Old Town Deli & Cafe

Great place to eat! The food is great and has such a local atmosphere; I highly recommend. Support local businesses!

Classic dinner with good food and great service! The staff were very nice and caring.

Best burgers in town great service and very reasonable prices, I've never had a bad there, and I've eating there for quite some time .

The breakfast sausage patty and eggs was GREAT .Hasbrouck coffee was great too. Great service

The cheeseburger I had was tasty and the fries were super delicious. Prices are reasonable for both breakfast and lunch.

Food is fresh for breakfast and lunch. Staff are friendly and personable.

Great value for your money! The food was very good and the prices very reasonable.

The best place to go for homemade soups, salads, sandwiches and burgers! You receive friendly service with reasonable prices.

The food is always fresh and delicious. Lucy is always friendly with all her custimers.

Great food, and Luz is so beautiful! Made my coffee and burger much more enjoyable 😄

We both had a burger with bacon and frys. Service was fast and it wasnt crowded at the time we went. And it wasnt expensive either.

The have the best service and quiche.

Great food great service server was really friendly best place to get a great breakfast

Very friendly. Good food. First time visit. Wil come again.

Their veggie omlete is the best. It's loaded with all the usual veggies plus celery, mushrooms, broccoli and cauliflower!

All I can say the menu is awesome a little bit pricey but worth the price

Our family favorite for weekend breakfast and lunch. The best chicken fried steak, club sandwiches, and burgers.

Great breakfast! Generous portions, almost couldn't finish.

Stopped here while traveling and was pleasantly surprised to find the ingredients were very fresh and the food wasn't greasy!

Wow just amazing foood. The staff are friendly and attentive. Overall great place to eat and I would recommend people to go and eat. 🙂

Amazing American style food,breakfast or lunch,very clean and amazing waitstaff and cooks,very family oriented in the middle of downtown🎉🎉🎉

Awesome great food!! I ordered the Rib eye and eggs it came with hasbrowns too! Even the coffee there was great!!!!

The food is great!! I always order the veggie omelette with egg whites and the chef makes it super tasty. The staff is friendly and courteous.

Good food at an affordable price great customer services highly recommend

Dudley's has always been reliable to me. From mouth watering burgers to delicious and tasty breakfast. Classic diner ambiance with friendly staff. Welcoming environment.

Great service and food was perfect. Just the right amount and cooked perfectly. Definitely on my list of places to return to. Also reasonably priced

We love this place! The staff feels like family, and the food is great! I love the Asian salad and the brown bread is out of this world good!

We had breakfast, and it was a big breakfast menu. Service was quick, food was delicious, staff was friendly. Great alternative to the popular and very crowded other breakfast restaurants in town.(Salinas)

Service was great! I went during the week just before 12. Service was quick and presentation of my food in the to go box was neat and organized. Fresh and tasty.

The waitress was always making sure we had our coffee and refills. Our food order was taken in timely fashion & the food was Delicious. We will be going back.Thank you all very much.

Absolutely the go to place for local breakfast with home style grinds and a comfortable atmosphere. Definitely a breakfast must when downtown Salinas...

Great food! Try their dark bread, you will be glad you did!!! They serve it as appetizer while you wait for your meal. Their meats are juicy and tender however you have them.

Delicious tuna melt. My wife and I split the sandwich and the chicken fried steak and enjoyed it very much. Great service and yummy fries.

Dudley’s is like taking a trip back in time... or visiting an era that’s nostalgic, but you’ve never been there. Kind of like a Norman Rockwell painting, the atmosphere is one in the same. It’s a genuine old diner, not a restaurant made up to seem like an old diner. This is where my extra star comes in. It gets a perfect five because I am a nostalgia fanatic! The food is very well made and at a bargain of a price (time wasn’t helpful with the cost of a cup of coffee). However it’s very manageable; cheaper and better than “Denny’s”. You even have your old fashioned waitress and she’s keen with keeping that cup full. Even has that “more coffee, hon!” line. Give it a try and I give my word that it will not disappoint. Just remember where you’re going and try not to lose yourself in 1955. 😜

Great family run cafe with fresh prepared down home food!

Perfect spot for a great breakfast! Skip the lines at those "other" franchises and get perfect proportions, great service and a true cafe experience. The food is perfectly prepared and the price is well below the value!!!

I used to have lunch at Dudley's restaurant all the time (1980's - 2002) but because I do not work downtown anymore & it's been awhile. It's a great place. I had lunch on 3/12/18 & it's like in years past. Great food, wonderful service, friendly people, and nicely priced. Thank you Dudley's!

The burgers are amazing! Juicy, thick, tasty, and fast. The interior needs some updating but the service is very friendly. Parking can be a struggle along Main St but there's more parking in the back side.

Someone told me about the tamales. I had to try them. For my taste they were great. Not dry, and good filling. I had the green chicken and the red pork. It's worth a try.

Old-town diner serving breakfast and lunch dishes at affordable prices. I've never had a bad meal here. Great service too!

