FOOD// Loco Moco $24 was not good, rice was hard. It looked very sad. The patty was small and the portion of mac salad was even smaller. I feel like the Mac salad portion needed to be more than twice the amount they gave us. Tower Fries $18 were delicious! Tasted like upscale carne asada with a very generous portion of avocado. Fries were still crispy underneath all the toppings! Yum! Burger $23 was simple and yummy with the grilled onions. But, it was missing tomato and lettuce and a pickle. AMBIANCE// It's an upscale sports bar vibe with TVs at every angle. Also kid friendly they have coloring pages and crayons! SERVICE// It's okay, not bad, not great. Service was serviceable lol. I had to ask for a take out box more than once. But I liked that they had a giant carafe of water at each table. OVERALL// I would go back again but not often because I think it's pricey for what it is. Also parking was oddly tight.
This was my second time visiting Water Tower Kitchen. The first time was 4 years ago and for lunch. Today we called an audible and decided to go for brunch since we were at the Farmers Market. We were seated immediately in the patio area. Service was fantastic! Everyone was very focused, attentive, and on the ball. I was also impressed with their brunch menu. We don't eat out often for breakfast or brunch as we're just not interested in breakfast items at restaurants. But their brunch menu looked great. It had a fairly large selection. 3 words: Asian Chicken Salad. OMG I know some people don't understand how someone could actually order a salad and enjoy it. I am one of those people! I just love a good salad. But it has to be a GREAT salad to truly rave about it in a review. This salad was so good! The amount of dressing was perfect as well as the seasoning and flavor. The grilled chicken was cooked to perfection. And the crunch from the fried wontons and cashews were the star. I honestly couldn't stop eating it. John took a couple of bites and he agreed. I can't even stop thinking about it. Hint to John: Surprise me one day with this salad. You will get big points. Or this can be our new date trip--farmers market and lunch at Water Tower Kitchen.
Great Views & Fun Atmosphere I like this restaurant because you can look straight out at the historic water tower while you eat! It's a trendy, bright restaurant and sports bar with 19 big screens, so there's definitely a fun atmosphere. Restrooms: Decent, clean, and bright. Parking: Free, but limited within the complex. Service: Friendly and efficient, although a little slow. They also offer private event bookings on the second floor, with an open bar, bartender, and private waiter to accommodate the event. For our event, we had a pretty big spread: fruit platter, chicken wings, hummus platter with chickpea salad, marinated heirloom tomatoes, flatbreads and cucumber, pretzels with house honey mustard and beer cheese, tower fries, marinated steak, garlic noodles, mac and cheese buns, Asian chicken salad, garlic flank steak, and oven paprika chicken. The open bar was only $14 per person and included a selection of soda, juice, draft beer, wine, and sparkling wine. Pretty reasonable for a private event!
This place is lively and constantly buzzing, making it incredibly hard to get a reservation unless you plan well in advance. It is absolutely worth it, though! Our server was fantastic--so friendly and full of great beer suggestions and engaging conversation. . I also really appreciated that they have a solid selection of vegetarian options. Just make sure to secure your table early
Love the cocktails here - Cafee Al Pistachio strong recommend! Has a modern sports bar vibe with lots of screens making it a great place for weekend hangout. Quite spacious with lots of outdoor seating and also tables up the stairs. Made reservation via Yelp a couple of hours before our visit to Campbell Farmers Market. Can't for wrong with the food. Enjoyed the Spicy Fried Chicken Sando and WTK Fried Rice with Portuguese Sausage bits. Service was friendly and accommodating. The waitress understood we wanted to share the Sandwich and helped prepare it accordingly.
What a nice find as I was passing through the city. This restaurant had a nice interior and patio area. The food was very solid. My wife enjoyed the garlic noodles. My chicken sandwich was also good. I would have liked to have more of the aioli on it. Would love to return to try the cocktails.
Stopped in for a late lunch/ early dinner on a Saturday. They are a 49'ers bar as they have the memorabilia on display. The inside is modern and has a good vibe. It's more like an upscale sports bar. I specifically ordered the Cucumber Crush cocktail from their craft cocktail menu. It was very tasty and refreshing on a warm day. The garlic noodles were very flavorful and the shrimp was perfectly cooked. The service wasn't as awesome as I would have hoped with it not being so busy and there being plenty of staff running around. When I got done with my food and drink it took a long time for someone to ask if I needed a check or was done. I would likely choose to sit at the bar the next time I visit. I will be definitely be going back for another visit to try some more of the menu.
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.
Ben took care of us tonight, and he's helpful, polite, and attentive. Parking is hard in its own parking lot, but there is plenty of street parking and a garage nearby. We were seated outside and I did not get a chance to go to the inside. The outdoor is decorated with fake green plants and heat lamps are installed. It's comfortable. Some of the white chairs looked quite dirty, though. It was a birthday party with a white dress code, so I was a bit concerned. The cocktail menu is beautiful. We tried Butterfly Effect, Espresso Martini, Caffe Al Pistachio, and Thai Strawberry Thing. I found the Butterfly Effect refreshing, but I like my Espresso Martini the most because it's creamy and tasty. The alcohol bitterness was covered up well. If you like sweeter drinks, the Caffe Al Pistachio and Thai Strawberry Thing tasted like candy. The Caffe Al Pistachio did not look like the picture on the menu; there's no layer of pistachio foam on top. We ordered so much food! -Mexican Street Corn: nicely presented and tasted fine. It's a bit hard to cut into smaller pieces however. -Shrimp Ceviche: ok, good portion for a large party to share. The chopped shrimp was a bit too small for me. -Buffalo Cauliflower: Slightly like the Indian cauliflower dish but I love how chunky the cauliflower is and how soft the texture is. -Fried Chicken Sando: good sando, but hard to be bad with fried food. So it's a safe choice if you don't know what to order. -Loco Moco: We were asked how well we wanted the steak to be and our choice of egg; which seems strange to me to imagine having scrambled eggs on top. I like the dish in general; we doesn't like burger patty, eggs and gravy sauce. -Uncle Dave's Chili & Cornbread: Good chili, beany and tasty. The corn bread is also good in texture, dense but not crumbly. Any time there's an actual person's name on the dish picks up my curiosity and interest. -Jambalaya: The right amount of spiciness! The rice is soft, chewy and soaked up all the flavors. Good size and amount of shrimp. -Garlic Noodles with Salmon: The most popular dish on our table. Lots of chopped garlic making the noodles flavorful. Another safe choice if you don't know what to get. -Molten Chocolate Lava Cake: delicious, and the cake is baked just right. Soft in the inside, chocolaty and rich on the cake. -Ube Cheesecake: The most loved dessert with distinct ube flavor. -Churro Waffle: the waffles tasted chewy and it's a good portion with lots of fruit, ice cream, and chocolate sauce. It's a bit too sweet for me. The table provided forks and napkins but no knives. Some dishes came with a service spoon or knife, but we wish there were knives in the utensil holder so we can do more self help. One thing I am pleasantly surprised is the reasonable prices. Most entrees are under $20!
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!
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!
Great experience for date night! Great food and the service was absolutely fantastic! Strongly recommend
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.

