Whatever you do dont go expecting good pancakes. My pancakes were rubbery and cold. The floor was littered with trash and we had to ask for silverware

Nothing to do with the staff or anything. I got a coffee and the eggs and biscuits combo. Just imagine hotel free continental breakfast. Not bad. Nothing to write home about. My total was $25 without tip. So $30. $30 for a couple of eggs a biscuit and a small coffee. We went to morro bay and had crab on the an actual beachfront property. Total was $34 per person.... For crab....... With a beachfront view......

This place is only alive because older people have eaten here since the 80s and have long lost their taste buds and don't need any kind of atmosphere.

I just can't believe the price for a plate of eggs here. Farmers skillet if anyone's wondering.

This place has consistently had poor service and the quality of the food is mediocre if that even. Do yourselves a favor and find somewhere else to spend your money.

Worst food ever tasted manger Javier not a good manger do not waste your money. That plate is literally 25 buck 4 pancakes 2 small sausages and 1 egg. McDonald’s is 1/3 of the price and taste way better.

Javier was very unhelpful worst experience in the restaurant. On top of that I had ordered over the phone for pick up and apparently they don’t make your order unless it’s paid was never told this over the phone. I showed up order was not ready and pricing online is way off compared to what they charge in store. Rip off Food was terrible and service was terrible.

After arriving, I told the cashier there would be ten of us. They immediately went to back area of restaurant and set up two tables with chairs so family could visit. We had our visit and meals which very good.

The only reason I am giving this restaurant two stars is because my daughter's food was ok and our server was nice. (Although your biscuits are like bricks.) I had the Santa Fe sandwich and it was SUCH garbage. The melted Jack cheese was a sprinkling of shredded cheese that only encompassed about 1/10th of the area on the bread. This is a grilled sandwich that should have melted cheese. The portion was so small you could barely even find it, much less judge if it had been melted. The amount of green chili covered about half the area of the bread. The worst part? The overcooked bland tri tip was so scant on there, that I ended up piecing this dry, dull mess together on one half of the bread. So a half a mediocre sandwich for $16.99. The cheese should be plentiful enough that it adds the moisture that a sandwich without any spread, NEEDS. I felt bad for our server. I heard her trying to get the attention of the cook. Loudly. I tried to let her know, my issues with the sandwich were absolutely not about her. Her cooks or the management or the owners are letting her down. Sending her out with an embarrassingly inferior product. She tried to make it right, but the first impression was such that I did NOT want to risk another sandwich, likely made with a bad attitude and a ridiculous and petty overabundance of cheese. I know how these things work in smaller establishments.

I worked in restaurants for YEARS. I would never have served something this terrible. Do better.

This restaurant really really needs to update it's interior from the 80s, including the restrooms, and make some repairs AND updates in the dining room. Atmosphere is... brown.

Regarding food, service, pricing....
It's all just "okay" in general by today's common standards. (See what what i did there? Yeah, bad joke) Enjoy... or not. I don't recommend nor caution against eating here.
