Stopped by to do guys brunch with my kiddo. All the food here is amazing. The oatmeal was a decent texture for my kiddo. I tried a bit of everything, and it was all top-notch. The staff here seeing a pre toddler treated him so well and was good with him. I thought the biscuits would be interesting. The gravy seemed a bit thinner. It wasn't lacking flavor and was really good. With the texture of the biscuits being flaky it allowed for a unique absorption that allowed for crunch and gooey biscuit goodness. It's definitely worth a try. I also like one thing here in particular. They don't over season their food. Most breakfast places go way to heavy on the salt.... Hailey and Carla have made an amazing business here, and it truly is a great staple for Morro Bay.
Great food, great staff in a pretty local restaurant. We shared and tried a few different menu options, everything was pretty good. They serve traditional American breakfast with eggs, pancakes, omelettes and fruits. The service was awesome and lovely. The restaurant is perfectly located in Morro Bay and was just across the street from our hotel.
Great little place for breakfast. The menu is huge and so are the meals. Combine this with a quick and friendly service and you get the ideal start into a day exploring Morro Bay. Be sure to try the muffins!
Carla’s Country Kitchen and Gift Shop is a gem! The Eggs Benedict here is stellar—honestly, the best I’ve ever had. The flavors were spot on, and the portion size was perfect. The service was quick and friendly, making the experience all the more enjoyable. Plus, the gift shop adds a charming touch, filled with cute items you’ll want to take home. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!
Mouthwatering food, EVERY TIME! Anything on the menu and every time you will have a fabulous meal served by amazing humans such as Ms. Sienna who was my delightful waitress who was just great energy and kindness! Sue made sure my coffee was topped off and almost had to get a wheelbarrow to take me back to my car….Geesh! I did it again and ate too much! I ordered the two pork chops with two eggs over medium crispy, crunchy country fried potatoes with the biscuits and gravy and a black coffee. Of course, the green Cholula. I’m drooling right now and so sad I’m almost 4 hours away, but totally look forward to coming back in a couple months for another amazing dining experience with employees like Sienna and cooks in the back turning out that kind of delicious food. Mr. Vido and I will gladly be back and continue spending our money there! Thank you Sienna and fantastic cooks
Carla’s was busy in the morning but were ready for it. Has plenty of seating indoors and out. The staff were quick to get us seated and our waitress met us in a fast manner. She took our order and within 10 minutes our food was out even though the restaurant was busy. I was quite impressed with how smooth it went. Definitely would eat here again when visiting.
Jeremy took care of us today, he was great! Food also amazing, definitely recommend the seafood Benedict.
Amazing food! Reasonable prices. Friendly service. Sienna was amazing!
