    Cockroach

    Sat down in the back near the kitchen just received waters and when looking at the menu there was a quarter size cockroach right behind us so our party ended up leaving and not wanting to eat here. Disappointed since the reviews and food looked great.

    My experience at Country Rose Cafe was a very mixed one. While the food was fine, there wasn't anything exciting or disappointing with the food, I was more bothered by all of the in-your-face local advertisements. The whole restaurant was screaming "billboard, give us money and we'll put your ad somewhere on the tables or menu." Hence, I took no photos of the menu. Plus the tables, the ads just bothered me and distracted my experience at Country Rose. The service I felt was a bit lacking and none attentive. Perhaps more just not knowing than not caring. Inside the restaurant was fine. Like a classic American diner in what seemed like a good spot in Hollister. If the ads were better placed or removed, my experience would have been better. It just screamed greed to me with all of the ad placements.

    Follow-up review [6/23/25]: I haven't been here in over a year. My prior rating was 4 out of 5. This time it's 3 out of 5. SERVICE: 4 out of 5 AMBIANCE: 3.5 - 4 out of 5. FOOD: Surprisingly, the food is where I noted a quality downshift, from a solid 4 to a weak 3. The bacon was rubbery & tasteless ( compared with the prior tasty, crisp thin strips). They get a gold star for using medium (rather than small) sized eggs. I guess my biggest disappointment were the hash browns, served up as a big lump of overcooked shredded potatoes (as opposed to previous LIGHT, TASTY, & FLUFFY crisp hash browns).

    I love the portions at this restaurant as I had leftovers and left with a happy stomach. The menu is extensive so it was a bit overwhelming on what dish to choose which was not a bad problem to have! I had the corn beef hash and I recommend getting the garlic hash browns with it. We went on a Sunday afternoon which expected to be busy so we waited for about 20 mins. We were lucky enough to find parking right at front but expect to walk to find parking on very busy days. They have outdoor and indoor seating and it's a great brunch place for bigger groups as well. We sat near the kitchen which may not be the best place since I could see all the action in the back kitchen and people taking their quick breaks. Other than that, the food was pretty good and our server made sure we were taken cared of!

    Perfect Rare Ribeye breakfast!

    When they knock the horns off and rustle it to the plate!! Perfect rare ribeye!! Love this place! Awesome service! Total down home country feel! Clean, and visually pleasing atmosphere. #CountryRoseCafe #CountryRoseCafeHollister

My saltmbocca was delicious but a bit over cooked. My side were good but nothing. Special.The dessert menu had several options. My wife choose the crème burle and I a berry cup with grand manure. Both were tasty and the crème burle had a crunchy top and creamy custard. Note they have an extensive wine list including some iconic wines.

White tablecloths, cozy booths, elegant decor, smooth music floating in the background... the whole place has classic old-school steakhouse energy in the best possible way. The bar area was already lively when we arrived around 4:50 p.m., and little by little the dining room filled up too. For a small town, this place was humming. Always a reassuring sign when hungry hikers are making important dinner decisions. Carmen, our server, was absolutely superb. Warm, professional, genuinely friendly, and her recommendations were spot on. The kind of service that quietly elevates the whole evening without making a performance out of it. We shared a ribeye with peppercorn sauce, a pear and prosciutto salad, and a deeply decadent chocolate dessert because apparently our bodies decided we had "earned it" after the trails. Honestly? Fair. The steak was beautifully prepared, flavorful and satisfying. The salad balanced everything nicely, and dessert fully committed to richness without apology. The only small miss for me was the mashed potatoes, which could have used a touch more creaminess. They seemed emotionally reserved. I also had a Manhattan that was expertly crafted, smooth, balanced, and exactly the kind of cocktail you want while sinking into a booth after miles of hiking. We genuinely enjoyed ourselves here. It felt less like dinner and more like a reward ceremony for surviving the trails, the sun, and our knees negotiating every downhill section.

We made same day reservations, showed up and was greeted by a friendly host who brought us to our tablecloth-covered, fresh-flowered table. I enjoyed the casual atmosphere that wanted to feel fancy. Our server Sophia G. was a pure delight. We started with drinks, enjoyed the complimentary bread/warm butter, and paced ourselves for a relaxed dinner. Me: Apricot Orchard. Good flavor, definitely not a strong a drink, drank it almost like it was a juice box. Hubbs: Hazy IPA from a local brewery. For dinner, I ordered the Jerusalem Chicken and seriously, it was perfection! Comforting, hearty boneless chicken breast topped with artichokes, sun dried tomatoes and mushrooms in a wine cream sauce. Every bite was delicious. The accompanying vegetables were flavorful and had a great texture. Oh man, it was so good! Hubby ordered fettucine alfredo with chicken and he was pleased. Chicken had a nice grill to it, pasta not overcooked, plenty of sauce. Just for fun, he ordered a single meatball to try as well and enjoyed it too! Service was great. Atmosphere was relaxed. Food was tasty. Definitely glad we visited Paines! We ordered

By this point in the trip, we were fully committed to our "tapas style everything" philosophy. Why order one entrée each when you can create a tiny feast and slowly steal bites off each other's plates with zero shame? Over the two evenings, we shared the Berry Burrata Salad, Beet & Spinach Salad, cauliflower, Seared Ahi Tuna, Dungeness crab cakes, Angel Hair Pasta with shrimp, and lava cake. The pasta was perfectly al dente, the kind of texture that makes Italians nod approvingly from a distance. The crab cakes were flavorful and satisfying, and the beet salad thankfully avoided the tragic fate of being "healthy but boring." The lava cake was gloriously decadent and absolutely understood its assignment. The ahi tuna was good, though I wished for a bit more flavor to stand up to the wasabi situation happening on the plate. The Berry Burrata Salad was the only dish that felt a little sleepy. The berries seemed more decorative than committed. In a region overflowing with gorgeous local strawberries, I wanted the salad to lean harder into its fruity potential. Cocktail-wise, the pomegranate margarita was refreshing, balanced, and dangerously easy to keep sipping. Service was a mixed bag between the two nights. The first evening, our server gave off strong "this table again?" energy, and we had to remind her about bread. Meanwhile, one of the chefs stopped by to warmly thank us for dining there, which completely shifted the tone and genuinely stood out. Night two was a different experience altogether. Our server was friendly, attentive, and made the evening feel much more relaxed and welcoming. The space itself is lovely, warm, comfortable, with that slightly old-school elegance that makes you want to linger over another drink and pretend you are not in your hiking clothesq
