Beautiful location & we sat outside to have lunch. We were greeted joyfully & the food was freshly made. Burger & chicken sandwich delish and huge. The fries also hot and tons. We took leftover fries to go. Def worth the drive for the beautiful views, great service & tasty food. read more

The ambience was wonderful - its a spectacular site high on a cliff over the Pacific with exotic plants and an indoot/outdoor dining pavilion. The food matched the quality of the setting and for a similar price was a cut above any other meals we had on our trip. Well worth the drive up US 1 if you are in the Central Coast region! read more

Had lunch here after going to Hearst Castle. A beautiful sunny day so we ate outside. Such a beautiful setting with a low key vibe. I had a chopped chicken salad, very good. Hubby had oysters & halibut tacos. All very good. The inside dining looked nice as well. A nice path to walk along the coast. Dog friendly. read more

We had an absolutely great experience at Ragged Point Restaurant. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The food was great! Gabby was our waitress and she was amazing. If we lived nearby we'd make this a regular restaurant on our list. read more

My salad was very good. My husband wasn't thrilled with his tacos. Too plain and the guacamole sauce didn't have much flavor. Once we were seated, we were served quickly. A lot of attention by the staff. read more

My husband and I ate here last night and really enjoyed ourselves. I am surprised by all the negative reviews because we thought the food was very good! I got the soba noodle dish with chicken instead of tofu and it was delicious. My husband got the chicken and risotto and it was also very tasty. We got the rib eye skewers for appetizer and it was cooked just how we love it (rare). We finished it off with chocolate cake for dessert and it was HUGE. We also had cocktails and beer, all of which was good! We spoke with one of the servers and shared how much we loved the food and he said he would tell the chef. He also shared they got a new chef about 6-7 months ago. Ambiance was great outside, we lucked out with the sunset and enjoyed the warm fire. All in all, super great. We look forward to staying at the hotel again and eating at the restaurant. read more

This place is secluded and beautiful. The grounds are lovely. Arrive before sundown so you can enjoy the laws, views, birds, and overall good vibes. The only reason this restaurant does not get five stars is because the service was slow. The food was amazing, though. I had mushroom bisk and a shish-kabob-type thing. It was yummy! When the waiter was getting a box for me, he noticed I was taking our uneaten bread, and he popped a couple more slices into my box. He gave it to me with a wink. ;) There is a fire pit outside which adds to the ambience inside. We sat on the other side of the window, watching the dancing flames. Earlier during the day we took a walk around the grounds and enjoyed watching a koi pond. It's lovely there. Definitely not crowded. But then again, the highway is closed past that point so there is no through traffic. We will definitely be going back for another great meal. read more

I stopped there on my way back from hiking. It's nice and casual so it's fine to go there in workout attire. The service was A+ (Fernando is excellent, super nice guy!), I'd also give the food an A (had the sobe noodles and they were absolutely delicious - not bland as so often the vegan option is) and the water is so good that you don't need to order a drink. Dropping a star for ONE reason...how can you not give your guests wifi when you're in a dead zone? The wifi is on site but no password for restaurant guests. Boo. read more

This is one of the very few restaurants in the area. The food was really good. We tried the crabcakes and the ribeye skewers for appetizers. My wife got the mushroom bisque soup and I went with the halibut and chips. Most of the food is around $20 or so. If you want to have a nice enjoyable meal, this is one of the handful places in the area if you're camping up north. Either you had further south or going north, there really isn't anything else except for self prepared food more or less. The alcohol prices are more in line with metropolitan areas so realize you're going to be paying for it. Otherwise, if you want a nicer evening, this is a place to go if you are in the area. everything is what you would expect, but nothing is really special or stand out. Solid restaurant, but nothing you would go out of your way to visit. read more

I made a reservation on Mother's Day for brunch for my mother and aunt. when we got there, the check in desk was unmanned with about 15 parties ahead of me. When someone did come to the desk she did not look up to acknowledge anyone. After much confusion we were seated. We waited 1 hour 15 minutes to get our food and it was cold. I did not send it back afraid it would be longer wait for 2 warm poach eggs. Before leaving my aunt used the restroom. While in there she slipped on the wet floor( no hand towels). My husband picked her up off the floor and got her in a chair. Thankfully two patrons helped get her settled. Meanwhile the staff were dodging around her and not one of them asked about her welfare. it was a not so joyous Mother's Day. We will not be back. read more

