Water Tower Kitchen is a place we have been to many times, and we absolutely love it! The restaurant is bright and uplifting inside, the service is attentive, and every dish both looks and tastes fantastic. Our Mother's Day visit for brunch was wonderful, and it was a really nice touch that they gave a complimentary glass of champagne to every mother. My meal highlights were centered around their fantastic brunch foods, which are always a highlight whenever we go. If you are looking for a lively spot with great food, top-notch service, and a fantastic brunch menu in Campbell, it is a place we highly recommend! read more

Lovely place altho challenging to watch the World Cup soccer games. It had a pleasant vibe, laid back, and maybe a touch forgetful. While we were able to place our order and receive our meal quickly, it took us some hunting to check out and pay our bill. The nonalcoholic beverages were a touch too sweet as was the cheesecake. I do want to come back & try out their savory foods & beer. Perhaps not during a large sporting event though! read more

This was a great spot for a last minute client dinner when I was visiting a few months ago for the GTC conference. The staff was very friendly and managed to get 15 of us in at the last minute when nowhere else was able. The food was better than anticipated and generally the vibe was casual enough for a laid back dinner that didn't feel overtly stuffy. We very happily watched a baseball game, talked shop, and went home happy and full. read more

Let's start with parking: the parking lot was packed, had to drive to the parking garage down the street to park and walk over "honestly it's not a big deal unless it's raining" They have inside and outside seating available. The decor and tables, especially the soft seating is really nice. Kind of reminds me of a pub. The service is fast and efficient, maybe a little to fast "like they are in a hurry" otherwise the server's do a great job. I ordered the Loco moco, comes with rice, a hamburger patty, 2 fried eggs "sunny side up" macaroni, salad, and gravy. The server ask me how I wanted my burger cooked? I said medium rare. It came to me perfectly cooked at medium rare!! This was the first time I've had Loco Moco so I can't really compare it to others ... that being said, I'd order it again in a heart beat, it's so good!! Wifey ordered the salmon with succotash, she also was very happy with her meal. They give you plenty of food with your meal as well. read more

Great place to hang out with some delicious food and drinks! My watermelon margarita was so refreshing, it was the perfect drink for summer. They had a lot of other interesting cocktails that I'd like to try in the future. All of the food we got was sooo good. My absolute favorite was their ceviche. Our waiter Anthony let us sit upstairs (we were the only ones up there) and he always checked up on us. His exceptional attention to detail made our experience here even better. Will definitely come back! read more

Shocked I haven't written a review for Water Tower Kitchen yet! I used to come all the time before Covid and I can't believe it took me this long to come back! I always really enjoyed the food, drinks, and atmosphere. It's a fun and lively spot with lots of natural light. The menu isn't super expansive, but they have a decent number of items and also offer some healthier bites. We recently came here to watch a college football game, they had three big projector screens, playing different games, as well as more TVs around the walls playing the games as well. It looked like most games were on at least two tvs, which was great so you could see them from whichever side you were sitting on. We opted to sit upstairs so that we could spend more time and have a good view of the screen. To eat we got the Tower Fries, which came with skirt steak that was really good, I was very impressed with the cook on the steak. We got some cocktails then opted for a high noon bucket since we were going to be there for a while. Service was friendly and they checked in often to make sure we had everything we needed! read more

This was my first visit. The patio area is very nice and quiet enough you can actually have a conversation. Our server was good even with a full lunch crowd. I ordered the Loco Moco. The hamburger patty was raw on the inside but the outside was very very tough. I don't think it was even at room temperature. The gravy part had no favor at all which was disappointing. I also had a green salad that was swimming in dressing. Right after eating my stomach started acting up. Not sure if the salad caused the problem but it required a run to the bathroom. read more

3.5 stars not badddd for American food. Has its own parking lot but fills up fast. We got here on a Wed at 12 on the dot and was able to snag the last big table for a party of 5 in the covered outdoor area. Great customer service For American food it wasn't shabby. I wanted my tower fries. Pretty much carne asada fries. My Mac n cheese was basic as well. It was company paid lunch so I'm not complaining. Need to come back and try other items the next time I come back here with work. read more

