Well worth the $17 price as the roll was amazing filled with turkey piled high and fresh lettuce tomatoes crunchy dill pickles... we split the sandwich and were both highly impressed and satisfied. The turkey was sous vide and roasted per the super friendly butcher and tasted oh so good! This is a hidden gem of a small butcher shop and deli (that is part of the Zookers Restaurant family) known for its farm-to-table, locally sourced, and organic meats and seafood.

We had a mixed experience at Peebee & Jay's. The woman working there was very friendly, polite, and…read morewelcoming, which we really appreciated. However, the man who appeared to be the owner (young, beard, wearing basketball shorts) made us feel uncomfortable. After I had already paid for our food, I was questioned about whether I had paid for a second bag of chips. Even after it was clarified as a mistake, there was no direct apology to us, and the interaction left us feeling unfairly accused and uneasy. On top of that, the sandwiches were just average for the price. Overall, the experience was disappointing despite the friendly service from the other staff member. I just hope he treats his employees better than he treats his customers. May 29, 2026 12:45 PM

Padaro Beach Grill -- A Coastal Gem!…read more Located right off Santa Claus Lane, Padaro Beach Grill is truly a hidden gem! We always make a stop here for lunch when we're driving home after spending time exploring towns up the coast. We absolutely love the atmosphere. There's a sand pit for the kids to play in, picnic tables throughout the yard, and just over the fence you have a beautiful view of the ocean. I never realized until today that there's also a train track on the other side of the fence -- I definitely jumped when a train came by blowing its horn! I decided to try something new from their Specials list -- the buffalo chicken sandwich. I'm a picky eater, so I gave my order to my husband while I waited in the long bathroom line (worth mentioning because this place gets busy!). He added cheddar cheese to my sandwich, i didn't think about telling him blue cheese would be best BUT when I picked up our order, i asked for a side of blue cheese crumbles. As a cheese lover, I loved it! My husband has a dairy allergy, so he asked if the onion rings contained dairy. The person at the register took the time to check with the kitchen, and we appreciated that. Unfortunately, they are made with buttermilk, so he went with French fries instead -- which are always his weakness. He really enjoyed his mahi mahi sandwich, although the fries could have been hotter. We will definitely continue stopping here whenever we're in the area. It's also a great spot for gatherings or parties with the outdoor space and relaxed beach atmosphere. Reasonable prices! Highly recommend!

I wish we had noted down the staff member's name who attended to us that day, because we were definitely not offered a discount when we brought up this issue. I do not appreciate the passive aggressive tone of the response we received and certainly did not appreciate being gaslighted here. We won't be coming back. Came here for lunch and we chose the salad bar, which was priced according to the weight of the food you picked. Upon paying for two of those, I realized that I am also paying for the weight of the container, which goes against California law. We spoke to the employee on duty and she claimed that the manager was not around, and refused to do anything about it. What these guys are doing is unethical. You've been warned. Don't get food from the salad bar.

The food and honey are fresh and delicious, and their honey hand balm is soft and deeply moisturizing. Their staff are some of the kindest people you'll ever meet and you can tell how passionate they are about the business and making a positive impact on their community. At one point they noticed I didn't get my order in time, and brought out an extra slice to thank me for my patience, which goes to show their attention to making their customers happy and quickly correcting any mistakes. Food was extra fresh and absolutely delicious. Pepperoni Pizza - 5/5. Soft sourdough crust and mini pepperoni cups. Salad - 5/5. Fresh. Croutons and ranch made in house. Cookies - 5/5. Peanut butter chuck and chocolate chip cookies were perfectly chunky. Hot Honey - 5/5. Extra spicy (and when I say spicy, I mean spicy), and goes well with the pizza! Looking forward to stopping by their brick and mortar location soon, and trying their Tri Tip sandwich!

First time trying Mollie's, and I can say that the service is very kind and welcoming. The food,…read morehowever, was incredibly underwhelming. Here's a break down of my experience: First of all, we came on a Tuesday afternoon for lunch. It says on the menu to ask about the daily special, but there weren't any. The waitress told us that on the weekdays, they do not offer daily specials since they do not have seafood on the weekdays; a weekend exclusive is what we were told. Very disappointing. We said it was fine, however, when it came to placing our orders from the menu, the waitress stopped us three times to let us know they were out of certain ingredients like ham and Italian bacon. Most of the food we ordered were not the dish in its complete form. Pasta Amatriciana: The dish I ordered. It did not come with the cured pork Italian bacon as advertised. The dish itself looks visually appealing but it was incredibly mediocre. The sauce was watery and poorly seasoned. Overall, the dish lacked flavor. I rate it as a 1/5. Chicken Vodka Pasta: the dish my mother ordered. Her comments were the same as mine. She notes that the sauce lacked seasoning and she described it as tasteless. Again, another poor dish. She rates it as a 2/5. Chicken Fettuccini: the dish my father ordered. He didn't have that much to say about it other than it being subpar. He rates it as a 2/5. I will say, in terms of pay, the price was fair. For 3 dishes, all of which came with generous portion sizes, totaled to about $62. Overall, I don't see myself returning to Mollie's in the future. They were out of many ingredients which led to mediocre dishes being served. If you wish to come here, I strongly suggest you visit on the weekend since they only serve special/ seafood dishes then. Other than that, Mollie's is a hard pass.
