Stopped in here for lunch while driving 101. The food is good - freshly made, hot and good sized portions. I had the avocado, chorizo and cheese omelette - minus the avocado! It was a good amount of egg and chorizo but not nearly enough cheese. The salsa was homemade and spicy - definitely made a statement! My husband had the chorizo scrambled eggs with house potatoes. Both the eggs and potatoes were great. The staff were friendly and helpful - yes, even "the daughter" previously criticized by other reviewers started badly, but then transformed into a very warm person. It's not a place you come to for atmosphere, but for good food it works and the staff clearly work hard. One caveat, the women's restroom needs some work. read more

Quint spot not too far off the 101 freeway, but wouldn't have known existed as it's not visible from the road. We were towing our travel trailer and were able to find parking. Everyone was very friendly, but the place gave these city slickers the country and cowboy vibes. It might have been everyone walking in were wearing either cowboy boots or rubber boots while we wore flip flops. Oh, and the bathroom signs, lol We felt the prime rib portion was on the smaller side for the price. Our meal and service were fine, nothing that stood out except for the cheesy toast. The cheesy toast was the wow factor on the plate. read more

Arrived at noon on Thursday, place is nearly empty, only a 2-top occupied. The very nice waitress/girl said sit anywhere but I walked past 4 tabletops with crumbs or dishes. She literally failed to clean anything at any point and was on her phone behind the counter. We ordered beers but they had almost nothing listed on the menu. Place looks like they are on the verge of closing down maybe? Just a general disregard for how they present the business. The good was great but being charged $8 for bottled Coors light was odd. We shared the plate and with tax and tip it was $40. Go for the food and let go of all other expectations. read more

Stevies Family Restaurant - Chorizo Omelet Pancake - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Prunedale, California

Very deceptive in all that they do. No wonder why it closed. It should have been a go-to place but didn't have what it takes to run a fine community restaurant. The food was ordinary and too many family members didn't have what it takes to make people come back. read more

To start, my lemonade had like visible mold floating in it... The raspberry tea had like old milk in the bottom, which made me wonder if they had cleaned their cups beforehand. And then a new one was given to me and it had like black pepper like things in it so I didn't drink any of my drinks. I just didn't feel like asking for a new one anymore. As for the food, it took forever and there was only my friend and her family there. The food was okay...my Mac and cheese didn't have much flavor but other than that, the staff were somewhat nice. I just hope they properly clean their cups next time. read more

So rude, servers act annoyed that you came by, overpriced the ticket yes mysteriously a small order is over $30 due to tax and extra drinks not ordered, don't waste a dime or a minute here it's a rip off and rude servers... food is average, my friend couldn't finish her food it was pretty dry and not great... Country Kitchen or anything would be better. Elderly folks ignored and scammed here too... read more

I like corned beef hash from time to time, and ordered it from Stevie's this morning without being sure what theirs would be like. It's impossible to ruin hash totally but at so many restaurants you get your eggs on top of an overly salty cake of meat and potatoes that might well have come out of a freezer. Not at Stevie's. To my delight the over-easy eggs (perfectly cooked by the way) were on top of freshly made potatoes and meat, with really fresh-tasting onions and a touch of other vegetables. Replete with flavor and not salted too much. I'd be prepared to say this is the best corned beef hash I've ever had (and at age 69 I am no spring chicken) and well worth the trip. read more

Bad experience. Unclean, old environment. Dirty, used tables and chairs. Condiments barely filled or missing. Waitress in worn clothes, never smiled or courteous, didn't know the menu or what was included. Restroom filthy with no TP of paper towels. Worst of all, the prices were outrageous. Everything was $15 or more for simple breakfast items. The 2 plain waffles came with piled on powdered sugar! No butter. Had to ask for syrup or jam for the toast or coffee refill. At the checkout, I tried to explain our disappointment so they can improve but only received a bratty attitude, argument, and no apologies. Don't go there unless you want to have an expensive, regrettable experience! read more

Wow what a shock...Called ordered 2 pork chop dinners got call back no chops so ordered Meatloaf NO go.. So settled for Chicken fried steak what a disappointment mashed potatoes & gravy seamed instant also ordered Club sandwich..my wife stop by on way home from work 10 minute drive to Aromas CFS soggy.. This use to be a great place to stop by Very disappointing... for $81.00 read more

Sad to have to update previous review. Just can't recommend anymore. We have tried to give them benefit of the doubt but... Although the food is still good at times it is not consistent. Unless Stevie is there, service is not the least bit friendly or helpful. But the worst part is that cleanliness is not a priority. I could go into detail but will just leave it that no public-facing area is clean enough. Makes you wonder about the kitchen. So sorry. We really want to support this local business but just can't anymore. read more

