A well loved local brunch spot for good reason! You may have to wait on a weekend but it's worth it. The food in general is good, but they do all things carby/baked amazingly. They had orange poppy seed pancakes the day I went and I'm daydreaming of them as I write this, so very delicious, fluffy, and flavorful. Service was also lovely and the ambiance is homey and welcoming. Portion sizes are very good and price points are fair. Well worth the drive to Watsonville and the wait! read more

Cowboy's Corner Cafe - Half portion omelette, muffin, biscuits - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Watsonville, California

We were really blown away by how amazing Cowboy's Corner Cafe was. Definitely the best diner food we've had in the area, and it wasn't close. We had a decently large group, ~6 people, and it took just over 30 minutes for us to be seated, which was totally fine! The food itself was incredible; the french toast, the pancakes, the eggs, bacon, omelettes, and toast, all wonderful across the board. Absolutely no complaints, will be regulars for life! read more

Country style homie restaurant that knows how to do breakfast! This time I got to go to celebrate my uncles birthday! L e the small town feel of this place and the serves that remember your face even though it has been a year since you been there. The home fries are always a fav of mine. But you really can't go wrong with your choice! I also love that the muffin of the day! read more

Classic diner. We caught breakfast here before going to a sporting event they make their own jam which is to die for. Everyone is super nice. We got chicken fried steak and eggs which was crispy and a nice large serving. We also got pancakes which were fluffy and light. read more

Good food - full flavored without being overly seasoned or salty. The theme is Cowboy and they do it right! The service is fast and friendly. read more

The food here is decent traditional breakfast food. I had the steak and eggs which were cooked well and tasted good. Solid portion size and everything came out hot. I also tried the french toast but was not a fan. It was pretty plain and lacked any real flavor. I was hoping for something a little more rich or sweet but it just did not deliver. Service was decent. Nothing exceptional but they got the job done and the staff was polite. read more

Updating my review it's been awhile since we've been here and it's not as good as I remember. The portions are smaller and I was disappointed in my biscuits and gravy. The biscuits were small, they weren't the same giant fluffy biscuits as before and the gravy lacked flavor. Our service was great, especially considering my fussy toddler which she catered to with a fruit plate to soothe him. That was much appreciated. 4 star's for service not the food which was mediocre. read more

Cowboy's Corner, Beach Street Café and The Fish House are three restaurant hidden gems in Watsonville. Cowboy's and Beach Street are great for breakfast and lunch. The Fish House is great for dinner. Their seafood pasta dishes are fantastic. read more

Loved this place for breakfast. I ordered "The Wagon" and highly recommend it -- I'd order it again in a heartbeat. The server was great and suggested a few additions that took it over the top. It was unsolicited, thoughtful, and definitely appreciated. I added diced bacon over the eggs and salsa, and swapped the side to half home fries and half black beans instead of all black beans. The atmosphere was great, the staff was attentive and welcoming, and the food was absolutely delicious. read more

Where do I begin?! The sweet food aromas enticed my appetite from outside. The place was packed. Thankfully we were offered a seat at the counter. The country decor was so cozy. The kitchen was kicking the food out so quickly. The wait staff picked it up as soon as it hit the pick up counter. We were in awe of how delicious everything looked. They had a huge hot tea collection to choose from, I chose Chai tea. Yum!! My husband and I both chose the chicken fried steak with country potatoes. The tasty flavored and crispy crust of the steak was fantastic. The gravy was so flavorful. My honey had the house blueberry muffins with his breakfast in lieu of regular toast. Best choice ever!! The owners and entire staff were so friendly. Looking around the restaurant, you can see the complete approval on the patrons faces. Juan jr mentioned they were experiencing a lil craziness due to a new POS system. I let him know we hadn't noticed. I would have to say that's all because the staff was wonderful. Lots of support to one another. We have already made breakfast plans for the following Saturday with our great friends to return. This place will surely be put on our list to fill up our bellies!! Highly recommend. read more

We had to come from San Jose to this little town and decided to find somewhere to eat. Cowboy Corner Cafe had great reviews so we decided to try it out.

Will be back. read more

First time here at the restaurant. Got seated right away and they gave us water and coffee within minutes . One of the fastest service I have ever receive. The waiter provided great recommendations on their special and I got the salmon special while my friend got a chicken steak breakfast. This is a very cozy and warm place with simple decor.

First timer! The place was packed! We waited a little before getting seats at the counter. They had cute little pumpkins on the table. I think the owner was our server and she was so sweet, super nice and attentive. I was craving clam chowder and they had it on the menu, so I got a bowl. It was huge! It was a traditional New England clam chowder. What set it apart was their homemade salsa/hot sauce. I love how almost every place in Watsonville has their own secret, family salsa on the table. Hubby got the chicken-fried steak and orange-chocolate muffin. This place is popular for a reason! Good, home-style food, lovely service. Definitely worth the wait. read more

We stopped here from leaving Monterey and the food was great! The muffins are made from scratch and we're really good! Jacky was our waitress and was perfect! It was a Saturday around 10am so it was busy, but they called us when our name came up. Would definitely come back! read more

Wonderful food and even better service! It is our go-to place whenever we visit Vatsonville!

