A must stop when in Half Moon Bay. Sandwiches get all the praise but try the roast chicken special if it’s available.

Bommy

Burger sandwich is absolutely delicious. Housemade potato chips and mac & cheese are tasty but nothing spectacular. Be sure to get the seasonal dessert . Ask to get the burger split in half.

Andrew Schmidt

Top 3 burger of all time. Fresh, well proportioned with perfect toppings. Herb salad was delicious too. Do not miss.

Sarah Trott

Everything was good (service, food) and I highly recommend the Mother's Herb Salad which doesn't seem like much but you will find that it is extremely tasty

Dave Hoffman

A hamburger sandwich is really the star here! It’s an amazing beef patty with great flavor and a fried egg on top.

Saturday morning veggie tamale. It was good, but the Salvadorian tamale in the banana leaf is the best. I will be back soon for that one. - Meg

I like this place a lot. The food and beer always hits the spot even though it's not amazing. Combined with sitting outside watching the sunset, makes for one of my favorite dining experiences. - Greg Schechter