At first glance, Water Tower Kitchen looks like a sports bar with TVs everywhere broadcasting the latest sports match. Take a closer look and you'll be charmed by WTK's open space, tasty bites, and delicious sips. We made a reservation for a baby shower brunch for 12 people. The process was quick and easy -- I just sent an email two weeks in advance and was booked right away. Our reservation was for 11AM, and some members of our party arrived a little before 11AM (which is also their opening time). They saw us lingering around the front door and kindly let us in to be seated early. Service is impeccable. Our server took great care of us and constantly checked in to make sure we were okay with drinks and orders. Plates were cleared in a timely manner and we always felt like our needs were met. Not always the case when you have a large party in a restaurant! Sangria & Rose Punch. We ordered a pitcher each of Rafa's Sangria and Lily's Rose Punch. I didn't partake in any (hello, baby bump), but the verdict was that both were tasty; the sangria had a fruitier taste than the rose punch. Endless Summer. Luckily for me, our server let me know that they can make any of their cocktails as a mocktail. I opted for Endless Summer and it was seriously like summer in a drink. The watermelon juice was so refreshing and delicious -- no artificial Jolly Rancher watermelon here. Chicken & Waffle. I was torn between ordering this or the Fried Chicken Sando, but I'm ultimately a sucker for chicken and waffles. (The hubby ended up with the sando, so best of both worlds!) The chicken was fried perfectly -- crispy and savory on the outside, juicy on the inside. I also appreciated that there was no bone for me to fight with and it was just pure meat. Paired with sweet maple syrup and a waffle is one of my ultimate comfort foods. We could definitely see ourselves returning to WTK! Everything about our experience was amazing, from the service to the food to the drinks. read more

