Traveling through town and came for dinner - Food was awesome and portions were large - service was great too. Has a local feel to the place for anyone visiting and wanting something more genuine.

Danielle

Really small so you’ll definitely have a wait (went on Saturday AM at 8:30a & it was already an 1.5hr wait - and they opened at 7:30a!), but it’s worth it. Food is really good and service is quick

Mo Dyson

Always ask for the special on the weekend. They are fab! Also, not many people can handle even 1 griddle cake by themselves so bring a friend and enjoy the deliciousness. We will be back! :)

John Kidde

Great breakfast spot . Sourdough French toast was delicious. The staff are friendly and even though they’ve got a small space, they put out food VERY quickly.

Becky Stinemetze

Delicious breakfast once we were served. We sat for almost 10 minutes before anyone asked what we wanted to drink. Monterey Jack omelet was really good. Should have split one. They are huge.

Jerry Smith

Breakfast was amazing, everyone is super friendly . Recommend sitting at the bar so you can watch the chef work his magic. And the breakfast was magical.

Abbi Conklin

Had an omelette ... it was delicious! Cute place but since it’s small and popular, expect to wait a bit for a table. It’s worth it though!

Douglas Gray

Try the comically large pancakes , one is enough for 2 people. Syrup is served in a travel mug.

Camille Brenkwitz

Great service, tasty food, awesome location, fair price . Super cute little place on the warf. I'll be back!

Christopher La Rosa

Portion size, huge. Crab cakes were tasty. Great location and atmosphere. Will come here again to try more things on the menu

Anne

Seriously awesome place to eat. Crab salad amazing... Clam chowder delicious... Highly recommend!

Erika Dyson

This is a cozy and low key place with tasty food and very friendly folks . The hash browns with basil and Parmesan are so good!

Jeff Smith

The Cinnamon French Toast is perfect. Just the right amount of cinnamon and butter.

Stacy SquirrelyPants

The waiter wasn't exaggerating in the slightest the massiveness of the pancakes ...you've been warned. Yummy!!

Tavis

Try the chowda!

Tass Angiolillo

Camille Brenkwitz

Best crab cake ever!!

Trevor Yoho

Classic greasy spoon with a good location on the warf. Stay away from the sour dough French toast it was only 3 small pieces and I left hungry going to another diner across the warf to finish the job.

Vincent DeVictor

Excellent food, the wait was no issue. Even notified us about the meter maid.

Dan Navarra

Calamari breakfast ftw. That dude who said the service was bad was right. Misheard two orders: diet Pepsi and add spinach . :( otherwise great.

Sherry Li

Great for breakfast or brunch .

Morgan C.

Hours aren't as posted here - on Sunday they open at 7:30am, and 9:00am on race days.

Olivier DEBUQUOY

The clam chowder is amazing and the staff very friendly

Aisea Laungaue

Clam chowder reaches above and beyond the hype. You won't regret it.

Morgan C.

The restrooms are the public set at the front of the wharf.

Jeremiah Tipton

Service has become very poor. My food sat for 5min before i finally asked the server if it was mine. She was to busy flirting with a guy at the bar and showing off her tattooed shoulder to the world.

George Cederholm

Want a beer with that? Wait in line for a seat inside!

Christopher La Rosa

Crab cakes and hubcap pancake

Richard Singer

Sat at the counter...best chowder in Monterey :)

Anna Smirnova

Perfect breakfast !!!!

Chris Burnham

Really good squiddle and eggs !

Kayla Huhn

French Toast portion is very small for the price.

Chris

Great Staff...unbelievable Salmon burger

Cindy P.

Try the clam chowder , it's the best.

Chris Miller

Not worth it. Avoid this place, terrible orange juice , bland syrup , dirty silverware, looks like they took their sugar packets from other restaurants . Weird place.. I don't get the hype.
