    Fried chicken sandwich with olallieberry slaw
    Sam J.

    I can't go to Cambria without obsessing over olallieberry everything. I don't know if there is any better place to get your fix than Linn's Restaurant. I was last here 15 years ago and I cannot wait 15 more. I'm going to start with the dessert. I was choosing between the white cake with buttercream frosting filled with olallieberry jam and the cheesecake with olallieberry sauce. It was recommended by the server to get the cheesecake. He was 100% right. The cheesecake was great and the sauce was even better. As an added bonus he gave me a small sliver of the cake to taste and that's how I know it was the right decision to get the cheesecake. Usually I'd get an olallieberry shake but the timing didn't work out right. I had the fried chicken sandwich with slaw on it and a side of the olallieberry slaw. I loved the slaw. I like the sandwich. The rest of our party ordered ribs and felt it was nothing to write home about. The Asian salad was well received. The meat loaf and vegetables looked really good. Linns is a cool spot and open later than most things which is super helpful if you're in the area.

    Service: Employees were kind, thoughtful, and attentive. Restaurant: Clean, uniquely decorated (with vintage bikes) and has small little store in the front for jellies, treats and Knick knacks. Food: Portion sizes are more than filling. I ordered a cup of the Tomato Basil Soup which was delivered nice and hot with fresh basil on top. I also ordered the starte Mac and Cheese because I saw the entree portions and wasn't that hungry-but even the starter was a large portion-and was yummy. It does come with red peppers (as noted on the menu) so it isn't a kids Mac and cheese. Some bread comes to the table with butter and a jam they are known for olallieberry jam-very delicious. Dessert: got a Olallieberry cream puff to go-I was grateful to find napkins and two forks in the bag. I did not tell my server I was traveling so I was very grateful for the forks without remembering to ask! The cream puff was also very large and shareable.

    - Server cramped our company of three into the smallest table (larger two-person tables were available) - Coffee was lukewarm - Hash browns were burnt - Overpriced

    Came by here the other day while in the area and grabbed a cinnamon roll with Pecans and an Olallieberry cream muffin! I remember when their muffins were huge back in the day...service was great!

    I had high hopes since I had heard so much about Linn's. But was rather disappointed. Their menu has all sorts of weird fancy foods. I ended up with some sort of chicken sandwich but it had weird relish on it. The fries weren't very good and had a bunch of mustard seeds on them. Service was very slow to refill my bottomless soda. The only redeeming piece of the meal was the delicious dessert!! Oh, and they have a fun little shop attached where I spent way too much money!!

    Beautiful building.... Does not fit the rest of the towns motif and it kind of stands out, however still has the old town charm. The inside felt really crammed... the second we walked in we were overloaded with merchandise! It was overwhelming.... Store front , bakery .....restaurant....tremendous amount of bicycles all over ..... too much over stimulation.....after we ate and were about to leave the entrance was overcrowded and blocked off so we had to maneuver through the merchandise packed area to go out the back and walk back to the front of the building. We had a disabled person with us and that was very awkward! The servers were friendly ... however it seemed that the substitute had an up charge as we were told when we ordered our food. The food was alright .... I heard a lot of "oh it's so good .... It's amazing " but it left little to minimum taste excitement for me. The Eggs Benedict was running for some on our table and overcooked for others .... The sauce seemed too coagulated . The flies.... More shooing flies than eating! Can't say it was "oh so good " for me , but I'm sure it's a hit with the locals .

    Three of us stopped here for dessert on March 8th, 2026, our way up the coast...fantastic! If we hadn't had big food planned up north, we would've eaten lunch there!

    Linn's is a highly rated and recommended restaurant so we stopped by to check it out while visiting Cambria. Located in east village and on Main Street, it's on the corner and can't be missed. Very happy we came here for lunch because we had a great experience! I had the chicken pot pie and finished every bite. The chicken filling and gravy was tasty and the pie crust was perfect. We also had the turkey sandwich with salad which I would recommend if you're looking for a light lunch. The ollalieberry dressing on our salad was a great choice; the berry isn't as tangy as blueberry but tastes like a cross between that and a strawberry. They also have a to go service option on the side. We stopped there to grab a slice of the ollalieberry pie : highly recommended! Great service and food.

