The atmosphere is cool, their drinks are delicious. However they are overpriced and the food is horrible. I would definitely not go there again unless it was just to drink even then it's a little too expensive. read more

It was average, the menu doesn't have that much of a selection. The service was good, they were quick getting our orders in and food out. Sitting outside was nice, I just probably would not return because of the lack of menu options. read more

We absolutely love this place. By far the best restaurant in downtown Campbell where everything is always consistent. We come here weekly and love it so much I had my baby shower here. Whenever family or friends are in town, this is where we bring them. The food is great and more importantly, always the same. They are consistent with everything they do so whatever you love will be the same the next time. Everyone here is friendly from the managers to the support staff. They take care of you, the kids and even the pups! There really isn't a restaurant that offers the ambiance that Water Tower does. Whether it's the beautiful covered and heated outdoor patio, the cool upstairs lounge style dining, the massive TVs throughout or the music, all of it sets a vibe. Some of our food faves: chicken strips, breakfast burrito, French toast, and the burgers are great. I highly recommend this place to anyone! read more

Love coming here! Great for the service, drinks, food and atmosphere. Our server was attentive, fun, and even gave us trip recommendations for an upcoming vacation. I ordered the ceviche and my friends got the club and Asian chicken salad. Food was fresh, and service was fast. They have a bunch of tvs inside for sports as well as a really nice outdoor seating area as well. They have a great cocktail menu too. Definitely check it out if you're in Campbell. read more

Servers were super friendly and the patio was lovely to sit at with friends. I thought the food was good but not amazing. Like 8.5/10. If you do visit, I recommend the fried chicken sandwich. The garlic fries were good but SOO strong. I'd recommend regular fries so you're not just tasting garlic. A great place for kind servers, a fun atmosphere and good food. read more

Food? No telling. Service? Complete and total failure. My kids said this was where they wanted to go for their birthday so I know they had been waiting awhile for this. Oh the disappointment. Well done, Watch Tower Kitchen. Well done. Hard to be anything but disappointed when you're seated outside early to beat the rush and they decide to forget that you're there. This was a dinner for my daughters' birthday and everyone had skipped lunch for an early dinner at their favorite joint. Oh well. I'm sure there's an excuse that works somewhere at some time... I wasn't interested. They weren't even busy and were able to take orders from folks that had just been seated rather than our table of four that had been waiting 30 minutes. Easy to lose a customer. It's really, really hard to keep a customer. Guess we'll find our next favorite and I hope y'all get treated better than us if you do choose to give them a try. read more

I ordered a burger to go and it was delicious! Came on a busy Friday evening and this restaurant is packed! There seems to be a lot of seating and friendly staff. I found my burger to my liking, soft firm buns, a generous patty with melted cheese with the works (lettuce, onions tomatoes and all) and served with fries. read more

Buffalo cauliflower bites and southwest chicken salad were both amazing and the service was great!

This is a nice place in downtown Campbell. Came here with my family to have a late lunch. We were greeting by a nice staff and sat outside in the patio area. It was exactly the type of place we wanted, good ambiance and kid friendly. Our waitress was very nice and the food didn't take long at all to come out. Everything we ordered tasted good although my wife did say her breakfast tacos were just missing something, like a sauce, and they would've been perfect. My Chicken sandwich was great, that pineapple coleslaw they put on it was amazing. The kids loved their waffles especially my son who got the croissant waffles. You know I had to take that dad tax from their plates and I loved the flavor for all of it. The only thing I would say is I wish they had more TVs outside to watch sports games. Would definitely recommend anyone to give this place a try! read more

We love Water Tower Kitchen! Not only have we eaten here a few times I but we even ordered food to-go and it was still great! Our first time here, we were in the area for an appointment and were trying to figure out what to eat for lunch. We noticed that Water Tower Kitchen had a lot of great reviews and was walking distance from where we were. It was a weekday so luckily it wasn't crazy busy. This place actually gets really busy on the weekends and is even busier when there's a sports game on. We were sat down right away and or order was taken a few minutes after. We ordered the artichoke and spinach crostini, downtown Mac and cheese, grilled cheese, and the burger. the artichoke and spinach crostini came out first and I was so surprised how delicious it was! The bread was a little crunchier than I preferred, but the artichoke and spinach topping was really good! I wasn't a fan of the Mac and cheese. It was the type with a bechamel so I think it just needed to be seasoned a little more. The grilled cheese was great! Very cheesy! The burger was really big and was also delicious. Another nice surprise was the fries that came with the burger and grilled cheese! They were nice and crispy. We ended up coming back and bringing some family with us and this time around, we ordered the chicken and waffle and the French toast. The French toast was super fluffy and soft but I think it could have used a little more vanilla in the batter. The chicken and waffle was really good, but I would suggest the chicken being seasoned a little more as well. Overall, we love coming here and I've actually ordered the artichoke and spinach crostini MULTIPLE times to-go! I order to-go a lot from here because the weekends get busy especially with the Farmer's Market on Sundays. Parking is a little tough as well. But we've continued to come back here and have always loved the different foods we've tried. read more

