I got a supreme enchilada with chicken. It came with chips greasy beans and no flavor at all. Our waitress was okay I asked questions if they had alcohol and said they don’t do open bar only wine and beer. Every question I asked I felt dismissed especially with the facial expression she made after I asked. My son got the cheeseburger on the kids menu. Tasted to salty and he didn’t like it. 4/10 wouldn’t come back

My Fiancee and I were on a cross country trip of the United States because my fiancee is going blind and she wanted to see the country before her eyesight is completely gone.We stayed at the motel 6 that is connected to Windmill Restraunt. We ate there before we left for our next destination. Just want to say that the food was delicious but more importantly a big shout out to the waitress who was so kind to my fiancee and the owner who gave us free souvenir s. You will always be in our thoughts and prayers. We are back home in Michigan now but our hearts remain with you. What pleasant world this would be if only there was more people in like you. God bless each every member of your staff it was truly an experience we will never forget. You truly are what this crazy world needs more of. Hope to see you all again. You really touched our hearts.

Stopped on our way south on 101. Right off the freeway, convenient, quick, friendly service, reasonable prices, and pretty good food, generous servings.

What a surprise for a weary traveler to find this gem along the roadside. Really exceeded my expections. I can see why this place is so busy. Because the food, service, and atmosphere are all wonderful. Look forward to dinning here again. And the staff is wholly committed to making the visit go well. I really enjoyed everyones company while there.

The food was good though I asked for medium rare and my burger was definitely under done. I can't complain too much because the food was good. Service could of been better. Very sweet girl though didn't ask if everything was ok and didn't offer a refill on my drink. There were only 3 other customers. She didn't check in on anyone. The restaurant was clean.
We were on a road trip from San Jose down to Paso Robles and stopped here for lunch. The food portions are huge, the food was delicious all around and the staff super friendly. The menu had a large variety but everything they made came out perfect. Very impressive to have a large menu and do everything to high quality. We enjoyed it so much we came again on our way home and had just as great experience the second time.

Today's review from your very own foody critic and backyard chef is about The Windmill Restaurant in Soledad, Ca.
I love good food and quality service !! I am not affiliated with anyone at this restaurant and this is just my personal experience.
First off walking in here we noticed it was very clean, tables wiped down, silverware placed and ready for customers. Waitress had a smile and seated us right away and got all our drinks. It was a bit noisy from a family with a few rambunctious kids being kids, but after they left, it was very quiet and tolerable.
We haven't been here for about a year and thought we would give it a try again. During Covid, everything lacked quality, customer service and satisfaction.
Today the food was absolutely delicious, prices $$$ as all places these days were a little high, with most burgers and pasta plates starting around $15.00-$25.00. I'm good with price as long as my experience is worth the expense.
The owner (Jose) is opening another Windmill Restaurant I hear in Salinas, Ca. coming soon. The servers were very nice and very attentive, something that lacks nowadays. Waitress kept glasses full and checked on us if we needed anything.
If you're in the area, give this place a try, well worth it and you'll leave feeling satisfied and amazed that little hole in the walls still exist with great folks and food. This place does some Italian, Mexican and American plates. Huge portions. You won't be disappointed, I gave this 4 Stars for noise and prices, but I assure you, it really is 5 Stars for the area.

Traditional food, a few north European specialties, ample portions and a fun decor inspired by Nordic tradition.

This was a lovely restaurant i attended with my partner yesterday. The food was good and i enjoyed the setting very well. Although it was something quite nice in the moment, it quickly turned into a not so comfortable atmosphere with what seemed to be a worker there who already had the experience and a new employee. The guy there had been explaining something to the lady since they seemed to be on some sort of device, later on the guy seemed very aggravated and raised his voice at the lady making backhanded comments towards her in which i picked up. Something along the lines with her vision and if she had a problem seeing she should get her glasses in a very unprofessional and unmannered way. Making me and my partner feel extremely uncomfortable, we could obviously feel the lingering reactions and emotions of the people there.
