Popped in here the other day with friends, during a lunch ride through the hills.
This is one of those places, that you visit repeatedly over the years and just forget to review. Not sure why. Perhaps because we take such solid establishments for granted sometimes and don't truly appreciate them until they're gone.
Great location nestled among gorgeous pine trees, indoor and outdoor seating with heat lamps, pet friendly patio (Rocky loves this place) and they have Blue Moon on tap!
The only thing missing is Skip Reichert jamming on the back patio during the summer months. He could take a break from Greasewood during those sweltering hot AZ summers ;-) -

I took a nice Sunday drive with a few buddies of mine and we stopped here to grab some lunch.
The restaurant was pretty packed when we got there around 1PM and it took a little while to order and get our food. The food here is pretty good but I've definitely had better. I had the Harley burger and thoroughly enjoyed it along with my delicious side of garlic fries.
They have a pretty big menu so if you feel like "escaping" for a few hours, just take a scenic drive up here and grab some breakfast or something.
Service was really nice and attentive even though they were slammed at the time we got there. Parking was a hassle but that's expected since all the riders come hang out here during their rides. -

Went to Alice's again after a nice hike at Purisima Creek Redwoods OSR. I don't know if it's because I was feeling especially ravenous after hiking, but the food really hit the spot! There is a huge selection of burgers and I tried the BMW. Let me tell you, it was seriously one of the best burgers I've had. It was juicy without being overly soggy, the patty was cooked perfectly, and everything was wonderfully flavorful! Also had the garlic fries again and mozzarella sticks. Those were standard but enjoyed those as well.
Aside from the food, you can enjoy a nice sunset from the front of the restaurant sitting outdoors if you come at the right time. They have heat lamps at every table so it's somewhat bearable to sit outside at night in the winter time. There's also a really cute grassy backyard area behind the restaurant.
Service this time was much better than the last time. Two ladies took care of us and gave us suggestions on their most popular menu items.

This place is awesome--a real gem! Homemade pies, terrific breakfasts, special dinners on Tuesday nights, microbrews, local wines, family-owned, and dog-friendly. What could be better? Even better, they sometimes have special Facebook deals if you go to http://www.facebook.co... and hit "like."

Still a 5 star destination restaurant! I came back here again on another visit to the coast. I got the BMW burger again....that was the BEST damn bacon I have EVER had on a burger anywhere! The rest was good too. Fries are on the side so makes basically a $13 burger, but well worth it...and just the experience of being here. Tons of sport bikes and leather. The food can take awhile to come out when the place is packed...but what's the rush anyhow? Get a beer or two and add tax and tip, its around $20 a person. I'll be back.

Great place for a burger. The deck is awesome for people watching. Everyone is welcome here. Bikers, cyclists, equestrians and hikers gather here for a bite after a day in the mountains.
My hiking companion and I arrived cold, exhausted and hungry after a 9 mile hike in Purisma Creek Redwoods and left warm, refreshed and full. I had the Baja burger which comes with salsa and avocado. The burger was great but the salsa was from a jar. Ick.
Great atmosphere, reasonable food and prices, not much else around. Great place for a lazy Saturday lunch. -

Normally I am turned off by small wooden place in the middle of the forrest because I believe they are filled with people from The Hills Have Eyes, but this is an exception.
The setting is wonderful, surrounded by huge trees and typically flooded with motorcycles.
The food: Redneck benedict has biscuits, two poached eggs, and gravy with bacon on top! Served with hash browns. I have never had poached eggs this wonderful before.
The staff: as friendly as it gets, from telling stories to sharing the local news. Very charming.
I understand that most people probably rate them down for lack of space but that is simply part of this diner's charm. -