While in the shopping center me and wife saw this place. Never noticed it before. After seeing reviews decided to try it out for breakfast. There is plenty of parking since it is in a shopping center. Walked in and seated right away. The restaurant seemed a little outdated and my menu was dirty. Some gravy or something on it. So first impressions not great. Staff was very friendly throughout our meal. Coffee was never empty and was checked in several times. They informed us of their popular items so we tried two of them. The wife got the red chilaquiles and I got the chicken fried steak which came with eggs hash browns and I chose pancakes. Per wife the best chilaquiles she has ever had. They were spicy and she ate the whole plate. Mine was also really good. The pancakes in top 5. Hash browns cooked perfectly and chicken fried steak was delicious. Will definitely be back. read more

Don't bother. I'm a prunedale local and want to support but Stevie needs to fire her shitty employees including her daughter. Please wake up to your own family destroying your business. It's Friday afternoon I call to see how busy they are and her daughter tells me they close at 530pm. Shocked...I have a friend call on their phone and Stevie picks up. Tells us 'oh no we're open till 8'. Stevie wake up! your employee deliberately lies to your customers on top of all the VERY horrible reviews related to the employees nonexistent customer service. Very very disappointed read more

One guy working the restaurant, I think the other guy may have been at lunch or break when we came in so the guy took our order got us drinks and then made the food. He's talented give that guy a raise! It was good food and even though it was just him we got everything we needed. Try it out not bad food and was quick read more

It's super cute, and the owner is super welcoming. When we went it wasn't busy, & food was tasty. Prices are affordable & felt really relaxed. We didn't feel pressured to leave after we were done eating. It's located next to my dentist in Prunedale. read more

We used to go there all the time years past and food was always good. They should be closed down....first Of all the restaurant was so dirty, from the floors, to the tables, to the bathrooms. Called before we went because we wanted Chicken Fried Steak and they said they had it. Got there and was told they didn't have gravy. Ended up ordering something different. Service was awful. Had to ask for syrup. My food was getting cold before I got it. When I went to pay, they tried to overcharge me. I took one of the menus that was lying on the counter and showed it to the women (also very rude)that I was overcharged). She changed the price and was annoyed that I brought it to her attention. You can be assured she was not given a tip And will never go back again. I cannot believe they are still in business. read more

We went to Stevie's today, realizing it was Father's Day. It took a very long time for our food. I requested soft scrambled eggs. They were overcooked. We sent them back and they were worse the second time. I did not eat them. The server first said they were very crowded and it would be awhile. The busser Was was great, very professional and apologetic. This is the second time we have been there recently. The first time, we left because it took forever for a food to come out. We wanted to stay local and support a business in the shopping center. Based on this experience, I don't think we will be going back problems with food twice since we've had the same slow service and problems with food twice. The pancakes were delicious. The hashbrowns were greasy, coating my lips. read more

I wrote a review in mid 2024 and for some reason it's disappeared, even from the hidden reviews, so here's another try: First of all they have the best Chicken Fried Steak I've ever had, and I'm a CFS gourmet ;-). But here's the typical meal experience: walk in, sit down at a wobbly table, and wait for one of the two teen girls to get off their phone long enough to come over and drop off menus. Ask for coffee and water, wait. Get coffee, no water. One of the giggling girls texting with one of her boyfriends saunters over and takes the order. I ask for water again. Food is delivered, and the third time I get the water. For some totally inexplicable reason they keep NOTHING on the tables! Really? Could I get some salt? Thanks, could I get some pepper? Thanks. Do you have any ketchup? Good deal. Say, would you have any hot sauce back there? OK, could I get a couple of little jellies for the toast? (No choice on type, they just drop off what they have.) Could I please get some cream for the coffee? Regular cream, not that flavored stuff. Do you have any napkins please? JHC, give me a break! Then enjoy the great CFS. Then again trying to get their attention. Hello, could I get some more coffee, and could you spare another cream packet? Then they're gone for good. I see a woman and her husband sitting up front futilely trying to get the attention of the one of the texting girls to get some coffee. She actually gets up, walks to the counter and asks the one completely non-functional girls for the coffee. The girl looks irritated, and briefly nods while snapping her gum. THEN giggles and takes the phone over to the other girl for a huddle and excited confab for 5 minutes! THEN she finally saunters over to get the pot of coffee for that annoying customer! One of the girls is family to the owner, the other her friend. Now we get to the real problem here, aside from the two teen girls who are casually destroying hard working Stevie's business. That is that the posted menu prices bear no relation to what they have programmed into the state of the art point-of-sale terminal they have! I actually have the weird Boomer ability (which is completely alien to Gen Z's), to do simple math in my head: CFS: $16, coffee $3, plus 9.25% sales tax, round that up to 10%. That's $19 plus a max of $1.90, so approximately $20.75. AND here's the bill, just short of $24. Me: "No, that's not right!" The girl in between text messages: "You forgot the tax!" Me: "No, I didn't; tax is 9.25% here, not 25%, which is what this is working out to." Sigh! Roll eyes! Unreasonable irritating customer! Can't you see we have more important things to do!? Then here comes Stevie, knowing full well that the prices programmed into the terminal are higher than the posted menu prices, but doubles down on the "sales tax" excuse! And we go round and round and round. How disingenuous! Meanwhile there's a growing line behind you as you selfishly hold everyone up for "only" a few dollars! Finally they slowly and grumpily and with much visible irritation make an "exception" for you. Ookay. So I have to downgrade it to 1 star for the experience, and add an extra star for the efforts of the cook. Bottom line, I'm back at Country Kitchen down the hill and across Vierra Canyon, with Rick expertly running things. Everything you could need is already on the non-wobbly table, the wait staff actually _waits_ on you, if you do need something extra there are 4 or 5 people all over it, and the pricing on the bill always matches the menu. AND they have the same uncanny Boomer superpower to be able to correctly calculate sales tax. Not to mention the food is excellent. Good food or not, I refuse to patronize a place where you're routinely ignored, and then gaslighted as to how they calculated your bill. The best thing they could do here is hire just two wait staff that actually WANT to work, and get new menus and program those EXACT prices into their terminal. But, after talking to other people recently I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon. read more

