Located on the Poppy Hills Golf course is Porters s lovely Breakfast and Lunch Grill. Consistent quality dishes reasonably priced await you before, after your round or whenever you feel like staying out of the fray and having a good drink and food. There is full bar serving every thing you want. Prices fair despite the ZipCode. Don't forget this is the NCGA members course so spotlight on keeping up with its image. The food: burgers, fried chicken sandwiches, a variety of Mexican foods such as Quesadillas, tacos, chiliquillies, burrito bowls, an array of excellent salads. 4 of had lunch today under $100 and included 1 Bloody Mary .... LARGE portions. We had very good service as well. Sad they are not open at dinner. This would give Tap Room a run for the money-- totally different site but food is good if not better than TR. GO! read more

Lazy bartender. Told me that they didn't have a happy hour. I told him it was on the website. Then he agreed and acted annoyed. When we ordered a second round of drinks he charged us list price. I didn't want to argue with him so I just paid the bill. Will never go back. The 4 of us spent 500.00 to play golf. Another 85.00 in the bar. Won't be going back to porters again. They blew it. Told all my fellow golfers. Stay away. read more

We were on 17 mile drive and were absolutely starving. Since I dont know the area at all, I Yelped the area and found this amazing spot. We walked in and the place was empty, so we took the best seat on the outside patio overlooking the golf course. The weather was perfect. The view was perfect. Our waiter came by and got us drinks and our appetizers. We got calamari for appetizers and it was great. We devoured it cause we were so hungry lol. My wife got the steak sandwich which was sooo good, my daughter got a burger, which was delicious, and I got nachos with chicken, which was delicious also. The waiters would check on us regularly. It was such a great spot. If you're on 17 mile drive, this is a bit away from the Oceanside, but it's such a nice spot! I would definitely recommend grabbing lunch here tho! read more

Beautiful view from the restaurant overlooking the golf course and the forest. I started with a prickly pear. Margarita. The sausage pizza was amazing... Rustic, homemade crust, mozzarella, pickled onions, homemade sausage and hot honey. Delicious. I feel like this spot was not as pricey as the golf courses on 17 mile drive. read more

The food AMAZING! The afternoon serving crew and manager were the very best! I would recommend for a great lunch, early dinner.

Warmly greeted and Susan was very helpful and attentive. A pretty good breakfast, to be sure. The French Toast was perfect, although I would have liked some more strawberries on top, personally. The Chicken Fried Steak looked hearty. The side of poached eggs were way overdone - between a soft and hard yolk - not even close. Bloody Mary was decent. A nice complement to Poppy Hills Golf Course. read more

A few of us wanted to get together for coffee and breakfast and we found this gem! With a beautiful view of the course and great food, it was topped with the best service we've had at a restaurant in a long time. Kelsey made sure we had everything we needed and was so pleasant! We couldn't have asked for a better experience! read more

Not your average clubhouse food, not by a long shot or drive or whatever. This review is based on a single visit for our 20th anniversary dinner (high expectations) at 8:00 on Sunday (very slow time for the kitchen and waiter). Ideally book dinner before sunset as the drive in is spectacular. We arrived at the clubhouse and thought, 'hmm, is this the place with all the great Yelp reviews' since it really looks like a burgers and beers spot. After we got the menu we knew we were in the right place. Starters: Baby Gem Wedge Salad / 14 Baby Gem Lettuce, Buttermilk Dressing, Cypress Point Blue Cheese, House made Bacon, Tabasco Onions and Blue Cheese Agnolotti Agnolotti stuffed with a blue cheese cream sauce, Chanterelle mushrooms, onions, tomatoes. The wedge was not heavy which helped the bacon and onions really pop. The Agnolotti was very savory and the vegetables were outstanding. The blue cheese cream filling was a little too much cream and a little too little blue cheese for my palate. Still super enjoyable. read more

So fortunate to live in the area and experience the hidden treasures in our backyard. Our server Augustine was hands down one the best servers we had the pleasure of meeting in a while. The weather was perfect to enjoy the deck. This was my second time visiting. The first time I had lunch which was just as good as our breakfast that morning. Definitely will be back to try other things off their menu. read more

Porter's offers a decent assortment of dishes for breakfast and a nice view of a golf course. For those seeking a spectacular ocean view, you'll only catch a sliver of it. We had huevos rancheros and a veggie scramble. Our meals were good... but nothing out of the ordinary. The highlight was the service. read more

2 experiences this weekend. Eggs Benedict in the morning which was good. Nothing crazy good but a solid effort. Reuben Sandwich in the afternoon which was disgusting. Must have been 80% pure fat. Usually this place is pretty good. I play golf there periodically. Moral of the story: don't order the Reuben I guess. Service can be a bit slow. Best to not be on a schedule if you eat here. Very cheerful waiters though. read more

Returned for our semiannual visit and was so happy to find the service and food still excellent! Rosendo was our server today and made sure we always had our water and coffees filled. We return over and over for a reason! Today, we had the corned beef hash which is made with real beef brisket that is served over shredded hash browns and eggs. Just the perfect thing to fill our bellies with before heading out onto the course. Thank you Porter's in the Forest for another fine visit! read more

The food here is generally good. The service is good as well. The place is pretty cool for what it is. Lots of decorations that may or may not excite you. I thought it was cool.

