The trip was completely spontaneous since we had been in Big Sur earlier that day, but it ended up being well worth the drive. I never would've expected this market to be tucked away at the end of a residential street, but once you get close, you can smell the food before you even arrive. The sandwich was incredible...huge enough that we had to share it. The meat was so juicy it was literally dripping down my fingers, and I made an absolute mess eating it. I would definitely return. It truly feels like a hidden hole-in-the-wall spot run by hardworking, down-to-earth people. The owner was personable, engaged in friendly banter, and made the experience even better. Plenty of locals stopped by during our lunch, and what really stood out was that he even remembered my friend despite him not having lived in the area for the past three years.

The soup of the day was split pea, I've never had a better one! With chunks of ham and vegetables, it was the perfect amuse-bouche! Next comes the Tri-tip sandwich! Tender, juicy and full of flavor! Last but never least, the ribs! Tender, fall off the bone, smoky! We got the full rack for four of us, we each took home ribs for the family! We stopped here on our road trip and I suggest it to anyone looking for a lunch stop! Will be singing Martin's praise for years to come!

Not only was the food on par but Hamada as bartender making drinks on point you can't go wrong with the General Historic Bar if your looking for a cool environment with chill vibes and great food and drinks this is the place. I've tried to restrain myself from writing a review because it may come off like I'm biased and plus I wanted to keep Gate keep this place as my bar and didn't want anyone to know but this place deserves it's flowers!

I like corned beef hash from time to time, and ordered it from Stevie's this morning without being…read moresure what theirs would be like. It's impossible to ruin hash totally but at so many restaurants you get your eggs on top of an overly salty cake of meat and potatoes that might well have come out of a freezer. Not at Stevie's. To my delight the over-easy eggs (perfectly cooked by the way) were on top of freshly made potatoes and meat, with really fresh-tasting onions and a touch of other vegetables. Replete with flavor and not salted too much. I'd be prepared to say this is the best corned beef hash I've ever had (and at age 69 I am no spring chicken) and well worth the trip.

It was a good amount of egg and chorizo but not nearly enough cheese. The salsa was homemade and spicy - definitely made a statement! My husband had the chorizo scrambled eggs with house potatoes. Both the eggs and potatoes were great. The staff were friendly and helpful - yes, even "the daughter" previously criticized by other reviewers started badly, but then transformed into a very warm person. It's not a place you come to for atmosphere, but for good food it works and the staff clearly work hard. One caveat, the women's restroom needs some work.

Menu it appears they're willing to change by trend. We all had burgers, but we double burgers or split burgers. Soda is refilled, except handcrafted sodas. In the future; might want to research seasonal coleslaw or broccoli-slaw for change up of side menu salads. Other: fried or steamed vegs as possible finger food. Portion side, it was expected. Shio liked the bacon melt leftover. I found out what was missing alfalfa sprouts made taste elevated. Not sure if they would add pan fry egg as optional item. Server was good, he explained things better, and ambiance wasn't too noisy to hear him. Server did say you can seating arrangement is up to customers. Noon time on Saturday seems like less busy, my brother was telling us, hard to get in, reserve spot, and appears like that way only if there was a live game it said so in commercials. Packed to where ppl were waiting in line get in. They do work hard making place clean. Thank you for the good food it was yummy. Edited at desktop, mobile doesn't allow much for spellcheck. Note: 1-star rating ppl might have gone when it was live game. Suggestion go when it's lunch or game days are re-played. Patience is a virtue, try to eat more when you go out.

But the food was good and very different from anything we can get in San Francisco and I love artichokes. We ordered the Artichoke Platter to share and each got a side cup of creamy artichoke soup. The platter had a very large, perfectly steamed artichoke with a small slice of ( sweet) artichoke bread and a generous serving of fried artichoke hearts with mayo and another dip. Really good! When's the last time you saw all those artichokes on a menu? Service was good . Restrooms were not great. But I'd say Go if you're having a roadtrip and driving through Castroville ( the Artichoke Capital of the World) and you like artichokes . And that giant artichoke is a fun photo op.
