Benicia -- casual Sunday lunch?

We're going to do the Carquinez -Benicia bridges loop tomorrow by bicycle, and I hope you might have a suggestion for lunch in Benicia. I've seen the description of Hula Hut, and we'll consider that, but I hope you can help out with some additional choices. Obviously nothing too fancy, but other than that, what's the best food to be found in Benicia for a Sunday lunch? Deli (Kinder's?), ethnic?

  1. I like First St. Cafe for brunch. Great sandwiches, salads, soups and dessert. They use Acme bread and most everything is made from scratch. My fave is the hot crab artichoke open face sandwich, very filling and big enough to share. The sandwich was featured in Bon Appetit magazine 2005.
    Also worth mentioning on First St.-
    Randy's, Issy's and Sandoval if you like Mexican.
    Matsuri for Japanese
    Sala Thai for Thai food

    1. re: ricebowl

      Thanks for the recs. I looked into both Sala Thai and Matsuri, and they look like they're worth checking out, but both are only open for lunch Tu-Fri (dinner Tu-Su). We're probably going to swing by First St. Cafe.

      1. re: Food Fiend

        Food Fiend, where did you end up going? I'm curious to know your feedback on First St. Cafe or anywhere else.
