“I had an amazing birthday here. The staff are so friendly and right there when you need them. The food….omg the food. I had lamb shank with mashed potatoes and sautéd veggies. Everything was cooked to perfection! I live 4 hours away. I can’t wait to come back.“

“I had lunch with a friend today and I wanted to try Soul Salad I was not disappointed. Fresh, flavorful and the customer service was top notch The owner offered to make me something special: he grilled me sesame crusted tofu and put it on the Wasabi salad. That was so cool and I appreciated it too. btw it was delicious I ate every bite I was also able to customize a salad for my husband. Thank you Team Soul Salad for an amazing lunch 🥰🙏🏻🥗“

“Great place for quick lunch“

“Favorite roaster around! Haven't had a bag of beans I don't like. Currently on a kick of pulling shots and making lattes with After Party. Super thick crema and great tasting notes. Don't see myself changing up from Cat & Cloud anytime soon!“

“the best place for a full meal. all home made . I follow them from Salinas to Watsonville. to me they are the best.“

“Marvelous food and generous servings. No wait to be seated and quick, polite service. The club sandwich was huge, more like two sandwiches. And it was a treat to have curly fries. My partner had the omelette with carnitas. I wanted that too! Hash browns were perfection.“

“Great space! The owners are amazing, very welcoming, and the wine is amazing!“

“Josh was a great host. The Fish House Bar and Grill offers a warm and romantic ambiance. My wife and I were very pleased with the delicious food. Our first time at The Fish House but definitely not the last! You can view our “Food Coma - The Fish House Bar and Grill Watsonville, CA - Jon and Kristel Coma” episode on YouTube.“

“Awesome space to spend time in vacations. Highly Recommended Place. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Every time I go, spot in with the food. This is what I look for in a restaurant. Think out of the box menu with consistency every time I go with every item I order. I keep working down the menu to try everything. They obviously make their own sauce, the ranch, super bomb diggity. Fries, onion rings, salad all fresh and crisp. Mac and Gouda cheese bites, Yes! Chop cheese, you gotta have one of these! Mushroom cap “burger “ something you will crave, Parish pie, goodness wrapped up in one dish. Salmon fish & chips, fantastic. And I forgot to mention beer, beer, beer, they also have beer and mixed drinks. There is always specials on the screens. Last time I noticed something about tenderloin and bacon …… can’t wait to go back and find out!“

“Great beer hall/garden right vibe. Rotating tap menu. Big to go beer fridge with tons of options. Delicious and filling food menu. Solid weekend brunch on Saturday and Sunday with a couple of TVs inside playing sports. The Loco Moco breaky is my go to that I never regret.“

“Have been coming here for 20+ years (yes, I know, it was Surf City before). Today’s experience was probably the best ever. The staff is super friendly. The quality of the food is great. Love the choice of cheese for the dawners. And the eggs were perfect. Unfortunately we aren’t locals or we would be back more often. But, we do come back to the area, it’s on our “must go” list.“

“Such a cute idea for a coffee house! Food is great, coffee was great, atmosphere is amazing.“

“This is my favorite place to be on a weekend afternoon!The owners are absolutely the best! The rest of the staff is outstanding. When anyone comes to visit this is the place to take them to. They are family and pet friendly. They bring in different food vendors that are also fantastic! The cider is great! Get a flight if it's your first time. My personal favorites are Don't make me Blush or a cider pop on a warm day. During the winter they have hot cider too!“

“They make a great latte, and I can always find a few familiar faces on the patio“

“Friendly staff, seriously amazing food, lots of seating. Generally only one dark beer on the menu at a time, which makes me sad since I'm a stout fan, but that one dark is always good.“

“Salt of the Earth brewery that’s easy to miss if you aren’t paying attention while driving the beautiful outskirts of Watsonville. Located in a large wooden barn next to a lumber company, Corralitos Brewing has a small town feel, where locals come after clocking out from work and enjoying tasty beer while watching the sunset and breathing clean air. The outdoor patio area is reminiscent of a saloon, while the indoor avoids the cliched Industrial interiors of many breweries today, instead relying on the log cabin / barn motif with wooden decor and small town charm.The staff is friendly, conversational, and attentive. The restrooms are clean. There’s the obligatory swag and to go beer for sale. They even offer crowler fills, but I would suggest asking for pricing before simply ordering a large can for home. I ordered two and it cost me $50 with a reasonable tip. That’s the only negative I can really complain about, but I have to take responsibility for it because I didn’t inquire whatsoever.Parking is limited, but when the lot is full, the overflow simply park on the on the shoulder of the adjacent field.Some would say Corralitos Brewing Company is off the beaten path, and they would be correct. It’s not right off the highway or in a shopping center downtown. But it’s worth the extra ten minutes and the countryside is a nice reprieve from downtown Watsonville.“

“We had Cafecto / Cowboy Coffee cater our brunch & coffee for our wedding, and we were blown away by the experience. Were able to navigate a very complicated venue with little to no assistance and provided stellar breakfast burritos (vegetarian options included) and a custom iced coffee drink menu. They even were able to commandeer some supplies we had brought and lay it out with their breakfast spread for a one-stop-shop for the guests.

