“Driving through town, we needed a bite and want to thank all you 5-star reviewers of Spoon Trade for steering us here because the food was fantastic! It was a busy Saturday afternoon and we got one of the last tables available. Super friendly service straight away and a great vibe all around. Very interesting menu! A diner for foodies. Wife had the vegetarian Tikka with a side sausage patty, which she loved, and my son had the Benedict, which of course I tasted via dad tax and it was rich and yummy. I was going to get the chicken and waffles, which looked delicious on other people's tables, but opted for the duck noodle soup, which was a tasty ramen. It was on the pricy side, but everything was such great quality, original recipes, and made to order. We look forward to visiting again!“
“Stopping through on a trip back to town and wow ? best taqueria I’ve ever had and Mexican style food is my absolute favorite. Couldn’t recommend this place enough. Great service and very clean establishment. Can’t wait to come back next road trip.“
“Quick service even during a busy Saturday night. Everything was tasty. Price was very reasonable. I especially loved the chili spuds. Chile Verde tacos were on point! Had "I'm this many:4. Beer. Very delicious taste. Surprisingly smooth for a 10% abv.... I'm from Humboldt county and found HUMdingers by accident and was very impressed! Vibrant yet chill enviro“

“The food was fresh, yummy and a welcome change from the rest of our road trip food. We ordered ahead to pick up and eat in the car. The order was correct and has all the right stuff like napkins and cutlery. Definitely will stop by again next time we're in town.“
“Cool vibe, great service, and awesome music. Good range of local beer, wine, and cider. Light snacks available too. The owners were mixing records while we were there and told us that Thursdays are "bring your own record" days. If you come early, they might even be able to teach out to spin on our own. Perfect addition to SLO: great for a date spot or casual night out.“
“Oishi Goshi! Goshi takes the spot for best Asian food in SLO, and that's not just because there are a grand total of less than 10 Asian food places in SLO. They offer a fanfare of great tasting Japanese dishes, from sushi to donburi to udon. Service is impeccable and impressive considering how busy this place gets relative to the wait staff here. It's apparent that they take the extra step to try to source quality, fresh fish and ingredients where they can. I like to order from the colored "specials paper" which has seasonal fish and chef's specials that try to incorporate recent catches/shipments. I will say this, though: Goshi is not a super high-end establishment that crosses every T and dots every I. Just today I had a piece of lotus tempura that was notably old/sour, and that's okay! For the overall quality and cost, I don't think there's a better deal around, and I'm certain that there's nothing comparable as far as JP food goes within an hour's drive. The interior of the restaurant feels nice and vibrant, in no small part due to the crazy hecticness that I mentioned earlier. It's notoriously difficult to get a seat here, so if you're doing a walk-in, come early at the start of lunch/dinner service and expect a 90 minute wait. Otherwise, get a headstart with a reservation online.“

“So excited to have this location open. Selection of beer is epic and hear that they have regular rotations so your choices are varied. They have snacks for purchase and food trucks on the weekends. Patio is perfect to enjoy a beautiful day or evening. It's dog and kid friendly so everyone can enjoy.“
“We didn't try any of the snacks that they had available there, but did try out some of the beers that they had available. By far my favorite was the Wolf & Tan. We also enjoyed playing shuffleboard and Cards Against Humanity there as well“
“I grew up next to a Me n Eds in Fresno, it's what pizza is supposed to taste like. They've reproduced both the restaurant and the pizza exactly as I remember it.If you've never tried this place, do it. It's a unique pizza, sooooo good“
