What Theresa Thurm likes about Whale Watchers Cafe:
Hi!Highly recommend for the views and the atmosphere. The man who owns the property is extremely sweet and polite. Unfortunately, business was slow due to the PCH being closed. The gas is expensive, but one of the only few in the deep of Big Sur, which is understandable. Stop in and get some beer and enjoy the view!! View all feedback. What Das58 (Das58) doesn't like about Whale Watchers Cafe:
Extremely over priced, 7 of us went in for dinner, all ordered fish and chips or the sea food combo , 2 people in our group had 1 beer everyone else had ice tea or a soda , when I got the check it was $426.00 with the 20 added gratuity, I thought it was a mistake lol ....nope , that's some high dollar gas station fish and chips View all feedback.

It’s not fancy, but the hamburger was delicious and the service was great.

Enjoyable quaint roadside bar and restaurant, admirably kept open even though the #1 Pacific Coast highway has been closed for years, with very little traffic.
