Trailside Café & Beer Garden

Great waiters. Food was delicious! We had some fussy eaters and they were able to accommodate everyone. Bravo!

Great beer selection. Excellent food, great atmosphere and live music. We even squeeze in some dancing.

We stopped here because it’s a local spot and it seemed like a favorite from visitors. After a day of golf we where definitely hungry. They served breakfast and lunch. As you go inside you can seat yourself. Service was a bit slow. I ordered the biscuits and gravy which they had good flavor not enough gravy. My wife ordered the English muffin with egg, bacon and cheese came with a side of potatoes. One of my sons had the 2 egg breakfast and the other the omelette. The dishes that came with potatoes where not thoroughly cooked. The service was not the best either never got a top off on my coffee.

I love supporting local spots but when they don’t check quality that just doesn’t fly. Also but expensive, if paying $12 for a side of breakfast sausage I expect better service.

Wonderful food and staff.

It was very nice. On a sunny day, eating inside or outside and hearing your friends talk.

The beignet recipe needs some serious revision, but it doesn't stop there. Phenomenally, the most rubber-like calamari I've ever had. Nearly every item on the menu is either chewy, soggy, or comically under-seasoned.
Assumably, only enjoyable to those with booze-deadened taste buds.
My recommendation: Avoid this place entirely.

Trailside is one of my favorite local breakfast areas. Diego is the manager. They have a great selection of beers, morning drinks. I usually get the huevos rancheros with an ice coffee and a morning beer.

Nights are really great. Clear skies and good views of the stars at night.

Nice folks, great service, okay food. She had huevos ranchero, she said it was good, not great. I had biscuits and gravy with a side of eggs: the gravy looked like it broke, and they tried to save it by adding water, the biscuits were hard and cold. Both of our eggs were cooked perfectly.
They were super busy that day, and we think they deserve another chance. I'll post an update when that happens.

They had St. Bernardus Christmas on TAP! From the source! This establishment is obviously run by someone with extremely established taste, at the very minimum.

Their pub fare is also delicious.

After a wine tasting across the street we grabbed a quick lunch here. The green salad was amazingly fresh and tasty. The chicken pesto sandwich was tasty too. (I just wish it was on crusty ciabatta bread that I'm used to) It seemed as though the bread was like a soft sub sandwich bread. Still, happy to have a nice lunch place in Carmel Valley.

This place was alright. First, of course, because of the area, the clientele were mostly old white people drinking wine. Second, there was a guy playing guitar and singing. He was pretty good!

The food - sliders were not bad. Fries were yum. They almost seemed to be tempura fried. I had a strawberry cider that was excellent.

Wait staff - outstanding. I would go back anytime just because of them.

Great lunch stop. Huge beer selection, good food and a tranquil stop. I loved the area, back in the deeper Carmel Valley area. I went out of my way to get there and was not disappointed, it actually made our day after shopping at the excellent plant nurseries along the way.

Vegetarian options: Most of these places offer a vegetarian option my wife is vegetarian so we wouldn't have gone there unless she had options.
