They accommodated my group of 11 perfectly outside. Server was kind and happy to help. The chilaquiles were perfectly cooked in the sauce, not topped. Avocado was fresh and cheese was delicious. Bacon was perfectly crispy! read more

Rocky's Cafe - Luchi's Chilaquiles; eggs over easy, side bacon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Seaside, California

Rock's Cafe in Seaside is hands down the best restaurant food I have tasted in a long time! The flavors are phenomenal! The portions are huge so come hungry. Im a big eater and trying to cut down on portions but I couldn't stop until I finished all of its deliciousness. I had a good feeling about it when I drove up to this little Mom and Pops place and I am so glad I did!! The service is just as great Five stars to Rocky's Cafe read more

Just moved here and we're going to become regulars. I had the tempura fried chicken sandwich and that thing did not stand a chance. My husband devoured his huevos rancheros and that's saying something for a man who doesn't particularly like Mexican food. We also ordered pancakes to go and had a side of bacon and fruit. The bacon could not have been crispier and the fruit fresher and we will certainly enjoy the pancakes for dinner tonight. The people were nice and the food was NOICE. read more

Sunday brunch came and waited for about 15 minutes for a party of 4 ppl. This place is small and cozy, it also has an outdoor seatings. I got lucky to be seated inside bc it was pretty cold outside. Got seated and had the waitress taking our drink order. drinks came out and we placed our order. It took a short time and our food came out. Ordered: Sweet French toast - 2 whole toast cut into half with fruits and powdered sugar- so good Rock's Omelette- was good Chicken and Waffle- 1 big piece and 3 medium pieces of fried chicken - batter was light and chicken meat was tender top on waffle which is good. Rocky's Skillet- 2 sunny side eggs, sausage, hash browns (buttery)- was good Service was good and quick. I would come back here again. read more

This was the perfect spot for a late breakfast! The staff and chef were wonderful and I couldn't recommend it more :) 10/10 read more

We have officially become regulars at this fine establishment, and Rocky's Cafe never ceases to amaze us. For this visit, we brought along a good friend who had never experienced their breakfast before. Right off the bat, his first contact with the young lady taking our order left a massive impression. He actually remarked that she must be the owner because she genuinely seemed to care so much about the customers and the service.As for the food, my friend and my wife both ordered the Huevos Rancheros, while I went with the breakfast burrito. Every single dish was absolutely outstanding. All three of us left incredibly satisfied and happy with the food quality, the prompt timing, and the top-tier service.After numerous visits, this team has yet to make a single misstep. I recently saw another reviewer write "never judge a book by its cover," and that sentiment is 100% true for Rocky's. It is an absolute gem in Seaside. We highly recommend giving them a try! read more

Small, clean and just wonderful. Warmly greeted when we entered (as were all other guests)! Open kitchen. Outdoor seating looks nice but too windy for us. I had the French Toast and my son had the rib eye and eggs. Lots of food. Delicious. So many choices on the menu! Definitely will be back! read more

Food is really good here! Large portions, delicious and beautifully presented. Would definitely eat here again.

Rocky's is a wonderful family-owned café where they truly go out of their way for their customers. My husband and I came in craving fish and chips, and even though it wasn't on the menu, the owner came out and offered to make it just for us -- what a sweetheart! The food was excellent, and the warmth of the service made it even better. The fish was fresh, the fries were awesome, and the coleslaw was out of this world. We definitely plan on going back. read more

Casual diner with excellent service and food. We shared the Chilaquiles. It came on a large beautiful plate with a side of beans. The homemade green sauce was fabulous. The only improvement would be the coffee. read more

We ordered Rocky's Skillet. The menu said it has bacon, ham, sausage, and potatoes. But it was mostly potatoes and only itty bitty pieces of meat. It's practically a potato skillet. Only tiny little pieces here in there of bacon, and barely ham. So disappointing when you are expecting meat in your plate like the menu described it. For the price $21?! That was a rip off. read more

High-quality Californian coastal brunch meets mind-blowing creativity, all thoughtfully nurtured by family-like hospitality. I had the Sweet Pancake with a wholewheat substitution--Jamila's style--topped with homemade fig syrup. I was initially worried it might be overly sweet, but it turned out perfectly balanced. The pancakes were fluffy and mild, allowing the fruits and buttery toppings to shine and beautifully complement each other. I was shocked at how quickly I devoured the whole dish! Mom also loved her breakfast burrito--she even said it was better than our go-to spot in San Diego. The service was top-notch, with some of the nicest, most attentive, and knowledgeable staff we've encountered. read more

Do not judge a book by its cover.... Would have expected basic diner fare from this spot, but the food was elevated and amazing. I had the chilaquiles which were great. My son had the breakfast burrito which was huge. Definitely glad to have found this spot on our vacation and will definitely return when we are in the area in the future. Located near a lot of car dealerships. We found street parking as the lot behind the restaurant looked a bit small. read more

