WOW, Ragged Point restaurant has some of the BEST freshly baked bread I've ever had. This review is ~4.4 stars, simply because the hostess seemed judgmental, and the Parpadelle pasta also seemed off. Other than that, the mango avocado salad was great, the soda noodles were yummy (but VERY soy-saucy), and the parpadelle was good (besides how the actual noodles were cooked). read more

This review is for a lunch meal and dinnerat the sit-down restaurant. Traveling along the coast from Morro Bay on CA HWY 1. Need to find a spot to have lunch. Perfect timing that this place came up. Got seated right way and I ordered the Mediterranean salad. Was a good portion, fresh ingredients with the right amount of protein (shrimp). If I were going to go back, I would recommend it. The ambiance is like dining in a greenhouse with a patio deck available. Very welcoming and pleasant service staff. Plenty of free parking and restroom are very clean. Ragged Point is more of a complex; it has an Inn, convenience/fuel station, art gallery/gift shop, coffee shop/snack bar, and burger shop (which was closed). Based on this experience alone, I would have given them 5 stars. However, read on. We continued our drive up the coast and did some hiking. Knowing that we would stop here for dinner, because we had such an enjoyable meal for lunch. Boy was this not the case. We were totally disappointed. Seated right away, but took a long time to for someone to take our drink order and meal order. Staff are over worked and seem and confused. We saw some people seated after us get their orders in before us. If we had other options, we would have left. But remember you do not have a lot of options on CA HWY 1. Ordered the Pork Chop, It was supposed to be a Iberico Tomahawk, it wasn't, it was a regular pork chop (be it was a good size). Supposed to come with Apple-Potato Hash, I received regular mash potatoes. Supposed to be Grilled Broccollini it was raw broccoli. When we did get our drink order in earlier, I requested a glass of Chardonay, never received it, but also didn't get charged. The menu does state the pork chop "(cooked medium)" mine was questionable (as a matter of personal preference I never send anything back, I've been known to box it up and cook it longer at home, rather than sending it back). I noticed two other dinners send their steaks back because it was undercooked. This meal was not worth the cost or time. I would not recommend you dining here. However, do stop, because of the views are wonderful. read more

Posting a review for our second visit to Ragged Point Inn Restaurant. Our first time was great, we had both a breakfast and dinner, the quality of which was surprisingly good. On our most recent trip, however, we had a shockingly bad experience. We reserved a table for 6 people about a month in advance for Thanksgiving dinner. We called to confirm those reservations again about a week in advance, and at that same time, received an e-mail advertisement inviting customers to join them for a special Thanksgiving dinner. When we arrived at 6pm, we waited 10 minutes before any hostess or server even appeared. When one did, she informed us there were no inside seats left. I questioned how that was possible if we'd reserved over a month in advance, and she replied 'everyone else reserved as well'. Which obviously isn't helpful since 'everyone else' was seated and we weren't. After another 5 minute wait, the hostess informed us they might have a table available in 10 minutes. This was puzzling since there were literally two empty tables in the middle of the restaurant in full view from the entrance. They did find a table, next to a window (not one of the two empty tables in the middle of the restaurant), and it was another 10 minutes before a waiter or waitress approached our table. That waitress seemed surprised, and took our drink orders only. Another 5 minutes passed and an older gentleman asked if we were ready to order. Most of us ordered the Thanksgiving meal special. It came out fairly quickly, but one or two meals came out well after, and were incomplete (no mac & cheese was available on the platter and nothing was substituted for it) The Thanksgiving meal special (which was approximately $60) was inedible. The meat was gristly with lots of fat. The green-beans were undercooked, and the stuffing looked as if it had been poured dry onto the plate (rather than moistened or actually stuffed in a bird). The gravy was cold. Two other tables (on either side of us) complained to the waiter about the meal and refused to pay. To the waiter's credit, he said they would not be charged. We also politely told him that that the Thanksgiving meals were horrendous, and he removed them from the bill without argument (as if waitstaff and everyone else already knew what they were serving was not something they could seriously charge anyone for). Throughout it all, there was no manager present. The hostess was incompetent and the food was atrocious. Maybe they sent regular staff home for the holiday and brought in a temporary team for the special holiday dinner. Whatever the reason, it may have been the worst restaurant experience we've had in 10 years and ruined a holiday meal (for which it was too late to organize anything else). I strongly recommend avoiding Ragged Inn Restaurant based on this, particularly for any special event or holiday. read more