We were walking at a nearby park with our dog and wanted to get lunch in the area. Decided on Water Tower Kitchen for the dog friendly patio- I was able to easily hop on Yelp and make a reservation for 5 people. The patio was nice and shaded, perfect for sunny hot weather in South Bay. Food was also really solid- I got the impossible burger, which came with herbed goat cheese and avocado, so delicious. I was able to sub out my side of fries for fresh fruit. Fruit sides can sometimes be hit or miss, but everyone in our group raved about the fruit here! So fresh and sweet, berries were all perfectly juicy. Definitely recommend as a lunch/brunch spot for anyone in the area. read more

Golden Tower Located in Downtown Campbell across from the iconic Campbell Water Tower--hence the name--at the location of the now defunct King's Head Pub (home of Mushy Peas!). The Water Tower Kitchen (WTK) continues on in the spirit of the old King's Head by serving classic American fare with a side of beer and great service. We were originally planning on going to a different restaurant, but it was packed, so we called an audible and ended up here. Which was fine with us because we'd been meaning to visit the WTK since they'd opened back in 2018. The Good: *The Mac and Cheese really is phenomenal and a must get. Trust me when I say we've had a *LOT* of terrible M&C but theirs was a pleasant surprise. Judging from the other reviews, they seem to be pretty consistent with it. *Fantastic and fast service. *Great outdoor area *Beer on-tap *Housemade fries are fantastic. Fresh, hot and the perfect amount of salt. I also appreciate that they're not completely peeled. *Carissa enjoyed her salad, which was chock full of the good stuff. *Adjacent to free parking, but it does fill up fast. The Meh: *Of the twelve beers on-tap, half of the selection are large macro brews (e.g., Sierra Nevada, Coors, Modelo, etc.) For a place that's going for a gastropub feel, I'd expect more of a selection, and/or mostly micro brews. The King's Head had sixteen beers on-tap. #JustSayin *Lamb Burger was a bit on the dry side, but the flavor was quite good. I didn't find it particularly gamey, as other reviewers had mentioned, but I'm not afraid of a little barnyard flavor. The Ugly: *Downtown Campbell is really turning into a shit-show of parking. We arrived for a fairly early dinner at 4:30 p.m. on a Friday and street parking was at a premium. Not WTK's fault, but just saying maybe plan to visit during the week when DT Campbell isn't quite as busy. TLDR: Good food and brews; great service and atmosphere; but lousy parking. We'll def be back, but probably on a Mon-Thu. read more

FLAVOR (4/5): Not the best brunch I've ever had. The French toast was thick and fluffy, chilaquiles without protein wasn't bad. The loco moco I've had much better. The macaroni salad wasn't tart enough. INSTAGRAM WORTHY (3/5): Didn't think they put enough fruit on the French toast. The deck is built out for outdoor dining which is nice. SERVICE (3/5): I've been a server myself for 5 years and know that it's the little things that matter if you want a good tip. Like perhaps hold the door for your customers while taking them outside to sit them and not let the door swing in their faces? Or seeing that our glasses of water were empty halfway through our meals and offering a refill? No doggy bowl of water was offered for our puppy either (we only dine outside and what sets apart good restaurants is that they'll ask). After our server checked on us once the food came out we didn't see her until the end of the meal. TAKEAWAYS: There's better places in the Bay for brunch. This place is mediocre at best. 3.5 stars. read more
Water Tower is one of my regular spots! The blackberry buck is my favorite drink. It's sweet but strong and so easy to drink. For appetizers I love the buffalo cauliflower. It comes to the table hot from the kitchen with the best buffalo sauce. I love that the Gilroy garlic shrimp and dipping the bread into the sauce. Sooo much deliciousness. The garlic bacon mac and cheese is amazing! It's a great size to share with a friend too so you can try more foods. Cortnie is the best bartender! read more

