    Ms Piggy Burger and The Godfather (pancakes, eggs, and bacon!)
    Charlotte S.

    Fast service, food was delicious and huge portions for the price!! Ambiance was cute and rustic, felt like we were in a cabin in the middle of woods. It was a bit hot in the restaurant, I don't think they had A/C, but it also was an unusually hot day in the SC area. 10/10 I would come back!

    Came here with hubby and our big pup on a Saturday for brunch. There was a small crowd waiting for a table but we waited ~20 min. Sat outside (it was a nice day) and our server was Mayra. She was great! Brought out a bowl of water for our pup and was friendly and attentive. We got the John Wayne burger and crab cake Benedict. They were delicious. We got the unseasoned chicken breast for our pup. She gobbled it up! It was so nice to sit out on their patio. Spacious and friendly vibe. Highly recommend!

    Benedict's Place

    Love this place. I can say it can be a hidden gem. It is family run business and has been around for for decade. They serve American style dishes which you will find at most of American Diner place. We arrived for brunch/lunch and it was busy that time. They have indoor and outdoor sitting and we chose outdoor. It was nice sitting area where you can freely speak. We order Benedict's Place, Don Juan Salad, just two eggs, potato and taost, extra bacon and chicken fried steak. the portion is good and price wise, they are reasonable. The food was yummy. I like the benedict and also fried steak and the gravy. Overall service was ok.

    My family and I were visiting Santa Cruz and Big Sur over Labor Day Weekend. Heavenly Roadside Cafe is a popular place. We arrived around 10 am and waited about 10 minutes to be seated. We ordered the following items: huevos rancheros (9/10). The sauce was tasty! The short stack of pancakes was amazing!. The Rico Suave burger with a side salad, 8/10. Last but not least, the cab sandwich and bacon with fries. 9/10. The service was excellent, and the staff was friendly and helpful--plenty of parking available. I suggest you arrive early to avoid waiting too long. We noticed it started getting busy after 10:30 am on a Monday.

    Great service, good food and lovely vibes. Mocha was great, nice coffee and not too sweet I love the small plate crab cake, it came with salad, just the right portion for me Smoked salmon Benedict was awesome, the cubed potatoes were delicious, salmon was tasty and the runny eggs were amazing. We seated outside under the tree shaded area, it's a pretty day. The staffs were fantastic too, smiling and quick service

    Loaded potatoes

    A great find on our vacation when we needed a breakfast spot on the way to the Santa Cruz area on a Tuesday in June. We were seated right away and the food came out super quickly. The service and food was great. Reminded us of a restaurant we frequent near home - even the dishes were similar. I had the loaded potatoes which were delicious. My son enjoyed his omelette. Definitely recommend this hidden gem!

    Service was a little slow this morning, but food tasted great, prices are fair, and the portions were pretty large. A great classic American breakfast/brunch option in Scott's Valley (probably my favorite in the area)

    Heavenly Roadside Cafe is such a hidden gem. I tried the veg club sandwich, eggs benedict and the Cobb salad. Honestly, everything was delicious! The portions are huge like you definitely won't leave hungry. The staff is super friendly and the whole place has this relaxed vibe with really nice outdoor seating. It's the kind of spot you stumble on once and want to come back to. Highly recommend!

    Veggie Benedict, and a classic breakfast with linguica
    Sheena M.

    Bomb! So glad this location is open. Such a beautiful setting with nature around. Kinda loud and busy inside but still enough space. I got a veggie Benedict which had spinach and mushrooms. Super good. Potatoes were great too. No complaints about my friends, with linguica. They are busy but Service friendly and efficient. Would definitely go back. Menu looks delicious

    Do they take reservations?

    Any gluten and dairy free options?

    Try eggs and bacon with orange juice and coffee with artificial creamer--doesn't seem that tough to find a meal

Erica the bartender helped us at the bar with food and drinks. The second time I was engaged and I wanted my engagement party there. We set it up by the couches with "Happy Engagement" sign, "she said yes" napkins, Ring straws and Ring balloons. We all talked, took photos, had mimosas and brunch. Everyone was attentive and just had an amazing time. about 20 people showed up. The third time we went to the pool with 3 kids. It was a bit pricy for 5 people with food and drinks. It also did take a little long like 30 minutes for drinks but it was fun and the pool was warm. They brought out a pretzel that was rock hard.

Last yr I spent many sunset evenings w/o ever being asked to leave .. guess they thought I was a member. I asked her about happy hour food and she said happy hour is in the bar... I told her I wanted to check out the happy hour and went inside -she should have informed the pool closes at 5 at that point. I said hi to the bartender and inquired of the happy hour and that I was enjoying the pool. He then informed me at the bar to get happy hour prices I had to eat in the bar and that I could not take my happy hour food outside to the pool. The young man at that point should have informed me of the pool closing at 5 as well. I ordered. 2 tacos and grilled shrimp and it took 52min to arrive. I asked the guy bartending twice if he ordered my food. I got back to the pool. It was a few minutes after five after jumping into the pool the nice attendant informed me the pool is closed. I got charged $ 35 x2 for two people to not use the pool because I went inside to get happy hour food. A lot of non communication A lot of taking advantage of peeps unaware ! Not cool

The lobby was cute and clean, the staff was friendly, and our room was clean, comfortable, and perfect for our getaway. I actually slept SO well, which never happens for me in hotels! The location was great. We went sailing in Santa Cruz and did a beautiful walk through the redwoods. We also decided to have dinner at the hotel one night and were so pleasantly surprised!

Sid was our waiter and he was wonderful--friendly, attentive, and made our dinner even better!

    Poor Service, Hidden Fees, and a $300 Smoking Fee Charged to Non-Smokers…read more My stay was extremely disappointing and reflects a breakdown in basic service standards and billing practices. During the stay, there were no towels available at the pool, daily room cleaning was not provided, parking transactions included additional service fees, and coffee from the lobby/breakfast area carried a $5 charge. These issues were inconvenient, but the primary concern arose after checkout. After departure, I was charged a $300 smoking fee based solely on an air quality and humidity detector reading. I do not smoke. During the timeframe in question, I was using a small water-based clothing steamer to remove wrinkles from clothing after travel. The charge was not disclosed at checkout, and no physical evidence of smoking was provided. Hotel staff acknowledged that these types of sensors can be triggered by factors unrelated to smoking. Despite this, no independent review or investigation was conducted, and no additional evidence beyond the detector reading was provided. I was directed to dispute the charge through my credit card issuer. I escalated the matter to Hilton corporate customer service, but the case was redirected back to the same property without independent review. The General Manager did not respond to multiple outreach attempts, including email and a request for a callback. After researching, I found similar complaints from other guests regarding smoking fee disputes at this property, raising concerns about how these charges are determined and reviewed, and the reliability of the technology being used. I support non-smoking policies; however, issuing significant charges based solely on a sensor reading without supporting evidence or meaningful review is not acceptable. This experience has significantly impacted my confidence in both this property and the consistency of issue resolution within the Hilton brand. I would still welcome a fair review of this charge and a good-faith effort to resolve the matter appropriately.
