We wanted to get out of the car for lunch, but are glad to see a drive through option if needed another time we are passing through.

The staff was friendly and the food was great. We'll be back!

Del Rosa Deli is a Salinas staple and has been for many decades. Their sandwiches are delicious and…read moreeasily some of the best in town -- definitely top three deli sandwiches in the City of Salinas in my opinion. It's a go-to spot for a lot of farmers and people who work in the ag industry, and the location is easy to access. The drive-through also makes it very convenient, especially when you're trying to grab something quick during the day. The only downside is that they close early, I believe around 4, so you have to plan ahead. Overall, a solid four stars. Sorry, I forgot to take a picture this time, but I'll take one next time and update the review.

Every time we drive home from Monterey, I always see the big red Yelp sign that reads best BBQ…read more That sign did its' job and it got me intrigued and grabbed my attention. We finally got the chance to check it out. We arrived on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. The Prunedale Market is located along side the highway 101 freeway in the small town of Prunedale. It just takes a few long right turns to get there. Parking is easy and accessible out in the front parking lot. From the front, the market does not look like a popular BBQ spot. It looks like a simple small market store to grab quick snacks and drinks. Once inside there is a BBQ and deli section to your right. A small dining area is to your left. The decor is old fashioned and quaint. The 2 gentlemen greet you with friendly hospitality. We ordered the Tri tip sandwich, half slab of ribs which includes 2 potatoes and a cup of corn chowder. The pit master/owner Martin, who use to work for Original Joe's, was kind enough to also include a quarter chicken leg, a sausage, and extra ribs. It was so much food for our party of 3. Everything was delicious and hearty. The Tri tip sandwich was scrumptious with the flaming Fritos adding a nice crunchy texture and kick with every bite. The ribs were juicy and smokey. Potatoes complemented very well with the rest of the meat and chicken. Corn chowder was so tasty and creamy. I did not know corn chowder was that good. Overall we enjoyed our experience at the Prunedale Market. The staff were super nice and accommodating. They even offered for our son to grab some free ice cream to go. We politely declined. The prices were very reasonable. All that food fed us for the next 2 days. Lol. We hope to be back when we are in the area with other friends and family.

We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend Gabe's for any party or special event!

I should have asked for hot sauce because while the shrimp taco had a little kick the fish didn't. But they were pretty tasty. The three were $15 and that's a little pricey but they are a good size. The fries were good too, about what you'd get at a fast casual restaurant. The staff were friendly and I got my food pretty quickly. They're in the parking lot of the Country Kitchen so it's easy to find parking. They' give you a beeper so you can sit in your car to wait if the weather is poor, or just if you want to sit.

The reviews at this place are so intensely different (best place ever to worst place ever) I knew I…read morewanted to write one after I visiting. We ate there on a Sunday afternoon in July. We ordered the rotisserie chicken, fries, grilled artichoke appetizer, and the garlic bread. Everyone at the table liked the artichoke dish (except me but I'm not a huge artichoke fan). I appreciated the garnish on that dish as it was a few salad greens and tomatoes with some balsamic vinegar splashed on it (so I ate a tiny tiny side salad). I actually enjoyed the flavor of the chicken as well. Though my husband did comment it tasted a bit dry, I didn't think it was so bad. I wanted to get another chicken to go for dinner. The fries were well made, and I enjoyed the garlic bread (thinner crusty bread, flavorful without being overly garlicky). The ambiance of the place was ok. We were the only people eating there the entire time (a bit concerning as it was Sunday noon- but the whole surrounding "town" was a little dead). We decided to go here as an incentive for my younger child to eat in a trolley car. So to clarify a part of the restaurant (the front) is shaped like a trolley car and the lighting on the ceiling makes it look a bit like you're in a trolley. Everything else about the place was just a restaurant, which made for a much more comfortable eating environment but not quite what I was thinking (I was thinking like dad's luncheonette in half moon bay). However, I was able to appease my adorable monster toddler overlord by walking him around outside a few times and telling him it was a trolley to appease him. The service was ok, and got better after we paid (likely a nice tip was provided). When we entered there wasn't much help or enthusiasm in our arrival. For example, I was shown where the high chairs were and told to retrieve it myself. Not rude, but just so-so. Place was very clean though and the guy behind the grill was very friendly. Overall this place worked out for us as a no-frills quick stop to fill you up with no wait/no lines for a lunch traveling between Carmel/monterey back to San Jose.

Thank you so much for staying out hustling even tho it's so cold and dark outside !!!! Kudos to you guys ' Got a bacon wrapped hot dog! Perfect temp that was ready for chow down' with fresh tomatoes that actually worked really well, relish, ketchup, and mayo and my bf got the same thing but with raw onions and Serrano peppers lol too spicy for Me. But soooo goooooood!!!!! Also, very nice in LA you get your typical buy and go trucks and not much after that. But here they were open to convo and even let us go to our car and finish our first dog because they knew we were coming for seconds! That way it wouldn't get cold while we eat our first one. I myself didn't even think about that. So thoughtful. LA people wouldn't be trusting enough lol. Hope you guys come here first before getting anything else like other hot dog or burger etc. come here and get your fix you'll get full after your first one. Just my bf and I eat a lot lol.

It's a huge farmers market-style event with just about everything you can think of, and it's always such a good time. I decided to stop by this barbecue spot because it immediately caught my eye. I'm all about my chicken legs, so I ordered the chicken legs with mac & cheese, greens, and cornbread. Another cool thing was seeing a father-son duo running the place, and being serviced by the young man himself--who is clearly putting his foot in this food--was pretty cool. The greens were moist and salty--just the way they're supposed to be. The chicken was melting in my mouth and falling right off the bone. Now, I'm a very picky mac & cheese girl, so discovering that theirs was actually pretty good was a nice surprise. I'm so happy to have found this needle in a haystack because there were so many options, and I'm glad I chose this one.

He also would crack jokes with customers, and I appreciate that. The restaurant is located where the old fish house was next to CVS on the south side. Has some old school decor but the chairs and tables are sturdy and that's what matters to me. Plus I love a collection of decor. We started with drink. My husband got the watermelon agua fresca and I had water. The agua fresca took awhile to come out but it was so worth it. Fresh and tasty! We got the Thai spicy cauliflower, chicken wings, Tom Kah Gai soup, and Thai house fried rice. Let me just say: everything was delicious! The soup knocked it out of the park for me while my husband fully enjoyed the chicken wings. Everything had great flavor! I highly recommend this place if you never been or on the fence of going. It was definitely worth the visit!
