Alice's Restaurant

Alice’s Restaurant is an awesome spot! The food is great, the service is always friendly, and the place itself has lots of cool things to check out inside if you get a table there. Sitting out back is also awesome — there are tons of benches and it’s really pretty out there. On top of that, you’ll see plenty of cool sports cars and motorcycles while you’re there. I recommend going during the week if you can, because it gets really busy on the weekends. Definitely worth checking out!

A local favorite mountain top escape, with a laid-back 1960s vibe, Alice‘s Restaurant satisfies customers on many levels. Breakfast and lunch menu from opening until 5 PM when the dinner menu kicks in. Enjoy a meal in the Santa Cruz mountains with redwoods towering overhead and a cute little pond next-door. Tons of outdoor and covered seating. Gas heaters upon request or when it’s cold. More limited amount of seating fully indoors. There’s also a little gas station next to the restaurant.

A lively and happening spot, often crowded with bikers and weekend visitors. You’ll need to order before grabbing a seat. The food is decent overall, but the buffalo wings stand out as a must-try. Staff are polite and friendly, keeping the busy vibe welcoming.

Hands down one of our fave mountain spots to grab breakfast after a solid ride on the bike. We always love coming back here—the owner’s super chill and welcoming, and the staff is really friendly too. The food’s bomb, big portions, total homemade vibes. Prices are fair, and honestly, nothing beats having breakfast outside surrounded by nature. It’s a must-stop every time we hit the road on the motorcycle.

Self serve, everything clean, food was ready fast. One thing I noticed was that the raw onion tasted like it was cut on a clean cutting board and knife. Often at restaurants the salad will taste like just a hint of fish like they didn't completely follow a separation of cutting boards in the kitchen, but Alice's had very clean tasting onions. Sandwich was tasty but .... It was shit "Texas style BBQ brisket". So instead of 5/5 more like a 4.5/5 place, wouldn't mind going again. The meat was tough and cut across the grain. Instead of slices it was strips more like very thick sailor's rope. It came with a small stash of potato chips that seemed like they were cut and dried in house which was excellent and you can tell they were good fresh potatoes.... Some other restaurants of the same price point have certainly served me potato fries with some molded ends. Small plastic container of cole slaw was very decent. I heard the burger and the kale salad was good from my friends. Their vegetarian meat burger was beyond rather than impossible and imo that's the worse option.

Every trip to SFO requires a stop at this fabulous restaurant. The whole family loves the pies and chill ambiance. We usually just sit in the back with amazing views of a creek and the hills. Even the bathrooms are well maintained and clean even though its a very busy place. We had 3 different pies with Vanilla ice cream. Boysenberry was by far the best. Next was Apple Pie and then Chocolate Pecan Pie. Mudd Pie was so good we brought one home to NJ! Don't forget to hangout and watch some really nice cars and bikes.

Went on a Saturday mid day, bright and sunny outside. A lot of cool cars parked outside. Waited about 10 min in line and we got our food within 10 minutes. Place was packed for sure and I was impressed in the time that we got our food. Will for sure be coming back again.

We visited for brunch on a Saturday around 10:40am. Parking in the area can be challenging as many motorcycles and fancy old cars are often parked nearby. We were able to park in a gravel pullout on CA 84 just before the intersection and gas station. The line outside looked long, but luckily it moved fast (about a 10 min wait) as you order at the front and then find seating. There was an outdoor patio and plenty of picnic table and regular table seating in the back. We ordered coffee, a mimosa, and 2 potato benedicts. You're given a buzzer to know when your food and drinks are ready and everything is self serve so you need to pick it up by the kitchen. Drinks were ready almost immediately, and the food was ready in about 12 mins. The potato benedict had a good flavor, but I thought the portion size was a little small for the price and was not a fan of the excessive green onions throughout. A lot of tables nearby had breakfast burritos, and I was getting a little food envy seeing them. Great atmosphere being among the Redwood trees.

