Huevos ranchers were not made to order, ordered steak rare and it was over cooked, nice atmosphere however. They kept the coffee hot and waiters were really polite. 3/5 of the orders were messed up, would recommend this place for breakfast during the weekdays as the weekends seem to be a little busier read more

I used to come here at least twice a month for a period of time, haven't been back in almost 3 years. Well, only reason I ate here is because my uncle invited everyone for breakfast to celebrate my aunts birthday. Red Apple has so much potential to be what it used to be, perhaps someone else took over,the food sure tastes different than I remember and that is NOT a good thing, to see how empty it was considering a time when I would have to wait almost an hour for a table. It's a small hole in the wall diner located next to an auto row, it's got small table seating and outside with big windows with natural light. I ended up ordering the Salmon scramble with house potatoes, it was alright I've definitely had better elsewhere. Service was fantastic though, our waitress constantly asked if we needed anything and kept refilling my orange juice so thank you for that. read more

Red Apple Cafe - Salmon Scramble - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Watsonville, California

Horrible meal this morning. We usually try to give red apple the benefit of the doubt, but the food was terrible. My husband ordered steak and eggs, steak was way over cooked, potatoes were dry. I ordered their famous potato dish (ultimate meat) and they overdid it on the sausage. Not much ham, bacon or cheese; the egg whites were also unseasoned. Upon picking up, the person who helped must've bee in training and she forgot some extras that I asked for (utensils, sauce, etc.). It was also very empty in there. I should've taken that as a sign but again, we wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. Seems like they truly do not care anymore and are just there cus it's a job. 0/10. read more

Decided to have brunch at this spot. We were seated right away, and our food came out fairly fast. I got their turkey sandwich which was okay. The bread was too dry for my liking. I absolutely love their country potatoes! There is a good amount of parking in the back, and everyone was super nice and helpful. read more

Excellent breakfast and friendly, efficient staff. Not too greasy, overcooked, or cold. Plentiful portions, and the cooks try hard to please individual preferences. I enjoy seeing gatherings of families and the steady regulars, and often my own neighbors and friends! read more

Good, local breakfast place. Nice & quiet. Plenty of parking, in front and in back lot. Lots of servers, mostly young people which is great. Food is good, above average but not fantastic. Coffee excellent. Less expensive than most coffeeshops. Bathrooms could use a deep clean, and a brighter light! We'll be back! read more

We were looking for a place to stop and have breakfast, and honestly this place was not on the list, but the two we were interested in had huge lines and one was very close to this place, so we tried it. Bingo! Really good food and plenty of it. Waitress was also great. French roast coffee a real bonus for this kind of place. We really liked it! read more

Very cute diner if you are ever down in Watsonville. Owner was a sweet lady, and coffee was very fresh. Portion sizes were huge tho, got the potato dish and could not even finish half of it. read more

Delicious and simple. Their omelettes are so good and every meal tastes homemade. If you're looking for an authentic breakfast place, this is it. Food comes quickly, the waitstaff is kind, portions are good, and it looks like grandma's house. read more

One of the places we stop for breakfast. Always have good and friendly service. We have never been there when it was very busy. It is a casual place and easy to have a conversation while there as not a loud place. Ordered the potato dish with ham, mushrooms and green onions topped with cheese and scrambled eggs. The potatoes are good sized pieces and the mushrooms are also good sized and plentiful the ham and green onions are smaller and get a little lost because of the other two ingredients. It does taste good and definitely plenty of the food. We have had the bacon in the past and it is good with a smoked flavor to it. Will be back again. read more

The wait at the Beach Street Cafe & Cowboy Corner restaurants were long so we came here.. don't make that mistake! Drinks were horrible, my ultimate meat potatoe dish was alright but the "homemade corn beef hash" was horrible. Sweet people but terrible food & drinks. read more

This is one of my favorite places in town for breakfast I've been coming here for many years, I understand with coke and many businesses had to close they lost money so the prices are going up although the food quality is going down a long with service before we would be greeted very friendly and then when sat down we had the server aproach us with hello how are you it's always nice to feel welcomed at any restaurant, the last couple Of visits we've came here and when walking in we get a stare down feeling like why are you here, then after being sat we had to wait awhile before anyone came to our table when the servers finally approached very abruptly saying are you ready .... Then no check up of we need anything we just got up to pay the tab, I loved this place but with these experiences frequently I am going to have to make another place my favorite:( read more

