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 YOUR...
This place is so good! The owner is such an awesome guy! People are treated like family. Its a nice decent atmosphere. Really great tasting food. I am never disapointed. My daughter loves the artichoke tomato bisque soup! I feel at home when I go there. The servers are very well mannered and move qu...
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!
This place has the best bagels in Cali!
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!
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 rec...

This is your average Chinese restaurant. Two or maybe 2.5 starts out of five. The dim sun tastes like it is a few days old and reheated. there is a concern about the grease and salt content in many of their foods. I do not recommend their dim sum of sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf. It taste...
I LOVE THIS RESTURANT. AS A LOCAL HERE WE EAT AT THIS PLASE AT LEAST TWICE A MONTH FOR BREAKFAST OR LUNCH. YOU WALK IN AND THEY REMEMBER YOU AND YOU ARE SEATED A.S.A.P DEFINITLY A FAVORITE
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+
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!!!!
Outstanding cuts of beef, excellent preparation, memorable experience.
THIS RESTURANT WAS VERY SLOW AND NOT VERY FRIENDLY IT SEEMED TO ME THAT THEY ACTED AS IF WE SHOULD BE PRIVLEDGED TO BE THERE. THERE CHILDRENS MENU WAS NON-EXSISTANT AND THEY WERE NOT AT ALL ACCOMIDATING TO CHILDREN WE WERE THERE FOR 2.5 HOURS THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE. I WILL NEVER EAT THERE AGAIN
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.
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...
We had very good dinners! Very fresh fish, wonderful clam chowder,good sized fresh salad, perfectly steamed broccoli, delicious french fries, and great sour french bread. It is a no frills place....just tasty and very fresh tasting food!!!!
GREAT PLACE TO GO FOR OLD FASHTIONED BBQ FOOD, THE CHILDREN MENU IS LIMITED TO BBQ ONLY SO IF YOU HAVE A TODDLER WHO WANT GRILLED CHEESE OR CHICKEN & FRIES YOUR NOT GONNA GET IT.
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 place is delicious, if you like bbq its great my children love it here.....
Its the best B.B.Q resturant in Monterey County
