    We were staying in Salinas and we wanted breakfast and my brother found this place on Yelp so we decided to give it a try. We were seated quickly and the service was excellent. There were several people going around filling up waters and coffee and asking if everything was okay apart from our server but she checked on us a few times as well. Our food came out at a reasonable time and the portions were large. We were enticed by the free kids meal with purchase of an adult entrée and drink Monday through Thursday. The pricing for the plates was decent.

    If you're looking for a good breakfast place in Salinas, the Waffle Shop is a safe bet. It's nothing fancy, but the food is usually solid. We ordered a veggie omelette and a pumpkin waffle (Because who doesn't love a pumpkin baked Treat?) The omelette was a solid size, and packed with veggies. It was easily split by two of us and included biscuits or toast and another side, which we selected as hash browns. The pumpkin waffle was a bit pricey for what it was but it was an up charge item since it was seasonal. It was good, but the pumpkin flavor didn't come Through as much as I'd hoped. Taking away 1 star mainly due to service. My husband was served black coffee without any cream and by the time they came back to our table it was Cold. I wanted a water, and they served it in a kid sized cup and they didn't check on us much so it was empty most of our visit.

    A pretty busy family owned business open for breakfast and lunch 9-3. Breakfast for 6 was served quickly with a little wait on getting seated. Social distancing and masks in force as well as sanitizing sin between customers. We enjoyed our pancake/ waffle combo meals. I thought the blueberry pie filling was over the top in sweetness and thought it would be cooked in the batter versus a placed on top. A note to self next time we visit. Coffee good and hot and fun to be around a 3 year old. Perfect for families.

    Cheeseburge, Philly chicken and French frys. Yum!

    The cheeseburger and Philly chicken was good. The service was also excellent. The diner was clean and there were plenty of seats.

    The assortment of children's art that you will find after entering the front door.

From the moment we walked in, the staff were warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind, which made the whole experience even better. I ordered the Double Chicken Pesto, and it was easily the highlight of my visit. The sandwich was served warm, which made a big difference. The pesto added a rich, savory flavor and all of the ingredients worked well together. The bread though! Crisp and nicely crunchy on the outside, yet soft and fresh on the inside. It had that perfect texture you hope for in a sourdough sandwich and elevated the experience. My son ordered the Chicken Caesar Salad along with a cup of clam chowder. The salad had a generous portion of chicken, lots of croutons for extra crunch, and a Caesar dressing that was creamy and flavorful. They also included two sides of dressing, which was great for anyone who likes a well-coated salad. My son ended up asking for a third. The clam chowder was decent overall. It wasn't the best we've had compared to some of the chowder spots in Monterey, where the standard is pretty high, but it was still warm, satisfying, and worth trying as part of the meal. Overall, Sourdough Company delivered fresh food, solid portions, quality bread, and excellent customer service. If you are looking for a satisfying sandwich or casual lunch spot with friendly staff, this is definitely a place worth visiting. We'd happily return to for lunch.

The addition of extra steak on the side made it even more satisfying the meat was tender, plentiful, and really boosted the overall heartiness of the bowl. Super comforting and filling without weighing me down. The shrimp spring rolls were another highlight rolled tightly with fresh herbs, crisp veggies, and just the right amount of shrimp. They tasted refreshing and balanced, perfect with the dipping sauce. You could tell everything was made fresh. Service was fast, friendly, and efficient. Our food came out quickly even as the restaurant started to get busy. Ambiance was bright and welcoming, with nice modern lighting features at the entrance that gave the place a lively, yet relaxed feel. It's clearly a popular spot, since it filled up quickly after we arrived.
