Quinn Miller Stopped in while charging with 4 people. Super fast and everyone loved what they got. Big menu, vegetarian/vegan options noted. Soft drinks and beer. Lots of options. Clean nice unisex bathrooms. Lots of locals. Lovely staff who cleared plates almost immediately.

Judy A Delicious coffee shop fare in a fun-filled ambiance. The wait staff were amazing. Down home and no frills. Food was very good, service was excellent, and I felt welcomed in what feels like a locals hot spot.

Marc Milrod Effectively a sports bar on weekends. We were there on a rainy Saturday. Somehow there was a large care of 40-50 something aging frat boys. Boy, did our good taste quieter when their rivalry game was over. They offer an incredibly tasty Lamb Burger. Just be sure if you order the Mac & Cheese that you are hungry. My wife was not expecting a quart, was a tad overwhelmed, and ate ~10%.

Darrin Baker The food and the weight staff was excellent if you’re going, I would recommend making a reservation. We sat at the bar because the tables were all full.

Dalton Alvino First time here and was very impressed. Went with a bunch of friends and tried a little of everything. The fingerlings and brussel sprouts were my favorite starters. I got the Hatch burger and added the bacon & fried egg, it was SO good! Of course had to try some of the rotisserie chicken as well and was amazing as expected. Definitely will be back to try more of the menu

James Rabuco On my first trip to Paso Robles, I had to visit my favorite brewery, Firestone Walker. I decided to try something other than their classic 805, so I went with the 805 Cerveza Michelada and was not disappointed. It was exactly what I was in the mood for. For my meal, I ordered the Tri-Tip Sando. The sandwich was a perfect size and generously filled with tri-tip. The toasted bread was perfectly crisp. I was excited for the fries, as the thin-cut fries I saw on other peoples plates looked delicious. However, when my order arrived, the fries appeared underdone and the container was only half full. It was a letdown, and Im not sure why my serving was so small. The service, though, was excellent. My server was a seasoned veteran who was very knowledgeable about all the beers on tap. Parking was also easy, with plenty of street parking available. If youre in the area, I recommend stopping by for a beer. To avoid the possibility of underdone fries, you might want to consider ordering a side salad or the steak fries instead.

Shelby Hensley Every time I’m in Paso Robles I make it a point to eat at Fish Gaucho. It’s one of my favorite restaurants! The staff that helped us were extremely courteous and polite, offering great recommendations and accommodating our requests with a wonderful attitude. One of the best features of this restaurant that really sets the quality of their dishes and drinks apart is that all ingredients are prepped fresh for the day, which really does make a difference. Everything we had was fresh, flavorful, and an amazing experience. Highly recommend you make a reservation when you plan to visit since this is a popular restaurant in the city and the standby tables can run out fast.

misty livengood As locals, we love the history and heart of Pappy’s. The service is as fantastic as the food; both feel like a warm hug. Cozy vibes. Also, if happiness were a flavor it would be their French Onion Soup.

Benjamin Tan Rustic fire is located off the 101 near the 46 Its a small but also large seating area for all types of groups. Parking is a bit limited but should be doable Overall great American vibes Servers were super nice and helpful and looked like they were hustling and locked in Their cheesy breadsticks were def worth the hype We got their large asian chicken salad and my parents loved it alot And finally their chicken white sauce pizza was definitely the highlight of the meal 10/10 would come again

Tony McNally So good we went twice…the raisin toast was fabulous along with all the other food, whilst receiving great service

Be Chego I ordered the (apparently) famous trip tip. The trip tip was indeed very good to excellent and the pairing sauces were very good. Next time, I shall order the sandwich, as that sounds delicious also. I also ordered the chicken. That was cooked to perfection. I rates the service with just three stars because when I went to pick up my order, I went to the register and the lady receiving me did not smile and seemed confused with my request for pick up. Then she sent me to the pick up area, all without any amount of friendliness. This, only somewhat #recommended #bechego