Been coming here for years. Any meal will bring a smile to your face. You'll walk away satisfied. My favorite is the Phoenix sandwich as well as the Farmhouse breakfast. Oooof! It's 9pm at the time of this writing and it's already making my mouth water.

We're taking a break and wandering Downtown Salinas. I'd dined here a few years back, my wife hadn't. Cafe interior, clean and well lit. My wife ordered a vegetable omelette with cheese. The omelette was a decent size with the perfect amount of cheese and some veggies inside. The remaining veggies were diced on top including broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini and other veggies. The breakfast also came with fruit on the side and toast. A nice table top item was great jelly from Smuckers that wasn't the normal strawberry and grape jelly. Note, Smuckers and not some off junk brand. I needed to try every restaurant staple item, the Hamburger! I ordered the party to be prepared medium AND THE GENEROUS PATTY WAS PREPARED MEDIUM!! YEA!! The patty was fresh & juicy! THANK YOU FOR KNOWING HOW TO PREPARE A GREAT BURGER! Note: many restaurants smash the burgers to cook faster...bad practice. THIS BURGER WAS GREAT! Also, the fries were battered, thick, crisp and tasty! Our server, Angie, was great! Very friendly, great smile and fun to banter with. We will definitely recommend Dudley's.

Friendly, helpful staff and generous food portions! Love their Phoenix sandwich, although the tuna melt was quite satisfying. Clam chowder is also 10/10, makes sense why this is a popular brunch spot

This best is hecka OP. The tuna melt is must have food and it's delicious. there tuna and cheese in there that is melted. I also got the phoenix which is bacon and avo which is pretty good too. Their bread is bigger. And tuna melt is smaller for my orders. Their choose of sides are fries, salad, and soup. And I choose salad with ranch dressing. I ate with friends and this place is own by the mighty Nhams they are cool ppl. And their waiter is very nice.

Really good food quality and very friendly service!

Met some friends for breakfast.... Had the waffle with a side of bacon.... It was a perfect portion...

Really good food quality and very friendly service!

I was in town visiting my mom who frequently has breakfast here. We went and I was very well taken care of with really good food and great service. Keep up the good work everyone.

This place is our regular weekend stop. I have never been somewhere else where the staff remembers you n your families orders so well. Its like going to visit with family after a morning of running around! Food is so yummy and arrives to your table with a quickness and a big smile 😀 Absolutely love Dudley's!

Amazing restaurant and welcoming staff! I love it here so delicious!

First time coming to this warm and welcoming restaurant we were greeted with a warm welcome. Angie is friendly and bubbly! The chef cooked my eggs Benedict just right and my home potatoes were perfect so soft that I was happy 😃 my husbands omelette was perfect for him nice and soft. We will be eating here when in Salinas. Thank you

Good food, friendly staff, and nice American atmosphere.

The food was delicious but it would have been more better if the food was served sooner. It took a little longer for the food to arrive at the table. But all in all I give to Dudley's restaurant a five stars rating and I will definitely be back again for the great food and wonderful service I received.

Experience? Try PARADISE! From the minute we walked in, we were greeted, acknowledged and thanked! The staff is awesome! Timely, cheerful and attentive. Clean place, great service. I love rice with my breakfast and they had it! Portions were great! Having been in the restaurant business, they checked all the boxes! We are glad to come back and tell our families about Dudley's! (We used to go to Sang's- before they went out of business).

We love coming here to Dudley’s on Saturday. It’s a family thing. I’ve been coming here since I was a teen with my mother and grandmother. Now I come with my husband and my mother in law. The food is just delicious. My favorite is their pancakes. Oh can’t forget their homemade salsa. I always ask for some to go home with. It’s just that good. If you never been your missing out.

I love this place! Nothing fancy, but friendly people and wonderful comfort food. This place knows how to do potatoes, from brown and crunchy hash browns, to great fries, to yummy mashed potatoes. Good sandwiches and omelettes, too. Dudley's is often full, but there's fast turnover. This is a place where you'll hear plenty of laughter, often from the waitresses, but it's never too loud, which is nice.

We come dudleys pretty often, its one of my fave spots for breakfast. The sausage patties are by far the best in town, the servers are so sweet and friendly!!

waitress was friendly but a liiittle inattentive during a slow day (waited a while on a coffee refill) and I got potatoes vs hash browns I requested. Food looked/was pretty yummy so I didn’t bring it up to the waitress. 4.5 stars

Great french fries and burgers. Also good service.👍

Good food and service but just wasn't expecting the total a little pricey for 3 people

Good choices for breakfast. Seems to be a local place for friends to meet. Great service too.

This restaurant offers comfort food at a good price. It offers your standard American fare With friendly staff.

Friendly waitresses, old town cafe feel. Try their quiche. Or burgers with fresh avocado or BLT yum!

Basic all-america fare, long time diner on Main Street. Good breakfasts, soups and sandwiches. Friendly staff.

Nice breakfast and the service was very prompt. I'll definitely visot again.

Our visit was great as usual. Lucy always knows our likes and dislikes.

Great diner food, and breakfasts! Very excellent service ☆☆☆☆!

