The best part about this place is the friendly staff. It is a family owned buisiness and the family spirit overflows to the customers making you feel right at home. I am actually writing this review on one of the owners computers which he let me use when I asked if there was any online access. "CHIL...

My husband and I found Smalley's late at night, during a very long drive, returning from vacation. Tired and hungry, we were looking for anything still open. Not only were they open, but crowded with happy customers being waited on by the friendliest staff we've ever encountered. As we soon foun...

Very nice service. Friendly. Staff is always helpful & patient. Bagels are delicious! Fabulous selections. Fresh daily. You can see into the kitchen to see how clean it is. Very popular locally. They have some of the BEST smears for bagels I've ever had anywhere!
My husband and I are Malaysians of Chinese origins, and the Salinas was one of our stops in our month long holiday in California. We enjoyed our meal in the restaurant. The setting of the restaurant brought us back to the old Chinese era with its beautiful paintings and decor. We had the shop specia...
Fabulous sandwiches, fast service and very clean. Very healthy oriented. I actually lose weight eating here. Low fat and low calories. Vegetables in the sandwich are fresh and delicious. Highly recommended.

Outstanding cuts of beef, excellent preparation, memorable experience.
We have dined at Salinas Valley Fish House many times and have never had a bad experience. All of the times we have worn jeans and have never felt under dressed. Their food is fabulous and the service has never been in question. Hopefully those who had a bad experience will give this fine restaur...

I have been to another BBD in the past and was exceptionally pleased. This particular location was very disappointing.The service was less than poor.There was a hair in my sisters' food and the management just shrugged and basically accused her of "planting the hair" more or less. I would never re...

THE BEST place to eat breakfast in Salinas! The servers are all incredibly friendly, they seat you quickly and usually you'll run into at least one person you know there. Great atmosphere, great food, great service! A+
I walked into the place to eat before a movie over at the Maya and I immediately felt underdressed in jeans and a t-shirt. The waitress scowled at me when I ordered fish and chips, and it was a miserable dining experience. I'll never go back.
The Food is fantastic...The service is outstanding and the enviroment may be busy and noisy but it is worth the great artichoke bisque and blackened chicken fetticini!!!!

Great place for ribs and steaks and the pork chop dinner is my favorite. Their BBQ sauce is one of the best that I have ever tasted. Be sure to make reservations because they are busy most of the time. It is not a place to go for a quiet dinner but the food is great.

This is a fanastic restaurant. The menu variety is very large and extends to a very delicous salad bar, from pastas to soups and trip tip sandwhiches. The restaurant is small and at busy times can be quite a line. The value is great and the food is FRESH and tasty. JUST TRY IT!

SLOWEST DRIVE THREW IN TOWM MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AT LEAST 20 MIN. THERE WILL BE 3-4 CARS AHEAD OF YOU AT ALL TIMES. DURING LUNCH YOU CAN COUNT ON 6-7. IF YOU HAVE ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD GO TO SUBWAY AND HAVE AGOOD SANDWITCH!

SERVERS DO NOT APPEAR TO LOOK CLEAN OR WELL GROMMED, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT IF THE PERSON MAKING MY SANDWITCH LOOKS AS IF THEY DIDN'T TAKE A SHOWER LAST NIGHT IT REALLY KILLS YOUR APPITITE. THE RESTURANT IS VERY HOT, AIR IS NOT CIRCULATED WELL SO DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT EATING INSIDE. EAT AT YOU...
