Good old school dinner house for standard American comfort food-steaks, chicken, fish, prime rib, etc. Good caesar salad and a decent French onion soup, but like so many other restaurants they went low ball with the cheese au gratin on top. Melted and browned Gruyère with a bit of Emmenthaler makes a proper flavor to French Onion soup. Mozzarella adds zero flavor and is the cut rate way to make a simple dish. When made with the proper cheese, it adds a rich, nutty, complimentary flavor that lingers on the palate.

We had a great time here with my partner and his dad. Dad loved the food. The service was great. Nice folks. The ambiance was mellow for a Christmas eve - day.

Stopped by on a quiet Sunday night on a drive back from Santa Barbara to the Bay Area. The place has a very cool old school vibe. Great looking bar area and lots of comfortable booths in the dining room. My ny strip was cooked perfectly and the scalloped potatoes were great. Bartender poured a delicious martini. Service prompt and friendly. I'm looking forward to coming back.

Best steak house in the area hands down. Service was great and Chef Nino is phenomenal

Food is great here, people that work here are awesome. Lexy at the bar is amazing, works her butt off and handles the bar by herself all the time. Would highly recommend this place to all my friends!!

This is my kind of place! We are new to the area but could tell that this place has been a Salinas staple for at least two generations. Old steakhouse diner vibe with high back booths. Clientele were local businessmen and locals who want an elevated lunch or dinner. Although we weren't having cocktails, it was nice to know they have a full bar. We started with fried calamari. It was pretty good, but nothing we will order again. My wife ordered the avocado bacon cheese burger and I had the French dip. Plenty of roast beef on a French roll with very flavorful au jus. The fries were nicely seasoned and crispy. I had a bite of my wife's burger. It was a flame grilled burger, cooked to the correct temperature with fresh l/t/o and pickles. It was really tasty. Service: Ofelia was our server. She was super friendly and checked on us from time to time. This will be one of our regular stops when we move full time near this community. It will be worth the drive.

I've been in Salinas for 2 weeks working the race track and finding a place for fine dining has been difficult but Growers was awesome. It's has an old school classic vibe and the food was delicious. The service was great, seems like the locals love it here, as I was the only person from out of town it seemed. Come Check it out.

Old school steak house with great service and delicious scalloped potatoes. Definitely a date night spot.
