Restaurants near Branch Canyon Guard Station Historical

All the food and drinks were great. We were trying to decide between two meat dishes, and our waiter suggested the lamb pops and they were fabulous. 

The fried chicken was impeccable. Super flavorful and juicy. The use of chicken thighs was smart. Served with grits and breadcrumbs and butter pickles. Great combo. The cornbread can’t be humanly described. But trust me it’s gooooood!

Very consistent quality of both food and service...happy, engaging, attentive staff, along with innovative specials and tried-and-true dishes that make it worth coming back. The T-bone Sliders, for example, is a classic that never grows old. One of my favorite restaurants in the Central Coast.

From the owners to the chefs to the servers to the hosts, BLC consistently provides a top notch culinary experience at every level. Their knowledge and enthusiasm for the food permeates, from the boquerones to the cute little shrimp that holds down your bill. The menu is limber, so it is easy to craft many different meals, each journey just as exciting as the last. The wine list is a mix of local and foreign wines that is as fun, approachable, high quality and as intriguing as the restaurant itself. The Peruvian scallops are divine, truly a dish I crave often and my wife plans her work schedule around the fried chicken sandwich, making sure our reservations are early enough that it won’t have sold out. We love this restaurant. The paella, the Secreto (please keep it on the menu!) try it all, you can not go wrong. And do not skip dessert. Huge shout to Roy, your warmth and hospitality always brightens our day.

An excellent experience from start to finish! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was outstanding. Everything was wonderful, and I can’t recommend it enough. A must-visit! Highly recommend! ⭐️