My friends and I booked a reservation on a Friday for 6 pm and it wasn't that busy when we came in so we probably could've walked in too at this time, although we did notice foot traffic picked up a little by the time we left. WTK is located downtown Campbell so parking can be tricky but they are located right in a small little lot next to A Bellagio. BUTTERFLY EFFECT(3.5/5): The drink itself is very pretty with the ombre effect and decoration but I wish this drink was stronger because I did not taste the alcohol at all. My friends also tried it and we all agreed it just tasted like juice. QUESO FUNDIDO(3/5): Pretty underwhelming, I'll pass on this next time. The queso had a lot of chili oil at the top which just tasted too greasy and salty and we ended up barely touching this. The chorizo was good but the portion of that was quite skimpy. TOWER FRIES(4/5): This is a perfect dish to share with others, my 2 friends and I devoured this pretty quickly. I like their fries here a lot, they weren't soggy and the perfect level of saltiness. This is your typical carne asada fries so you can't go wrong with it. CHICKEN STRIPS(4/5): Their chicken was surprisingly very juicy and the batter on the outside wasn't oily or anything which made this all the more enjoyable. It comes on a bed of fries and 3 sauces on the side. After sharing the appetizers, I found myself getting full after 1 strip since the portion is pretty big. My friends ordered the Lamb Burger and Beets & Greens Salad and they both enjoyed their dishes. We all paid around $50/person after tip which I think is pretty reasonable since we all got our own dish and cocktails as well as shared 2 appetizers. There was plenty of dining on both their top and bottom floor with plenty of screens with sports showing. Overall, I enjoyed my experience here and would come back if I was in the area. read more

Love love love Water Tower!! Wonderful food, service and ambiance here! I've been here a handful of times and I'm always satisfied with my experience. Definitely a go-to spot of mine in Downtown Campbell Tonight, I ordered the garlic noodles and an espresso martini. The garlic noodles were absolutely delicious and inexpensive ($13)! Great quality of food for the price, I'd definitely order these again. Another favorite of mine is the mushroom swiss burger. Our server, Andie, is the best! Very sweet, attentive, and came to check in on us multiple times while we were dining. This spot is the perfect place to watch a game - there's many TV's that always have sports on. Always looking forward to coming to Water Tower and highly recommend checking this place out! read more

I regret that I haven't tried WTK sooner. It is located in Downtown Campbell and they share a parking lot with A Bellagio but it definitely gets crowded especially during brunch and dinner. The restaurant itself is really cute and has a ton of tvs and a bar both upstairs and downstairs. I ate here twice in a span of three weeks and I enjoyed each time so much. Butterfly effect - Such a pretty drink! It leans more towards a juice so if you're looking for something stronger, probably would skip on this. Spicy marg - You can never go wrong with a spicy margarita. It was well balanced and not too strong but didn't taste like juice. It for sure made my drunchies come in just in time for our tower fries! Watermelon marg - I'm always hesitant in trying sugary alcohol because I get a headache, but the watermelon was very light and fragrant. Between the spicy marg water watermelon, I would choose the spicy marg though. It is nice they give you a nice slice of watermelon to eat though. Tower fries - Before coming here for the first time, my friend kept going on and on about how good the fries were and I can 100% agree with him! It is simply french fries with steak, guac, tomatoes, cotija cheese, and an orange sauce; however, you can really taste the quality in the ingredients. The fries were super crispy and the steak was tender and flavorful. Queso fundido - I had high expectations for this because I was such a fan of the queso fundido at Luna also in Campbell. Because of the chorizo, it was very oily and it became really hard to eat. There was more oil than the queso! Chicken strips + fries - My friend ordered this and I tried a piece of the chicken and it was actually super juicy. Throughout the meal, I was very surprised by the quality of the food at WTK. It came with barbeque, ketchup, and a spicy creamy sauce. Mushroom swiss burger - I ordered this for myself the first and second time I dined at WTK. Though the quality of the food here is amazing to say the least, the menu is not very varied, which I didn't mind, because the mushroom swiss burger is great and it comes with fries as well. The meat patty was seasoned and cooked perfectly to medium and almost melted in your mouth. I would order this and the tower fries over and over. I wonder if they change up their menu every now and then.. that would be awesome! My friends had the beet salad added steak and spicy fried chicken sando. I don't think I've ever had beet before this dining experience, but it was very fresh and the steak was super tender. I would definitely think it would be more expensive than what it was actually priced.The spicy fried chicken sando was huge! Unfortunately, it was a little too spicy for my friend whose tolerance isn't that high, so he shared half of my mushroom swiss burger. Overall, my experience here both times left me very happy and full. Just might have to stop by for brunch next time. read more

