Neighbourhood gem
Good for groups

In the early 50’s, nestled in between the eucalyptus trees and rich farmlands of what is now Fremont, there came to be a friendly place where local farmers and their families could meet and share their stories.

Over the years, this unique hideaway became known for its splendid food and even an occasional drop or two of cider. It also became known as the town meeting place, where one could listen to the “Old Timers” tell many stories about life in the Old West, Mining in the Sierras, and the Wild & Wooly days on the Docks of SF.

Since what is now Warm Springs Blvd used to be the primary route between SF and Santa Cruz, many out of town visitors made this a favorite rest stop during their journeys. It was a place to get a good meal, quench ones’ thirst, and tell a few stories. As time went by, it was only natural that this delightful town meeting place came to be known, as it still is today, as Spin-A-Yarn.

Exceptional meal. Prime Rib was a nice thick cut, rare, just like my husband likes it. I was pleasantly surprised that sand-dabs were the fish special. My favorite. Cooked to perfection. Calamari appetizer was tender crispy. Service was excellent. Only negative was that mashed potatoes were overly salty so basically inedible - would have been nice to know that so other potato options could be substituted. Also really miss having baked potatoes. Please put back on menu.

Dining as it used to be! We were truly served at Spin A Yarn, a restaurant that recalls the golden days when dining meant attentive service, fine meal choices (a surf/turf special!) and ease of conversation.

First time dining (Father's Day Brunch). Great buffet w/wide variety (including delicious prime rib, salmon, shrimp)! Obvious that there were regular customers who were greeted like family. Service staff team work great and our server Elvia was very attentive!

Spin a Yarn is always a delight - great food and service. Fili (our server) is exceptional. The live music is also a wonderful touch. Mike Mendoza played a three-hour set of jazz/saxophone and was the ‘chef’s kiss’ on a wonderful experience.