Ragged Point offers spectacular views of the California coast and a nice break from the drive. If there's a spot free in the parking lot, it is worth a short stop just for that. We dined on the spacious patio with our husky and found it pleasant enough (although just be aware, if you have a dog, they seem more "dog tolerant" than "dog friendly." Our waiter was visibly annoyed that we had ours with us). The menu had a nice range of choices and portions were large (too big, actually - we both had some left over but didn't think it would last the drive). While the food looked good, both my sandwich (pictured) and my husband's fish and chips were quite bland. Customer service could also be better. read more

The best views! Grab a seat on the patio on a sunny day if you're able to. Although the ocean isn't very visible from the restaurant itself, the outside grounds are so well landscaped and you will see many beautiful birds. Once you finish your meal, take a stroll to the viewpoints on the grounds. Absolutely stunning views of the coast! Iconic photo ops. The food at the restaurant was cooked well. However, overall it lacked salt and seasoning. Also, the fried chicken on my mom's meal was extremely overcooked. If they can correct the seasoning and not served overcooked chicken, this would have been a 5 star review. read more

The service, menu, and ambiance at the Ragged Point Restaurant are my favorites on the Big Sur coast. The view, soothing sound of waves, feeling of solitude and overhanging hills are just amazing. The wine list offers an excellent selection of local, central coast wines. The dinner menu is impressive. Imaginative and offering something for any taste. Every dish I have tried was well prepared and presented, and delicious! read more

Beautiful scenery, nice location, service was slow, food was not impressive. I ordered Hoisin Ribeye Skewers and a bowl of soup. The rib eye on the skewers were pretty much raw...definitely no seasoning....did not taste hoisin on any of it. Soup was very bland. Disappointed as the grounds were so beautiful!! read more

We came in 15 minutes before closing and yet they still accommodated us with grace and energy, we are so grateful! Our server was friendly and made us feel welcome and wanted, which was great after our 4 hour drive to the location, and no other food options were nearby. The chicken and risotto was delightful, I highly recommend. I ate every last bite! The fish and chips were well received, too. And they have a healthy portion of chicken fingers for those in your crew who aren't into fancy things. Not to mention the view is breathtaking! It has high potential to be very romantic. I guess that's why people choose to get married here :) read more

We thoroughly enjoyed our late lunch here while driving this area of Big Sur Hwy 1. The food was great and came out quickly. They had a menu full of great items, and we enjoyed the fish and chips and the Birria sandwich and onion rings. Loved that they had Pepsi products as well. Service was quick and friendly. Views from the outside siding were great & they also had ample indoor dining. Definitely walk around and enjoy the property like we did. The views of the seaside cliffs are amazing and there is a nice path to walk around. The gift shop on property is also nice. We plan to come back here someday and stay on the property, as it looks great! read more

Eight of us on a eBike ride arrived for lunch (with reservations) and were immediately seated inside with a nice view of the great scenery behind the restaurant. There is also beautiful patio seating. Service was friendly and great, with frequent touches to refill waters and teas and inquire other needs. The clam chowder was excellent with a thickened base full of clam and potatoes. The Butternut Salad, Monte Cristo Sandwich and all the desserts were terrific! There is also a Coffee Bar that serves espresso and tea drinks, beer and wine, pastries, and to-go orders from 8 am to 3 pm every day. read more

Such a pretty little spot. Nice place to have some brunch on the way back from Big Sur/camping. Super pretty and quaint and lovely live music when we were there. Nice views of the ocean as well. There's also a hotel, coffee shop, snack bar, small market and gift shop as well. The drinks from the coffee shop are really good. We got some drinks to go after, but during our meal we really enjoyed the Big Sur Fog Tea Latte - earl grey with caramel and chocolate. It tasted like a fancy milk tea, but the focus is still on the tea flavor. The flavor was very earl grey tea forward and beautifully complimented with the caramel and chocolate flavors. Toasted marshmallow was great too. As for the food, the crab benedict was delicious - the crab cakes were perfectly seasoned. Th calamari katsu was very unique - tender and not chewy/rubbery at all. Good breading, nice and crisp. The side of macaroni salad was really good, love the big pasta they used for it and it wasn't heavy at all or super heavy on the mayo like it usually is. The biscuits were fire, beautifully flaky with good raspberry jam, served with butter and honey. I enjoyed the shrimp and grits, the shrimp was cooked perfectly, not rubbery at all, perfect seasoning and fresh. It's good that the grits came with the toppings of the shrimp, bacon and peppers, otherwise the grits would have sadly been a bit bland/underseasoned. The cheese flavor was not strong enough with the grits. It still balanced well with the saltiness of the bacon and shrimp otherwise. I would come back here when I visit Big Sur again, Deetjen's is still my favorite, but this place is better than Whale Watcher's Cafe. read more

Views and accommodations looked great (except for the bathrooms). But it stopped there. Service was poor and the food was 1-star stuff.

