This little restaurant has lots of potential. The food was average and a little overpriced, ($12 for a hamburger, $10 for a chili dog)but the atmosphere could have made up for it if the service had been even marginal. The staff acted like we were bothering them simply by walking in the door. The girl that took the order continually... more

If you like grease-in-a-bun for 12 dollars then step right up. If you like good quality food then do not come here. This place is gross and the webpage for this restaurant is fooling you. Spend your money elsewhere. The only good thing about this place is the beautiful scenery on the patio so if you want to eat out... more

We were in Big Sur last Fall, for three nights. There are some really good (and expensive) restaurants in the area, as you may already be aware. After two nights of these places (both very good), we decided that our appetites and wallet needed something lower on the scale. We found, however, that there just aren't any (or almost no)... more

$5 for about half a pint of beer in a plastic cup? terrible food? is this a pub or a sports stadium? The ($12) burgers - cheap patties, cheap bread, then after we are 'served', we need to go back to the counter to fish a soggy lettuce leaf and piece of tomato out of a plastic tupperware to add.... more

My girlfriend and I stopped here simply because it was one of the cheapest options on the very expensive big sur coast drive. We had 2 soy cap's which were more like Latte's, but we enjoyed them a lot (this was from the grocery section of the shops) They were not to badly priced at just a little more than... more

Actually, I'd rank this between Terrible and barely Okay, but that choice wasn't available. Having to choose, I went with Terrible for the following reasons. After reading the reviews here and looking over their website I made sure to visit the Redwood Grill when I was in the Big Sur area. Having visited their website I knew to expect prices... more

the caesar wrap with house smoke salmon is simply delicious. tangy, salty, & smokey... a bouncy chord progression if you can imagine. the place itself is gorgeous, it's right by the fernwood campgrounds. the outside deck by the bar is the place to be... bliss is to be found there... plus plenty of smoke, and foamy guinness mustaches! more

What a great place this was! walk up to the counter, select from a variety of soups, salads, sandwiches, too many to name. We split a tri tip sandwich on yummy, fresh bread. Served with fries, this was an ample bite to tide us over before dinner. While the Nepenthe is more of a touristy place with amazing views, this... more
