    Dropped in for a lunch on our way to for a hike with a dog. Mixed feelings about the place. The casual and dog friendly atmosphere was what we were looking for. It's clean and friendly. You can eat "inside" which is basically an outdoor deck, or on some picnic benches in a campground common area with corn holes, giant connect four and giant jenga. A decent selection of draft beer for $8. The pizzas were larger than I expected but thats only bc I'm used to SF food truck prices. Toppings were good. The "sausage" pizza (which was more of a big combo) was overloaded--the middle of the pizza got soggy and didn't exactly cook well. The cheese and pepperoni pizzas fared better. The tacos were a bit underwhelming. I guess I didn't expect the menu description to be so precise... in how meager they were...... $16 for 6 shrimp with some sprinklings of toppings was a little rough. And if the artichoke tacos weren't naked enough... if they had pico de gallo (as described in the menu), they either forgot or it's invisible. $3 Strauss soft serve was a nice find in the area that otherwise lacks ice cream shops. In the future, I guess we would drop in for an easy pizza, beer and soft serve. I would say it fills a niche but otherwise is skippable.

    Pine & Tent is located inside the Costanoa campgrounds. Great option for food and drinks for those staying at Costanoa. The beauty of glamping at Costanoa was having the option to pop in and out of Pine and Tent for coffee and breakfast before heading out for our hikes or trek to the beach, and also coming back here for food once we returned hungry and tired from our hikes. This place was the casual spot for food and drinks compared to the other Cascade restaurant at Costanoa. They also have a small bar so they have mixed drinks, beer, and wine. Although this was the casual option, prices were still pretty moderate but we expected that since it's food for glampers. Food I had from here during my weekend stay: - Big and Little Basin Burritos. These were delicious breakfast burritos containing eggs, bacon, and potatoes. They're actually the same size although the names are big/little. I learned that the difference is actually the spice levels, the big basin will additionally have bell peppers and other ingredients whereas the little basin burrito is simplified in ingredients and doesn't have spice. - Avocado, arugula, and zucchini biscuit sandwich. I had this for breakfast before a hike and it was delicious and a lighter option compared to the breakfast burritos. - Spaghetti and meatballs. The meatballs were good but unfortunately my pasta noodles were a bit harder than I would have liked. Taste overall was good and I liked the sauce, just the pasta seemed undercooked. - Caesar salad. Simple and standard. The way they cut the romaine lettuce vertically was interesting. - BBQ chicken pizza. This was pretty good and it came out piping hot. - pretzel with cheese. Pretzel was a lot bigger than I expected and this was a nice filling appetizer. - my partner also had the chicken sandwich and enjoyed that as well. I saw several kids enjoying cut up fruit and soft serve icecream cones that looked super good.

    Pizza freshly made with crushed tomato sauce. 3 stars

    Pine tent Fun casual spot at the costanoa property to hang out and get some food and drinks. 3.5 stars Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5 Open tableable: no, show up and order at counter place Return worthiness: yes Highlights: - Awesome meet up spot on the property: big lawn for kids to run around and 2 corn hole set ups - Seating: tables on the deck and on the lawn - Entertainment: Saturday afternoon to early evening a band played which was fun. - Variety of food: sandwiches, ribs, pizza and vegetarian options - Drinks: a combo of non alcoholic refreshments like sparkling cucumber water, canned cocktails, wine, and beer. - Pizza: good size to share for 2, freshly made, and thin crust. Sauce tasted more like a crushed tomato pasta sauce than pizza but was fine. 3 stars Lowlights: - Caprese artichoke purée sandwich: was excited about the concept especially in artichoke land. Unfortunate it tasted extremely bitter and wouldn't determine if that was coming from the arugula, mozzarella, or the artichoke but was very odd and off putting. 2 stars - I heard raves about the breakfast burrito but we never made it there in time for breakfast. Our go to meet up spot to chill with our friends in the afternoon.

    Great pizza at this campground store. Also has lots of drinks, soft serve i e cream. Get it to go and carry it back to your site or sit at one of the many open tables. Live music on the Sat afternoon that we were here. Fun time.

    Just south of Pescadero is @highway1brewing (Instagram has their live music schedule and pics of…read moretheir sunsets) I had not been there since 2013 but but now having returned in autumn of 2025 i absolutely plan to go back. They have a relatively new beer garden, which is shown here in my photos and there's just so much to look at. They also have a #vegan burger from @beyondburgeroffical and the combination made for a wonderful lunch in the sun shielded from the wind. Service Alive and smiling fast in a busy Saturday too. this place has been wonderfully remodeled in the past couple years. The beer garden is chockablock with clever coastal Kitch. The fence is half reinforced with surfboards and snowboards. so much to look at. Parking has gotten a lot easier too. There's a enormous parking area right next to the gas station that you might not think is part of Highway one Café, but I confirmed that it is. Also, you can sit out front and there you'll find a view to the ocean. The beer garden is my favorite tho. Suggestion: why not carpool here and then go down and ride @cotonicoastdairiesnm which has more than 8 miles of trails and a gorgeous view of the sunset. starting in October each year sunset is visible from the west side of Santa Cruz and Davenport where cotoni is!! It's free. Heres the detail: https://www.blm.gov/cotoni-coast-dairies