Love the food and the ambience here. This review is about great service. Walked in with a group of 10 people, including 4 young kids without a reservation. They had a table for us and we were seated with minimal wait. We ordered drinks and food for the kids. Told our waiter to bring the kids food out as soon as it was ready. Our waiter provided us with coloring sheets and crayons. That kept the older 3 occupied. The toddler wanted to roam. The staff and guests were very accommodating to our wandering toddler and the various adults in our party that followed them around. The adult food order got behind a large take out order, according to the wait staff and kind of dribbled out to us. The restaurant ended up comping us a drink on the last entree to arrive and gave us 2 free desserts. Our party found this more than far. Great service. Good food. Nice ambience. Thanks Water Tower! read more

Been wanting to try out Water Tower Kitchen for a while and finally came here! I've now visited two times within a short span and it's been nothing but great, honestly no big complaints on my end. Service and food both times have been consistent. Parking here is a little tough if you come on a busy weekend but you can park on the street. They have plenty of inside seating with a bar, they also have an upstairs but haven't been up there just yet. For the food its a couple of steps above bar food. I've tried their pretzel which is super large enough to share for 4 people. It was very warm and the dough was soft. As for the entree, both times I've gotten the loco moco. From the patty to gravy to eggs and mac salad, it just hits the spot. It's more Americanized then your classic Hawaiian dish (I know Hawaii is in the U.S but you know what I mean). I tried the fries and they are super crispy and good so I might get a burger and fries next time I come back. read more

Came here and it did not disappoint! I ordered the lavender drink (so refreshing and not overly sweet), the miso salmon which was cooked perfectly and full of flavor, lettuce wraps that were super fresh, and the buffalo cauliflower bites that had the best crispy texture with just the right amount of kick. Everything tasted fresh and well-balanced. The vibe was relaxed and it's such a cute spot in Campbell. Definitely a place I'd come back to especially for that lavender drink again! read more

Date: Saturday, November 22nd, 2025 Time: 1:30pm Party of: 2 Meal: Brunch / Lunch Reservation Made Thru: Yelp a few weeks prior *Spicy Margarita ($16) *Mango Bliss ($7) *Croissant Waffle ($18) *Shrimp Ceviche ($18) *Tower Fries ($18) A girl friend and I decided to do a spa day of sorts nearby. Afterwards, we wanted food. I looked around and we picked Water Tower. I was already parked on the street so left my car there. (We were within walking distance.) My gf had parked in the lot and walked over earlier, so she left her car here. Basically parking is pretty easy here. One thing to note, they have TVs if you wanna watch sports. I always like know this when it's football / hockey / basketball season if I'm looking for a spot to go to during game time. We were sat in the dining room which had a TV we could watch. The spicy marg was light with a good amount of heat. I was driving so this was a good sipping cocktail. I really liked the croissant waffle. It was not too sweet, flaky, and crispy. The tower fries are a good staple. Good amount of toppings to make it substantial. The ceviche was all right. I could have skipped that. I wanted more citrus and freshness. But we wanted something savory to contrast the fries and the waffle. Cute place to grab brunch in Campbell. Note: They gave us a complimentary dessert / sweet treat which was much appreciated. A churro like waffle which was yummy. REVIEW #3924 read more

Great place for drinks and food with friends. Service was great, very attentive but not pushy and extremely accommodating. We had a stroller and they were fantastic about making space for it. A lot of good food options, everything sounds good so we had a hard time deciding. Ended up going with the hummus, the nacho fries, and the buffalo chicken. Everything was delicious. Planning to go back to try other things on the menu. They also have a great selection of nonalcoholic drinks and a killer beer list. read more

We went here after helping out a former coworker and I saw this place was in the area. I had the jambalaya with pasta, we also got burgers, loco moco, fries, and others. Drinks seemed good, people liked the mango bliss. The employees were friendly, one of my coworkers liked the sweater but they didn't make it and that seems like a missed opportunity for money and promotion. Nice vibes, cool place maybe will come back but it's a bit far for me. read more

