Where to eat: the 23 best restaurants in the Carmel Valley

Rustic is an apt description of this charming spot in the Carmel Valley Village. Of course, it blends in nicely with other buildings in town. The patio is as good as it gets. Pizza, pasta and a local wine. What could be better?

We visited on a chilly, rainy day and were disappointed we had to sit outside because inside was full, however it was very well sheltered from the elements and the heat lamps were working. The staff was extremely friendly, attentive, and service was prompt. My wife had Hungarian goulash and gave it a thumbs up. I had the Chile Verde special and it was excellent, just the right amount of spicy. Prices reasonable for the area.

My family was very pleased with what they ordered.

1st time here. 3 of us had the halibut. It was really good! Had the flourless chocolate torte for dessert. Hope to come back when we are in this area.

Cafe Rustica in Carmel Valley is a delightful experience! 🌟 The service is exceptional, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The food not only tantalizes the taste buds but is also presented beautifully, adding an artistic touch to the dining experience. Highly recommend for a memorable culinary journey! 👌

We went for dinner, place was really busy, but we'd booked, so wasn't a problem. Food we had was very tasty and well cooked, great choice of local wines too. Would suggest booking ahead so that you're not waiting in line, or disappointed.

The food is always amazing here! The meats and fish are never overcooked & just melt in your mouth. They have a huge wine list and excellent deserts. (The bread pudding with raspberry & apricot sauces is my favorite.) Sitting outside on the patio is my favorite. It's perfect for a romantic evening with your partner or a night out with friends, drinking wine & sharing deserts after dinner.

I could eat here everyday. Fresh, flavorful, great portions, great service. Loved it!

We all really enjoyed our meals and experience. The Sea Bass special was my favorite out of everything we ordered. Also loved the calamari appetizer and Cesar salad.

Sublime restaurant experience! The food was exquisite, the service was exceptional, and the atmosphere was welcoming and relaxing. My husband and I are so happy we found this culinary gem! We will be back.

We had a really solid meal. Good atmosphere and service. Wish they had a full bar. Bear and wine only. Maybe stick with the pizza.

Saturday, February 24th was our first visit to Cafe Rustica. Why have we never been before? It is a gem. The weather was spectacular, which only added to our perfect experience and day. We were a party of 6, celebrating two birthdays. The special of the day was Sand Dabs. 5 of the 6 of us ordered the Sand Dabs. Perfectly prepared (with a side of German Potato salad). They were delicious. Butterscotch pudding and a root beer float was dessert. Believe me, there was hardly any room for more! Our server was Derek, who was very accommodating, friendly while being very professional. High marks all around. And your dogs will be very welcome, along with treats supplied by Derek! Don't wait.

We ordered three dishes of the pork tenderloin, all three pork dishes were overcooked, the pork was hard and dry, the sauce was good. The Jose Verde pizza was good. The desserts bread puddings were good.

We love this restaurant but today they seemed a little “off.” Called one week in advance for lunch (asking for outside dining) and when we arrived there was plenty of outside seats available yet the hostess seated us at a table in the breezeway. We dined for 90 minutes and not once were the two or three 4-tops were occupied, which the hostess told us were reserved. Also, when I made reservations I told the person we were celebrating 33 years of marriage. No one made mention of it during our visit….NO, we didn’t expect a free dessert….how about “congratulations on your special day and thank you for dining with us.” Yes, we will return hoping for a better experience next time.

Incredibly kind and gentle place. We had a kids birthday party, because my kid is a foodie and loved the pizza menu. And it was as incredible as the menu looked. The staff was so gracious and kind, we felt right at home. The coffee is incredible too, it’s a routine stop for me. Very very tasty coffee with super kind staff. I look forward to any and every visit!

Food was good but way overpriced and you have to order at the counter, then they bring food to you in their outdoor seating area where they try to cram you next to the other diners. Was asked if I wanted avocado with our fish tacos and I said no but they put it on and charged 5 extra bucks for them. It's a very small place where you even have to get your own water, minimal service.

This place got plucked from the Tuscan countryside and dropped into Carmel Valley. Absolutely adorable inside and out. Enjoyed a lovely brunch with coworkers yesterday, the service was great and they accommodated our large group very graciously. Tried every single specialty pizza on the menu and they were all quite tasty, the one pictured is the Meyer Lemon. Don't miss this whimsical wisteria wonderland, it's truly lovely and one of a kind.

Amazing place and food. Plus go taste at Georis and bring a bottle for your meal and they don't charge any corkage fees

Such a gem in the heart of Carmel Valley! An eclectic atmosphere of international flags, old fashioned corkscrew display cabinets, and ivy that grows through the ceiling houses a wonderful spot for lunch. The beef barley soup was perfect on a rainy day. The pear salad was a heavenly mix of sweet pear and honey, savory gorgonzola and blue cheese, and spicy arugula greens. And of course, the Meyer lemon pizza (yes, that's right) was unlike any pizza I've had in my life! Prosciutto, Parmesan, and peppery greens covered hidden gems of paper thin sliced lemon, rinds and all. Such an amazing combination, and an absolute can't-miss spot.

Great place for lunch, either as a couple or grouop-of-6. Kids can easily find their favorite pasta or pizza. Warmly recommend the mushroom ouzza or the oiteli one (hope I got it right). Don't forget to try their corkscrew salad. The locally made white wine was good enough for us.

I really like the food here and the coffee. I had burrata and onion soup, soup was fine, as cheese was not as it supposed to be, but in general like the place

The Corkscrew is one of the places you have to go to when you visit Carmel. The pizzas are pretty unique, especially the Meyer Lemon one which is my personal favorite. Plus, their salads are incredible. I have tried almost everything on the menu, and their pear arugula salad with the meyer lemon pizza are my favorites. The goat cheese platter is also extremely delicious, along with all of their pizzas, and their burrata and grapefruit/beet salad. Highly recommend, and the vibe is very nice and outdoorsy as well. Plus, it is a good place for dogs!

We went to an event nearby in Carmel Valley and our host recommended this place. We lucked out and got a parking spot and after a very brief wait got a table on their outdoor patio. Service was beyond friendly, but our server could have come by a couple more times to offer drink refills. The food was excellent. We had the mussels and fries which was a special, one of their wood fire oven pizzas, and the fish tacos which was our host's husband's favorite. Everything was delicious and well cooked. The tiramisu was a delicious end to our meal.

Delicious fresh prepared food with quality ingredients. The mushroom pizza was yummy beyond expectations. Excellent prompt service to boot. All of this in a quaint courtyard garden setting. Very romantic! It's sure to impress. A+ experience.

Lovely, simple Californian cuisine. Service is warm and welcoming—they seated us at 8 even though the cafe closed at 8:30, and we didn’t feel rushed in the least bit even though we closed the place. All the food was flavored well with simple seasoning that let the fresh ingredients shine. The combination of corn and shishito pepper was unexpected but provided a bright contrast for what was a hearty, satisfying pizza. The dessert sounded good in theory but was too strong in rose flavor. Would love to go back for a meal when back in the area.

Our experience here was mixed, but overall great. We went to Roux for a private event recently so I'm not certain that our experience is the standard. We arrived, we're greeted and seated by the chef and staff. All the food we tasted was delicious. Crab cakes, seared salmon, veggie paella, fingerling potatoes. Each one was unique and flavorful, however there didn't seem to be a theme. Either we tasted the entire menu, or a special one for our event, but there was a wide variety of textures and flavors. I had no prior knowledge of Roux, but being a New Orleans native, I had minor expectations of French cuisine to grace the table, but we were surprised with bold flavors and dishes outside the anticipated french norm conjured by the name "roux". I have one complaint: the staff were extremely focused on refilling our glasses of wine. Some would consider this a good thing, but for a classy restaurant, my expectations are that staff should see and know the needs of their customers. If I reject an offer for more wine once, twice, three times, it should be more than clear that I'm done...unless I initiate again. We had 2 tables of 10 people - everyone felt distracted by having to deny wine refills. Food was lovely and unique. Wine was exceptional. Staff needs a little more training on picking up on customer queues.