Came here last Thursday at about 4:30 with my dog and mother-in-law. We all had a great time. Came back again today at about 6:15. Much more crowded. Next time, we will arrive earlier. Ordered food and drink, claimed a picnic table, then listened to the Thursday live music offering. Food was ready in a reasonable amount of time, all things considered. Drinks (beer and margarita) ended up taking 30 more minutes. I stood waiting for half of that time, assured by the staff repeatedly that "they are making them". I could clearly see the bartender and he was definitely NOT making them. I was annoyed so, after 30 minutes, I asked to speak to the manager. He came out just after the drinks finally arrived, apologized, and offered to comp the entire meal. I thought that was overly generous but I decided not to say anything. A few minutes later, he came out, apologized for the new bartender, and gave me a receipt showing that he had comp'ed meal. I would have been happy if he had just comp'ed the drinks. I decided that, at least, I owed him a good review of the restaurant. The food is consistently excellent (been here many times over the years), the bar offerings are extensive, the outdoor seeing is expansive, and the vibe is great. I highly recommend this place for families, couples, and dogs.

Having seen it on my way to hikes, I've long been curious about Alice's restaurant. And on my second attempt, we made it! The first time I was going to visit, my friend had called me from Alice's Restaurant's parking lot, letting me know that it's completely congested (inside the parking lot!!!), and suggested we meet elsewhere. On my second visit, while the parking lot was still quite full, we lucked out with another customer leaving, and parked right by the entrance to the restaurant. Pro-tip: folks at the restaurant let us know that there're plenty of parking spots nearby on Skyline. Food here is decent; it's your typical American fare, with pizzas, salads, burgers, etc. We especially enjoyed the pizza! The vibe is causal as others have said, where you walk up to the cashier, place you order, then head to a table of your choosing with your #, and the staff will bring you the food when ready. What makes Alice's Restaurant really special are the people, the charm and beauty of the restaurant and surrounding areas. Owners and brothers Jamie & Andy stopped by separately to say hello and chatted with us briefly; they made us feel welcome and at ease with the place. They both seem super down-to-earth and friendly! In addition to seating areas on the deck and inside the restaurant, there're lots of tables in the back of the restaurant, amongst the tall redwood trees. There's live music two nights per week too. I can see why so many people rave about this spot! While I probably won't make a trip specifically to come eat here, I'll definitely return when we hike in the many neighboring parks (e.g. Windy Hill, El Corte de Madera, etc.)!

Great stop for motorists and Palo Alto visitors looking to fill their itinerary with something unique. The restaurant's casual ambience paired with the surrounding scenery offer a very relaxed experience. Having tried several of their breakfast and lunch dishes, the food is consistently better than expected given its ambience/setting. The portions are quite filling, so it's best to order and plan your departure accordingly, as only windy roads access this location.

The ambience is just incredible, with the lovely picnic style seating outside surrounded by tall evergreens, and overhead string lighting. Loved the live music on the friday evening we visited. The staff were cordial and welcoming. You order at the entrance counter and recieve a buzzer for when food is ready to be picked up at the same counter. I was very excited about the wagyu beef burger, it missed the flavor margin. The kale salad was yummy. Will come back again to try other food options

Busy busy!! If there's more than one person in your party I advise one stay in line to order and one find a table. It's first come first serve for tables. We had nachos with chicken, California turkey melt and Brie and pear pizza. All were great!! The pizza was a stand out, we devoured it! Note the different menus on weekends vs weekdays and enjoy!

This was our first time visiting, and we were a little confused at first about how the whole process worked. When we arrived, there was a line of about 20 people outside, which we assumed was for seating but it turns out that's actually where you place your order before heading in to find a table. Luckily, the line moved fairly quickly, and they have large menus posted outside so you can browse and be ready to order by the time you reach the front. One thing I wasn't a big fan of was having to pay and tip upfront before knowing what the service would be like. They did have a cash tip jar as well, so I held off on tipping with my card and decided to leave a cash tip later based on our experience and I'm glad I did. Once we placed our order, we were pleasantly surprised to find that there was tons of seating available inside, out on the patio, and around plenty of picnic tables, even though it was a busy Saturday afternoon. We were handed a pager, and as soon as we sat down, it buzzed. I went up to the pickup area and found it was just our drinks, so I headed back to the table. About 10 minutes later, the pager went off again and I went back to grab our meals. I had a classic cheeseburger and chips. It was simple but really well done, the burger was juicy, and the bun was great. As we were eating, I noticed that while most people picked up their food like I did, some tables were getting food delivered to them. Not sure what the system is there, but it seemed a little inconsistent. That said, there were staff roaming around checking on guests and offering drink refills, which was a nice touch. Everyone we encountered was super friendly, working hard, and had great attitudes. It made me feel good about leaving a proper tip at the end. The setting was really charming, surrounded by woods and a small body of water. It had a relaxed, almost rustic vibe that made the whole experience feel unique and memorable. Definitely worth a visit, just go in knowing the setup is a little different!

