We stopped here for lunch this Sunday and we were pleasantly surprised. The place is nice, well maintained, clean, nestled among redwoods and the outdoor patio seating has beautiful views of creek and trees. We reached around 1.30 pm and the place wasn’t over crowded at that time. People working there were nice and warm. We chose indoor seating, which was quiet and pleasant, exactly what we wanted that day. We ordered fries and garden veggie burgers which came with a side of salad. We had one of the most delicious ‘vegetarian burgers’ after a very long time. Highly recommend if you are near Big Sur.

The Big Sur Roadhouse was a fabulous breakfast treat! I was warmly greeted as I walked in, they explained the process for ordering. I had a cozy seat by the fireplace overlooking the garden. I observed a hummingbird in the tree and several.Stellar Jay’s, one playing in the water fountain. From the lovely ambience to the best French toast I have had, and I love breakfast. It is a place worth stopping at and across the road is a grocery to stock your supplies. If I ever make it back to the area, will definitely be stopping again.

The joint has to be taken in the context of its location to be truly appreciated. The wifi is particularly useful as cell reception is weak or nonexistent in that area from all major carriers. The outside seating is trendy and offers good views, weather permitting. Food and service are rudimentary due to staffing issues, a common hurdle in the area.

Cozy quiet and stylish. We only had 2 breakfast there and only coffee with donuts. Little blue tailed birds were so pretty and singing around….

Gorgeous place to have breakfast or brunch with fresh, local ingredients! Great coffee and cozy outdoor area. Cell phone service is not great down Hwy 1, but it’s located conveniently right off the main road so you won’t miss it. Will come back again!

Stylish yet relaxed — the perfect Big Sur dining experience. Big Sur Roadhouse blends local charm with a fresh, modern twist, offering California-inspired dishes that celebrate the region’s ingredients and laid-back vibe. The menu is creative without being pretentious, and the atmosphere — all wood, stone, and natural light — makes you feel instantly at home among the redwoods. Whether you’re stopping for brunch, a leisurely lunch, or a glass of wine by the fire, this is one of those places that captures the essence of Big Sur: warm, welcoming, and quietly unforgettable.

Hidden gem on Highway 1. Dining options include indoor and picnic/lounge areas in front and back. Oh man, the pulled pork was good (has coles slaw) and shoe string fries are excellent. Beer options include a couple of taps and bottles/cans.

Big Sur Roadhouse turned out to be an incredible hidden gem for lunch! While the drive along Highway 1 means losing cell service for a bit, the restaurant is easy to spot right off the main road—no GPS needed. I arrived around noon on a Saturday, and while other nearby spots were packed, there was still plenty of parking and open tables here. At first, the lack of a crowd made me hesitant, but wow, was I in for a treat!
The food was out of this world. I ordered the Roadhouse burger with a side of fries, and both were absolutely phenomenal—easily some of the best I’ve ever had. The wait time was short, the setting was peaceful and surrounded by beautiful trees, and the staff couldn’t have been more welcoming.
Next time I’m in the area, there’s no question—I’ll be stopping by again. I seriously can’t recommend this place enough!