Ordered their chicken dish for takeout and it was really tasty. Went in person for the first time since COVID this weekend. Nice seating spots inside and outside. Service was friendly. We ordered the lamb shank to split, a special, and it was absolutely delicious. Looking forward to our next visit to Roux in Carmel valley.

Expected more out of this. The place is incredibly uncomfortably cold (and don’t tell me it was a winter storm, it was just a drizzle of rain) and uninviting. Never got a chance to even take my hat or jacket off. There’s a tiny fireplace the stuff reluctantly turned on when we arrived at 5:30 Pm, but just so cold. No heating whatsoever. The food that arrived turned icy cold in a few minutes. All staff is donned in puffy jackets. The food was OK, nothing to write home about despite the promise of French food scene, but the ambiance is lacking big time!

Possibly one of my favorite lunch stops in town. Really comfortable outdoor seating. Inside available too. Had a nice tapas style lunch by sharing a variety of small dishes. Had yucca fries, crab cakes and mini burgers. That was plenty for the two of us but we tend to eat small portions. Sangrias (both red and white) were really good and perfect for this hot day. Everything was delicious. Highly recommend it.

Nice upscale restaurant. Super attentive staff, chef came out to introduce himself. Ordered various plates to share, everything was good and several great dishes. Highlights were the tuna tartare, deviled eggs, sautéed shrimp, and creme brûlée. Cash or Venmo only.

Wonderful service and great food. Had the filet mignon and it was cooked perfectly and so tasty and tender. Would definitely go back again when the opportunity arises

Amazing food in a relaxed and beautiful environment. We came here again after 1.5 years and it was as good as we remembered. In my view, this is the top restaurant in Carmel Valley. We will definitely be back.

Consistent and delicious. This is our favorite weekend restaurant. The French toast is a must! The sangria is delicious also, white and red.

Just stoping by to have a bite before run into my day…. 1 simple dish … fish and chips … 2 out of the 3 pieces were raw and hard rock, call the server to please do it again, they did and again 2 out 3 inedible… by the way only my self and another 3 top on the entire bistro… how hard is to do something right ? I’ll no post the pictures, but I’ll keep it to justify this comment … I’m in the industry by the way hope next time will be better, we all deserve a second chance

Chic restaurant with interesting menu and good wine list. Enjoyed all parts of the meal, would recommend. Had two waiters describe the ingredients in the same dish in different ways, could lead to issues with food allergy.

Roux welcome my husband and our young boys pleasantly with a high chair but that is the extent of the “family friendly” nature. We ordered plain fries (clearly from frozen) and $29 pasta for them as there isn’t a kids menu. My Coke was flat. The food was simple and overpriced. The patio is really nice and inviting and the service was friendly though slow. The scallops were nicely done and the French onion soup was decadent. Definitely some hits and misses.

Amazing place for lunch out on the patio. The French toast and Duck Confit are otherworldly. Super friendly staff and very relaxed vibe. No wait the two times I've visited (Saturday mornings in November and March), may be different in the summer.

What a hidden gem I found in Carmel Valley! Pet-friendly terrace, wonderful service, inexpensive price with super big quantity, and yum! very delicious pizza! To clarify the confusion, you can order menus of Stirup Cup Pizza here at Running Iron. My husband and I wanted some pizza after the hike at Garland park. We needed an outdoor seating to be seated with our dog. You can order pizza and eat at Running Iron! We sat with our dog at the terrace at Running Iron and ordered pizza from Stirup Cup Pizza. I ordered stuffed deep dish pizza with the menu #4 and a basket of curly fries. The portions are crazy here! The basket of curly fries was HUGE and delicious! We could not finish the medium-sized pizza. Wow, the stuffed deep dish was very creative. You should definitely try. And Connie, our waitress, was so nice and friendly. I mean, honestly, all of the staffs that served our table were so nice and kind. They seemed to enjoy their job. I genuinely appreciate their service. Of course, I am going to visit here AGAIN!

Oh my goodness this place is a perfect cowboy bar. Great food, the burgers, nachos, and wings were all really decicious. I 100% fell in love with the decor and atmosphere. Cowboy boots hanging from the rafters, bear heads in each room, amazing feel. The bartender, waitress, hostess, cook were all super funny and nice. And the other patrons were friendly and fun. Will be back every time I visit CV

Great place! Tons of atmosphere! The patio is dog friendly with over half the tables with dogs. The bar is dog friendly as well. There is karaoke Sundays 9 pm to 1 am. The food is great. I had a delicious burger. The fries are to die for. Very crispy. My wife had a salad she enjoyed. Will return soon.

Stopped by for a burger after a couple of wine tastings. Both our burgers were good albeit a bit pricey. What really stood out was the service and attentiveness of the staff and they were all genuinely warm and friendly. They were also super great with our dog - would def come back next time we’re in the area

Good food, American fare with reasonable prices. Plenty of room on a Saturday night. Glass of wine was pricey, though. Have a beer!

Loved the music! Food! Atmosphere! Had veggie omelette. So delicious. Loved wall decor and nice fireplace!

As it has been for the 40 years I have lived on the peninsula. A really great place to meet friends for a drink. Super nice staff and a great vibe. I can't comment on the food as my bestie and I just have a martini together and head home.

We ordered the blue cheese burger and the chicken ceasar salad. The burger had lots of cheese and was cooked to order, very tasty. The salad was good. Service was slow. It was not very busy on a Thursday night. Had to ask for menus and our first beer order. Waitress finally took our order, and it took quite a while to get our food. Wish the service was better to match the food!

Amazing tasty food Outstanding staff went far and beyond.. Definitely visit again without doubt if we were in the area we even bought a mug We loved it.😊🫶

Possibly one of the BEST cheeseburgers and fries I have ever had. We took a motorcycle ride out there today and I was extremely pleased with the food, the service, the staff, did I mention the food? FANTASTIC! I hear this place gets really busy on the weekends. What a fantastic place right in our own back yard. We sat outside and the weather was perfect. Definitely going back!

My wife enjoyed her vegan burrito. But the chips and salsa and my rib eye steak were disappointing. Service was good and we loved the location.

I have never seem a place like this Its a Must visit for anyone looking for unique bars or restaurants

Amazing place… Great staff and awesome customers. The atmosphere and decoration is awesome and makes you feel like you’re a real cowboy that just rode in on a horse to sink your teeth into a great ribeye steak that’s tasty and made to perfection and then wash it back with so many great drinks to choose from. Whiskey mmmmm.

It's a pretty neat place, for sure. I haven't been to many cafés like it. The food was mediocre but wasn't bad by any means. The service was good, since staff were pretty nice and welcoming. The atmosphere was definitely enjoyable and warm. I'll be coming again.

Nightly specials and great service make this a great addition to Carmel Valley. All the servers are friendly and the food is plentiful. The beverage selection is quite extensive with beer and cider on tap and popular wines by the glass. During nice weather, the beer garden out back adds an extra touch. If you are in the area, stop in!

Great food! Can’t go wrong here. Everything we ordered was fantastic. On holidays, they have a special shrimp and avocado eggs Benedict that is to die for and make sure to get the banana pecan french toast.

Super cute little spot! The staff were super friendly and accommodating. We came in looking for black tea, since every other coffee/tea spot in town seemed like it was closed at 2 pm, and they were so nice to us! Tremendously appreciated them! Can't wait to come back!

