“Tried Mr. Beast Burger while staying at the SeaCliff Inn in Aptos. The only con is it was not at all obvious you went in to the hotel's restaurant Sevy's to get your food since it was a ghost kitchen. BUT, the food was delicious and fresh! Once I figured out the order, the food was very worth it. I am definitely going back. I wish I could just order it as sit down at Sevy's!!“

“Had the Castroville Scramble (3 eggs, artichoke hearts, tomatoes, onions, with home fried potatoes and Rye toast) and it was VERY VERY good! The service was great and food delivered promptly. there's a small outdoor dining area tgat was very nice even though it's in a very commercial/industrial part of town. A very pleasant dining surprise for hungry travellers!“

“Jack's has been around as long as I can remember. The best French Fries anywhere! Old fashioned burgers made to order the way you want them. Always fresh ingredients cooked to perfection. If burgers are not your thing try the chicken or salmon sandwiches. I've never had a bad meal here and always appreciate the excellent service.“

“Top of the line Food thats forsure“

“Absolutely the best crab sandwich I’ve ever had!

Seaside Fish and Chowder at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is a hidden gem that every seafood lover needs to visit. I stopped by on a whim and ended up having one of the most memorable meals of my trip.

Their crab sandwich is out of this world—sweet, fresh crab meat served on perfectly grilled sourdough from Sumano’s Bakery, crisped in butter until golden. The flavors were perfectly balanced, rich, and comforting without being heavy. You can taste the freshness.

The staff was friendly, the service was quick even with a crowd, and the location can’t be beat—right near the beach, with that classic Boardwalk vibe.

Highly recommend grabbing a crab sandwich (and maybe a bowl of chowder too!) and enjoying it while watching the waves. This place is a must-stop when you're in Santa Cruz!“

“The Habit in Watsonville is one of the best fast food spots in the area. The manager, Sara, and cashier, Maria, provide excellent customer service and always treat customers with respect and care. The food is consistently hot, salads are fresh, and well-prepared. The staff stays focused and professional, making sure orders are handled quickly and correctly rather than being distracted in the back like at some other places. Overall, the team runs a tight, efficient operation that shows pride in their work.
I would definitely recommend this location if you’re looking for great food and reliable service.“

“Ahh man, such a good place!!!
The food is so good! Every time we get breakfast burritos here I feel the need to right another review, it’s that good! Food is al says consistent, staff is always friendly and efficient. Ohh the smoothies they make fresh are also delicious!!“

“Best Philly Cheesesteak west of the Mississippi! They rock!!! Try an Apple Fritter too. They are killer!!!“

“Good breakfast place. Plenty of parking, in front and back lots. Good food, above average but not fantastic. Excellent coffee. Lots of servers, so service was good. Less expensive than comparable coffeeshops.\nBathrooms could use a deep cleaning and a brighter light.\nWe'll be back!“

“Everything is Delicious .. especially when you have Special Deals 🥰🍦Thank You“

“It was a good idea having KFC and A&W combined. I enjoyed having the choice between the two places or a little of both. I went with three chicken strips and a double cheeseburger combo. Both were hot and seemed really fresh. The chicken was super tender and the burger had a great flavor. The fries were also some of the best I've had in a while. They had a little seasoning on them which tasted really good. The restaurant doesn't have a lot of places to sit but even to go would be a great option. Definitely worth a try.“
