50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Santa Margarita

“The breakfast burrito that Trevor, Nikki and team are putting together here is fabulous! Very welcoming environment. My 4th time eating here and I've tried different things every time. It's all good! 😃“

“Went for lunch on a recent trip to California. Everything was very nice and their wine is excellent. Too bad that it is not located at the vineyard. The best experience that I have had at other places was restaurants and tasting rooms at vineyards, often with great views of the vines.“

“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. ♥️“

“Delicious! Amazing service! Vibes unmatched. We got 4 different sandwiches and we all loved them. 10 out of 10 ⭐ "High"Ly recommend😁🥪💨💨💨“

“I’ve been here a handful of times and I can assure you the team at Kiko’s does not miss. From the moment you step in, everyone makes you feel at home. The staff seems genuinely excited to teach you about the cuisine and they always bring the best energy. Food is always incredible, the seafood risotto special was a 10/10. Paco worked with us to make sure the night was special and did an amazing job. Couldn’t speak higher of this establishment.“

“Great food and great service!“

“Amazing food and ambience“

“We love Ziggy’s!! GREAT delicious plant-based comfort food and warm, fast, friendly service! I love the spicy Buffalo Chicken sandwich, the Avalon burger with arugula and Gouda, the Black Bean Taquitos, and the Avocado Tacos. Ziggy’s is absolutely awesome! Live long and prosper, Ziggy’s!“

“Sam and Mariah are such exemplary and loving community members that their bread is as good as it is. And Mariah just started making the best scones on top of all the love and work she pours into bread all morning!! Her and Sam work as crazy hard as they do because they love it and we love you bread bike!!“

“Absolutely my favorite place to eat. Great atmosphere. I recommend the ribeye or the prime rib if you're a meat eater.“

“Moving away from SLO and will miss the pizza and crew from Mikes! Simply the best pizza anywhere. Not just SLO. Not just California. Not just the US. Anywhere! The sourdough crust is unreal and the quality and flavor combos knock your socks off. Next time I am back in SLO the first stop will be Mikes for a Shroomies. Keep it up guys“

“I love, love, love Sequel. Love the staff and owner, they are all so kind. The quality of their drinks are unmatched. Boba is cooked perfectly! Let me put it to you this way….I drive all the way from Lemoore California to get this drink(90 miles). Keep up the good work!!!!“

“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!!“

“Food was great, but the service was super slow. If service had been better it would’ve easily been 5 stars.

Had the tacu tacu, el Misti, and the gyoza. All delicious. Dessert was the rice pudding, and wasn’t the best in my opinion.“

“I had a great meal with my family here over the weekend. I accidentally left my Ray Ban’s on the table and sure enough, the staff grabbed them and kept them safe until the next day. Thank you guys.“

“Excellent flavors Excellent service We will definitely be back“

“I had the hot pastrami sooo good 👍“

“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.“

“As locals, this is our hidden gem! The variety of food is simple, but the flavors are amazing. Food portions are more than enough, and the friendly-family service makes you feel welcome every time. Don’t miss this special spot when traveling through Highway 41 West, as it is a must for lunch or dinner. Great specials when available, & tasty local beer and wine selections. Also, they are dog friendly and outside seating is a plus on those beautiful days. Cheers!“

“Pretty good stuff from what I saw. I was there visiting a friend.“

“Amazing Gluten free options as well as great burgers!“

“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!“

“We were here for the first time, and it won't be the last! Great food & beers & service!“

“Beautiful ambiance. The guitar player’s music hit just the right balance of soul/jazz. The dishes were fantastic and the portions substantial.“

“Bar branché sur le Camino Real“

“The food was delicious and all ingredients were so fresh. Great value. I will definitely return.“

“Had a very positive experience at Scout Coffee. It showed in several travel videos for SLO so I decided to try it while visiting and was not disappointed. This coffee store has a very friendly and relaxed vibe and it is clear the business is frequented by locals and the staff and locals are familiar with each other. It is a nice place downtown to sit and relax while enjoying a well executed coffee drink. The staff is friendly and efficient.“

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

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND! This is an impressive family oriented winery place. It’s beautiful and uses a dry method. Dean was an amazing and knowledgeable wine expert and walked through every type which by the way we loved each one. We also met Lucas and Nicole! Thank you so much!“