We went here for brunch. The food was great, my eggs were perfectly over easy and the pancakes were lightly crisped on the outside side and fluffy on the inside. They also have a range of juices that can be used for the mimosas, which is great because I am mildly allergic to orange juice. We liked this place so much we went back for dinner.

Food was great! Everything you want in a valley diner. Poor servers were definitely understaffed but they were still so friendly and quick. We got the Eggs Your Way, French toast and Seanies Delight. All were delicious. The jam that came with the toast was unreal.

Very accommodating. We called to place our order ahead for dine in since we were on a time crunch. We arrived, sat down and immediately got our food. I ordered their Trail Cafe special (I think that's the name) and everything was cooked and tasted really good! My favorite part were the pancakes. Highly recommend this place for anyone who's passing through Carmel Valley!

Absolutely delicious brunch. Comfortable outdoor seating and service was pleasant. and friendly.

Don’t let the Beer Garden tag fool you! This little gem of a local eatery is serving up some fantastic tasting meals with many a European flare. From France to Spain, you can dive in to whatever you are seeking. We stopped for breakfast on a Sunday morning, not too crowded at 9:30, but hopping by the time we left. My wife had the Tocino Omellet and I had 2 Eggs my way with a ham steak. They have decadent beignets and I was told to check out the Mac N Cheese, which I had to have hot, so I ordered a small kids plate as a side and was floored by the flavor. They offer several different combos of that, so I cannot wait to get back and try more. Friendly servers and quaint and relaxing ambiance, make this a great choice for breakfast or lunch. Gotta check out dinner next time!

Tried the basil tomato eggs Benedict and a peach ballini. Outstanding service beautiful friendly waitress! Loved the experience.

This is a great place to grab food in carmel Valley. Everything we've had has been really good. The Cobb salad is delicious, bomb sandwiches and great pork. Really good selection of beers on draft and bottles/cans as well as many choices for wine. We will be back

Plaza Linda is a family-owned Mexican restaurant in Carmel Valley Village, which shares its location with several wine tasting rooms in the East End Wine Row. It's the perfect spot for a great dinner after an afternoon of wine tasting. Every time we've been here the food and service have been excellent. They have a very nice selection of enchiladas, tamales, tacos, burritos, chile rellenos, pupusas, and seafood dishes. I recently tried the Puerto Vallarta, which is a platter with two crab meat and shrimp enchiladas cooked with a special blend of sauces cooked in white wine and mushrooms. A very tasty dish and probably some of the best enchiladas I've had in whole Monterey area. Most dishes come with rice and seasoned black beans, which are also nicely prepared and very tasty. Plaza Linda has a full bar, which is a nice feature when you consider that a lot of other Mexican restaurants in the area only serve wine and beer. It's great to have the option of a Margarita to drink with your dinner. They also have a beautiful outdoor seating area and a couple of tables have built-in fire pits in case you want some fresh air when it's a little nippy outside. Highly recommended.

Went for an early dinner. Sat on the patio. Only one other table who left shortly after we sat. All other customers at the bar. No one came to bring water or ask for our drink order let alone food order until we got up and went inside to leave. Have eaten here before and enjoyed. Sadly based on this experience we won’t be back.

Deborah was awesome and we had the best time 😂

This cornerside Mexican dining is definitely upscale and spot on with creating an inviting ambiance. Located at the end of town walking distance from several hotels, it was an easy choice, especially after a local resident mentioned homemade Papusas. So we ventured a visit. Menu prices were a little steep, but the flavor impact made the blow softer. We talked with one of the owners, they are 2 brothers who appear to be successfully catering to the community and offering a specialty to all the visitors. There were regulars present at the bar, and many locals who shared stories about what they love on the menu. My wife ordered the Coyotito chicken salad which exploded with flavor pairings and included a perfectly constructed quesadilla as the crouton. I ordered the Two Papusas, which looked simple, but packed a punch, an amazing combination of flavor with the cabbage salad and tomato sauce. Let’s not forget the bar selections, they have a plethora of tequilas, which can be ordered individually, a la margarita, or in flights. We had a house margarita and a premium with Patron. They feature their homemade sweet and sour mix, but it was a miss for us, it tasted too watered down. All in all, we would return for more tastiness, I hope they continue to remain successful.

Loved it! great place and the service was amazing! The food was delicious!

Really nice people work here, the food is the best part, try Carne Asada plate

Came in at 2pm on a Sunday and was immediately seated. Ordered a couple of margaritas, chicken fajitas, nachos, and a chicken caesar salad. From the atmosphere to the servuce to the food, everything was top notch. Our server was friendly, the food was prepared to exceed expectations. As a local, I thought I had found the best place for authentic Mexican cuisine in Monterey County. I am happily revising that thought. Plaza Linda is a place I will be visiting far more often.

Food is delicious. Great patio and a fun environment. Will be back.

What a hidden gem! If you are available during their very limited hours, do it! Adorable dog-friendly little back patio and gift shop, and as the other reviews attest to they have incredible food for this area. They are primarily a caterer and offer a lot of take-home meal options as well with a rotating menu.

Baum & Blume is absolutely fabulous! They have a variety of menu choices and we have had extraordinary meals at a very fair price. My mother knows how much I enjoy their creations and picked up a birthday dinner to go for me and my husband. The package even had beautiful birthday chocolates. Thank you Baum & Blume!

This place is truly a gem. My husband and I were looking for a space large enough to fit our 25 person wedding rehearsal party in Carmel Valley but still keep it an intimate setting. Right away, a deliciously curated menu was brought together within 24hrs of contact. Decor and lighting was taken care of and made for a beautiful dinner. The food was amazing. It had all of the home-cooked dinner feel with the experience of a classic French bistro!

I love BAum and Blume bc their menu is always so interesting and everything is always delicious! Plus the owners are so charming and accommodating. We have had the pleasure of enjoying their food at catered events. My husband and I have also eaten at their small restaurant in Carmel Valley. The only thing we have not experienced is carry out but we plan to do that this week!

Picked up 2 of the best fruitcakes from Baum and Blume. I meant to serve them over the holidays but we opened one and couldn't stop! They are fabulous!

I absolutely adore the small restaurant in a gift shop. There are only two tables so first come first serve. It is utterly charming and the chef is wonderful as is the food. I will be going every chance I get.

Have used them since we moved in 25 years ago. Take out meals and catering. My family has loved the take out dinners and we have had them cater dinners and parties. The best. Try them

My first visit here. Super friendly, with creative and delicious food. I look forward to coming back so I can try more dishes.

We celebrated a birthday there. I was excited to eat dinner at this restaurant. I experienced lackluster service and food. The server will disappear. No spoon given for the seafood stew. The flavor was very light, which to be fair might be good for some pallets. For the price, very little seafood included. The house wines were terrible with a bitter finish. Beautiful views of The Valley and Vinyard. We also sat at the bar before dinner and experienced lack of of attention. Employees were busy chatting. The drinks were very good.

Bert is the best server! He made my daughters birthday so very special. I will tell all of my friends how well the service is here and how delicious our meal was! Thank you Bert!

Starters were good. Lobster risotto- portion was rather small but taste was fine. Mary’s chicken- this plate really upset me frankly. One strip of chicken breast cut and a piece of wing(?!!) and side was different from the description but not explained. I am not sure if anyone would expect this for 44 dollar dish. Desserts - tastes were not great but good on your eyes.

Lot of options for vegetarians and also the ones on strict diet. Cozy rustic place beautiful for a weekend morning breakfast. Friendly welcoming service and nice fireplace. I think we missed the pancake/waffle live counter which was outside.

