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😁🥪💨💨💨“

“The pizza at Bob's is so insanely good. Everything very fresh, the crust is a perfect thickness, sauce, cheese and toppings all awesome. A really nice vibe inside the restaurant and extremely friendly staff.

*One thing to note: Make sure if you're asking for a single slice of pizza, to request that it is freshly cooked. The pizza has to be cooked fresh out of the oven and that's where one experiences the magic...“

“A hidden gem in SLO! The food was high quality and vibes were great! They make in house Peruvian brandy, which was awesomely delicious. The dessert mousse is amazing! I will definitely eat here every time I visit SLO! The owner was very nice and welcoming too. You can feel at home while dining here. We don’t have anything like this in all of LA area!!!“

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

“Amazing food and ambience“

“Great food and great service!“

“Such a great way to taste wines from all over our area. 2-ounce tastes are great. I enjoyed a couple of whites, then a flight of reds from DRNK for $25. Best tasting variety.“

“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!“

“Bar branché sur le Camino Real“

“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!!“

“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 stop here every time I have a chance, I have visited for years now and it is always amazing, delicious food (señor lomo, muy machito) are my favorites. The service always great-Thank you Aldo and the drinks just just hit the right spot -thank you Mike.“

“Great experience at Scout! The service is top-notch and the shop itself has a great location/vibe.

What to Order:

Rosemary Latte: Unique and delicious.

Orange Cardamom Cappuccino: Highly recommend, super fragrant and smooth.

The Note: The coffee is definitely the star here. The cookie we had was average, so I’d stick to the drinks next time. Overall, a fantastic stop in San Luis Obispo.“

“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!!“

“Excellent flavors Excellent service We will definitely be back“

“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!“

“I had the hot pastrami sooo good 👍“

“My wife and I each got a earl grey milk tea (hers with boba) on a quiet Saturday morning. The woman running the place was friendly and prompt, even with no one in line. The drinks where delicious and not too sweet with a clear, rich tea flavor. The boba had the right texture and each drink came in at about 6 bucks, lower than their menu here on maps.

Their cups are also very high quality and could even be reused for quite some time. I'm looking forward to trying some of their matcha drinks on return visits.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

“Delicious food and a most excellent Bloody Mary.“

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

“I ordered the drunken noodles and the spicy fried rice, and both were so good. Everything came out fresh, hot, and perfectly spicy without being overwhelming. The flavors were super bold and the portion sizes were great too. Definitely one of the best Thai spots I’ve tried in a while!“

“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! 🍕🍻“

“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“

“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!!“

“Delicious, pure, clean Ramen! We had one Tonkotsu Ramen and one Duck Truffel Ramen- both were delicious. Serving size perfect. Flavors were spot one. We started with the Bluefin Maguro Sashimi- very good quality and excellent flavor. Even the beer was good! We opted for the Cyonmage Japanese Beer- terrific lunch! We will visit this place whenever we are in the neighborhood“

“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 🥰“

“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.“

“My wife and I went out for date night, and after scanning the options of where to go, we decided to go to Central Coast Distillery for the first time. I can tell you this, if you have never been, you must go. The food was fantastic, the drinks are legendary, and the staff make’s you feel like Family💕 -constantly joking, and having fun with great vibes. There are only a small handful of restaurants that produce upper tier experience at an affordable price. We will certainly be back for another date night spot.“

“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“

“Scenic rooftop bar with great drinks.“

“We had the bacon wrapped dates, Brussel sprouts and coconut shrimp tacos with key lime pie for dessert. Perfect amount shared by two. Every bite was delicious! Very creative drink menu, non alcoholic. Lovely outdoor seating and dog friendly.“

“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.“