The food and service was fantastic! View amazing!!Fernando and the support staff were attentive and informative. We had the grilled Branzino with lemongrass rice and it was absolutely delicious with a little bit of spice. We also had imberico tomahawk pork chop and it was grilled perfectly. We also got the ribeye skewers as an appetizer and the mushroom soup and a butternut squash salad all highly recommend and craveable. Worth the drive up from Cambria!!! read more

I had not been here for several years but was excited to celebrate Mother's Day as in the past our family had shared many a celebratory meal together. We made reservations for the 5 of us, and we arrived a little late but had phoned ahead to let the host know. We arrived and were seated right away- check. We were left with our menus and were not asked for our drink order until sometime later, probably about 10 minutes. We wanted to order our food as we had two very hungry children with us. We were told by the staff they were only able to bring our drinks and the server would be along. We had seen a gentleman running around quite a lot, and at one point I had flagged him down for the kids menu. I went to the parking lot to retrieve something from my car and passed by the host and asked if she could find someone to take our order. A panicked look, so I told her we had very hungry children so we needed to order please. I returned from the parking lot and our drinks were brought, but still no one to take the order. Roberto arrived a few minutes later, and turned out to be the gentleman we had seen running around serving food earlier. He took our orders quickly and efficiently and then we waited for our food. While the frown on our grand daughter's face began to grow, and with arms crossed heading to a melt down, the food arrived. Yayyyy Roberto! I and my daughter in law ordered the halibut tacos (see photo) messy, but very flavorful and topped with a yummy crunchy cabbage slaw and mango with avocado crema. Absolutely delicious! My son ordered the steak sandwich which he said was very good. We ordered the chicken strips and fries for the kids (pretty typical frozen and breaded. The food overall was as good as I remembered in times past. The location is just spectacular and worth the drive. The lower stars are mostly because one server cannot be responsible for so many tables, although the restaurant was not overly busy when we arrived. There were several large parties like ours. From the time we arrived until our food arrived was almost an hour which is not a big deal unless you have children who are needing food. ASAP. Next trip we will bring snacks in the car for the drive. Kids will be happier, and more inclined to wait and so will the parents, and the grandmother. read more

Ragged Point Restaurant, Ragged Point, CA - November 29, 2023 We arrived at about 2 pm on a calm sunny Wednesday afternoon. It wasn't too crowded and we were able to get a table on the outdoor patio that has umbrellas for shade. They also have indoor seating with a beautiful view of the hotel grounds and ocean in the distance. Our servers weren't the friendliest, but they got us seated with water and menus, and were pretty quick to get our drink orders. We ordered a bottle of the 2022 Hearst Ridge Winery Glacier Ridge Chardonnay. I was pretty surprised it was only $28 a bottle. It was very tasty! The wine was brought out quickly and we submitted our food orders - the salmon salad, and the roasted pepper salad. Shortly after, our server notified us that the pepper salad wasn't available, so I went ahead and ordered a vegetarian sandwich on grilled sourdough bread. Both meals were delicious. The salmon salad had blue berry, pomegranate, raisins, pickled red onion, avocado, roasted beets, spinach, kale, cabbage, brussel sprouts, pumpkin seeds, and a beautifully cooked grilled salmon with a spicy lemon cayenne dressing. Incredibly delicious as you might imagine. The veggie sandwich was on a grilled buttered sourdough bread, with melted provolone cheese, a grilled red pepper slice, thin tomato, pickled red onion, grilled mushrooms, grilled peppered zucchini, grilled spinach, grilled eggplant with a spiced white pepper olive oil. Very good! It normally comes with whole wheat bread, but I special ordered the sourdough. It also came with a pickle, a slice of pineapple, and a slice of honeydew. You really get a lot for what you pay for here at the Ragged Point Restaurant - two delicious meals with a bottle of wine overlooking the ocean, all for about $100 with tip. After our late lunch, we walked down onto the hotel grounds and looked out over the ocean. There is a trail that leads down to the ocean from the hotel grounds. It looks like it's at least 800 feet down. A little more than what we wanted to do on this particular afternoon. read more