GOLF COURSE AT PEBBLE BEACH I didn't know picking a place for us to dine for lunch would end up being at a golf course in a gated community costing $10 to enter IN PEBBLE BEACH. We made reservations for 1pm and sat outside of the deck to view the golf course. Such a pretty view! Service was poor. We had to call the hostess who served us more than our waiter. The waiter never bothered to deliver my drink sitting on the courier after asking for it TWICE. That should have been scratch off the bill in my opinion! AFTERNOON BLUES - I think thats what the beverage was called. The taste was refreshing, light, and had no hints of alcohol but indeed there was alcohol in it. Presentation of my drink was simple and elegant. Highly recommend!!! FRIED ARTICHOKE HEARTS - such a delicious appetizer. Who doesn't love artichokes?!?! The hearts were like buds and deep fried with very thin slices of lemon that happen to also be edible. Never had an appetizer like this before and really enjoyed every bite. If you like the zing of citrus take a bite of the thin sliced deep fried lemons. Highly Recommend!!! CHICKEN PICCATA - such a delicious meal. The chicken was perfectly prepared. The thin skin was crispy and had great flavor. The breast meat was tender and moist. It was resting on a bed of couscous that was mixed with chopped herbs and olives... So good. And then garnished and topped with spinach and some kind of broccolini. The only thing that I couldn't consume on the plate was the bitter broccolini; too bitter for my liking. Overall, it was a well executed dish. Presentation was beautiful. Highly recommend!!! FLANK STEAK WITH FIXINGS - presentation was nice, block of flank steak, greens, and beans that looked like Mac and cheese from across the table. OF MENTIONING... ordered as medium well and came or as well done AKA beef jerky. Until the next review... read more

We arrived to the restaurant after a beautiful drive around Pebble Beach, which might be one of the most beautiful areas in California. The restaurant is inside the clubhouse of a golf course and was basically empty for a Sunday morning brunch. We were told that breakfast ended at 11 AM but they still had a couple items we could order from the breakfast menu instead of getting lunch. We ordered the eggs benedict and the veggie omelet and both were excellent. The benedict with avocado and mushrooms can rival any benedict we've had and the omelet was well done too. It's a great view over the gold course while eating and our server was great. I'm not as familiar with other breakfast options in the area but this was a treat. read more

Really liked this establishment and would recommend it to others. Outside seating is just fabulous but make sure the heaters work! We moved to the fire place and had to try and fit our plates on that tiny space because all the other heaters were not working. Anyways, we started with the calamari which was very good and such a huge portion! What a great start! Next we got the sirloin steak, burger, salad, and the fish of the day which was their special: a nice salmon cooked with clams, muscles, mushrooms and asparagus. Everything was fresh and tasted exceptional. The staff was so friendly! Will be back soon! read more

The Poppy Hills Golf Course & Clubhouse have undergone an extensive remodel in recent years. Porter's has a nice selection of dining fare so there is sure to be something for everyone. The menu features classic club house favorites joined by elevated comfort fare. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner and have a full service bar. If you're in search of a bold and spicy elixir, do get the Bloody Mary. It's very refreshing and the perfect accompaniment to any meal. This crafted with the perfect flavors and spices and garnished with crispy bacon, celery, olives and a lime wedge. The Short Rib Fries are a great opener to share. Thick cut, crispy fries are layered with tender marinated short rib meat and melted muenster. Since it was a cold drizzly day, the Turkey Pot Pie was a perfect choice. The ultimate comfort food! Tender vegetables in a rich gravy enveloped by a golden crispy buttery crust. Make sure to place your order early and allow at least 15 mins to prepare. Enjoy fireside dining and world-class golf at Poppy Hills. Guests can relax on Porter's heated expansive deck dotted with beautiful fire pits and comfortable patio and lounge seating. Diners can take in the gorgeous views of the lush greens and the Del Monte Forest as they enjoy seasonal and elevated American cuisine. read more

5 stars considering this is a golf club 19th tee. We have been here at least 7 times and expect many more visits as we are building a home on hole 10. Our go to is the salmon salad which couldn't be better. Wins are good, pot pie got rave reviews and brunch was great. The prices are very reasonable considering the quality. UPDATE: recently attended bourbon and bones event which was a carnivores delight. Wow, 5 different drinks paired with amazing bbq. We were met with a refreshing whiskey spritzer and walk around apps of fried Mac n cheese and chorizo sausage on a stick. That was followed by old fashion and brisket, then Manhattan and burnt ends and beans, followed by a bourbon mule and dry run ribs. One more, whisky infused digestive and mud pie. I could wrote about all the details such as dried mint leaves candied for the spritzer or the 15 day smoked brisket...but my best words would under serve the experience. Thanks to Johnny, Joe, John and the entire porters crew. read more

