Fried green tomatoes with chili crisp and fried egg & arugula slaw. SO good!
KT S.

Second visit & this time brought my partner who loves biscuits. SO good! He got one of the daily specials - fried chicken sandwich with friend green tomatoes. I got a fried green tomato biscuit with a fried egg. Seriously, so delicious. Highly recommend!!

Fried chicken entree with dark meat and 2 sides. Fries and grits
Farhana M.

I was super happy to find this mostly gluten free place, and they serve halal chicken! The staff is very knowledgable on which options were and were not gluten free. The blueberry dirty soda was good I liked the pickled okra. I got the fried chicken entree with dark meat and fries and grits. The grits were nicely salted. However the rest of the meal was not. The chicken was really underseasoned, probably not seasoned at all. So was the biscuit and it was very dry as well. I was told only the buttermilk biscuit is gluten free so i expected it to taste like buttermilk but this was like a cornbread biscuit. This place would be perfect if they seasoned the food more

A bunch of us tried some of the food offerings over at the new San Luis Ranch Market the other day. It was raining, so we all sat inside where there was a lounge area as well as both regular tables and high-level tables. We shared the food, and discovered a lot of new additions to the SLO area cuisine. Two of my friends got the biscuits from Baby Bear Biscuits. One got the bacon, lettuce, tomato, and avocado on a biscuit and the other got gravy and biscuits. I got to taste some of the BLT and it was delicious. It also had that full rich flavor of the biscuit to kind of pump up the volume. It's huge, like four biscuits in one, so the servings are very large. We had fun dining inside, but it is kind of a food court experience. Don't expect tablecloths or service. You have to walk over to each vendor and order what you want, and then basically get it as takeout to take to your table. Always fun to try new things and we left with lots of new dining options.

Biscuit with ham, egg, bacon, and bacon jam
Julie S.

I went to Baby Bear Biscuits a couple of times when I was in SLO. The first day, I got the biscuit with ham, bacon, and bacon jam. It was really amazing, full of flavor, and more like a meal than just a biscuit sandwich. When I came back, I ordered the biscuit with the fried green tomatoes, and it was really delicious. I liked how it was a little bit lighter and very fresh. Though neither biscuit really seemed possible for me to pick up and eat, I had to use a knife and fork for both of them. Food was made to order and very fresh. I agree with what others have said that the service is slow, and the staff don't seem very friendly or welcoming. When you walk up, they don't even look up. We did get acknowledged with a gruff "in a minute" on the second visit. Also, it does seem to take a bit of time for the food to come out. I appreciate that it was made fresh to order.

Johnny Cakes & biscuit
Terry C.

I am so excited to find this place. I cannot eat gluten & all but 2 items that they have are gluten-free! I had the Johnny Cakes (like pancakes) & their sausage patties are REALLY good! My husband had fried chicken & Mac n cheese (Mac n cheese not gluten-free) The gal that took orders among other things, was really helpful with suggestions. I had their very fresh iced tea & there were free refills. The other item that is not gluten-free is gravy for the biscuits. The biscuits are made fresh in the front where you can watch. I had a biscuit with their homemade jam too! We were traveling & went there 2 days in a row. Highly recommend!

I have visited Baby Bear Biscuits three times, and I loved it every time! I buy the breakfast sandwich, egg, cheese, bacon on those wonderful, amazing biscuits! It's consistently superb, with the right amount of each topping. It's also much bigger than the average breakfast sandwich at any fast food place. Service is very friendly; the owner is generally onsite and he clearly wants happy customers. It takes a little extra time because they are cooking to order, so maybe plan to spend a few minutes waiting. It'll be worth it. Their beverages are bottled; no fountain drinks. Seating is wide open, both inside and outside.

Piggy Wiggly
Sweeny Y.

I wanted to like this place but some things were kind of meh. In their defense, what I ordered was really hearty and thick and I should have read the menu more carefully. I ordered the Piggy Wiggly (wiggy?) which had bacon jam, strips of bacon, and ham. It was just overkill; I didn't think they'd put so much everything. The service was also oddly slow. A few people went up to the counter to double check on their order. It was really busy since we went The Weeknd before Easter and there was an Easter egg hunt going on for children but other than that it was pretty casual. The biscuit itself was delicious; I just wish I got something more simple. I'd be willing to try it again with something else lighter on the menu.