    We came here for a much needed lunch while visiting Cambria. We were seated right away. I love their decor. With all the bikes along the walls and ceilings. This ud a well established foundational type restaurant in Cambria. I love reading their origin story on the back of their menu. They have a nice little gift shop next to their bakery. As well as the main dining area. Service was ok. Hit and miss. They were fast to seat us. But some things like getting spoons for our banana split took a while. Food came out quickly though. Being in olallieberry country I had to go with their olallieberry burger. My wife went with their taco. And we split a side of sweet potato fries. The fries are really good. Cooked well. Not too oily. Nice crunch. Love the subtle sweetness with it. Their sauce too is good. The burger was massive. Great flavors. Sweetness and tartness from the olallieberry. Good amouny of savory-ness. It was messy. But it was really good. Moist patty. Really enjoyed the bacon in it. The lettuce added some freshness. It was rich, but it was also really good. The cheese in it worked extremely well to hold everything together. My wife also enjoyed her taco. We had to get some dessert. So we went with the banana split which had ice cream (chocolate and vanilla) and olallieberry jam all over it. It was rich and decadent. Everything worked well together. It wasent just sweet on sweet. But it had layers of sweetness. And all the components (banana, ice cream, olallieberry jam, almonds, etc.) added so many layers to the dessert. Had it with a cup of coffee and it was pure perfection. Definitely a institution in Cambria that you have to try at least once when your in town. They habe baked goods to go. From whole pies to mini pies packaged and ready to go. To slices of desserts. Glad to have experienced it!!

    Went into cambria for lunch which is a nice small beach town in the central coast. This restaurants exterior is gorgeous. Such a beautiful building. Inside, there is a small store where you can buy books, crafts, wine, and pies. The pies here are amazing by the way. Even better? The lobster sandwich that I ate for lunch. I didn't have much expectations for lunch. Usually when I'm in the central coast, it's a constant dose of tri tip. This sandwich was an instant surprise. Perfect amount of lobster. Comparable to getting a good lobster sandwich in Boston or Maine. Service here was top notch too.

    Raspberry rhubarb pie à la mode.

    A couple years ago, my hubby and I came here for the olallieberry pie à la mode. It left such an impression that we had to come back. This time, we had the raspberry rhubarb pie à la mode and it did not disappoint. The crust could have been better but is was still overall, yummy! The ice cream they use is so creamy. I definitely still plan on coming back.

    Do they serve barbecue ribs?

    Did not see any BBQ ribs when I was there in September. They do have a rack of lamb though.

    Do they take reservations?

    No they don't

    What side dish would you recommend?

    The side of vegetables and the mashed potatoes that came with the chicken pot pie were so good, they stole the show from the entree!

    Do yhey have a full bar?

    no, "full Bar"

    Does Linn's take reservations? Edited to add: I called Linn's to make reservations for our party of 4 and was told they only take reservations for partys of 5 or more but they would see what they could do. We were given a reservation. Worth a call.

    Yes

    How late is breakfast served?

    12:00 PM

    Is it a dog friendly restaurant? Is dog allow for outdoor dining?

    Service dog friendly..I do believe the cafe to the rear of the property is dog friendly with outdoor tables (still part of Linns)

    Will you be open on Thanksgiving? If so, hours and same menu & service as always?

And the onion rings were pretty boring. I don't think they make them there, I am not sure about that, though. But they had kind of a generic look and feel to them, but the problem was they had zero flavor. Like nobody put salt on them when they took them out of the fryer. That's the first thing you do when you pull something out of a fryer, you season it. The server was nice enough, but they have a thing now where if you ask for water, they want to sell you a bottle of water. I get that things are tough for restaurants, but I almost rather pay a little more for the sandwich and get water, if you know what I mean. I'm no food expert, or running a restaurant expert, these are just my reactions as a local who stops in here fairly regularly. I think if the folks who run this place feel like there's any value to my little thoughts, they would be easy to fix and wouldn't cost anything at all really. I've been coming here for years, and I want these folks to do well.

I have frequented both the Cambria and Fresno locations, partially due to the consistently decent service and mostly due to the quality and quick food. It doesn't matter if you show up right when they open, or if you arrive when there's a line out the door waiting to place orders, service is always much quicker than you'd expect. Food is decent--whether you get a salad (note-the side or small salad is huge--it fills a full to-go container), fish and chips, a sandwich or burger. Substitutions are usually not an issue, and ranch/bbq sauces are available at no extra charge. I'm generally impressed with how absolutely fresh the lettuce and veggies are for the salads. I really have grown used to spending $10 or more for a much smaller salad at other locations and have grown accustomed to picking out wilted/rotted veggies and lettuce. Not here-everything is cold, crisp and fresh. Meat is seasoned well-- and the fries are plentiful. There is usually plenty of seating, whether inside or on the patio. Parking can be rough along Main Street, but if you're patient, you can usually find something fairly close. It does help that the grill is towards the end of the street. Rest rooms are limited and often running low on supplies. It can be quite a wait during busy times. In all, this is a great place for quick and decent food. It is consistently enjoyable for the whole family. We'll definitely be back whenever we visit.
