Restaurants in Cambria

“Stopped at Brydge for a late lunch when exploring the Central Coast. It’s a converted home off the main street of Cambira. It has cozy atmosphere & lovely back patio. The petrale sole appetizer was magical. The waygu burger was perfect.”

“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”

“Breaking down the stars on this one! 5 stars - Food was excellent. kudos to the chef. 4 stars - Service very good...kudos for the bus boy who delivered napkins on his own after I sneezed, but had not asked for them. Waiter was pleasant and fairly attentive, but could use instruction on what is called suggestive selling. He definitely offered desserts, which we were going to turn down regardless, but suggestive selling a little different. (just a suggestion) My 1 star downgrade. 1 star - Neither my wife nor I drink alcohol. I ordered a Pomegranate lemonade, my wife simply water. I can "somewhat" understand 1 refill only on most of the non-alcoholic beverages! My particular beverage was not allowed a refill however. With normal size restaurant beverage glasses that is usually enough for most people per meal anyways! And along with the type of restaurant, I can understand having select beverages in keeping with the menu and customer target. But I DO NOT understand the kid size glass it came in...and at a fairly high price for a non-alcoholic beverage as well to along with no refill at all! At that price, I really was not encouraged to refill it, even once. It is as the saying goes "Penny wise but pound foolish!" If you do not drink wine or beer, but non-alcoholic drinks, and are stretching the budget a little to enjoy a better restaurant, might want to do what my wife did, a glass of water.”

“Yummy food! Get the weirdo waffle!”

“I was aware of the ritual to get in here & embraced it with our beach chairs & wine in the parking lot - we met amazing people and the ocean view in the sun was glorious! You felt like you won a lottery when you were seated at a premium table! The fresh fish was one of the best ever. Even the sides were perfection. Service great. Our only problem with this place is Cash only - where is the customer-first approach? Sure we went to an ATM but when the rest of our favorite restaurants accept cards, we felt we were supporting maybe a lazy, perhaps financially irresponsible establishment. So, one & done for us.”

“Everything is great Pizza 🍕 good”

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

“My family and I came here for Easter lunch. Between us, we ordered the short rib tartine, the salad nicoise, and the croque monsieur. Everything was absolutely delicious! Our server was so sweet and attentive. The prices were surprisingly good! My mom and I go to Cambria often as we only live 25-35 minutes away. We will definitely be back”

“It was amazing. My husband and I both had the NY steak with potatoes and broccoli. It was prepared with a wine glaze. We also had a side salad and blackberry cheesecake that was made on site. We will be back for sure. It had been recommended and we had not gotten there, now on our go to.”

“During our vacation in Cambria, we stumbled upon a charming winery nestled in the heart of town and decided to step inside for a wine tasting. Despite the lively, bustling atmosphere, we secured a cozy table and embarked on a delightful tasting experience featuring an impressive selection of whites, reds, and more. We were genuinely surprised by the exceptional quality of the wines, each bursting with unique, vibrant flavors that left a lasting impression. We couldn’t resist purchasing a few bottles to take home! Whether you’re seeking a standout wine to sip or the perfect complement to a meal, this winery is a must-visit gem in Cambria.”

“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!”

“A local favorite, owned by a wonderful local family, consistently good food with friendly atmosphere and a lovely patio dining space as well as indoor seating. And their pet friendly too!”

“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!”

“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.”

“Small little shop with great desserts ? love to stop by on my way to San Simeon or Piedras blancas to get my favorite rocky road ice cream. Love supporting small local mom and pop shops that make Cambria a beautiful destination.”

“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!!”

“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.”

“Had our morning coffee, drip was a medium roast. The oat latte and 2 pastries raspberry cream muffin and lemon scone, satisfied our morning cravings! Only wish they had a restroom for their guests!”

“Chef Giovanni provided a magnificent dinner for my son’s wedding reception on July 25, 2022 at Harmony Cafe.”

““JJ’s Pizza is an absolute local favorite! Their Mexican pizza is out of this world – loaded with flavor, fresh ingredients, and the perfect dough. The restaurant itself has a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that makes it a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal. The staff are always friendly and make you feel right at home. If you’re craving unique and delicious pizza in a comfortable setting, JJ’s Pizza is the place to be!””

“Stopped to get lunch after a morning at Moonstone Beach. Great deli and sandwich place. Fast service (wasn't too busy), polite staff, excellent food. Not the least inexpensive, but this is a beach town and very large portions.”

“Very nice place. Awesome wine.”

“We walked three miles on new years day 2025 to get a pizza, hoping they would be open. Been coming here since 2003 and they have yet to disappoint us. We give them five stars across the board! Thank you for the great service! Until next time...”

“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!) 😊”

“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).”

“Trina was a wonderful help. They have a great variety of local and imported wine. Don’t skip it as you go through town. One of the best prices we found on tasting as well”

“Very good wine Usually, I don't like southcoast Cabernet blends or Cabernet . But these were both very tasty. The grenash was also nice. Bought a bottle of the red blink will be recommending to friends and customers.”

“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!!!”

“The chocolate croissant was good.”

“They were out of clam chowder wich disappointed me so I got the fish and chips. The fries were seasoned, taste pretty good the fish was ok. I didn't hear any complaints from my family.”

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

“Excellent food and service.”

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

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

“Friendly old school saloon. Cash only bar. Nice vibe in there. A couple of pool tables and vintage Galaga cocktail arcade game. I enjoyed the artwork on the walls!”

“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 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!”

“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. ♥️”

“so yummy!! love the wet burritos!❤”

“So yummy!! The veggies are super fresh and they add so many. My wife and I got the Shakin’ Beef & the Vietnamese BBQ Pork. A little pricey but both were delicious and filling!”

“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.”

“The food! The food! The food!! Absolutely amazing Italian food! My new favorite restaurant and they have set the bar high. The staff is excellent also. Great service, very attentive and knowledgeable, From here on out I refuse to go to Cambria unless it includes a meal at Lombardi’s! I will definitely be back 😂”