“Benny’s Pizza Palace is the real deal! Amazing Detroit-style pizza with that perfect crispy edge, a cool laid-back atmosphere, and a staff that makes you feel right at home. It’s the perfect SLO spot to grab a slice, sip something cold, and vibe with the locals. Highly recommend! 🍕🍻“

“Absolutely wonderful Thai food if you're looking for a great place to eat for lunch or dinner in San Luis Obispo you have to check out the Thai Palace which is right downtown tucked away in a little alley. A lot of their food can be prepared gluten free and it's clearly marked on the menu. I would say Don't just settle for the pad thai but get something really incredible like the Pad Gra prow. Also if you like ginger you definitely have to check out their hot ginger tea it's very similar to what we make at home very strong Ginger flavor very healthy just delicious. The service was phenomenal the food was awesome and the atmosphere was very cool. I will definitely be back with my family. I don't think there are any Chinese restaurants in the area in Pismo or SLO that offer gluten-free but I think this place is even better. Also if you're vegan I think they have options for that too.“

“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!“

“The meat is deliciously superb! The brisket is incredibly moist and explodes with flavor! Super happy with our choice to come here.“

“Best crust I have had in years“

“BEST RAMEN IN SLO !! We ordered the Seared Pork Belly Tonkotsu, Pork Shoulder Spicy Miso, and Cold Ramen. Overall, the ramen was super yummy and I really enjoyed the nice atmosphere and ambiance of the place. 😋

Although the food is on the pricier end, I believe it's worth the price.

There's also indoor and outdoor seating available but we sat outdoors with the heaters on since it was a little breezy that day. We placed a reservation but they take walk-ins as well.

I would highly suggest this spot for a first date or for a nicer occasion. I'll definitely be back!“

“Huge fans of Central Coast Distillery! Excellent cocktails, food and service. Eric, Anna and their staff are the best. They distill their own award winning spirits. And Eric is a legendary chef and story teller. Anna is an exceptional hostess. And the staff is engaged and charming. They have a lot of regular customers. Which I’m sure after your experience you will become one as well.“

“Great food and good vibes“

“Sidecar is a must here in San Luis Obispo! The staff and the owners and everything about the place will knock your socks off. I think it’s high time. You guys open a second Sidecar by me in So Cal!“

“Awesome so nice ☕☕ very good cup!!“

“Jill makes you feel so welcome! The Thai Basil makes me happy and the other customers are all so nice. Made it to Bingo Nite and I am so sad I don't live closer or I would be there every Tuesday!“

“We had the most tasty Peruvian food in downtown San Luis Obispo at Coya in their new location at 851 Higuera St, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401. The chicken saltado one of the best I have ever had. The beef empanada large. The passion fruit drink, Maracuya, refreshing. All house made authentic Peruvian food. I hope you will visit Coya and enjoy the food as much as we did. The ambience beautifully decorated with traditional Peruvian products, clothing, hats, purses, dolls, cookies, coffee and lamas. Large dinning room and outdoor seating nice. We can’t wait to visit again to try More Peruvian food. Catalina the owner, very welcoming and took good care of us. Thank you 🥰“

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

“I love Petra’s! We found this place at the beginning of Covid and have been going ever since. Last week driving from northern to southern CA we stopped for lunch(of course). I got distracted and left my purse…didn’t notice until Santa Maria. Called, of course they had my purse…AMAZING CREW AMAZING FOOD! Thank you“

“Christmas “cinnamon roll wreath” too large to carry back to PS ! Awesome ! Will bring the truck next year !! Incredible choices and wonderful staff ! Lots of GF stuff.“

“Scenic rooftop bar with great drinks.“

“Eddies Grill has become my go to for burgers. The cheese burger is juicy, large and with much flavor. The buns are soft and do not fall apart. cannot wait until I grow tired of their burgers and try another sandwich. Bty the fries are really good to0.“

“Delicious food and a most excellent Bloody Mary.“

“We loved it! Excellent breakfast! Laid back atmosphere with friendly service. We especially loved the pancakes.“

“Everytime we go to Humble Oven we have an awesome experience. The kids love the pizza and we tried the Smash Burger 'Za at the Farmers Market and it became one of our new favorites! My wife and I love the Humble Salad so much that we replicate the salad at home. Staff is on top of it and we make it our go to whenever we can. This place is a gem and highly recommend it to others.“