Had both breakfast and dinner there. Food is not cheap but decent. Service was pretty good. Our server Leo, Jose and Antony were amazing.

Amazing breakfast. We got crab cake, smoked salmon bagel and french toast, and all of them were super tasty.

Had both breakfast and dinner here. The breakfast here is okay, and the dinner is better! I love the lobster risotto that I had. The waiter is very friendly and attentive, and is happy to adjust the dish for my diet restrictions. The panna cotta is very delicate and delicious! Highly recommended 😋

My husband and I took a beautiful Sunday drive from Monterey to a longtime favorite destination over the past 30 years, the Carmel Valley Ranch Resort. We dined at their Valley Kitchen off at this great hotel set in a gorgeous setting, overlooking the swimming pool and patio. We both wanted to have an egg dish at lunch today at 2:30 pm as we were a bit late for their Breakfast hours. The Lunch menu had many tempting choices and the item we both selected was the Valley Kitchen’s Swing Omelet. This amazingly delicious and very unique omelet features Sauteed Shrimp, Smoked Bacon, Monterey Jack Cheese, Spinach, Mushroom, Avocado Aioli, Pico de Gallo plus a choice of toast and a choice of salad, fruit or country potatoes. Service was attentive and we were very well cared for by our server, Alex, who has worked there for several years. It was my husband’s birthday recently, so after lunch, we stopped off at their ice cream sundae bar served in their Gift Store which was fun and creative. We sat outside on their front patio and enjoyed the ice cream adorned with a number of colorful sweet toppings, from chocolate to caramel sauce, Oreo cookies, mini-m and m’s and more. We noted that the Valley Kitchen also has a great menu for Breakfast with lots of unique and traditional favorites. For both Lunch and Dinner, the Valley Kitchen also has a terrific menu, and we plan to come back and try some of their sandwiches on their Lunch menu which includes Hot Pastrami, Grilled Chicken, CVR Burger, Smash burger, and a Rancho Caprese Sandwich. They also have three types of Tacos and many interesting Salads too plus a Hummus and Harvest plate we’d love to try. The dinner menu looks great and includes light fare such as Seared Cabbage, Swank ranch salad, Burrata and Stone Fruit, Scallops, Beet Salad, Scallops and more. For main entrees they have Sweet Corn, Crab and Shrimp risotto, Lobster Paccheri Pasta, Salmon, Alaskan Halibut, 14-ounce Niman Ranch ribeye, Citrus Half Chicken, Duck Garganelli Pasta, Bourbon and Rum Braised Short Ribs and a 16-ounce Bone-In Pork Chop. Can’t wait to come back soon and try some of these items from their talented chefs. We have stayed at the hotel in the past and it truly is a wonderful family-friendly luxurious well-run sanctuary in the middle of Carmel Valley, with lots of places to relax and overlook their vineyard, golf course, majestic oak trees with lacy lichen, and the great mountains of the nearby Ventana Wilderness. The resort summarizes, “From tasty s’mores to tasteful suites, playful activities to artisan treats, Carmel Valley Ranch is a 500-acre oasis focused on fun.” Check it out!

The service and atmosphere is good , but the food is terrible. We tried a lot of food and I did not like anything. Seabass was chewy, cheesecake just not tasty like the rest of the food. Burrata just boring. My point the food is not balanced with flavors and so on. Like the menu was not designed by real chef 🧑‍🍳. Very weird mix of ingredients and so on.

A magical setting, fabulous Bernardus (and other vineyards) wine… did not have food. As a child of a local Carmel family it’s rare for me to spend one of my few available free days while I’m in town this deep in the valley. Well it was worth the 15-20 minute drive! From the moment we stepped foot on the resort property our service was impeccable (thank you Justin). We toured the grounds and they made an impromptu and custom wine tasting for us which was so special. Justin even printed out a document I needed that was time sensitive for me! I will go again and recommend to friends visiting for a day excursion or overnight resort treat!

Amazing place. Service is top notch, food is super delicious on the level of Michelin star, cozy atmosphere and great vibe of Carmel valley. somewhat pricey but in my opinion worth it. We got ahi tuna for appetiser, salmon, butternut squash ravioli for main dishes and both were amazing. For desert we got fig cheesecake with pistachios and it was mind blowing. Nice wine selection and some draft beers. very special place!

Had the tasting menu which was a fair value The gazpacho, smoked salmon stuffed with dungeness crab, and scallops were delicious. The sea bass was dry and fishy in taste. The profiterole was unique. It had a brown butter crust with a delicious madagascar filling.

Delicious meal! We ordered the steak, the lamb chops and the fresh catch of the day plus an incredible salad and carrot ginger soup. Highly recommend!

Today for the first time my husband and I went to dinner at Lucia restaurant. Since we arrived our Hostess was very attentive, he welcomed us with a big smile. They allowed us to choose the best table. Our waiter Luis was very attentive. The food was too delicious, the busser was also very attentive. Holly was very attentive to us. Luis our waiter was always attentive to ensure that we were enjoying the food and the place. Sidney brought the food with a big smile. This was one of the best experiences my husband and I had at a dinner where we celebrated his birthday! This place is very cozy, beautiful, elegant, we loved it! Thank you all so much for making our night very special.

We were looking for a place to eat and a local recommended this place. We were staying a the lodge and we generally don’t eat at our hotel restaurant. This restaurant is a definite exception. My short rib dinner dish was as good as it gets. Here is something I’ve never said. My huevos rancheros breakfast was my favorite meal of the trip.

Phenomenal place. Just shy of a Michelin star in my opinion. Ingredients are fresh and stay truthful to their flavors. Nothing is pretentious. It is just good food presented in an upscale, classy manner. The food is a bit subdued for the atmosphere but perhaps that's what the chef is going for. I couldn't ask for a better dinner with friends and family. Will return just for Lucia.

Pretty good experience. Although no tasting menu was available. Food was pretty good. Servers, etc. were friendly. We used to dine hear when "Cal" was the executive chef. Food was much more elevated then. Very nice place, just a different experience from our previous ones.

Beautiful atmosphere and restaurant. Great food. Loved the scallops and risotto, with mushrooms and asparagus. Soooo good!!!

My wife and I had an incredible meal. Wonderful service, lovely location, great food. My wife had the king salmon and it was superb. I had the Angus prime filet and it was a perfect piece of meat, perfectly cooked. We also had the Dungeness crab cake and a nice caesar salad. We also had cremé brulee for desert with some delicious port wine. I'm knocking them down one star only because it irks me to be charged $10 for bread at the table when we spent $150 per person for the meal.

Great cash only spot to grab some breakfast. On another Google reviewers recommendation we shared their amazing pumpkin pie pancakes which are delicious. The wife and I also had their chicken fried steak and eggs which we both devoured promptly. Their potatoes are another stand out featured on their menu that I would have to recommend. Definitely try this place out if you get the chance.

Old school and quaint. The service was gast and the food was awesome. Biscuits and gravy is the real deal and delicious. And, it's served as a a side with breakfast!

This place is great! Kid friendly, many different breakfast options, staff was super friendly and the food came out reasonably quick. I had the steak and eggs with potatoes and sourdough. We decided it was so good we went 2 days in a row. Would highly recommend 👌

Everything was delicious they had my favorite blueberry 🫐 pancakes eggs was cooked perfect . Definitely will come back

Under new ownership. The service is great. There were a few hiccups but the food is excellent. Particularly the oatmeal and pumpkin pancakes. It’s cash only or Venmo.

Very friendly place. Great wait staff. Super dog friendly. Cute casual decor. Food was a bit basic and coffee was where it slipped to 4 stars. But overall nice breakfast place.