We took the RV (and motorcyclea) up to Carmel/Monterey for the weekend and went for a ride up through Woodside, CA with a stop at Alice's Restaurant for lunch. The parking lot was crowded and it seemed like a long line to get in, but things moved quickly. I ordered the BLT with homemade chips while my buddy (Matt) ordered the Albacore Tuna Melt with homemade chips and a side of onion rings. Meal was very tasty and filling. Good choices for sure. Service was on point, friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely going back the next time we are in the area.

Expected so much more! This roadside restaurant is nestled within the redwoods of the Santa Cruz Mountains. There is an order station as soon you walk up the deck. They have an extensive menu to order breakfast, lunch or dinner with a good local beer menu. Plenty of seating on the deck and out in the back. It provides a great place to hang out and eat amongst nature. The service was helpful and fast. They brought out our food to the back area, despite giving us a buzzer to go pick up our food. Not sure why they hand those out if they aren't used. We ordered the Jalopy Burger. This was a good burger but there is a lot of bun. The bun was very dense. It comes with homemade chips that were overcooked and lack taste. We ordered the plain fries, that name is accurate. Again over cooked and no seasoning. Finally, we ordered the Pulled Pork sandwich based on the servers recommendation. The pork was extremely dry! We had to dump all the BBQ sauce on it to moistin it a bit. The same bun as the burger. Same overcooked chips. The cole slaw was good, not to much sauce. We did like the experience of sitting in the back yard area and eating, just wish the food was better.

Alice's is tucked away and feels like you're deep in the forest once you're seated among the trees. They have a great variety in their menu included vegan and vegetarian options. The ambiance is the best part in my opinion, especially if you choose to sit outside.

Alexa was so super sweet - the buzzer wasn't working, so she came to give me my order at the back. If you want to feast you eyes on some fancy cars and catch up with friends, this is the place to go. Nestled in Woodside amongst the tall trees and windy roads. The food is fresh and tasty - save room for dessert - the best sticky toffee is available here!!

Went here on a weekend and as always, it's packed with hikers, car enthusiasts, and motorcycle riders. Parking is a bit tough here, especially during lunch time. They have plenty of seating in the back though which is great. I got the fish burger and also had fries and sweet potato fries. The fish burger was one of the best I've had yet. The fish was nicely portioned and very well cooked and seasoned. Would give it 9/10. I think for me, pickled onions would have paired better with the burger. The fries and sweet potato fries were also good. They were crispy and I enjoyed dipping it in their sauce. The sauce had a little kick to it but hits just right.

