19 Best American Restaurants near Moss Landing

“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!“

“It's hard to stand out as a standard American diner but this place was pretty good. I had the Farmer's Bowl with eggs over easy and sourdough. The eggs were perfectly cooked, the steak was plentiful and the potatoes were great as well. I also had a quarter of one of the many burgers (I don't remember what it was) and it was a solid burger. The atmosphere was nice, a little diner on the corner of a busy street. The service was just ok, practical but a little short with us.“

Nice and conformable environment, indoor and outdoor seating with heaters. Great service and food was excellent. I hope more people visit this place to keep it around for a long while. Try the appetizers all were really good. And food on point. A definite must.“