A solid rugged 4 stars for Alice's Restaurant.
Alice's is the most frequented breakfast place on my rotation. The breakfasts are simple, delicious, clean, and satisfying all at the same time, without any of the froo-froo of doilies, precociousness, or "how's everythin tastin?" + saccharine conversation.
I'm a transplant from Las Vegas, so the mornings I get to spend up here are always, always beautiful. In the earlier hours, the fog is still rolling around Woodside and starts as you drive up Skyline. The redwoods are still and towering. And here, in it all, is an unassuming restaurant. It is enough to make John Muir sigh.
It reminds me why I put up with rent that is way too high, why I sit in the 101 traffic with obscenities scrolling in my mind, that maybe all these billboards helping me leverage a corporation I don't own aren't so bad to look at, after all. Because there are little places like this.. where the cops know the firefighters know the business owners, and everyone just goes about their business. An escape from Silicon Valley without feeling like I'm in podunk nowhere (the foray of impressive motorcycles and cars parked outside enforce that).
Anyway.. I'm pretty basic when I order breakfast, and can only speak wonders about the granola they top on their yogurt. I don't know what the secret is, but it's crack. Downright addicting and the only place I can ever justify paying $8.95 for yogurt and granola. The bacon is perfection. The hash browns are never too oily or too dry. Biscuits and gravy.. yes.
You really can get whatever you waaant, at Alice's Restaurannnt.. -

Having lived outside of Truckee, CA for awhile, I can say that Alice's restaurant is a taste of the Sierras in our own backyard:
- a gorgeous drive to get there
- majestic trees surround you (bring an extra layer to wear so you can sit outside)
- a rustic and festive vibe
- homemade food that's tasty and unpretentious
- people (owners, staff, and clients) who are friendly, happy, and kind
I first discovered this little gem on my way to meet up with a friend for a hike. My GPS and I were hopelessly lost, then my cell phone had no signal. Although I wasn't at their restaurant to eat, the waitstaff let me use their phone to leave a voice mail. When my friend called me back, Alice's owner brought the phone out to me. At that point, I was in the parking lot, sitting in my car, realizing that my car battery was dead. Not to worry - he cheerfully jumped my car battery and sent me on my way.
Chivalry has a way of making bad luck feel like good fortune, especially when the result is finding a tucked away place like Alice's. My husband had to agree when we went back for breakfast. We plan to return for dinner and live music soon! -

Alice's is the best. Great food & great people. You get bikers, cyclists, locals and people from around the world who have undertaken the pilgrimage. I am a local & must admit I often go for the people watching, but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy their massive veggie sandwich with fries and a fresh brew. It is like a mini-vacation in my own backyard. A must visit if you are anywhere nearby. Also, the ride up Skyline/La Honda 84 is killer! Take a ride down to San Gregorio Beach and you have a pretty perfect day.

I decided to take My Honey to Alices for a New Years Breakfast. I knew it was over at 2:00. We arrived at 1:40 we were seated at 1:45, the waitress said our would be right with me. I ordered coffe from the host. 15 min later the waitress showed up with a scowl. We asked for breakfast, she said you to late!"You should be on tme, I replied we were. She said she would ask, she came back with a mean look and said ok. We thanked her. 30 min later our food arrived with attirude! We thanked her , mine was cold! She never refilled our coffee others did! I have been going there for 30 years, never had that happen. We frequent it in the Triumph club. Beware of the woman with a Scowl!!! Pooey!!

This was the first restaurant I had driven to on a very momentous day in my life. I've always had it in the back of my mind to try, but I finally had the perfect opportunity to eat here with a couple great friends of mine. We started out in Saratoga and headed onto Skyline Boulevard, which is a road I discovered a few years back as the best driving road I've experienced in a long time. Sometimes it isn't always about the destination but rather the journey getting there. This is definitively the case with Alice's Restaurant.
The weather was perfectly cool with trees surrounding us, and plenty of space on the outside tables to eat. We sat down and had friendly staff serve us. My friends had recommended the burgers which they are known for. I tried the classic burger which came out pretty good; but not the best I've had. But great enough to make me feel a lot better after such a long day. The bathrooms are set away from the main restaurant, and are just ok. I can see myself easily coming back here with some of my fellow motor head friends just to enjoy the drive up. -

After a long ride...
...perfect spot to stop at to meet other bikers and enjoy a scrumptious BIG burger. Ordered the Le Man's (LOVE MUSHROOMS!) and it hit the spot big time! They even have burgers named after motorcycles (since this is known as a biker diner). Mainly burger joint, but they do serve sandwiches and breakfast food as well. Burgers were soooo juicy, but it sucked that they don't come with fries (have to order separately) and only come with a small bag of plain potato chips.
But whatever, I love their burgers!!Listed in: Top Restaurants

