Simply a great meal ! Tina's specialty is in Casual Classic American Meals. Keeping the strong rooted tradition of  simple, fresh and made to order home style comfort  meals (nothing GOURMET here, all just done Tina's way). The new location in Pinole serves breakfast, lunch, dinner and cocktails daily.

Tina's concept is a simple meal made of simple fresh ingredients. Tina has a shopper who hand picks her products.  She has spent 16 years picking her ingredients.  Because she insists on specific ingredients...she has found purveyors such as Sysco can not service her needs.  Fresh Produce is delivered daily and prepared for the days meals. Seafood is picked by her or one of her chefs for use in the weekend specials. Sauces and dressings are all made on site.  Tina Style may not be for everyone, but Tina's interpatation and creations tend to satisfy many.  If Tina style isn't for you ask, she'll try to get it as close to possible to your request.

Our team at Tina's Place has been honored with the 2012 ABC 7 Best of The A list "Best Traditional American",  2011 Women's Initiative " Woman Entrepreneur Of The Year",  2011 Best Of The Bay TV Kron 4 "Best American Restaurant", 2011 San Francisco Chronicles/SFGATE Best of the Bay List "Best Traditional American", 2010 Best of the Bay Viewers Choice Award on Kron Channel 4 ,  additionally  the San Francisco Chronicles/ SFGATE 2010 Best Breakfast & 2002 Business of the year. Tina was recognized by California State Senator Tom Torlakson for her charitable work in the  community. Tina's received the favorable review by East Bay Express Food Critic Johnathan Kauffman.
