Great Food, Even Better Service ! My spouse and I stop and eat here whenever we head North towards the Bay area. We stopped by at 9:30 am on the Saturday (the day before Easter) and the lot was full, the restaurant was packed. We were seated immediately, we ordered our favorites, and as always we received our food quickly from the great staff of this restaurant. Even though the place was packed, the service stayed at the high level we are used to. The difference in this restaurant is that customers are served not just by the server, but by the entire staff comes by to see if you need anything. Amazing food, and an excellent staff. 10 out of 10 is my rating !!! read more

Good, basic food. Well prepared, hot and good service. It's a diner so booths and some counter seating. Bathroom clean! With hot water in the sink. Instead of cold water to wash your hands. Home made green salsa excellent. read more

I finally stumbled across this gem this year which is unfortunate it took me so long to. I always drove by and saw how busy it was but never thought it was a delicious as it is. I've been here 3 times already and they definitely have one of the best turkey clubs ever. The food is made with love, the place is warm & welcoming and the customer service is awesome. read more

This is a not so hidden jem of a restaurant. Amazing food, and an excellent staff. 10/10 French toast. Although I've yet to have anything from here that I don't like! read more

The Louis scramble is tasty and I'd order it again. Friendly service. Filled with locals from Prunedale. The servers seemed to know most people by name. I wish they opened a little earlier, but I'll return when I can. read more

What can I say about this amazing spot? I happened upon it in what I would deem a "happy accident". My car broke down around the corner. I was able to safely get it into the parking lot after some panicking. I came in for coffee and a bite, while waiting for help to arrive. The service was out of this world and the food is phenomenal. I ordered the 101 special burger (with added jalapeños and pepper Jack) and it was so fresh, and seriously fantastic! They were incredibly sweet and empathetic to my situation and I will absolutely be back whenever I am down this way. They greeted almost everyone who came in the door by name. Definitely bringing my family here next time! Thank you so much to the crew at Country Kitchen, for brightening up my otherwise stressful Friday read more

Fantastic eggs Benedict and breakfast burrito! Excellent green salsa too. Dylan (maybe Dillon) served us and was friendly, prompt and positive. Will come back next time we leave Monterey read more

Yum! The service was excellent! Food delicious. Must try the fresh salsa! Family vibes.

Great family owned business. The food is really good. On occasion I go here for a local breakfast. And it's never a disappointment!

Food was SO good and out very quickly. The service was the best my husband, daughter and I have seriously had. Everyone we talked to was so genuinely sweet and we had the most wonderful experience here! We walked out with smiles and full belly's! read more

The servers were knowledgeable, coordinated, and friendly. We sat at the counter with a full view of the kitchen. It was organized chaos in the best way possible. The servers only spoke/understood English, but the cooks and kitchen staff only spoke/understood Spanish. Yet all ran smoothly. The food was delicious. Especially the biscuits and gravy. Brenda made us our own extra strong pop of coffee when we told her we had a long drive back to LA. Next I'm in the area (we drive this route a ton), Country Kitchen will be top on my list of stops. read more

Their salsa is amazing. This place is very quaint and always seems busy when we drove by. We stopped in one day and we are totally addicted to the salsa. The burritos we ordered were so good and the salsa just made them that much better. Y'all need to bottle up the salsa and sell it. I'd buy 10 bottles if I could! read more

1st time eating here..Took my step son here for breakfast!! Was NOT disappointed! We both ordered the chicken fried steak breakfast. The best we both have ever had. The staff and service is excellent and very friendly..coffee is always topped off. Wonderful ambiance, very clean... its like a place you'd go to in Texas!! I highly recommend this place...food is incredible, price is just right! The staff makes you feel warm and welcomed!! read more

This place has the best darn salsa around! I love their breakfast burritos. Their waffles are amazing as well. This little place is always busy, but the customer service never lacks. read more

This is my 1st time here. They do have outside sitting. It's a lovely patio setting with picnic tables that are arranged 6 feet apart. It is covered by a canopy. It was very clean. Inside was also very clean and well organized. The staff was wearing face masks. My waiter was very welcoming and friendly. I asked her for her recommendation and it payed off. I got the breakfasts burrito with ham, sausage, country potatoes and a waffle. Let's just say everything was delicious and prepared in a timely manner. I also got a little container of their salsa. Let's just say WOW!! is a game changer. It's refreshing and it has a mild kick to it. It paired well with my burrito and potatoes. The waffle is a good size had a good crust on the outside and it was soft and delicious on the inside. The waffle comes with butter and syrup. I cant wait to come back and try something else. read more

A classic place in Prunedale that all the locals frequent. I have been going here ever since I can remember. This place is a must try if you are passing by the Prunedale area. Their menu has had a huge upgrade and everything on their menu is delicious. read more

We come here often. They redid their back dining area like a while ago. The food is good with nice portions. Killer biscuits & gravy. Wait staff is friendly and if you go more than once a year they will probably remember you. Weekends are busy, it's right on 101, so sometimes you get to watch a group of bikers roll in. My daughter loves it. read more

Excellent choice for a breakfast or lunch stop on your way! The coffee was great and so was the omelette! Will visit again next time I'm in the area. read more

