Restaurants in Atascadero

“This is the best sushi place I ever had before, everything is fresh and tasty, the service is awesome and Gentle. And all the food is real japanese style!
どうもありがとう”

“Spent a tour in Hawaii with the military for a year, enjoyed all the foods I had over there, came to Kula expecting the same and they over delivered. Very authentic, very tasty, very inspired food.”

“This is an amazing place for food and drinks. Great selections, staff and the food is incredible.”

“One of the best venues on the Central Coast with the best burger around”

“Food was so delicious! Friendly and attentive staff. Glad we found them.”

“Can I tell you I recommend this place to everyone. Well tonight we had a misunderstanding on the wellness of my steak, but everything else was absolutely phenomenal. So I said something, and when I tell you, my steak came out picture perfect, from a magazine. I mean It. This place has everything. Ambiance, cocktails, plating perfection, hospitality. I could not recommend this place more. Please, do yourself a favor and enjoy this experience. ♥️”

“Nice owners and great wine by the glass selection!”

“Eric knows his beer many options and all tasted great!”

“It's no longer Santa Maria Brewing Co. It's Blast and Brew. They're doing a good job. Prices are reasonable, good service. It's been our go-to spot for a burger and a beer”

“Food was good. Took a little while to get food. Staff is usually good here, just heads up if you are seated in the back it does seem like you don't get as much service. That being said this restaurant has always been good.”

“I love beer. Every road trip I take, I do my due diligence and look for new breweries I haven’t yet experienced. Checking my Untappd app, I saw Spent Grain in Atascadero. Driving from Prunedale to SLO, I made it a point to add their address as a point in my GPS.

Upon arriving, I parked in the rear due to not a lot of available street parking. I walked to the street side front and looked for the brewery. Couldn’t find it. After double checking Google for the address, I looked again to no avail. Dumbfounded, I went to Google once again and delved deeper.

Upon reading the Google reviews, I found that the brewery was very much a speakeasy, if breweries can be defined as such. And why not?

The Google reviews me ruined texting for an appointment. Oh shit! I hadn’t made one! Well, can’t hurt to ask, right? So I sent a text message(available right there in their Google page) explaining my situation and lack of a reservation. Chris, the owner and brewmaster, replied quickly, and instructed me to meet him around back by the glass doors.

I met him at an unmarked entrance that required a security code for entry. He greeted me warmly and walked me down a long non-distinct hallway. We walked through a door that had the address of the brewery.

Now, I have been to 500+ breweries across the US. As I stated previously, I love beer. I love breweries as well. Big or small, it doesn’t matter. Every one has something unique to offer. Chris has built an intimate brewery experience. The entire brewery may be sixteen by sixteen feet. Drinking at the three seat bar makes you feel like a part of the brewing process. Sneeze(please don’t) and all the equipment will need to be re sanitized. You’re really that close. There are 6 to 8 brewing barrels in along the back wall. I’m no expert on size, but I would guess they were between 50 and 100 gallons, which means a lot of small batch brewing. That leaves a lot of opportunity for experimentation and rotation.

The walls are adorned with plenty of swag from a simple t-shirt and truckers hat to top of the line, $100 flannels.

Chris is incredibly friendly. Considering that the brewery may have a maximum occupancy of 5 to 10 beer lovers at a time, one has to be a good conversationalist, and he definitely is.

Chris has almost two decade of experience under his belt, having opened Dunbar Brewing in 2008 in Santa Margarita.

Chris’ beer is great. He let me try a few IPA’a before settling on a pint. He also filled a crowler of his Double IPA Slingin’ Tinnies for me to go straight from the barrel.

Just the idea of a brewery that runs on word of mouth, speakeasy type vibes is fantastic. I’ve been raving about the venue and beer to my friends back home and plan on making a return trip soon, this time making a reservation ahead of time.”

“Ben and his team created an unforgettable experience for a wedding rehearsal luncheon. I can’t recommend them enough.”

“I love the miso soup and vegetable tempura roll. I get avocado and crunch on top of my roll! This place is delicious every time. I also love the side salad with ginger dressing.”

“The Tavern is a bar in Atascadero that is a popular hangout for pool playing and watching you favorite sports events. The brews on tap are great they offer great food. It is not your typical Smoky dive bar. It is clean and well run. We enjoyed hanging out here!”

“Was there for New Year's eve.The old Cuban, drink was the one that did it!!!”