"You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant..."
I honestly don't know if "this" Alice's Restaurant has anything to do with the 1967 "song" of the same name by Arlo Guthrie, but I would really like to think it does.
A buddy and I rode our motorcycles up to Monterey to attend the U.S.G.P. at Laguna Seca. That Saturday morning instead of going to the track, we decided to ride 82 miles up Highway 9 / Skyline Blvd to Alice's Restaurant for breakfast. And what an awesome ride it was!
Hwy 9 / Skyline Blvd is an absolutely beautiful 2 lane road that winds and twists it's way up through the Redwoods. The road, the nature and the beauty was just incredible.
We arrive at Alice's, park the bikes, get a table outside and order. The food was good, nothing earth shattering, but good and was a decent sized portion. Service was fine, our server was nice, friendly, etc. It's actually very a cool little place with all the different "stuff" on the walls and sitting around..... especially with a name like "Alice's Restaurant"
The road to get there: 5 Stars!
The ambiance: 5 Stars!
Service: 4 Stars!
Food: 3 Stars! (A-OK)
I think very few would be willing to make the 160 mile round trip just for breakfast. However it's more about the journey getting there, not only the destination.Listed in: Driving adventures, etc...

My family and I come here at least twice a year, once during October and once in December. We get our Pumpkins and Christmas trees around this area and stop here for breakfast or lunch EVERY TIME. When your here you can not go wrong with any item you choose. From A to Z everything is 100% quality and tasty. The Parking lot is always a show case, Alice's is a biker/classic car meet spot that serves the best of foods. If you are ever in the area or remotely close stop on in and YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT, I PROMISE.

I love this place! My family has been coming here forever. The service is great, the food is amazing, and the best part for me, there is a big lawn area where the kids can run around and play, while we kick it on the big deck in the crisp mountain air.
The atmosphere is mellow and cozy, but the food is like that of a fancy restaurant. perfection! -

You can't help but catch onto the badass vibe when you come here, even if you're not a motorcyclist. This place is definitely a hotspot for motorcyclists so you can expect it to get crowded pretty easily even with all the seating outside. I stopped by this place for lunch while on the way to Santa Cruz once. It was pretty crowded but luckily we were able to get a table quickly.
As much as I want to like the place because of the nice staff and laidback vibe, we ended up waiting 45 minutes for 3 pretty basic sandwiches (Veggie sandwich, California Turkey sandwich, and BBQ pulled pork sandwich.) The food isn't particularly great especially for the amount of time we waited to get it, but the atmosphere and workers make this place a bit more likable. I think it would've been more fun of a place to just meet up with other bikers for a while to grab a drink and a bite to eat (a lot of people bought burgers... I probably should've followed suit.) -

I finally got a chance to come back here today for a really late lunch. We got there around 12:40 and the crowd I expected had cleared. My friend and I drove while another took his bike for the first time and it was fairly easy to find parking.
One of the cool things is that you can order whatever you like on your burger, even if it's not listed on the menu. Today, though, we stuck to the written word and ordered a mushroom burger, beer-battered onion rings, a turkey club sandwich, and Alice's omelet plate (they serve breakfast until 2:00 every day). The burger and omelet plate was reported to be yummy and I was rather happy with my turkey club as well. The beer-battered onion rings had to be the star of the meal though since the three of us fought over each piece down to the last crispy, oily, delicious ring.
There are several beers on tap, which was nice for a warm day like today. We ordered a dark ale (I forget what it was called) and some coffee (a must-have at a diner-ish place like this!). The waitress kind of gave us a stink eye when we ordered the beer though.
Service today was attentive and they refill your coffee without you asking for the most part. Indoor and outdoor seating areas are clean and pleasant.
Lots of sexy bikes up there today. :)1 Previous Review: Show all »

