No happy hour for me here! But great service, ambiance and friendly patrons. $9 white claw but served with crushed ice and fruit. Really ought to update the search so people know about Happy Hour perks. read more

What a great Menu and a beautiful day in Downtown Campbell. The entry was a lil difficult to find if you haven't been here before. Our waitress was delightful during this busy mid morning early afternoon shift. We odered 2 cocktails and chips and salsa to start. I order a BLT club and fries which was a perfect choice for a day like today. They have a great varied menu with a good amount of options. We sat in the outdoor patio which was pretty lively. I certainly will be back to try more of the menu. read more

Had lunch today with friends and it was great ! I ordered the miso salmon and got a very nice plate with a generous portion of salmon which was well cooked and very tasty . Also came with some corn and rice which was great . Will give this place a try again for sure read more

We met friends and had good expectations of what this cute little restaurant would provide after reading the reviews, I would say the tables enjoyed their cocktails. I enjoyed a strawberry lemonade. But the food comparatively to what the greater San Jose area has to offer was lacking. Two had a Loco moco supposedly the patty was cooked to order, but both complained, It was a little tough and overcooked. I was told the fried rice was exceptional so I got that. The eggs were a little gooey on top and it seemed like they made up flavor within an abundance of salt. I wouldn't return and that's just our opinion. Service was really good read more

did you know they allow dogs inside? bc I didn't LOL anyways the tables are a lil closer together inside so I don't really recommend that if your dogs are easily distracted like mine is food was pretty normal (didn't get anything new this time - refer to my previous reviews for individual food ratings lol) 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

Love this place- it's pretty solid. Food is always good, drinks are delish, and service is great. Love the ambiance too!

came here for new year's day lunch/brunch, we all enjoyed the food, service and the atmosphere! i got a breakfast burrito with chorizo, it was good except no chorizo flavor at all. it would have made the burrito much better. tower fries were good but i wish the guacamole was a little less sour tho. everything else was solid (but not particularly outstanding). i would def return to try other stuff! the service also made a difference as we sat around after we paid to chit chat some more and our server never rushed us. she also checked on us a few times during meal, great attitude also! forgot to ask her name :/ read more

The inside is decorated nicely, but we sat outside, which is a really nice option on a warm day. They have a good selection of menu items. We got the Mac and cheese and chicken tenders and thought they were both pretty good. We also got a couple of cocktails. The espresso martinis were awful though, so we had to send them back. I'm not sure what they did wrong... maybe too much "agave" is what we were told. The reason for the low rating, however, was the service. While our server was nice and attentive, he customer serviced us an excessive amount of times. We realized it was probably due to an event they needed to kick us out of the patio for and the way in which that was handled (not by our server) was very rude. The guy clapped his hands and was like "okay ladies we either need to move you to a different spot or xyz" but the way in which he clapped his hands and handled us said "you gotta leave". We did leave because we were finished but we left feeling bothered by how that was handled. My husband suggested going to watch the game there just now and I informed him because the guy was so rude, that I'll not be coming back. read more

Visited on a Saturday afternoon for brunch and was surprised it was not busy at all! My party of 4 and I were sat right away. There was an event going on nearby resulting in the parking lot being full capacity, so I would suggest parking across the street or find street parking if this is the case for your visit as well. The atmosphere of the restaurant gave a very industrial feel, with a cute loft that provided more seating + a bar that opens for busier days. The food came out really fast and everything was delicious and fresh, especially the shrimp ceviche! The açaí bowl was refreshing, croissant waffle was soft and provided the perfect amount of sweetness, and the tower fries were super flavorful. My party and I also ordered a pitcher of the Lily's Rose Punch and that gave us a drink and a half for all four of us which was perfect. We did find a piece of plastic in our acai bowl but honestly didn't make too much of a fuss about it.. we just brought it to our servers attention for the sake of other customers potentially receiving the same piece of plastic in their acai bowls and they were nice enough to take it off our bill. Regardless of that, I will still be coming back because the food, service, and overall vibe of the place was great. Definitely a perfect spot to catch up w friends or family. I have to try the desserts next time! read more

Our first time at Water Tower Kitchen, despite passing it many times during visits to Downtown Campbell. We were seated right away, with our indoor seating request honored from the reservation. It was tough to decide what to order due to the sheer amount of tempting options, but we settled on the boneless wings as a starter. One companion in my group had the watermelon margarita, which they enjoyed very much. My other companion ordered a mocktail off the menu, but the bar had run out. Our server, Rafa, immediately took care of the situation, as they were out of his first choice, and he had the bartender whip up an incredible custom mocktail. (We don't take pictures of food, but this drink was so good and beautifully presented that it warranted an exception to the rule.) Right away, I knew Rafa was looking out for us and that we were in good hands. The boneless wings came out quickly and were enjoyed by all. The brining really makes a big difference in tenderness, and they were juicy and crunchy, with the sauce at the perfect spicy level. Our entrees came out next. My companion had the WTK fried rice and was delighted with the balance of flavors and presentation. My other companion had the regular fried chicken sandwich and enjoyed it thoroughly. he also commented on how crispy the home style fries were. I had the spicy chicken sandwich, and it was perfect. The pineapple coleslaw really elevated the flavor profile and added a nice balance from the spiciness of the sauce. We shared a molten chocolate cake for dessert, and it was the perfect sweet ending to our meal. Hats off to the team, and especially Rafa for his good-natured humor and attentive service. The meal was so good that one of my companions exclaimed, "This is my new favorite restaurant, and I'd like to have my next birthday celebration here." Rafa provided all the details about their services for larger parties, and we'll be back very soon. All in all, a gem in the crowd and competitive Downtown Campbell restaurant scene, and at this point, the clear leader and favorite! read more