“My girlfriends threw me a party here for my birthday and the service was absolutely wonderful. There were so many of us and yet the food arrived quickly, all the orders were correct and delicious. Great drink selection, fun sushi dishes like Sushi Pizza! We cannot thank you enough for the accommodating service and incredible food!”

“The CUBANO is a MUST Order Item don’t forget to paired it with the Big SUR DOUBLE IPA from Barrel House”

“A group of us long time friends (70+years) have been here often. Also had a get together here after my 101 year old Mothers service in 2019. Guest House never disappoints.”

“Great sandwiches. It is a little confusing figuring out who is making your sandwiches since more than one person is preparing them.”

“I tried this place for the first time today. Amazingly there was no on in line. I had the pleasure of meeting Suzy herself & the sweet lady who made my burrito. The food was delicious. I got a carne asada burrito for my lunch. It was meaty, delicious & perfectly moist. I also got a couple tamales to go. I was set up nicely for a delicious dinner later & it was so good I was inspired to write this review. I will definitely be going back.”

“Impressive service!,food and atmosphere! THE BEST place in Atascadero to eat. I hate going out to eat (no one cooks as good as home cooking) BUT hands down great food! I loved the patio seating! Not a negative to be found. 40+ year resident and ex waitress . Thank you!!”

“Delicious breakfast cooked to perfection nice quiet atmosphere And reasonable prices considering it’s California”

“My family and i stopped for lunch. The chorizo omlett is delish. Great service. My toddler loved the waffles.”

“We love trivia and bingo nights, it's a chill and fun place to hang out as a family! The arcades are cool and bowling is great! I don't drink beer, but my husband does and he loves their beer, they have won a ton of awards!”

“Everything was so favorable. Especially loved the carne asada and their salsa. Even the chips were delicious - warm and nicely salted. Ordered a burrito bowl, California burrito, and nachos.”

“So happy we re-found these guys! They were AJ’s kitchen on the 41 and we went quite often there. They left that location and came here. It’s a quaint place with small section of seating indoors and a nice patio area outside. Enrique even remembers our names and it’s been at least a yr since we’ve seen him. We have always loved their food. And this time did not disappoint. The salsa was smoked just right. Chips are fresh. The pastrami sandwich was great. And the macaroni salad is the bomb! Seasoned just right. With this location they have beer but only one for the time being. We will definitely be back more now that we know where they are. If you haven’t been here, you are 100% missing out. Go check it out for yourself.”

“The best.coffee.ever. The standard of what all coffee should be measured against. Even in Italy ☕️”

“As always my pizza was supurb as well as the delivery and professionalism of the driver and the person who took my order , of course I will return again and again and recommend Moe's to others that I am in contact with . Thank you so much”

“Met here for lunch today and it was a wonderful surprise! Food is really fresh and delicious! The owner was super nice and attentive without being too much. I had a taco salad with chicken, Paul had albóndiga soup, Renee had chicken flautas and Travis had a torta. We were all impressed with the food and will go back for sure! I highly recommend it! They are also dog friendly on the patio.”

“Such a wonderful, family-run establishment with absolutely amazing and fresh food! The Papusas are sooooooooooo good!”

“Favorite Dive Bar in the central coast! Recommend checking it out”

“We came in based on Scott Pierce's Facebook post, and what a great recommendation! We had the baby back ribs plate as well as the tri-tip plate and omg, it's the best bbq we've ever had. Chef Guy uses Prime grade tri-tip (not Choice like you get in the grocery store) and it totally melts in your mouth. Plus the seasonings he uses are incredible! The ribs were succulent and tasty, the beans were spectacular and I loved the simplicity of the finely grated coleslaw. Don't miss it...we've sampled bbq all over the US and honestly, it was the best we've had!”

“Stoped by for lunch yesterday.. Sorry, but could barely find the hamburger was so thin and small it didn't cover the bun. The flavor was good, but why cut back on the meat.”

“Bar branché sur le Camino Real”

“I'm going to get so fat. My brother ordered chicken pot pie and a peach pie for our father, which I ended up eating half of. Pie is my favorite. There is never a bad time for pie. But this pie is straight from heaven. I will be coming in regularly. It was a great gift. Thank you Bramble!”

“Great food with outdated decor. Chips and salsa are the bomb. Utilizing the lunch menu is always a financially sound decision.
This was the 2-tostada plate. Awesome!!”

