After a full day of walking and tours of Hearst Castle, my husband and I were ready for dinner at Old Stone Station. The building used to be a gas station which is pretty cool! Decor inside is a bit eclectic and kitschy, but also inviting. I ordered a grilled salmon with garlic butter, rice pilaf, and vegetables. My husband got the filet migon with garlic mashed potatoes and vegetables. Overall, service was friendly and we enjoyed our meal! read more

Old Stone Station - Seafood Pasta - Seafood Near Me - Cambria, California

Sits on a corner with plenty of free street parking (at least in September.). Pups welcome and there is a cute outdoor patio that hugs corner; enter through that door (a few steps to access.) Lots to look at, fun signs and great vibe. Also a small covered patio at main entrance. The staff were epic. Very welcoming, kind and gave excellent sincere service. Appreciated the water bowl for my pup! Food is basic fare; you're not coming here for a foodie experience. Instead, soak up local color, meet and chat with others and enjoy a meal/full bar with your beloved pup companion! I'm here for a week; I'll be back. read more

I had a mushroom burger with fries, all ingredients were fresh . Beef was tasty. I love its western vintage decor. Our server was also always attentive..I'd definitely return. read more

Love the ambiance in this place! There's artsy pictures of Frida, Katarina and Marilyn Monroe plus old west artifacts. Our wonderful server seated us with a nice view of the street so we could people watch. You can get the fish of the day with salad, rice or fries. I got the Mahi mahi and it was moist and tasty. My friend loved her juicy burger and fries. You can also get beer, local wines, ice tea or lemonade. Everything was delicious and there's plenty of seating. read more

This is my second time here. I love their salads. So far this is all I have tried. But I loved it so much I went back again to get the same thing. I love a good steak and onions rings, and why not have it all on a salad! Everyone who works here is so friendly and helpful. The only thing I would say is it could be kept up a little more. I loved trying the patio this time. It was a beautiful day for it! read more

Wonderful service and just excellent, fresh food. It's a great place to enjoy a bit of sun even on a windy day.

A cozy mountain cabin style restaurant, with 2 floors of indoor seating and a small covered outdoor seating area. We had the breaded calamari appetizer which was okay. For the main entree, I had the bacon wrapped filet mignon with rice pilaf and vegetables. The filet mignon was tender and juicy, but slightly bland (maybe I should have asked for the peppercorn sauce?). The bacon strip wrapped around the edges of the steak was disappointingly soft (sorry, but I like my bacon crispy). The rice pilaf was very tasty, but the vegetables were too soft. My guest had the calamari steak with rice pilaf and vegetables. The calamari steak was identical to the appetizer except it came as a flat steak instead of strips. Nevertheless, it had a nice crispy crust and the calamari itself was okay. We were not offered a dessert menu; not sure if they offer desserts. Overall, the ambience and service were great, the food was average/good, and our dishes were in the mid $30's. May try it again and order something different. It's a cute little place with lots of personality and I hope they can up the their game food wise. read more

Food was mediocre at best. Ice tea was sent back, shrimp scampi was fair, hubby has to put A1 on his steak to make it palatable. Neither one of us got one of the sides that came with our meals and when I asked for bread we were charged $2. I really was disappointed. Cambria needs a GREAT steakhouse that serves Hearst steaks. Try harder Cambria read more

If I could give negative starts this place is the Winner! Fish and chips. Fish is like large Fishsticks. Ordered Alfredo pasta we got cooked noodles with tons of watered down Alfredo. Food came out extremely fast. I would prefer a little wait to have better prepared food. Overpriced read more

We came to dinner with our dogs on a January night. We sat on the front patio. There was a nice warm heater. Nothing fancy, but the food was solid. I had a Chinese Chicken salad which I enjoyed. Hubby had the calamari steak and he liked it too. Service was friendly and attentive. I recommend if you are in Cambria. read more

