    Went to JP's Bistro after the movies, which is in Martinez. It is a very nice place, that serve breakfast and lunch, also have a small dinner menu on days they close at 9pm. Had their breakfast, I got a hamburger patty with eggs and my gf got Canadian bacon with eggs. The Canadian bacon was nice thick and tasty. The service was excellent friendly, attentive, and food came out fast. It has booths and tables, the lighting not too bright. I want to try their other things on the menu like their prime rib and their lunch menu. If you're looking for another breakfast spot or even takeout in Martinez, JP's Bistro is a place to go.

    Reuben with sweet potato fries

    Early dinner and we ordered the classic club sandwich, the Reuben sandwich, and the chef's salad. All were good and came out of the kitchen pretty fast. Sweet potato fries or onion rings as alternatives to regular fries is nice!

    Breakfast on point. Chicken fried steak was very good. Service still great. Servers are nice and quick. Coffee still weak.

    Good vibes, great service, amazing food. When you walk in and get to choose ur own seat it gives a family vibe where you could be comfortable and eat a great meal. Had a great time, be back soon.

    Crispy fried chicken sandwich, side of fries
    Steven K.

    If you're looking for a good food spot to grab lunch with colleagues and friends, go to JP's Bistro. Cozy and casual, JP's Bistro offers a variety of items on their menu from egg scrambles to breakfast burritos to sandwiches. I went to JP's to grab lunch with a colleague while we were passing through the area for work. The lunch hour was warm and inviting. The restaurant was full of workers like us passing through to grab a bite to eat. At the tables, family and friends sat, catching up with each other over plates piled high with sandwiches and fries. The servers greeted us, and my colleague and I were quickly seated. We were served glasses of water. After looking over the menu, I ordered a crispy fried chicken sandwich with a side of fries. It wasn't long before the food came out, and did it look good! The sandwich sat on the left; a generous piece of fried chicken rested on a layer of sliced pickles and mayonnaise, all between two fluffy buns. The fries had been piled onto the right side of the plate. It was a boldly simple presentation. I picked up the sandwich and immediately put it back down. The chicken was still piping hot from the fryer, and the heat scalded my fingertips. I started on the fries instead. Warm and comforting, each fry was a couple of delightful bites of crispy goldenness and starchy potato. When the fried chicken sandwich had cooled just enough, I took a bite. Delicious! Fluffy bread, crispy batter and juicy chicken filled my mouth with a tender yet satisfying crunch. The pickles brought a bit of balance and tang with them, and the creamy mayonnaise and sweet buns rounded everything out. I would have stayed longer, but we ended up taking the rest of our lunches to go since we were short on time. I was glad for the to-go boxes. They were spacious enough for my lunch; I piled the rest of my lunch into a box with ease. My time at JP's was an enjoyable one. If I'm working in the area in the near future, JP's Bistro would surely be one of the places I'd recommend to my colleagues to grab lunch.

    fish tacos
    Ruth B.

    So good! Great food and flavors! Fish tacos are amazing with crunch from veggies and a bit of kick. The ultimate skillet was hot and filling. And so glad we had the cheezy bacon fries. The bacon and cheese made it a standout. Service is always good. Many locals and workers stop by. Friendly vibe.

    Blackened Salmon Salad
    Michele G.

    Hey there Party People, I have to say I've never been a fan of take out for obvious reasons. Jp's Bistro has changed my mind the food was still warm when we got it home and the fries and onion rings weren't soggy. I ham the Ham Melt. It was not greasy and just super tasty. I am an onion ring snob so it takes allot to impress me. These onion rings were still firm and crunchy considering then were take out....the flavor was spot on as well. Hubby got the Tuna melt and gave it a 4 out of 5 stars. Thought the fries were good. My Friend Got the Salmon Salad. She loved it and the Salmon was blackened to perfection with fresh made guacamole on top. Will definitely hit this place again next time eating at the restaurant but I know I can always take it home and it will still be amazing. Be kind to one another

    Entrance next door to Nob Hill Foods in Martinez

    So glad we've discovered JP's Bistro. Breakfast is their specialty but there are some really good non-breakfast items on the menu as well. Highly recommend their soup, sandwiches and sides. We find the servings generous enough that I usually split a meal with my spouse. It's a great way to eat out for lunch and not get indigestion from laying down $50+ for lunch. We take-out a lot and the staff is always warm, smiling and remembers us. Nothing over-the-top here just regular folks serving good food to good neighbors. Check 'em out in Martinez!

