Breakfast was good. The french toast was EXCELLENT! If you like french toast, you should try theirs. The wait staff was very nice, but service was slow and she didn't have time to refill coffee and such (there weren't that many customers, but she was the only wait staff). We were not in a hurry, outdoor seating is nice and... More

A typical breakfast diner with friendly service and casual atmosphere? My friend had the breakfast burrito and I had fried eggs and bacon and hash browns. Great coffee!

The customer service is great and the food is fresh and delicious. Comfortable outdoor dining available. Indoor atmosphere is quaint, but the food experience is as good as the highest rated restaurants in town. This little jewel is located next to the best general store in Big Sur, along with a Chevron station and Big Sur Library (not to be... More

We stopped here for light refreshment on our way to the state park. The outside deck area is very inviting and the lunch menu has lots of options. There are restrooms, gift shops and a pleasant curb appeal. It was busy when we were there, but the staff was very nice and accommodating. It is a convenient stopover going either... More

In case this enchanting town isn't lovely enough on it's own, it becomes even more irresistible with Ripplewood's breakfast. It's nothing special on the inside, but don't be fooled. You'll be delighted whatever you choose, from the small menu. However, you MUST have the breakfast potato gratin. I dream about these potato's!!!

We had a delicious breakfast at this unassuming restaurant. I highly recommend the huevos rancheros.

I wouldn't NOT recommend this place, but it was just so-so. The food was good, a little overpriced, as are most things in the remote area of Big Sur, but it filled our bellies and gave us the energy we needed for a few hikes!

We eat breakfast here at least once every time we stay in Big Sur. It's casual, the food is tasty and the service is good. They offer a basic breakfast that is prepared well with nice portions.

If you are in big sur u can recommend the glen oaks motel which is next door to this small very cool restaurant. It is only open for breakfast and lunch. Dinner not served. There is also a grocery store attached to it.