What a wonderful dining experience. Anthony, our waiter, was superb! Friendly, helpful, efficient. We started with the crab cakes, large and full of crab meat. My wife had their burger and rated it one of the five best she's ever had - and she's a burger aficionado. I had the baby back ribs and they were huge and tasty! Drinks were great (wine/beer only) and they gave us a complimentary dessert for my birthday. It's now one of our regular stops when we're in Cambria. read more

we wanted food to go on a quiet Tuesday to take to our hotel room. They gave us extra napkins, forks and even found a couple plates. The food was delicious and we'd like to try some of their other dishes on our next visit. Highly recommend. read more

Based on the reviews, I thought this would be a good place to bring my friend for her birthday. Unfortunately, I was mistaken. The window sills behind our table were unclean with cobwebs.

We were looking for an affordable lunch in Cambria and decided to drop into this place. Being a weekday, it was busy and we were seated right away and given menus. I ordered their Cajun Burger with fries and hubby ordered a bowl of their clam chowder. The food came out and was flavorful and filling. Service was attentive, there weren't any issues; couldn't ask for more! Their interior is decorated with random items like framed newspaper pages highlighting events in Cambria. It has a log cabin facade with fun tchotchkes hung up on the walls. It was entertaining to point things out while we waited for our meal! read more

We're in Cambria on a little getaway. There's no food delivery service so we looked for a takeout place. We tried the Old Stone Station based on reviews. The food was prepared quickly and nicely packaged. The food itself, was bland. We had the seafood pasta, fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and the fried calamari appetizer. The dipping sauce for the calamari was good, and the garlic toast was ok. The rest lacked flavor. Maybe we ate on a bad day, but we don't think we'll be trying anything else on the menu. read more

Good food. Decent service. Spacious room with a fireplace. A little bit cold but I just used the spare blanket.

Had the mushroom Swiss burger with the crisscut chips. Delicious! Decor is fun to look at. read more

Anthony is a fantastic server! Food is spot on. This is our go to place for a nice dinner. Cannot say enough. Highly recommend.

What a gem. Wonderful character and ambiance. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Menu selections are diverse and wine selection priced well. Background music was classic soft rock and played ...NOT overly loud. Which is wonderful. Finally the food tasted heavenly. We had the prime rib and chicken piccata dinners. Worth the effort to try this place. We will be back! read more

We ate there Sunday afternoon around 1:00 and I have to say we were very disappointed in the food. They did have excellent clam chowder and ribs, but the fish was horrible. It was like it was frozen and then deep fried... kind of watery when you bit into it and Something didn't taste quite right about the the batter or the oil. Also, we got a corndog for the little one and it didn't taste right or look that great on the inside either. The french fries were okay, but they were somewhat lukewarm. It got good reviews so we decided to try it, but I will definitely not go back. There was only one other family seated when we arrived, and one couple after we left... and it was around 1:00 , that should have been was our first clue. The staff was great though. I was looking forward to really good fried fish, but definitely not not there. Pretty disappointing. read more

We came here for lunch and it was a solid little meal. We were a party of 6 and we got lucky the place we mellow and had seating for us without a wait. The food we delicious and the prices reasonable, but our white wine with lunch wasn't particularly good, or chilled. Overall, it was nice , as was our server - she was really sweet. read more

Food was terrible. Claimed to have fresh fish but Fish and Chips was frozen and tasted very fishy. Returned the plate to server and she didn't ask what was wrong or if she could get us anything else.