First off, I have never heard of the city of Prunedale.  With that being said, my husband and I stopped in for lunch in the middle of a long road trip.  This place was as quaint and delightful as you would expect a diner to be in a small town. Service is still outdoors only in this county, but there was plenty of picnic benches with umbrellas set up.  Luckily, the weather was perfect.  The staff was absolutely friendly.  We arrived in a truck and trailer, and there was plenty of room for us to park.  We split the tuna melt and the grilled chicken salad.  Both were delicious options.  We subbed the shredded cheese on the salad for blue cheese crumbles.  The tuna melt was very flavorful and the potato salad was fantastic.  I even got to enjoy some white zinfandel.  If we ever for some reason need to pass through Prunedale again, we will definitely stop in for another yummy meal and friendly experience. read more

No frills, great price point, good portion size. The staff was friendly and attentive.

Great food and great service! We've been coming for years! Love the breakfast, but everything is yummy!

This place is absolutely average. The food is decent. The servers are reasonably friendly. There's absolutely nothing remarkable, either great or awful, about it. You will get fed. That's it. read more

Consistently good food and amazing service. Friendly neighborhood place. Good value for the price.

It's like Denny's but better. I kept seeing French toast passing by my head and I wanted it so bad!!! The ambiance is casual, staff is super friendly. Everyone is cheerful, they must treat their employees really well. The coffee was always flowing :) zero complaints! I don't eat meat so finding the California eggs Benedict was a nice treat. I'm sure you could add meat if you wanted to. The hash browns are on point!! Nice and crispy!! They offer homemade salsa and that was a real treat!! It's spicy, loved it! read more

Food and coffee were terrible. Service was great. Food was extremely bland. Coffee was like lighter fluid. If you want to fill your belly for cheap then this is fine, if you care how food tastes try somewhere else. read more

Alright so went for breakfast as we usually do. You can seat yourself and they will bring you a menu. There is a front seating area and back. Staff is friendly. I've gotten the country fried steak, not bad. Nice gravy. Just recently got the waffle with a side of bacon. Tasty. The staff checked with me about the slightly more toasted waffle. It wasn't golden but a bit more darker. I was totally okay with that, but they said if I didn't like the taste they would re make it. Add the butter, syrup and a piece of bacon and you're set. I enjoyed it. It was a bit more dense than I was expecting but still tasty. Last time I came I got the burger. I probably would not get that again. The patty was so thin, it was overcooked and dry. I just wasn't happy with that, no amount of bbq sauce could have fixed that. I think I will stick to breakfast. Oh and they are on top of it unlike other restaurants. If they are running low or out of something, they talk to the customers and rush to the closest market to replenish. Satisfaction. read more

I will say, since the first issue that I had the restaurant side of this establishment had given me no issues with my service animal. In fact he is a cherished member of the family when he's brought along. We have since moved from the area but I wanted to correct my review and say the food side and the staff on this side are fantastic. Thank you! read more

Woke up on Sunday not feeling too good. Stayed home from church but really wanted pancakes. I wanted to try a new place and friend on Facebook recommended Country Kitchen. First when you walk in, you feel like you for sure in a country kitchen. It is the place that everyone seems to know each other and the staff new many of their customers by name. Our servers were so amazing..never wanted for anything. My coffee cup was never less than half way. Yummy: -Country fried steak and eggs. It was all so good. The outside of the chicken fried steak was crispy and the inside was tender and juicy. Super smart how the steak was served over the gravy so the outside stayed crisp. I asked for the hashbrowns to be crispy and they were perfect. -Biscuits and gravy- The biscuits were so buttery, soft and fresh topped with the sausage gravy. Lots of chunks of sausage and they don't skimp on the serving. -Pancake- This is what we came to try. SO good. Taste like homemade. The best part is the syrup is served warm I want to go back and try the blueberry. -Hamburger steak with eggs, hashbrowns and gravy, So good!! My hubby ate it all up. The burger was super tender and again they did not skimp on the gravy. My hubby, being Hawaiian, was only missing steamed rice to make it a loco moco. LOL So happy to have found a new breakfast place. We tried going tonight for dinner but was sad they were not open. That is OK though...we will for sure be back for more. read more

We stopped here quick after a beach trip because we were hungry. It was 10 minutes before they closed. We sat out on the picnic benches with nice Umbrellas. It did not bother them one bit that we showed up close to closing time. We still received good hot quality food. Our food was very good for the price. Quality food quick. Thank you!!! We will be back!! read more

We stop here on the way to or out of Monterey. The food is consistent and tastes delicious. Great comfort food on the road :)

My husband and I were going on a road trip and looked up breakfast places in the area. We came upon this cute little diner and loved it! The decor was perfect for the name. Very quaint country like setting with a sliding barn type door with a shovel for a handle. The comfort food breakfast was very very good. Our waitress,Deblyn, was very attentive and made wonderful suggestions. I ordered the linguiça and eggs over medium and the eggs are cooked to perfection. I asked what their specialty was and Deblyn told us about the biscuits with a three meat gravy. It was so so good. You know food is good when you are full but you don't want to stop eating. I rate this place a strong 5 for a cute setting, good food, and great customer service. read more
