King City Grill - King City, California

Ok... where do I start?
The food was beyond delicious! You can tell that so much detail is put into the quality and flavor.
The service was incredible. Served by the owner who took time to talk and why the flavor was so good.
Atmosphere was so relaxing with French Soft Jazz playing and comfortable enjoyable seating.
I only wish that I lived next door...
Great Job!!!!

We were drawn in from our roadtrip by the great reviews and were not disappointed! All of the vegetables tasted incredibly fresh and I could see a crisp head of lettuce being chopped through the kitchen door opening so I know they take quality seriously. I can’t recommend the bacon wrapped dates enough, they were fabulous! The Cesar wrap was abundant and came with extra salad on the side. Not pictured: the gourmet Cobb salad that was plated beautifully but tasted too good to wait for a picture. Stop in if you’re passing by, definitely worth it! The bathrooms are also super clean and include amenities such as hand lotion and room spray.

Starving after a site visit in King City area, we found this diner after seeing the standout reviews in GMap. Spoilers: they don't lie.

In spite being a diner in the middle of nowhere, the dishes were all freshly-prepared and plated like that of higher-end restaurant. I usually don't eat big lunch and hence ordered the meaty omelette (served with potato pancake), which was pleasant and fluffy. Washed it down with a glass of root beer. According to my colleague, the Eggs Benedict was cooked to perfection, which surprised her so much in a good way. The burger also looks yum, and the patty seemed to be grilled exactly to what my other colleague wanted.

The atmosphere was nice and relaxed. It was rather empty during our visit - the locals didn't start pouring in after we finished our meals. Oh and the male waiter was very attentive (without being too intrusive) and thoughtful - ensuring us to enjoy the whole experience. Perhaps the downside is that they don't have outdoor seating or patio - the fantastic Californian weather is too nice to be wasted..

Great food. Love stopping here since food is delicious, and service is friendly. I got the Monterey Peninsula eggs benedict. My husband asked for a spinach and Portabello mushroom omelet. They were fantastic. We like to come by whenever we are in the area.

Amazing food and service in an unassuming building. This is not your typical diner. Deliciously prepared food, plated like a high-end restaurant. I had the oatmeal, served with fresh fruit, and my hubby had a Belgian waffle and a side of bacon. Both were incredible. (Yes, oatmeal can be good too!) The waffle was slightly crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, just like a Belgian waffle is supposed to be. We have been to many restaurants serving Belgian waffles that were hard. King City Grill knows how to prepare and present food which elevated the experience for us. And the service was absolutely excellent. Coffee was good as was the herbal tea (of which I was presented with a box of types to choose from). We will be back when we are in the area again. I highly recommend you give then a try too. (I promise, you won't be disappointed.😉) Oh, and they are only open from 8am to 2pm so don't miss out.

Arrived here on end of year during a road trip, expecting some great lunch as the reviews would suggest.

Took 35 mins to make me a chocolate, and close to an hour to get the food.

We ordered Panini and Breakfast Skillet - skillet was okay but I expected two strips of bacon instead of diced ones and with very little cheese. The Panini was more like white toast and cost 16+ with fries.

I regretted not going to McDonalds or KFC nearby thinking I could support local business. Well, you’ve been warned.

The food was absolutely amazing! I ordered the Monterey Peninsula Benedict with turkey, sautéed mushrooms, avocado, two poached eggs with house hollandaise sauce. The eggs were poached perfectly, the English muffin still had a nice crisp to it. And my boyfriend got the country fried steak which he really enjoyed. All together this spot is a great stop. The atmosphere is great, the owner checks in with you, brings you your food, clears your table. He is a very thoughtful and wonderful human. I highly recommend coming here for breakfast or brunch. We can’t wait to come back!
