Pappy's Restaurant is like stepping back in time. From the staff to the atmosphere and decor. This is a family place and a truckers home along the road. They play old country music that takes you back to childhood and there are a million photos of cowboys and Rodeos from days gone by. The tables and booths are all comfortable seating and the staff are helpful, polite, friendly and fast.
The food is ALL fresh. The chopp all fresh veggies for sides, salads, and recipes themselves. Dressings are home made. Gravey + mashed potatoes, all homemade. And folks the gravey is to die for no matter what kind you get. The chicken fried steak is HOMEMADE like my mother used to make. They serve all the best breakfast, lunch, and dinners from home. Meatloaf, lasagna, roast beef, fish, tir-tip everything, steaks, and the list goes on and on. It's the best fresh, authentic, in your mother's and grandma's kitchen cookin'. Pappy's is like being wrapped up in sunshine on the best day of childhood 🌻. There's no place better in my book.

Guys on the CB radio said that this was the best place to eat and that they fed you well. But oh my word, the turkey dinner that came out was enough to feed three people. We usually split a dinner at truck stops because they always feed you well. But this was enough for three people not just two! And it was absolutely delicious! The dinner was $20 and it was enough to feed three! Highly recommend!

I love a good ol fashion diner and pappy's answered the call. Hearty menu, full portions, affordable prices. The chicken fried steak was great, good tenderness with solid gravy. The biscuit was ok, a little on the drier side. The vanilla shake was awesome, and it came the old school way with the cup of extra, always a good call.

I decided to try this restaurant because I was coming in for an event from out of town. Boy was I glad that I ordered from this place. Their food was great, portions were huge, and service was awesome. Friendly staff and very reasonable prices, what more can you ask for? I loved their Santa Maria Tri Tip Enchiladas and their Meat Loaf Dinners. Try it out and I think you'll like it.

I stopped by this restaurant on my way up to SLO and was very satisfied. My server was very friendly and attentive. The chicken fried steak was very good with a side of mashed potatoes and fries. You also get the choice of a soup or salad, so I asked if they could make me a Caesar which was very fresh and tasty (not pictured). I will definitely come back if I find myself in Santa Maria. This is a nice retro diner with very reasonably priced food and I would like to try some other dishes here in the future!

The food was excellent and served hot on a hot plate,which kept the food hot.
It’s an okay place if it’s your only option don’t know if it’s just because it’s Monday or what but my food has no flavor it was bland and grainy , I waited an hour just to get the check to leave ughhh

The tri- tip sandwhich was delicious as well as the French bread crispy. The steak and potatoes were really good. Potatoes and fries no salt and fresh. Really good place to eat. Service was good.
The tri-tip sandwich was dry and overcooked
Breakfast is fantastic!
