Go anywhere else, food was not very good, service needs many improvements. First time we tried to go about a year ago we stood in the front for 20ish min (not exaggerating) without seeing any workers/servers/bartenders, ended up walking out. We tried to give that a second chance tonight. This place had the vibe of someone's first restaurant who knew nothing about restaurants before opening it.

Food was great but because we had a group of 6+, we felt ignored by staff because we get charged 20% tip period so they didn't feel the need to come by the table very often. They lost out on alcohol, and desert . Very disappointed and probably not going back even though the food was good.

When they first opened, we thought that the food and the service were great but over the last year it is declined. Five of my last to go orders were wrong when I got them home and when I called, they said sorry it’s nothing we could do there’s no manager here. When I ate in the restaurant a couple times the food was awful so sad. It was such a great place.

My experience at Jack’s Bar and Grill in Paso Robles was nothing short of exceptional, and that’s largely thanks to our incredible server, Lily. From the moment we sat down, Lily went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and taken care of. Her energy was upbeat, her timing was perfect, and her recommendations were absolutely spot-on.
We had a few questions about the menu, and Lily was not only knowledgeable but genuinely enthusiastic about helping us choose the best dishes. Her attention to detail and friendly attitude made all the difference. You could tell she really cared about making our experience special.
The food and drinks were delicious (highly recommend the tri tip tacos), but honestly, it was Lily’s outstanding service that made our night memorable. She checked in just the right amount, made sure we never ran low on drinks, and handled everything with such grace and professionalism.
If you’re heading to Jack’s, ask for Lily—you won’t regret it. She’s an absolute gem and truly elevates the whole experience. We’ll definitely be back, and you can bet we’ll be asking for Lily again!

My wife and I usually eat at the bar when it's just us too. Service is really well. Food has gotten a lot better from when they first opened. If you haven't been there since they opened I would suggest giving them another try.

I got the French Dip. Meat was cut too thick and had gristle, so impossible to eat without pulling the meat out of the bread. (In a proper French Dip the meat should be tender and cut paper thin). And“toasted hoagie” roll was just a bland white bread roll (should be a… wait for it… French roll). The dip came in a very small bowl and I ran out after half the sandwich. I got the “filthy fries” which were just sort of a gooey mess with surprisingly little flavor. All in all, it was pretty disappointing. I won’t be back.

This was the first time we have eaten here. The food was delicious. I had the tri tip salad and my husband had the ahi poke bowl. We also had two yummy desserts. Nice atmosphere. The staff was very efficient and friendly. We will definitely eat here again.

I would highly recommend, the food is excellent. The calamari appetizer is a favorite. Everything we’ve tried has been absolutely delicious. The place is clean and nicely decorated. The staff is friendly and efficient. Easy parking. A++++

The food items I've had have been good. The service is good also. Sometimes it may be a little slow but I've never had bad service. I really like the tacos. The tri-tip and carnitas are the best. The chicken is fine but the others are better. If you want a good deal, the street tacos on the Taco Tuesday special are pretty good and a nice value.

Our server, Dayna, was the best! I had a complex order and she nailed it perfectly! However, the food was 'eh'. My burger was very, very dry, eggs were overcooked, and bacon was like precooked bacon. I couldn't finish the burger. (The last time I ate here for dinner the food was fantastic! ) The highlight of my visit was Dayna. She was great!

Beyond impressed with the service! The food is always great. On Saturday we visited with our friends of which the mother and 12 year old son both have celiac disease. The son was terribly disappointed to learn the chips for nachos were fried in a shared fryer. His mom still ordered the nachos for him just all the fixings without chips and the dad said he would run to the market next door and get some chips. Son was still bummed.l but agreeable. The waitress came back and said the chef would happily take the safe chips to the kitchen and use those to prepare the nachos. The look on this kids face was priceless! He was so happy. Trash can nachos came out beautifully and our friends were so moved by the waitress and chef going the extra mile.

SO GOOD!! I got the chicken BLT. The sourdough was grilled and had huge bacon and fresh tomatoes and lettuce with a great sauce. My wife got the chicken Asian salad with mandarin oranges and great fresh greens. They have a full bar and beer choices.
