Top 12 Budget-Friendly Restaurants Near You in in Santa Rosa, CA

Kelly Olson What a great diner experience! There are so many WONDERFUL options to choose from and it was tough to decide! They are very accommodating to make 2 egg omelettes rather than 3 and the super spuds are a skillet without eggs - which is just my jam! They can customize almost anything to suit your taste! Great food and good friendly service! So nice to find a local place with good local folks! This is a great place to enjoy breakfast or lunch in a welcoming environment with good food! Seems like a place regulars meet up! Thanks Carlos, this place is a treasure!

Janice Bae This restaurant has beautiful scenery, both indoors and outdoors. The building was supposedly built in the 60s and an antique feel that adds to the quaint look thats so unique and charming. My husband & I ordered 2 appetizers, a pasta, and a main and found the dishes quite filling and delicious. We especially enjoyed the pollo entree, which was interestingly more of a chicken puff pastry. The complimentary bread is also quite good - definitely have it with the balsamic vinegar. Overall highly recommend!

David Weiner First time here. My type of place. Small, intimate and cozy. We started with the heirloom apple salad, moved on to the mushroom handheld and the pork tenderloin. Everything was very good. The salad large enough for two. The tenderloin, perfectly cooked and paired with a sauce made from apples. We had no room for dessert. The service was great. Overall a home run.

Denise Fisher This was, hands down, the best and most authentic Italian we have ever had! If it was local to me I would be a regular there. My only regret is that we are only traveling through and I couldn’t sample the entire menu. It’s a small location but the atmosphere is on point and it is very busy because the food is fantastic! I was so full but I couldn’t leave without trying their crème brûlée and their cannolis. OMGOODNESS it was so worth being beyond full when we left. I will make a point to go there every time I am traveling through.

Jennifer Alexandria I enjoyed the avocado gluten-free toast immensely. So delicious! They had a delightful gluten-free scone as well. It was tasty. Thank you for your impeccable service. Many blessings ✨

Kristina Kouris My mom & I were exploring the old railroad square and stumbled upon this place doing so. Im so happy we did! We came on a week day late afternoon/ early evening and there were some people, but not too crowded. We sat at the bar and had a drink & ordered a pizza. The bar tender was super nice & attentive. I got the Painted Lady drink which was good, not too sweet or strong. The wood fired pizza is amazing. I got the house made sausage one and it was incredible. The crust and toppings were just perfect! I would definitely come back here again when in the area!

Cindy Martin Carson We went here for breakfast this morning and it was great! Friendly and efficient service, good food, and a cozy diner ambiance. I had cheese blintzes (daily special) and they were divine. A lot of other items were very large, but the blintzes were the perfect amount of food. The mocha was also delicious! We live in Eureka, but we’d definitely be regulars if we lived in town!

Brian Williams The veggie empanades are amazing but honestly we have never had a bad meal here, lets get that straight! Every dish is a flavor bomb. I love this place and my wife and I have enjoyed Sazon for years. The expansion is amazing with the new deli area. The wraps are fantastic! Staff is always great, friendly and super helpful to explain the menu. We had the chicken wings for the first time today and wow!! You gotta try it to see for yourself.

Eric Nguyen Last minute dinner plans with my grandmother. Salmon wrap with tabbouleh and fries on the left, pineapple chicken croissant sandwich with a salad on the right. Plate in the center for sharing. Not pictured are the dolmas we got as an appetizer. Great food, great atmosphere. Definitely coming here again.

Jessica Wilcox Always enjoy eating at Iron and Vine. We’ve been here for brunch and dinner and food is always excellent. It’s a go-to when we have out of town guests as their menu has a variety of items. Food came out quick, service staff was attentive, and everyone enjoyed their drinks from the bar as well. I also want to say we love going here during the holiday season - they decorate the dining room with several trees and it always is very festive!

Florian Mahe Great Coffe. The only place in Santa Rosa if you want a good cup after 3:00 PM. The staff is extremely nice, smiley and friendly. Good atmosphere, very inclusive, everyone is welcome. Support this place!

Debra Ganas Visiting from FL for business. We were looking for a restaurant that felt like home and Hanks landed it. Lisa was wonderful! The corned beef hash and biscuits and gravy did not disappoint. The service and atmosphere were inviting and excellent. Highly recommend!