It's a hidden cafe near the golf course. We drove by 17 mile drive and decided to stop here for lunch. It did took some time to get our food for a large party. The food here is actually good portion and quite tasty! Price is fair for a nice view of the golf course. Highly recommend! read more

I came with the MPC Hospitality Club for a tour of the front and back House and a peek into the industry. We had the absolute pleasure of exploring the kitchen, storage rooms and learning how everything is prepped/created. Joe was our guide and has a fantastic attitude. He is very knowledgeable about the goings on throughout the restaurant and behind the scenes. He was absolutely a sweetheart and gratefully treated our club to lunch and dessert. He is truly a great guy. I am absolutely planning on coming back to Porters with friends to maybe catch Happy Hour and enjoy a meal! I am so thankful I was able to come and have such an insightful learning experience. read more

Wonderful little place to pop in for a quiet lunch. Small but well-thought out menu.

Food was delicious and was served in a timely fashion. read more

We started with the short rib fries, then had a burger with cheddar and a fried egg and the General Tso's fish tacos. The short rib fries were great (!) but very rich. Excellent barfood. My husband loved his burger with cheddar and fried egg! Five stars right there. General Tso's fish tacos were very good. Not your typical fish tacos! Not so much the General Tso's I've ever tasted, but still good! There was no sweetness in these fish tacos; all savory. We finished with two scoops of sea salt caramel chocolate gelato. Oh! M! G! Un-flipping-believable! Fabulous! Nothing more to say! read more

Came here for a wedding. The food was pretty decent, the ice cream dessert was fantastic. Best of all, though, was the service. One member of our party had a little girl that was pretty sick, so mom and daughter ended up missing the whole reception (and the wedding out at the beach, too). Mom and daughter end up spending the entire time in the car (with the daughter sleeping) waiting for the reception to finish. I asked the servers if I could get some of the food boxed up to take out to the car for them, so at least the mom could eat. The servers were more than willing to oblige, and packed a box of the appetizers, then later, packed up both entrees for me to take out to the car. The second server, when I asked for utensils, gave me a nice plastic bag with utensils and plenty of napkins. Nice food, great scenery, but the service crew made all the difference. Thank you. read more

Came here with a group of 5 . The servers were very dismissive . After spending 15 minutes they come back and tell us they can't serve a group of 5 . They could have said that from the beginning . It seemed like they just wanted to find an excuse to not serve my group . I would avoid this place unless I was with a bunch of regulars to the golf club read more

One of the best meals you can find anywhere in the Monterey Bay area, by far! This place is more than just a golf course restaurant! The service is great, the view is beautiful, and the food is FANTASTIC! Must Order: Gnocchi...light, airy, flavorful...do it! Short Rib Fries...meat and fries on one plate...do I need to say anything more?! Burger...BEST burger I've had in recent memory!! read more

The server was not polite at all. He did not seem to want to serve us. We waited for about 15 minutes at the table before he could even acknowledge us, and just to tell us that we cannot sit at that table. This was extremely awkward since there were other large groups in the restaurant. Will not recommend this place, and will not be coming back here. read more

Had Eggs Benedict, honestly the best I've ever eaten. hollandaise sauce was perfect. Red potatoes with green peppers and onions was excellent. View of the course would've been great except for the fog. Highly recommended to eat here. read more

I really enjoyed my breakfast here! I had the corned beef hash which wasn't the best corned beef hash I've ever had, but was good. The meat was definitely on the fatty side. The eggs were excellent. The portions were great and we were seated promptly. The view overlooking the golf course is also very nice. The seating area felt a bit too generic, "hotel lobby" rather than a proper restaurant -- for those reasons, I give this four stars as opposed to five. If you are looking for a solid, good, breakfast in Pebble Beach, this is a good place. read more

What an amazing dinner!!! We are visiting from out of town and found this gem on opentable. First of all what incredible staff and customer service. Wow! Nicholas our server was attentive, knowledgeable and humorous and Marco makes a mean martini! The food was fresh and absolutely delicious and we were even graced with a visit with the chef after we finished. The oysters were fresh and pure perfection. The halibut was cooked beautifully and the calamari was seasoned perfectly. We didn't realize it until we were leaving but we arrived 10 minutes before closing and not one person working mentioned it or tried to rush us even when we ordered after dinner drinks and ice cream. True customer service at its finest. read more

I called ahead to see if they comped for the gate fee into Pebble Beach and the man gave my name to the gate for free entry. Came here shortly thereafter and it was pretty mellow. Service was fast and friendly. I ordered hot tea and the corned beef hash for breakfast. My hash was very good although it was house smoked hash it tasted more like buttery beef cubes but no matter. Everything tasted like it was from scratch including the hash browns. The boyfriend ordered a Bloody Mary and the eggs Benedict. The Bloody Mary is made with Ketel One and was delicious ( I couldn't resist a sip) and the eggs Benedict were okay- a little bland and cold. Presentation of both plates was amazing and who can beat a nice peaceful view of a golf course tucked in a forest with deer meandering on the greens! Parking was ample as well. Prices were great and affordable for the area. I would definitely come back to try dinner. read more
