Restaurants in Cambria

“Amazing Ribeye! Potatoes were out of this world.”

“A veritable dining institution in Cambria, you simply must make time to wait in line and dine at one of the best sea food restaurants in the state. And wait in line you certainly will, there is an incredible line outside of this restaurant every single night, show up 1-2 hours early and get in line, the best experience is sitting at the Oyster bar, chatting with the chefs and watching them work their culinary magic. The food is outstanding both in seasoning and cooked to perfection. We had the fried calamari as an appetizer, the petrole sole and the halibut, everything tasted great and was well apportioned. There is a reason that people are willing to wait 2+ hours for this dining experience. Staff are universally friendly and charasmatic. I cannot recommend enough that you take the time to enjoy this dining destination.”

“The food was only outdone by the atmosphere and awesome owners ! Jesus and his family work hard to give you a fantastic meal with an amazing view. When you’re in the area , stop by and you’ll thank me later. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽”

“Good food. Always make sure we visit when we are in Cambria. Burritos come in 3 sizes so you can satisfy your hunger”

“Everything is great Pizza 🍕 good”

“Robin’s is phenomenal on so many levels. The cuisine is out of this world with so much variety. The team is extremely kind, professional, knowledgeable & fun. The ambience is absolutely stunning and so peaceful. The music is fun & uplifting. To top it off, Shanny, the owner, is a leader in contributing to worthy causes. She always generously donates food, time & heart to those in need of support. Even the fire in SO Cal. We love her!”

“Found this restaurant with a Google search and noticed reviews were hit-or-miss, so we took a chance to see where it landed...for a birthday event.
Between the halibut and stuffed chicken, we were at 50%. We ended up swapping meals to see if one was more palatable. The stuffed chicken, which was recommended by others, was overdone. I ended up with it having originally ordered the halibut. The chicken also had blue cheese in the stuffing, which isn't my favorite. The server nicely discounted the stuffed chicken as the ends were too chewy to eat.
The halibut was a bit salty but was cooked nicely and gad giid flavor. The sides were ok but with a little TLC, it could have been better.
The dessert, a flour-free, chocolate cake, was kind of average but was free for the birthday celebration.
The location is convenient at the end of downtown and the ambiance is nice. The server was very accommodating and friendly.
Unfortunately it wasn't a successful event.”

“Stopped in for a tasting and couldn't be happier with the decision. Andy showed incredible knowledge and hospitality making our visit a wonderful stop on our way through Cambria. Lovely selection and wonderful atmosphere, highly recommend.”

“Yummy food! Get the weirdo waffle!”

“We love this place! The staff is so friendly, the food is great, and the bakery is awesome! My husband loves the chicken fried steak but I highly recommend either the avacado toast or the roasted vegetables with polenta. Don't leave without trying the olallieberry cream puff, yum!”

“Wonderful store, knowledgeable staff. The store is full of so many good treasures. The teas taste soo good. We left the store with new tea mugs, delicious teas & honey, bath bombs & tea maker. Will definitely return every time we are in Cambria.”

“All of it. !!! The whole kit and caboodle”

“Absolutely delicious!! Warm and comfy atmosphere and very friendly staff!! Wish we had more time to spend so we could come for dinner again tomorrow!!”

“This place is fantastic. The owners are super friendly!! Very nice wine selection and great setup.
Ask the owner about his old bus, it is well worth seeing if you are into that type of thing.”

“I always look forward to a meal at this homey place. My friend from his Cambrian days, John Brannon, recommended the hamburgers, and even though I was primed for breakfast I had the Mushroom Burger. Delicious, and the friendly waitress volunteered that I could order onion rings instead of fries at no additional charge. It was a great choice!”

“This was THE BEST matcha tea that I have EVER had in my entire life! Thank you!”

“Such a vibe! The coffee was 10/10 and the employees were so sweet!”

“So, we originally stopped at Robin's but were told they were short staffed and there would be at least a 10 minute wait. There appeared to be empty tables everywhere though. So, we headed around the corner to Creekside Garden. The staff was friendly and helpful. The patio was comfirtable and welcoming. The found was so very good. My husband had a turkey fresno cheese sandwich with fries. The peppers were cooked perfectly for the sandwich and the fries yummy. I had beef fres.o and cheese sandwich with potato salad . The meat was perfect, peppers delicious and the potato salad was amazing. We will be back as the experience was better than we've had at Robin's.”

“An oasis…rolled into town after driving all day, and just wanted a beer. A good beer. Got exactly that.
I come from the land of Pliny and so many other amazing brews, it was nice to get to try something new. Fella behind the bar was chatty and attentive, even though we were the only people there. Location is kind of stale in terms of ambiance, but the beer is good and cold. Will visit again this vacation I am sure.”

“During our vacation in Cambria, CA, we explored several wineries, but our visit to Black Hand Cellars was a standout. After grabbing coffee across the street, we wandered into this charming winery and were warmly greeted by one of the owners, whose hospitality set the tone for an exceptional experience. Intrigued by their wine tasting, we dove right in, sampling their full range of wines. Each pour was a delight, with bold, memorable flavors that showcased the winery's craftsmanship. The unique bottles and creative labels, especially the Bootlegger which at that time was label-free; nod to prohibition-era charm, added a playful touch to the experience.

