Got the crab cake eggs benedict. It came out super wonderful and nice. Very delicious ???? Also got the Country Fried steak and... eggs. Food was a decent amount and tasted good.

I took my mom to Pacific Grove for a vacation and decided to try this place for breakfast one morning. I am so glad we did.... Its a very nice and clean place. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. The restaurant was very clean and the staff kindand very attentive. We sat down and browsed the menu. I decided to order the 2 eggs and meat breakfast for 13.29 on May 18th2022. It comes with the choice of bacon...turkey sausage...ham or pork sausage...honestly potatoes 2 eggs cooked the way youlike them and an English muffin. The bacon was crispy and absolutely delicious...the eggs over medium...the potatoes and muffinI like cooked extra. The entire breakfast was simply delicious... My mom ordered an omelet. I do not remember which one. Shethought it was good. She did not like the potatoes that much...she said there is an herb in them that isoverbearing. Overall...I would definitely come here again..

We waited 40 minutes to be seated but it was well worth the wait. The food was outstanding. Even though they have a large queue,... they are operationally very efficient and are doing their best to manage the crowd. We had the eggs Benedict and ham avocadocrepe. It was delicious. Portion sizes are large and satisfying. They serve it with pepper plant sauce. You can also buy thesauce from the reception counter for $5 if you are interested. Read more
First time checking out this local legend of breakfast foods. Everyone liked their choice of food (including the children), the... servers were nice, the atmosphere is good, and they managed to accommodate our group of 8 fairly quickly on a Federal holidaymorning. Not my first choice of breakfast places in town, but will definitely return. There was a long line when we left theplace, so definitely come early for your breakfast fix. Noteworthy mention: ample parking and a huge outdoor seating area. Read more
Excellent brunch spot near Cannery Row. They have lots of comfortable outdoor seating with shade and a fire pit. The meals we... all got were excellent. The orange juice was fresh-squeezed. They do not serve alcohol. Read more
Best breakfast in town. We came as at noon when there was a long waiting line. It worths the wait!!! Large portion but tasty at... reasonable price was what we looked for. Definitely recommend to reserve a table in advance and ready to be full. Egg Benedictwas my favorite but apple oatmeal pancake was so delicious too. Read more