We came here in a group with 54 Corvettes and had a delicious lunch and Bloody Mary. There were close to 100 of us and we all ordered and got our food very efficiently! I had the veggie sandwich and it was delicious, minus the under ripe tomatoes. My husband got what was probably the largest hamburger I have ever seen. The Bloody Mary's were so good and loaded with toppings. read more

I'm surprised by the low reviews of this restaurant .... this place is fantastic! We came here for dinner after an 8 mile long hike in the Big Sur wilderness and were blessed with a fresh, hearty meal. Let's start with the atmosphere! The entire restaurant is covered in glass, so the breathtaking views of ragged point - the foamy ocean waves, the precipitous sea cliffs, the golden bluffs of the Silver Peak Wilderness - hit you from all directions. The service was very good. Our waiter took our order right away and our food was brought out soon after. Saving the best for last ... the food was FIRE! I got the chicken achiote. The chicken was perfectly tender and the risotto was delightfully creamy. My mom got the fish & chips and thought they were delectable. The halibut was extremely juicy and the fries were warm, crispy and not at all greasy! What really impressed us was how fresh our food was. After a long, exhausting hike, our meal at Ragged Point Restaurant was a welcoming and nourishing end to our day. We 100% recommend this restaurant for any occasion! read more

The location is absolutely spectacular, right on a cliff at Ragged Point, with breathtaking views of the ocean. It's a perfect spot to take in the scenery and stretch your legs, especially if you're passing through on a motorcycle trip to Big Sur, like we were. We spontaneously decided to have breakfast at the Ragged Point restaurant, but unfortunately, the food was mediocre and the service left much to be desired. On a brighter note, there's also a bakery on-site that looked inviting, while we didn't try it, it definitely seemed worth a stop for coffee and a pastry. As a scenic stop or even an overnight stay, Ragged Point is a great choice thanks to its incredible views. Just don't expect much from the restaurant if you're only planning to stop for a meal. read more

This was a really great find on the way to Big Sur! We stopped in around breakfast time. The food was delicious, the service was above par, and nothing can beat the atmosphere! We sat outside to enjoy the beautiful scenery and fire pit. After breakfast, we explored and took a hike down to the water. read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. This was honestly one of the worst experiences I've had in a long time. The place looks great at first, but that's where the positives end. We were seated at a beautiful outdoor table and planned to enjoy a couple of drinks and something to eat. When our server, Gabby, came by, we ordered two drinks and a double espresso with milk on the side. While we were looking through the menu, we decided we'd grab food somewhere else, but still wanted to relax and enjoy the space and our drinks. To our surprise, Gabby came back and told us--very rudely--that if we weren't ordering food, we couldn't stay. I politely asked if we could at least finish our drinks. We hadn't even received the coffee yet, and the drinks we did get were mostly ice. She flat-out said no, that the table was reserved for someone else... even though five other tables outside were empty, the inside was nearly empty too, and no one ever came to claim that table the whole time we were there. They told us to move inside but didn't say where, and there was no clear access or guidance. We found a random corner near the restrooms where we were basically left standing. Then the coffee came out--in a paper cup, and it was clearly a single espresso, not a double like we ordered. When we asked for the milk (that we had specifically requested), we were met with attitude. It felt like we were doing something wrong by expecting to get what we paid for. Then they told us we had to pay right then. Which, of course--I wanted to pay. I had every intention to enjoy myself, spend money, and have a good time. Just not for this kind of treatment. I tried to pay with Apple Pay, which they didn't accept, so I had to walk to my car to get my physical card while being made to feel like a burden. The other server--guy with a tattoo on his lower left arm--was equally rude. The tone, the way they both talked to us, was just disrespectful. It made us feel like we weren't welcome from the moment we said we wouldn't be eating. The worst part? The table we were told to leave--the one that was "reserved"--stayed completely empty the entire time we were finishing our drinks by the restrooms. I've worked in customer service. I know the difference between having a rough day and treating guests with total disregard. This wasn't just a bad moment. It felt like they didn't want to be there--and they made sure we felt that too. Beautiful place, awful vibe. Never again. read more