Came here on Sunday afternoon after a nearby hike at Wunderlich Park. There are some parking spots in front of the restaurant, but I took the last one at the time, so you might need to look for a spot. Lots of vintage sports cars and motorcycles, so be careful parking! When we first arrived, we were honestly pretty confused. There's a table out front where you have to order from, and since it does get pretty busy, there was a pretty long line to order. At first, we thought the line was for takeout orders only, but we soon realized it was for actual orders. We waited for about 15 minutes in the line. Be mindful that the weather can get cold, so bring some layers! They have heat lamps on the patios but not near the lines. I ordered Alice's omelette, while my friend ordered the Steak and eggs, as well as a Diet Coke (they don't have Coke Zero, much to her dismay. But she noted that the Diet Coke was some of the crispiest Diet Cokes she's had at a restaurant, much to her happiness!). After you order, you get a buzzer and can seat yourself while waiting for your food. We found seating indoors (very rustic cabin vibe) right away, and it was very warm inside. But you can sit outdoors and admire the trees and nature around you as well. It took around 10 minutes for our food to be ready, which we picked up at the window on the patio. The food came very warm, and we were so excited to dig in. My omelette was a great consistency, although I wasn't the biggest fan of the ingredients falling out while I was eating it (the egg was thinner on the bottom). However, I enjoyed the flavor combination, as well as the side of potatoes and biscuit. My friend noted her medium steak and sunny side up eggs were to die for! The steak was a large size and was juicy. The eggs were amazing as well, and it was her first time having eggs that weren't scrambled (crazy, I know!). It served to be a good egg selection, as she was to able to dip her steak, biscuit, and potatoes in the egg yolk. She did a happy dance as she ate :). Overall, despite the initial confusion, we were very glad to have eaten at Alice's. It was the perfect way to wrap up our outdoor hiking adventure. My friends had recommended the breakfast burrito and pancakes, which we would love to come back and try, along with the eggs benedict!

Fun spot on Skyline - tricky to find parking given how busy everything is, so plan accordingly. Also popular spot for a motorcycle stop, so plenty of background noise. I ordered a Le Mans burger, which was cooked medium rare as I requested, and was quite tasty. The staff were also very friendly, and we were able to sit outside with our dog. Was the food amazing? No, but a fun outing and nice vibe overall!

The food and service here are pretty good. My husband enjoyed his burger and the chicken sandwich was pretty good. We didn't really like the garlic fries because they were oily and the raw garlic taste was too much. The outside seating area is so pretty though.

The owners are two awesome brothers (Jaime and Andy!) who make this place extra special. They are super cool, chill, funny and provide outstanding service with incredible attention to detail. The steak sandwich, wild mushroom pizza, burgers, nachos, and pies are very tasty to name a few. Portion sizes are generous and I really appreciate how this place is open all day! Please go and try their delicious breakfast too!

Have you ever had Banana Bread French Toast? OMG I had never had it until we went to Alice's Restaurant. Do not forget to top it with strawberries and bananas! It was out of this world- no kidding. Best breakfast and I am not a breakfast person. My mouth is watering just thinking about that breakfast. It was ready so quickly. We sat outside and our way and coffee was always full. This is a fun special spot.

Been coming here for years now. But now w/Charlie the Challenger, it's a great drive to come to Alice's, say hello to the bikers and auto enthusiasts, and to strangers that are visiting or just stopping in to grab a bite to eat. The experience here - never a dull moment. From the hostess, servers, just the entire staff in general are great. The food is delicious so there you go - come on in to experience Alice's. You'll love it here =D

Love this restaurant. Great place for brunch, especially after a morning hike. This place is a magical place to stop by when in the mountains. Great outdoor & indoor seating. Great service. Wonderful food. Amazing vibe! Steak is also amazing here. A lot of parking as well, but this place gets really busy so be prepared for a wait and a line but it's well worth it! 10/10 recommend.

I love this place. First of all, the food here is really good. The breakfast here is tasty, I especially love the Benedicts and my go to is that cowboy Benedict with the egg and homemade corned-beef. The service here is super friendly, the people here always make sure you're taken care of. The ambiance? Unmatched. If you love cars, come here in the morning especially in the weekends and you'll be sure to spot some amazing rides. The drive here alone is already amazing as it is. I highly recommend this place.

Drove by this place so many times heading to fishing trips on Highway 84 that I lost count! I've been here twice since, in the last two months. Every time it has not disappointed. The first go-around I got the chicken pesto sandwich which was incredibly delicious with tender and well-roasted chicken. The second go-around I picked up their steak sandwich which was ordered to medium doneness and came with some crispy onion rings as well. I've tried their mud pie as well as a number of the non alcoholic drinks and really liked all of those too! I really can't complain about anything here -- my recommendation would be to go outside to the back picnic area and take in the surrounding forest views while enjoying your meal. One could also admire some of the exotic vehicles parked outside as this place is frequented by exotic car and motorcycle enthusiasts. Seating is never a problem and service is super quick and efficient -- you get a buzzer and they let you know via buzzer when to pick up your order. I plan on making this a regular part of my routine whenever I pass by on 84!

