Loved this place! Read about it here on trip advisor, and had to try it! Two of us went there and told the cook/owner we were splitting both orders, we ordered a cheeseburger, which came with fries, crab cakes and Cole slaw, all of it split in half! He portioned out the shared items which made it so easy! The... More

Best burgers in town! Off the beaten path of downtown and a fun environment. Plus, they have outstanding service. We'll be back again and again!

We love this place! So unpretentious and a real local's hangout. We always have the burgers and fries here but this time I wanted to try the crab cakes again. Big improvement since the last time I had them. They were more full and not so flat and perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. Served on a pretty plate with a... More

This place was recommended to us when we checked into our motel. What a great suggestion. I have driven by many times and never paid any attention to this place. I will not make that mistake again. Good beer on tap and according to my friend a good selection of wine. The burgers really were the best I have had... More

We were told that the Relief Pitcher had the best burgers around. They definitely were! This is clearly the local watering hole, but the service was great, everyone was friendly, and the owner is the chef (who also brought out the food himself). We will definitely be eating our burgers there on future visits! This is by no means a... More

The Relief Pitcher Tavern is just that a Tavern right on Hwy 101 going to Seaside. In the winter watch out because it's right in the path of the flood zone. In all you get a great meal if you don't mind the dumpy look from the outside. A place to drink beer and swap fish stories.

A run down shack. If you read this listing and think oh, this is one of those greasy spoon, good tasting places that people have an inside track too, your WRONG! It's gross! Watch the owner MIKE, not wash his hands! What does he say to your face? How does he treat you? It's nasty!

The Relief Pitcher should be on the show with Guy because it is truly a dive. That's not a bad thing! The pastrami cheese burger with home made cole slaw was awesome. The wife had a huge tuna steak sandwich with hand cut perfectly seasoned french fries. The waitress was nice as could be and the food was great. Overlook... More