Water Tower Kitchen was excellent all around. The service, food, and atmosphere were all on point. Reservations through Yelp was convenient, quick and easy From start to finish, everything felt well run and welcoming. We started with drinks and appetizers, and they did not disappoint. I ordered the Banana Negroni ($18) and it was perfectly balanced. Appetizers like the Mexican Street Corn ($11), Gilroy Garlic Shrimp ($17), Chicken Lettuce Wraps ($19), and Buffalo Cauliflower ($14) were delicious and great for sharing. For mains, there was something for everyone and every dish landed. Turkey Club ($19), Asian Chicken Salad ($18), Chili and Cornbread ($17), Philly Cheesesteak ($23), Baja Shrimp Salad ($29), and Loco Moco ($23) plates were all enjoyed with zero complaints. My Miso Salmon ($32) was cooked perfectly and full of flavor, the veggies were fresh and crispy, and the meal was very filling. Dessert wrapped things up nicely with the Ube Cheesecake ($10) and the Molten Chocolate Lava Cake ($10) both excellent. The drinks were on point, the appetizers were flavorful, and every main dish was well executed. Not a single complaint from the table. Highly recommend Water Tower Kitchen and would absolutely go back. Our server was great too. She was attentive, pleasant, and took her time with our large table. She checked in just the right amount. It's not my first time here and I won't be my last. It's a perfect spot for a group gathering. read more

The smash burgers were hands down the best part of the entire meal! They were packed with flavor, and the fries were just as good. The margaritas were a little mid for my taste, but the appetizers were delicious and definitely worth ordering. We also loved the dessert (because there's always room for dessert!). The whole place has a really cute aesthetic with cozy barnhouse vibes that make it a great spot to hang out. Overall, a fun experience, and I'd definitely come back just for those smash burgers and fries alone! Also loved our waitress! read more

I cannot thank you and your team enough for such a wonderful rehearsal dinner and welcome party on the patio. My sister, who set up, could not sing Water Tower Kitchen's praises enough. She was so impressed with everyone's willingness to meet her requests and address any challenges as they arose. As a former caterer, she has a keen eye for certain details and everything met her standards. I was so pleased upon our arrival. The food and service was fantastic as well. I am still getting compliments five days later. Planning from a distance was a challenge for me, especially since I am such a visual person. Your guidance leading up to the event was very reassuring to me, for which I am grateful. Thank you for helping kick off a great weekend! read more

Came here for Sunday brunch. They have a farmers market so be ready to look for parking. The place is nice, it has tvs with all the games on. The service is quick and helpful with a full bar for cocktails. I got the spicy chicken sandwich and it was tasty. With the Cole slaw, it balances out the spice perfectly. Would definitely come here again, great place for groups. read more

Honestly would give this place 2 stars but bumped it up to 3 for service. Kinda shocked that this place is rated so highly. Came here for brunch and waited 1.5 hrs for a table.. we did have a 10 person group but it didn't look super crowded and ai definitely don't think it was worth the wait. Food is soooo mid here. Came for brunch and got the breakfast sandwich .. needed salt or more aioli or both it was bland. Also got the croissant waffles , not warm or fluffy.. it was like literally like someone flattened a stale croissant . Didn't hold a candle to Bloom or any of the asian fusion croffles around the bay. The only thing they got right were the fries those were pretty good. We also got a breakfast coffee which was good but not worth 8 dollars. More gimmicky good than flavor good. It was our friends bday so they got him a molten lava cake and a shot which was nice. They also charged us for something we didn't order and then compensated us with a 40 dollar gift card which was also very nice! Prob won't come back of my own volition but staff was nice ! read more

