Pocket Change - Monterey

New and Unique, this is an all cash, and curbside, and Doordash ordering HOT SPOT!

Door dash messed with my order not pocket change. Food was delicious only complaint is the bread bowl is a bit to dry but the clam chowder is bomb. Their fish and chips is delicious as well!

I love this place, it’s my go to when I order on DoorDash in Monterey.

I am not a professional food critic, but I do eat food daily and have experience working in food service. I once worked as a server and as the lead grill cook at High Desert State Prison in Nevada for 4 years. In all my time cooking prison food, I have never encountered a meal as terrible as the one I had at this restaurant. I only chose to order from here because it was the only place open late when I ordered through DoorDash. The sandwich I ordered was made almost entirely of a super greasy, yet rock hard bun that was practically inedible. The bread and other ingredients seemed stale and old. Despite my bravery, taking a bite of this sandwich was a big mistake as it was so revolting that I felt like I would be nauseous for the next decade just thinking about it. This experience is something I will never forget, as it not only failed to satisfy my hunger but also put me off eating altogether. It takes real effort to create something so repulsive, and I am amazed that this restaurant is still in business given the poor quality of the food. I wouldn't accept any amount of money to finish that sandwich, and even the fries were equally unappetizing - soggy, overly greasy, and tasting as though the oil had never been changed. I can't comprehend how fries could taste so bad. Overall, this was the most disappointing food I have ever encountered in my life. Even my 12-year-old daughter could make a better sandwich at a fraction of the cost. It's truly surprising that this establishment is able to operate serving such subpar food. I believe that with some changes, such as improving the menu and reducing overhead costs, this place could easily increase profits by 200-300%. However, I'm uncertain of the damage the poor quality of food has done to its reputation.

This restaurant is amazing. It has a cozy atmosphere with board games and pinball machines. They also have live sports on TV. The prices are very reasonable and the beer selection is great. The menu offers a wide variety of classic bar food that is both delicious and satisfying. The owner is extremely friendly. Saul greeted us warmly and made an effort to get to know each customer. This place is a must-visit!
