^^ boiling crab is BOMB but pretty pricey if you want any of the good stuff. Last time I went 3 of us spent a total of 135 (45 each) to cover a check around 110 with roughly 25 on tip.

 

Just read those reviews, I don't think I'll wanna wait an hour or more for food, lol.

 

I was there earlier. Best crabs i eaten in a long while. Definitely worth checking out during your stay.

 

I def need 2 places to go to, we're going to Winchester and Great America, so anywhere close in those places would be good. I just don't see waiting for hours and hours for food.

 

Mmmm Raw oysters. Next time I'm in SJ gotta hit up that place..

 

plenty of restaurants in downtown SJ... close enough to great america.

original joes, gordon beirsch (spelling?), the grill, mccormick, mortons, etc etc etc. all depends on what you want and your price range.

 

smoke eaters in sj downtown or Santa clara either or.
Iguana's next to the famous La Vics...both are good places to eat.
Henry's World Famous Hi-Life in downtown san jose behind the Arena...that place is delicious.
Chicago Pizza...love the deep dish pizza.
orig. joe's is good and has history.
if your in pho...im not an expert in the field but people always tell me go to pho#1 if you can it out there..but i am sure more people will comment on this

i have yet to try boiling crab but people rave about it.

 

gotta try boiling crab the shrimp is the bomb!, if anything get it togo!

awesome spicy vegetarian indian food.

 

Vegetarian ain't on the menu. I like meat with my diet.

 

You can bring some meat from elsewhere, and come for the tasty dosas
