People don’t just come here for the food — they come for the culture. The parking lot alone is a show. You’ll see some seriously fancy cars and motorbikes lined up like an unofficial exhibition. Somehow this rustic old farmhouse has become a gathering spot for car lovers, and it adds to the whole experience.
The space itself is full of old-world charm — huge dining areas spread around the wooden house and spacious outdoor area in multiple “tents”. I personally love that worn, wooden, cozy vibe.
Food-wise, it’s classic American comfort done right. Everything tastes fresh and authentically made with care. My tuna melt was toasted perfectly golden brown on the outside and generously filled inside — simple but amazing. Bonus: it’s dog-friendly, so our dog babies can join too.
Definitely a place you go for the full experience.

We have been going here for years and it'salwaysbeengood. What a disappointment today. My husband ordered Eggs Benedict it had lunch meat on it! Ham lunch meat! The hollandaise sauce was orange. A handful of potatoes that's it.we should have sent it back.

Drinks only - Location and service is great, but the food is bad. Good Beer selection on tap, Trumer is my current favorite but there’s more.
Portions are large but it just doesn’t have the same high quality food as Alpine Inn, which is not too far down the road.
Thai chilli chicken Pizza came in a box and was doughy (ick) so you didn’t want any more after 1 slice…. you get the idea

Alice’s Restaurant is a classic Bay Area stop that lives up to the hype. The panini sandwiches are delicious, hearty, and made with quality ingredients, and the homemade potato chips are next level crispy, fresh, and addictive. Simple food done really well in a setting that feels iconic.
On weekends, the car scene is wild expect everything from vintage builds to insane supercars rolling through nonstop, which makes it a fun place to hang out even before the food hits the table. That said, it does get super busy, so plan accordingly and bring a little patience.
Great food, great energy, and a must-visit spot if you’re driving through Woodside or just want to soak in the scene.

Great spot after a hike for a casual lunch. Shared the enormous chef's salad and there was plenty for the two of us. Owner is very involved and stops by table to make sure all is well. I love the location with plenty of outside seating options.
Great spot for Breakfast my friend and I had the Corned beef hash and eggs! Everything was delicious the service was very good as well and fast - we had the drinks on the table before we sat down. All in all it was a pleasant breakfast experience in a beautiful setting and a very convenient and scenic location.