Came here for a graduation dinner for my cousin who graduated from Mt Pleasant (congratulations!). For 6 people, we shared the chicken tenders + fries and the buffalo cauliflower. It was a great appetizer, but i definitely would pass on the cauliflower and try another one next time (explore the menu some more). We got 3 hot chicken sandwich which i give a 3/5. I'm a little harsher on this rating because I've had better chicken sandwiches for less the price with a better taste. We also got the shrimp Angel hair pasta, which we enjoyed. The other people in our group got the angus beef sandwich, medium rare? Not sure because I don't personally eat beef but i saw that they enjoyed it! My uncle asked for extra mayo and ketchup for his sandwich and it looked pretty good. We got drinks also but in my opinion it was 50% ice and... that's not nice lol. Overall, come by and check it out. They have an outdoor sitting that's decorated nicely so definitely come through for the vibes. read more

Brunch @ @watertowerkitchen We got there around 12pm on a Saturday. The place was moderately busy, lots of sunlight and the staff were very friendly. The place did have an interesting smell to it, you could smell it from the parking lot and inside, smelled almost like soggy wood. The food was good! I had the French toast with scrambled eggs. He had the fried rice with bacon. Overall the food was good, the presentation of the food was. Solid 10/10, very beautiful and appetizing. Personally I felt the French toast to be a bit too sugary. I could only eat half. The fried rice was really good! Price: With tip, 2 people $40 so really good price for a nice brunch I would come back read more
I made reservations to celebrate my friend's birthday on a Saturday night via Yelp, and was easily able to book a table a day or two in advance. The reservations are only for the patio area, but the patio is beautiful! I loved the decor, abundance of fires/heaters, and social distancing. I found street parking about two blocks away from the restaurant as the lot itself was full upon approval. I'm not too familiar with Downtown Campbell, but assuming you can probably find a spot after circling around the surrounding roads. We decided to order family style, and get a few shareables instead of main dishes. We ordered the Tower Fries, Shrimp Ceviche, Garlic Bacon Mac & Cheese, and a Caesar Salad. This was more than enough food for two people as their portion sizes are big. The Shrimp Ceviche was a bit lacking, as a ceviche enthusiast. The shrimp did not taste fresh at all, and the chips served with the dish were very plain and lackluster. The ceviche consisted of cucumbers, shrimp, onion, tomatoes, and cilantro. The portion sizes of all the ingredients was a bit off for me, as there was too much cucumber in every bite. Additionally, I thought there needed to be more seasoning in both the chips and the ceviche. Overall, I would not recommend this dish. The Caesar Salad was great for $11! I thoroughly enjoyed the big shaved slices of parmesan, and the tiny garlic croutons. This was a great dish on the lighter side considering everything else was very carb-heavy. There was dressing coated perfectly on each piece of lettuce. Delicious! The Garlic Bacon Mac & Cheese was oh-so-goodness. The perfect elbow macaroni with bacon crisps and roasted bread crumbs makes for the perfect soft yet crunchy bite. I did find the cheese to be a bit strong and overpowering at times, but it was still great. I would order this again. The Tower Fries is what I came here for, because my friend loves loves loves fries. The presentation itself is obviously amazing and what sold me. The different colors of the green guacamole, red diced tomatoes, white sprinkle of cheeses, and the fries + skirt steak was to die for! I do have to say, I also thought this dish was a bit underwhelming and lacked taste. I would have wished everything was a tad bit saltier, as the guacamole and fries did not really have that savory finish. I think the concept is great, but maybe a tweak in the recipe would make this dish better. The fries are on the softer side, but maybe you can ask them to be well done? The steak was great, and I wish there was more! Definitely a very filling dish that could feed up to 4. Overall, I did enjoy my time at Water Tower Kitchen! I think I would come back and try a few different dishes, it can be considered a solid American joint with reasonable prices. Their dishes have great presentation, and there's definitely a few gems in the menu. read more
