Saved my 1200th Yelp review for a great, local, farm-to-table restaurant. We were welcomed warmly and seated at a table in the early afternoon sun, so grateful for the gentle heat after freezing outdoors at a Pacific USA Swim event. American comfort food at an elevated level, we chose a gourmet mushroom burger with king trumpet mushrooms with Gorgonzola cheese and local bacon ($25) and possibly some of the world's pillowiest, crunchiest onion rings devoured by man. My swimmer had the "chicken fried chicken" with country gravy ($27.50), scrambled eggs, a side salad, a homemade cream biscuit ($2.50 upcharge) and hash browns. Because it was so good, we returned the next day to enjoy another brunch: My son tucked into his delicious patty melt and I had a perfectly cooked Santa Rosa omelette with sourdough toast, housemade jam and simply and beautifully dressed baby arugula ($23). Everything was delicious! We had a long drive back to San Francisco and overhearing our abundant enthusiasm for her restaurant, the owner, Samantha, gave us a giant cookie to go. It might have been the most delicious (chocolate chunk and sea salt) cookie I've had in .. I don't know when. The cookie was magical. You might pay a couple of dollars more but you're supporting local, organic produce and meats, homemade jam and the most incredible housemade ranch dressing (that's almost drinkable). You can *taste the difference - and you're supporting the local community. You owe it to yourself to have a meal at Americana. read more

We were told Americana is the best breakfast option in downtown Santa Rosa. No surprise! The food was tasty and the service was great. It wasn't too crazy on a Sunday morning. I hear Saturday morning was a little more busy, but we had no problem getting a table on a Sunday. Would recommend making a reservation through OpenTable just in case though! I got the breakfast burrito and it was thick. It came wet and covered with delicious red sauce. So good! My husband got the chilaquiles, which isn't a usual pick for him, but he really enjoyed them! They were very friendly and the food came out very quickly. Overall, an enjoyable spot and I'll happily come back! read more

What a great spot! Food is delish- i ordered the avocado toast with egg and the soup of the day (french onion) and my husband had the crab omelette. his potatoes were beyond delicious. all the food we tried was yummy. However- we had a small issue with my husband's dish and communicated to the host our concern. The host and the cooks took care of the issue immediately and continued to aim high with their accommodations until the moment we left. The host is such a nice guy. So lemme tell you something- the biscuits there are to die for! Just amazing. We enjoyed them so much I came back the next day to ask if I could buy some that were premade so i could freeze them and heat them on my own in the future...and what do you know- they were able to accommodate that as well! Located near the AC Hotel in Downtown- cozy little spot right on the corner of fifth and davis! check it out! read more

Came to just try it out. Man, was I pleasantly satisfied. Cute atmosphere, great food, friendly server. French toast was out-of-sight!Reasonable prices. Server even gave me a cookie on the house! Awesome. This kind gesture makes me want to return! read more

Was in Santa Rosa One morning and was searching for a quick bite to eat, or a coffee shop to perch for a bit. Armericana!! showed up so decided to give it a go. Love the exterior of the building, its in the down town area so there is parking all over with street parking meters as well. The Americana is inside a small shopping mall didn't have a chance to check it out but there were a couple more storefronts and I want to say a small lounge area. They have a small stand before you enter if you would just like to purchase their baked good (cookies and daily baked goodies they have) Right away the host and the waiters were very friendly giving it a real homey feeling, the interior has a barn rustic style. Felt light you were in the presence of a warm light. pleasing. We had the cup of cafecito y una Michelada(CANT HELP IT) It's a farm-to-table joint so everything comes locally, helping the farmers to keep doing what they do to feed their and our families. Perfecto! Ordered the Chicken Fried Chicken con dos eggs sunny side up and crispy hash browns. The chicken was juicy yet super crunchy, gravy was nice and hot definitely gave it a hearty feeling. Los Huevos were perfect and melted into the hashbrowns. Our Waitress was super friendly checked in on us and even answered some of the questions we had about the ingredients. read more

We love dining at Americana! The food is fresh, local, full of flavor and totally delicious! Always great service and wonderful staff. I will plan my day in Santa Rosa, too make sure I can enjoy a meal. I love the Tallow Fries, be sure to order them. This restaurant really is a true farm to table restaurant. They serve Stemple Creek meats, local vegetables, eggs, cheeses and as much as they ca, in fact I think they are the best in our region for truly serving local food! Enjoy your meal and be sure get a cookie for your drive home as I love the cookies! read more