My husband and I came here for dinner on a Sunday night while camping in Big Sur. We got to the restaurant at 5 pm and there was a short line of other people wanting to dine. Part of its popularity seems to be because there's an inn on the same grounds as the restaurant, and because it's also the only decent restaurant for miles. The ambiance here is very charming. There are a good deal of seats outdoors and it's lovely to sit outside and eat just as the sun is setting, which was also the case when we dined here. We had some issues with the service. We waited a bit of time to be seated. The restaurant seems understaffed and the existing service staff on the night seemed harried. It also took a while for the staff to take our food orders. My husband and I shared the Caesar salad for an appetizer. For mains, my husband had the fettuccine while I had the osso buco. If I had to consider the fact that we were in a pretty remote area, I'd rate the food as pretty good. Otherwise, the food was good but could have been more memorable. I'd recommend it if you're visiting the southern part of Big Sur. read more

TL,DR: Ambiance:3 Service:3 Food :3 This place is utterly mediocre in all aspects. I got the halibut tacos, but they were out of halibut so they subbed sea bass. Wifey got the fish and chips. The worst part about them were the tortillas. I live in San Diego so I am very familiar with the heavenly taste of freshly made tortillas. These ones obviously came from a plastic package pushing a little past its expiration date - and they didn't even bother to heat them up before serving them. But I'm letting this slide for two reasons: one, because the taco filling was copious and overstuffed and actually pretty tasty, and two, because I feel like my standards for tortillas are too high for a restaurant so far north of Mexico. Anyway, also got a side of onion rings that were pretty much the same as every other place I've ever had onion rings. Everything was reasonably priced considering how boring it all was, except for the wines, which were outrageously expensive, so we didn't bother ordering any. The service was ok. Nothing special. The hostess showed us to our seats. She was just friendly enough to deserve three stars. Waitress smiled, and brought us our food and drinks. Ambiance is weird. A little like a bar and grill feel, and spacious on the inside, but with large windows so you can see the grounds of the hotel as you eat. Honestly the views are much better when you leave the restaurant and walk around. Overall... Meh. read more

Beautiful view from patio. They let dogs on patio. It's a little pricey but at Sunday brunch we had biscuits and gravy $12 and fresh bowl of fruit 5$. The shrimp and grits $25 also looked good. Servers were friendly and most spoke Spanish and English. The crowd was mainly 60s. Not wait to be seated 11am Sunday. We come here mainly for views and to sit and relax. Several people were enjoying Champaign flights 4 glassses of mimosas for 2 people. read more

Came here a few times during our month-long stay on the Californian coast. Like other restaurants on the coast (such as Big Sur River Inn), the Ragged Point is over priced in terms of the quality of food, and service is hit or miss. We came for both lunch and dinner on different days of the week on separate occasions as we drove north and south along CA-1. Compared to Big Sur I would say Ragged Point serves better presenting dishes (attractive, enticing) and more tasty food for what you pay. For example, do try their cactus salad. It comes in a crunchy bowl that you can eat! The sea scallops (an appetizer) are very good (tender)! See all my photos; several very nice looking dishes that are also delicious. I would give the fish and chip a pass. Beautiful setting (after the meal do walk toward the cliff for a view on the Pacific). Clean and spacious toilets. Sometimes, long long wait to place an order and/or to receive our dishes. Sometimes, service was prompt and it wasn't too long a wait for food. Nothing to do with how busy or not busy the restaurant was. They do seem to be very under staffed, though. Long wait at the front to even be seated. And some customers cut in the line, but the waiter or host didn't care. The star rating is an average of all our (mixed) experiences: 2-3 stars one time (lousy service) but 5 stars another time ... read more

Beautiful location. Hubs and I came for lunch. Food for both of us was just ok, wouldn't order again.