Great service, excellent alcohol and food, and since Father's Day was same time as the World Cup game atmosphere was excellent? 10 stars!

We have been here soooo many times. I'm sorry I haven't reviewed it yet. First - the staff - They are amazing. Always on top of things. The food - incredible. The Gilroy Garlic Shrimp is so delicious. But it has the garlic bite! Perfect. They have a great selection of beverages both alcoholic and non alcoholic. They also are a community partner with proceeds from their beer of the month benefiting local youth programs. How great Is that! Nice patio and tvs inside and out for all your sports needs! A must when visiting Campbell. read more

We love WTK for large group on the patio. Food is delicious, service is attentive, and the patio is a fine spot for alfresco dining.

Indoor and outdoor (shaded) seating with excellent customer service. Don't remember the name of the young man who helped us but he had curly hair and has a bright future in customer service if he continues with that! The garlic noodles were VERY garlicky. They were good but I needed a palate cleanser while eating these. Good for groups as lots of big tables and a bustling vibe. I could imagine parking can be tough during busy hours but its nice there have the parking lot. read more

Wonderful place for elevated sports bar/pub food with friendly service, airy decor and good parking. I've been to a lot of restaurants in Campbell and only recently discovered this one. I am looking forward to a return visit, soon! read more

We're local to Campbell and have visited Water Tower several times, always enjoying the food. This review is specifically for a graduation event we hosted in their upstairs lounge. I arrived an hour early to decorate and was greeted by Nick, one of the owners, along with a young boy. He was the sweetest little guy and even helped me with some decorations! Our bartender, Alyssa, was PHENOMENAL and kept up with our group's orders effortlessly. Sarah, our server, was equally AWESOME! The food came out right on schedule, and everything was delicious. I was especially happy to bring home the leftover jambalaya! Our event was coordinated by Melissa, who patiently kept up with my 200 questions leading up to the event and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Thank you all for helping make our celebration so special. We'll definitely be back again soon! read more

I came on a Saturday afternoon and luckily there was no wait. We were immediately seated in the outdoor patio. There were a lot of tables inside the pack, I can definitely see this place getting packed on a busy night. To start I ordered a Lily Rose Punch cocktail which was so delicious, it tasted like juice. I got the WTK fried rice and the buffalo cauliflower. The portions were great sharing sizes. The cauliflower had a nice breading and strong buffalo taste. I really enjoyed it as an appetizer. The fried rice was very flavorful and had some bacon bits in it. I thought it was delicious and hearty. The weather was nice and the outdoor patio was great. I saw some folks with their dogs so this place is dog friendly! I'll definitely come back again with my friends. read more

Such a good place for date night or a dinner and drinks with friends. While parking is a bit of a hassle, getting seated is not. We made a reservation on Yelp and were seated as soon as we arrived. They have indoor and patio seating, we chose the patio. The food came out quick and was super good! The burger was well done and the fries were extra crispy. My paloma was refreshing and very well made (aka heavy pour). The staff was super helpful and attentive, and the environment was great for a Friday night 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

I came here based upon the 4.5 stars Yelp reviews. I am dissapointed with the Food. The food here is mediocre. I had a Smash Burger. It was dry & overcooked. The salad came out of a bag. I've had better burgers at In N Out & Super Duper Burgers. I won't be back to this place. Also service was poor. No refills on drinks. No condiments offered. It's the same bad food served at Kingshead Pub ( the former tenant in this space). read more