Walked in and stood at the please wait to be seated sign. About thirty seconds later a lady sitting next to the door finished chewing and told me to "go on in" which I took for seat myself. Food took forever. Bit pricey, but Sonoma county, what do you expect? For $20 I'd expect two biscuits and gravy to at least be a real portion size. This was one biscuit in half. It was hardly the size of a fork. Spinach that came with wasn't even cooked or tossed in anything. Waitress disappeared without checking after food was dropped so I sat there without water or anything to wash food down with. Not like the place was busy, I was one of three tables. Told someone, not my server, i was done with my meal and it took another five minutes to find server and get my check. What food there was was good, so that's why it's not a 1 star review. Staff was apologetic when I voiced my disappointment, which was at least nice. They weren't rude at all, just inattentive. May try again in a few months and hope they sorted their problems out. They were kind enough to discount my food so I'll give one more shot later. read more

Well the ambiance and service (once we were greeted by server) are amazing without question. I also have to respect the values this restaurant incorporates into the food it puts out. They locally source the majority, if not all, of their supplies. Meat from local farms, bread from local bakery's, etc. It can be a bit more costly to go this route so I understand that plates here are a few bucks more, though I feel the quality is worth it. After waiting for 10/12 minutes I flagged someone down and asked if we could have water and were ready to order. After that our server arrived with no further issues service wise. My son ordered the chicken fried chicken and I had the 2 eggs breakfast. We waited quite some time mind you it's fresh and made to order in house so we are understanding but still hungry! When our plates arrived i immediately saw that my son's plate chicken fried chicken (25.50) was the size of one chicken strip. After quickly flagging our server I pointed out the portion and asked if this was indeed the correct portion. He agreed it was on the small side and promptly had another piece of chicken made for my boy. The owner, who I've forgotten her name right now, came over and explained where the hiccup likely occurred. What stood out the most was her trying to get to the source of the issue in order to make it right. Son and I finished our delish brunch and she sent us on our way with one of their 'breakfast cookies' so good! read more

I'm a fan of locally sourced food that's ethically produced. When a brekkie place sources true cage free organically fed chicken eggs, I pay attention. I've had several amazing experiences with Americana from burgers to huevos rancheros. And their jumbo choc chip cookies are crave worthy. To note, the use virtually no salt- this health approach for a sodium watcher like me lets me add just a bit where I want it without feeling puffy after a big meal like elsewhere. Both the Santa Rosa and Sebastopol locations are bustling but with different vibes. Try them both! Did I mention the scones with cream? read more

We had a wonderful experience here today. My daughter has celiac disease and Amra went above and beyond to make sure that the food was safe. She double checked on everything and was incredibly patient. We all loved our food, it was delicious. We will definitely be back! read more

The food was amazing! We had the chilaquiles and one of their breakfast combos. Both plates were flavorful and a good portion. We also had their coffee and it was good. The service was great. We had gotten recently engaged and they were so nice to us. It made us feel welcomed and appreciated. The restaurant was pretty with lots of greenery and unique decor read more

Meh, could've saved the $70 and made a better breakfast at home. We got an omelet with spinach/goat cheese/ and sausage. It was tasteless, the sausage had no flavor. Only thing in the omelet that had flavor was the goat cheese, which was minimal. Also got the chicken and waffles and the waffle was doughy still. Fried chicken was good. Cute ambience and service was great, staff was sweet and welcoming. But food wise, overall was meh. read more

I love that the food here is local and seasonal. We are spoiled with some of the best available produce here in Sonoma county and they take full advantage of it! The service here is always friendly and prompt. The Santa Rosa location feels local and chill with a rustic vibe. Today we had the ben beignets with house made blueberry jam, the breakfast sandwich with fresh pesto and the Benedict with hash browns. The hash browns here are not just potato and they are amazing! The little fresh rocket salad that comes with it has a wonderful vinaigrette that works perfectly with the creamy hollandaise. read more

Went in to go eat they had 10 available tables inside, but they're all reserved. You can't sit inside but you sit and eat outside where all the cars go by no covering and it's a hot day. Americana we will never eat at this place ever again. Oh by the way I was able to get on a reservation website and they had 8 tables available at that time I was there read more

Fabulous staff ! Food is Farm to Table and all is organic and or home made. Try the amazing fresh squeezed lemon aid ! Delicious and not pricey. They have a patio section where you can bring your fur babies inside too! They have a banquet room called the Z room you can rent out if you want or need privacy! Drinks are perfect. Whenever we are in Santa Rosa it's always a must go ! Can't go wrong here ! read more