Food: Shrimp Ceviche, Water Tower Breakfast, Tower Fries Price: $18, $17, $17 Overall: I came here to have brunch with my sister and cousin! We came around 11am and quickly got seated upstairs. After ordering, all the food came out pretty quickly. I shared the plates with my sister and cousin since everything was shareable. The Tower Fries were very good, had no expectations for it. We picked hash browns with the water tower breakfast but it came out not as crispy as we expected (maybe next time, we can order it to be extra crispy, if that is possible). The shrimp ceviche had a good few bites but it had an interesting aftertaste that I wasn't able to pinpoint. Despite the small things, I think Water Tower is great spot for the brunch mimosa and cocktails! read more

Was in the area with a couple friends. Saw this place had good reviews, so decided to check it out. Lots of options on the menu. Took almost twenty minutes to order. Workers just kept passing by our table. We ordered several items. Some really good, some really bad. We got the garlic noodles with shrimp. Best dish we had. The mac & cheese with bacon and garlic was good also. The Philly cheesesteak was very underwhelming. Do not get. Portions of meat and cheese were little and lacked flavor. My wife got the loco moco. This was the worst. She was served a very undercooked burger patty. Looked raw in some parts. We ended up sharing a desert. The churro waffle. It was really good. This place had its ups and downs, but the service, and undercooked burger patty brought the low rating. read more

This was surprisingly amazing ! I always dont have much expectations for sport bars but i was shocked. I got the Fried Rice and it was sooo sooo good. The Queso was amazing as well as the chicken and waffle. It is loud and will get chilly inside so if you're here only for the food, i would recommend sitting outside. The Turkey Club was a bit different than the usual Turkey Club. And the fries wasnt remarkable. But i will get the Fried Rice ten times again. read more

So when in town I like to visit Campbell and I been wanting to try this place out . It was around lunchtime kinda early during the day. Walking in this place is really open. I went to check out the second floor and it was really nice up there. They have a different bar area and more seating options . I love the decor. I like the green chairs. They have TVs on the walls for sports. They have a huge patio outside. Definitely a great space inside and out . The staff was all really nice and attentive I was trying to get the guys name but on my receipt, which is normally where I get the names of my waiters it said "AM BAR B" so thanks AM BAR B lol.. He was super nice .. I really enjoyed my drink I got the Butterfly Effect it was pretty looking and very tasty . All the food looked so delicious I had trouble deciding what to get. I did go by myself, so it made it even harder that I couldn't share with anyone . I was craving a salad and they have really good selections of salads. I ended up getting the Cali Cobb it was so delicious! I asked my waiter for different salad dressings, which he gave me a whole bunch after trying the Asian dressing now I have to go back for the Asian Salad next time. I also tried the Ube cheesecake it was so good . When I see anything Ube I have to try it . Overall this place really made an impression on me I had a great time on my solo date lol . The food was amazing I can't wait to go back and try more I been thinking about the food I want to try next . The staff was all super attentive and friendly. The ambiance was perfect . I highly recommend this place . Can't wait to go back !! read more

Wow. Amazing place that I would recommend to everyone. I was visiting San Jose and decided to stop by here with my family. Our host was Leilani and she was very sweet. Her smile is truly contagious and she is very friendly. The seating inside this restaurant was organized. It looked nice and made you feel comfortable. I hope Leilani is able to read this because she needs to know how much I appreciate her! Outstanding place! I hope to visit here very soon! read more

Came here with a larger party and was able to make reservations for a 10 person group which is nice since other brunch places didn't allow it. There are a bunch of TV's here so if you're here to catch a game, it's most likely going to be on. I ended up getting the downtown coffee (ube, vietnamese coffee and coconut milk) and the loco moco, sub fried rice for the white rice. The coffee was good, nice ube flavor, not super strong like regular vietnamese coffee. The loco moco had a huge burger patty, mac salad, eggs cooked how you want and rice. Definitely a filling brunch/breakfast meal so I would come hungry. Everyone at the table enjoyed their meals. Would definitely come back, only critique would be to have servers check in a bit more often. read more

Outdoor patio is a fantastic place to host a birthday dinner for friends and their adorable doggo. There's something for everyone on the menu and service is fantastic.