We stopped in just for a small bite and drink while house hunting. Was cutely decorated country western and clean. Time was 130pm and there was only one other party there eating. The server seemed annoyed we were there so I double checked the hours(the close at 8 according to the door sign). We ordered sodas and a hot fudge sundae but they were out of ice cream so we went with just fries. When husband needed a drink refill we were ignored a few times and she seemed really upset about something. I texted my husband that I didn't feel welcome and we waited for the check to leave. Fries were good, place is clean, but I don't feel like I was wanted there so I won't be going back. Maybe they prefer regulars. We had planned to move to the area and hoped this would be a nice weekend spot but I won't be back. I do t like feeling like a bother. read more

Portions were small compared to the price. Service was pretty bad even though there were only two other tables in the place. The ambiance looks basic and not really welcoming. Just plain tables and chairs. Staff was more or less just hanging out with their friends/family more than worrying about the customers. read more

I gave the Friday night prime rib dinner a try. Mistake. I requested med-rare, it was well done and was thin cut and did not resemble a prime rib. Worst prime rib I've ever had. The potato texture was like a re-heated day old boiled potato that was pre-smashed. I've never had a bake potato pre-smashed in a restaurant. No condiments were offered for the potato, no horseradish for the meat. The garlic bread was hard on one side, inedible. Salad was a bit of iceberg lettuce with a slice of unripe tomato cut in half. Sorry but this was my first time eating at Stevie's and I won't be back. read more

Ate here when it first opened was not a fan. Small portions service was slow and the place was empty. But I have not been there in years.

Friendly and food was tasty but service was slow and the plastic to go container was melted in one corner so I didn't eat that 1/2 of the country potatoes. read more

Stevies Family Restaurant - Melted to go container - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Prunedale, California

We went to Stevies yesterday for a late lunch. I had heard a lot mostly good but some not so good so I didn't know what to expect. The restaurant was totally empty when we got there. I wasn't overly impressed with they decor but that's not why I was there. They have a fairly large menu that included both breakfast and dinner but not overwhelming. I chose the club sandwich with curly fries, my husband chose the chicken fried steak. I have to say that the fries were really good and crispy. The club sandwich was good. The bread was perfect. Bacon was good. The turkey was regular deli turkey. Maybe around Thanksgiving they'll cook turkey in-house. My husband said the chicken fried steak was good. I took a bite and it was ok but I've been searching for the perfect chicken fried steak since I left Texas. My overall summary is that Stevies is decent but I wouldn't expect foodies to appreciate it. read more

Tables were not cleaned. Young staff girl was rude and put out on having to clean the table where she sat us. She didn't speak, just shot us a dirty look so we got up and left never to go back. read more

Place is just gross and unclean. My favorite part is the printer on the bar right in the middle. Place won't last another year.

