The Village Restaurant

One of my go to’s for breakfast/lunch in Salinas! Great service and hidden gem so no waiting for a table. My favorites are the eggs Benedict! The sauce is amazing and an AMAZING choice to have crab cakes in an eggs Benedict. Never seen that anywhere 😍

What a great hidden gem in Salinas that never fails to disappoint! They have really good seafood dishes at reasonable prices along with their cinnamon French toast! Yum.

The Village is my Dad's favorite local restaurant for breakfast! His favorite is the Rodeo...blueberry pancakes, two bacon, two eggs and fruit. Mine is their BLT with extra bacon! The atmosphere is very loving and Gabby and her husband Jose are so inviting. We have been eating there for over 20 years!
This morning my Dad had his second favorite breakfast Biscuit and Gravy. They also have GREAT Margaritas and I LOVE their Shrimp Bruschettas!

My favorite place to have breakfast in town! The food is delicious, and prices are affordable. The owners and staff are so nice and attentive too. I highly recommend!

Wow! What a gem of a restaurant. We came for lunch after an appt at Natividad hospital. Had the clam chowder and lobster ravioli. Both were perfectly tasty and filling. Our server is the owner and she is a rockstar...so kind and generous. We'll be back!

I'm in town visiting family. My sister wanted to go out for a Valentine's outing.
She suggested a restaurant that I won't mention. Instead I made reservations at The Village. We ordered Fettuccini Alfredo with Blackened shrimp. Lobster Ravioli, & Seafood Monterey Combo plate. You could taste how fresh everything was. Fresh, good quality food and reasonable prices, especially in today's crazy economy. Skip the "franchise restaurants"' come here for high quality food that wasn't previously frozen! The food is delicious. You're always greeted with a warm friendly smile. This place never misses!!!🙏

In our quest to find the perfect breakfast restaurant in Monterey County we ended up here. I think this perhaps the closest we've gotten.

The service was all fantastic. They had 3 different people all helping us as needed, whom ai assume were the server, buser and manager. All of them were friendly and attentive. Kept our drinks full and timed helping us perfectly.

Ordering the food was great because we have quite a few dietary restrictions, but they are pretty flexible with the sides and substitutions. A big plus for us.

Both of our meals were perfectly made. Best fritata I think I've ever had from a restaurant. Food came out quickly and hot. Delicious!

The prices were good. Not like the cheapest in the world, but for the quality of the food they are very reasonable, and better priced than many other breakfast places in the area. Think $9-12 a plate.

Good outdoor seating for covid. We will be coming back for sure. Probably favorite breakfast in Monterey County.

Update: We now go here regularly. It is our de facto breakfast place. The price for what you get is just the best in the area for sure. Great food!

The best Alfredo Fettuccine in town!!! Village have great taste and price.
Now they offering Full Liquor Bar

Over all a great experience, our server was the sweetest, food was delicious would most definitely recommend!

Instead of waiting an hour for one of the other crazy-busy breakfast spots in town, head over to The Village for a better breakfast with no wait! Outstanding service with delicious food! A wide range of traditional & creative choices - we enjoyed chilaquiles, huevos rancheros & the breakfast sampler...all were fantastic! Portions were perfectly appropriate for sharing, and we all enjoyed bites from every plate.

The Benedict was delicious, source is different than the others. Both the burger. Will come back again.

This place is 5 star in mant respects. The place is clean. The food is fresh and the service is fast, friendly, and attentive.

If you are seeking a delicious homestyle breakfast with the freshest ingredients this is the place to come. This beats corporate America hands down! Denny's and IHOP have nothing on this place.

The price is reasonable. I got the breakfast sampler. The blueberry pancakes are delicious!

The food was perfectly portioned and flavorful! Service was awesome and wait time was reasonable. Family friendly atmosphere. Would definitely stop in next time I drive through town.

This place has the best biscuits and gravy I have ever had. Taste like pure butter and sausage. Best part is it's your neighborhood restaurant. The owners know who you are. I really love this place is because I saw the best act of kindness effort. I believe she is the wife and owner of the restaurant and there was a family with a special needs adult and she remembered his order but he wanted something different and she was very patient and kept saying his name and asking him what he would like to eat and you could just tell that there's community here at this restaurant and they really appreciate their regulars and all the guests that come in. I really like it here the food's great and so is the vibe come try it out.

10/10 recommended great food. Extremely friendly staff everything was delicious.

One of our favorite places to eat lunch. Great food and awesome people.

This place has the most welcoming atmosphere ever! I highly recommend the food and the customer service experience. I can’t think of any other place in Salinas that has such welcoming energy and the owners greet you like if you are family.
10 out of 10

Excellent food. Definitely a ma-and-pa, family owned restaurant. The lady that helped us was super nice and really cared about our experience. My steak was perfectly cooked and both the steak and vegetables were tasty and really fresh (definitely not frozen which has been my experience even at really expensive restaurants). Our friend said it was one of the best quesadillas he had ever had. And the best strawberry margarita I have had in a long time. Great variety of different types of food. 5 stars!

A few new members of my team and I went out to dinner last night to celebrate winning a contract for a new project.

We had some great conversations, laughed a lot, and all enjoyed the evening.

The food was delicious. It tasted almost homemade. Service was friendly and attentive. The Village Restaurant is definitely a place we'll go back to again.

Local gem ... needed comfort food fix ...ordered my Joe's special with a cup of clam chowder...their chowder...oh Wow...good stuff 👍
service with a smile...thank you Gabby