Excellent food and e en better customer service many you go to these places with out door dining and the service stops at the door exit ..but at Alice's it's exceeds all expectation while dining outside in the patio area there was a constant serve attention across the board 5 stars for the staff

Tons of outdoor seating tucked into the woods this classic spot is a great road trip stop. We enjoyed homemade pie a la mode and some burgers. The burgers were okay and the chips thick but the pie was so yummy! You order at the front and grab the number buzzer and then sit down and wait for your food to be picked up.

Roadside type of restaurant in the hills. It's self serve at the counter and you pick up the order when it's ready. They have some beers, bbq, breakfast and more. They have some indoor seating and benches outside. I tried the pulled pork sandwich it was ok. It was a fun place to get together with friends.

On a Saturday morning you can imagine how popular Alice's can get. There is a long line but they are fast with their service. You order at the front and then find a table. Once your buzzer buzzes you go to a counter to get the food. Good breakfast options. Omelette is what you would expect. Corned beef hash is from their own corned beef. The corned beef came in little cubes, which is not what I was expecting. Expected shredded hash. I will try something else next time. Overall good option with friendly service. Kudos to the kitchen for cranking out food so fast.

Alice's Restaurant is my favorite place to escape to! Surrounded by Redwoods and forest, it's a whimsical diner that offers so many options! I love going here after a hike or whenever I want to feel like I need to get away. Perfect place for contemplating and ruminating. Coming here alone, coming here with friends, doesn't matter. Food and service is amazing as well. Does get a little busy, it's a very popular place (as expected).

I've made a fun-filled habit of driving any new car I get (which isn't often, I'll have to admit) from where I live down Highway 1 with a left on Highway 84 and up to Skyline where Alice's Restaurant sits. The best way I can describe the ambiance here is "forest lodge meets diner". :-) This is absolutely my kinda vibe! Since I hadn't visited in a while, I noticed the outdoor seating is now covered with tent tarps with propane heaters to keep guests warm. There's indoor seating as well, but hey, if they offer outdoor heated seating, I'm takin' it! :-) The other difference I noticed is that I now order from a counter outside instead of being offered a menu like my previous visit (quite a few years ago). No problem. The food and drink was brought out in short order, too. Since my new car is a BMW, I obviously ordered their BMW Burger. ;-) Absolutely DELISH, and one of the tallest-stacked burgers I've ever eaten. Comes with a side of the thickest, crunchiest potato chips I think I ever had. Do they make their own? I need to ask next time I'm down there. Well, my most recent visit with my new car has now inspired me to visit a LOT more than just every time I get a new car! I should turn this into a monthly thing and start trying other items in their very expansive menu.

I've been coming to Alice's periodically for 30 years, ever since I lived here and now every couple of years when I'm back in the area visiting. I hate that Alice's has lost that rustic charm it had before it set up the fast food-like ordering desk and the white tents out front. This was fine during Covid, but it's lost the charm and hospitality that it had pre-Covid, and I'd love to see it restored. I suspect others feel the same.

This is such a beautiful place to have lunch after a nice hike or a cruise through the hills. Lots of scenic areas and nice cars. A nice escape away from the city. The food is actually pretty good. The line may look long because you're ordering first before sitting, but there's lots of seats. Definitely would come back.

My boyfriend had been telling me about Alice's Restaurant for quite some time. He's been there a few times before, so he took me one weekend for lunch. It's nestled in the woods of Woodside, there was a long line outside of people waiting for a table. Fortunately, I found out that they have a bar in the back that is first-come-first-served. I snagged us a couple of seats at the bar, so we didn't have to wait at all to eat which was great! We both ordered the Jalopy Burger which has BBQ sauce, bacon, jalapeno, grilled onion, and jack. It tasted great, it was huge too, so it lasted more than one meal. They have an outdoor space where you can enjoy your food and the views of the redwoods.

My new favorite spot!!! Everything here was sooooo good. Loved the food and the root beer float we got for dessert. It was so lovely to be seated in a cozy bar with views of redwoods and fresh mountain air. The servers and bartenders were super nice too :) Will definitely be back many times!!

