Hiding under the Hitching Post sign just off I-5, this is the lplace to come to blow your diet. Breakfast means Cuban pepper-steak hash or perhaps home-baked cinnamon-roll French toast with your choice of house syrups like Baileys-and-bourbon. Lunch offers a huge range of burgers (try the one with the house-roasted coffee rub). There's also a take-out counter.
