Good food and service. We tried the fish tacos and the Caesar salad. Nice selection of beers as well.Parking: There’s maybe around 5-6 spots right in front of the restaurant. Unclear if there are more spots close by.

It has a great American vibe and the fish tacos where really great! My friend got the meatloaf and that was also pretty tasty. The prices are reasonable and the whole experience was just goodParking: It had it own parking spots, when we were there it wasn't too busy

Loved the band on Friday night. Drink prices a bit steep, but that's to be expected. Seating should have been more thought out in order to be welcoming not to just the dinner crowd, but to have some small tables set out just for people coming early to see all the bands as the bar area seating limited and it was pouring rain on patio. Host doing dinner seating was a bit rude too when I asked if we could sit at smaller empty tables about an hour before dinner was over and opening bands were going to start. She just rudely said those are all for dinner guests people for bands can stand or find a seat at Bar which only has 5 seats.

Outstanding fries and a very good fried chicken sandwich. My friends said their shepherd pie was VG as well. Rustic room, big shared tables. San Francisco prices! Great place to grab a mouthful.Vegetarian options: All entrees with vegan options had a VG notation.

We happened upon this gem as we were heading home from Big Sur and needed a bite to eat. The atmosphere was unbeatable, highly recommend eating on their outside patio. The food was equally incredible and both our plates were wiped clean by the end of our meal. We would definitely come back for more!

I had so much fun drinking a beer and watching the raccoons running around in the trees when I was here. Also make sure to give Coco & Smokey a pat on the head if you see them wandering

My worst US experience, excellent hostess, however a subpar service and almost uneatable food.Btw. you should know when are out of the ordered meal, it's too late to say it when serving to the rest of the table where one has to wait almost another half an hour to get the meal.

This place was so unassuming, but we were so pleasantly surprised! The food was great and so was the beer selection. The outdoor patio has lots of fire warmers so you can enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

Great place to stop for food and a beverage on the Big Sur coast! The bar area was nice but we sat out on the back deck which had a wonderful view of nature and even some Redwoods. They had plenty of seating and the staff was very friendly. We had the pizza, which is a hand tossed thin crust, and it was fantastic. Would definitely come back here when in the area and did note that there is a campground on the property, which looked very nice, that might come into play when we are doing our next west coast swing.
