Reports and tips from RoadsideAmerica.com visitors and Roadside America mobile tipsters. Some tips may not be verified. Submit your own tip.
The oldest Cafe on US Highway 101 on the entire West Coast. Built in 1928 this sixty seat restaurant has only been remodeled twice since opening. The last time in 1954 when it was upgraded into a "Modern Drive-In" complete with classic overhang. And yes carhops on roller skates. The Cafe has retained its classic look and touts itself as the "Highway 101 Museum." Open every day from 6:30 AM till midnight except Christmas. Great food, classic tunes and the friendliest waitresses -- it is the place to go to relive your highway cruising experience.
