"We arrived shortly after opening and seated right away, waited on promptly. Some of the other patrons spoke quite loudly so it was difficult to hear each other at our small table. No fault of the restaurant, just for other customers... know how loud you speak. Large portions of food and tasty. I ordered an omelet and was full of veggies. The potatoes did not taste good, way too oily. He ordered 2 eggs and meat. He too did not like the potatoes. Which was fine, luckily portions were so good we were still quite full without eating the potatoes. Staff was friendly and attentive. Would definitely go back."

"Found this gem of a restaurant on google. Located in old town Salinas, it’s friendly & inviting atmosphere. I ordered the eggs with ham steak & breakfast potatoes. DELISH! The orange juice was fresh & the coffee was freshly brewed. Isabel & the rest of staff was friendly & attentive. I would recommend anyone to have breakfast here"

"This is WAY better than the First Awakenings in Monterey! If you're looking for a nice breakfast spot, with well-kept rustic furniture bringing you back to the time when the city first came to prominence in the 1800s, this is a nice spot! Staff was professional, food came out quick, and it tasted great!"

"Beautiful huge facilities, with options to see either in or outside. The food menu is incredible with lots of options to choose from including vegetarian. Service was fast and you’ve been served with a picture of water and coffee so you don’t need to worry about anything. The food portion was incredibly big so you won’t leave hungry."

"This is the best traditional American breakfast you will find in town! I don’t need to say much because the food truly speaks for itself. The skillets (the classic onion and bacon one) are my favorite and so is the wheat pancake. The pancakes and waffles are huge! Perfect to share."