See the dough...looks like there be some baking going on!

Last time I was I the SLO Ranch Farms and Marketplace was at the March 21 "soft opening" event for several of the restaurant establishments there in. That was quite an event and one of the restaurants, Baby Bear Biscuits, was more than intriguing and so a return trip was planned. Recently we made the trip and had another opportunity to not only to converse with Chef Norwood Pryor regarding his dedication of farm to table fare but to order several dishes from his Menu. From the moment we stepped up to order to our departure...all staff were helpful, friendly and attentive. The ambiance/atmosphere was as first experienced at the "soft opening" ...pleasant and airy, with a good buzz and plenty of available seating. Our order consisted of Appetizers: Fried Green Tomatoes (3/5 - not as "stunning" as I expected (crust was "soft", not "crisp" like I prefer)...but better for some reason as leftovers in the following days at home). Sandwiches: Fried Chicken Sandwich (5/5 - WOW...give this one a try, it's down right delicious!) and from the Special Plates: Shrimp and Grits (5/5 - Fabulous presentation and really yummy!) The portions served are more than plentiful so plan on taking some of your meal home ("the value factor"). After our meal Chef came out to thank us for returning...perhaps he remembered my Stetson hat from our first meeting. What stood out from our conversation was his "passion" for his craft. He was completely engaging, and invited us to return soon. Thank-you Chef! We enjoyed our dining experience with Baby Bear Biscuits in the SLO Ranch Farms and Marketplace and on this occasion, in this Yelper's opinion...Baby Bear Biscuits earned this definite "recommend" 4 Star review.

Back again! Baby Bear is consistently a great place to feel the warmth of the South on a breakfast plate. It has become one of our favorites!

Kendrick L.

As welcoming as the name sounds, they didn't have a very friendly staff, but at least the food was great. The lady taking orders seemed very rush even though we were the only ones in line, it felt like "order your food and leave" kind of vibe. I ordered the pancakes with cinnamon and strawberries, not sure what it was called, but it was delicious. They gave me my food with no syrup or anything so it was dry at first, so I had to go back and get some. They had a weird mix of wooden utensils and metal utensils (for example they had metal forks but were out of metal spoons, so they had some wooden ones out). This kinda surprised me that they were out of utensils since I was there shortly after they opened. I would probably go back since I enjoyed slo ranch farms, but if there were other brunch options, I'd definitely like to try that out.

Chicken plate white meat two sides
Dominic D.

I was surprised to see the reviews on this establishment, I would say one of the best fried chickens for the area. Even better customer service. The employee who took our order forgot about our order, when we asked how much longer she apologized and found out where we were seated outside and gave us a huge red velvet cake for free. You rarely see that type of customer service these days. Additionally, she brought our food out to us when it was ready, I'm not sure if they always do that but out of the the restaurants there they were the only ones to do that. Now to the chicken, extremely fresh, moist, and breading was crunchy. I wish they had some sort of hot sauce. The Mac and cheese was great as well but chicken was the star of the show. We did not choose to sit inside but the area looked clean and would sit there if it wasn't a nice day outside.

Great location. Great food, and fantastic staff. The Chicken sandwich was Delicious, perfectly fried. Fried Green tomatoes had the perfect sauce paring. There were a generous portion of shrimp. The Grits were a bit watered down for my taste although tasted very good.

Making the biscuit dough
Stacey R.

Really enjoyed this cute little place. The owner was there taking orders and also cooking in the back. He was extremely friendly and was happy to answer. Any questions about the menu. I got three individual biscuits all plain for my husband and I got a biscuit breakfast sandwich. All of it was fabulous and I love that it was fresh and made to order. The biscuits were fluffy. The egg was prepared well and my husband enjoyed the plain biscuits with just a little butter on them.

Crispy Chicken and grits.

