A Carmel Valley institution! Food is good, not great, and plentiful especially the weekend breakfasts. The bar is a great place to grab a cold one but can get a little rough on weekend nights especially if the 49ers loose. One owner works the front of the house, the other in the office.

I've only ate here once, but I do enjoy having late night drinks here. The staff is fun and friendly. They have a jukebox, get the right crowd in here & it's a blast!

But consistently crowded. It must be all those boots, because it isn't the food. Stick to the burgers.

We LOVED this place! We arrived late at our B & B, so we had no recommendations. We just picked it out of the list of restaurants. I'm so glad we did! Our waitress was awesome! The food was incredible. We both had the spaghetti and meatballs. YUM!!! Delicious! We'll be back if we ever come back to Carmel, which... More