We couldn't resist purchasing a few bottles, including the Bootlegger, which paired perfectly with the season finale of MobLand, its rich, distinctive taste elevating our viewing night. The wines were so impressive that we're already planning to order more online. Beyond the stellar wines, the personal connection we formed with the owner through engaging conversations made the visit truly special. Among all the wineries we visited in Cambria, Black Hand Cellars stood out for its exceptional wines, warm atmosphere, and memorable hospitality. We can't wait to return and highly recommend you visit to create your own unforgettable experience.”

“Very nice place. Awesome wine.”

“we go here exclusively for ice cream. The only time we are disappointed is if they are closed. Ice Cream is delicious. I get mine in a cup but cones are available. You can sit out front or wander down Main St. Very friendly and look forward to new additions to the shop (chocolates).”

“So we came here hoping it wasn’t too busy and luckily was met with an Allegretto winery tasting. Cheese pairings all great, along with the wine rep and the Madeleine waitress. Excellent and would go back. Burger and dessert also very good. Plus she played good music & got the fires going.”

“The Corvettes of Bakersfield visited Cambria Pines Lodge on Sunday, July 9th for a lovely brunch in the garden room. We had 15 cars and a group of 30. We were welcomed by Angel, who took some group pics for us and led us to a perfectly set room ready to accommodate our group! Everyone enjoyed the mimosas and bloody Mary’s as well as our brunch choices. Our servers were attentive and did a great job! After brunch, we ventured out to the garden and played the assorted lawn games - lots of fun. Several members booked rooms to stay over and enjoyed the resort! Many of us strolled the grounds and took the trail leading the Cambria Nursery. Thank you Cambria Pines Team. Visit our Facebook page (Corvettes of Bakersfield) for pics!”

“Excellent quality meals. The owner is a wonderful chef and the ambience and service is outstanding. Patricia Rodgers Gordon”

“After over 20 years of visiting, we stumbled on Lillys! What a great place for breakfast! Such a relaxed atmosphere, great service, and delicious food. We had the ham and cheese quiche today. Light and delicious! The staff there are great. We felt welcome as soon as we walked in. I could've just hung out there for hours. Absolutely loved the patio. Plenty of seating. We look forward to our next visit there (tomorrow morning!) 😊”

“Had lunch with a friend there the other day and I loved how fresh everything was. The chef came out and greeted us which is always a great experience. Everything was done old school there which I can really appreciate. Pasta was delicious! Attended a 🎶concert 🎶there last night. It was a fun night with great music by Jill Knight and Giovanni did a super job at providing a special menu for the evening. ♥️”

“Always great service. and of course, the food is great also! Whenever I go to Cambria, I always go to JBJ Riund Up Pizza.”

“This pizza was cheesy perfect temperature it was the best service amazing they were so kind too. Every single time I pass by here I got to come to jj's you guys should come here it was excellent 👍.”

“Excellent Valentine's Day meal. Fantastic filet mignon, starters, salads, soup, service, everyone very friendly and quite reasonable too for a higher-end restaurant. this was our second time and we will be back many more.”

“Fun wine bar on the main drag in Cambria! Very friendly and informative staff. Lots of options to taste local wines for a reasonable price. They do not have great beer selections, this is a place for wine.”

“Godfather was amazing! A+ thank you! 😋”

“Went here tonight based on recommendations from Tara at Covell ranch. Delicious food and drinks. We will definitely be back”

“Great food…great views…great staff highly recommend”

“Went here for the first time tonight . I have always wanted to try this place so a few of my friends came here tonight . The mimosa’s are outstanding you get so many choices and flavors . A total 10 in my book . We each had a meal . One friend had the fish and chips and she said they were goof . I myself had the veggie burger which was excellent. My friend had the special turkey melt she said it was really good .definitely will be back for more mimosas. Highly recommend you try it .”

“The chocolate croissant was good.”

“Stopped in this place on the way through Cambria. The bartender was awesome. I don't recall his name. He told us dinner at Robin's would not disappoint (he was correct). We had a nice visit with him as well as a young couple that stopped in.
Loved this place. Cash only (not a problem for us).”

“so yummy!! love the wet burritos!❤”

“Sopa de almejas; mojarra dorada; hamburguesas; burrito mojado muy delicioso”

“Food was super fast, and good. We had the ABC burger and the Monster burger, with fries and onion rings. All very messy and good. The burgers are reasonably priced, but a little pricey on the fries and rings. My only question was why we got 2 sides of ranch, I thought it just came with, but the receipt showed that we paid for them when we didn't ask for them. At any rate, we found out that onion rings aren't bad with ranch!”

“Excellent food and service.”

“The eggplant parmesan was delicious! The restaurant makes their own vegan cashew cheese, and it is rich, creamy, and flavorful. So much better than the fake options usually available. My husband had the same dish with chicken and real cheese. He loved his as well! Any restaurant that can mail a vegan dish and a meat dish… well, that’s a treat!!!”

“We enjoy everything about West End. The food is really good and the atmosphere is friendly and homey. Owner, Vicki, is the friendliest person ever.”

“Visited on Christmas Eve. Just a heads up that this is a takeout-only spot. The food was delicious—it has a real homemade comfort food vibe rather than a standard commercial restaurant taste. The Chicken Satay was a highlight; the flavor was excellent. Highly recommend if you are looking for a comforting meal in Cambria!”