Found this place on TikTok..never again! This was the most over charged, non-tasting food I've ever had in my life. I ordered the Chilaquiles with an added chicken breast. Omg...I could have never thought I would be charged almost $10 for a small A** piece of dried non-flavor chicken. Like my son would say, feels like I have covid and lost all my taste buds. Then I ordered one of the breakfast cookies...girl! That cookie was hard as a rock. The waitress felt so bad she gave it to me on the house You couldn't pay me to go back here read more

Great service. Delicious food. The breakfast burrito was huge. The space was roomy and casual. It accommodated our group of 6 well. Overall, a great spot for breakfast/brunch. read more

Food wasn't impressive at all. Very bland and didn't have much flavor. Had the worst Michelada I've ever tasted couldn't even finish it. Chilaquiles were terrible. It was nothing but bowl Of greasy chips hardly any beans and one tiny egg. Hardly any avocado and it was brown. The ratio was way off and it was stupid expensive for what you got. The chili sauce didn't have any flavor and was pasty. My wife tried to order the SR omelet and was told they were out of sausage? Huh? It's a breakfast place and they ran out? She had to find something else to order and was also unimpressed. She had to add a ton of pepper and salt to her eggs as they were so flavorless. Same with her potatoes. Spinach on the plates that I guess was supposed to be a salad was away over dresses and swimming in this weird vinaigrette that didn't at all match with the other food . Ordered a side of bacon and that was just an outright waste of money. Bacon had zero flavor - how do you even do that? It was like chewing on cardboard. Food was just so bland. Really disappointed. We won't be back. read more

LOVE their food. Everything is so FRESH. Lots of gluten free options. Incredible local coffee. Sonoma Omelet is my favorite. Fast service and sweet staff. Pretty loud inside cause they are just always popping! I recommend making a reservation ahead of time to be sure you get a table. read more

Terrible food. Tiny portions, bland, tasted microwaved, over priced. I would've rather just had cereal and saved money.

We were in Santa Rosa for an appointment and needed to stop for food after. Americana came up in a search, it was close by so we popped in. Street parking was easy and the restaurant is located inside a cute multi-business or shared space. (Not sure what you'd call it) The whole setup was nicely done. The restaurant itself felt welcoming and very chill. We were greeted immediately and shown to our table. The menu is full of standard breakfast items and more. We chose the Santa Rosa Omelet and Florentine Eggs Benedict. Both...delicious We tried hashbrowns and potatoes, both were cooked to golden perfection so I can't sway you on which was best. On your way out... get a cookie for dessert! read more

Service really good. We had the Chicken Fried Chicken. I have to say, wrong choice. The gravy had no flavor and it was thin. The fried chicken was small. We also had the eggs Benedict which wasn't too bad. The ham was over cooked and too much fat on it. The pancakes were probably the best. We ordered Blueberry Pancakes which to me not enough blueberries. It's a little pricey but okay. read more

Husband and I wanted brunch and decided to try something new. I'd been hearing great things about Americana. Their format is a little different; you order when you first walk in at the counter and then get seated. The restaurant is in a small building with a few shops inside. We were seated just outside the restaurant in kind of a courtyard area (inside). My husband ordered their chilaquiles and I had their two egg breakfast with potatoes and sausage. The food arrived quickly and was delicious. My husband said his chilaquiles were some of the best he's ever had. Spicy. The sausage was great and my eggs were cooked perfectly. I really liked the greens they put over my meal, it was a different touch to a breakfast dish that I really enjoyed. I love that Americana partners with local farmers and butchers. It's great to support local businesses while enjoying an outstanding meal! read more

My first time here - will likely come back. Service was excellent even though you need to order at the counter, no biggie, food was served quickly and server checked on us a couple of times. Friend had the burger - liked it alot but it was HUGE - 1/3 pound! Their home made onion rings were a hit. I had sausage gravy on biscuits and side of 2 eggs. Eggs cooked perfectly but not impressed by the sausage gravy - very little sausage and served luke warm at best. Oh well. But nice atmosphere, friendly and helpful personnel - so it's all good. read more

I give this restaurant 3 stars. We went on a Sunday at 830am-ish. Wasn't overly busy. Service was okay. We tried to flag down our waitress to refill waters and couldn't get anyone to refill. Didn't get checked on after food came. Appetizers of beignets. Husband ordered chicken fried chicken. I ordered biscuits and gravy. Portion sizes were on the smaller side so getting the bill of $60 was overpriced for what we got. The flavorings were lacking. The gravy needed tons of pepper and hot sauce as it was very bland. I don't think I would be back due to many other local restaurants having a better menu selections, flavorings, portion size, and absolutely better pricing. read more

