A Blast From The Past. I have been going to The Van's for the past 20 years. For a great lunch I usually get a burger and beer with the works, melted cheese and crispy bacon. For dinner, I sit down for a nice steak, done on the mesquite broiler or prime rib Yum!! Holidays are also a special time to go to the Van's including Thanksgiving, Christmas, and even Easter. I highly recommend this restaurant to everybody for a delicious sit down meal.

RUDE WAITER AND VERY BAD SERVICE!. Went for my 75th birthday dinner with 6 people. Upon making the reservations the receptionist said we will make it nice. The food was just so so. The service was very slow but more importantly the waiter was extremely rude and looked like a hippie with long gray hair! Upon getting the bill they charged $10.00 for a little scoop of ice cream that was supposed to be my birthday "free" desert. When asked the waiter he said "Oh well"! We Will NEVER go back!!

Great food, friendly atmosphere. This restaurant is great! Fun, friendly atmosphere, great views, nice bar area and free, delicious apps when you come for happy hour. I had the prime rib special and my wife had the lobster. Both were terrific. Nice people, great service. Will definitely come here again!

Delicious Dinner!. Van's has delicious prime rib! When I walked in I thought it was a bit kitchy but I see, that's it's charm. My family, there were 10 of us, all had really great entrees. I had the prime rib which I ordered medium rare and it came out perfectly. We had the grilled artichoke, garlic shrimp, crab cakes and the wedge, as apps and all were good. Crab cakes could have been juicier and I like bacon with my wedge but other than that everything else was perfect. The Spicy Seafood pasta is delish! If you like vodka, order the VollyeBall! You'll see what I mean after you drink it! The people were very nice and the service, all around, was excellent. During the day, the view is great. At night, it's nice and right now it's decorated so festively. I highly recommend Van's for group dining. Thanks Van's for a great evening!

Nice and cozy setting with great food!. Great place to hang out and have a drink. Better place to eat, the food is very good. Stuffed Mushrooms, giant prawns, etc mmmmm... The views from the dining room is also nice cause the restaurant is located on top of a hill... You can easily pass the place up off of el camino, but you have to go and try at least once. Enjoy!

This place should be called The Van's Restaurant for the OVER the Hill. The food was pretty good...steaks are a good size..tasted great...GET YOUR FOOD TO GO!

Don't bother coming with a crowd(and I mean more than 4 people)...the old people around you will treat you like you have taken over their territory. What's worse is, since this place thrives on their business, you won't get fair treatment by Management either.

The view is overrated. Just a bunch of lights.

Not recommended.

OVERPRICED & TERRIBLE. Want to be ripped off? Want food that all tastes like it was cooked on the same grill? Want a salad that has brown lettuce and sour dressing? Want to pay 25 bucks for linguini jambalaya with overcooked linguini and jambalaya that tastes like they scooped it out of a dumpster? Want service from a college kid that is watching the clock and forgets everything you told her? Want the most overrated 4.5 star place on city search (at the time I read these reviews) south of San Francisco?

Then come here! It's a great place to throw away your money, have a miserable dining experience on frozen overpriced food and drink, with views of El Camino Real.

Best place to eat. I love this restaurant, I have been there twice since I found it first on 24hrlocator. Everyone is so nice and friendly there, great music on the weekends. I love the picture of Bobb McKittrick that they have posted on 24hrlocator dot com. Great job guys, keep up the good work
