Cajun style food. Family owned restaurant. Breakfast served until 2pm and on weekends only bottomless mimosas until 2pm. Delightful menu items like beignets, okra, fried green tomatoes, and hush puppies. All day happy hour on Thursday. Youthful service staff who are very attentive and helpful. During this time of COVID the staff wears masks and outdoor dining in the parking lot is available. read more

As someone born and raised in the South it is disgusting that Clementine's dares to label itself as a "Soul Food, Cajun/Creole" restaurant and not have enough grits available for dinner!!! If I wanted a bland dinner with faux NOLA-styled food I would have gotten a dog to cook it for me!! Came here for dinner with my aunt and cousin. In all we got: - fish and chips ($14.99) - the fish was extremely dry and the price of Cod was 2.70 higher than the price of Catfish. I don't care about paying more, I do are about being charged the higher price without the restaurant being clear about it up front! - spicy fried chicken and tots ($15.99) - half a chicken.. so the portion was good moist crunchy salty and peppery the mashed potatoes were definitely not smothered in gravy like described in the menu - Shrimp Po Boy ($10.99) - The only decent part of the meal was the sweet potato fries.. and that's just sad. Coleslaw was bland and didn't leave any good impression Will NOT return. And I DO NOT recommend going to this farce of a "soul food" "restaurant." read more

This place is hip and one of the many venues I perform at. So far I've been performing here for 6 years. Great food and bar along with room to dance and get your groove on! read more

Love the food at Clementine's! I haven't had *everything* on the menu, but the reason we go here is for the Cajun-style seafood and gumbo and the delicious CORNBREAD!! The shrimp basket is my go-to when I'm feeling thin, and for dessert, do NOT sleep on the pecan pie. A super-treat, and sometimes we go for dessert, JUST to get this delicious pie! You owe it to yourself to dine here sometimes, or (as in 2020) get takeout. Delish! read more

Great breakfast selection, good food, decent service...I really like this spot. I can say I will be back. I want to come back to try out the lunch and dinner menu. Team Foodie to the rescue!!! read more

Great food. Drastic improvement from my first experience a year ago. Gumo was very good. BBQ Shrimp was excellent. Highly recommend it.

Very good place! Breakfast are to die for as well as their Gumbo and fried chicken , service is always prompt and polite

The food is ok. We came on a Saturday morning around 10:30am. After 10 minutes of waiting and not being acknowledged, we were seated. A young girl came and took our drink orders and 5 minutes later we got our drinks. 15 Minutes after getting our drinks, we FINALLY have someone come take our order, after I turned around looking for someone. We were sitting in the booth where the wall behind it is where all the menus go. Every single server thew the menus in the slot and it banged against where we were sitting. Very annoying. Can't they set them in there instead of throwing them? All around it was a bad experience. I won't be coming here again. read more

I noticed that there were Yelp reviews for Clementine, so that meant that the restaurant was finally open. I've passed by the restaurant several times, it's located in a strip mall on the corner of San Ramon Valley & Bollinger Canyon Rd where a Marie Calendar's used to be. The thought of a new place to eat in San Ramon was exciting, but I was not that impressed with the food at Clementine's. It would be great if the jambalaya was more spicy and if the mac & cheese were had more cheese like some of the other yelpers have mentioned. It might be a good breakfast place, so I'll give it another try at lunch. I think most of the diners were like me and wanted to give the new place in town a try. The staff is definitely friendly. Clementine's offers a bread basket when you get seated that includes white bread and cornbread. The cornbread reminds me of a citrusy pound cake, but it was delicious and kept me happy for a little bit. Just a note, the bar is not up and running yet but they do serve wine and beer. I think this place has potential, but I would give them some time to get their staff find a rhythm. Kitchen was not as fast as it could've been. read more

I ate here for lunch on a weekday. Oyster po-boy was a special of the day, so I gave that a try. The po-boy was pretty good, it didn't make me jump for joy, but it satisfied my craving. I tried to add some of their "hot sauce" onto my po-boy, and it was more of a vinegary concoction than hot sauce. Their were some spices in a shaker that I didn't see until later. The meal wasn't over whelming, simple and good. I give 3 stars for now, maybe bump it up later once I try more of the menu. read more

What a find! Wow this place specializes in authentic Southern comfort food. Our first visit we tried the high and meaty Deli sandwich, w/crunchy sweet slaw, Cajun seasoned fries. Oh so good! And we tried the earthy Prime rib & vegetable soup. They nailed it, tender chunks of prime rib, tasty as it is comforting: as good as it gets! We can't wait to experience all the Southern delights this menu holds. Fried okra, fried green tomatoes w/ housemade Remoulade, gumbo! Fried shrimp and/or oyster po' boys and a myriad of exceptional choices, and a Sunday brunch with a jazz band. Check it out, this is a quality restaurant, and family owned, we love to support the non corporate foodies! Thank you Clementines, for today and our future visits. Shout out to Momo, Drew, Maria.... 3 of the happy employees here. read more

