    Favorite outdoor dining spot around here. The food is decent but the combo of location and being outdoors is hard to beat. Dog friendly, and people also arrive on horseback!

    Feels like time travel when you get here. Also: one of the most beautiful beer gardens in the Bay Area.

    A small slice of Americana. Be warned - this is a “Bring Your Own Trumpet (Confederate Flag optional)” kind of place. And the onion rings are amazing.

    Just renovated. Still has the dive bar look in the front room, but it’s now clean, expensive, and full of wealthy tech people. Fries are still good.

    Watermelon Margarita is amazing 🍉 Basil bruschetta with Burrata cheese and heirloom tomatoes and Reuben sandwich is pretty good

    Pink lady, hunter pizza and strawberry ginger cooler all delicious. Avoid on Mother’s Day bc parking is out of control.

    Not into the fancy Palo Alto scene? Head up alpine to the Alpine Inn. Not so great food, a huge back yard, patio, and lots of cyclists. OH. AND A TRON MACHINE.

    The food tasted rather cheap to me while the price tag is high. $24 for a pitcher is just outrageous! And they serve it in plastic cups!I'll stick to the Goose, $18 a pitcher and ice cold glasses!

    The food sucks, but the beer garden in the back is awesome on a sunny summer day.