Great little spot where we had our team lunch/brunch. Fast, original, cash only.

What a memorable dining experience. Jumbo sized authentically from Mexico Fantas, a variety of margaritas that make you happy fast, and a definite win in authenticity - tripe soup! It was delicious!

There is nothing negative to say. This place was fantastic! From the service to the food. I will always come back.

I recently dined in at Baja Cantina for the first time. The atmosphere was very welcoming and our waiter was thankfully fast. Good help is difficult to come by anymore especially when the restaurant was alreadyshort staffed. It seems to be a common issue amongst other businesses right now due to COVID-19. The food was great and came out quickly! I would love to go back to try more items.

I love this place! Glad a friend recommended it! Friendly staff, EXCELLENT FOOD and lots of it! Thank you! I will be back again, and again! Shrimp Tacos are Bomb!!😋

Food is very good. Took awhile to get seated. The waitress was also the hostess and bartender at the time we were there. BUT she did do a good job. And we enjoyed ourselves.

That restaurant is so good, very clean and organized. Food is so yummy. I had the Baja Fish Tacos. So good! I would come back again.

I have lived in NM and AZ prior and was looking for a somewhat decent Mexican food restaurant since moving to the area. We were pleasantly surprised at how great the margaritas and food were. By far the best place we have been in town. We never made it into the old location but this new one felt very clean and not overly crowded when we stopped in.

First off, friendly and professional staff. Truly give you the impression they want to serve you and they have want of you enjoying your choice to be there. The food was excellent, starting with the menu being easy to read, a huge plus for me as it allowed me to examine it and feel confident in what I was ordering. Ordering at Mexican restaurants have been a problem for me and sadly I rarely received what I thought I was ordering. The portion of food was excellent and the flavor of each item was delicious. I would highly recommend if it is Mexican you have a taste for on the Peninsula, Baja Cantina is the "place".

Food was the worst any of us have ever had in our lives. Made wrong disgusting flavor. Sent it back we will absolutely never return to this awful restaurant. Save time and money go to taco time. The food is 100 times better than that place. The ones who ate anything went back to our hotel room puking and the trots. DONT EAT THERE . That poor one decent employee omg. Over priced poison If I could give it no stars I definitely would.

Over priced, dried out food, the service was horrible, and served my drink In a broken glass and was never offered to replace my drink or have a refill. I give this place a 0 star

Really have enjoyed this place, Food is great and nice ambiance. Service was a little on the slow side but with the off-season, staffing can be hit or miss but was great when they were present. I went with the fajitas and was surprised at how the great flavors came together. My wife really enjoyed her nachos and the portions we enough for 2 meals. Definitely a Peninsula go to.

I had delicious carne asada fajita. My friend had carne asada enchiladas. It looked delicious. Great service.

Short staffed, only restaurant open after 8pm so busy was understatement. Server was exceptionally wonderful! Food was meh, at best. Ordered chicken fajitas and the cast iron skillet was warm, onions were fresh and non caramelized, green peppers were warmed and not grilled.

This Restaurant and Lounge can get very loud during the busy times. However, it is our favorite restaurant. The food is excellent. The staff is kind and personable. I highly recommend anything with carne asada and the bacon wrapped shrimp are out of this world!

Their chips are excellent. Other than the Burrito Coronado, everything else was mediocre. The food is not fresh except the veggie toppings. My food are hot outside but room temp inside. And it came out fast, so i think they reheated something that was premade.

Used to be my girlfriend and I's favorite place for Mexican food in sequim. This is not a professional establishment and does not conduct business accordingly. Food is fine, but people running it, are not good people.

Drove out to Kathy’s Little Kitchen after spending the morning and early afternoon hiking Point Lobos. We were very hungry. I had a carnitas taco and a chicken taco. Spouse had a chicken taco and a chili verde taco. They were excellent. We both loved the refried beans. Place is small. We sat outside and enjoyed our late lunch. Worth the drive from Carmel for fresh well prepared Mexican food.

This is a little hole in the wall and the people loves this place. I finally know why! The food is good, fresh made and delicious and the prices are reasonable. What’s even more impressive is that they take Apple Pay!!! Seating is limited but if you want a quick bite to go this is the place. Menu options are wonderful.

The GOAT - anytime I am visiting in the valley I always stop to get a bomb burrito or other food. It's not the highest quality food, but it has that made-in-your-momma's kitchen taste that is so hard for a restaurant to replicate. Love it!!

Went to this place after it was noted in an article and really close to some great hiking!

Consistently delicious 😋 small family run and friendly! Great tortas, burritos and more, definitely a must try when in the valley.

Great place for breakfast and super affordable. They’re also very quick to fulfill your order so if you’re on the go this is a great place to stop. The staff is also friendly and accommodating. The food is good. If I could do it again I would still order the breakfast burrito but I would add sour cream, pico de gallo & avocado to it. It was really filling but a little on the dry side. Overall, I would highly recommend this place if you’re in the area and looking for breakfast.

Very impressed with the taste, correct seasoning (not overly salty) and portion size. Chile Rellenos plate, rice and beans all veru good. Vegetarian Burrito polished off yum. Chips and Guac smooth kind which was good, I like mine better. Has a Few outside seats and coupleseats inside. Order at the counter they will bring it to your table. Great for takeout. So far its the best Mexican in the Valley I've had :) Only wish I had ordered chips and salsa,.Its not included with the combo plates, so remember to order.

The first time I visited Kathy's, I tried their chile relleno plate. The two chile rellenos it came with were very small and had little cheese in them, and the sauce it came with was unfortunately mild and bland, as was the rice (honestly maybe the most flavorless spanish rice i've had out many). For the amount of food you get, I would definitely say it's overpriced as well. I work in the area, and decided to try Kathy's for a second time in hopes that it had just been an off day the first time I went. I tried a standard carne asada (beef) burrito without any rice. The tortilla that the burrito was wrapped in was pretty hard and seemed maybe stale. There were plenty of beans throughout, and very large pieces of carne asada that were very fatty and chewy. Halfway though I almost choked on a long chewy piece of meat and had to use my fingers to pull it out of my throat. I actually took a picture but decided not to post so I don't disgust anyone. I have probably had hundreds of carne asada burritos, and this was for sure one of the worst. After both visits, I unfortunately don't plan to come back. If you are visiting from out of the area, I would recommend stopping by a number of spots on the peninsula or if you get the chance to definitely look up places in Salinas, some of the best mexican food you will find.

Quaint little breakfast spot with indoor and outdoor seating. Yummy food

A tiny Mexican restaurant fit perfectly between fantastic food and completely local. Fantastic atmosphere and amazing food

Ordered the carnitas,lengua and fish taco. Good portion and fresh ingredients! Carnitas and fish tacos are really good, well seasoned meat. Would return for more!

So delicious!!! Unexpected. Some of the best lengua we’ve ever had. The chile verde taco was full of spices and had a bite to it. Everything we got was good and fairly priced.

Great chile relleno and shrimp tacos! Just a little hole-in-the-wall place. Good prices and good food. There's salsa is too hot for me but I do enjoy the chili riano and shrimp tacos

Good food and service and very reasonable pricing

My son & I went & had fabulous Menudo on Sunday

That was incredible!! The adobada was perfection

Same food, service, and wine in a much more convenient location. 1.5 hours from order to entre, but that is similar to before.

No. His food is okay but it's not worth the wait,his dogs roaming freely in a restaurant, or the PRICE$$$! Unless you want to sacrifice an arm or a leg.I lived on the Douglas Ranch and know thier "facilities". I also know Mike Jones Monday night dinners from the General Store. Neither are worth the price or your time.