My friend brought me here when we went driving in the surrounding area. Boy was I surprised! From the outside it just looks like a shack... well... it is a shack, basically. The menu looks dated and typical of a diner. But once you get your burger, it's a whole different baby!
This is where riders and drivers from around the bay area take a pit stop to hang out and talk about their cars and motorcycles. Both the patrons and staff here are all very nice.
As far as the food goes, you get to pick kobe beef for your patty! On top of that, the onion rings are great and so are the sweet potato fries (I recommend getting melted cheddar cheese as a topping for the fries!) I got myself a BMW burger. It was REALLY good. Everything was fresh, hot, and juicy.
This place sort of takes you out of your comfort zone if you're not a regular, but it's definitely worth an experience!Listed in: Top Restaurants

Ran into this place totally by accident while exploring the beautiful surrounding area. I was so happy to see this nice cozy woods style restaurant here. The food was pretty good too especially considering they had a large selection.
We had the calamari appetizer, a house salad and we split a feta spinach stuffed chicken. All were tasty, not perfect but still very good.
Maybe the great location, relaxed environment, or friendly service is influencing my rating here but I say 4 stars for Alice's! -

I was out on a rare drive on Skyline with the wifey and four year old girl. We found this place which was a nice "in the woods" type of setting. The service was friendly. My wifey and I split a Caesar Salad and the Jalopy burger (with jalapeños). Both were great. I had a couple of Guinness beers on tap. They had a kid menu with crayons for the little one. Looks like a frequent pit stop for motorist...great place!

Let me preface this by saying I'm not expecting service like at a regular restaurant, I'm just expecting to be treated like a patron in a casual setting.
After having a great experience the last time, this time it basically sucked because of the service. I was tempted to go and find the manager because our waitress was basically rude. From forgetting to bring one person's meals, never once apologizing, to a sarcastic comment that was quite rude. I don't write down individual servers names in yelp reviews, but this definitely tested that policy.
Disappointing considering the awesome environment and food that Alice's offers.1 Previous Review: Show all »

Saw a poster about their Thanksgiving Day Second Harvest Donation Day. Perfect reason not to cook and head up to Woodside.
Great friendly service (all the serving staff were volunteers) and good food.
Suggestion for next year's Donation Day - make a suggested donation amount per person. Many people were confused by "there is no bill today" and we saw tourists leave without a donation because they couldn't get the concept; they just heard "there is no bill today". -

I dig it. I'm a fan. I've been plenty of times, unsure why I have yet to yelp you, Alice.
Very generous portions, split breakfast if you're a light eater.
Rockin burgers. I'd skip the o-rings and fries, they're nothing special.
A nice cold Blue Moon on a hot day mid-ride always hits the spot. :) Thank you Erik for introducing me to this joint way back when.
Lovely eye candy there... (I'm talking about some of those seriously sexy bikes!)

biker's paradise located on top of a gorgeous and fun ride up a mountain with tons of other local bikers stopping in for a bite to eat. the earlier you go, the more bikers you'll find. you find people of all ages and all different types of bikes. it's almost like a live, moving bike exhibit. look to your heart's content. the later you come, ie noon-ish, the cars and the families start arriving. chose which crowd you like best.
my bf and i arrived on a sunday around 1130ish. not sure if it was the time or the day, but we didn't not have to wait long for our food unlike some of the other reviews. and when the food arrived, it was hot and DELICIOUS! we ordered:
- ricks - scrabbled eggs with ham & mushrooms - ordered with hash and biscuit - so so good!!! recommend this! hash was crispy and eggs made to perfection!
- alice's omelette - with avocado, bacon, cheese, tomatoes - this was pretty good but i liked ricks better -

Sometimes I have to go back to Alice's to remember how lousy the service can be there. I got there early for dinner at around 5pm on this perfect day. I was surprised how few people I saw at the restaurant.
The first part of dinner went well enough. Got my iced-tea soon enough and my meal came in a reasonable amount of time. It seemed like the waitress was going out of her way to be nice to the patrons.
Then a waitress came by and took my finished plate and asked if I was ready for the check. I was surprised because I heard her ask all the other patrons if they wanted desert. I then said "I would like the menu again please". I waited a while while another waitress came out and handed me my check. The menu is laying there on the table in front of me. I was pissed. What the hell?
I should've kindly asked to see the Manager and asked what the deal was with the waitresses. Instead, I wrote a short note on the back of the receipt saying "Why is the service so bad and I won't be back". I was tempted to leave no tip. Something I never do and am usually very generous.
I dont know why I keep giving this place chance after chance again. Time to make another restaurant a new famous rider hang-out.1 Previous Review: Show all »

