say, their food tastes brilliant. You must try it yourself and enjoy the delicacies there. My favorite is their creamy gnocchi pasta with sweet peas. IMO they can add a little more choices of salad. I'd also stop by here just for their desserts. Their tiramisu and chocolate cake are mind blowing, plate licking good!! Overall the ambiance and service is also superb the waiting/table staff really pays close attention to taking away plates, filling up water cups, and in general very polite and cheerful. Amazing Restaurant!!"

La Sen Bistro

➤ 1606 N Main StCA 945964609, Walnut Creek, United States

Wine • Fish • French • Bistro

"We have always enjoyed eating at La Sen Bistr,o going back to when the original location opened in Concord. The menu remains fairly consistent, although nightly specials are offered across courses. We started with the beef steak tartare which is wonderful and beautifully presented. Also highly recommend among appetizers the escargot, duck liver pate, and sharing the crab cake entrée. We both ordered the duck breast which is a favorite and it did not disappoint. Cooked perfectly, delicious sauce, and served with a tasty polenta cake. The duck confit is also a good choice if you are a duck fan. Service was attentive throughout and professionally executed by the entire team. Excellent service really stands out as it is rarer to find these days. Only disappointment is that we received two small pours for our wines by the glass. The wine list is limited but has some nice French and California options. We enjoyed our wine but the pours were smaller than the norm for the price. Writing this review and thinking about last night's meal makes me look forward to our next visit!"

Thai Thani

➤ 2892 Ygnacio Valley Rd, Walnut Creek, United States

Thai • Asian • Casual • Chinese

"Beyond its delectable cuisine, Thai Thani also has a full bar offering a selection of Thai beers, wines, and cocktails. Additionally, the restaurant holds a happy hour from 3 PM to 6 PM, making it an excellent opportunity to enjoy some menu items at reduced prices. Overall, Thai Thani is an excellent choice for anyone seeking delicious Thai food in a welcoming atmosphere. The meals are always fresh and bursting with flavor, the staff is friendly and attentive, and the prices are reasonable. I highly recommend Thai Thani to anyone in Walnut Creek looking for a superb Thai dining experience."

San Francisco Creamery

➤ 1370 Locust St, Walnut Creek, United States

Coffee • Mexican • American • Delivery

"Visited San Francisco Creamery Co. post lunch to satiate our ice cream cravings. And that's when I realized that they serve a lot more than just ice creams. The have an extensive menu with everything from burgers to pastas to sandwiches to sundaes and a whole lot of dessert options. I was inclined to try some of them but since a heavy lunch had already been had, I decided to stick to my ice cream.<br/ <br/ After trying a couple of options, I settled for the COOKIES CREAM ice cream which I loved. There were a couple of more flavors that my friends ordered which stood for me STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE CARAMEL CHOCOLATE.<br/ <br/ The portion sizes were huge and our server was polite.<br/ I'm definitely going back to sample the rest of their menu."

Slice House By Tony Gemignani

➤ 1500 Mt Diablo Blvd, 94596, Walnut Creek, United States

Pizza • Cheese • Mexican • Italian

"Tony Gemignani is the godfather of American pizza making, and it's clearly demonstrated here at the Slice House. He showcases his skills with many different styles of pizza, like New York, Detroit, grandma and American traditional. On top of that, their crust may be one of the best I've ever had. However, I do have a small warning for those who have never been here before, this is not a full size restaurant with indoor seating, but more of a take out pizza joint with only a few individual seats with a common bar table inside and a few tables and chairs outside. As the name suggests, you can get a slice or two, but for most people it's takeout, but very good takeout."

The Habit Burger Grill

➤ 1504 Geary Rd, 94597, Walnut Creek, United States

Steak • Mexican • American • Fast Food

"I visited Habit for the first time, and it was excellent! I ordered the steak sandwich along with onion rings and a fountain drink. They have a great selection of burgers and various sandwiches. In addition to that, they offer lemonade and a salad bar. Although it was lunchtime, my food came out quickly. There are free parking spots available outside, and it's easy to locate using Google Maps. Next time, I plan to try either a burger or a chicken sandwich. Highly recommend!"