I had a great time meeting a friend for lunch here a few months ago. We sat upstairs and the service was good. The Espresso Martinis were delicious, and my chicken and waffles were good. I will definitely be back to try more items on their menu. read more

Such a cute and fun place to hang out! I've been here a few times previously and sat the patio but decided to sit indoors today. The servers are always attentive and really quick to respond. The food and drinks are reasonably priced and presentation is always top notch. My Asian Chicken Salad was so flavorful and really filling! Also love all the pretty cocktails they have here. A great spot overall to eat in Campbell. read more

When to the Watertower Kitchen last night for dinner with friends. WOW! What a great place! The food, service and vibe is fabulous! Big screens are all around so we could watch the Olympic games. Three of us had "The Burger" and one had the "The Smash Burger". Great presentation with the amazing fries (included) sitting in a miniture fry basket. The burgers were tall, juicy and very flavorful. Perfect! The Smash Burger was 2 smashed patties with chesse in between. My friend said the meat had seasoning on it she prefered wasn't there, but overall enjoyed it. The prices are quite reasonable compared to similar places. The wine list, though limited, was also reasonably priced with some good choices. Their mixed drink menu was impressive with some very creative selctions incuding a whisky menu. Our server, Chris, was spot on! He was a pleasure and helped push our dining experience over the top. Example: I asked to hold the raw onions on my burger and he asked if I'd prefer grilled onions! Wonderful! Totally attentive without being intrusive. Bonus: They offer special event catering on site with private dining upstairs. There was a group gathered there and I could see the buffet table. It looked like a great venue. I will certainly keep that in mind for the future. Would we return? ABSOLUTELY! I am already telling my friends about it. Can't wait to try other menu selections and more good times there. read more

I have been twice now, it's good. I have had the smash burger and the Philly cheesesteak, both were very good, very fresh. Service was great, the waitresses that I had were just attentive enough, very nice. Ambiance is nice, I its not too laud and it's not in your face. read more

Excellent food served as a buffet at a retirement party. Outdoor covered area was a good setup even though it started raining and was very windy that day. read more

We went there for retirement party for about 25 to 30 people.Our party was outside, even though it was cold and raining the heat lamps kept us warm. The appetizers and main entries were fabulous!! The coworker who organized the event had included drinks with our set menu. The assign server to our party was very friendly and attentive to our group. He made sure we never had a empty glass and kept area clean. If I ever have to organize a special event, I would not hesitate to have it at the Water Tower Kitchen. Food and service was five stars! read more

Great breakfast menu great drinks options our server was amazing. She really made us feel well taken care of. Very dog friendly we brought our dog and server offer a cup of water and options for his food that we didn't use it. Would definitely go back again great atmosphere outside. Haven't seen the inside. read more

People seem to like this place... I just don't get why. The food isn't bad, nor the service.. it's all fine... okayish. But the prices for what you get are insane in my opinion. And while I don't hold the establishment at fault for one bartender's goof, the thing that sticks in my mind was when I ordered a scotch on the rocks, and (like 18 min later - cuz yknow it's complicated) got a scant pour with ONE small fragment of ice floating in it like a boat at sea. what the hell? Is it more $$$ for ice or something? I dunno, it's just not for me. But I like to show up now and then, and gaze at the old rafters and walls of a once truly great bar from yesteryear - The King's Head - where a fella could get right by a proper whiskey. read more

Shout out to Harris who kicked ass on his second day of training during the playoffs!!! Me and my bf are vegetarians and wanted a Philly Cheesesteak with no meat but substitute it for a veggie patty. He went asked the kitchen who said the wouldn't be able to cause it's a softer patty that would turn into mush, but he hooked it up my giving us the veggie patties on the side and we were able to add it in ourselves. He was attentive and you can tell he cared about the customers and making sure they got what they wanted! I think he'll do great in his new gig and hopefully he gets a share of the tips during his training period cause he totally deserves them! His shift ended before we left and he made sure to come back to check-in, which was really nice of him. Bella took over his shift and she has also been great and had great things to say about Harris! The team at Water Tower is amazing! Rooting for you Harris!!!! read more

