- EEllenCalifornia Central Coast •6 reviews5.0Dined on Oct 21, 2026My mom and I always enjoy our time at Tarpy’s. We sat outside on the patio and it was so nice; we had the whole side patio to ourselves. We had Claire as our waitress and she was so great! She told us she just started, but she did an amazing job! I had the angus burger with fries and it was so good! My mom had the Cobb salad. The manager, Adam, came out to say hello to us, too. We always feel like family when we come to Tarpy’s!More infoTarpy's Roadhouse$$$$• American• Monterey•4.6