Fresh excellent bread for sandwich, bruschetta felt like had frozen tomatoes, garlic bread with no cheese was not bad. There were flies near the table :(so just 4 stars

We had the Margarita pizza and garlic bread. Both have plenty of cheese on them. The base sauces on them have a bit stronger sweeter taste which makes them a bit less tasty. The garlic bread is overpowered by the cheese and the base sauce which doesn’t have the good garlic taste (you may get a little bit more on the edge pieces). This is disappointing! The basil is sliced and added to the pizza after baking, but it doesn’t have the basil’s aroma at all! Both can fill you up very quickly! Service is not that great. We ordered the takeout, but they didn’t give us any plates and napkins. Maybe they expected you to collect these yourself in the store. If that’s the case, they should have told us when we paid the bill.

Cute little restaurant with a few tables in the outside seating area. Pleasant staff, helpful and knowledgeable. First time I stopped here for lunch, I ordered the lunch special. For a decent price, I was given 4 raviolis with a side salad. The salad was a good portion. Ravioli was stuffed with cheese and the sauce very rich in flavor. Second time I stopped here was for a meatball sub. Good amount of meatballs, but they were more flat than round. Crunchy bread and a good sauce. Also came with a side salad which made it a filling meal. Overall a great little place to stop for lunch. Haven't tried the pizza yet but that will be for next time!

Great little neighborhood Italian restaurant in a strip mall. Don't let that deter you. First day we went we just had salad. We chose a Greek salad and it was huge and delicious. Next time we went we had a pizza and the Greek salad again. Prices are good, and they had a revolving door of people coming and picking up pizzas so we figured we weren't the only ones who liked it. Service was fast and pleasant. Salad picture is my half, hubby had the rest.

This pizzeria is EXCELLENT. There are a TON of toppings on the pizza and the dough is thin but not crunchy - cooked perfectly. Would definitely recommend anyone to come here!!!

Food is delicious and made fresh daily. I've gotten the pizza which has generous sizes compared to chain pizzerias and has great taste. Meatball sandwich was on point and came with a cesar salad. The best dish I've had so far is the chicken alfredo, so creamy and cheesy and comes with cheese garlic bread! Glad I got to eat here because of work. If you're in Carmel I think its worth the trip. Will be coming here to eat whenever I'm in Carmel again.

YES, love the thai food here , gluten free options for my fellow gluten intolerant friends. great seating outdoors. come here

Food wasn‘t good, service was slow although we were the only customers and no free refills on the sodas. We were really disappointed.

Authentic Thai food. Absolutely delicious. I asked for Mango & sweet rice (as it had a good memory attached to a visit to Thailand). I don't know if it was on the menu, but they made it for me. Such sweet staff & flavorful food. Service was a little slow (think there are few staff), but worth it.

the food is really good, but they definitely need to work on their service. We waited really long, then the wrong order came, so my husband and I ended up eating separately, which was not nice!

Horrible PAD thai dish. I ordered veggies pad thai and they gave me over cooked chicken. It was the worse pad thai dish I ever had. Do not go.

Nothing special, but I probably have a quite high standard for my Thai food. Still food was very decent, quite nice mango sticky rice. Fried rice was OK, Pad-thai was surprisingly good too.

Ordered burrito loaded. Next time without the beans since they only have refried. Tacos were good portions of meat.

Loved the chili rellenos. Asked for the hottest sauce for chips & yep the place lit me up, lil hole in the wall with good food.

Delicious Chile relleno ... one of the best I've eaten. Extremely fresh tasting. Charming, authentic decor. Kind of wish we didn't have plastic forks et al., but next time, I'll bring my own! 🙂

Authentic Mexican Cuisine. The shrimp and crab nachos were delicious good prices and friendly staff.

Family run, great little Mexican spot. Really good prices and excellent sauce and salsa flavors.

Very tasty, well priced, authentic good. Cute restaurant although I mostly to do to-go food.

Amazing food, I ended up moving to Texas in 2022. Their Chili Colorado Burrito is the best thing I think. Also their hottest salsa is my favorite. Everything is all made with passion and love. Thank you Lucy for everything! I hope 2023 is profitable and God Bless. Not so keen on Mexican food in Texas. Its completely different. Not the same quality do you ship next day? Have a Happy New Year!

This restaurant has room for improvement in terms of their service quality and hygiene practices. It's important for them to ensure that food that has fallen on the floor is not served to customers. Additionally, bringing back the yogurt that used to be served with meals would be delightful.

A group of friends stopped by for dinner at Kabob lounge. The food is much better with the new owners(family owned). The place was clean, the service is fast and staff is friendly. We will definitely go back and recommend the restaurant.

Our office regularly orders lunch from Kabob Lounge Carmel Valley and it's always delicious. We’ve ordered everything on their menu, from the plates to salads to wraps. The meat is always tender and full of flavor, their salmon tastes as if we just took it off the grill from our backyard (if our office had a backyard), and their falafel is cooked perfectly, crunchy on the outside and warm and moist on the inside with amazing flavor. Having tried so much of their menu, we decided to try the Buffalo Chicken Pizza! I’ve had my share of pizzas, and this pizza is OUTSTANDING! The crust is perfectly cooked and the ideal thickness and texture if you enjoy wood fired pizzas. The chicken was NOT dried out, rather had the perfect moistness that isn’t typical for chicken on pizzas. Then add the buffalo sauce, mozzarella and a few onions, and it was heaven in every bite. We highly recommend trying their new pizzas. We don't have a picture because the pizza was eaten quickly!

The worst Mediterranean food I have ever tasted, in fact it was so bad I could not even take more than one bite of it.. Never going back !! I ordered Lamb Tenderloin and it just tasted weird and felt like it was not fresh at all , as for the Chicken wrap and chicken strip they were just pieces of rubber. I honestly have seen better salad at MacDonalds. Save your money.

The food was pretty good and a reasonable price. The falafel wraps and hummus were quite tasty. The reason I am writing this review though is the babaganoush. It had a fantastic roasted flavor.

This place was great for a light dinner. We had hoped to get some Turkish pizzas, but they were out when we got there around 7:30 in the evening. The meze and the wraps were delicious. Staff working that evening were very friendly while there was a steady stream of people dining in and getting take out. The location is a bit strange in an office park, but was conveniently close to the Double Tree and other hotels just up the road.

Our experience at Kabob Lounge was absolutely amazing. The Persian Pizza is without a doubt the BEST Persian Pizza you can find in the entire US. The service is impeccable and the food is outstanding. The location has a very welcoming atmosphere and everyone is super friendly. We will definitely be going back very soon!!

I’ve been in the US for about 9 years and I’ve been in different states/cities. I always tried persian pizza everywhere. Kabob Lounge is the absolute best. I loved the taste and it really took me back home. The management is extremely welcoming and kind. I recommend all the dishes at this amazing restaurant.

Aside from their Persian pizza which is the best in town their beef and chicken kabob is very fresh and tender as well. My favorite place in town.

Their pizza and Kabob is the best. The best food. The best services. We were a group of 8 adults and 6 kids. All of us loved our food.

Delicious food and fast service. The pita was served warm with hummus, the house salad dressing was great, and the gyros chicken wrap was incredibly flavorful. I will definitely be coming back!

I clocked off work and headed straight here for some Mediterranean food and this place didn’t disappoint. I ordered the spicy bowl with Spanakopita on the side. Now I never ordered spanakopita before and what I read is that’s it’s a handcrafted spinach pie. The staff member also let me try it with Tzatziki (yogurt) sauce. It was my favorite part of the meal to be honest, but the spicy bowl was good too. However, that spanakopita is out of this world, and everyone should try it at least once.

