The food is great... But really... CLEAN THE JOINT. It's filthy. The toilet smell wafts through out, competing with the hash browns, French toast, and great omlets. The carpets are soiled, and the...

This place is practically an institution in Salinas. If your friend is an older gal, or you're going to meet your parents, you wind up at First Awakenings. It's cutesy in that way that folks over 70...

Fantastic breakfast. Although, wheat germ pancakes sound weird, they are very very good, and huge too!! I love their omelets, and their Pope John is delicious too. Gets fairly busy on weekends.