I went to eat dinner with my family and I ordered the ribeye steak . I was very hungry but the meat smelled really bad and I tried twice and I asked my family to try and every body it was agree with the smell they take back but the reuse the same plate that it was very disrespectful and the waitress give me some attitude read more

My boyfriend and I enjoyed some great food there! We recently moved to the area and wanted to try something new. Our waitress was really rude though and seemed as if she was annoyed with us. I see from previous reviews this isn't the first time she has made someone feel like this haha. I know she is young but I felt nervous to ask for a refill or anything. Couldn't track her or anyone down for a refill or more napkins. Would try again because the food was great though. read more

Food was good, always love the food, but the service from the teenagers is not good I know they're young so the jobs weren't something they choose, but it is their family business, and they need to learn to show some enthusiasm and pride on the work they do. Most times, I feel like I am bothering them. read more

Stevies is located in the prunedale shopping center, hadn't been previously but they have been open for 3 years is what I'm told. Took the folks there looking for a new place to have lunch. Stevies is a American style eatery with just a touch of Mexican, with Chilaquiles mixed into the menu. We found the food to be delicious, fresh and good portions. Although I don't ever award 5 stars or actually seldom do. I found Stevies to have great food, great service and very clean. There was a large room to the right as you walk in, which seemed to have recently occupied by a large group and that was understandably not attended to yet. So I gave it 5 stars and hope you all find it enjoyable as well. Gives Stevies a try if you are looking for a more family oriented restaurant. Enjoy!!! read more

Stevie's back and the food better than ever! She's started a Sunday buffet, which looked delish but I stayed with my tried and true, huevos rancheros on crispy tortillas with home made chips on the side. Best huevos ever. read more

One of the best French Toast and Pancakes in Prunedale! I absolutely love the French toast here. It was super delicious and did not taste like commercial pancakes. My over medium eggs were watery, but that's okay because the french toast was worth it. We definitely will be coming back. read more

I had a different review I was going to post, HOWEVER, about 4 hours after my meal I began not feeling well. The evening was fraught with multiple trips to the bathroom and about 4 hrs of sleep which continued into the following day which I believe was from bad linguisa I had for breakfast. Sadly, this review will take the place of my other one with a note of exception that the service was very good on this visit. read more

Called ahead to let them know we were coming with a party of 10, they don't take reservations. 4 of our party showed up at 11, the other 6 at 11:06am. Our first half had nothing but dirty tables to sit at. The busser then came and cleaned the table while we waited for menus and place settings. Could not get them to take our order until 11:40! We weren't served breakfast until almost 1pm! The waitress was rude, condescending, talked back to us, and overall should not be waiting tables. The food was delicious, although we never got all of it! We won't be back. The owner has been in this business long enough to know better. Cheap silverware, unqualified staff, dirty tables, out of salsa, empty bottles of pepper plant on tables, rude consumer service. NOPE! NOPE! NOPE! read more

We found the restaurant on the way to Santa Barbara. The food was great. Service was fast. Many locals walking in and it sounded like the bar cheers, welcoming them. Close to freeway and a great stop. read more

I am very disappointed today, this is the second time we came for the buffet, and they did not have it. The service wasn't friendly. We weren't checked on for refills until our food came. This was the worst service I've had in a long time. I ordered the croissant with sausage. Waitress informed me that the egg was normally over hard, but I wanted over medium. Had to send back to have them cooked how I wanted. The food was delicious, just the service sucked. They never checked on us. If we needed anything, we had to find them. Most of their time was hanging behind the counter. The regulars were treated awesomely and got all the attention. Because of the food, we have been trying to support this business. We come from Salinas to support them. Now, we will be staying closer to home. read more

Stevies Family Restaurant - Plate, fork, creamer, spoon, coffee, butter knife, and sun glasses. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Prunedale, California

Been here a handful of times and always want to like it, especially to support a family run business. However the place is often visibly dirty and the men's room is disgusting, like I've seen cleaner bathrooms in the NY subway. Since it's family run there are kids sometimes hanging out around the restaurant and in the kitchen, which makes me wonder about the cleanliness of the kitchen. Service and food are hit or miss. Breakfast is probably the safest bet, but there are better options nearby for consideration. read more

We have friends that live in the area and while visiting them my wife wanted a burger. I found Stevie's on Yelp and thought I'd give 'em a try. The price was a bit high, the service (take-out) was kind of slow (I watched our order set out by the chef and waited while the counter staff finished up some chores before getting my food), and the burger was pretty bland. It seemed like a nice place. I'd probably go back for breakfast just to give them another shot, but I wasn't terribly impressed. read more

Arrived for our first time for an early dinner. Came off freeway and decided to try this place instead of the surrounding fast food. We were very hungry and ordered mozzarella stick appetizer and placed dinner meals of Friday special Prime Rib. Should have noticed red flag when waitress didn't ask how we liked it prepared (Well, Medium, Rare). Waitress informed us they were out of mozzarella sticks. We asked about other appetizers...not much. Asked if they had garlic bread..."that comes with your meal" ...could have offered bringing it to us before meal, but NO Asked if they had bread...NO. Asked if they had crackers...NO. Ended up ordering a cheese quesadilla. Prime rib meal very disappointing. Solid grey on both sides and literally rare. Only flavor was from the Au Jus spilled all over the entire plate. It just seemed to get worse as the service was none existent. Just gave us our plates and that was it. Had to seek out someone to pay. So over priced for low quality and poor service read more
