We skipped breakfast in Morro Bay with Big Sur Bakery specifically in mind as a lunch spot to punctuate our journey along the magnificent coast. As an unseasonably strong fall storm brought sheets of rain and showers of rock, we pressed on. Unfortunately we were the only ones. When at last we sprinted to the roadside cottage we were met... more

If you are looking for good service don't go here our dinner took 2 1/2 hours without any drinks or appetizers. They don't write anything down so our waitress was constantly coming back to ask us to reconfirm our order. The waitress was spacey and nonchalant about the service.The food was very unimpressive, actually it was quite disappointing and the... more

Big Sur Bakery & Restaurant is a welcome restaurant. The unique and eclectic setting is welcoming, the staff is friendly and the food is delicious. Very vegetarian friendly with simple dishes that are fresh, local and delicious. Definitely a must visit on the coast. more

The food is excellent, their wood fired pizzas are amazing. I love that the menu is seasonal, everytime I go down there I get to try something new. The breads they put on the table are amazing and have a unique wood fired taste. Highly recommend this place, it is my new favorite place in Big Sur. more

This place was great. My wife and I went here for dinner and split a very large salad with a great dressing as an appetizer. I had the baked chicken which was very good. My wife had the butternut squash pizza which was FANTASTIC! Probably the best pizza I've ever had! We went to the Big Sur Roadhouse our first... more

As our B&B hostess Melanie had directed, we drove up a dusty, dirt driveway to a Shell station and rustic (going to the restroom involves a trip to a plumbed-in outhouse) Big Sur Bakery & Restaurant for lunch. Given the staff's general unhelpfulness, it wasn't as easy to be seated though it was far from busy. My lunch -- open... more

We were there for dinner in mid-October last Fall. It was the first place we ate during our three days in Big Sur. We were initially seated right by an open door with a wind blowing through to the opposite side of the room. We immediately objected to that, and were moved to a corner that was much better --... more

We stopped in for lunch and the host started to seat us at a small table in the back. We asked if we could have a larger table by the window (seated 4), and he said that was for a larger party but we could have the small table by the window. By the way, IF they had needed to... more

This is an oddball kind of place in Big Sur. They have strange statements on their menu--about "bogus" food allergies, no substitutions and so on. When my husband ordered a meat dish with a side of vegetables, I asked the waitress to put the vegetables on a separate plate so I could taste them (I'm a vegetarian). She said that... more