    Fried Twisted Zucchini
    Steven Z.

    Amazing family owned business. The service is always the best and you can tell that the staff genuinely care about the customers. The food is also very good, the portion sizes are really big and packed with flavor. Don't get started on the fried twisted zucchini, it was so good and crispy. Definitely will be back to keep trying more and more of the menu.

    First time going. Many recommended it so had to try. My bf got the crispy chicken sandwich which was huge. I got salmon plate. The service was great. I liked the vibe inside. Only reasons it gets 3 stars are as follows: my veggies and mashed potatoes both were not hot. My veggies were not even luke warm. COLD. My potatoes were like Luke warm which I didn't like. My bfs fries were not warm either . ONLY THING REALLY HOT WAS THE CHICKEN SANDWICH. My salmon was warm but not steaming. It was busy not sure why the issues with all the sides. Also my salmon was just ok. It smelled very fishy and tasted more fishy than I usually like. I have had salmon on many places in the area that did not have a strong fishy smell and taste. So gave a 3. If the sides were warm I probably would upped to 4 but it disappointed me going first time. I had high expectations. Will go back and try something else.

    Corn Ribs
    Cameron K.

    JP's is a hidden gem. The owner, Pablo, is incredibly nice and the food they dish out is top notch. The zucchini and corn appetizers were great. Don't sleep on their chicken sandwich. It was so fresh, tender and the slaw complimented it perfectly. We also ordered the JP burger which was excellent. Can't wait to try their breakfast. Pablo and his team should be very proud of this restaurant. 5/5!

    Well this has been a restaurant since as far back as I can remember. Yes, for decades!…read moreI think this is the one that may last! Inside is clean, colorful & spacious. The staff seems kind, efficient & welcoming. My mother turned 80 & on her birthday she only wanted food to go from here. Specifically, Suiza chicken enchiladas. I got their flautas & my husband a chicken burrito in a spinach tortilla with mole sauce on the side. My mom loved her suiza enchiladas. My husband loved his burrito, said their mole sauce was different than he has ever had. He ate it all, so I'm guessing still great! My flautas were pretty, one corn colored, one red & one green. My only critiques: the chicken was slightly dry & they didn't include guacamole like in most places. For the price I'd probably get something different next time. Yes, there will for sure be a next time.

The service was solid. The food came out quickly. The quality of the food was good. I wasn't blown away, but had no regrets over trying out the restaurant. The only disappointment was that they didn't offer more Mexican breakfast items. The sign out front mentioned breakfast, so I was hoping they'd have it at 11:45am. The menu we were given contained no breakfast section.

The parking lot in front is small. There was one open spot so we grabbed it. I think there may be more parking out back but I don't know for sure. No street parking on Monument so if you strike out in the front lot, check in the back. We walked in and it was fairly crowded at 6:20 n a Saturday night. They seated us right away but it was the last open table - and it wasn't a great table, right by the front door and everyone waiting for take out or a table! But we were happy to be seated. They brought chips and 4 bottles of salsa in squeeze bottles. They were all delicious but one was super spicy so be on the lookout for that! They took our order, brought us water and our beers. All were very good. Then the food came! My 2 favorites were: the taco pork belly (pork belly, cilantro, guacamole and red onion) and the norteno taco (Anaheim pepper, cheese, carne asada, cabbage and onion). $7.25 each. These were out of this world good so be sure to order them. My birria burrito $15.75 was huge and delicious. I brought most of it home. We saw some families and couples here. Great table service. Super clean. We were able to see them cook in the open kitchen concept. Can't wait to go back!

Around 9 minutes later, she walked over to another table and asked if they needed anything else, yet I had still not been acknowledged. It felt as though she was either blatantly ignoring me or simply chose not to serve me. Overall, the customer service and attentiveness were very disappointing. I eventually walked out without ordering. At the very least, someone should acknowledge a guest, offer a menu, or bring a glass of water. Unfortunately, that basic level of service was missing during my visit.