    *This place is opened back up *…read more Highway 1 Brewery is a really cool spot with a lot of potential. Some of the beers are actually pretty solid, and the food is okay -- nothing bad, just not especially memorable. One of the best parts is sitting at the bar and looking out toward Highway 1 and the ocean. The view alone makes it worth stopping in. Service is just okay. It usually seems like there's only one bartender working, which makes ordering difficult when it gets busy. Cleanliness is also a concern. The place doesn't feel especially well-kept, and we noticed what looked like something growing in the lemonade container, which definitely took away from the experience.

    Every time we drive home from Monterey, I always see the big red Yelp sign that reads best BBQ…read more That sign did its' job and it got me intrigued and grabbed my attention. We finally got the chance to check it out. We arrived on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. The Prunedale Market is located along side the highway 101 freeway in the small town of Prunedale. It just takes a few long right turns to get there. Parking is easy and accessible out in the front parking lot. From the front, the market does not look like a popular BBQ spot. It looks like a simple small market store to grab quick snacks and drinks. Once inside there is a BBQ and deli section to your right. A small dining area is to your left. The decor is old fashioned and quaint. The 2 gentlemen greet you with friendly hospitality. We ordered the Tri tip sandwich, half slab of ribs which includes 2 potatoes and a cup of corn chowder. The pit master/owner Martin, who use to work for Original Joe's, was kind enough to also include a quarter chicken leg, a sausage, and extra ribs. It was so much food for our party of 3. Everything was delicious and hearty. The Tri tip sandwich was scrumptious with the flaming Fritos adding a nice crunchy texture and kick with every bite. The ribs were juicy and smokey. Potatoes complemented very well with the rest of the meat and chicken. Corn chowder was so tasty and creamy. I did not know corn chowder was that good. Overall we enjoyed our experience at the Prunedale Market. The staff were super nice and accommodating. They even offered for our son to grab some free ice cream to go. We politely declined. The prices were very reasonable. All that food fed us for the next 2 days. Lol. We hope to be back when we are in the area with other friends and family.

    What a gem of a restaurant!…read more We were looking for some bbq on a Sunday funday and were so glad we stopped by. It's in the grocery outlet plaza. Order at the counter and sit and enjoy kind of place. It's decorated simply with a tv that was playing ufc and we were welcomed by Tim who was so warm and hilarious our entire visit. First thing I noticed was how fairly priced the place is. 1lb of brisket is 30 dollars, potato salad is 5 dollars and soda is 2 dollars (some places charge like 4 bucks for a can!) Ordered, sat down and enjoyed some convo with the order and our food came out in about 10min. If there's one thing to get, it's the brisket fries!! Oh my word, the sauce and cheese all go so well with the bbq. I like how their sauce has a kick to it and isn't overly sweet. The brisket was really tender and smoked well. I personally enjoy fattier pieces of brisket but I bet if I would've asked for those cuts he might've accommodated. The smoked potatoes salad is almost a must. Very unique style of potato salad and pairs well with everything. We noticed they also do catering, and the prices for that also look very reasonable. Would definitely considering using them for our next party!

    Food: 5.0 | Service (Takeout only): 5.0 | Ambiance: 3.95*…read more Hours: Friday, Saturday & Sunday, 12PM until they run out of barbecue! *Cute quaint train car setting, No seating. TAKE OUT ONLY! GORILLA BARBECUE in Pacifica still delivers on smoky barbecued pork ribs, chicken, links, Beef brisket housemade BBQ sauce. Sides are fine for takeout but I usually concentrate on the proteins and have my own sides at home. This small business located in an old train car, is cute and quaint, but be prepared for no seating. It's a takeout operation only. Counter person is welcoming, helpful, and brisk. It's usually the customers who seem overwhelmed, like they've reached the holy grail, lol, when ordering and will take a bit. Peruse menu, order when up, pay and stand aside to await your order. Good practice to Check your order out before you hit the road. Note there's no more meal combos, all is Ala carte except for a remaining SANDWICH COMBO which includes a PHILLY CHEESESTEAK! Ala cart offers BARBECUE PORK RIBS, PULLED PORK, CHICKEN, BEEF BRISKET, LINKS. Sides are COLESLAW, MAC N' CHEESE, CORNBREAD, POTATO SALAD, BEANS OVER RICE. Was happy with my HALF RACK PORK RIBS, HALF POUND BEEF BRISKET and CORNBREAD. Had corn on the cob and potato salad ready to round out a barbecue meal. P.S. Don't forget the BARBECUE CHICKEN, whole or half, it's smoky, moist and well-seasoned! Think it's often overlooked over the pork and beef.
