Top 15 Affordable Restaurants in San Luis Obispo, CA

Mai Finally, a local place for great quesadilla, burrito, build your own bowl with plenty parkings - close to California market. They have the same proteins as Chipotle, with four different kinds of delicious sauces. We ordered the quesadilla, and it was huge, tasty, crunchy, and served in a nice recycled box. Very reasonable price. The service is very fast with happy, friendly staff. There are plenty of sitting areas with large windows and high ceilings. Great job, press! Definitely recommend.

Madi Q Delicious food and great beer selection. Sat out on the covered outdoor patio and it was perfect! We came during live music and it was a really chill vibe. Added plus the team here is super nice! The owner even came over to introduce himself which was really cool. Side note, theres also a good amount of parking which is great for SLO.

Napoleon Navarro The ribeye breakfast was a very filling and tasty breakfast special. The sunny-side up eggs were cooked well. The hash browns were very crunchy. I added a side of sausage links because I love having sausage with my breakfast. The steak was cooked well and had the perfect bite to it.

Scott Hancher My wife and I were looking for a quick, nutritious bite on driving through SLO. I wasn’t optimistic that an Italian Restaurant would fit the bill, but this quaint sized DDD business served some very tasty salads, and we couldn’t refuse trying their tasty meatballs as a side.

Roman Gonzalez We tried 4 different burgers and 4 different lemonades and the food was pretty amazing. Reasonably priced, great service, ambiance and atmosphere. Best bite was the Wagyu A5, dripping with tallow, just amazing taste in every bite. Definitely will be back to try other menu items

Hunter Boaz I love this restaurant! The owners and staff here are so friendly and welcoming. The food is excellent and big-portioned. They sell their own Thai Chili hot sauce which I use at home all the time. They have a nice special every week or two with some fun experimentation. Wholeheartedly recommend! I think I’ve come here about 10 times in the last 3 months

Lauren Ospala We needed a quick, delicious breakfast and Sally Loos did not disappoint. Breakfast burrito is highly recommended. Aesthetic is really cool & cozy and they feature artwork for sale on the walls. There’s a parking lot around the corner.

Christina Emery This restaurant at SLO Airport has great food at reasonable (for an airport) prices. It helped pass the time during my 8 hour stay at SLO Airport. Due to mechanical issues with the plane, the American Airlines flight I was booked on was delayed until another plane arrived to replace it. So, I had about 4 more hours to kill before my flight left. The Spirit of San Luis was a short walk from the terminal, and definitely worth it.

Ann C Every restaurant has its own story to tell. But this restaurant’s humble beginnings of chasing the American dream are something else. The interior design is tall, spacious, and comfortable. It combines artistic creativity with a bright and vibrant atmosphere. Very clever. I took a bite of my first Dave’s Hot Chicken tender sandwich. I cannot deny that it was incredibly delicious and addictive with its flavor. However, the chicken tender was a little too cold for my liking. Other than that it would be perfect. Its no harder to choose a shake flavor unless you cant decide what to pick. Now the Napoleon shake is an alternative. Don’t worry and be happy with the shake Napoleon as it conquered them all. Especially the lucky charms on toppings. It is my husband’s favorite as it is special. This milkshake flavor is something you cannot get at other places.

V G The best Japanese food I have ever had in our county! Finally!!! So much was comparable to the food we ate in Japan. The owner is fun, exceptionally kind and loves to share all about what he is preparing for you! It was also my birthday and he made me special surprise treats throughout my meal. It was one of the most personal birthday meals I have had at a restaurant as they went above and beyond to make the whole experience one of a kind. The food is everything - this is a can’t miss restaurant all around!!! Thank you Sunny!!

Tami Donner Love the ambiance, lots of seating and a bar area. No hard alcohol. Just beer, cider and wine. But a nice variety. They play country music Id thats a plus for you. Nice patio, too.

Jessica Alexander My family ate lunch here just after Christmas. We were impressed by the great food and attentive service. I highly recommend it! Make reservations.

Twila Arritt Delicious Thanksgiving meal . Turkey with all the trimmings, salmon, ravioli, short ribs. Desserts were refreshing, I chose the Chocolate Mousse that was topped with a variety of delightful fresh fruit. The restaurant was busy, yet we never felt rushed. Excellent formal dining service.

M Kay Wonderful Spot! We were on a road trip with our two small dogs and staying nearby. We were very fortunate that this place was withing walking distance of our hotel. They are also dog friendly - we had a lovely spot with a fire pit at our table. The staff was so kind and provided excellent service. The food was delish! we split the Korean BBQ salad and a side of smashed potatoes. Both were delicious. Our cocktails were awesome and tasty too. This place was a fantsstic find - I def recommend coming to 1865 Craft House & Kitchen!

Patty H Pad Thai with crispy tofu—a perfect GF option. Hold the egg for vegan. We always enjoy our stop here on roadtrips. Really sweet staff too.