Ah, Alice's, a special place in my heart. I've been coming here for over 15 years. So many memories and good times here especially if you're into cars. Funnily enough I haven't written a review yet. I usually get the jalopy, hold the jalapeño, extra ranch and Mayo on the side, with a small side of garlic fries. Love you Alice's, you've always got my heart.

What a great happy accident! We were headed to the Mountain House and it was closed on Mondays. We decided to continue down Skyline Blvd. to see where we'd end up as we aren't from around here. We stumbled on Alice's and decided to try it out. We walked up and rhwres a place to order at the counter. The guy working the counter said if you'd be interested, our dinner specials start at 5:00. (It was 4:50) We decided to head to the bar and wait to order dinner. Great suggestion from the counter guy! My husband tried a few IPA's and brisket sandwich. He thoroughly enjoyed both. I had an Aperol Spritz and the special which was teriyaki beef kabobs. Both were excellent. We sat at the bar and Michele was our bartender. She was fabulous. Super friendly with great menu suggestions. It was still light out when we were leaving and she suggested we check out the Methusela Tree up the road, which we did. What a fabulous happy accident. We're only in town for the month but look forward to many more trips to Alice's before we leave. Thanks Michele!

We've stumbled on a new tradition of getting our tree in the parking lot then getting dinner here! The staff was super friendly and the food was yummy and nicer than I was expecting for this roadside spot!

The last time I was here was almost 20 years ago. It wasn't new then and has expanded significantly since then. Its atmosphere makes it worth the drive up Woodside Road.The service is excellent. The food is ok.

Always the best!!! Food atmosphere and service! Super dog friendly! However this time Jack C. Was exceptionally great at the front register! Very polite and kind. He also went above and beyond to try and have the merchandise store opened for us! Thank u again jack! CHEERS!

Sadly Alice's restaurant still hasn't returned to its pre-covid glory. Table service is still non-existent and they have awkward order and pick-up tables cluttering the restaurant. Yet they'll still ask you for an 18-25% tip at check-out, even before you've received your food and beverages. I liked this place a lot more when the tips were justified by good table service.

To start if I ask what fruit is in the FRESH fruit bowl today... and I am told blueberries kiwi mango strawberries...imagine getting grapes strawberries and tiny chips of unripe melon and chips of kiwi...is making a fruit bowl and staff knowing whats in it and how to cut fruit ROCKET SCIENCE now!?!? Food and Service need help now...It is so tragic to see iconic restaurants become less than...nothing has been good in this last year, dishes come with unexpected changes to classics like a club is NOT on a ciabatta roll...and servers spill things and don't clean up so I can see everyone walking through the mush, but servers don't come back to your table to see if you want to add something more?!?! I love to see young people working BUT only if management TRAINS them

What a unique find. We were on the way to Big Sur and this was a most perfect stop. Everyone was so nice. You order before you go in. You can take out, sit outside on the tables on a large property or eat inside. It is a place to take in and stroll. The food was high quality and very delicious. Everything from the kale salad, I got, and the eggs and omelets my dining partners got were wonderful. I wish I lived closer because I would go every week.

The workers were supper nice and let us take our time when ordering. They have inside and outside sitting, we sat outside. It was nice and aesthetic. It probably looks way better in the afternoon. The food was tasty and filling.

We came to Alice's on July 22nd with a large group and had a lovely meal -- great food, beautiful setting -- but unfortunately, the experience was completely overshadowed by the way we were treated afterward by a staff member. While in the back garden area, my 2-year-old son found a glass that had been left out from the night before. Within seconds, he threw it and it broke. I was about 10 feet away and got to him as quickly as I could, but I'm currently pregnant and wearing a boot for a foot fracture, which limits my mobility. Instead of responding with understanding or professionalism, the bartender Michelle approached me in a confrontational, judgmental way -- asking, "What kind of kid stomps on glass?" and questioning where I was. I calmly explained the situation, including my current physical limitations, and her response was simply that I should have prevented it. She then told me she has a daughter who would never break a glass and continued to speak to me in a condescending and dismissive tone. It felt clear that we were being judged for having children with us, and we left feeling embarrassed and deeply unwelcome. Our group had spent a considerable amount and expected at least basic respect from staff. Mistakes happen -- a child finding a glass that shouldn't have been left outside overnight shouldn't lead to public shaming. I followed up by emailing the manager, Taylor, hoping for some acknowledgment or follow-up. As of now, I've received no response. I'm sad to say we won't be returning, and I hope no other families have to experience this kind of treatment at what should be a welcoming and family-friendly place.