This is such a gem in Campbell! I have dined here a couple of times including a private party that was held upstairs - nice spacious area with a bar, area for a buffet station and tables. But this review is for a recent brunch dining my family and I did to celebrate my bro-in-law's birthday. We ordered and enjoyed the Shrimp Ceviche - my favorite! The spice is just right with fresh tomatoes and crunchy tortilla chips. Loco Moco - my other favorite! The beef patty is juicy, gravy is not too much that makes the rice soggy. Each elements of this dish balanced everything out. I do LOVE a good Loco Moco and this place makes it just right. Chicken and Waffles - both the kiddos and kids at hearts ordered a couple plates of this. Waffle is fluffy and not too sweet made with croissant bread, chicken is succulent and breading is light yet crunchy. Lavender Lemonade - sooo beautifully made and refreshing. We got a free dessert due to our birthday celebrant! The Molten Lava Chocolate was shared but honestly, I can finish this by myself. It is chocolatey and decadent. Great with the berries it was served with. We also got the Churro Waffle - kiddos devoured this! There were some minor issues that arise but nothing to be deducting stars about. We are in the thick of football season - one of the screens featuring a team my bro-in-law is a fan off (it's not our Niners so I will not name! haha) got changed and he respectfully requested for it to be changed back. It just took a while to do so. Also one of the servers accidentally knock out a glass on our table but they were apologetic and gave us a new drink. Nice photo-ops around, especially the very large Adirondack chair outside. I am hoping to be back soon with the fam. I am still thinking that Shrimp Ceviche! read more

There was a little switch up with the kitchen but I was offered a drink for free I definitely recommend this restaurant read more
Had dinner here on a weeknight with friends for the first time - the food was great and the service was also very good. The queso fundido and the loaded fries were excellent appetizers with plenty to share amongst 4 people. We would come back just for these two items! The chicken lettuce wraps came with huge pieces of perfectly grilled tenders that were nicely seasoned and served with lettuce leafs and two "dipping sauces" that were delicious. It was a nice twist from the typical lettuce cup dish where the chicken is chopped up. The Cobb salad was ... a Cobb salad (nothing to complain about - but nothing noteworthy). The only dish that was sorta "meh" was the Garlic Shrimp. But we quickly forgot about those when the two orders of Molten Chocolate cake hit the table. The place was busy for a weeknight and the music was a bit on the loud side. We will definitely be back. read more
- Loco Moco [an island classic, white rice topped with a black angus beef patty, 2 sunny side up eggs, and brown gravy substituted with fruits] ($16) - Acai Bowl [house blend acai, banana, strawberries, blueberries, granola, honey, and dark chocolate] ($15) - Avocado Toast [2 pieces of sourdough toast topped with sliced avocado, garlic, everything bagel spice and a poached egg] ($10) - Guava Mimosa ($8) water tower kitchen is definitely a really fun/cute brunch place. my friend and i randomly stumbled upon this spot about two years ago and that's when i had tried the loco moco -- however, my only complaint was the fact that the beef patty was a bit too fried/too dark. in terms of sauce and eggs, i feel like it was cooked to how i like it and it wasn't too overwhelming - making it the blend with the rice so yummy. for the guava mimosa -- i didnt really enjoy it too much since i didnt really taste the guava juice so i wouldn't recommend it for someone who enjoys sweeter drinks - potentially other juice flavors may taste better. when i came back recently i tried the acai bowl and avocado toast because i wanted something more refreshing and less heavy for breakfast. the acai bowl may look a bit small but there's actually a good serving proportion. combined with the avocado toast it was the perfect amount for me that day. id definitely will come back in the near future especially after trying the other items on the menu! if yall are in the area - make sure to stop by :") tip: kids/family/dates/friends friendly parking lot is a bit limited but there's street parking nearby indoor and outdoor seating available read more

