It cost $13.00 and came with a sandwich, fries, and a drink. The sandwich wasn't huge, but it was hot, tasted good, and had plenty of fresh produce on it. The fries were crinkle cut, crispy, and had just the right amount of seasoning. They gave me a couple containers of ranch, at no cost, to go with them. My drink was medium size, and they made it with light ice as I requested. It wasn't the fastest drive through experience, but the guy at the window was cool, spoke clearly, and got my order right. Which is more than I can say about many fast food joints. With decent food, prices, and service, I think this place deserves 5 stars.

I almost drove right past this place because it's a true hole-in-the-wall, but once I saw the parking lot full of people I knew that was a good sign. Walked in and the place was lively, full of locals, old-school vibe, and the bartender was awesome. I was starving and ordered the steak, chicken and shrimp plate. Bro... that skirt steak was ridiculous. Everything tasted fresh, even the fries and coleslaw were way better than I expected. Big portions too, and they even throw in a little piece of chocolate cake which cracked me up, but somehow fit the whole vibe perfectly. The food was so good I came back the NEXT DAY for lunch and got the New York strip. I was still chasing that skirt steak from the night before but the NY strip was fire too. You can tell this place takes care of its regulars and actually cares about the quality of the food. No fancy BS, just good people, great food, big portions, and a legit local atmosphere. Anytime I'm back in Watsonville, Wooden Nickel is an automatic stop.

There's a variety of items to choose from on their menu but we went with their sandwiches. I ordered the Rustic BLT, panini style. I saw the panini style was an option and I went for it. I definitely was surprised how much I like it better than a regular BLT. My friend ordered a rustic cheeseburger and that thing was massive. Both sandwiches came with a side of fries. The fries were seasoned well and crispy. For the price you pay, you definitely get your money's worth. As the sign in the photo shows, they are a small business and run by chefs who cook as you order. Yes, you may have to wait for your order but I can definitely say it's worth the wait.

The menu offered many choices but we enjoyed a Club Sandwich and Beet with Greens Salad (option included shrimp or chicken). As you can see, portions a VERY generous.

It isn't trying to be overly trendy or fancy, and the emphasis on local ingredients and the Pajaro Valley gives it some character. My partner had the Mediterranean pasta with grilled chicken, and our son had the steak dinner with fries and vegetables. I ordered the evening special, which was cheese tortellini with prawns in a creamy sauce. Everything was very good, and the portions were generous. They also brought bread to the table before dinner and kept us supplied during the meal. We had a bottle of Alfaro Pinot Noir with dinner. It was a good local wine and paired nicely with the meal. We also appreciated seeing local wines represented on the menu. We finished by sharing the crème brûlée. It was quite tasty and considerably larger than we expected... definitely enough to share. The service was a real highlight. Our waiter was friendly, attentive and prompt throughout the meal. Since we were visiting the area, he also took some time to share a few local tips, including where to find some particularly good sausages and meats. It was a nice personal touch and added to the experience. Overall, California Grill was a very good find in Watsonville: good food, generous portions, excellent service and a nice connection to the local agricultural community. A solid four-star experience, and somewhere we'd be happy to visit again.

$2 CHICKEN TENDERS FOR THE WIN!!!!…read more Came here straight from the Gym. I made sure to track my food intake so I would have room left over for some tenders as I eat them in moderation ( twice a month works for me) First of all Angry Chickz can kick rocks, they got NOTHING on Hot birds. There are multiple definitions of hot, let's be clear: 1. Hot, as in temperature 2. Hot, as in spice level 3. Hot, as in this place is a HOT SPOT because of its popularity. The parking lot is always crowded, so a heads up in advance if you read this review. I live across the street from one of their locations so I can just walk instead of worrying about finding a parking spot. I ordered the 6 piece chicken tender combo. The food is always hot when it's ready. The complimentary bird sauce is good, though mild it has a kick to it. Chicken is always cooked thick and well, and the crunch to the chicken tenders is sweet and juicy with tons of flavor. This is my favorite place for chicken tenders or a chicken sandwich - thank you for the hospitality hot birds 831 and I look forward to my next visit.

After circling the quaint butcher/deli we made our decision and purchased the jalapeño cheddar sausage, garlic artichoke sausage, thick cut smoked bacon, beef short ribs and Asian sensation beef jerky. We haven't tried everything yet but the sausages were very good! We warmed them in a pan with a tad bit of water and enjoyed their snap when eaten. The jalapeño cheddar was mildly spiced and the cheese was oh so gooey goodness. The garlic artichoke was absolutely delightful. It had the punch of garlic yet artichoke flavor. Both are definitely keepers full of robust ingredients with great snap and juiciness. The beef jerky was the bomb with great zip and perfect texture. Next on the list to cook is the bacon for BLT's and short ribs on the Q for a Korean dinner. We don't live in the area of Freedom Meats and didn't think of bringing a cooler but we were provided ice at no charge.
