Big Sur River Inn

Big Sur


Woodsy restaurant with a deck, overlooking a creek teeming with throaty frogs. The food is standard American – burgers, steak, sandwiches, roast chicken and salads – and there are a few vegetarian dishes. Breakfast features breakout options such as the utterly irresistible carrot cake French toast with maple caramel sauce. Great apple pie, too.

Rooms (starting at $150), a general store and gas are also available.