The staff was really polite. There's a cute couch to sit on while you wait. I definitely want to go back. I highly recommend the fresh orange juice and the meats. The parking lot is really open so lots of room. The restaurant itself is kind of a weird shape. We took a second to find the front because there's quite a few businesses crammed into that one building but it' was charming if not a little expensive. Everything is as fresh and nice except no one was a huge fan of the cookies. They're good but not great. Chia similar feelings. I want to go back though and it was good service and food just farm fresh pricing read more

Good food, expensive for what you get. Has inside outdoor patio where you can bring your dog.

I'm trying to understand what happened today after buying 1 fried chicken sandwich on a gigantic way too large bun. Oh, it came with a very small handful of nubby sized French fries also. The order was to go. The cost was $35. Looking back, I don't know why I went through with the transaction. It first appeared somewhat large but as I ate it all of the breading had chipped away, leaving a much smaller piece of chicken that would probably be a $ buck fifty at the grocery store. What the hell is going on? This feels like I was taken advantage of. I am very aware of what things cost...what is reasonable, what is not! Over the weekend we bought an entire BBQ rotisserie chicken with a caesar salad and baked beans for 2 at Lombardis in Petaluma for $22.99 read more

This place came well recommended for brunch, and I was there with friends on a busy weekend morning. Service was friendly and attentive, and the menu looked amazing, with lots of local ingredient offerings. I ordered the Sonoma Omelette with home fries. The omelette looked amazing but the eggs were dry and overcooked. Unfortunately the potatoes were slightly undercooked. The meal came with the sourdough toast which despite a healthy slab of butter, was dry and tough. Despite the food issues, the staff were warm and welcoming and I hope I was just there on an off day for the food. Location was amazing, right downtown SR and parking was easy. read more

I know, lately I've been neglecting my reviews. I haven't been writing. HOWEVER, this place is totally a must 5 star review. 5 stars for their service, location, to the food. We were told that everything is freshly made and delicious. Absolutely! My hub and I split Benedicts, and the chilaquiles. Both plates were very delicious and very different. Best of all my kiddos loved their meals too without any complaints. You can taste the flavors and the freshness of each plate. They do a wonderful job in presentation and the food is equally as good! If you are passing by or staying near here this is a must! read more

Americana - Blueberry hotcakes side of bacon. French toast platter with scrambled eggs and chicken sausage patties. - American Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

I love finding restaurants where farm fresh food is a priority. SETTING/AMBIENCE: Located in Old Railroad Square with convenient parking. The building is shared by multiple businesses. Americana has an inviting/modern feel to it, with lots of natural light. FOOD: Classic farm to table - you can taste quality and freshness. I enjoyed the Florentine Benedict with their homemade hollandaise sauce, so tasty! Also, I think this is the best place for Mimosas - you know how some places give you more OJ and can barely taste the champagne? Well, not at Americana... thanks for being generous at 10am! Great way to start the morning for sure! VALUE: Pricey but you're paying for quality food. SERVICE: Order and pay at the counter, then find your seat where ever you'd like. Host and servers and really attentive. read more

Really not a good dining experience. We ordered two burgers, the chilaquiles, and a 2-stack of pancakes. The burgers were pretty bad. I ordered medium rare and the burger came medium well. (I did mention the burger doneness to the server with the intention to pass the message along to the kitchen.) The quality of the beef was great, but there was no seasoning whatsoever in the meat. I've never once bit into a burger and said "wow, this needs salt." The tomato slice was totally anemic. For a place that prides itself on farm to table ingredients... what about just not serving out of season produce? There are no local tomatoes in May. The fries with my burger were supposed to be "shoestring" fries according to the server. Definitely not the case. They were crispy on the outside and completely dry on the inside. Bad. My wife had the same complaint about her burger. She got onion rings and they were decent for the first bite or two but became completely limp and inedible after a couple minutes. The pancake was dry and very average, unbecoming of a $14 plate of two pancakes with some underripe fruit and butter. My sister's other dish, the chilaquiles, looked pretty good. I had a bite of the chips with the green salsa and they were tasty enough. I am quite appalled at how expensive our meal and two iced coffees cost. $88.49 before tip. I will under no circumstances be returning. Better burgers at Beer Baron, Superburger, or pretty much anywhere else. Better prices literally anywhere. Avoid. read more
