Food was decent, service was BAD. Went in there last night to grab some food to go. Angelica eventually came over to the counter to help me and when I began to order the ribs, she cut me off and rudely let me know they were out of ribs. Eventually came to the consensus of ordering the tri-tip meal, in which she let me know it would take about 20 minutes. Well, 40 minutes later standing there waiting for her to even acknowledge me, some other lady came up and assisted me. After a few more minutes, a different lady came out with a sandwich. Not only was Angelica a bitch, she got my order wrong. After watching her walk around aimlessly for those 40 minutes, I thought to myself I could've done all of their jobs better than them and with no damn training. Hire new employees that don't have their thumbs up their ass and you're likely to have more service. The food was mediocre. read more

Here is a restaurant fighting the fight against covid rules right! Food is great, staff very friendly, he's got heaters for his outdoor seating which is good cause prunedale gets cold. The inside is gorgeous, but sadly is inaccessible do to covid laws. And, like many locations, it was never designed to have outdoor seating. The owner is doing the best he can with that, but thats only reason it didnt get 5 star. The food, however, is really good. Beer on tap was awesome, my wife and i came away happy we stopped. Give it a go, you wont be sorry, and any restaurant that can stay afloat in "covidfornia" deserves to thrive! read more

The service, food, and wine is supreme ! Love the friendly family environment. To actually have a good BBQ in such a small town is the best ! It's fresh and delicious. Prunedale needed a place like this ! The Vineyard is local in Prunedale and is DELICIOUS ! Will be back ! read more

101 Wine Press - Tri tip with Mac and Cheese. Mind Haze on tap - Wine Bars Near Me - Prunedale, California

We went to get food on a Friday night. No place to sit. People were there mainly to drink. The restaurant was understaffed and the poor servers were doing their best. We had to share a table outside where the music was so loud you could not have a conversation. Food took a long time. It was cold. Won't be back soon and we are locals. Sad to see this place has not been able to keep up with the interest. Food was pretty good even though the wait. If you are looking to go have food and conversation I would reconsider this place on the weekends. read more

Great local place. Recommend the tri tip sandwich. Clean and great vibe. Great place to bring out of towners too

Great live music, cold beer and killer bbq. Love the outdoor space or even outside at the big community table.

Stopped by on the way to Santa Cruz. Stumbled in without checking out the reviews. It was surprisingly good. Nick was very friendly. It's so nice they have a 16 oz pouch and a 64 oz plastic bottle for to go drinks. You could even to go the draft beer on tap! Can't get any better than this. Chilli beans and ribs all have a nice flavor. Price is very friendly. Id suggest ppl to stop by and give it a try. Everything was very clean and food was prepped in a timely fashion. read more

Thank you for being the perfect stop on our way down the 101. Friendly, quick, and knowledgeable service. Delicious IPA selection. Thank you, Neil! (Only overheard the bartenders name, so hopefully I got it right) read more

The food is decent, but that's about all that can be said about this place. First of all, it's not cheap. Second, the service is unbelievably slow. Dinner took something like 45 minutes to appear. If you have all night, and just love waiting, then this is the place for you, but otherwise, go into Salinas and find a Mexican place. read more

Nice family dining experience friendly service and good drinks!10/10 would recommend it read more

Ordered the ribs. So much salt was applied they were inedible. Did give a 25% discount but will not return.

First time here, and we are very happy we came! Like everywhere, they seem understaffed, but Nick did his best to make sure our service was excellent. He was knowledgeable of both the food and wine menu. Wine flight was fun and I found a new favorite, Seabold/BOLD. We tried the cheese and sausage board, delicious! The tri tip El Jefe sandwich was amazing!!! I would come back for it! You can smell the barbecue cooking and they had huge smokers cooking in the back when we arrived. Service was slower, but we understand, and that is the only reason this isn't a 5 star review. Just make sure you have time to spare, then sit back and enjoy! read more

Lovin' the Local food. Tri tip sandwich a must try and of course the yummy wine selection read more

101 Wine Press - Curbside! - Wine Bars Near Me - Prunedale, California

We have been longtime regular customers at 101 Wine Press since it first opened. We did take out dinner tonight and it was VERY disappointing. We were informed they no longer have the broccoli salad, which is our favorite side dish so we ordered the pasta salad instead. The pasta salad was inedible, it burned my mouth. Pasta salads are not supposed to be overly spicy. The tri-tip sandwich was AWFUL. The meat was dry & tough, like shoe leather, It seemed old and just warmed up. There was no BBQ sauce on the sandwich, and no BBQ sauce provided on the side. Very discouraged. read more

Slimjim tri-tip salad with candied nuts and blue cheese dressing.... The dressing was unrecognizable, the candied nuts were salty, the tri-tip was cold and chopped small. Tasted like a slimjim. No thanks. Ordered no onions or tomatoes on it, and it came covered in onions and tomatoes. Server didn't write anything down. Sent everything but the garlic bread and crutons back. Still paid full price. Everyone elses plates looked mediocre. Tiny portions of blah. Warmish meat on a tray. read more

This is a must stop ! Awesome Food Wine great people you will not be disappointed !!!! Yummmm

