Restaurants in Galt

Sonoma Chicken began dishing out flavorful fowl in its first restaurant in 2002, and it takes its name from the lauded California wine region and its own signature rotisserie dishes. Now with six locations and more forthcoming nationwide, the award-winning eatery still whips up each menu item from scratch while calling its culinary modus operandi "fast casual." Chefs cook new batches of rotisserie chicken every hour, hand-toss each salad, oven-fire each pizza, concoct sandwiches with homemade focaccia bread, and conclude meals with homemade desserts. A dining room and outdoor patio accommodate visitors, and Sonoma Chicken catering supplies its fire-grilled and specialty cuisine to groups of 10–200 feasters—the same range of people that might show up for a university symposium on talc.

Rok Bistro escorts its guests back to the Stone Age, doling out filet mignon, top sirloin, and other exotic meats seared and sizzling atop hot stones. The unique, albeit ancient, cooking method fills the restaurant with savory aromas and keeps every bite hot throughout a meal. Amid those aromas, crimson accents, arched doorways, and exposed stone create a rustic atmosphere, and sidewalk dining and a full bar whisk guests back into modern times.

Today's Groupon finally gives you and your favorite food something to bond over, with $40 worth of Cajun fusion cuisine at Gumbo Jumbo for $20. The restaurant is a Top Five Best Cajun/Creole Restaurant in the Bay Area, an honor it earns as much for its lively atmosphere as for its unusual choice of cuisines to fuse together. If you bring along your whole Mardi Gras krewe, you can fuse two Groupons together for tables of four people or more.

Brothers Steven and Matthew Hardin opened the first Hawgs Seafood Bar in Campbell on December 13, 1996, dishing out fresh oysters on the half shell, steamed clams and mussels, and plates of lobster, paella, and grilled salmon. The restaurant takes its name from the brothers' childhood in Los Gatos, when Matt earned the nickname "Hogs Jaws" thanks to his speedy work at the dinner table and word-for-word quotations of speeches from Animal Farm. Today, the family celebrates the proud tradition of sharing special moments with loved ones while devouring everything in sight through a spread of ocean-fresh meals such as garlic-roasted shrimp and pan-seared scallops, all accented by frosty beers and an ample selection of wines.

The burger has made burger lovers out of millions of burger-loving Americans.