Just visited Clementine's for Sunday brunch a few days ago. We came at noon and while the place was busy, we were seated right away. The lunch/brunch vibe was clearly different from our dinner experience. With the sunlight streaming in through the shutters and a live band in the bar, the place was not as gloomy. Service was relatively quick when we could get it. The coffee was good. However, we had to flag down a server for the one refill we managed to get. We also didn't get ice water until we asked. I had the chicken & waffle. The waffle was tasty with a nice crunchy exterior and a soft interior. The problem was it was room temperature. The butter served on top of it didn't melt at all. They also didn't give enough syrup and it was hard to flag down a server to get more. The chicken was tasty but again was just warm, not hot. It was also a little greasy and just a tad overcooked. I think the chicken was parcooked and sat under a heat lamp until an order came in. Then they did a quick refry to heat it up and crisp the skin. Then it sat under a heat lamp too long waiting for a server to pick it up. The 2nd dish was the Smoky Joe's scramble. This was a generous serving and came with a choice of side. Instead of potatoes, we got toast & fresh fruit. Again, the problem was not in the taste but the fact that it was not hot. I think this place has potential with solid food and will get better when they get the timing down. read more

Nice spot. Nothing stood out for me. Food was pretty good. Our waitress was great. She was able to help those of us who haven't been there before decide on what to get. They bring you out cornbread to start. It was very moist. We ordered the bacon wrapped shrimp. It was pretty good. Shrimp was cooked perfect, wrapped in a large strip of bacon with BBQ brushed on top. We also had the chicken and waffles (the waffle was huge) and Jambalaya. The jambalaya was my least favorite, which was unfortunate because that's what I was looking forward to the most. They have a full bar. Looks like a nice cozy spot to watch a game or come listen to the one man band they had that night. I would come back to try other items on the menu. read more

Had the fried oysters to start those were OK, sauce on side was good. Artichoke dip was good, needed more bread. Had the shrimp and grits which was tasty and the ribs were amazing. Drinks: Stubborn Moscow Mule with fresh mint and they modified no simple syrup for me!! Thumbs up with The Southern Gent was solid 4 . You must try the Hurricane if sugar and booze doesn't matter. Monday night HH $2.50 Blue Moon pints. read more

I love getting breakfast here on the weekends. The service is wonderful and the food is always good. Update - Came here for dinner and it was a bit disappointing. I had the fried chicken, which is supposed to be one of their specialties. But it was just ok and the white meat was dry. I've had better at Popeye's. I'll be sticking to breakfast here read more

Friendly staff, great food. I really enjoy going there. Both indoor and outdoor same great service

Walked in here on a Sunday morning with a headache from drinking last night!! Looking for a cure right now! We chose to eat American breakfast instead of my favorite viet pho noodle for my hangover ! Walked in around 1:30, we were seated immediately. Host and waiter were super friendly. So hungry!! We order the favorite on yelp ! The Crab Cake Benedict to fulfill my starving stomach and tried to filled up my last night alcohol with these carb ! The Crab Cake Benedict came right after we put our other order it ! Perfect timing ! Love it !! We ordered the hot wings !! Duh ! For sure ! Look at me ! Then we also ordered crawfish étouffée !! Crawfish étouffée was spicy and instantly cured my hangover !

1 star feels like too much. The service was outstanding. The food was the worst creole food ever. Canned at best. Please don't go there unless you don't like flavor. read more

My friends are hard to convince, but this is one of my favorites in the entire east bay. First of all Creole food... way out there in Northern Cali. AWESOME. Secondly, they have so many specials throughout the week, there is always something to choose from when it comes to value pricing. Third, they have the Dark & Stormy here and it's way better than the other places that serve it. IF they serve it, at all. Good family style place and pretty much only busy right at dinner time and on weekend mornings for brunch. Great parking and nice service. I have a great experience every time I go. read more

This is the second time I visited Clementines and they were out of oysters. Today I called ahead to ask about the oysters. They claimed they had them. We arrived at 3:00pm. Placed three orders of the Oyster Basket. The waiter returned and said they were all out again. Very disappointed!!! read more

Service was great... From host to waitress.. But the food that I got was oily... Very oily... It was hot but it wasn't what I expected it to be... Flavor was just ok... My okra appetizer was a little chewy and some were great.. Catfish was just ok .. Butter noodles for kids were a little dry and seasonal veggies were good until the bottom was all oil again....3 stars for service only.. Won't be back.. Sorry not sorry.. read more

Thank you for being open! I can imagine how hard it has been for restaurants to manage with Covid. They have outdoor seating where tables had a good distance apart. The staff was kind and attentive. We came for breakfast and I thought everything was well done. The kids gobbled up the pancakes. They said it tasted like cupcakes. My other daughter also had the kids waffle that she also enjoyed. We also got the Benedict with crab cakes and chicken fried steak that were both delicious! The best part of brunch was the Bloody Mary. Never had one with bacon in it. Deelish! This will be our new breakfast spot. read more

