Went to the Coffee Shop for the first time and got the mocha…SO GOOD. and you can tell they treat your coffee it like its an art form to them. Our barista was Thomas and he was so kind and actually talked to us like humans instead of customers. He was even very methodical with the espresso, you can tell he’s mastered it. Overall, a fantastic place to study or work on your laptop for a few hours. 1000% coming back again!

The fried chicken sandwich, pulled pork sandwich and almond milk latte we had here were all amazing. The big indoor booth was lovely.

We have made this a regular place for happy hour meet ups, family dinners, wedding party welcome to town events and many other functions. Both heated outdoor seating, Indoor seating and bar area seating. It is plain and simple a great place with great staff and good eats.

I used to really like this restaurant but it has really gone downhill.

1: Food and Drinks

First off we found two hairs in our food

The menu has shrank. They used to have a bigger menu that varied and super high quality food.The quality used to be amazing. Now the menu is small, the food is mediocre and it doesn’t come with a side like it used to.

The cocktails used to be hands down the best on the coast. They were beautiful and elegant and tasted amazing. Now they are very mediocre and take a long time to get.

2: The Service

This used to be a very nice restaurant with great servers. Now you order your food up front at the counter and take a buzzer. For your drink you have to take a receipt and go to the bar wait 5-10 minutes for a drink. Then go get your own food. For one this eliminates local jobs I used to be a server so that offends me. But also if I spend $50-$100+ I expect to be served. This isn’t The Habit.

3: The Atmosphere

I will admit the patio is still nice but the restaurant is empty and clearly for a reason.

Super cool vibes and a killer outdoor setup!
Pig Iron has an awesome atmosphere…laid-back, stylish, and perfect for hanging out. The outdoor area is spacious and inviting, with a full bar that keeps the energy going. Great spot whether you’re grabbing a drink or settling in for a meal.

I ordered the tri tip torta with fries. The torta was decent…flavor was a bit mild for my taste, but still enjoyable. The fries, though, were a standout: super thin steak-style fries with a crispy snap that made them surprisingly addictive.

Menu has plenty of tempting options, and the vibe alone makes it worth a visit. Definitely a place I’d come back to, especially for drinks and that outdoor scene.

Concept keeps changing from order at counter, if the bar is open or not. Food is great.

Hubby and I stopped here to kick off our central coast vacation. LOVE the decor, shop, bar, outdoor area. Lots of small details to create the perfect vintustic (vintage+rustic) vibe! My pulled pork sandwich and fries were perfect. Hubbys tri-tip was good. Server Dallas was kind and attentive. 3 stars is for Will, the bartender who nearly ruined the experience for us. I went to order a cocktail and asked for menu, he was right in front of me but did not look up or respond. The bartender at the other end of the bar instead replied and handed me a menu. I then waited for about 10 minutes while he stood behind the bar not doing much, refusing to make eye contact. While I stood there, a male customer walked up and he offered to help him immediately. When he finally served me he handed me my drink without a word or eye contact. Dude, you do not belong in the service industry. Promote more servers like Dallas and ditch the dude with attitude behind the bar.