We went for lunch on a Saturday while hiking in Big Sur. Ragged Point is a nice place with a variety of services available. On this day you could get a bbq, and watch the live band. We chose the dining room. The food was delicious and the service was ok. The coffee was excellent and so were the snickerdoodles. read more

The California Lime Pie was so good... It was the absolute best key lime pie I've ever had! Which is unfortunate because I'll probably never be back here again since I was in the general area for vacation... The girl working at the register was very kind and patient! This one lady came in ordered some coffee, left and came back asking for more coffee, the girl gave her extra. Then the lady left and came back asking for another... So she got more. Then left and came back a third time... Insane... And asked for extra again. She got the third extra helping and then left still disappointed with all the extra coffee she got but the employee helping her was smiling the whole time and super understanding and patient. I got the grasshopper which was alright, I wish there was more mint and chocolate flavor to it. The espresso was strong and I think overwhelmed the flavor of everything else so I have no idea why that lady needed so much extra coffee in hers. We also got the fog cake and that was pretty decent. Very sweet. My friend enjoyed his boosted strawberry lemonade which was a special for the day. read more

Ragged Point Restaurant - salmon salad, avocado mango salad, soba noodles - American Near Me - Ragged Point, California

The food was great, however I made a reservation and they couldn't find it. We were sat and 6 tables around us were sat after us and all got their food long before us. After an hour I said to another server that we still hadn't received our food and then our server brought out our food. He sat our plates down and said "you're welcome" we never saw our server again and the server who ended up helping us, closed us out. The restaurant is very pretty inside with live edge tables. The sucky part is if you're staying here this is the only option. Come early, it can be a long wait. read more

What a beautiful spot, I'm surprised it currently only has 3 stars. Everything we ate was delicious - crab benedict, shrimp and grits, byo omelette, and calamari katsu. The biscuits that came with the omelette were to die for! Definitely opt in for those instead of the toast. The grits though was a bit bland, would opt in for the potatoes. Service was great and accommodating, got a high chair for my nephew and had outdoor seating for the doggo. The views were fantastic and they also had a musician playing too. It just felt like the perfect Sunday morning with the fam. Also all the beverages deserve high praise! Some stand outs - Big Sur Fog Tea Latte, Toasted Marshmallow Mocha, Honey Bear Cold Brew and the Prickly Pear Mimosa. read more

The wife and I shared the berry salad and the fish and chips. She had a cup of the chowder, which was delicious. We did find a hair in the salad, and I found that the batter was not so well cooked on a couple of the pieces of fish; however, the fish tasted very good and fresh. Service was OK, not overly attentive, but reasonably friendly. Ambience is amazing, their glass covered patio as well as outdoor seating in such a gorgeous location is what makes this place special. This would be a three star review at best without the location. Pricing was reasonable for the level of Restaurant. read more

So we were staying at ragged point and I made reservations to go to the restaurant on site. And I also will probably go tomorrow morning for breakfast. Our server was RGabriel.. He was very attentive and nice and highly recommended the Branzino which is a white fish similar to Seabass. It was exceptional. I'm glad we didn't have leftovers except for some of the wine as we had bought a bottle earlier and drink half of it. forgot to take a picture of the food. I'm so mad. They serve bread, which is nice because a lot of places now charge you. We got some Honig Sauvignon Blanc. If you are spending any time at the Inn, you must try this restaurant. The view is nice and very calming. Now for breakfast, I give it 5 stars. All the food was excellent, omelette, black cherry preserves, fruit, coffee. Also the prices were extremely reasonable. Again RGabriel was our server. Found out 60% of the staff, hotel, restaurant etc., live on site. read more

We've had lunch earlier in the year and everything was fine. The food and service were both good. Today, we went there for breakfast. I had the Eggs Benedict and my wife had a veggie omelette.

