3 Best American Restaurants in Salinas, CA

Beautiful building with a covered patio and live plant wall, open kitchen with counter or table seating in an authentic diner theme, and a bar with a fun atmosphere. We split a California burger and bleu cheese lettuce wedge. Look at this enormous chocolate cake that could feed a family of four! They also have dessert cookies to go. Mmmmm

New items on the menu, new interiors, new staff too but I definitely miss the old version of their famous Chocolate Mousse which we've cherished for over 20 years and now miss it as it is a little bit different. This place has impeccable service, ambiance and staff go above and beyond to serve you and cater to customers preferences. Heated outdoor patio for a private party too possible without feeling disconnected from the main restaurant.

The food is great, I really like the bbq chicken salad. The staff is always very friendly. I like their outdoor seating best, the bar is also really nice and comfortable.

Let me start by saying I was at the restaurant around 7am. The service I experienced was actually extremely amazing. My server Olga was extremely polite, and tentative to me as a customer. She answered any questions I had with a smile on her face and with a positive attitude. The food had a nice presentation and tasted great too. I had something that was new to me, it was Eggs Benedict, but with chicken fried steak instead of Canadian Bacon. The combination made for a flavor bomb with each bite. The hollandaise sauce was a little broken visually, but still tasted great. Biscuits and gravy were super solid and the biscuits are huge. The Potatoes where cooked nicely, but the vegetables in the Country Potatoes could have cooked for a bit longer. They still had the raw taste of a vegetable instead of a grilled or sautéed taste. I will definitely be visiting again in the future, highly recommend. Parking: Lots of parking as it is located in a shopping center. Wheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible entrance and walkways throughout the restaurant. Roomy.

This chain is one of our favorites. When you sign up for the rewards, you get a free breakfast just for signing up and then another one on your birthday. The food is typically tasty and with good portion size. The decor is consistent throughout the chain, and the music from the jukebox is varied and upbeat. Just wish they would put a restaurant in Big Bear, California! Kid-friendliness: They have a small store with a lot of infant and smaller kids items.

I had the Spicy Sausage Omelet and it was delicious. I wasn't expecting the onions, bell peppers, and topped off with homemade chili sauce on top. But I'll tell you... it was the best breakfast I've had in a long time. My waitress was also prefect.

My server Stephanie is always a delight. I’ve been going there for about 25 years and she has waited on me more times than I can count. Never once have I had a bad experience when she takes care of me and my family, even when she is busy. She is very professional and very friendly. I enjoy the conversations we have had over the years and look forward to many more.

The service was just amazing and our server Eduardo was really attentive and had a great smile. The Salmon we had was really tender and the bourbon skillet was delicious. We had an apple crisp for dessert and it tasted amazing. The restaurant was really clean and staff very friendly.

Had an amazing time for lunch the other day, food was good! And service was excellent. Cant wait to go again!
