List 14 Budget-Friendly Restaurants Near You in Petaluma, California (Part 2)

Michael Connors Great atmosphere! Great coffee: organic from Petaluma Coffee Company. I got a breve served up in a beautiful large ceramic bowl. Love it! Eggs Benedict was served up very quickly. Good quality, sizable portion, subtle flavors.

Patty Clavijo My boyfriend and I past through Petaluma last night and picked this restaurant for its reviews and great looking food and we were not disappointed. Christine was our amazing serveur. She gave up top notch care and attention plus she’s super sweet. We had the meatballs and Fog ( forgot the rest) pizza. Very delicious !

Paul Reed Excellent Dog Friendly establishment with awesome food & very good service. The soup was always fantastic and the atmosphere was pleasant.

Sharon Lilly Wow! What a treasure! A diner thats not greasy and offers healthier food. The servers are amazing. Pumpkin blueberry pancakes! Potatoes that are fresh, flavor with an optional dollop of sour cream. Wonderful Greek omelet with fresh spinach. Id be here everyday if I could.

JoHanna Schultz We had dinner with our son. They both had paella, and I had carnita (pictured). We shared empanadas. We also had dessert. I enjoyed my Frank Sinatra cocktail. Services was pleasant and helpful with suggestions.

Suguitan Leonard (Len) Best part of our experience was the food! We ordered the Pollo Rostizado (whole chicken), large sides of the rice and the beans, sweet plantains, and Mofongo Relleno De Camerones (shrimp with mashed plantains & salad). All the dishes were very good! Party of 5, and it was enough for all of us. Spent about $110 before tip. The chicken was tender, moist, and very flavorful! I guess we couldve ordered the combo, but we wanted larger sides of beans and rice. My parents really enjoyed everything! They also appreciated that some of the food was soft, because it was gentle on their teeth. For example, the beans, plantains, and chicken were tender and it was easy to chew for them. I thought each dish complimented each other when all the items were on my plate. I really enjoyed the bottle of vinegar sauce on the table. I out it on my chicken, and it brought out the flavors even more. The seating can be difficult for larger parties, because the place is really busy on the weekends. I commend the workers for their efforts, because its such a busy environment, and they probably have so many requests from the patrons like we did, lol! The food is very good, and Id drive from San Francisco to the San Rafael location if I start to crave their food. The Petaluma location, however, is larger and newer. The decor is inviting and feels like were in a tropical location.

Kyle Martin Always a great time at The Block in Petaluma! Open air courtyard bar and beer garden with a few eating options. My girlfriend and I have taken the Train from Santa Rosa the last three years for Saint Patricks Day celebration to hear the best local Irish band, The Gentlemen Soldiers!

Katherine Knecht Okay so I didnt actually have a chance to try the food but I was afraid that if I didnt enter any stars for that category, it would bring down the average by a lot. But I will say I just had the best hot cocoa of my entire life, and had a great time getting to know the owner John, who puts together a ton of different community focused nights. When we left, a group of nurses were getting together to get to know one another. It was so sweet! He does a bunch of different nights specifically for different communities to get together and meet, I look forward to going back again. Very sweet mellow vibe.

Ashley Randle While visiting Sonoma and Napa for wine country we decided to stay in Petaluma. We stumbled up one this unique restaurant bar since it was open late on a Sunday night. and we were in mood for good food. The service was excellent and it was a nice cozy homey local feel. We all ordered the salmon and brussel sprouts. We also had the lobster mac (not imaged) which was delicious ! Definitely recc. There is also a little bar adjacent across the courtyard. that has live music. Will definitely choose to visit again on our next trip but during the day. The patio was so cute to enjoy sunny weather and good food.

Chuck Dougherty What a delight! Amazing food, impressive selection and service. Its no wonder this restaurant has been a favorite for generations. Very highly recommended!

jayson merrill A cute new spot in town. Petaluma Sunshine Cafe is a welcome new spot on this side of town. It was busy but not full at 9:30 on a Saturday. However when we left, they were full(which was awesome to see at a new spot). The had a little of everything. The service was fast and prompt. The food came out quick for being busy. Normally breakfast food can be a little greasy but this was not. I had the corn beef machaca and it was great. The coffee was fresh and hot. Look forward to trying it for lunch or dinner sometime.

Robby McCullough Had a lovely diner last night at Bijou. The beef wellington was phenomenal. Crispy and flaky texture on the outside, melt-in-your-mouth beef, and fantastic flavor throughout. We loved the cheese fondant and the risotto. The service was very well done too - great timing, recommendations, and just enough attentiveness. Glad to see this space back up and running, and were excited to see how the menu evolves moving forward.

jane Kisluk Excellent wings and the blue cheese dressing was so rich with chin is of blue cheese. Coffee was excellent. Came right before closing on Sunday at 2:40pm and service was excellent & fast. After a long flight and drive, this was perfect stopover on a whim! Highly recommend!

Avant Lard Travel - by Houston Porter Soooo good! We dont dine here often enough especially considering its one of our favorite restaurants IN THE WORLD!!! (...and for context, we do dine all over the world, are food and travel writers, food and drink tour guides, and international food and drink judges.) The quality of the meat is amazing especially considering the prices (some of the best filet anywhere), the food is always quick and delicious, and the staff is great. I wish they had a nicer location and more comfortable seats, but they are still easily in our Top 10 list of favorite and realistically are probably in our TOP 5. (Sorry but our Mains photos arent great because we already started devouring the food.)
