We went to the American Legion in Salinas for a Mother's day brunch. It was good but falsely…read moreadvertised. They advertised Mother's eat free, we didn't. They asked us if we were members, no, only members eat for free. Ok can we become members today, yes but still have to pay full price, ugh...ok. Filled out the form, oh not going to do it today come back during the week. Ok discouraging. The brunch was still good. It came with scrambled eggs, sausage or bacon, biscuits and gravy, a potato paddy, watermelon, homemade salsa, cake and coffee. Also with free mimosas, Orange juice or cran raspberry juice. I got a cran raspberry mimosa, it was good. We sat at a table by ourselves and no one ever talked to us. The bingo was a better experience, they were welcoming on our first time there but a little pushy when it came to buying cards for bingo. We really only wanted the early bird specials because we didn't want to be there all day but were told in order to get those we had to purchase regular bingo too, so it cost 2 of us 20.00 each instead of 5.00 each for early bird for a total of 50.00. I dont know if this is the standard for bingo as it was our first and last time there for bingo. Bingo was organized well. The Chili Verde burritos were good, small but tasty. They also had Nachos, hot dogs and pastries for sale. People talked to us so that was nice. You need to get here early as their parking lot fills up fast.

Might be the best BBQ I've tasted. And I've been all over the states to Kansas City, North Carolina, Texas, Virginia, and Louisiana (where I may have ridden a mechanical bull.) I ordered the tri-tip sandwich ($19). It comes on house made garlic bread. The tri-tip was perfectly smoked and moist and the sweet Kansas City style sauce is perfect. The side of Mac and cheese with bacon and jalapeños was awesome: My wife got the three meat combo ($37) of sausage, tri-tip and chicken. Sausage was perfectly cooked and spicy and the chicken is moist and flavorful. Prices aren't cheap here. Ended up paying $90 with tax and tip and drinks for two but it was worth it. Their co-owner Nick who greeted us like old friends said they've been around for the past six years and here's hoping for another sixty. We'll be sure to be back for more our next trip down 101.