Loving our brunch with mimosas after the farmers market. So much thanks to our wonderful server Beth. She was excellent and was most gracious when the bartender chose not to hand make our Bloody Mary's. We will still continue to enjoy brunch here. The bottle of champagne was most enjoyable! I loved my order of the Water Tower Breakfast... The WTK potatoes were out of this world. I have never had them before. I'll try to recreate them at home. read more

I am biased, but I have eaten here consistently for almost 6 years and love this place! Favorites: -Fried Chicken Sando -Tower Fries -Queso -Asian Chicken Salad (sub fried chicken) -Caesar salad w/ Blackened Chicken or Shrimp *Flautas are new on the menu and really good. Brunch is also equally delicious and available on Saturday and Sunday. Must try: -Fried Rice -Loco Moco -Chilaquiles (Spicy!!) -Breakfast Burrito (French fries instead of potatoes) -Waffles are a croissant waffle, salty and sweet. I've hosted multiple events from Baby Showers, birthdays, Celebrations of Life, even a Wedding! The space and catering options are great and the staff is always a pleasure to work with. AND- once a month they host a Boozy Bingo with Besties Boutique on their patio. They always have fun events going on, follow their instagram to stay up to date. :) read more
Came here to meet up coworkers. Parking is street & I swear I feel like I'm from SF because you actually have to park within the markers on the ground. Ex: I parked on the street near the stop sign, which I guess you don't in downtown Campbell. Anyways.. good luck with parking. There is a little lot in front of the restaurant but it gets filled fast. We sat in the patio and they have heated lamps! Inside is super cute. Okay onto the food and drinks. Drink: butterfly effect 5/5! Super pretty & tasted yummy. Shrimp ceviche: it was okay 3/5 Buffalo cauliflower: pretty yummy 4/5 Beet salad: murdered it. Delicious and big portion 5/5 Overall cute hangout spot or date spot. Lots of ig photo ops. read more
Came here for a game for the 1st time & I had a blast ! We sat outdoors since that was the only thing that was available when we made our reservations . The person we were in contact with for the reservation was excellent ! Great communication and was super prompt with all the questions we had . Thank you for going above and beyond ! We literally sat in the front for the game so that was a huge bonus! The burger I had was good ! The fries were amazing ! It was literally super crunchy and fresh ! Defintely coming back for that . The tower fries were also good . Fully loaded with asada , guac and the whole shabang. My favorite drink was the watermelon margarita ! 5/5 I ordered the Paloma but it wasn't my favorite. It was super bitter . Stick to the watermelon marg & you'll be set ! Can't wait to come back again and try the other drinks and food ! Defintely a cool place to hang out with friends. read more