This is a must stop spot in Prunedale. Amazing BBQ and the owner Nick is the most attentive and kind/caring person. This business deserves its spot and needs everyone's support. read more

101 Wine Press - Tri tip meal and EVERYTHING was amazing. - Wine Bars Near Me - Prunedale, California

We stop here once a year when checking out all of the succulent nurseries in the area. I diddnt write a review last year Becuase they seemed busy and understaffed. I thought maybe that reflected my experience with the service and food but I was wrong. Today we went there for the wrong drinks the entire food, service was no good and the food needed all the bbq sauce in the world to swallow. Asked for hazy little thing beers each time first time they gave me a 22oz modelo then a 16oz mine haze. Yes I should've said something but I just wanted what I asked for. I'll just bring pbj sandwiches next year. read more

I reviewed 101 Wine Press on their Facebook page when we ate their about two-weeks ago. The food, customer service, and drinks were exceptionally delicious!! Great job and keep up the great work! read more

We have lived in the area for years had high hopes for this place... Service was bad food was cold and people seated after us were served first... I really want to support local small businesses but this wasn't the way to take care of customers... read more

The best BBQ in Monterey county! Specially their ribs! Full of flavor and they honestly fall right off the bone. And not to mention their service, They make you feel right at home. Best BBQ place around! read more

Everything was great except the service. One waitress can't handle 7 tables. Even thought it's pretty slow and mellow.

I'm a big fan of real BBQ meat; So when this place open we were super happy!! A real BBQ place on Prunedale. The reason for the one star is the prices..... $28 dollars for a pound of Tri Tip; Are you kiding me !! Their competitors on Salinas, Aptos and the newly open BBQ place on Carmel, are around $20 to $22. Also they dont have Brisket or Pork... Why ??? To expensive for Prunedale... I'd rather make a small trip, either Capitola or Carmel... Heck even Salinas, than pay the ridiculous overly inflated prices. I'm a local and already feel sorry for not supporting a local business, but with high prices and lack of choices; You can kiss my hard earned money goodbye!!! read more

Food is GOOD! Their salads are next level but get it to go. Service is horrible and it's so loud in the space you can't have a conversation with your dinner company. I will definitely be back for take out. read more

The owner keeps hiring high school students it seems who don't even know the menu. It's not good service at this point. I had to get up and pay because my server was so inattentive, and then he has the audacity to bump into me multiple times while I'm in line to pay-- instead of offering to get me the check. I was trying to be empathetic because I used to be a server and I know how it is when you're busy, but this boy doesn't even understand order of operations in serving. The son's owner took my neighboring tables order and they didn't get their food even after my father and I finished (they had a child with them too...). So on top of all this, the music was way too loud and started towards the end of the meal and the owner decided to add 18% gratuity because we were there during music hours. Thanks for making my last meal with my dad here to visit a disappointment. I'm a local and I'm not bringing my friends and family to this establishment anymore. read more

We had a wonderful experience here. The owner was so friendly and personable. The food was over the top delicious I had a loaded baked potato and my husband had St Louis Ribs and Brisket that melted in your mouth and had just the perfect amount of flavor. Highly recommend this place. read more

We stopped here on our way home and it was fantastic! Great place to hang out with friends and have a few drinks. The cheese plate was impeccable. Will definitely be going back! read more

Great atmosphere! food is delicious! And of course one of my favorite wines. Keep working that magic!

I stumbled upon this place and decided to give it a go with the family. The food was fantastic, the people were attentive and kind. They are a new business and the staff are still figuring things out, but they are making progress. Prunedale deserves to have more places like this. It is a little on the pricey side, so be ready. It is kid friendly (mine are 10 and 12), and they have kids meal options. The trip tip was yummy (my daughter only let me have one small bite), and the ribs are amazing. Good stuff! read more

We got stuck in traffic on the way down to Monterey and we were starving. Pulled off of 101 and decided to eat here. What a fantastic place. Excellent drinks, friendly staff, great great food. Loved everything from the cheese platter to our sandwiches. Wonderful place. read more

This place is ok. It's not great if you take out though. The chicken is over cooked and the beans taste like they are out of a can. The ambiance is pretty good but I'm not sure that makes up for the food quality. read more

Really yummy local wine, great food options, and nice service and ambiance. Location is great too!!

The tri tip is Amazing! Sides are just ok. Definitely my go to place for the best tri tip around!

Best food in the area the owner is always on site and he's the fucking best amazing place

Enjoy going and meeting up with family and friends. The food, service and ambience is great

Best food! My favorite is the Tri Tip salad with garlic bread. Atmosphere is wonderfully modern and comfortable. The pictures show the exact same salad ordered on different visits. More uniformity would be good-but either way it tasted fantastic. Finally a nice place I can get a Keto friendly meal (minus the garlic bread). read more

I was just at 101 wine press and the skinny middle Eastern lady worker didn't see that I saw what she was doing as she was serving another table.She poured lagunitas hazy wonder beer an ran out of it so topped it off with Alvardo cold press. There you go customer two different beers. I can't imagine what she pours when nobody is really not around. read more
