    I'm a huge fry gal and acme helps satisfy my fried potato needs! I am obsessed with their tator tots! They come out hot and ready to pop in your mouth. The outsides are always nice and crispy and the insides are fluffy (this is true for any of the fries). While I haven't tried of their burgers, I am a huge fan of their chicken tenders. They've always come out juicy and well seasoned. They have plenty of sauces to choose from and you can ask for any sauces you want. My favorites are the normal ranch and chipotle ranch. There are a few tables outside, but the place tends to get full during peak hours! Service is always friendly and food comes out fast.

    Busy spot. Small inside area to place your order. Was a bit cramped with people in line to order and pick up their order, people getting condiments and also people getting drinks from the soda machine. Outside seating only. Thankfully the weather was good. I found the burger to be a little greasy and didn't love the sauce they put on it. I likely won't return.

    Acme burger was very delicious. The quality of the beef tasted phenomenal, especially with all the toppings that you were able to add. I almost didn't have enough time to take a picture as I was so excited to sink my teeth into this burger. I also got the sweet potato garlic fries with barbecue sauce on the side and they added just the right amount of garlic. The service was super friendly and very helpful when it came to any questions that I had about the menu. I definitely would recommend this place to anyone that is looking for a good burger.

    Gone here a few times now. The burgers and the fried food are excellent. I had a fried chicken sandwich last time that was unfortunately underseasoned. Kind of a bummer because it was perfectly crispy. It was the Sonoma Hot Chicken special, the picture showed aioli on it, it none came on my sandwich. I bet if that aioli had been there it would have made up for the underseasoned chicken.

    It was my first time trying a burger, and it was so yummy! The food was fresh and perfectly fried. I really like this place because I can sit outside, enjoy the great service, and relax in a good environment. I'll definitely come back!

    Good food fast! Accurate!

    How have I not been to Acme Burger before?! Vibe: nostalgic burger joint! Order inside, sit outside or take food to go. They have a tent up over the outside seating during the winter. Their motto is "Good Food Fast" and they mean it! We tried: Sonoma Mountain Beef Company Burgers (Locally raised, hormone & antibiotic free, grass fed & grain finished) -a single with the included lettuce, tomato and Awesome sauce, plus cheddar and caramelized onions for me + -a double with the included lettuce and tomato, plus cheddar for him Beyond Burger (Plant-based protein, hummus, no awesome sauce) -single for a friend - her fave! We also tried regular Shoestring Fries, Sweet Potato Fries, and Cajun Fries - all winners! We didn't try but need to: garlic fries, truffle fries, tater tots, and sweet potato tots (I'm intrigued!). Our food was ready fast and the prices seem fair for the quality. My burger was substantial and hit the spot. Really enjoyed the fries too. It was a solid choice and I'll definitely be back. I'm impressed that they can maintain such an extensive menu. They also offer fried chicken, turkey burger, tuna burger, hot dogs, grilled cheese, salad, soup, Straus organic soft serve, milk shakes, and Pepsi fountain sodas.

    We were directed to Acme Burger by a banker at the nearby, Wells Fargo. The service was a little bit slower than I would've liked, but it was obvious they had a lot of to go orders that they were preparing. The restaurant is very cute with outside tables only . Generally, the outside area was clean, although there were a couple of splotches on a couple of the tables from prior diners. Both Dad and I had burgers. Mine was lettuce wrapped. They were tasty and juicy. We also shared an order of fries which were crispy. we use the secret sauce and ranch dressing as dip. Dad had a chocolate milkshake which surprisingly he did not finish. I think it was too rich for him. I felt the prices were reasonable and if I was back in the area, I would certainly not hesitate to eat there again.

    Cool little building, looks like an old place to get your oil changed . Nice rustic feel to it. Customer service was great. Great attention to detail. Smells good as well. This is all before I've got my order. -- ----- The burger itself was not bad at all, but it certainly was nothing to ride home about . I would give it a 6.8 out of 10.. I was very excited to try this place when I read the comments, but sadly it fell short for me . I haven't ate anything today, so it definitely does hit the spot.... But I expected more flavor in the meat. This is of course bias so give them a shot .

But sadly, I will say, the last two times i've been here, (since July of 2026), I've been disappointed with the Aji de Gallina. Something is different. The chicken tastes drier now, and the sauce isn't quite what it used to be. I'm not sure if the recipe was changed, but please know I am devastated and heartbroken to no longer be able to get my favorite dish and have it taste like it once did. Will it stop me from coming here? No. But I needed to make it known that the change to this dish made someone who once couldn't deviate from eating it if I tried, turn into someone who now refuses to order it because I can't bank on it being as delicious as it once was. And for that, my heart hurts. Still love u guys tho.