Eating sushi in Carmel, it’s what you’d expect. I would not recommend this restaurant. I think the restaurant really tries to make a mark with its sushi but it misses on all points. If you never had sushi before, you might enjoy the meal. We got the $145 sushi platter - the cuts of fish did not taste fresh, and the assortment was lackluster. The presentation made me lose my appetite, and was not worth what we paid. 1/5 stars. The rolls were marginally better, but Mika tends to try too hard to make them special, like adding a misplaced WHOLE carrot or nuts in the sushi. The tempura was overbreaded, the ginger slices were the size of apple slices. Save your money and go elsewhere.

Great food and service, cannot say enough good things about this place. The courtyard dining space was very nice. I had the sashimi and rainbow roll, presentation of both dishes was amazing. The taste and quality of fish were outstanding. Would highly recommend if your in the area.

In general, the food is on par with most sushi restaurants in the Monterey area. I was a little disappointed, however, with the Chirashi as it has limited selection of ordinary sushi, definitely not Chef's Choice.

We ordered Poke bowl and Chirashi. The fish and vegetables were all fresh and delicious. It was good to put Spicy Sauce (Korean chilly paste based sauce) in the Poke bowl. Fried vegetables were crunchy. The restaurant was neat, well organized and the atmosphere was really good. We all had a great time 💕

Really great sushi and good prices. The dining area is in an outdoor courtyard and while we were there, a very talented live one-woman-show played the piano and sang. Fresh, flavorful, and excellently priced sushi!

Well, you cannot expect too much from this remote place. The noodle is over boiled. Rolls are a bit over price

The new owners have done a great job upleveling this place, making it a beautiful gem. Amazing food, gorgeous patio garden with a ton of flowers and plants. We love it here! Even the bathroom is immaculate and beautiful. Also very kid-friendly with a spacious patio and lots of space between the tables.

My favorite sushi restaurant in Monterey County! Had dinner with my family at Mika and everything we ordered was delicious. This restaurant has the best tempura I’ve ever had because it was lightly battered and fried to perfection. I had the chirashi as the main course and the fish was so fresh. The owners are very friendly and obviously care about the quality of service and food. I can’t wait to go back!

My favorite deep dish pizza of all time! Pepperoni and pineapple is my go to order (I know it sounds weird and I was so skeptical when my friend introduced this to me bc I have never liked pineapple on a pizza). If you like traditional pizza this place is a must.

Great pizza as always and fantastic dynamic customer service, shout out to Mary for making fantastic conversation and keeping a good vibe

Yum! We hadn't had a pizza in quite a while so we decided to give it a try. So glad! They have a nice variety of toppings, a choice of thin, pan, or stuffed crust style, and good draft beer. A real treat!

The pizza here was very good. The pizza was deep but the dough was still crispy and not soggy or greasy. The bread sticks rocked too. I had never had ranch as a dipping sauce for bread sticks before coming to California, but now I'm a believer! Service was excellent.

Ordered through the app for pickup in 35 min. I arrived approximately 40 min later. Several people were milling around the order desk and the supervisor was clearly frazzled. I was told that they were behind as there were other orders. I was given a free beverage and my order was supposedly moved up. 60 minutes later, there's a disgruntled crowd. No pizzas are coming out. Issue is with running out of the prepped ingredients and having to do it on the fly. I could see my pizza order number on a box through the glass in the warmer. Also, my salad was sitting behond the counter. It took another 20 minutes to impress upon the supervisor that my order was done and to give it to me as it was prepaid. I live 5 min away. The pizza was stone cold. In their defense, there was a fundraiser event and they were not prepared. On the other hand, if you know there's a fundraiser event, it would be prudent to prepare for it. If i had known about the event, I would have avoided this day

Fresh brothers is not so fresh. Forget the food for a moment and focus on the customer service, the first thing I'm told when I walk in with my service animal is that I need to wait outside Fresh Brothers is lucky I even came in because a few days ago I had frozen chicken, Parmesan sliders, and I literally mean frozen in the middle. I almost broke my tooth on one of the sandwiches. Last night I wanted to give them another chance, so I ordered a pizza, I take the pizza home thinking it's good and my first bite on tasting uncooked dough - this seems to be a quality issue and I think you guys should slow down and focus on your mission statement rather than getting as many bad pizzas out as possible, thanks for the food poisoning. I'll never eat here again you can't pay me to. I don't even want my money back because it's dirty money.

Have had this pizza twice now and have found long hair pieces in my pizza… not sure why they aren’t using correct food safety precautions but they should be. I like the thing crust pizza a lot but not it only happening once but twice now is a little upsetting. Please use correct food safety measures so that people don’t waste money and lose their appetite.

I didn’t have a good experience in terms of food and service. I placed an order over the phone at 11. Got there at 11:30. Stupid me, added another item when I got there when my food was already ready. Took another 30 minutes for 3 meatball sliders. Only one person running the counter and back. So many customers waiting. A huge heard of students came in for lunch. They brought their own food and took up space to eat their lunch. Saw kids using the soda machine for free with their own cup. This place was too chaotic. Please check your order because I didn’t and when I got home, my $9.99 lunch deal was missing a salad and drink. I also received 1 garlic knots not 3 and it was burnt. To the owner, please hire more people if you can’t handle the volume. The long wait time and missing items was unacceptable. My fault for not checking. If I had eaten there then I would have noticed my missing items. Took me 30 mins to drive home. Was not worth the drive to come back. I ended up with a personal pan pizza (pepperoni), 5 bone in wings (mild), 3 meatball sliders and 1 not 3 garlic knots. The pizza was thin and crispy like a pita chip. It’s more of like a kids meal, worse than Lunchables version. The wings were small, the garlic knot was burnt. The meatball sliders were surprisingly the best out of all. Huge meatballs and you can’t go wrong on sweet rolls.

My son’s orthodontist is in the same shopping center so while he was get his braces tightened I decided grab a few things to bring home. I placed my order on-line and the site is fairly easy to use and very convenient. I was told my order would be ready in roughly 35 minutes and that was great for us. When we arrived our goodies were all packaged up in a heated compartment. We got the kids chicken nuggets which came with choice of drink (we asked for chocolate milk but must have forgot) and one cinnamon knot. My son really liked the chicken, it was fresh and had a nice breading on them. Price a bit more than I would pay but worth it is taste I guess. We also got an order of the cinnamon knots which my son ate almost immediately when we got home. We got an order of garlic knots as well. They were good but a bit breadier than what we are used to elsewhere. We are used to fluffier, lighter knots but these were good and there was no lack of garlic or butter. I also did not realize when I marked “side of ranch” on the kids meal and the garlic knots that there was a charge for each (I thought one was included). Then again the ranch was good so I will just remember next time. Good food, looking forward to trying out their pizza and salads during our next visit.

terrible service he switched up our pizzas and took FOREVER to get them in a cooked. On the phone for 10 minutes. We spent a total of 45 minutes in there waiting for our food. Pizza was not correct only 4 pepperonis on it!! food was also super dry. The ground was disgusting.WAY OVER PRICED FOR WHAT WE GOT. unbelievable. Don’t go to this place.

We’ve been regulars for a long time but I’ve been so disappointed lately. I keep giving this place another chance and it’s still going down hill. Today our order took forever (it was a brave decision to get a delivery again as all our previous deliveries were messed up one way or another). Today’s order took forever because despite a few calls past the promised delivery window, they finally told us oh it was probably delivered to a wrong house. Great. They didn’t offer to refund our money (seriously)? Just give us another 20 min and we will deliver. We ordered this pizza 1.5 ago and we are a mile down the road. When they finally showed up they brought cold pizza. Thanks. Other times they’d put the wrong sauce on or forget the side sauces I’d ask and pay for. The place is not as clean anymore either. Outside tables rarely get cleaned on time and can be sitting full of half eaten food forever even when there are no customers in site. When mask mandates were/are in, a few cashiers would keep them under their noses always. I just find them care less and less. I will have to find a new place.

