WELCOME TO MACARTHUR PARK - An American BBQ Experience. Ribs and a whole lot more. MacArthur Park Restaurant, named after a Jimmy Webb song, has been a neighborhood favorite in Palo Alto since it first opened in 1981. Today's MacArthur Park has been reclaimed by its original owner and its original chef with a revitalized menu and a recent renovation of this historical landmark Julia Morgan building. Historical landmarks are permanent sign posts to a culture's community. This landmark has served the community in many incarnations: as a 1918 Hostess House for visiting families of World War I servicemen, as a community center, a veterans hall and now, once again, as the new MacArthur Park. Home is a place you love, and MacArthur Park is pleased to welcome the community back home with new dishes, old favorites and the warmest of hospitality.

November 17, 2018The specials here are amazing. I had the filet and it was simply delish. The bread was also great, traditional sourdough at its best. The service was decent and the dessert was alright. I’d go here again if I had the chance.

March 13, 2018Had a really nice Thanksgiving dinner there with my family. Although they were packed, the service was spot on and they kept the buffet dishes filled. Really enjoyable atmosphere. Parking was a little hard to find though. Here's a Tip: there is a company parking lot a couple of block behind MacPrk that used to be a post office in a 50's style building with a flagpole in front. After 5 it's ok to park there. They had a great dessert bar and the pic is of a couple of the ones we enjoyed.