Keep in mind we sat outside and the ambiance was so beautiful as we could easily view the coast! Thank you for the good food, great customer service and beautiful view read more

Ragged Point Restaurant - Fish n chips and Mediterranean salad - American Near Me - Ragged Point, California

Came here on a Sunday night during our stay with a reservation. I'm not sure if they were short staffed but the service to get seated, get our orders taken, and to get our food all took forever. Which was fine, we weren't in a rush, but the hostess was stressing us out the way she was running around and making remarks about how stressed she was. Overall the food was just alright, nothing special. We got the mushroom bisque and expected it to be creamier but it wasn't. The oysters were shucked pretty poorly, we also had to ask for 1 more oyster since they only gave us 11 out of the dozen we ordered. A mid option since it's the only restaurant on the property and there aren't any others in the immediate area read more

Great location but do not recommend eating here. We got the hamburger with fries. Our hamburgers had absolutely zero flavor. Even the lettuce and tomato had no flavor? Not sure why that would be...maybe they froze them? The fries tasted good though! Only order fries from here if you are really hungry. read more

I don't know why this isn't rated higher. I had 3 meals here. 2 dinners and 1 breakfast. The first night I ordered the sea bass. The beurre blanc sauce was perfect and the filet was cooked to perfection. The asparagus was a little dry but it was because the asparagus wasn't very big. The next morning I had the breakfast burger and fruit. The burger is huge, juicy, and combined with the egg so delicious. The next night I had the filet. It too was cooked to a perfect medium, tender, well seasoned and the potatoes it came with were delicious. For staying here I highly recommend this place to eat and the coffee shop is amazing as well! My husband had the ribeye and it was huge and juicy! read more

I'll be honest, this restaurant has potential but it was incredibly underwhelming, overpriced and BLAND. The server was nice and understanding when we sent our food back but the chicken tenders were the highlight and best food that we got at the table, that's just SAD the fish and chips were SOGGY & BLANDDDDD! like not even salt added, bland. And you can taste that the batter was old! We immediately sent that back. The halibut tacos were ok at best, the fish was overcooked so it was dry.. the sauce and pickled onions helped but the pineapple salsa sucked too. Overall, my 2 year olds tenders was the most appetizing meal served. I feel like this place charges a lot cause of the location, it's a nice view. But the food seriously needs some help! read more

This is a bit delayed, but I promised myself I would review this place. My cousin got married here this year and I had the chance to eat here about 5 times over the weekend. It was a nice change from what we have here in southern Oregon. I had many dishes, some pictured and some not. The food was great! Very homemade, and a great variety. The wedding hosted over 100 people, plus standard hotel and summer traffic. And service was still on point. Friendly, fast and the staff is funny! Very relaxing vibe on the inside, nothing too fancy. Really enjoyed everything I ate, and I look forward to revisiting here. read more

We ate here like most because we were staying there however Cambria is in not 20 minutes away. I ordered lamb chops with forbidden rice and string beans and a Ceasar salad. The Ceasar was not a Ceasar and was very bitter with almost no dressing. The lamb was good albeit overcooked. The rest had zero flavor. My wife's dinner was good however the lobster bisque before was room temp and not good. If you stay here which is very nice plan ahead and eat elsewhere. read more

Another 5 star visit to our favorite restaurant at the end of Highway 1 north of San Simeon. This time we had a fabulous dinner and breakfast after spending the night at the inn. Their shishito peppers were the best I have eaten, with oil, fresh ginger and cabbage for added flavor. My fish and chips were excellent. For breakfast I thoroughly enjoyed their cinnamon french toast out on their view patio. My husband and I have eaten here several times, and thr roughly enjoyed each meal plus their specialty cocktails and great wine choices. read more

I loved the vibe of this place--rustic chic and so inviting. The food was fabulous, and we ended up enjoying breakfast, lunch, and dinner here. Breakfast and lunch were great, with casual café-style dishes that we enjoyed on the dog-friendly patio (big plus for bringing our pups along!). Dinner, however, was the standout. The food was exceptional, and we had a lovely time dining indoors. The only downside was the slow service, likely due to limited staff, but they were all very pleasant and accommodating, which made up for it. This spot is definitely worth a visit, especially for dinner. If you're here for breakfast or lunch, don't miss the coffee bar--it was another highlight for us! read more