Outrageously priced mediocre at best food with non caring service. 1st We had ordered a glass of wine and it was old and sour tasting. We sent that back after being told they just opened the bottle. Instead of taking a chance we changed to a different wine entirely. The bread they served actually smelled like mustard.... Mustard? Good thing I like mustard....but why? We ordered the mussels and some tarts. The tarts were ok and at first the mussels seemed fine...until we opened a mussel and suddenly the smell of manure overcame the table. For a moment there we were trying to figure out where the stentch was coming from till we realized it was the mussel. Seriously this thing smelled HORRIBLE!!!! And still we pushed on to the main course. Each of us (4) ordered something different so we could taste everything. The "catch of the day" snapper was ok, the chicken was alright, the short rib was fine, but not the quality you'd expect for the price you're paying. The rice dished had a microwaved look and feel. To me the best thing was the potatoes. Overall cleanliness was not desirable. The bathroom toilet was overflowing with trash all over the place. You would think for the money they charge for their subpart food they would have more than a hook lock on their bathroom door. If you are driving the coast, keep driving. Get down to San Simeon or Morro Bay to spend your money. DO NOT EAT HERE!!! SAVE YOUR MONEY, TRULY!!! Keep in mind that even though things were going bad we kept giving them a chance, and they kept proving they don't deserve it. read more

Dinner in December was lovely with the last of the sunset visible from just about every table and the cozy fire pit flickering in the background. I had crab cakes, a chicken ceasar and a half bottle of Hearst Ranch cab. Crab cakes were perfectly seared, with a yummy spicy sauce, served as 3 instead of the usual 2. Ceasar was perfectly dressed, with lots of shaved parm. Our waiter Fernando was warm, efficient and professional. This place had it all, good service, good food, cozy vibes at a reasonable price. read more

Got a coffee, a ham Swiss croissant, and a slice of pie. All delicious, but found a small piece of ceramic something in custard of the lime pie piece. Nice place, nice food, but that's negligent. read more

I ordered the burger for lunch, and was perfectly content with my meal overall. The burger had a decent sized thick beefy patty, and came with an assortment of condiments, and everything tasted fresh. The curly fries that came with my burger were also super delicious. I think part of the reason the reviews are a little lower is because the food is on the expensive size (although what can you really expect since it's in the middle of nowhere perched on a cliff by itself!). I would recommend coming here for lunch rather than dinner because the prices go up pretty dramatically between lunch and dinner. Overall, don't discount this place because of the reviews. It's definitely worth stopping by for lunch, especially because of the amazing views of Big Sur! Pro tip if you come for lunch on the weekends during the summer and early fall months, they have live music on the lawn right outside the restaurant patio from 12-4 pm! read more

This is by far my most obscure review but if you've never been to Queenstown in New Zealand, can just skip and know that the ragged burger with home made bun is great and the meat / veggies used is fresh and worth ...albeit needs a bit of salt on the patty 10/10 best food on the road trip from LA to SF Now to those whose have been to fergburger in Queenstown , New Zealand This is the closest burger I've found that tastes like the ones from there Of course it's not 1:1 but goddamn does it remind you of it ( home made buns, burger meat appears to be from a local source and veggies where fresh) read more

The food we ordered was good...well, what we ate. But let's take a look at why I stated it that way. We waited half an hour to get a bottle of wine after being seated. Then once we got served the bottle, without a bottle chiller, they took our order for food. Being vegetarians, which for California this shouldn't be a new thing, I ordered a veggie burger and my wife ordered a chicken sandwich. It took about another half hour to only get a hamburger. I pointed this out and our server profusely apologized and blamed the kitchen. So I watched my wife eat her whole meal...waiting. I had to finally ask for it to go. I finally got my veggie burger and a to go box... and a wine bottle chiller for an empty bottle . I still got a bill for the full cost. Great service. read more

Stopped by for brunch. Nice location along the coast with outdoor seating and plenty of outdoor heating options if it's cold. We sat next to the (gas) fire pit table which kept us plenty warm.