For a beer joint, I had higher expectation. But maybe it was not their aim. Came at 3pm, weekday, and asked for outdoor seating. They have this covered patio with powerful fan to counter the scorching sun. It was actually nice. The waitress came and took our order and everything went well. When she came checking in, we asked for a "fruity" beer and she recommended beer of the month. It turned out to be a sour-beer, and she never came checking in on how her recommendation fared. Well, I am not a sour beer person and expected it mentioned. It wasn't really "fruity" either. I complained to a bus person and she went check with the server. A minute later, she came back with another beer. The original server was no where to be seen. Later, she came to present the tab. I did mobile-pay and she just left with the machine on the table. Up till the time we got up to leave, she had not returned. Foods was decent. Artichoke and Spinach Crotini were delicious and filling. Brussel Sprout was on the sweet side, grilled quite nicely. read more

Surprisingly good meal considering how the place looks. The service was earnest and managed our large group as well as she could. The food was quite good and they were accommodating to changes. One star off because the music was SO LOUD. Like we couldn't hear each other. So despite it being decent, I wouldn't go if you wanted to hear your dining companions. read more

Food 3/5 Service 3/5 Ambiance 3/5 As a solo diner and sitting at the bar, I realize I sometimes may not get the best service. This place is definitely a "locals" spot and as someone who's here visiting and given a high recommendation from a friend, I was a bit disappointed. I don't drink so the bartender seemed a bit put off that I didn't order a drink. I ordered the blackened chicken and it was a okay. The chicken was a bit chewy and the dish was labeled as a spicy dish but there was really no spice to it at all. The roasted veggies and the mashed potatoes were pretty decent. I did order a dessert to go and got the waffle. It held up on my drive home and the gelato did stay frozen. I'm hoping that if you had table service and maybe dined with people who were more local to the area the experience would be better but I was a little let down. read more

I had a wonderful time, came here to celebrate my mom, it was our first time here, maybe next time we will opt for a more kid friendly environment. We came around d 2:30pm and seems like brunch gets nice and busy I will return for brunch a mimosas. Food was good and my did the cooks work fast, the came super fast, our server was friendly and nice, but I do think the bussers did most of our checking backs. But good overall. Drinks were really good. A bit pricey but it is campbell after all. And as long as they are good and fast I don't mind. Parties ofn6 get an automatic 20% Gratuity added, geese I remember when it was 18% The only reason I do 2 less star is because i got overcharged over 200 dlls , seems like they must have used my card to charge another table. I am hoping they will make it right soon. And I'll adjust my starts on Yelp. Before I have to dispute with my bank. Overall an Ok experience but I wouldn't recommend for groups with kids. Maybe girlfriendns and drinks and bites. read more

Been here quite a few times, food is amazing, they have indoor & outdoor seating. They have vegetarian options, which was very helpful when I went here with a friend who was vegetarian, especially so that it gave them options on what to eat. The staff are very sweet, attentive & quick. It is dog friendly for outdoor seating & big group friendly (I've mainly eaten outside and have experienced seeing big groups for outdoor seating, not too sure about indoors, but pretty positive they will accommodate for you). Upon entering the restaurant, restrooms are right on your right hand side. And it's also wheelchair accessible for both indoor & outdoor experiences. read more

Great local gastropub/sports bar/ event space in downtown Campbell within sight of the original water tower. Facility looks like a renovated olde timey building, when Campbell was its own thing and not part of the San Jose sprawl. There's upstairs a main floor tables, as well as well as a good sized outdoor eating area. Not a huge menu, but selections over a wide area of the food spectrum. Full bar offerings with a good selection of local craft beer, as well as good choices, imaginative NA and alcoholic cocktails. Chicken nuggets for the kids. I had the chili, others ordered various burgers on the menu. The crowd was definitely locals and pretty casual. Something for everyone here. Stop by for good meal. read more

This is such a good brunch spot. Their espresso martini is one of the best I've had. Went with a bunch of friends and service was great. Chicken and waffles, breakfast burrito, chilaquiles, and steak and eggs all got favorable reviews from everyone at the table. I love spots with concise brunch menus, cause you know each dish will be well taken care of. My only gripe was that they don't have sausage links as a side. Only a patty or a big linguica. That's just my own thing, however. I've been here during Sunday football - and it is the PLACE TO BE. read more