“The Chamber is so supportive to the business community and also it's non-profit members. Thank you for always working hard to assure we have the support we need and looking at innovative fresh ideas for Atascadero!”

“With so many Mexican restaurants in town it's hard to set yourself apart. But the food was hot and delicious. The enchiladas were very flavorful. Great sauce. Taquitos were very crispy and delicious. In the shrimp avocado appetizer was plentiful lots of luscious shrimp. I will definitely be back.”

“Cool place, intense food!”

“plenty of places to chill at indoors and outdoors Nice outside patio area in the back”

“My friend and I, on vacation from Florida, have been following TPA since before they opened and finally had a chance to stop by and check it out. I wish we had more time to spend here! Cody was super welcoming and walked us through the current offerings, explaining what made each cider unique. Aside from that, the atmosphere of the space is perfect. It was a pretty chill rainy day and we had great conversations with those around us. Definitely a place to hang if you want friendly people and conversation. I can also see it being high energy during events... just a great place for a fun night. Thank you Cody, for the warm welcome! You are on our "must visit" list for future trips!”

“So delicious we,stop bye, with my mom and my kids, I had Barbacoa tacos with the homemade tortillas and consommé,the kids had Quessa birrierias with the homemade tortilla. The serves was very friendly. We had a great time! Highly recommended!”

“Had a burrito from La Parrilla Taqueria last weekend and I found them interesting. Went back again yesterday and was a bit happy to see there is no lines and yes, the burrito was still the same- hot and yummy”

“I simply love the Lymphatic Care and Goiterex which have proven to be more than excellent products. They work I have been a very happy customer for close to three years.”

“Everything I have tried so far is delicious!! Love the fresh baked breads.”

“When I’m in town this always my go to place. Love the coffee, food, baristas and the atmosphere.”

“I visited the shop while walking my dogs they were very accommodating . My order came pretty quickly and he gave the dogs treats I will definitely y back the coffee was really good also Brian”

“The pizza is absolutely amazing! The service is super slow and somewhat disorganized. Expect to wait a long time for your food, even if you ordered it over 30 to 45 min ago.”

“Best place to visit for a healthy, delicious juice! No added fillers, just fresh pressed amazingness from organic fruit and veggies. By the way, the smoothie bowls are amaaaaazing and if you haven't had one yet...you should 😉”

“Santiago, the owner of Super Fiesta Market and his crew, did an awesome job catering our wedding this April! Everyone loved the tasty yummy food, and we had plenty for some to go plates for our guests. Everything was top notch with the service, food, and display tables. We will be hitting up this spot every time we travel up that way. We highly recommend this place for all your catering needs or just a bite to eat either way you will not be disappointed. Santiago was an easygoing person to work with throughout the whole wedding process. 2 thumbs up for sure.”

“Great Sourdough! I have been buying Brian's Sourdough for years now (from restaurants in Morro Bay and Paso) and didn't even know that it came from here! The crust on the exterior is soft. It is a lot like a French bread, really. But the sourdough yeast starter they use is fantastic. It could be more 'sour' for my liking, but I can tell you that I have been trying to perfect sourdough from a 100 year old Sourdough starter which I obtained from San Francisco a dozen years ago, and I am still working on getting it this good. Brian's bread is a winner.”

“Go to place for Mexican food. I've been numerous times but first review. I got the carne asada Quesadilla to go. It was delicious and packed with steak.
They have a chips and salsa bar. So you can get whatever salsa you want. From pico de gallo to the spicy salsa. There are jalapeños you can add. There are chips under a heating lite. They have beer and soda to choose from.
I highly recommend the nachos. They are big enough to spilt and still be full.”

“The food was amazing. The woman that came by tonight went above and beyond to deliver my egg rolls. Thank you so much for your kindness that you have shown us❤️”

“First time here at The Taco Stand and WE LOVED IT!!! Young lady at counter was very sweet too! We will be back! Alot 😊”

“Good beer and good music on a Friday afternoon. The clientele made me feel young, but it’s good to see parents and grandparents chillin’ and enjoying a brew with sone rock and roll and sone finger picking.”

“Dark Nectar has the best scones around, and an incredible vibe. Come see for yourself!”

“The pastries are exquisite but be ready to pay for the experience of tasting! The espresso drink is priced about what the chains charge so complaint there. The almond croissant had very little of the paste inside which was disappointing. There are breakfast meals available which provide protein and are priced at about what the coffee and croissant cost.”

