We had dinner 3 times at this place and it was excellent. Now when we went last week with a reservation the hostess put us right in front of the serving station. We told her we would like a different spot since there were so many empty tables. Next she put us next to the door entrance. Such poor service. So many empty tables. We just walked out and left. If I was running a business like that the hostess would be fired. I will never step foot in that place again, thanks to the hostess

Ian and his family should be quite proud of this place. We are visiting friends from Arizona and they said McPhee's was the place to go for our dinner out together.
We had such a great time. The atmosphere was so nice (lightimg, decor, etc). Noise level was great. Our server Stephanie did a fantastic job. The food was amazing. Everyone walked away happy.

We don't love in area. We went when we stayed in Paso Robles 3 years ago. It was so good, now that we were visiting Morro Bay we went into Paso Robles for they day and made a point of eating here again.

Just went to McPhees new to area, I will not be returning. Service was just OK, food was over priced. DON'T order the aged Rib eye very thin and flavorless. I can buy a better steak at Costco. Very disappointed for the price. The only highlight to the dinner was the dessert.

One of the best steak houses on the 101. Their food is always delicious, and their tomato ranch dressing is worth taking extra home. I drive 4 hours just to eat here,and it's worth the drive

McPhees has been around a long time and remains a great restaurant. Great food, great service; but the building is old, tired and not too inviting!
Absolutely outstanding! McPhee’s Grill is hands-down one of the best dining experiences in Templeton. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with a perfect blend of rustic charm and upscale comfort.
The food? Incredible. We started with a few appetizers that were perfectly executed—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The steaks were next level —juicy, expertly cooked, and full of rich, smoky flavor. You can tell they source quality cuts and know exactly how to treat them.
Their wood-fired pizza was also a huge hit at our table—crispy crust, delicious sauce, and premium toppings. It’s not often you find a place that does both steaks and pizza this well!
Service was friendly, knowledgeable, and on point. You can tell the team takes pride in what they do.
If you're anywhere near Templeton, McPhee’s Grill is a must-visit. We’re already planning our next visit. Five stars all the way!

Brandi did an excellent job. The staff made an immediate adjustment due to a food allergy in our group.
