    Ask for the April Special!
    Dave R.

    We have been regular weekly breakfasr diners for years now. Great food! You have to try an April Special!

    Carne Assad fries
    Nicolas J.

    So last time I was here was several years ago, I don't pass this way often going to San Francisco but it was on the path this time and was an appropriate time for breakfast / lunch / brunch. Tried the corn beef hash with their potatoes and scrambled eggs. Gf had the teriyaki burger which was good with the right amount of sauce. Fries served with the burger were seasoned just right as were my potatoes so additional sauce like ketchup wasn't needed. Jukebox was playing near the end of our meal adding to this very retro 50s diner vibe they got going on. Decent size parking lot. Service didn't take long from seating to being served, if anything the only delay was on our part deciding what to eat since they have many different and good sounding options. Worth a try if passing through

    Another shot of their basic hamburger..... which tastes sooooo much more than basic!

    A classic diner feel.... well into the 21st century! My husband & I are both born & raised here in North San Luis Obispo County, & we've had the pleasure of dining at A-Town Diner many, many times throughout the years. We've never been disappointed! The staff are great; always friendly, helpful, & they check in with their diners often to ensure a pleasant experience. When it comes to their food, they have a selection for anyone, & it's consistently delicious! FYI ~ They have the BEST crinkle-cut french fries! We love A-Town Diner, & we know you will too!

    Ice cream Sundae
    Shay J.

    We stopped in for some dessert. Service was great. We went in one hour before closing and our waitress was very kind and also made some pretty awesome Sundaes. If you stop in here for a sweet treat, you won't leave disappointed!

    "Bacon" cheeseburger well done...no bacon and not well done.

    I'd heard their food was better under the new owners so I decided to try them again. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger and fries through door dash. Order arrived with no bacon, it wasn't well done it was quite pink, and it had a tiny piece of cheese. The fries were overcooked and greasy. Sorry to say I won't be going back, I've never been happy with their food. Also for the price the burger was small as was the portion of fries.

    PRHS Class of 1971 at lunch.

    Paso Robles High Hchool class of 71 had lunch. The service and the food was good. It was good spending time at this location with students from the past who have remained friends. This is a good place to go back to.

    A-town burger, subbed rings for fries
    Garrett R.

    A local mainstay for many years, you'll always walk away satisfied and full. I enjoyed the A-town burger this go-round. Two flat top griddled patties, bacon, avocado, and the traditional fixins on a fresh bun. Each burger/sandwich comes with fries and the option to substitute onion rings, mozzarella sticks, sweet potato fries, or zucchini sticks. The menu has something for everyone, so even the most finicky eaters can find something. Service was prompt, friendly, and attentive. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner, I can tell that any local will point you in the direction of A-town diner.

    Eggs, bacon, hash browns, Chocolate chip pancakes
    Eden S.

    The food here is SO SO good and reasonably priced! The people working here are great as well. My girlfriend had a special request for chocolate chip pancakes (they weren't on the menu) and our waitress said "we don't say no here!" I will definitely be back, possibly every weekend until I move!

    Build your own omelette with egg whites, bacon, spinach, mushrooms, bell pepper, onion, and jack cheese.  ‍

Maybe it is because we are watching "Yellowstone" on TV, but I was craving the flavor of the Old West, which can still be found in many places around SLO. We returned to Pig Iron Restaurant in Templeton, where we had dined about three years ago when they very first opened up! it was kind of bare and spacious our first time there. It was great to see how they have added to the space and now have room for multiple functions! There's a huge outdoor dining patio with a coffee pick up bar. There's a an indoor dining area where you order your food at a counter. There's also the Club Car Bar with its own separate room. I remembered that Pig Iron sando was good. My husband ordered the Pig Iron. I went for two smoked chicken, Cowboy Tacos, and our friend got a burger. We topped it all off with onion rings. It's the kind of place that you order at a counter in the Merchandise room, then take a buzzer to your table. We commandeered a large booth in the fairly small dining room. It has maybe eight or 10 tables. There is are a couple lounge chairs by the fireplace, which is very cozy on a cool day. By the time our food was ready, the dining room was full. That Pig Iron pulled pork sando is worth the trip! The meat is super tender, and the sauce is piquant and not too spicy. Topped with cole slaw, it is a perfect lunchtime meal. Burger was also nicely done kind of a smashed burger. The tacos were aptly named Cowboy Tacos, as I felt that they were gringo tacos. They were bland, since they didn't have sauce on them and the chicken was in tiny chunks and not shredded. The onion rings were crispy and fun to dunk in the Ranch dressing. We hunkered down cowboy style and enjoyed our meal, talking about about outer space and the moon trip while enjoying our food in the cozy ambience of an evocative historic setting!

Excited to have some with my coffee, I ripped off a piece almost immediately and noticed the nice crust on the outside. 5 stars for the crust!! As for the flavor, it seemed a little flat. It was lacking some of the wheaty-tangy flavor you would get from a longer prove/fermentation. The inside of it was also missing all those nice deep pockets you see in a French baguette. Overall, not a bad baguette, but not one that you yearn for. I'd like to mention the young lady Annabel I had the privilege of meeting outside of the bakery. She was on a delivery run, but told me about their IG page, and we had a wonderful chat about cookies. Thank you for your time, Annabel, you are awesome!

The donuts are very beautifully decorated and the time that was spent decorating them shows. The customer service was patient, kind and very helpful.