“It was fabulous. My sister and I came for lunch and left full and happy. Just need to remember they are not open on Mondays. I always forget.”

“Muy buena comida mexicana”

“I had their tacos at the brewery event and all I can say is Wow! Super delicious! ?? You have to visit this place. Family business m, super friendly and the meat is super fresh and tasty. Don’t think twice, just go for it! ? #SpotOn”

“Can’t beat a combination and white sauce with pineapple and chicken! 😋 thank you Pizza Express!! ❤️”

“Great place to hang out and have coffee”

“Very reasonably priced and high quality product and taste. Best Mocha I have ever had and kids loved the green tea smoothies. Offered our puppies, pup cups without us even asking.”

“muy buenas las cervezas 🤣🤣🤣que diga la comida 🤣🤣🤣😋😋”

“Best sushi in all of slo county. Quality is excellent, prices are fair, friendly chefs. I live in Paso and even though we have 4 sushi restaurants I still drive out of my way to A town for Tosh 1.0”

“Generous portions; delicious food; wonderful service; felt right at home! Stacy (our hostess) was warm and friendly. Fast service! If you’re passing through Paso Robles you gotta stop!”

“Went there for the first time. I gave this a 4 star for the food. The choices were ok, but the PHO is ala' cart. That is most likely due to the fact that the place is very small. The spring rolls were very fresh and the dipping sauce tasty. I gave the service a 2 star and that is primarily because there was only one person working, which made perfect sense due to the size of the place, but the service person was sick. It was obvious that the person was sick by the caughing and even admitted being sick. So what on earth would a restauranat want a sick person there working? I was surprised. The atmosphere is fine for a noodle place. Would I go back, on the fence....”

“Superior food. No fat chunks in the meat. Evenly distributed burrito with top notch ingredients. Ummm….yes please. They don’t raise their prices like everyone else!”

“First time ordering and was not disappointed . The dough was nice and fluffy toppings were awesome . I ordered the minis to see how good they were . Best pizza in town highly recommend .”

“Service and food always awesome❤️”

“the chocolate ice cream was delicious. I can't wait to go back. 😋”

“Meet another couple there tonight with no expectations, having none of us ever been to this restaurant. The single plus was that the pizza was pretty good. Everything you expect from a dining experience was horrible. Just to hilight at few; the service was less than inexperienced, the wine selection offered 3 ounce glasses of low end swill. No bottle sales offered. Rip off. They are a corporate restaurant than took the place a local restaurant during covid that was pretty good, but couldn't survive the pandemic. Another tragedy. I won’t go back.”

“The bison burger was delicious, one of the best I've had. The zucchini was perfect done. The service from taking the order, to delivering the food and condiments was superb.”

“This place is sooo good. We had a large order and it was about 20-35 maybe minutes to close . So we called out of courtesy to ask if it was ok.to order and that we had a big order..She was so lucky me and said absolutely..We went in to pick it up and even the cook was smiling..Great service is hard to find for sure. We made sure to tip them both generously. A great attitude goes a long way.”

“Everything about this place is exceptional!! Exceptional coffees and teas, exceptional delicious and VERY fresh food and incredible service!! 🤎🤎🤎”

“Very pleasant ambient music from the 50s

Vegetarian options: You can choose from a variety of vegetables if you only want that.

Parking: Located in a shopping plaza with plenty of space available. The business sign is too small to see on the pole where the names of the businesses appear in the plaza as you drive from south to north. If you are driving from north to south you can see the large sign that is on the business but you cannot see it in the opposite direction.

Kid-friendliness: It has railings on the stairs to go up to the business on the east side of the building.”

“I was referred here by a client who spoke SO highly of their experience here and went to see for myself ;) 10/10 Easy online ordering (cool casual setup to eat in tho, I wish I’d had the time to), courteous service at walk up and a ridiculously delicious sandy, I only spent 12$ bucks. Seriously, throw money at them they’re THAT good”

“Good drinks and small bites.Road access to the parking lot is not ideal!!!Pay attention to your travel direction because the way you enter or exit may not be allowed.”

“Thank you Starbucks!... And a big shout out to the baristas, especially during the Coronavirus!! You guys are amazing, full of smiles & a happy attitude! You make our day feel a little normal!😘💯🌈”

“Always great pizza here! Our go to when we want a good pizza!”