Good regular food, nothing fancy but inexpensive.

Ordered the club sandwich, delish. Waitress was friendly and professional. Great price. Sat outside, nice outdoor dining.

Good homestyle cooking, I have had breakfast and the spinach salad both very good going back to try a hamburger that I am told is excellent. I really like walking in Old Town.

The staff are very friendly and attentive. Great old fashioned American food. The fries are delicious.

Dudley's is a family owned diner. You can count on homemade soups, classic sandwiches and burgers. The servers are very friendly and make you feel right at home. My personal favorite is their turkey burger with Jack Cheese and Avocado with a side of fresh fruit. Yum! Give them a try.

We needed a different restaurant for breakfast. The service was good and the food was good. I plan to have breakfast at Dudley's again soon.

Friendly staff. Good service, atmosphere was decent. The place could use a upgrade when it comes to furniture meaning they're tables and chairs /seats are not very comfortable

DATE: July 3, 2021 PARKING: Curbside and a free municipal parking lot behind the restaurant. BATHROOMS: Cleaner than most other restaurants. AMBIANCE: Dudley's is a diner. Nothing fancy here. It's clean and appears to be well maintained.  pretty well lit. Window and near window seating. STAFF: Wait staff are friendly. They're bilingual. MENU: Simple American dishes on menu. Food is prepared to order and portions are reasonable. delicious.  Nothing overpriced here. This is my second visit. I enjoy this diner. Need to bring my woman. it's a breakfast/lunch place closing at 2pm. I would definitely drop in, if only for toast and coffee.

My first time here, for was good and came out quickly. I ordered the Eggs Benedict. I'm fairly picky with my hollandaise sauce, it was ok, but a little bit too lemon-y for my tastes. Service was good, quiet environment. I would definitely go again for a quick breakfast.

I had a good plate of eggs, country potatoes and sausage. The coffee was good. Ok price. The place is clean and service was friendly. Having a window washer at windowside my table wasn't great --do that stuff after hours.

After camping for a few nights and driving several hours we were Hangry. I love breakfast and decided on Dudley's for breakfast. Both my daughter and I had the veggie omelette. This was by far one of the best I've ever had. It had fresh spinach, cauliflower, broccoli, carrots and onions. The veggies were fresh and not over cooked.....perfect. The homestyle potatoes were so tasty! We ended up saving half and eating the leftovers as a snack on the Sierras. I would definitely come back! Sorry no pics....too hungry.

They have big portions, friendly service. Old school feel.

Wanted a quick breakfast and we got that and quality as well. Reasonably priced and yummy. My wife and I had the two eggs, potatoes, bacon, and toast. My wife had O.J was huge in a 24oz glass and I had coffee . Eggs were perfect, bacon thick cut yummy! We were in a hurry running to work but so glad we stopped we left talking about when we'd have a return visit.

I wanted a burger but they were out of burgers. Service ok but not the best.

Sadly the homemade hollandaise sauce is no longer…. I did bring it to the waitresses attention as it takes like yellow tinted warm mayonnaise. She said they stopped making the homemade sauce and were using a premade one. When we scraped it off it didn’t even move like sauce! Please bring it back!!! Otherwise all else is good but it ruined a dish that used to be amazing.

Good food and service, good selection and prices. Bit of a wait between ordering and food brought to the table, it was about 30 minutes (at about 25% capacity)

Decent little diner. The service was very slow and a little rude. The food was okay. To be fair, I only ordered a grilled cheese and fries and there are not many ways to mess that up. However, the other people in my party had nothing remarkable to say about the food. So, if you want typical "American" food for an okay price and aren't feeling picky, give it a try.

Very slow service! It was painful, and they weren't even busy. Too bad, nice places like this with history are really going down hill because of bad service.

Went in for breakfast food was ok.. Service needs help ,better PR skills is necessary when dealing with the public. Smile. :)

2nd time trying dudleys.. food was mediocre. Ordered mixed berry pancakes.. So one who would assume that berries are in the pancake batter But all they did was throw some berries on top. Service was bad the waitress never came around for water or coffee refills and and the restaurant was not busy.

My wife said her breakfast was fine, scrambled eggs and bacon. My Eggs Benedict hollandaise sauce was a bit off, and the coffee was awful, not much more than brown water. No need to go back here.

My boyfriend and I waited for almost an hour to get ur burgers. We werent asked how do we want ur meat to be cooked and ur burgers were mixed up . In the end no apologies no nothing just a thank you I can understand if it was busy but it was not.

Took about an hour to get a burger at lunch time and it wasn't very busy. Burger was cooked completely through and we weren't even asked how we liked it cooked. They even mixed up my girlfriend and I's orders. We were minutes from walking out when the food finally came. No apologies or anything. Didn't even offer anything for the inconvenience. Will never go there again.

Went in, got thrown in a small corner, ordered potatoes, bacon and toast. I waited over 25 minutes, even the waitress was puzzled. People who arrived after I did were being served with more complex orders. Needless to say I finally left, disappointed and hungry. I will not return and I do not recommend this restaurant.
