The smell of applewood smoked bacon, fresh hashbrowns, and homemade donuts to wake you up in the morning is the All-American experience. At Homeskillet, we've been cooking up some traditional breakfast food for years. Our fresh-out-the-oven style is the only way we serve our customers. Being a family-friendly establishment, we love seeing our customer's smiling faces and full bellies at the bottom of their plate. You can always expect friendly and prompt service from our staff, whether you're staying for a meal or having it delivered to your door. Our food is just a slice of heaven.
Jupiter
This hip little restaurant and brewpub has taken post-modernism to the extreme by adopting an original, if not heretical, approach to its décor. Inside you will find pews, fixtures, and other bits and pieces from a local Berkeley church. But sit back, relax, and enjoy one of its three dozen beers on tap, and nibble on gourmet sandwiches like roast chicken, and mozzarella and basil, as well as freshly baked pizzas. Local bands are featured on Thursday through Saturday nights.
Trestle
With a simple prix fixe menu consisting of only two options in each course, Trestle is quite an extraordinary fine dining restaurant. The staff are extremely well versed with the dishes and considering the menu changes constantly, requesting them for recommendations is advisable. Don’t forget to ask for some of their complimentary Firebrand Bread that is served with olive oil and butter. Delightfully tasteful, you might even consider skipping the main course altogether. The simplicity and elegance of this restaurant coupled with its delectable meals at prices that won’t break the bank will make it your favorite place for pampering yourself or celebrating a special occasion.

Super Duper Burgers has locations all over the Bay Area and this one located on Market St. is the original. Inside the kitchen, the chefs prepare 100 percent humanely raised, vegetarian fed beef, where most of the ingredients are sourced from within Northern California. In the case of the shakes and buns, the former comes from Straus Family Creamery while the latter arrives from a local San Francisco baker; needless to say, everything is fresh. For those who don't eat red meat, SD still has chicken and veggie options. Add some garlic fries to your burger; then, top your meal off with a Cookies & Cream shake; it doesn't get any better.
Best Breakfast & Brunch & Lunch Experience in Town.
