Super cute place. Went in with my boyfriend on the way back home (he loves this place) and we tried the platter, giant burger, and pasta. Everything was delicious and we CLEARED our plates. Service was great and the quiet ambience made it such a cozy vibe. Would definitely recommend if you love artichokes!

always have to come get my deep fries artichokes. so crunchy and delicious. service is always great. restaurant side rely nice setting.

I love this place!!! As a kid I came here all the time. My extended family used to live in Castroville and we would come and visit when I was young 8-12. I moved away about 15 years ago out of state and moved back earlier this year and was wondering if they made it through the COVID drama. I decided to come by last week when I was in the area and ordered a 1/2 order of fried artichoke hearts and a BLT! Man what a wonderful lunch it was. The service was great though the building looks a little run down after all these year, but who/what doesn't after 40-50 years...right? I'm just glad they are still around and still serving those fried artichoke hearts. Brings back such precious memories

Love their fried artichoke dish and it was worth stopping in here twice for that dish . Place is run down but fine for lunch. Hamburger meal is a bargain and so was breakfast.

Haven't been here in awhile, but the artichoke soup is to die for! The service was fantastic, and we were seated quickly.

We came in obviously to try the fried artichokes on our way out of town and even though it was a bit too early to eat we bought them anyway. They were so fresh and hot and really yummy, we couldn't eat them all and probably didn't need a large order but so glad we stopped in, the ladies were so welcoming and helpful. Decided to try some of their Artichoke bread too and it was moist and flavorful. Next time we will definitely come at meal time and sit and try some more of their offerings. But if you only have a little time and want a snack get the fried artichokes you won't be disappointed.

I have been wanting to come here for YEARS (literally every time I drive by on the way to Carmel) Saturday was the day! - It was oddly empty for lunchtime on a Saturday, maybe this is more of a dinner spot. I knew I wanted the artichoke (creamy version) of soup and OF COURSE some deep fried artichokes. We opted to split the small order of fried artichokes and the patty melt which comes with soup, salad or fried - we got the creamy soup. The fried artichokes were very good - they came with a sauce akin to ranch - I bet Blue cheese would have been great here - wondering if I could have asked for it? I actually added some tabasco to the sauce provided and it was infinitely better - so hot tip! I didn't have high hopes for the patty melt, and I didn't realize it until after we ordered, but the patty melt here gets great Yelp reviews! - It was really good, the patty was obviously hand formed (not frozen) - there was a decent amount of grilled onions and it was not super greasy. Perfect for a split. There was only one other table here occupied the whole time we were there. But service was friendly and fast. Just funny the door to the bathroom reminded me of that old Gary Larson cartoon "school for the gifted" where the kid is pushing on a door with a big "pull" sign...the doors to the bathroom have a door push plate installed - but also a handle to pulled open. Ha Ha - I laughed to myself.
