Alices Restaurant - Woodside (CA)

5 /5 James Parker: Alice’s Restaurant is an awesome spot! The food is great, the service is always friendly, and the place itself has lots of cool things to check out inside if you get a table there. Sitting out back is also awesome — there are tons of benches and it’s really pretty out there. On top of that, you’ll see plenty of cool sports cars and motorcycles while you’re there. I recommend going during the week if you can, because it gets really busy on the weekends. Definitely worth checking out!

5 /5 Justin G.: This has become my absolute favorite restaurant to dine at during rainy/stormy weather. Theres just something about outdoor dining surrounded by redwoods while rain pours down around you as you enjoy a meal under shelter with firepits and heaters still keeping you warm. I used to eat here semi regularly when I lived closer, but have since moved. Today our family drove an hour to relive the experience for old times and we were not disappointed. The place had changed a bit from last time we were here. But we still enjoyed our food. My kids ordered some custom things and the staff was very accommodating to everything. Food was made and brought to our table quickly, and they kept checking on us to see if we needed anything. This place is still as good as I remembered and the rain made it all the more enjoyable!

5 /5 Michael Smith: An absolutely fabulous and beautiful restaurant literally in the middle of the forest (and the middle of nowhere.) The menu is extensive and the food is well prepared and tastes great. All served by possibly the friendliest staff in any food joint. Despite being out of the way and the long drive to get there, this place is worth every mile driven to reach it. Sometimes, the ones who take the road less traveled, are handsomely rewarded.

4 /5 Angela Yue: Casual place, you order outside then are given a buzzer and seat yourself. Most tables are outdoors but there are a lot of heaters so its not too cold. The staff are very friendly and provided excellent service. Vegan options include burgers (black bean, beyond) and pizza (they have vegan cheese). Could also veganize the salads and add a burger patty. Got the black bean burger which was fine, not house made. Came with a lot of lettuce/onion/tomato. The housemade chips were delicious. Mushroom pizza with vegan cheese was very good, love that they added so many mushrooms. Also got the garlic and herb fries which were good, but did not have much garlic and herb topping. Overall would recommend this place given limited options in the area, and the scenery is great. Good place to stop after a hike.

5 /5 Stephen Huang: If you’re a car guy/gal, this is the place to be, it’s that simple. The food is simple diner food, nothing crazy but hits all the right spots. The pancakes was amazing. The crowd can be busy but they manage it quite well. Ordering is simple and efficient and food comes out in a little under 10 mins for me. The car scene, that’s what you come here for and it’s very nice. Overall, if you’re in the area, swing by, enjoy the drive up and down. Spot some nice cars and have a good meal.
