Great local place. Walked in and it was empty on a Tuesday morning. I mightve been the 1st customer. I ended up getting the fried steak and coffee. I was very satisfied with the portion and the potatoes that came with it were delicious. Coffee was coffee. read more

In town from Ceres. This was the first option that came up on Google when we searched for breakfast spots in town. The people are amazing and have a very welcoming atmosphere. The service is perfect, just plain on point. Can't wait to come back! read more

We went on a weekend getaway and we love to eat at local spots. This place hits the spot for breakfast not only did we go there on Sunday but it was so delicious that we decided to go back on Monday before we headed out. When you walk in there you feel the ambiance of the regulars and the staff. The staff is super friendly and it just feels like home. I encourage you to try Grandma's Kitchen. read more

Grandmas Kitchen - Waffles with strawberries, bacon, side of hash browns, and strawberry French toast - American Near Me - Monterey, California

No-nonsense, homestyle cooking that handily satisfies your craving for carb-o-licious breakfast and lunch fare. Corned beef hash, huevos rancheros, pancakes, eggs and sausage, omelettes and steak and eggs and quite a bit more on their extensive menu. Fruit seemed to be a garnish on top of pancakes - and that's ok. Somewhat rundown at the heels with homey decor that includes an odd owl theme, you'll find warm service, quickly executed plates and delicious comfort food. Try the breakfast burrito, it was really amazing and juicy though I can't remember all the ingredients. The flavor was magically delicious especially with a dollop of homemade salsa. My little boy had the pine nut and blueberry pancakes (ingredients inside the pancake) and pronounced it "awesome". (Sorry, he ate it too fast for me to weigh in, must've been good). Apparently this spot gets a line out the door but off season on a weekday morning, we were immediately seated. Worth a stop, especially if you're hungry and want down home cooking with pleasant service. read more

Grandma's kitchen is just a small place in Monterey California. They have really good breakfast and sandwiches and burgers. Lots of old fashioned booths and good home style cooking. My husband got a club sandwich with fries and I ordered a bacon cheeseburger with fries. The bacon was cooked nice and crisp and they cooked the meat as I had requested. My burger was really good and the restaurant was spotless inside with very good customer service. The prices are reasonable too. read more

After a great couple of days with the love, we wanted Clam Chowder, sadly the place was closed. So we decided on Breakfast! We found Grandma's! It was amazing and simple, Biscuits and gravy, and I had bacon and eggs with a side of biscuits it was very delicious! With belly's full we headed back to the valley, until we meet again! read more

Grandmas Kitchen... yes yes yes it is!!! Just like at grandma's, it's so sweet and warm and yummy!!! You can taste the love in every bite! The food was absolutely delicious and the service so friendly! My kids are begging to come back to Monterey to eat at Grandmas Kitchen! read more

Only ones here for breakfast at 7.20am so service was fast and friendly. This place is cute with all the Owl memorabilia. We both had the Biscuits and gravy special. The hash browns were really good! Cooked perfectly. Biscuits were also good but the gravy was a little salty. They make their own and it had bits of bacon in it so extra points for that. I asked for my eggs medium. When they arrived I saw that dreadful crust around the edge (meaning they were cooked too hot and fast) but hoped for the best, but they were hard. When our waitress came to check on us and asked how everything was I mentioned the eggs being overdone and she happily said she'd get them redone. She bought me 1 perfectly cooked egg, not 2 which I was expecting. Oh well, I was happy it was cooked properly. Overall it was good and we prefer to patronize family owned businesses so we'll be back to try other things on the menu. Small parking lot in the back. No street parking. read more

My wife and I just had lunch there. Been there several times going there for years. Today's service was under par. I understand server was busy but intended to everyone else but my wife and I. Wasn't friendly towards us. Never asked for refills how was the food. read more

A small family owned spot. Nothing fancy but taste like home cooked breakfast. Good prices and portions. We will be back read more

I ordered the hamburger patty breakfast with hash brown extra crispy over medium eggs and sour dough. It was great the beef tasted like good quality and the hash brown and eggs seemed perfectly cooked. The patty and hash browns were a bit under seasoned but with salt and pepper it was great. read more

Greasy spoon look on the outside and owl themed interior on the inside. The pine nut banana pancakes were delicious. Coffee was refilled promptly and all the condiments you need are already at the table. Good spot to grab breakfast while in Monterey. Don't expect gourmet because that's not what they offer here. Solid filling food for a fair price is what you get. read more

Food and service was good. Traditional American breakfast. Easy access from the hotel

Underrated! This breakfast and lunch is the best near the seaside area. Still need to try dinner. Definitely homey diner feel with a staff that's just trying to get you fed. read more

The food was excellent, wait staff were friendly. Breakfast was like a homemade meal. If you want good food, it's the place.