My husband and I were staying in Campbell for the weekend and decided to meet up with our friends and their family for brunch. Our friends had heard about Water Tower Kitchen and we decided to to meet there. We were able to park conveniently in the lot directly in front of the restaurant. We didn't have reservations, but were seated immediately on the patio. The patio was comfortable, with fun music playing and several heaters to keep us warm on a January day. The patio was family and dog friendly. I had looked at the menu online before we had decided on the restaurant, but hadn't realized that we were there for the brunch only menu. When I saw the menu online, there salad options that were not included in the brunch menu. I felt that the menu we had to choose from was pretty limited. Service wasn't the best, but everyone who worked there was really friendly. Our server filled the waters, but was one glass short and didn't seem to notice that he had missed a member of our party. Later when he came to take the orders, he forgot to take the order from that same person. It took a little time, but we were able to remedy the situation. As I was unable to order the menu item that I had seen online, I chose the avocado toast, as it seemed to be one of the few healthier things on the menu. I didn't try any of the cocktails, but some of our party enjoyed beer and mocktails. When our food came, the avocado toast was really delicious. It had perfectly cooked eggs that were beautifully runny and added a lot of flavor to the toast. I also liked the everything bagel seasonings. My husband chose the breakfast sand that he said he enjoyed. The service was better once we finally had gotten our order in. I actually really enjoyed my meal and the comfortable patio seating. The rest of our group was happy as well. It turned out to be a great place to visit with friends in a relaxed environment. If I lived nearby, I would made this place a regular stop, but I might come other times of day to try items that are on the regular (non-brunch) menu. read more

Had an excellent Sunday afternoon game day here! We made a reservation in advance and got a great table, where we could see all the TVs/games. There were a lot of other football fans with the same plan as us, which made watching the games fun. The food was great, they had a lot of great options for sharing. The Mac and cheese is a must order! The drinks were also great and our waitress was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. If you're looking for a spot to watch sports games with friends/a group- water tower is your spot! I highly recommend making a reservation in advance as it gets pretty busy on game days. 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

We sat in the nice shaded outdoor patio on a warm day. Buffalo cauliflower was a bit soggy, beet salad was huge and filling and colorful, garlic noodles were delicious. The cheese and artichoke crostinis are a good appetizer to share but can be heavy due to the cheese. The lavender butterfly pea lemonade was sweet and refreshing! Service was good, staff were friendly. read more

Love this place! Totally thought I reviewed this before... Been here 3 times now and each time is better than the last. I tried the jambalaya, chili with cornbread (my favorite so far), chicken tenders and street corn. As a few said, the ambience in here is great! They also don't kick you out or pressure you to free up a table it's a nice catch up with an old friend spot. Their cheesecake is good too. read more

Because restaurants in Campbell are usually not crowded on weekdays at 5pm, I did not bother to make a reservation at this restaurant, which I had never tried, but upon arrival I was met at the door by an aggressively rude employee who informed me that the entire place was closed for a private event. I apologized but he was DONE with me simply for showing up without checking ahead. Because the restaurant hires people like him, there's zero chance I will ever return. read more

This place was hopping when we arrived. There was game on and Oktoberfest had just wrapped up. The venue was packed. We had reservations but came early for drinks. They seated us early since we were already there. It was outside, which was pretty nice. They had a ton of tables set up. Our service staff were all polite and friendly. The food was delicious and very good portions. I ordered the Blackened chicken with mash potatos and veggies. The mango mocktail was a bit too sweet for me but overall was okay. My friend enjoyed her salad wrap too. I enjoyed our night here and would come again. Maybe at a less noisy time or day when there wasn't so much going on. read more

I invited my daughter and her husband to go to dinner. We ordered Salmon, salad and yummy drinks. The atmosphere is amazing and the the customer service was great Sydney our hostess did a wonderful job and we couldn't have been happier The owner Nick is a very caring person and had a thriving business. Great for small to large events. They even do Weddings and events. read more

Came to Water Tower Kitchen for a friend's belated birthday. We got: -Buffalo Cauliflower -Fried Chicken Sando -Chilaquiles The Buffalo Cauliflower was wild - like it literally tasted like chicken wings...but it wasn't . Would highly recommend! The Fried Chicken Sando was delicious and would for sure re-order. The only meh thing was the Chilaquiles - it was a bit too soggy for me. Service was great! Our server was attentive and I loved the vibe of the place. It feels like a great place to bring a big group of friends and I am excited to come back! 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

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

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

Really loved the food here! Stopped by for lunch and was greeted with great service, cozy ambiance, and a solid meal! The chicken sando was juicy and perfectly cooked. It was crispy and was topped with a sweet pineapple coleslaw which paired nicely with the aioli. The fries were some of the best I've ever had-- they were thick and crispy! The chili had good flavor-- it was a little bland and lacked some kick I was looking for. On the other hand, the cornbread was amazing and the addition of the honey butter made it top tier. Shrimp ceviche was very refreshing. It was very sour and had a strong vinegar flavor-- if you're into that, I would recommend this dish! Hummus was as expected; nothing too special. The lava cake was phenomenal-- the ice cream, fruit, and whipped cream combo with the gooey chocolate was really delicious. Great place to stop by and have a meal with friends and family, would recommend! read more

Food was very good. Service was excellent. Sounds like a 5, right? No, sounds like a busy railroad switching station, or a very noisy steel factory! Has what has been described as a "semi-industrial" atmosphere. No, it's just like the floor of a steel mill. Went there to talk with my daughter. Couldn't hear her across the table. No question that prolonged exposure (employees) will bring harm to hearing later on. Will not go back. But many young people will. For some reason they like that factory atmosphere. I go out to dinner for a special experience, not to relive my early jobs. 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

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
