“I tried something new today, the hot Turkey open face sandwich smothered in a wonderful mushroom gravy. OMG 😱 So good ! And my salad was the perfect size to complement the large portion of the hot Turkey. I added a little Tabasco cause that what I do. I thought I was finished until the little waitress offered dessert 🍨. I ordered a piece of their home made apple 🍎 pie 🎉🎊😱. People let me tell you this is a bucket lister. With out a doubt the best apple pie I have ever had. And yes they make it from scratch. Great lunch experience today ! I ordered a piece of pie for a friend who is not feeling well and dropped it off to her. Thanks Victorian Corner for such a pleasant atmosphere to have my lunch 🙏.“

The service is outstanding, both of the women who served me were genuinely very nice and were amazing towards my dogs. I didn’t have a chance to try their food but it looked really good.

“I wanted to write the perfect review but I won't be able to do that. The people there were so nice and so warm. The location is in an old house in historic downtown Pacific Grove. But I can't let this go, the prices were high (as expected) and then they did the old trick of, "Did you want chorizo with that"....without telling you it's a $6 upcharge for two teaspoons added on top of your $17 plate of chiliquilies. So for $23, you get a full plate, I mean piled high of tortilla chips covered in a homemade red sauce (delicious). A table or teaspoonful of queso fresco per the recipe (delicious), two fried eggs, and sour cream on the side, (awesome). Most recipes for this dish that I've eaten will offer a choice of protein. Chorizo is a very common breakfast protein for this recipe. I would argue that it should be part of the recipe regardless but if you ask people, "Do you want chorizo on that?", many will say yes for the reasons I mentioned above. But when the bill comes watch out. It was a $6 upcharge to my $17 choice of breakfast. If it's an upcharge you have to tell me in advance. "Do I want it?", is one question. "Do I want it for the price you will charge me?", has to be a separate question. If it's some amount that high, an extra 1/3 of the price of my breakfast, then you shoudl feel extremely obligated to tell me how much. Don't make me feel like an a-hole bringing up your sketchy business upcharge practices to you in the middle of a super-packed breakfast/brunch rush when you hand me the bill. I didn't bring it up but I wanted to, very badly. As good as the meal was the experience left a bad taste in my mouth and more than a week later I'm still shaking my head about it. For a place that thrives on tourist and word-of-mouth business, there's no reason for this type of shady business antics which leads someone like me who otherwise really enjoyed this place to go to the trouble of leaving a bad review. I probably won't go back due to this.“

“Omg how did I not know about this place! It smells amazing and it’s exactly what I need after a major workout. The team are so sincere and like family. I went a little earlier than my order time to make sure I was at the right place. I said to the gentleman preparing the chicken there “I think this is the right place but I think I came a little too early it’s ok take your time”. Omg he smiled and said wait and brought out my order. Mind, my order was supposed to be ready at 7:50 I got there about 5 minutes earlier. It smells so good in there! How did I not know about this place! The chicken is cooked right infront of you! And I just had one piece and it brought me back to home made cooked chicken I am literally crying happy tears! Please don’t take home cooked even if you make it yourself for granted but getting back to this little spot I went here because wingstop in seaside was closed and I can’t eat too much meat although I need the protein I also cannot eat from fast food chains it hurts my system, KFC even Safeway was not an option and black bear had no option for ranch without pork I also do not eat pork. Well I found this little chicken house and omg thank you! Thank you so much! It brought so many memories growing up during summer eating good chicken with a side of home made Cole slaw and beans. I know it’s made with so much love and care because I got full quick! The chicken is so good I love it when it’s nice and crispy I can eat the ends of a drum stick. Thank you so so much! 😭🥹🥹🥹 I feel like the guy in Ratatouille movie when Anton Ego ate the Ratatouille just like that. Thank you! I have no time lately to cook and miss it so much and this is as close to home. Thank you!“
