“Great find as we were wandering around this area. Francisco is a character and very entertaining. Cape Fear burger started with a good quality patty hand made and all fresh ingredients. Shoestring fries were perfect. The tandoori chicken sandwich was also very tasty and the blue cheese vinaigrette was outstanding, again scratch made.”

“Great food, indoor & outdoor seating, friendly staff, nice decor, quick service, and awesome background music. I had the beef burger w/pepper jack cheese and bacon. Wife had the Caponata & Swiss sandwich. We both had fries, she drank their iced tea while I had a sprite. Everything was really good and I would recommend going here instead of any of those places right off of hwy 1. We will be back for breakfast next time we pass through the area.”

There isn't an extra mile she wouldn't go to make diners happy. Everything was delicious! I had the Smoked Salmon Tortellini, and my friend had Fried Chicken. He had Apple Pie ala Mode to go, and Kim stuck in a surprise birthday candle!! We plan to return in the very near future.”