The mission was to find a restaurant that would satisfy my taste buds with New Orleans food. I heard good things about this place so I finally got a chance to try and it did not do it for me. I definitely think it is worth trying because it was quite busy. Unfortunately, nothing comes close to the original Louisiana Territory that was in San Jose (the restaurant NOT the TRUCK). It was my last go to places for good spicy New Orleans food and have not found anything to match it since it closed or rather turned into a truck. read more

So-so food, so-so cocktails. Menu descriptions of both sound so much better than actual quality. At least they don't water down their liquor like so many chains. But it looks like a slightly remodeled Marie Callender and the food is no different. Tried once and not likely to do so again. read more

Clementines in San Ramon has the most amazing menu unlike other restaurants in the area. I had the catfish the 1st time I went and it was delicious, then 2nd time I had the banana foster French toast which was to die for... service was great and I can't wait to go back for a 3rd time read more

Had a great meal today with my family. Restaurant was clean, neat and the service was great. The fired chicken was great, shrimp and grits had tons of wonderful flavor, Catfish was tasty and jumbo was super good. We will back again soon. read more

They had the best social distance seating. Breakfast and unlimited mimosas were exceptional. Will be back!

Space: There is plenty of space here with an area for a bar and a family friendly section as well. It is almost as if they split the restaurant into half. Service: They are pretty busy on weekends but they keep checking how you're doing and if you need anything which is wonderful. Price: The food is not unique but the price is average for San Ramon. It will cost about $10 or more per person. Food: There was nothing unique on the menu that I really wanted but they have a good brunch selection if you're in the mood. They have a great variety of food. Notes: There is a huge parking lot so It shouldn't be hard to find parking. read more

Avoid this place like a plague. Plenty tables in the restaurant but not going to serve a party of two because they don't even have enough staff. WTF?!? Bye. read more

Staying at the hotel next to Clementine's. Nice gem. The waiter, Brian, was a delight, very knowledgable about the food and the restaurant. The shrimp and greats were hot and had amazing flavor. An authentic Cajun recipe. The music was good. I could have enjoyed some New Orleans Jazz (for atmosphere). They open at 7:00 am for breakfast, 6:00 might have been better for business travels, like myself, especially being next to a hotel that host a fair amount of business people. Thanks for a great experience. I wish I was coming back to this area. They only have one location like this. Glad I found Clementine's. read more

Servers were very rule and the service was not acceptable. They made it clear they were serving other groups better than others.

I'd been happy to give a review of this place but couldn't. I stopped by against,several of my friends protests. I should've listened. Last Friday I stopped by around 1 and stood there for 10 minutes waiting for someone to come out to seat us. A server came out, saw us and didn't acknowledge us at all. The restaurant was NOT busy there was 1 guy sitting in the room to the right of the front of the door and 2 people sitting at a table. We waited for a few more minutes figuring the useless waitress would come over to seat us. Nothing, she disappeared in the back. So, I am willing to say the service sucked big time which is fine because apparently their food does too! This place really deserves NO stars! read more

Decor of the restaurant is New Orleans theme and very pretty. The restaurant is big with s bar and the service was good. Menu seems pretty reasonable with items and prices. We had the large platter which ate everything on it. My chicken sandwich had a lot of flavor. My only critique is that the chicken was very small and then. I think they should have put 2 extra pieces on it. Overall, everything was delicious and we will definitely go back. read more

The food that's OK but the service is horrible maybe it's because I'm a Mexican they don't like Mexicans

The 3 1/2 star average is pretty spot on. Came here for breakfast with a friend. The food was alright. The service was slooooow. Had to wait so long for our check that I didn't have time to order the pecan pie I wanted. Oh well. read more

I've eaten there a few times. The food was ok until yesterday. I ordered the catfish basket. It was horrible. It appeared that it had been deep fried twice, maybe the day before and when I ordered it. Yuck. read more

Taylor was an excellent server. She was very attentive and very friendly. She stopped by our table multiple times to make sure everything was going well during our visit. She was very friendly and had great recommendations for what to order when we had questions. Food was great as well which is why we came read more

The oyster Benedict was to die for!!! I swear I'm addicted. It had just the right amount of crunch and great seasoning. And the banana foster pancakes almost made me cry. It comes with caramel syrup and my god... if you're not spiritual, after eating those you will be! read more

This place does not abide by it's posted business hours. Last night (Friday) some friends were looking for a place to meet for celebratory drinks. There's few places in San Ramon that stay open past 10p, but Clementine's hours said 11p. At 9:36p, I called to confirm their hours and the gal answering the phone said they were indeed open until 11p last night. By 9:50p, we arrived to find the doors LOCKED, but could see customers inside the bar area and could even see someone still performing live music. I tried calling again but no answer. A few minutes later an employee exited, and he told us the place was closed. When I asked him why their hours said 11 and that i had called to confirm, he just shrugged his shoulders. Didn't seem to care at all that 8 paying customers were there ready to spend money and ended up going elsewhere. read more
