Best breakfast in town. We came as at noon when there was a long waiting line. It worths the wait!!!Large portion but tasty at reasonable price was what we looked for. Definitely recommend to reserve a table in advance and ready to be full.Egg Benedict was my favorite but apple oatmeal pancake was so delicious too.

Fantastic restaurant. Been going there for over 30 years when I visit family In Monterey. Was originally called „First Watch „. Great Food and lots of it. First rate service. They just moved into a new building more than twice the size of the old one and the restaurant was still packed with a 30 minute wait. Worth the visit. Be prepared tonnage lots of left overs.
Lovely place to have breakfast, and the outdoor seating is especially nice—the benches are heated! The servings are generous (2 blueberry ricotta pancakes were massive) and super tasty. Great spot for a family meal!
First time checking out this local legend of breakfast foods. Everyone liked their choice of food (including the children), the servers were nice, the atmosphere is good, and they managed to accommodate our group of 8 fairly quickly on a Federal holiday morning. Not my first choice of breakfast places in town, but will definitely return.There was a long line when we left the place, so definitely come early for your breakfast fix.Noteworthy mention: ample parking and a huge outdoor seating area.
Got the crab cake eggs benedict. It came out super wonderful and nice. Very delicious ?Also got the Country Fried steak and eggs. Food was a decent amount and tasted good. It was just so busy that we had a longer wait time until they came to take our order. Other than that, it was a nice experience
I took my mom to Pacific Grove for a vacation and decided to try this place for breakfast one morning. I am so glad we did. Its a very nice and clean place. They have both indoor and outdoor seating.The restaurant was very clean and the staff kind and very attentive. We sat down and browsed the menu.I decided to order the 2 eggs and meat breakfast for 13.29 on May 18th 2022. It comes with the choice of bacon...turkey sausage...ham or pork sausage...honestly potatoes 2 eggs cooked the way you like them and an English muffin.The bacon was crispy and absolutely delicious...the eggs over medium...the potatoes and muffin I like cooked extra. The entire breakfast was simply delicious...My mom ordered an omelet. I do not remember which one. She thought it was good. She did not like the potatoes that much...she said there is an herb in them that is overbearing.Overall...I would definitely come here again..
We waited 40 minutes to be seated but it was well worth the wait. The food was outstanding. Even though they have a large queue, they are operationally very efficient and are doing their best to manage the crowd. We had the eggs Benedict and ham avocado crepe. It was delicious.Portion sizes are large and satisfying.They serve it with pepper plant sauce. You can also buy the sauce from the reception counter for $5 if you are interested.
Delicious breakfast. Wide selection of your favorite eggs made with their special signature. There are other dishes & sandwiches you can choose from. Service is very good. Car parking available. Location close to the Wharf & other Monterey attractions
Food was okay. Corned beef hash side portion hardly came with meat. It's more appropriate to call it potato hash. The pancake was a bit crumby. The mushroom caps are too buttery for my liking.Staff are very warm and accomodating. The place is huge and clean.I will try other dishes next time.
Very nice restaurant with a pleasant large outdoor patio. Service was efficient, we visited on Wednesday at 8 am and were seated right away. Food was good but my hash browns were too greasy and my omelet was flat and a little overcooked, loved the many choices of pancakes offered.
