Background on Tarpy's Roadhouse:
Tarpy's Roadhouse is pure and simple and celebrates the heritage and craftsmanship of the classic Roadhouse with a few new twists and turns. Relax in the rustic elegance of this 1917 Roadhouse and enjoy a cornucopia of diverse tastes and treats! Our food comes from local farmers, fisherman, ranchers and foragers and our own edible herb garden. The menu changes with the season, as nature intended, and deftly prepared dishes celebrate all that Monterey County has to offer. Tarpy's wine cellar contains a large section dedicated to the same them of local abundance.

The welcoming dining room has a stylish, rustic decor. On sunny afternoons, patrons can relax under market umbrellas on the outdoor patio, sip margaritas, enjoy tasty libations and munch on Tarpy's delicious food.

Come nightfall, the place fills with tourists and locals alike who pile in for a hefty plate of bourbon-molasses Pork Chop, Dijon-crusted lamb loin or Tarpy's vegetarian selections. Don't miss the dry-packed, Maine sea scallops on edamame puree. it is to die for. Tarpy's also has a wonderful selection of fresh, local, sustainable fish, shellfish and vegetable dishes - but the good ol' meat 'n' potato mainstays sizzling from the wood-fired grill like steaks and wild game, sell the best. Make sure to try the juicy meatloaf and garlic whipped potatoes!

Our garden is even showing up at the bar in tasty libations featuring fresh herbs.

Set amidst lushly landscaped grounds, the patios and extensive gardens provide a refreshing backdrop for any occasion.
