For decades, MacArthur Park has been about bringing people together around outstanding California BBQ and comfort food in a casual yet elegant setting. You’ll find us nestled in the heart of downtown Palo Alto, and walk back in time in to the simple elegance of a bygone era in a dining room designed by Julia Morgan in 1918. We take traditional BBQ on a ride with the richness of California’s bounty, offering our signature Baby Back Ribs, fresh fish, meats and chicken, steak, unique salads and comfort food using local farm fresh produce. Portions are large, and there is something for every taste including vegan and vegetarian choices. Join us for cocktails and dining on our garden patio, nightly.

Always been a staple in PA but this venue is looking very tired & needs a refresh. The room is old & cold. The back patio needs some newness to it. The bathroom was also a bit of a mess. 1 stall flooding. The other stall door didn’t lock & not clean. Someone needs to go in there & revamp it -
