This restaurant is located in a strip mall with plenty of parking. I came in on a Tuesday morning and noticed a weird smell. I was a little reluctant to eat here after looking around and noticing the decor needed some sprucing up and the bathroom needed a deep cleaning. I ordered a veggie omelette, which had great flavor and had fresh ingredients. I would recommend this restaurant for people who can look past the atmosphere and are looking for a great plate of food. If ambiance is your jam, you may be disappointed

Carnitas omelette
Mark H.

Cake for breakfast. The bistro was pretty empty. The carnitas omelette was good. The portions for their price point seem pretty high for the area, especially for breakfast. The coffee was okay. Service was good. With the high prices, you'd be better off checking out other restaurants in the area with better prices and larger portions

Stopped by for brunch and heard it's a local favorite. Located in a small plaza with ample parking. I ordered the fish tacos which came with 2 tacos loaded with salsa, avocado, and fish. Initially, I wish it came with 3 tacos so it made it seem more worth for what you're paying for, but surprisingly the 2 tacos filled me up by the end. Pretty good tacos that were flavorful.

Cajun pasta and our wine of choice
Angela A.

Sweetest people and owners ! We live in Paso and never eat in Atascadero but I am pretty sure we will be in A TOWN more now! Pasta and shrimp scampi rule! And they let you bring your own wine! Thank you for a relaxing fun early evening !

Seafood pasta special
Erin S.

My favorite lunch place now serves dinner!! If you want homemade food this is the place. The focaccia bread is warm and light...so good! It is hard to eat just one piece! I ordered the salmon dinner...OMG! It was so good! The pesto was creamy and complemented the perfectly cooked salmon! I am not a rice eater but I did have the rice pilaf which was also wonderful! My husband ordered the seafood pasta special. He said the savory combination of shrimp, muscles, clams and cod along with the chorizo was fantastic! We were so full but they had a German chocolate cake special that we had to try! Again, another fabulous combination of the warm, fresh out of the oven, German chocolate cake with the delicious vanilla bean ice cream. The best part of the meal was the owners! They are a lovely local family! Do yourself a favor and come in for dinner !

The staff was very welcoming and able to meet my request for substitutions in my burrito. My grab and go meal was large, delicious and came with a side of fruit. The to go container was biodegradable, and in a paper bag, which is great for the environment! - The space is located in a small strip mall, so I was pleasantly surprised to find that it had unique decor and a welcoming waiting area with Books to browse while waiting (quick wait). - The parking is free and easy. There is a bathroom on site that was fully stocked with paper products. My only feedback would be to spruce up the decor in the bathroom and reconsider the pricing of add-ons for the burrito. I felt five dollars for bacon bits was a bit high.

Had an exceptional meal here, try the New York steak and shrimp

New York steak with shrimp and my wife had the hamburger with sweet potato fries and both were absolutely delicious

$16.75

I wanted to get scrambled eggs to go but they said they don't do a la carte so I spent $16.75 to get the scrambled eggs with potatoes and fruit. I was disappointed that the fruit was not cut up and the orange slice did not look appealing - ended up throwing the fruit out. Then the potatoes were too salty so I couldn't eat them after a few bites. The eggs were wet and tasted mediocre but at least I got some protein in. I'm on the road and thought a name like bistro would get a simple order down but it did not. For $17 bucks, it was a mistake to come in. I should of left when they said they couldn't whip up a side of eggs.

Dinner menu

Atascadero Bistro has been one of our favorite local spots for breakfast and lunch, we were soooo excited to hear that they are opening for dinner as well. Tonight we finally got to try out their dinner menu and we were not disappointed. We started out with the house made focaccia which was delicious. All their bread is made in house and it never disappoints. My husband ordered the seafood pasta that was on special. This came with a delightful mushroom soup that reminded us of a French onion soup. The pasta dish was beautiful with perfectly cooked shrimp. I had the Creole chicken pasta which was a very generous portion and absolutely delicious. This is a family owned and run restaurant. The service is always fantastic. This husband and wife team is such a gem. So talented and kind. All the wood working in the restaurant is done by the chef. We are so happy that they have expanded their offerings to dinner!

Went to lake Park on Sunday to see the car show and with time to kill afterwards, my girlfriend and…read moreI decided to grab some beer. She was excited to get into A-Town and wanted to spin by Traffic Records, but first Wild Fields Brewhouse. Located near the theater in what seemed like an under used strip mall, Wild Fields anchors down a large portion of the building. It felt like a German brewhouse, walking into a wine, open room with bar and booth seating, along with picnic tables. Arcade games dotted the far walls and the kitchen located at the end of the bar. Lots of stainless steel behind the roll up door with a list of what's :in the tanks" on thew glass behind the bar. The top list showed 20 beers available with Berliner Weiss listed as a 3.99 beer. Nice touch, and show this 3.99 beer rotates, as I returned a few days later. After finishing reviewing all the breweries in Paso for the SLO Beer Guide, A-Town was next on my list, but hadn't got down there until this visit. Talking to a couple at Cal Coast, they both agreed that Learning to Fly was their favorite IPA, so that was my mission, to check out this beer. That said, we each got a flight of beers to share and was able to sample 8 different beers from Atascadero Beach, 4101, Windswept Fields and Porch Drinkin' to Mouse Rock, Hop Clarity and License to Fill. We also tossed in Three Bridges and Oktoberfest. Unfortunately, Learning to Fly was sold out, so we left with a can as well as Cloudbreak. The beers, flawless. While not every style I faithfully drink, like brown ales or a Marzen, but am experienced enough to know a well crafted beer when I taste one. Three Bridges won gold at WBC and GABF in 2022, as did Atascadero Beach. MY second trip back I sampled their English Brown Ale, Pine Mountain Monolith, which took home gold in 2021 and 2022 from GABF and WBC, repeating that in 2022 at GABF. As was recommended to me, Learning to Fly, the 7% WCIPA was incredible. As I summerized in my beer review, "Wild Fields' first flight and still a defining one. Simcoe, Mosaic, and Citra at 7% ABV and 100 IBU -- citrusy, piney, dank, tropical, crushable. The brewery's own mixtape, played from the very beginning. Still sounds good." We didn't sample any food while we were there, but they do have an extensive menu in place. Seems like a fun place to hang out and grab some beer and food. We will be back, thanks for the great beer!

We recently moved to Atascadero with our family of 3 and our 1-year-old son, and Wild Fields…read moreBrewhouse has already become a favorite. It's super family friendly, and our son loves the toddler play area. Our nieces also love the arcade games, so it's a great spot for kids and families. The beer is the best we've had in Atascadero, especially the west coast-style pale ales and IPAs like Atasca-where-o, Afraid of the Grade, Mouse Rock, and Hop Clarity. The staff has always been great, the indoor/outdoor space is awesome for groups, and having a full kitchen makes it even better. We even hosted a small lead-in gathering there the night before our son's 1st birthday party, and it was perfect. We're excited to keep coming back and becoming regulars.