The food was outstanding, the drinks were even better, and our guests were FIRED UP about it. Pricing was extremely fair, and Sal and his team were a dream to work with, super responsive and accommodating to our many requests. Could not recommend them enough if you're looking to level up your event.“

“The best coffee in aptos homemade muffins and pastries , cozy warm atmosphere“

“Fourth time here and still left impressed. Pizza, gnocchi, ragu, and sole dishes were fantastic. Didn leave room for desert but tried the strawberry and cream and lemon curd, anyway. Glad we did. Drinks were great too. Nice enough for a date night. Casual enough to be a great neighborhood hang. 10/10.“

“First time there … loved the vibe will be back“

“Honestly, this is one of the best BBQ places in the Bay Area. Their meats definitely have that WOW factor! I love how welcoming the staff is here. It feels like they genuinely want you to feel comfortable and enjoy some great BBQ. We’ve ordered takeout and dined in many times, and I’ve always appreciated the consistency of the food. The quality of the meat is top-notch, with a perfect smoky flavor and tenderness. Their brisket is the best — a great balance of lean and fatty cuts, crispy edges, and juicy, flavorful meat that falls apart beautifully. The tri-tip is also moist and cooked to perfection, though you can definitely notice the difference in tenderness between the two cuts of beef. The ribs are meaty, perfectly cooked, and have a wonderful smoky flavor. They shouldn't fall off the bone on their own, but they come off easily — exactly how ribs should be. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. The pulled BBQ pork melts in your mouth, incredibly moist and perfectly smoked. One thing to note: items tend to run out early, so it’s a good idea to call or order ahead!“

“Been enjoying Manuels since 1966. Love the red snapper, the salad, flautas with guacamole...great food always! Hopefully coming to dinner tonight! ♥️“

“Best breakfast and ambience 🥰“

“The clam chowder is worth the trip.“

“Great family gathering spot as well as great wine & friendly staff 🤗🍷“

“So good. Great atmosphere, yummy food, super polite staff, kid friendly“

“Love this place. Great menu and service. We were welcomed with a bright smile and a positive attitude. So many great things to choose from. A wide beverage selection as well as some amazing cannoli! Definitely recommend a stop here. If you are headed to the beach it is very conveniently located.“

“Excellent ice cream with vegan options. Gluten free waffle cone too“

“Tried for the first time and we’re hooked!! Can’t wait to have again .. yummy 😋“

“Great atmosphere, super cozy and family friendly. The staff always greets you with a smile and treats you like family. Best place to enjoy an afternoon beer specially when they have live music witch is usually Fri/Sat. Highly recommended their Hazys or ask for their blend of the week“

“If you haven’t been, you are missing out!! Definitely going back💜“

“We enjoyed the salmon curry lunch special. It came with fresh veggies that were perfectly slightly undercooked. The service was excellent, but never rushed. The servings are plentiful with enough for two people (or leftovers for dinner as we did). We will be back!“

“Food is delicious. Service was top notch. Staff is extremely friendly.“

“We’ve always loved Akira, but recently their chefs have been taking their sushi game to a whole new level. Very delicious with big portions of food & we have yet to have a roll that we didn’t like. Highly recommend!“

“I visited this winery recently. I was going to do some wine tasting but opted for a glass of their res blend "Devotion" suggested by a very nice and helpful server. We toured the winery. Quite large area for events. Was also picturesque. Wine was also delicious. I love red blends so I was delighted. My friend loved one of their Pinot Noirs. Very reasonably priced. Will be back.“

“A while back, I had a single origin Peru batch brewed coffee. It was delicious. Looking forward to the next time I drive through town so I can stop by again.“

“Fantastic food and a stunning outdoor setting make The Haute Enchilada Cafe a must-visit. The enchiladas are exceptional, and the charming, lush decor creates a relaxing atmosphere. Perfect for a memorable meal in a beautiful environment! #thehauteenchiladacafe #greatfood“

“The service was great. The food is good and portions are large. Moderate pricing, but dog friendly!“

“On vacation from FL. We was craving Mexican food, our hotel suggested this place, and what a great place to eat! The food was authentic and it was a treat! Our server we met was Lilly was so nice it made the food that much better! Can't wait to go again before we leave the area. Keep up the great food and customer service!“

“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!“

“Really affordable and super quick! There is very few choices on the menu and that’s a good thing order your hotdog and go. The dogs are really tasty and so the chili spend less than five bucks for a meal can’t find that many places.

Vegetarian options: Not many options for vegetarians“

“It's an old fashioned burger joint right by the beach. For some it is a traditional stop when leaving the nearby beach.“

“My new friends treated me to this place for my Birthday. Didn’t even know it existed. We showed up when they were short of staff but the wait wasn’t horrible.

Very little options. I chose fish n chips. I would recommend because it was a larger portion to have a plate to be able to work with. Maybe a few more sauce options.

View was pretty neat location and I loved the octopus fire pit which we got to sit infront of. Fries were salted perfectly. Just wish there were other sauce options.

Ladies there were all really nice! Will be back!“

“Strawberry walnut salad was great and the feta fries OMG so good“

“Service was wonderful, food was excellent. Special deal if it’s your birthday! Don’t worry, they don’t sing to you😂“

“I might recommend this place for its pies & pastries, but not their coffee offerings. I guess they don’t get many requests for mochas because what I got was mostly milk with a splash of coffee & zero chocolate. Getting it iced costs another 50¢, which I’ve never seen before. They really don’t promote their coffee beverages, so…. Hopefully your experience will be better.“
