The Steinbeck House Restaurant serves delicious American food, with outstanding rolls. The fully restored boyhood home of John Steinbeck provides a charming and historic setting, offering a step back in time. Volunteer servers are friendly and clearly love their jobs, sharing fascinating information about Steinbeck and the house’s history. The service is wonderful, with knowledgeable staff providing great info beyond the house itself. The food is very good and served quickly, making it a highly recommended and well-worth-a-visit destination. Guests can enjoy a fixed menu plus at least three special items presented weekly. The Victorian house is beautifully maintained and located just a couple of blocks from restored Old Town, with street parking available. The restaurant also features a gift shop, and reservations are recommended.
