Alice's Restaurant

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.

They have a surprisingly delicious breakfast burrito that comes with your choice of meat (bacon, chorizo, ham), a generous amount of creamy scrambled eggs, and cheese. Comes with a side of potatoes, sour cream, salsa and guacamole. And all for a relatively reasonable price of $15. It could definitely use a touch more meat. A welcomed oasis on a long and winding drive (or a bike ride), Alice's is tucked in the middle of a dense forest where it's swaddled by redwood trees. There's also a little general store to grab some snacks, beverages and use the restroom. You come to Alice's for the vibes, not necessarily the food.

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.

We planned to stop here for a Saturday brunch, before driving the 9 freeway (9burgring?) afterward towards Santa Cruz. We were well treated, the food was good, it was fast, the location was perfect (especially are car or motorcycle lovers). The food was good, and the staff was entirely helpful and not pompous. Definitely will come back. For people who like to look and listen to rare cars, this place is a gem!

Great place to do pit stop! The environment goes between the redwoods. The service and the food are outstanding. If you want to drive on twisty roads heading to the coast or the mountains, believe me, this is the right route. If you want to have a relaxed time here, I recommend to do it during the week days. Usually weekends are pretty busy (popular place).

Great spot to hang out, especially if you're into engines and good vibes! Even though I'm not an American good lover Alice's is absolutely worth it. Very glad I came here. Super relaxed atmosphere, perfect for a weekend stop. The place is well kept, dog-friendly, and attracts a fun crowd of car and motorcycle enthusiasts. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!

Great location! Nice food and vibe. Hard to find parking on weekends. Nestled among redwoods, the outdoor seating is great. Car and bike shows happening on weekends here.

Pretty good diner food, the paninis were great, and the garlic fries were really yummy! The interior was very cute and homey, with lots of seating indoors and outdoors (heating lamps everywhere!!). The staff was so incredibly nice, very helpful and quick. Prices are a bit high but not unreasonable, and the location is great, easy place to stop in the woods.