I had a 6:30 p.m. reservation and even received a text the night before asking me to confirm, which I did. When we arrived, however, the person at the front, who also ended up being our waiter, seemed unaware of our reservation and didn't appear to check for it. He simply said he could still seat us and took us to a table in the back of the restaurant. The back area did not have nearly the same ambience as the front, which was disappointing because the atmosphere mentioned in several reviews was one of the reasons I chose the restaurant for a special occasion. I mentioned this to him but decided not to make an issue of it since we were there to celebrate. The pasta choices were also somewhat limited for anyone who doesn't eat pork or certain types of seafood. Several sauces contained a combination of pork and beef, while others included cod or anchovies. They were kind enough to prepare my pasta with a tomato sauce containing capers and black olives, but unfortunately I found the sauce extremely tart. The biggest disappointment, however, was the service. Once our food and drinks arrived, we barely saw our waiter. My partner eventually had to go to the bar herself to order a cola. As she was walking back to our table, a waiter came rushing out of the kitchen and collided with her, causing the drink to spill, including some on her blouse. He quickly apologized, but no one returned with a replacement. She eventually had to flag someone down to get another drink. We had also brought our own mini cakes for my son's birthday. When it was time for dessert, I had to find our waiter and ask for them. He simply handed us the bag containing the desserts along with a lighter. He did offer to bring us a candle, but we had brought our own. I certainly wasn't expecting anything elaborate, but for a birthday celebration I would have appreciated the cakes being placed on plates and brought to the table, perhaps with the candle lit. We also were never asked if we wanted coffee or anything else with dessert. Our waiter was polite, but unfortunately he was simply not attentive. I chose not to complain that evening because it was my son's birthday, we had guests with us, and I didn't want to put a damper on the celebration. By the end of the meal, I was honestly just ready for the evening to be over. One final surprise was discovering on the bill that there is an additional charge for paying by credit card rather than cash. Despite our experience, I still left an 18% gratuity. I normally tip more when the service is excellent. I really wanted to love this restaurant, especially after reading so many good reviews and choosing it for such a special occasion. Perhaps we simply caught them on an off night, but unfortunately our first experience was disappointing and not the birthday dinner I had hoped to give my son.

The service was outstanding from start to finish, but what really impressed me was seeing Chef/Owner Tony Najiola actively overseeing every aspect of the operation. He visited tables, checked on guests, and was clearly involved in every detail of the dining experience. That's something you rarely see anymore, especially from a restaurant owner who has been doing this for more than two decades, and it deserves to be applauded. Everything we ordered was fantastic. The shoestring zucchini was a great starter, the lobster risotto was rich and perfectly prepared, and the Testarossa pizza was absolutely outstanding. Pairing it all with a Pliny the Elder made for a perfect Sonoma County dinner. Central Market isn't just a great restaurant, it's the kind of place that reminds you why locally owned restaurants matter. We will definitely be back the next time we're in Petaluma.

This review is not a reflection of the restaurant's food, service, or dining experience. In November 2025 I purchased a $150 gift card through Central Market's website via Toast. The gift card was never received. I first reached out in February 2026 to inquire about the missing gift card. Tony responded the following day suggesting that I may have been scammed. After I clarified that the purchase was made directly through Central Market's website, he acknowledged that he had misunderstood, stated that this was a known issue, and told me he would contact Toast to investigate. March 2026: A month passed with no update whatsoever. I called the restaurant and spoke with Tony directly. He told me that I would need to contact Toast myself--a completely different answer from what had previously been discussed. April 2026: I informed Tony via email that Toast's customer service system specifically states that support is intended for restaurant businesses, not customers. I followed up again by email on 4/30 asking if he had received my message and whether there was any update. I have received no response since. What is most disappointing is the lack of clarity and consistency throughout this process. At various points, I was told I may have been scammed, then told it was a known issue that would be investigated, and finally told to resolve it myself through a company that does not provide support to customers in this situation. Not once was there a proactive update, clear explanation, or meaningful attempt to resolve the issue. More than five months after paying $150, I still do not have the gift card (which was intended as a Christmas present for a close friend), a refund, or even the courtesy of a response to my follow-up emails. When a business takes a customer's money, there should be some level of accountability when something goes wrong. At this point, I can only conclude that customer service is not a priority. The complete lack of communication and follow-through has left me feeling that my concerns--and my business--simply do not matter. Based on my experience, I would strongly caution others against purchasing gift cards through their website.