We've never heard of this place before, and decided to go because we had a gift card. The place is nice with semi-industrial look. It has two floors and plenty of TVs to watch sports. We ordered the following: (1) spicy Margarita (2) lager beer (by Del Cielo) (3) ceviche appetizer (4) buffalo style cauliflower appetizer (5) mushroom burger with garlic fries (6) blue cheese burger The experience was great and food/drinks were 10/10. My only issue were the obvious crumbs on two of the four velvet chairs - they were probably busy but just a small request to kindly clean off the chairs when wiping the table for next guests. I'm not going to knock it a star. I still give it 5 and will be back. read more

Wow! That's all I can say. The flavors in the spicy chicken sandwich, grilled chicken salad, and various salad dressings were phenomenal! You can tell they take pride in their cooking!

Cool, spacious vibe (at the high tops) and they have both downstairs and upstairs seating. Definitely will be back!! read more

Water Tower Kitchen - Butterfly cocktail - New American Near Me - Campbell, California

Water tower kitchen is a delicious lunch spot featuring American bar food. I've been to this restaurant several times and the team is always quick to seat us and provide service. The inside of the restaurant is clean and bright, and their patio is quiet and shaded. If I'm coming with one or two other people, I typically like to order a few things off the appetizer menu to share as our meal. Some of my favorites include the Mexican street corn, chicken lettuce wraps, and pretzel sticks. If I'm coming with a larger group, I'll typically order the downtown mac & cheese with bacon. I recently went for brunch for the first time and had the chicken and waffles. The chicken was very flavorful, but the waffle seemed to just be a croissant pressed in a waffle machine. Not what I expected, but still tasty. read more

I went to Water Tower Kitchen over the weekend for brunch. I didn't have the best experience with my meal, but I would be open to return and try something new in the future! The ambiance is really nice, the restaurant is spacious and decorated really well. The chairs are comfortable, and the tables are big enough to not feel pinched for space. I ordered the downtown coffee, which is a Vietnamese coffee with ube and coconut milk. It was okay - not as sweet as I hoped! I thought the flavor was unique though, and I liked that. The drink size was also large, so I was able to sip it throughout my meal. For my main, I got the avocado toast with scrambled eggs instead of poached and a side order of hashbrowns. This was very bad. Probably one of the worst I've ever had. The sourdough was incredibly chewy to the point of being tough to cut with a knife and eat. It really put the SOUR in sourdough - not the best taste either. The avocado was fine but bland as there was hardly any everything but the bagel seasoning on it and no salt on the table to correct it. The hashbrowns were good at first but became soggy very quickly. The eggs were fine! Service was great. We were able to be seated before our reservation too, which was nice. I just did not enjoy my meal at all, and for a $15 avocado toast, you would hope it tastes a lot better than this. read more

The food at Water Tower Kitchen was okay. The blue cheese burger was quite nice, but the fried chicken sandwich left a little to be desired. We ordered it in large part because of the pineapple slaw, but the pineapple flavor was basically nonexistent. Our friends ordered a couple things that they also weren't impressed with. On top of that, we got seated at an odd spot out front of the restaurant, and the waitress came by super infrequently. It took ages to get the menu for dessert and to get our check. I'm also not even convinced she split the check the way we requested. read more

Where do I start aside from I absolutely LOVE Water Tower?! And so do my friends and family. I have visited this restaurant sporadically over the years and they have been great every time. But, they absolutely SURPASSED great when we booked their patio for our baby shower a few weeks ago. Melissa, their Event Coordinator was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. She took on every single one of my questions (at all random hours,) requests, and changes with kindness and patience. She was always responsive and quick, which is super important for a frazzled, pregnant woman. Anthony, our designated bartender for the event was friendly, outgoing, and so amazing dealing with a more than average "rowdy" group. The service staff was on point the whole event, ensuring to pay attention to little details such as keeping the food fresh and replenished. We've received nothing but positive feedback from guests, from service to the tastiness of all the food options! We appreciated this experience so much that we'll be returning later this week to celebrate my son's graduation with our friends and family. Highly recommend Water Tower for any occasion- whether a quick brunch or dinner with an intimate group or a big celebratory occasion! read more
