“Very Helpful, great service my last buy 8.3lbs of pork shoulder cooked low and slow at 270 came out fantastic!“

“Bingo was so fun! Fabulous pizza, dessert was yummy. Everybody who works there is very friendly, the entire establishment is inviting.😍“

“They make the best ice cream in town, with over 100 flavors to choose from“

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

“We stopped here on our way to Monterey Bay and found it completely by chance, and we’re so glad we did! We ordered the Cajeta coffee and the Breakfast Burrito. The coffee was excellent, and the breakfast burrito was delicious, especially with the salsa. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and a great start to our day. If you’re passing through the area, this spot is definitely worth a stop.“

“Great place for quick lunch“

“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 🥰🙏🏻🥗“

“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!“

“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.“

“The food and service were both excellent. The portions were huge but it tasted so good that I couldn’t stop eating. I got the crispy chicken sandwich that also had crispy bacon and avocado. My dad got a corned beef Reuben which was so delicious and came with dill pickle chips to add even more flavor. The staff was extremely friendly and it’s located in such a charming place in what feels like the country.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“They always have a good range of beers on tap. They also have a refrigerator full of take home beer options. Their chicken sandwiches are juicy and delicious. You have the option to bring outside food. There is ping pong and cornhole for a little exercise. Indoor and outdoor seating options. Bathrooms are clean. This place is dog friendly.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“This is hands down the best cider I've ever had. It's just right on the dry-sweet scale, veering towards the dry end. Their varieties are unique and they have seasonal favorites as well as specialty ciders that only have a short run. I find them satisfying and easy on my body. The owners are truly good humans with the kindest hearts. They host a lot of fundraisers here for local community charities and causes. They really care about their local and greater communities, and put actions behind their values. I've found the people I've met and the whole vibe to be uplifting, warm, playful, and easy going. I really recommend not missing out on this gift of a bar, business and community!“

“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.“

“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.“

“My family of 5 went there for brunch yesterday. We were seated quickly and received immediate service. We had the chicken pesto sandwich with a salad; the pancake combo, two waffle combos; and a meat lovers omelet with potatoes. We enjoyed it all! The chicken pesto sandwich was perfection! The pancakes and waffles were delicious, the bacon had good crunch, the eggs were scrambled and cooked just right! Also, they had this orange muffin that was amazing! We can't wait to go back! It was so yummy!! We all left full and satisfied.“

“Some of the best beer I have tasted in a long time, super friendly staff, Chuck went out of his way to sample all of the beers we wanted to try from his bold menu of locally brewed beer! Also, for couples, where beer isn’t your wife’s favorite libation, there is a cider place next door featuring local ciders. A great way to chill out and relax with your honey! We will be back“

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

“Best breakfast and ambience 🥰“

“We love Bangkok West! It’s become part of our routine to visit Bangkok West whenever we are in the area. Love the welcoming vibes and delicious food. Amp is our favorite - she is so sweet and friendly and takes the time to make us feel so comfortable. She adores our dog and always makes it a point to connect with us. We look forward to coming here!“

“Absolutely delicious! Just as we walked in a fresh batch of chocolate chip cookies were placed on the cover, so of course I had to get one with my vanilla latte, egg and cheese bagel and the chicken bacon ranch sandwich. All of which are top tier. My friend ordered a few of their cannolis and egg/cheese/bacon croissant. This will remain on my list of favorite delis“

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

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

“Amazing food! The sushi is so fresh, and the rolls are to die for!“

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

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

“This place has great consistent pho and other treats. Everytime I have come in David is on fire prepping and sending orders out. Today Carlos helped me out and was super helpful when I ended up ordering the entirety wrong thing which I appreciated so so much!! I also decided to treat myself to one of their lemonades today, opted for peach and it was quite delicious though sweet ☺“

“The clam chowder is worth the trip.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Location, location, location! We stopped here solely because we smelled the delicious food as our boat came in from our whale watching trip across the harbor.
We walked in around 3pm, were seated along the bar overlooking the harbor with a great view. Unfortunately the staff either forgot about us or didn't realize we were in someone's assigned section because we ended up waiting almost 30 minutes for someone to come over to take our order. I tried turning around to make eye contact with the staff, but they were hard at work and I didn't want to interrupt them as they were almost always speaking to other customers. We watched several tables who were seated after us get their order taken, so I started to get nervous knowing they closed at 4pm.
Right before we were about to leave a friendly staff member approached us to ask if we had been helped. We ordered everything at once to be efficient with time - my husband and I split the clam chowder, fish and chips, and a side order of sourdough bread. We received our food around 3:50pm and we were so excited to get our food.
Ultimately I am glad we ended up waiting, the food was delicious and hit the spot after a busy day. I would say if you are on a time crunch, don't stop here. We will definitely come back, we'll just budget for more time!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

“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!“

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

“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!“

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

“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“
