Had their pupusas. Great flavor however they have little to no stuffing. About an 1 oz of pork no cheese at all.

Well rounded place! Burgers are better than Red Robin. If you've had Colorado Grill, it's comparable to that. Food was tasty! Burgers were juicy but not dripping grease. Our picky toddlers even approved. They have canned sodas instead of a fountain, and that was such a nice touch to have an ice cold can of soda along side the burger. Staff are polite and welcoming. And the retro vibe inside kept us entertained the entire time, as we kept finding new details to look at!

Just ate here and the vibes were honestly really good. Super quiet and chill, no wait for a table at all. It felt homey and relaxing, like the kind of spot you wanna hang out in for a while?

Service was great. Super friendly and fast. Food was solid—had a cheeseburger and chili cheese fries. Classic diner-style food, nothing fancy but definitely hit the spot! I 100% will order the chili cheese fries TWICE next time they were bomb!!

About $20 per person. Worth it for the atmosphere and how easy going everything was. Would come back for sure if I’m in the area again with my family.

Lovely relaxed lunch here today - we had a burger and a patty melt with sweet potato fries, all perfect. Very nice vibe, great service, loved the eclectic decor.

Vibe inside was fantastic. Loved the music playing and the decoration. It was a busy day in Monterey and I was uneasy about this place since it was empty. Food was sub par. Ordered my kids chicken nuggets and they were grocery store dino-nuggets way over priced. Burger was way too expensive. There was a Hispanic gentleman there, seemed as if he didn’t wanna be there. We asked for ranch and he says, “for what?” Asked for water, looked at us like we were stupid. Then, food came out and the dude was moving in slow motion getting condiments and what not. Let’s not forget that customers pay for EXCELLENT service. So if you provide poor service, expect poor tip. Dont give a bad look if your ethic proved you didn’t deserve a good tip. Maybe work on your customer service skills, be more inviting, and leave if you don’t want to work there. If he was the manager, then that place is a major bust.

A truly hidden gem. We picked it almost by random and were unsure of our choice from the outside. As soon as we entered the front doors, we knew it was a great choice. The burgers were great and they offered a wide variety of burgers. I always put peanut butter on my hamburgers and was delighted to find the "Call Me Crazy" burger on the menu. A burger with jack cheese, peanut butter, grilled onions and jalapeños... delicious!

The atmosphere was awesome. Iconic musicians and entertainers, guitars, 50's, retro, big comfy living room chairs at the tables, books, and games available.