3 stars for the food because honestly it wasn't great. The drink I had was super watered down. However they accommodated a large party pretty last minute. Food was also not amazing either not memorable. The presentation is nice. We ordered the lamb burger and the fried chicken sandwich. Neither was impressive. I tried my friend's lettuce wrap, also not great nor was the corn riblets. Service was fine and the vibe was fine but I'm a foodie so you gotta wow me with at least one dish or drink. Especially if you're on the pricier side. Again giving an extra star because we went for a birthday and it was last minute thing and they took us when no one else would. I don't see myself coming here again except if someone was hosting here. read more
Came for dinner on a Saturday at 6pm. Our group had reservations so we were immediately seated. Although they were busy, service was always friendly and very attentive the whole experience. We ordered quite a few drinks and for food, we went with Buffalo Cauliflower, Garlic Bacon Mac, Shrimp Ceviche, and Stacked Fries. Drinks were decent and food was pretty good. Great place to catch a game with friends. read more
I've driven by Water Tower Kitchen several times and never thought to step in til a sleepy weekend morning. It's got high ceilings with plenty of open space and a patio out back that was rented out for a private event that day. A bit unfortunate but they're incredibly dog friendly and allowed us to bring the doggo inside the restaurant and brought out a water bowl for her. Plenty of huge TVs with sports on display all around and a bar to suit the evening crowds. All this to say, the brunch food was quite decent and cooked perfectly well. 1. loco moco: classic Hawaiian breakfast flare of sausage, gravy, eggs, rice. We ate it all and whilst it's not the best I've had, it's still delicious. 2. Cali breakfast sandwich: this was SOOOOOO good. Every brunch place does this but whether it's the slight sear of the wrap or the somewhat smokey flavor of the chorizo, they've got this dish down pat. Absolutely a must. Prices were very appropriate and plenty of parking in the First Street Parking garage should there be insufficient parking out front. Will be back. read more
I really enjoyed this place! I came for brunch with 2 friends on a Sunday. There was luckily no wait which was surprising considering the crowd on a farmer's market day. Front staff & our waitress were super nice and welcoming. Loved the vibe that they offered and how attentive they were. I had the loco moco which was really good-meat was well-seasoned, not over cooked and paired well with the gravy and Mac salad. I cleared my plate! Had three drinks while I was here-a guava mimosa and 2 watermelon margaritas which were delicious, sweet, and pretty strong. Overall would definitely come back for more! Ambience is very cute and great for dates, friends, and family gatherings. There's plenty of seating both inside and outside. It's very clean with great music playing the whole time. There's a small parking lot, but also some street parking and garage parking nearby. read more

"Siri, restaurant serving breakfast near me..." Siri says, "Water Tower Kitchen, 1.2 miles..." After seeing the line at Uncle John's we opted to head elsewhere...Water Tower Kitchen was close by so we took the plunge (almost literally as it was pouring rain that day.) Parked close by, walked in to a smiling hostess who promptly took us to a table. There were only a few seats available and due to the crowd I found it very loud inside...some acoustic attention might be warranted to dampen the room. As I looked around I noticed the full bar, upstairs facility, and Spartan but attractive decor. So far so good. Waitress arrived with menus and I asked for coffee to which she replied, "We only have cold brew coffee, is that alright?" Wait, no hot coffee on a Sunday morning with cold winds blowing outside and dumping rain? My wife ordered an Arnold Palmer and I opted for the Jason Mamoa (not on the menu.) Our drinks were served and we ordered...she went for the avocado toast while I went more traditional...two eggs OM, sausage, sourdough toast. Food arrived...the avocado toast looked great and my meal while traditional, looked like 2 eggs OM, sausage, toast (they cut the crust off??? WTF, am I nine?) Everything tasted fine...no problems there. The waitress stopped by to check on us and my wife (who had been reading the menu more thoroughly, asked if they served Espresso since there was an Espresso Martini on the bar menu? The waitress replied, "No, they use a coffee flavoring for the drink." So will we be back? No...sadly, the no coffee followed by the prospect of an artificially flavored cocktail was a deal breaker. I make Espresso martini's with real espresso and 3 beans, I grind my own beans for coffee and make it by the cup for freshness and full flavor. Not into shortcuts...but I'll say that the Jason Mamoa was tasty, see pic below. read more

Went here for dinner today with couple of friends and really had a great! The vibe, the staff here, the drinks and the food, everything was amazing. For the drinks, we had the butterfly effect, Lilly's Rose Punch and the Bird of Paradise ( I think). Everyone enjoyed their drinks and they looked pretty too I see some mixed reviews lately from people about the drinks but we all actually enjoyed our drinks and didn't think they were diluted. Would definitely come again to try their weekend brunch. read more