My sister has been telling me to come here for a while now and since I was finally in town I got a chance to check it out. I called an hour ahead to see the wait and they didn't have any so I thought we might get lucky. We got there and the lady took my name and number of people and we waited 7-10 minutes. We got seated and we asked for coffee and water. I ordered the hot cake combo and was excited to eat! Everything came out in a timely manner and we scarfed down our food. My eggs were delicious, bacon was ok (cooked fine but not much flavor), pancakes were delicious and HUGE! I only ate one of them. Coffee was not strong and did not have a bold flavor but I did get a refill and ate it with my meal. This is all based on my preferences. We finished our meal and paid and we were on our way. The space is a small quaint area. It was very busy for a Tuesday morning. People were coming and going. Staff was all over the place. Coffee refills were happening. While the tables are adjusted to use up the space you don't feel crowded. Which is a plus. Cowboy era theme. Clean bathrooms. Cool spot in Watsonville. I look forward to coming back with my family and sister! read more

Food was good, for the most part. The potatoes were wicked burnt and unfortunately not that warm. The omelet was good and the coffee was as well. Service was on top of it and we waited for nothing. Restaurant is clean and they take their cowboy seriously. If you aren't a country music fan, you'll be disappointed. read more

My favorite breakfast place in the world. This is the type of place that anything that you order is going to be super delicious. The owner and her son are super nice. Their service is just incredible. They are always making sure if you need anything. I highly recommend to order their Pajaro Scrambles. This is my favorite option in their menu, and my boyfriend also loves this one. Their ambiance isn't fancy but is super cozy and comfortable. They are always busy, so don't worry if you'll need to wait to get a table, it's going to be worth, since you're going to have probably the best breakfast of your life. I was talking to a friend other day and she said that she went to a breakfast place that was her best food/experience so far. She just loved it. She didn't remember the name of the place and I asked her, "Are you talking about Cowboys Corner?", and yes, she went to Cowboys Corner for her first time. Thank you for everyone who is part of team of this amazing place for making my mornings so happy every time that I go there! read more

I Love this place. Food is always good. Have to come early to beat the crowds. But the customer service is always great.

Great service! Friendly! Clean and love the atmosphere. We had the skirt steak and eggs and the sausage patty and eggs. Everything was cooked to perfection. Fresh fruit substitute was a great mix and truly fresh. Thank you read more

No fuss, classic breakfast place. Affordable pricing, prompt service. We got Spanish omelette (definitely recommend it- onions, peppers are incorporated into eggs while making omelette which makes it even more tasty). All omelettes, french toasts, pancakes are all freshly made. Try biscuits and gravy or chicken fried steak if you are feeling indulgent. Always consistent with quality food. Only negative- Sausages tend to be on the drier side. read more

First time here doubt I'd come back. Ordered my eggs broken and over medium got runny barely over easy. Ordered crisp hash browns got raw potatoes. Service was only fair, they didn't like I sent my eggs back and they came the second time still runny. Now rest of food cold. Sausage gravy had no sausage. Mostly just gooey. Overall, disappointing. read more

Walked in and the place was completely packed, took 10 minutes to get seated and 10 minutes to get our order taken. The Denver omelette was tasty and flavorful unlike the blueberry pancakes. The pancakes had no flavor but were fluffy. Biscuits and gravy were delicious aswell! My last complaint is the watered down coffee, other than that this place is pretty good! read more

Met up with family here for breakfast on a Sunday. I've never been here but heard so much about this place. There were many choices that we talked about meeting up for breakfast, our family who is local to this place said it's a must for breakfast. Place was packed for an early Sunday morning. Usually means this place is great. After the wait we were seated, 6 of us. The person ( a male) taking our order was magnificent and friendly. The service was below average with empty coffee cups. Food was average to below average. Salty as hell. Potatoes- small and burnt. Portions average. Prices about $18 on average per order without drink. And they will automatically charge you a 20% for a tip if over 3 people. Check your bill!! Don't tip twice!! They will not indicate the prices of the items that you purchased on your total bill!! This place is family owned, therefore I'll give them a couple of stars for that. All in all- way overrated. Certainly not worth the hype. If you live nearby, great. But I'd drive to a different place for breakfast if I could next time. Most of all- (( Check your bill )) Thank you for taking the time to read this. read more

Seeing the awesome reviews online and then driving up to the restaurant and it appearing busy made us glad we picked this place to eat considering we were super hungry. The wait was not long considering we were willing to sit at the bar. I believe our waitress was the owner and if I'm mistaken either way the service was amazing. Our waitress was super kind, the ambiance was great and the food was amazing! We tried the house made salsa and OMG. I'm more of a green salsa girl but I'm not going to lie after this experience I've been into red salsa alot more. Overall, everything was great and when we are back in town we will definitely stop by! :) read more

We came back to see Paula (Hi Paula!) however she was in Mexico on a well-deserved vacation with Juan Sr. Juan Jr. waited on us and it was good to see him working hard while his parents were away! We split the made-from-scratch chicken fried steak with a homemade blueberry muffin made by Juan Jr. It was plenty and excellent! I am trying to convince the family to open one in or near Sacramento! Always great service and always clean! If you are in Monterey or Santa Cruz, it's definitely worth the drive! read more

The cowboy cafe is a very solid breakfast diner. If you go after 10 am on weekends, expect a wait. This spot is everything breakfast should be. I love that they have an option of hash browns or breakfast potatoes. The bacon was delicious and crispy. I always get excited about a house made salsa or hot sauce and I honestly didn't love this one but they had other options too. The servers were all friendly and accommodating. The restaurant felt clean and efficient. read more
