I've only been here during trivia night on Wednesday. We decide to go during lunch hour and they have a great lunch special. I enjoyed a spicy chicken with fries and a drink for 19.99 I will definitely be back. The service is always great. The environment is so nice and relaxing I will definitely be back.

Chicken sandwich
Andrew M.

Came here for lunch had some big groups which slowed the service alone bit, but they always made sure we were good overall. Food was delicious, place was cool with all the games and tvs. Would not mind at all coming back here if I am in this area of Santa Clara

It was my first time coming to Clara's Junction for Trivia night and all the waitresses and servers were amazing! Including the manager, she is such a sweet woman! Definitely coming over more often and get to know everyone better

Clara's Junction is such a cute spot tucked right outside Levi's Stadium--perfect for grabbing food and drinks before or after a game. The outdoor area is beautiful, with a huge covered seating section and plenty of lounge chairs that make it easy to relax and enjoy time with friends. The staff is friendly, the food comes out quickly, and the menu offers a nice variety of options. I tried the chorizo croquettes, which were flavorful and cooked perfectly, though I personally would have preferred a different dipping sauce--something like La Vic's famous orange sauce to complement the spice. The cilantro-green ranch-style sauce they served didn't quite hit for me. My husband had the burger and fries and really enjoyed it--said it was well made and full of flavor. We're already talking about coming back with the kids. Definitely a fun and easygoing spot worth visiting again!

Shoutout to Stanford! We came in before the Morgan Wallen concert and this place was chaos central , full house, and apparently the whole staff called out. But Stanford? This guy is a LEGEND. He was running the entire place solo and still managed to be cool, kind, and totally on top of it. He took care of everyone with a great attitude, kept things moving, and somehow made what should've been a disaster actually enjoyable. Someone give this man a raise (and a day off)!!

BBQ Tri-Tip Steak Sandwich and Not Too Spicy
Suzie G.

We had an amazing time at Clara's! The mocktails were a 10/10, the not too spicy was the right amount of spicy and sweet and the beers we had were wonderful as well. They have a nice variety that we really enjoyed! We split the croqueta's and they were a delicious starter that we really enjoyed. We both also had the BBQ Tri-Tip Steak Sandwich and they were perfect. They were delicious, tender, and the perfect portion for a nice lunch. The fries they came with were cooked perfectly as well. It was Sunday so there was music and it was overall a wonderful ambiance. The space was great, clean, and the service was great! We had an amazing time and can't wait to go back!!

My family and I decided to come here for a Father's Day and we had a very pleasant time. We came around opening and the vibes were chill. We were confused how to get a table, but the server(or he felt more like a manager?) told us we could sit anywhere. They do have QR codes, but he told us they do like to personally take orders too when it's not too busy. We sat outside in the shade of the umbrella and I ordered a salad with salmon. The kids order kids meals with burger and fries nad chicken tenders, and my husband had a burger as well. I was thinking they had mango cart after seeing some photos, but they said they don't have it anymore so I got some blue moon. Our meal was great! We enjoyed playing connect4 and cornhole with the kids and the music set a nice relaxing environment. I like to take my husband to places he'd enjoy at times when it's not too crowded and he said he had a great time. Would love to come back and enjoy the food trucks and DJ music :)

What a hidden gem. Right around the corner from Levi's is the loveliest space to host an outdoor gathering or just hang out with some friends. I enjoyed the chicken wings and street tacos! This place did not disappoint. Loved that there were so many seating options and activities for the kids too! Definitely making a return visit here on another sunny afternoon!

Earl Grey black tea.
Thy S.

Went to a family birthday. I got the cj smash along with a side of drink of earl Grey black tea and Arnold palmer. Trying to find parking close to the restaurant was a little difficult but there were plenty of parking away from it. Id also like to mention our waitress, raven, that catered to us only for the day. She was great. I can see that she was working very hard and attentive to us. Always had a smile on her face even though I know we had a big number of people and she had to manage that. Kudos to her. Tldr :I recommend this place.

The Ultimate Pretzel
Jaybee D.