We have eaten at a few places this weekend and this was the stand out…read more They offer Mac and cheese, choice of six cheeses and plenty of add ( bacon, broccolini, mushrooms). They offer about 10 interesting delicious salads. 6 kinds of Brussels sprouts, omg! And so many sliders, beef, chicken, Ahi, steak, pork? With enticing toppings. You've got to see this place to believe it. You can order 1-4. Tasting size and mix them up. We were 3 people and had nine different items. They have shared plates, which I find the concept a little awkward. You have to agree on the plates then there is the problem of Am I taking too much? Not enough? I loved that we could all get exactly what we wanted. There was not a miss in the bunch. I don't live here and I can't wait to come back. Our server was adorable and did the cutest thing. We ordered 2 glasses of wine, a good Pinot Noir; she opened a brand new bottle table side and filled our glasses, Then she left the bottle "in case you want more". I have taught servers many ways to build a check, but this is the cleverest ever and of course, it worked. We easily went from 2 glasses to a bottle. Smart girl and a great wine. This is a casual busy place. We were seating by a nine top, I was concerned it would be loud. She seated the table twice and something about the room was right. It never got too loud Our experience here was fabulous. Even the hostesses were sweet.

I placed an online order at 4:25 (directly through their site) and the confirmation via email to show up at 4:45. I shows up at 4:50 and it seemed they hadn't started on my order. I waited until 5:15 for the food which was good and accurate. But for $90 and with no acknowledgment of the inconvenience from the staff and the pre-tip required to order, I have no way to convey the feedback to the restaurant. My advice: call and ensure your order is being processed after you make an online order.

We had to clean the table ourselves, which wasn't a big deal, but I'd usually expect to be seated at a clean table in a sit-down restaurant. The coffee cake was pretty good, but wasn't special. It had a nice sugary crust, and was fluffy on the inside. Despite the blueberries, I found it to slightly lack flavor. I ordered the breakfast combo with potatoes, eggs, and bacon. It took ~40 minutes to come, which isn't an egregious wait time, but certainly not a great one either. However, they were nice about it and apologized for the wait. The breakfast combo was okay, but for $17.50 I was somewhat disappointed. The bacon was thick-cut and crisp, which I really enjoyed. The potatoes were very flavorful, but pretty mushy. They were wet and fell apart. I thought they could have benefited greatly from being crispy. The eggs were satisfactory, perfect pairing with the delicious sourdough. While my experience at Kitchen and Vine was subpar, the food was good. I'd go back if the wait time wasn't so long.

First place for best alternative nomadic software developer looking for café to eat and do work…read moregoes to... Kreuzberg California Café. When I travel, I love finding a café that has an alternative vibe, friendly staff, really good coffee, really good food, and a vibe that says, "Hey--you bought an espresso like 5 hours ago. Stay as long as you want!" In other words, it's not a snobby café. It's real. It's authentic. I love it. But it's almost impossible to just get an espresso and leave it at that. The breakfast burritos here are just that good. I strongly recommend the soyrizo breakfast burrito with avocado. They have the recipe down to perfection. You have to travel 20 minutes out of town for anything that comes close. I will be honest here: they do charge a lot for their breakfast burrito... they know what it's worth, unfortunately, and they're going to charge you for it (and the prime downtown location). They also charge a very high credit card processing fee--it's more than any kickback a credit card rewards program would give back--so if you have cash, use that. It's cheaper. Their coffee is very good. You're splitting hairs here when trying to find better coffee, but if you're looking for the best breakfast burrito in San Luis Obispo, this is it. Trust me now, thank me later.

I saw several beautiful drinks on Yelp when I chose The Oak Grill. I walked in, the restaurant is polished and pretty, with the bar an obvious focal point. The server, Chloe, at the door waited for me to speak first, which is awkward to begin with, and I had to verbalize that I wanted breakfast. I mean... why else would I be walking into your restaurant? She explained I order there at the front counter and the food would be brought out to me. That's fine. I asked if they have mimosas and she looked at me and goes, "Mimosas?" Um, yes. Mimosas. She said "Yeah, technically, but it's up to the person working up here if they *want* to make you a drink or not. I mean, technically I'm not a bartender." I seriously almost just walked out based on that answer. You have a full bar, you serve alcohol, but only if the cashier wants to make you a drink? Is the rest of the menu also based on the cashier's discretion? Are you capable of pouring champagne and a splash of orange juice into a glass? There are 5 employees milling about, and none of them are bartenders? So... I'm not impressed by the service here and based on that alone I won't be back. I'm just gonna drink this mimosa, wait for my chilaquiles, ask for a box and bounce. I'm irritated I just paid $50 (yes, $50 for chicken chilaquiles and one begrudgingly made mimosa cost me $50) to feel like I inconvenienced them coming in. I didn't ask for a side order of apathy with my breakfast, and for that price, I'm sure I can find an actual bartender.
