My family and I are visiting from the UK, and based on reviews we thought we'd give Googie a go - it did not disappoint. The seafood linguine was absolutely delicious with lots of fish. The waiters were very friendly and attentive.

Came to Seaside for the weekend. Had lunch today and it was fantastic. Chinese chicken salad and beer batter onion rings was my choice. Good good & our server was great. Will definitely come back here.

First time there. Googlie was recommended to me by the sales manager of the Nissan dealership just up the street. I was told it was very authentic. I was not disappointed. I had the sea bass. It came with vegetables and I up graded to a stuffed potato. There was a lot of different flavors going on. I am in Sea Side 2 or 3 times a month. I will be coming back.

It's certainly one we will go to again on our next visit to Monterey. We like the staff here and the atmosphere in the restaurant is great, food is really nice and tasty. Strongly recommend whoever visit Monterey and it is a must try restaurant.

Very clean , friendly staff and service was great . We had the pasta with Mariana sauce and added meatballs and requested whole grain pasta . Their sauce had some spice to it but it was yummy !! I also had a healthy serving of their toss salad . I would return here

Adrian, greeted us at the door and was also our server. Food was great, service was great, patio atmosphere great. Will return. Very nice patio to enjoy good food during the summer. I'd like to add that our server never left us hanging. He was very observant of what we needed. Hard to find decent service and it was found here. Thanks again

Omg the food! It is perfect and the decor and cafe as a whole was awesome. I’ve been there in the past, 2016. It was great. This time I was blown away. I had steak and eggs. The medium rare ribeye steak I ordered was perfectly charred and cooked exactly as requested. The sourdough toast and homemade jam were great together. There was even Hollandaise sauce in a small cup on my plate. The potatoes were so good that I ate them all. I usually don’t do that anywhere else but these were great. My husband got the corned beef hash and it was good size chunks. I had a bite and it was so good. I wish it were closer to my home. If you’re in the area stop and give them a try, you won’t be disappointed!

Last year there was a fire at this restaurant. So they rebuilt and remodeled it. At first I didn't understand the name and decor because the dinner menu and the professionalism of the waiting staff didn't seem to fit the 1950 era that the restaurant had said it was on line. We were expecting it to be more casual. Don't get me wrong the feel of the restaurant isn't fancy but definitely not the laid back feel I thought we were going to have. The decor has this pretty teal and the architecture of the restaurant does not match what it looks like outside. They have comfy looking booth seating, the music was jazzy, the woodwork was beautiful and the feel seemed more upscale than we expected. Prices for dinner was a little higher than we expected too. We just went in for a small bite to eat. The waiting staff was so professional, friendly and attentive! We kinda felt we were in Carmel!! I LOVEDDDDDD the French Onion Soup! We probably will go back for breakfast since there menu has a lot to try AND THEY HAVE BENITS in the morning. Please read the background of why they named the restaurant Google Grill and the inspired architecture that ties in with the name. Description is in one of my pics! We enjoyed our food and definitely will be back!!

Dined here last minute after a long day chaperoning an FRC tournament. Things I loved: - they were able to quickly accommodate our party of 10 on a rainy Friday night. - when some in our party ended up not being able to come, they didn’t give us any gruff about it. We chose to shift our seats so they could break apart the big table into two smaller dining spots - good was fantastic! - started off with the sizzling mushrooms and the Brussels sprouts - it didn’t appear to be a ton of Brussels at first because they were in a single layer on a plate versus in a bowl, but it ended up being the perfect amount, and the sauce was fantastic. The sizzling mushrooms were amazing! Sorry, forgot to snag pics of those two dishes. - fish and chips were great! Tons of crispy, flaky but not dry fish atop a bed of the most interesting fries I’ve ever seen. Imagine a steak-fry-size flat potato “wedge” but curved on both ends reminding me of a flower petal. They were really great and not soggy or floppy at all! I can’t stand underdone fries. - multiple in my party had the gnocchi two ways and thought it was dynamite. They couldn’t decide if they liked the Gorgonzola or the marinara sauce better. - Beef stroganoff and the prawn risotto rounded out our meal. There wasn’t a crumb left - Bread pudding - absolutely incredible! I love bread pudding but everywhere I go people put raisins in it. Not here. A huge chunk that was perfectly cooked all the way through. There were no mushy parts and no dry parts. Definitely some of the best bread pudding had at a restaurant ever. - I definitely recommend going but between drinks, dinner and dessert I easily spent $80 on my dinner. - waitstaff was very friendly Things I would change: - for the price point, I was expecting a slightly different atmosphere. It felt very much like a breakfast/lunch cafe that got super popular so they started doing really great dinner dishes as well. There were cloth napkins but maybe tablecloths could have changed the vibe a bit more. - our table was sitting out in the middle of the entire dining room, which I understand because we were a larger party, but I felt a little bit like I was in a fishbowl. However, I think it was partly my fault for not requesting something towards the wall. That is just a personal preference issue, though. - not a huge wine selection, options were fine but nothing spectacular and they were out of the only Chardonnay you could get by the 1/2 bottle.

•Huevos Rancheros with tostadas on the side. This was delish!!! •Chicken (nuggets) & Waffles (extra charge for gravy and bone in. Meh) •Burger patty for our doggie - can't go wrong. Veggies were fresh.

Start with the best first...Our server was amazing. Genuinely friendly and helpful. The back door was open which may have something to do with the large amount of flies inside. The food while looking good (see pictures), was lower quality and under seasoned. Googie potatoes was a tiny portion, potatoes tender, but the peppers and onions were basically raw. (I love peppers and onions, and left most on the plate). The ham steak was a very thin slice you would use on a ham sandwich... and the cheap"spongee" flavorless variety. Pancakes were good, but had to cover them with a napkin to keep flies off them while i ate. But they were good. Iced Tea was interesting. Flavored. My dining companion did not care for it. I liked the flavored tea, but it did over power the lemonade in my Arnold Palmer.

I have driven past this place for many years but have never stopped by to give it a try until today. I was craving for fried chicken and waffles since I last tried them in Atlanta, Georgia. I searched local places and found this place offered it. I saw pictures of actual fried chicken being served so I didn’t hesitate. I placed my order and was surprised that the food was ready very fast! But the second it was placed on my table I realized this was a joke! This was no chicken fried as advertised, these were plain frozen chicken strips! No seasoning, no nothing! The single waffle was a bit undercooked but extra butter & maple syrup made up for it. I cannot believe this child-like meal was over 20 bucks excluding tax and tip. It was not even the real thing. The server was polite upon arrival but never checked on me. He just walked by and dropped the bill without even asking if I needed anything else. Overall, this was a disappointing experience for such high rated place. The dining room was pretty much empty so that does not justify the lacking service. I do not recommend.