Came here on a Friday Evening with some friends to watch the Warriors game. They had several TVs and had the volume up to stream the playoffs, which was what we wanted and why we chose to come to the restaurant. The restaurant also has outdoor seating with heaters but it was very windy. The bathrooms were clean. Honestly, I thought the food we had ordered was average. We mostly ordered appetizers and some drinks. I give the food a 3/5, it wasn't anything special to be honest. But they had a lot of finger foods which I was in the mood for. I thought the Chipotle Cheese Nachos were kind of a rip off because there was barely any cheese and they charge $4+ for the chicken tinga and we barely got any meat on it, I don't think I would order it again. I would try the entrees on the menu if I return. I thought the 9ers Mule was good, but they only had VSOP Hennessy so those shots were expensive. I thought service was good, 5/5. The servers and bartenders were attentive and got us what we needed. They also were clearing our tables efficiently. I would come back here on a game day to watch the game on TV or for their trivia night. The outdoors patio also had many TVs and seemed like a nice place to hangout when the weather is nicer. Place is also kid friendly.

Beef Birria Tacos
JoAnn C.

3.5 starts. Good food, slow service, worth another shot Clara's Junction has some real potential. The food itself was solid, the Croquetas absolutely stole the show. Perfectly crisp, packed with flavor, and honestly the standout of the meal. Everything we ordered tasted good, though it probably would've been even better if it had come out a bit hotter. The downside was the slow service. Our server was genuinely nice and tried their best, but it took quite a while for food to come out, and we didn't get drink refills until the very end. I'm not sure what was going on behind the scenes that day, could've just been an off shift, but it definitely affected the flow of the meal. That said, the staff was friendly, and the food itself makes me want to give them another try. With a little faster service, Clara's Junction could easily bump up to a five-star experience.

Bar area
Chris B.

I'm in the area only for today on business. I wanted to find a chill spot to message some clients. This place is cool! The Baja fish tacos were amazing. The staff is very friendly. I wish this place was closer to home. Thank you for a great lunch!

If you're new to the game or are too self conscious to visit a more serious setting, fairway zone…read moreis the perfect place to start. This is more of a sports bar setting with TV's everywhere so you don't have to worry about judgmental staff or uptight players. Chances are everyone is too busy watching "the game" to notice your crappy swing. The sim, although tricky and hard to read if you've only played real courses, is accurate and offers a ton of feedback. Gameplay supports up to 4 players unless you set up the golf range setting, then it's basically open season. Only 2 bays available by reservation so plan accordingly. There are some loner clubs if you don't have your own otherwise bringing your set is recommended. We had a bunch of appetizers that were all excellent. We came on a slow night too so no issues with drinks/food orders but I can see that being an issue when it gets lively(then again what restaurant doesn't have this issue when busy?). To my understanding this place just went through a menu/renovation refresh so look to the newest pictures for the most up to date info.

The ambiance and décor are nice -- and that's about where the positives end. When we sat down and…read moreopened the menu, several items were crossed out or scribbled over, so the food options I had seen on Yelp were no longer available. We had two different servers come to our table who didn't seem to be communicating with each other. As a result, we never received an order of sliders, yet they still appeared on our bill. The bartender also struggled with very basic cocktails. A simple cosmopolitan and a lemon drop -- both extremely common drinks -- seemed to cause confusion, which was surprising. As for the food, it was nothing memorable. One friend ordered a smash burger that was so smashed it included the bun, which I've never seen before. The wings I ordered were small and underwhelming -- five wings for $15 felt overpriced and disappointing. Overall, I don't understand how this place has a 4.5-star rating on Yelp. I left pretty disappointed. The only thing that seems to keep people coming back is the scantily clad servers rather than the food or service.

Toni worked with me over the phone to make it happen, and when there was a small miscommunication about the vibe I was going for, she course-corrected instantly -- not just in communication but in the actual setup. That kind of pivot is rare. The outside area was ideal for our group of roughly 60 throughout the day -- a mix of high tops, low tops, and couches that gave everyone somewhere to land. Heat lamps on when we needed them, off when we asked. Ellie and Shailyn were exceptional the entire time. I had to leave before I could personally thank the staff, which I regretted -- so I'm saying it here. This was exactly what I hoped it would be for my dad. Thank you, Toni, Ellie, and Shailyn. -- Anton
