Came with a group of 15. They easily and happily accommodated us. They were friendly, orders came out quick. The food.....yes, the food. I ordered the chilaquiles (green salsa), with over medium eggs on top and a side of hash browns. Sooo so bomb. Authentic flavor. Full plate of food. Lots of value compared to the price. I wouldve taken a picture but the food looked too good and i couldn't help myself from digging right in until all that was left was the plate. So sorry about not taking a picture but take my word for it. My bro who ordered something else leaned over and said that looks so good and next time hes here hes gunna order the chilaquiles but honestly everyones food looked good and i heard zero complaints. They were accommodating to my bro that has a gluten allergy too but making his french toast with sourdough. Not from Salinas but if im nearby, ill most definitely return. Thanks to the staff and my compliments to the chef. You guys a great!

This was a chance encounter. Had extra time and this place was the closest to us at the moment. The customer service here is welcoming and friendly! Not sure if this is a family owned restaurant but those were the vibes it was giving. I liked the oj and my omelette with bacon in it was average. I think the bacon should've been cooked more crispy and it have less fat in it. The country potatoes were well cooked and seasoned. Overall we would probably come back due to it being a comfortable ambiance with plenty of seating and not too busy

On a road trip again . Found this place and really glad we did. The service is fantastic, food is even better. Nice and easy on the ears, not noisy. Will definitely be back when in the area.

My daughter said it's her "Top 5 restaurant" that she's been to. We had the burger, pancakes, and popcorn shrimp, and clam chowder. It served two adults and two kids.

I had the chilaquiles (green) and they were super good, not too spicy. Our server was really attentive and kind. The amount of time it took for them to bring out the food was SO QUICK. Will be trying more of their food again soon.

First time here and it was so delicious. I got the fettuccine and the flavor was so good. My boyfriend got the tri tip sandwich and also really enjoyed it. The woman who took our order, I believe was the owner, was so so sweet which made this place so much better!

I was very happy with the staff. Answered all my questions and got me exactly what I wanted. I even met the owners. My breakfast was simple. Eggs over easy. Toast Bacon. Some places have trouble doing the simple things right. No place to hide. Each item delicious and cooked right.

My favorite place to eat when I come to Salinas! (And that's saying a lot because their are a lot of good places to eat in this town). Where to begin ... I feel like just taking a picture of the menu and inserting it here because EVERYTHING here is so good! But my favorites - the steak salad and the tri tip sandwich. I order both and then take the leftovers home. In addition to the excellent food there is the impeccable service. Gabby and Joe always make you feel like a member of the family - with their warm and loving energy and expert service. This appears to be the best kept local secret - I would say don't spread the word - but I don't want them to close due to lack of business. So come on Salinas - stop in for a bite, they are open everyday for breakfast, lunch and dinner...and they are the best in town!