Rocky's Cafe was recommended to me by a friend with incredibly good taste, so i'm not surprised that the food here was delicious. We arrived 11am on a Sunday to a very busy restaurant but got sat immediately, we were quickly greeted by our server and served beverages. It gives off family restaurant vibes in the best way. The menu is short, but I can see now that although a large selection is not offered, all their food is high quality breakfast. I ordered the green chilaquiles which came with a side of beans and the most perfect over medium eggs and my partner ordered a breakfast burrito and added chorizo. TL;DR--Rocky's should be the next place you visit if you like food that looks as good as it taste AND like quick service. read more

New Little Cafe on Del Monte Ave, I've Seen The Review as 4.5 Stars So I decided to try it for the first time. Nice Old place needs a total Upgrade. Revamp. I ordered the Chicken Fried steak, a Special. The Portion of Steak Was Good. Portion of Hash Browns and Egg was tiny. It was ok. I should've asked for crispy hash browns. They looked Oily and Unappetizing tho I ate Them The Eggs I Asked Srambled Well Came scrammbled easy?But the Portion Was small. For $26.00, I won't order again. I Know They Just Opened. 10/28/25 I just Noticed My Photo Food Looks better than Actual Dish read more

Rocky's Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Seaside, California

I have Driven by this place serval times and always wanted to check it out. I realized it was where the old Del Monte Café & grille use to be located and had me kind of curious what this new place was all about? Went in Sunday morning, not packed Wife and I were seated promptly which was very much appreciated. Service on the other hand was fairly slow. Other customers seated 10 minutes after us were waited and served on first before we were. I don't know was that all about but I had also requested a straw for my juice and it was never brought out? Also my coffee was never refilled and my waitress only made minor appearances through out our visit. We did sit outside on the patio area, so I do not know if that was the issue but no because the couple that was served first also sat outside next to us, so go figure? When our food was brought out presentation was fabulous. They do have a few specials that looked very appetizing but I went for the green chilaquiles which was presented very good but lacked the spicy or any flavoring. I must say the pancake I did order as my side was great tasting and fluffy. Would I come here again? Rocky's Café didn't give me a good first experience and the food was nothing special. Monterey county has a lot of places like Rocky's Café which left me with much to be desired. read more

Came here for lunch. The indoor seating is a small area along with some outdoor seating. The restaurant is clean inside. The staff are friendly. We ordered the crispy fried chicken sandwich and Oliver's fish tacos. The chicken is fried in a tempura batter and comes out crispy but not a heavy greasy coating. I liked the sandwich but I thought it would have more taste to it. Maybe more Rocky's sauce would have helped. On the other hand it wasn't messy to eat and if you want some hot sauce they have 5 to choose from. It is a good sandwich. I liked the crispiness of the seasoned fries. The fish tacos had nicely crispy fish with the right amount of sauce. There is a bit of a spicy note to them. The beans are also very good. Definitely would eat here again. read more

Visited Monterey from socal and stayed at the beachfront hotel nearby. We wanted casual local brunch and decided to come here. Cute spot. You can tell the locals come here which I loved since Monterey could be very touristy. Service: It was busy but we didn't have to wait for a table which was awesome. The servers and kitchen staff were hustling which I appreciated. Burrito w chorizo: 10/10 This burrito came out piping hot lol. I had to wait 5 minutes before picking it up and taking a bite. The flavors in this burrito was great. Very well seasoned. Very filling. It comes with pico de gallo inside already but I asked for extra bc that's just my preference. Carnitas skillet special: 9/10 Great flavors, great textures, veggies were fresh. Carnitas was tasty. Melted cheese was a nice touch. Comes with a choice of toast. We chose the English muffin which was roasted and buttered perfectly. Next time if I come I would try the chicken and waffles which seemed like a very popular dish. Half the orders coming out the kitchen were this. The chicken was HUGE. read more

I had the Eggs Your Way breakfast, and everything was cooked perfectly. The seasoned country-style potatoes were especially delicious!!

Rocky's Cafe - Yummy coffee - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Seaside, California

We were in Seaside for the weekend and had been sorely disappointed at another restaurant so we were on the hunt for some good food. When we arrived it was almost closing time so a little empty. We walked in and were greeted and sat right away. The place is really small but has about 10 four tops. We placed the kids order first but it took a bit longer than expected on a slow afternoon. I'm assuming it was bc they were probably getting ready to close. Once our food came it was smooth sailing from there. My chilaquiles were pretty good but a bit salty so I asked for sour cream. Sour cream made it 1000 times better (I would recommend adding that to the meal). The French toast and pancakes were delicious and my husband and son were extremely satisfied. The kids grilled cheese was "the best" my 5yo had ever had. He finished it all! All and all I think we would come back for breakfast/lunch when in the area again. read more
