    I love this Denny's because of it's location. When driving to the beach we can stop here before we get on the 46. It breaks up the trip and gives us a delicious break. The food is great and the service is friendly.

    We stopped here twice now as it has a Tesla charger right outside. It's convenient to dine in while the car is getting charged. A strong wave of stale musty odor hits you as soon as you walk in through the doors, you will eventually get used to it but it's uncomfortable. They need to air out the space a bit more. Food can get very heavy due to excess usage of butter and cheese. They can try to lighten it up a bit more. My veggie omlette came with a piece of bacon this time. They assured me it might be a one off case of cross contamination.

    I was on my way to Salinas and I stopped here for breakfast. The server/hostess greeted me warmly and I ordered my breakfast. It was basic, but the eggs were scrambled with cheese. The restaurant was clean and everyone was attentive and professional. I read the one star comments while I was waiting for my meal. I'm not gonna lie, I got scared. My experience was top tier, highly recommend. Note: the server will bring your check, but you go and pay at the counter. The bathroom could have used a little TLC, but it had all the things you needed. It was fine.

    Still Denny's, but the best 9-grain pancakes EVER!!! These things were tasty. We had pulled over to charge on the Tesla Supercharger out front. BTW, I'm not a big fan of EVs just yet; however, given the opportunity to test drive one instead of renting a gas burner, I jumped on it because we are currently searching for our next ride. Just about the time we had finished sharing our Hearty 9-Grain Pancake Slam, our car was charged up for the next short-ranged Tesla leg. Now you know one reason why I'm not yet a fan of electric vehicles (EV). Dennys is still Denny's. Works when you need it to. This time I needed it because it was next to an unpredictable (problem #2 with EVs) Tesla Supercharger location used throughout this 1000 mile trip. Dicks

    Worst place to eat . Bad food . Employees had very bad attitude . Very bad service , Not clean

    Front parking lot with Tesla charging stations
    Marcus S.

    The good think is it is right off the freeway so your in and out. They have Tesla charging stations in the parking lot which makes it very convenient if your in a Tesla. The food is basic dennys but i will say the prices are a little bit higher than the Bay Area i guess because the location. Service was fast and clean restaurant lobby and dining area.

    Covered up chewed whole sirloin has a fly over it

    I went in not expecting much because of the reviews but I did not expect enough. I ordered a medium rare sirloin and I could not for the life of me eat it. Not a single piece of the sirloin made it down to my stomach I chewed and chewed until I just couldn't take it. I ordered it with fries and they were cold. Not only that when I was finishing my food there were flies in it

    We were on our way to SoCal and wanted to try out a new restaurant on our way down from the Bay…read moreArea. Originally, we had planned on dining at Harris Ranch but after checking out their menu, I was not impressed by the choices as we would be limited to order from their breakfast menu at the time of arriving at the restaurant, and it was not an impressive selection. We quickly pivoted and came across Willow Ranch and were very excited to try so many of their dishes. We walked into the coziest little restaurant that just gives you that small town feel. Real homey and we were instantly greeted warmly by the gal at the front. She asked if we wanted to sit at the corner booth, which we gladly accepted. She took our drink order, gave us menus and let us know our server would be over shortly. Our server Destiny came over a little while later, but my son was still undecided since there was so much deliciousness to choose from, he couldn't make up his mind (it was difficult for all of us, TBH!); Destiny had to give us more time, and come back a little later. He finally settled on the Tri-tip dinner, and oh my goodness... what a fine choice he made! It was sooo tender, and melted in your mouth as soon as it hit your tongue! Wow! I don't know if I've ever had tri-tip that tender before! It was served with a fresh side salad with Italian dressing, steamed veggies, a buttered roll, and baked beans. Any time I see anything close to resembling a French Dip, I have to try it. I had the Willow Dip, which was delicious! Hot and savory served on a toasted onion bun, and a yummy au jus to dip! A close cousin to the French Dip. I substituted my side for onion rings and they had a great crunch too. My other son had the sampler platter that included chicken strips, buffalo wings, onion rings and mozzerrella sticks but asked his chicken strips be subbed for all buffalo wings, and Destiny was so sweet and accomodating. My daughter ordered the Philly Cheesesteak with french fries and they were both to kill for!Sooo so good!! Literally like a slice of heaven that Philly Cheesesteak! It may have been my favorite of all the food we had today! My husband ordered the Plow Boy and it was loaded with meat and really tasty! We were so stuffed, we could not finish it all! We are definitely coming back here on our way back home, we still have so much more to try... the Ranch Benedict, the Chicken Fried Steak, the Ribeye steak! The staff is amazing! Hats off to your chefs! This restaurant is stellar! Will be making this a must visit on our annual SoCal trips!

One gets a generous portion and the sandwich was big enough for my husband and I to share with a side of tasty sweet potatoe fries (a bit extra - or you can get plain potato fries for no extra charge). We also got a side of the creamy coleslaw which is ok and even better if you add salt and a dash of malt vinegar (it needs acid imo). I didn't take a photo of the sandwich because so many other yelpers have already done so. But trust me it's worth the stop. Service is super warm and friendly, the place is spotlessly clean, and I am a fan. We liked the sandwich so much we ordered another to go for lunch the next day. I only wish I had room for pie! They offer a wide selection of pies and I've gotta think they are yummy too. Next time.

I found this place and we had like 40 minutes to get there before they closed. As we started to drive there we were wondering if the GPS was taking us on a wild ride because we ended up driving on some rural roads and thought, there's no way there's a restaurant back here but a few minutes later we arrived to a cute rustic looking caboose looking café. The interior was authentic and rustic and even smelled like real food being cooked on a griddle smell. Our waitress came right over and welcomed us to sit wherever we want to. Their menu was homemade country filled items. I ordered the Club Sandwich which was their daily special and I went with their potatoe salad which is something I don't like to order because it's one of those items that I'm never really sure if its going to be homemade or store bought. My husband went with the cheeseburger and fries. It didn't take long for our meal to arrive. I loved how the plates didn't match, just like at home lol, and the potato salad was homemade and it was good. My Club Sandwich was good and the vegetables were California fresh. My husband said his cheeseburger was cooked right and tasted like it was cooked on a seasoned grill. I definitely know if when we are back in the area, we definitely will be coming back to this little spot.

You can't miss the huge "Coffee" sign visible from the highway. We recently had to drive said route and decided to finally visit. And we were happy we did.

The drive out was lovely, with lots of yellow broom blooming on the hills. We passed the Firefighter Monument that my husband tends that commemorates the firefighters killed in the Spanish Ranch fire, and checked out the growth of some oak trees around it. We pulled in for an early lunch at the Buckhorn and got a nice booth near a window. We were waited on immediately and provided water and a new menu with more of an emphasis on breakfast dishes. It was early lunch for us, and I ordered my favorite "Breakfast Salad," a Cobb salad, which has bacon and egg in it. My husband got the pulled pork sandwich, a specialty of the place. There was a delay getting the wine menu, and my first choice had run out, so I tried a white that was close to a Sauvignon Blanc from a local vineyard. I had spied some very authentic looking apple pie coming in, and we ordered a slice for desert. It came with a couple of scoops of creamy ice cream, and had a sure-enough baked through crust with juicy, cinnamony apples inside! On the way to the car, we noticed a local rancher "branding" the building, by pushing his heated up brand into the front wall of the restaurant where many other brands appeared. The paint smoked a bit, and when he was done, a spade appeared on the facade, "Spade Ranch," he told me, literally making his brand relevant to the cafe! We reveled in the beauty of the ride back, appreciated out step back in time into the history of this beautiful valley.
