SideTrack Bar + Grill

"Food is good and the prices are okay - maybe on the higher end. Our table was the second group sat for dinner and by the time we were able to give our order the restaurant was half full so there was a wait from the kitchen. Our waiter also seemed to be out of sight when needed to come by for soda refills or a second round from the bar even though we were sitting next to it. A lost opportunity for the bartender but oh well. May come back for lunch when there is a smaller crowd."

"Chef AJ in the house. As a Le Cordon Bleu trained chef, I have an eye for talented people, hospitality, and food. The owner's philosophy permeates this local eatery. I believe it is one of Pleasanton's most welcoming establishments. If you've never been go. Once you are paying your bill. I hope you'll think about the next time you'll be returning. I've been struck so profoundly by everyone there I've placed it, and two of the bartenders in my upcoming book. Poetry & Recipes from the Bumpy Road Less Traveled."

"I ordered the hangover burger and the fries goat cheese and beets appetizer. I thought the hangover was good but nothing special and I would definitely order the goat cheese and beets appetizer again. I thought the restaurant was quiet and allowed for easy conversation, however, the service was not ideal. Our waters/drinks were not refilled, we weren't offered to go boxes, and the server was not knowledgeable about the sides. Additionally, they didn't let us know until after that a 20% tip was automatically added to any split check. I'd go again, but order to go."

"The Fried Pickles are fantastic. I'd five star just for those, cause I love fried pickles that much. But they had other stuff too! I know it's crazy. The Draft menu was solid and full of local options. I ended up with a beer from Epidemic in Concord. The food options were ample. I got the Cubano and it was quite tasty. The fries were just OK though, but the sandwich was great. My wife got the Tuna Salad and enjoyed it, though it may have had too many "crunchy" things for her. But not enough to be bad. The kid got the Summer salad and enjoyed it as well. Our waiter was nice and came by to check on us. The owner even swung by to check on us, so that was nice :)"

"My wife and I've been there in the late afternoon BUSC MLS fundraiser event, and we had a great time eating some good food. I had fish and chips and my wife had the sidetrack burger, which was delicious. The staff was friendly, and our server made sure that everything was okay."
