Happy Rooster in San Juan Bautista

Dinner with my girlfriend's in San Juan Bautista, we would've usually gone for Mexican food, but I saw this listed as one of the top ten places to eat. I had the beef short ribs with mashed potatoes- perfectly slow roasted with the right amount of wine produced a sauce that shows the chef's attention to time and detail. I would highly recommend this place. Service was good and my meal was priced fairly, considering how long the meal takes to prepare!

The Cali Burger won't disappoint. Cooked to you order, crisp bacon and served on a bun from the bakery next door.

It was closed when I went by today is New Year's Day, seem like an interesting place if it was opened I would have stopped in.

Super friendly, good food and generous good wine by the glass.

Great breakfast!

Excellent dinner. Awesome staff.

Great Italian food in a casual atmosphere. I would give it more stars if I could!!!

Great Breakfast! Nice lunch (we shared a salad and sandwich which they split and plated individually for us). Good prices, friendly staff, good food.

Very good burger... large menu for such a small place.

Sad to see them go today they are closing their doors. was great food

Cozy and relaxed family dining in San Juan Bautista. I highly recommend the bone-in pork chops!

Good place to eat with a variety of dishes and snacks.

Love this - great food, large portions

Great breakfast. Try the homemade salsa. Really good. Mamacita is the sweetest lady.

I was craving spaghetti and this is the only restaurant that offered it. Their menu had spaghetti and meatballs with meat sauce, but the chef/cook was willing to make any pasta dish vegetarian! Wonderful service - thanks Happy Rooster.

Great Food..Great Service...the Best Meat Balls..I Have Ever Had...Except for My Moms..(R.I.P. MOM)...(..AND I'M AN ITALIAN..)..😊

My wife, kids and I went to this restaurant on a Saturday afternoon. The service was excellent. My California Chicken sandwich was tasty but we were disappointed in my wife's Philly Cheesesteak. The fries and kids' chicken tenders tasted like they had been cooked in the same oil as someone's fish. The ketchup was warm and lumpy. Prices were a little on the high side relative to other tourist destinations we have visited. It was fine overall, but not quite what we expected from earlier reviews.

My experience here was not as enjoyable as many that I've read. I found the menu uninspiring and the ambiance of the dining hall to be like a 50's diner mixed with a mafia joint, shelled in by the walls of Western saloon. Perhaps muddled is the word I am searching for.
