The service was great, the food presentation was top notch and delicious! We all agreed to come back regularly and make our way through the menu!“

“Libby and her team did my desserts for my wedding and they knocked it out of the park! My now hubby has the biggest sweet tooth so this one was a decision he was apart of! We did a sample tasting where I went and purchased all the cookie and cupcake options and went home and taste. 10/10 recommend that! It was a fun date night we had our friends apart of! The day of the wedding they delivered all my goodies and set things up beautifully! I’m so thankful for Libby and her team at the bakery for being apart of our big day! 💕“

“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!“

“Great food with an easy atmosphere!“

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

“Amazing food and ambience“

“The most creative menu and remarkable Mexican food I have had in years. Everything was unique, obviously make with care and love. Can't wait to return. The beautiful restaurant is loaded with heart and very soulful. These folks know about feeding the heart.“

“Had a large group (12) of close family. Celebrated a birthday, had 10-12 drinks served and ordered up Pollo Las Brisas, Lomo Saltado, Tacu Tacu along with El Mixti and ceviche's. All the food was excellent and very high quality. The saltado was with filet mignon and was delicious. Several family raved about the multiple fish dishes and the Las Brisas was some of the best chicken I've tasted anywhere. The desserts, and we tried 4 of them were all very good. Delicious to the point of being almost decadent... not a bad thing either. The food out did the drinks, so kudos to the chefs for winning this round! Only disappointment was no “Machu Picchu” dessert available on the menu. We'd enjoyed one several years ago and were hoping it was still on the menu. Overall; excellent food, beautiful ambiance and music in the background, average drinks, great desserts and the price was not outrageous for the quality of the evening.“

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

“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“

“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!!“

“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!!“

“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!“

“I had the hot pastrami sooo good 👍“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“When I Go through SLO.. Tiki hut., is a Treat Destination. Glen and Crystal.. are always Accommodating 💯💯 the Yaki Bowls are .,. 💯👍♥️❤️🙂 and the service is Like family. ♥️💯👍💗⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“First time and attended Graduation dinner.
Casual ambiance with multiple seating options on multiple floors. We were seated outside on a warm summer day.
Service was efficient.
Food was presented well, flavorful and portioned perfectly to share.
Overall, a solid spot for a great meal.“

“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 🥰“

“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. ♥️“

“Good service and great food.“

“we absolutely loved Linnaea's Cafe. Tasty espresso, baked good and burritos. Cute establishment, Nice barista in an amazing location. We will be 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“

“Best crust I have had in years“

“We worked with Haute Skillet for our wedding, and would recommend them so very highly! From the start, correspondence and coordination was seamless. We were so impressed by their entire team. When it came time for the wedding day, Haute Skillet provided the most delicious family-style meal for our guests – we received SO many compliments on the food! The service was also exceptional. Thank you, Chef Anna and Haute Skillet team!“

“Great ice cream 🍦 flavors“

“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.“

“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!!“

“These donuts are amazing, they always have what I'm looking for and the people are so kind and caring. When ever I crave donuts I go there. Nothing satisfies my cravings better than these donuts! I recommend it. 10/10“

“The mac and cheese was exceptional with a nice crispy crust to it. The marinara has a subtle spiciness to it that goes fantastic with the meatballs and the pizza. Service was great, cocktails and beer selection was Fanta fantastic, but this pizza...... Chicago style crust is so fluffy, soft and cheesy. The best pizza by far. 10 out of 10. Great restaurant. You guys are killing it“

“I have come here nearly every week or so for years. I order my specific order but I really enjoy the carne asada with the hot (spicy) salsa. I try this order in many many places and it's just not the same...Sandra at the front is really sweet and you'll enjoy a nice lunch here. PS. If you want it just ask for it“

“Fantastic izakaya dishes and wonderful service!

We called ahead to make a reservation, and Gustavo was incredibly accommodating and managed to get us a table right away.
Everything we ordered was incredibly tasty, but the absolute highlight of the meal was definitely the Yellowtail Collar (Hamachi Kama)—it was perfectly grilled, rich, and flavorful.
We also really enjoyed the classic izakaya standard, the Agedashi Tofu (v Perfectly cooked tofu and delicious sauce) and comforting Kitsune soba as well as the perfectly crispy Chicken Karaage served with that delicious spiced mayo dip.

If you're looking for high-quality, authentic Japanese comfort food in SLO, this is a must-visit spot. Great food and even better hospitality!“

“Delicious food and a most excellent Bloody Mary.“

“It’s convenient having so many little shops in the same vicinity. Breakfast, lunch, dinner or a mid-day pick me up the creamery market place has you covered.“

“Their jalapeño potato salad is amazing and their turkey avocado sandwich!“

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

“We had such an amazing experience at La Parrilla Taqueria! What stood out the most was the service. It was truly outstanding. We came in as a large group and pretty close to closing time, and not once did they make us feel rushed or like an inconvenience. The staff kept such a positive, friendly attitude the entire time, and you could tell they genuinely cared about making sure we had a great experience. That alone would bring me back again.

I also loved that you can grab your own chips and salsa from their salsa bar. The chips were fresh and warm, and the salsa options were all delicious.

The aguas frescas are seriously to die for, especially the pineapple. You can taste that it is made fresh with real pineapple, and it is so refreshing.

The food came out fast, even with our big group, and everything tasted really good. The portions are generous for the price, which makes it even better.

Overall, such a great experience. Between the amazing service, great attitude, and delicious food, we will definitely be coming back next time we visit!“

“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.“

“I decided to go with a recommendation from one of the hotel staff La Esquina.

I was warmly received when I walked in and said I was okay with a spot at the bar because I didn’t want to take a table away from other paying customers unnecessarily but nonetheless the hostess provided me with a table.

I ordered the steak fajitas and as someone who is VERY picky about the quality of steak fajitas, that thought was put to rest instantly. The steak was tender, perfectly flavored and seasoned and paired with the onions and peppers on the hot plate, it simply hit the spot perfectly.

The star though was not the steak; it was my server Francisco who embodied hospitality and was so personable. To put it simply, he made the dining experience with his service!

I look forward to returning on my next SLO layover!“

“Never disappoints! Food is excellent whether you dine in or have it delivered!“

“Donna did a great job taking my order and making sure everything was correct, the cooks in the back do a fantastic job with the food and have been a returning customer ever since. This restaurant is a sit down and relax type of place which has a strong connection to the community of Atascadero. A lot of hard workers and retirees come here for peace and food from what I have noticed. Very reasonable price for the amount of love that goes in the food and quality it is.“

“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.“
