I was a bit dubious going in, it just looked a little old from the outside. Well, it is old but it's wonderful, wood paneling everywhere. There is a great looking bar partitioned from the seating area by a wood and glass partition. All the tables are small booths. It felt nice and cozy. The service was good and I had one of the best pork chops I have ever had. It was super thick and juicy, delicious. I have been back since, still great!

The best halibut and risotto I’ve ever had—perfection on a plate.
Stephanie Johnson
The prime rib was absolutely amazing, the French Onion Soup was very tasty. And the drinks were very good, had a great bartender.

Growers Pub in Salinas provided a fantastic family dining experience that exceeded all expectations. From the moment we walked in, the rustic charm of the interior set a welcoming tone. The warm wood paneling and inviting atmosphere instantly made us feel at home. The staff were attentive and friendly, ensuring our table was well taken care of throughout the evening.
The food was the true star of the night! Each dish was prepared with precision and packed with flavor. Whether it was the perfectly cooked steaks or the hearty sides, everything felt crafted with care. It’s a place where comfort meets quality, and it’s clear why locals and visitors alike rave about this spot. Definitely a must-visit in Salinas for a memorable meal and great service!

We are from SF and came down to take our family member to dinner for her birthday. This dinner experience was exemplary, from the food to the service to the extra care that, I was pleased to see, still come from a classy place.
Two of us had the surf and turf. One the risotto with salmon. All these and the drinks were top drawer. Then at the end of the meal, the server brought out a piece of tiramisu for the birthday girl. It too tasted great.
This place is a great treat. Thanks for your kind attention to us.

Chef Niño never disappoints and they serve the best cocktails!
Dinner was a ten. Even the lemon drop was perfection. We had the New York steak and prime rib. The bread pudding also incredible.

My bosses insisted us to dine in here, so we drove all the way to downtown Salinas from our training site. Seemingly the rest of the team were in a mood of more high-end meals after mostly cooked the dinner by ourselves or bought takeaway from supermarket for days and the deal was settled.
We were greeted by the charming old school interior of the restaurant, which has a long history dated back to the early 20th century. No idea how well ventilated these spaces are since I didn't bring my CO2 meter with me (old restaurants tend to have poor air circulation).
The meals themselves are very nice, cooked or processed to perfection. I ordered crusted tuna tartare which was fresh (long time having good raw fish like this!), served with seasonal stir fry veggies. My colleagues enjoyed their risotto and medium rare steaks. Price was of course pricy but it's every cent well spent, especially for a treat like this after hard work.

The food was excellent as usual. The calendar was light and tender. Vegetables fresh and tasty. Prime rib and skirt steak were flavorful and tender.