Water Tower Kitchen is right in downtown Campbell. The place is really nice, clean and modern (with a few deliberate splashes of classic decor). The service is really friendly and responsive. We got seating immediately upstairs which is a nice bar/loft area. The chicken Sando is pretty good. The chicken is well cooked and the bun is nicely toasted. Fries are good but the basket is pretty small. I think the chicken sandwich needs a bit more flavor. Maybe some pickles or fried onions? The southwest chicken salad was a bit disappointing. Everything was a bit dry and the dressing was more of a bbq sauce than a salad dressing. I'd definitely go back but probably get a different salad. read more

I've been loving coming here Thursday nights for three reasons, 1. the food and drinks, 2. Kendra, 3. Zach. I've been coming here for a few weeks and it never misses the mark. Casual dining, friendly staff, craft cocktails and overall just a great place to spend my time. The food speaks for itself and I've never been let down on their appetizers and for a main course you can't go wrong with the garlic noodles with shrimp!!! Thursday nights are extra special because I get to see my two favorites, Kendra and Zach. They always greet me with a smile and make me feel like family. If I'm having a good day or a bad day, they still smile and will talk to me like they've known me forever. They're always on the mark with food recommendations and ask me if i like what they suggested. It's a special thing I've noticed a lot of the staff here does with MULTIPLE customers. I'll continue to make this a regular stop for dinner or lunch. Water tower management, notice these two and Campbell, make sure this gem of a restaurant stays around. read more

Water Tower Kitchen - Drink menu. Cucumber crush with vodka instead of gin? SIGN ME UP!!! - New American Near Me - Campbell, California

Service is kind of meh, my waitress rarely came around to check up on us which was a small issue since they messed up my food and they took a while to bring the check. The food itself is also just meh, not really overpriced but the standard expensive restaurant price. However I will say the portions are very weird, the burger was a decent size but the chicken sandwich was small. Taste wise it's pretty good, like a little above standard restaurant quality. Overall it's like a 3.5 stars, kind of one and done location unless you're going for a special occasion. The prices to serving size and slightly below average customer service are what really holds this place back. read more

Some friends and I had dinner here recently and really enjoyed it. It was my first time there. I loved the decor of the restaurant. Loved the green velvet chairs and the live edge wood table we sat at. Looks like a nice outdoor patio too but it was too cold the night we were there. Our waitress was attentive. Even got us more pita for our hummus platter when we ran out. We shared the HUMMUS: organic hummus, Mediterranean chickpea salad, marinated heirloom tomatoes, lavash cracker, pesto, pita bread & cucumber. This was very flavorful. Lots of nice bits of goodness on top. For my entree, I had the CHICKEN LETTUCE WRAPS: house marinated chicken, romaine lettuce, pickled carrots, marinated cucumbers, cilantro, scallions, red bell peppers, watermelon radish, sweet chili soy sauce & peanut sauce GF. These were really tasty. Only complaint is the big pieces of chicken. Would have been nicer as smaller pieces. But the flavor was great. Lots of fun toppings to put in. Loved both sauces. Overall a nice entree. I also had their mule cocktail. This had a nice ginger bite. My friends had a variety of dishes, mostly the salads. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered. Service was good. The host even came outside with us to take a picture for us in their oversized Adirondack chair. Nice selfie moment. read more

Honestly the food didn't really hit but maybe I was just not in the right mood. My bf loved this place though so maybe this restaurant just isn't for me. The service was great but the food just wasn't good, even more so considering the price. The downtown Mac & cheese is just okay (2.5/5). It was dry and wasn't cheesy enough for my preference. We even got bacon bits added and that didn't help it. I've had better Mac and cheese at home and again for the price, this should have been better. Tower fries (3/5) was disappointing. This is nachos but fries version (and I think tortilla chips would have been better). Don't get me wrong--everything was good, but it was missing a lot of key ingredients that could make this way better. It didn't have crema or pickled jalapeños which imo would balance this out. The beef was all right but I would have preferred chicken. Maybe this just wasn't for me cuz I clearly wanted something else lol. Bf enjoyed this though so who knows. The burger (2/5) was bland. It was overcooked, dry, and didn't have much flavor. It had their homemade sauce apparently but I couldn't taste it at all. The ketchup helped it a lot and the homemade ranch that our waiter provided helped a TON. The garlic fries were a good sub for regular fries. For $20 it should have been better. I would have enjoyed my in-n-out burger more. Overall I'd be skeptical to come back here because i wasn't satisfied with my meal. I can see why everyone was talking about the ranch though cuz it's very good. Everything else was okay. They need to work on the burger cuz that was one of the worst ones I've had in a while. read more