This place was packed, came here after lunch hours and thought it wouldn't be that bad. Long line to order food. We got burgers and poppers. The burgers were good...nothing mind blowing. I ended up putting hot sauce on it chips were decent. The poppers were really good! I'd get those again. I guess for the area it's a cool spot to stop by but I would drive out of my way to try it. Maybe breakfast options are better?

We came to Alice's for Valentine's Day dinner! The place was decorated with flowers and a special menu was available. There was live music and it is definitely a small getaway away from the city. The drinks were yummy and entrees gave rustic vibes. I especially loved the soup! We did have to wait for about 30 minutes for our table with reservation so I would plan for some leniency with your reservation time!

Post chestnut picking, we all came by to Alice's to try out the food. I got the brisket, and it was pretty dry, so it was difficult to enjoy. My SO made the better decision and got a juicy burger.

Alice's is one of those places that doesn't matter the time of day, or the day, you can expect a beautiful view and welcoming feeling. I'm a big fan of their outdoor seating since you are able to get a bit of nature and enjoy the lake right in front. Their burgers are phenomenal! I have gotten the BMW and would highly recommend. My last outing here was for my birthday and they even offered a complimentary dessert. Great folk, great spot, great food.

absolutely loved my cheeseburger! they have a lot of sandwich, burger, and meat options. the homemade chips were so good! i sat outside and it was a beautiful day! there are heaters available if it gets cold. i went with a friend around 2:30 PM on a Tuesday (Earth day) and there was no line at all! great customer service too - very friendly! i can't wait to go back!

This place is really cool. Sits right at a big intersection near multiple hikes and parks. You go to the front to get your order in. When we asked about their specialty, they Said hamburgers. So we ordered a black bean burger that came with avocado and veggies, a cheese burger and a regular burger. All came with chips. You get a number and await the buzz. It took about 10 minutes. In the meantime, we sat outside on a shaded table enjoying the great weather. The yard is lovely. I highly recommend sitting out there. I had the black bean burger, which was wonderful. For vegetarians they also have an impossible burger too. So there are plenty of options for all. The bun was great and everything was fresh. I didn't care for the chips much. Overall, worth the stop!

- Ambience: The space is huge, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, plus lots of parking right in front of the restaurant. Since it's winter, outdoor seating was closed, so I grabbed a table inside. You order outside by standing in line, get a buzzer, and pick up your food from the counter when it's ready. The rustic vibe feels super disconnected from the city--exactly what I needed! - Food: I ordered an omelet with house potatoes and bread. The house potatoes were delicious, but the omelet could've been better. I'm excited to try other menu items next time I visit. - Service: The staff was extremely friendly, attentive, and respectful, which made the experience even better. Bonus;This place is a hotspot for car and motorcycle enthusiasts, so you can admire some cool, exotic vehicles parked outside!

The customer service mother's day morning was good. We ended up getting a table and had space for the kids to play. The location is hella out of the way, but I get why people go there. I had friends who visited there before and told me I should go. The food we ordered was decent, everyone enjoyed their meal. The small gas station was cute as well. It was enjoyable. I get why people come here, because the ambiance is pretty cool. It get's crowded fast, so go early.

Weathered the Pineapple Express to try out my namesake restaurant & apparently others had the same idea, since it was crowded. But there was plenty of seating with patio heaters & we were able to stay dry. My steak sandwich came with chips but also ordered sweet potato fries & onion rings to share with others in my party. The steak was medium rare, just the way I ordered it & was quite hefty; more of a steak plate vs a steak sandwich. A very filling lunch & it was nice to get away from the city & be in the redwoods.
