    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.

    All I can say is terrible service (told we would eat after a big party was served), cold congealed food, salty ham. Need I say more?

    Finally made it to The Growers Pub and it did NOT…read moredisappoint! The location is easy to get to, parking is good, the inside is spotless and clean in my eyes . Bathrooms are cute. My boss and coworkers have been raving about this place for the longest time, and I finally decided to come check it out for myself during lunch. Safe to say, I completely understand the hype now and I don't regret it one bit! I ordered the fries with steak bites and they were absolutely delicious. Now here's the thing , I am not a dessert person. I almost never order dessert anywhere I go, but something told me to give the brownie a try, and wow, I am so glad I did. Finger licking good doesn't even begin to cover it. That alone is worth the trip! But what really made the experience stand out was my server, Jasmine A . She was a solid 10 out of 10 incredibly friendly, attentive, and just an overall joy to be served by. I am someone who takes customer service very seriously, and Jasmine is exactly the kind of energy every restaurant needs more of. She genuinely made the whole experience even better. If you're reading this and on the fence about coming don't hesitate. The food is amazing, the service is top tier, and it is absolutely worth every single penny. This won't be my last visit, that's for sure!

    Had the wedge salad and Lobster Ravioli. Bread and butter was complimentary. Good pick for dinner…read moremeetings as it's intimate but also lively enough for some fun over conversation. Server was attentive. Full bar serving wine, beer, and cocktails. Located in old town Salinas -- I was told this spot is one of Salinas' oldest establishments occupying the same building from when it was founded in 1940. Hope they make it to 100 years! Also, my friend said this spot is known for their prime rib. I'll have to make it in one day to try for myself.