I ordered a simple pepperoni and cheese pizza. When I picked it up and immediately notice the pepperoni is overcooked. Every pepperoni has black burned circle. I'm too hungry to ask them to redo it. Just left the store speechless. I ordered pizzas only few times from this store in the past and this is second time they overcooked the pizza. Imaging how often they make bad pizzas. Can't believe they still don't know how to do simple pizza right. Maybe something is wrong in this store management.

Got an email to pre-order food for Halloween. Ordered the day before and set time for delivery. No food at expected delivery time. Called 3 times over a 3 hour period and was told the food was delayed, then it was being cooked then it was out for delivery. Food never got here and finally called again to cancel - no apologies from the restaurant whatsoever. Ruined the halloween gathering that we were to provide food for. This is not a way to run a restaurant. Don't order from this place - horrible business practices.

Excellent tasting Pizza, and that's what really matters. Ordered a vegetarian option and was surprised by the fresh taste of ingredients, subtly seasoned to achieve a natural taste that I found delicious. The crust was paper thin, which is to my liking as well, but it was soggy and wished it would have been a more on the crispy side (if at all technically possible). Overall, great pizza and highly recommended. By a 61 year old foodie.

my friend and i ordered a 6 piece fresh knots. it took about 40 minutes before i received my knots. once i opened the box i realized these knots were severely small and burnt. i know what these knots should look like, and was taken aback once i opened the box. the staff acted as if they didn’t know what i was talking about. once i got a new box of proper knots, they were still slightly burnt. below is a photo of the burnt and small knots compared to the regular knot. i was shocked how i was horribly scammed and manipulated.

First time trying out fresh brothers. You place your order first and then you find your seat if you're dining in (outdoor patio available with umbrellas). We ordered Caesar salad, baked wings, and a medium pizza. The Caesar salad was nice and fresh; a good start. The wings came out and man the size of these were not worth the purchase (see pictures). The highlight was the pizza that was very delicious; as mentioned that they use fresh high quality ingredients. They had 1 freestyle soda machine but it was very disappointing that "regular coca cola" was not available. On top of that a long line with kids trying to mix and match flavors. An okay first impression here. I'd come back for the pizza and pass on the wings.

It is hard to find keto pizza. I’ve never ordered food from FB’s before - was excited to try it. Placed a delivery order, quoted 75mins for two pizzas, wings, and chicken bites. Seemed like a long time, especially when my 16 year old order Domino’s 20 mins after and it delivered within 25mins. When my order finally showed up 135mins later, pizza was burnt and order was wrong; no wings - two orders of chicken bites. I would like to give them the benefit of the doubt, but it will be a while before I try them again.

Great pizza place! Their thin crust pizza is delicious! Salads were good too. The staff was very friendly and nice. Highly recommended!

Crust me on this one, you should check out Fresh Brothers. Let me tell you about this vegan deep dish we got from @freshbrothers usually the crust on pizza is just something to eat but their crust was my favorite part 😍 I will admit I have a hard time calling this deep dish (because I’m from the Midwest and have had Chicago deep dish) but overall it’s still a yummy pizza and I’m glad they have the vegan options ❤️🍕

Little hole in the wall as they say with great food and service. Went for the first time a few weeks ago and returned yesterday. Was not disappointed either time. Food is very flavorful to every bite. Service is excellent always on point. Very friendly people. The quality and prices overall is great. I will say this place is well worth coming back too.

Walking in is stepping into a different world! Hidden in the corner of a strip mall is a portal to Cuba. Although it is darker inside once your eyes adjust, it is a comfortable restaurant. I ordered the Chicken breast in Mojo sauce and my wife got the oxtail. Both were good. We both cleaned our plates. The service was good and we declared that this is our new go to place for Cuban food in the east valley!

I was starving this evening and needed something filling. I found this place on the Upside App. The food was Amazing!! I had the churrasco plate. The steak was big, thin and juicy cooked in chimichurri. The sides were black beans, white rice, tostones and fried plantains. So so good! The service was also quick and timely. I would definitely give this place a try. This was my first time so I was very impressed. Coming back again soon.

This was our first time and the food was tasty and large portions. The food is prepare on the order and it is fresh. The staff was very friendly and always making sure if we needed anything. We highly recommend this restaurant it is a hidden gem. Thank you so much!

Exactly what I wanted, a tasty Cubano. Plus some fried plantains never hurts. Service was great and quick. If parking lot in front is full there is a street just east with space.

Nice little Cuban 🇨🇺 spot in the Valley. Food was delicious and all provided by really nice people!

The food was delicious, and tasted like home. The oxtail stew was delightfully tender and flavorful along with tostones that were fried to perfection. Will definitely visit again!

Doesn’t look like much from the outside but the food is EXCELLENT and they’ve done a great job of making the interior look much nicer than the building. Mostly paleo and gluten-free friendly options, too. I’d recommend the plantain cups (but not with shredded beef because it’s impossible to take a bite out of) and the yuca fritas (not on their print menu for some reason) and the pork with mojo sauce was amazing! Excellent flan, too. Hopefully they’ll improve on their wine options and get an Albariño or a Torrontes or other Spanish or South American variety that pairs well with their food!

Like other people have mentioned, this is definitely a hidden gem! I usually have their shrimp in garlic sauce, I love the chicken breast dish as well! The staff is always friendly and the portion size is good! My family and I love he food. I will be back

Never open

Wwwaaaaayyyyyyy more expensive than the quality and quantity of food. The insides of the sandwiches were scrappy at best. Go to Beach Hut Deli. So much better, so much more meat and way less expensive.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️5 Stars and 2 thumbs up 👍👍, very friendly and polite employee and very tasty sandwich. Thank you TJ and Brian this company just make 1 more customer. Today was my first day i think the “Subway” is in trouble…. Lol

I’m going to tell you something. We visited on a Saturday afternoon. One gentleman was in charge and training another. He was a star! He multitasked, took orders and made the sandwiches. He remained calm and completed everything. I got the Italian grinder and it was yummy.

I love which wish. their subs have great flavor and are so customizable. plus their fries are good too and they have good chips too. the restaurant was clean and the employees were friendly

This was my first time trying out Which Wich sandwiches, and I liked it a lot! Very delicious and affordable. I've tried other subs like subway or jersey Mike's and for me those have to much bread. I love that the bread form this place is very thin, and you get to enjoy the actual ingredients on the sandwich 👍 Also the guy and the girl attending customers in the morning are very kind and nice, they made us feel welcome and we left very happy 😁 Thank you! I will definitely come back. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Six stars!

Ordered a french dip, cup of "broth" that tasted like beef bullion was put in the bag, sideways spilling most. Sandwich was this tiny bare thing, just bread and a little beef.

2020 Right on brand. After blacklisting them for 2 years I went back and they made a perfectly delicious sandwich. Came back 2 weeks later and they managed to build sandwiches for my wife and I comprised of all of our least favorite ingredients. Of course we didn't realize until 30 minutes later when we got home to eat. Which wich is in your to go bag is anyone's guess. 2018 Constantly incapable of making what you write on the bag. 50/50 they screw something up. When you luck in to getting what you order it's good it's super tasty. Eat in or unwrap before you go, and let it all fall apart in the plastic bag. Which Wich, for $10 a sandwich you need to get it together already!

Great food, veggie options and friendly staff. Highly recommended

Good sandwiches, reasonable prices, quality meats and cheeses, generous portions.