It's an old time family diner that has great service and good food. My fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy were exactly what I expected but the chicken was even better than I thought it would be. The place is super clean, comfy and enjoyable. Our grandkids had spaghetti and they loved it, my wife had the French Dip and thought it was good. I'd have to say we would come back here. read more

Stopped in for breakfast on Sunday and what I saw did not impress. Saw one waitress basically lounging actoss the counter another eating while walking around and the one that seated us basically acted as if she didnt want to be there. Sat us at the table set the menus down as she was already walking away. The place was not busy at all. Did not stay. The attitudes and lack of wanting customers was too much for me. Went to LouLous Griddle in the Middle instead and was so happy I did as it was fantastic from the greating to the food, everything. Grandmas Kitchen staff seemed displayed laziness and not personalble and a lack of customer service read more

First time here. I was disappointed... food-no flavor no presentation & took 45 mins after ordering. service-very POOR, servers don't care to ask if we need anything after food is delivered/served. Cleanliness-server wiped several tables with the same rags. I will NOT come back & definitely NOT recommend to my family & friends read more

Some friends and I met here for breakfast. We were a larger group but they had no problem seating us immediately. The tea coffee and juice was all great. Once we ordered our food everything was to our liking. The food is simple and tasty. read more

Has potential! Very homey and cozy ambiance but food selection was lackluster! A good fall back option though if you don't know where to go

I walked in alone, and was not greeted, then a family walked in and was greeted immediately. I wasnt determined to let that ruin my experience so I looked past it. I ordered the Grandpa's He-Man, (3 pancakes-2 eggs-2 bacon-2 Sausage) and the food came very quick. Like in 5 minutes quick. The bacon was a little over cooked, but the eggs and sausage links were very good. I ate my pancakes last and they were not very good. The waitress hardly spoke to me at all, and then finally brought me the check. If I was in a pinch I would eat here again, other than that, id probably not. read more

We stopped here on impulse after a long morning running errands around town, and had a lovely time. We were the only patrons and everything was clean, quiet, and cozy. I'm a sucker for places like this, though. Show me a small family diner covered in kitschy animal knick-knacks and I will just throw down my credit card and order the entire breakfast menu (which I feel like i basically did) The food wasn't anything particularly mind-blowing, but it was good, hot, filling, and done correctly. Can't complain! My husband must have loved it a lot, because he tipped the entire cost of my meal. Or maybe he can't do math. Either way, I guess the nice server lady deserved it, lol. We wouldn't make a special trip to come back, but if we are in the area again, we won't hesitate to drop in! read more

Went to grandas kitchen today for the first time OMG amazing food I had the special biscuits and gravy with eggs and hash browns so delicious my wife and mother in law had the waffles with bacon and they love it, will definitely be back and highly recommend this place great food and great service read more

Nice local spot. Rolling with the punches through COVID so the Outdoor dining area is lovely, small, and clean. Food was good. Nothing fancy but that's just me being a snob. Ordered the turkey Bennie. Well made. egg poached nicely and the turkey was delicious. Country potatoes hit the spot too. I'd pick this spot over the DENNY'S down the street any day. A lot more character here read more

This was a solid diner for grabbing breakfast the morning after camping at Big Sur. We both ordered the French Toast Combo, which was an adequate amount of food for $10. Our server was quite pleasant and chipper and graciously offered to let us substitute hashbrowns for the meat in the combo since we are both vegetarian. The food itself was mediocre - dry egg, hashbrowns only crispy on one side, and thin French toast, but it wasn't very expensive and we both really wanted a diner vibe for our breakfast. read more

Good for a run of the mill breakfast, nice service but the ladies seem to sit behind the counter and chit chat and not tend for coffee refill, we had to ask twice, I'd go Ariana's in Salinas instead. read more

Best burgers in town for starters!!! Their breakfasts are really good too! Large portions and friendly service! Their breakfast biscuits and gravy is delicious! read more

This is a great little homestyle breakfast place. And it's clear that it is all about the hooters here! Just saying that in the sense that the motif is owls. From ceramic, to drift wood and metal. It's cute, quaint, kitchy and clean. The food is good as well. Not life changing but really good breakfast standards. I had the burrito and asked if I could have it with chorizo. It was spicy, meaty, cheesy and really good. My husband ordered the grandpa's omelette which was a Joe's special style with spinach and ground beef. You can tell people eat there often as the waitresses knew people's names and regular orders. read more

We got takeout breakfast here in the afternoon. The food was reading when we came in and the ladies checking us out were friendly. The food was good but nothing stood out that would put this place above others. All of the condiments like jam, ketchup, and utensils were already in the bag without us asking so that was a plus! read more

I want to say great service and great food. However, I am addicted to SOS over Hash Browns. We get it to go about 2xs a week. Order is so large that my boyfriend and I split an order. Every time I have any other SOS i compare it to Grandma's Kitchens and it never comes close. By far the best pllace in town for breakfast. Outside seating during COVID too! Try the SOS, its MARVELOUS!! read more