I can't recommend this place enough. Woke up craving pancakes and once I found out that indooor dining is back in full effect I made my way to the restaurant. This has been my favorite place for breakfast since I was a kid. The food here never disappoints their pancakes here are unmatched....if you know a place that serves better pancakes let me know so I can shut that foolishness down real quick...BAR NONE their pancakes are perfect. Very happy that indoor dining is back! Thank you Red Apple Cafe. read more

My mom and I came for lunch, we were not aware they don't offer free refills, that was one the second thing was I ordered a crispy salad the chicken was hard I dont like onions or olives. These items were NOT listed on the menu. My mom ordered steak sandwich. 3rd when we got the bill it was 54.22 dollars are you kidding me. That is when we realized there was no refills because we were charged for 2 cranberry juices. We didn't argue paid but will not be coming back. The food was not that good. read more

This was an amazing place to go to back then but lately I've been disappointed. Country potatoes were my favorite w/ amazing taste. Last few times I've gone, they've tasted the same (bland, no flavor, undercooked). Service used to be so great w/ the waitresses checking up on you so often (even on crazy busy days). Now we have to get up to try to get their attention (even on super slow days). This place used to be so packed w/ sometimes over an hour wait to be seated & now this place is always dead (on days I've gone). I've never been to cowboys corner but I think I should try it now. read more

This was our first time here on November 25th 2022. Our server was very nice. The staff was very attentive. Our meals were very good. I recommend the Teriyaki Skirt Steak. I think we will be back next time we are passing through. read more

Cute cozy joint . Coffee tasted fresh and delicious . Fast friendly service . 4/5 Food . Sad to say 2/5 for the hubby's steak Sandwich . The meat was raw ( he isn't picky with his steak) but the bread had mold . He kind of lost his appetite but over all experience was nice . read more

The food here is great! It does get quite busy so id suggest early morning or closer to close time for quick seating. Service is great and even though there is new faces they all strive to be the best. Environment is definitely good kinda loud but hey it's probably people just talking about how awesome the food here is!!!! My favorite breakfast stop in Watsonville!!!! read more

Stop at the breaks and brunch place while taking a short trip on the weekend and the eggs benedict was busssssinnn!

The food is good but i dont get how anyone not blind would dare serve toast this burnt to a paying customer. Clearly customer satisfaction and food quality was not a priority today. All four pieces were burnt. read more

Red Apple Cafe - Burnt toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Watsonville, California

I give this restaurant one star only for the following reasons. 1. Pancakes were minnie size, wich made them hard to cut and somewhat chewy . 2. The eggs lacked flavor. 3. Coffee cups were very small, we had to continually ask for refills. 4. Service not the greatest. We had to call on our server every time we needed something. Due to the fact that they didn't have any condiments on the tables. And they weren't very friendly either. 5. Service is fast, but I believe is because their does taste like something you would get at a fast food place. read more

I had the corned beef hash. I don't believe it was fresh - way too salty like it had been fried & seasoned twice. My husband Ultimate Meat Omelette & enjoyed it. Plenty of meat, cheese etc. read more

This cozy little nook is filled to the brim with a homestyle ambience and a country fried aroma to boot. With so many mouth watering options, it's hard to make a solid choice on what 'sounds good' to eat. However, rest assured, there is not ONE thing on this menu that I wouldn't recommend. The food is always hot (unless you get a cold dish!), beautifully presented and full of flavor. All dishes prepared to order, just the way you like. On another note, services here are definitely worth mentioning. From the moment I stepped in, I felt immediately welcomed into a family-like atmosphere where I was the guest. Once seated, a waitress took my drink order, another came by to take my order, and yet another stopped by just to ask if I was doing alright. It was like being at home on Thanksgiving, where everyone is concerned about how each other is doing and wants to make sure everything tastes good, and the love is palpable. Though the hours here aren't the best (because I wish they were ALWAYS open) it is definitely worth a looksy if you are in the area. Parking lot gets full in the morning, but it's totally worth the walk from anywhere nearby. read more