The wife and I loved our dinner at Old Stone Station. The staff was great and the food was fabulous. We will be going back to see them in Cambria! read more

The facility was not clean. The shrimp scampi was watery, the baked potato was hard, the vegetables were hard, the chicken piccata was tasteless with a lot of capers. The servers were very nice. Very expensive for the quality of food received. read more

Great service, great food, and a very cool atmosphere. Overall a great experience! We were seated and given menus quickly, ordered soon after, and our drinks and food arrived promptly. The food was great, and the staff had a really friendly energy! read more

The food was very delicious. The atmosphere was nice and the service was really good. This really fun interesting restaurant that used to be an old gas station is worth a stop especially if you love steaks. read more

Just plain not good. The seared ahi was overcooked and tasted frozen. My kid's chicken strips were also frozen tasting. The dressing to my ahi salad was bad. Everything tastes not fresh and the bill was way too high for what we were served. read more

Old Stone Station was one of my parents favorites when they lived here almost 20 years and held many memories for us. So, we planned a dinner here on our visit, reading reviews and looking over the menu. I ordered the mushroom ravioli and hubby had the ribs. I asked for a dinner salad-- "sorry, we don't have salads" ...no salad at a restaurant???? Dinners were tasty, portions generous and service good. But the bustling atmosphere of the past was missing and it just wasn't the same. read more

Old Stone Station - An old Mobil station was its humble beginnings. - Seafood Near Me - Cambria, California

The menu looked promising and we were looking forward to eating in the patio despite the cooler temps. Only one table available that was occupied and no heater. No problem, we ordered to go in hopes of a delish meal according to other reviews. I ordered the sourdough clam chowder bowl, mediocre at best. Plenty of potatoes, no seafood flavor and a few tiny clams; so disappointing. Hubby ordered fresh fish, seared Cajun style; it was a rubber piece of fish with a strange seasoning I couldn't identify. His garlic mashed potatoes were not good, and we've eaten plenty of garlic mashed potatoes. The crab cakes were okay, we tasted chopped bell peppers and onions more than crab which were a good size. I'm not going to blame the pandemic on this review. I think the cook was overwhelmed with to go orders. There was quite the line of folks waiting for their orders. Maybe next time... read more

We came here Friday afternoon with some friends and we enjoyed the food here, I do recommend their french fries and their onion rings. They use to play 80's music, but when we were there they played oldies. I'm not complaining about that, the music was fine, but I'm just saying what I've experienced before. Two of us have been coming for years and this is the first time for two of our friends. read more

I've been coming here for years and the food and service has always been good until this past weekend. The young man that helped me and my mom had a bad attitude towards us and could care less we ordered our food to go and he had a unprofessional demeanor even rolled his eyes when my mom asked for a glass for her beer. Anyways food is always good there weren't too many people out in fact we were the only customers there along with the other party outside in the back patio. We had the crab cakes fried zucchini and ribs but everything on the menu is good. Check it out if you're in Cambria. read more

Came in here today for lunch. Always wanted to try this place, but they're never open until today. The hostess was nice, sat us outside in the patio. Our server was a young gentleman. Very pleasant. The hostess asked us for a water, she never brought it out. A waiter asked us for water, took them almost 15 minutes to get it. Our entrées literally took 30 minutes, our server did apologize. I have no idea why the food took so long. There was only one other table besides us. My buddy ordered the seafood combination. Everything was over cooked and a little on the dark side. I'd order the steak sandwich. Cooked just right, but no seasoning or flavor whatsoever. Potato salad had no flavor. I don't believe I've ever had such terrible food in Cambria as much as this place. Quality is way below average. Prices were very reasonable. read more

Old Stone is the best steak place in town. Great food. Competitively priced (for Cambria).

We had an excellent dinner at this restaurant this evening. We live nearby, and we enjoy many great local restaurants, but we had not dined here in over two years due to the pandemic. The restaurant was not at all crowded, given that it's a weeknight and Highway 1 is closed due to landslides. We enjoyed an appetizer (crispy prawns--4 large butterflied prawns--excellent!) and then ordered filet mignon and baby back ribs. Both meals were perfectly prepared. The meats and accompaniments (fresh vegetables and baked potatoes) were delicious and the service could not have been better. The server, Leo, is a treasure. We capped off the meal with lemon raspberry cheesecake...oh my! We will definitely be returning to this restaurant. (Did I mention the great wine selections? The J. Lohr Cabernet was perfect!) read more