Came here quite hungry after a three hour mountain bike ride, and this was the perfect spot. To start off we got an order of onion rings and garlic fries for the table. The burger menu was great, and I went with the Honda which was a chicken breast sandwich with bacon and avocado. A lot of places dry out the chicken, but that wasn't the case here and it was delicious. I wisely paired the Honda with a Racer 5 IPA on tap.
They have great outdoor seating, and this is my pick on a nice sunny day for lunch. -

Its a CLASSIC place...What more can I say? The food is OK, nothing amazing...but its like driving route 66. Is it the fastest way? Probably not, But would not miss it for the world.
Alices is friendly, fun, cheesy ...a great place to people watch and get some roadside food. Burgers, Garlic Fries, Breakfast all day. Gotta Check it out...and the manager Michael is there to greet you with a big smile.
If you've got a bike, its a great ride up the mountain and a destination point for the like-minded. -
Review from Stephy L.
Oh this weekend passed by way too fast! Just this saturday the 12th was my birthday! Woke up and decided to go on a lunch date with the boyfriend. Thank God the weather was beautiful and warm out, so we geared up, hop onto my boyfriend's Honda CBR 600RR, and off we go to Alice's!
When we got here, there were plenty of bikes parked right in front. The tables on their front porch and backyard was filled! I really wanted to sit outside so I can soak up some sunshine, but we didnt find an empty table, so we took a tiny table inside.
This place is very carefree. The atmosphere is relax and it looks like everyone is just there to have a good time, enjoy the view of bikes, and breathe into mother nature. You seat yourself.
A waitress came over and handed us a paper-made menu, took our order for drinks, and told us she'll be right back. My boyfriend decided on the Chili burger, while I order the Yamaha burger. Needless to say, the Chili burger was quite...messy. haha. Lots of Chili and you have to eat with utensils! He liked it a lot. My Yamaha burger consist of 2 slices of pineapple, chicken breast?, mayo. The order also comes with slices of pickles and a bag of chips. I thought the pineapple tasted sweet and perfect, but the chicken was overdone. It was dry and almost hard to cut. I was a bit disappointed.
We also ordered a side of fries. The portion was definitely small. And nothing was special about it.
It took about 15-20 minutes before our order came. The kitchen was quite efficient and food were coming up constantly. They had a good amount of waitress and waiters running around through the restaurant. But like I said, this place is really carefree and relaxed, so don't expect too much customer service. However, our waitress was nice and attentive.
The bill came to $25 with tip. Somewhat pricy for the quality I receive this time. But I might come back, because im hoping for a 4 star review next time :)Listed in: I will never get bored of you!

Had lunch here today as I had Friday off work and wanted to go ride the motorcycle. I hadn't been riding up in the SC mountains for a few years, so decided to head that way. Despite all the nearby roads being very quiet (a good thing), this place was pretty busy.
I had a Le Mans burger, and very nice it was too, the mushrooms and grilled onions working well with the swiss cheese. The bun was nicely toasted too.
Service was a little slow, but that's not really a complaint as it gave me more time to enjoy the sun and watch the world go by - even on a Friday there were some nice bikes and fancy cars floating by while I dined.
I don't like riding when I'm totally stuffed, so the bag of chips that came with the burger is still in my backpack as the burger was plenty filling in of itself.1 Previous Review: Show all »

Alice's Restaurant was pretty much what I expected and maybe better. A nice outdoor seating area and the food is pretty good. I like it that all kinds of bikers with different types of bikes are there, not just the Harley type with their weekend warrior "I'm a biker" costumes and scowles.
My only wish is that the road to get there wasn't so damned curvey. They have several beers on tap which is always a Chad magnet, but I never drink and drive or drink and ride and my wife\designated driver is afraid of the curvy roads.
Oh well, I will be back for a stack of pancakes.
