Had an amazing time at Firestone Walker Brewing in Paso Robles! Stayed in town to visit and enjoy the brewery, as we headed up north. For dinner, we had the 805 Smash Burger w/ bacon and the Brewmaster Pizza w/ pepperoni. Our daughter Bailey said the Smash Burger was "immaculate." The pizza had roasted tomatoes, fresh garlic, beautiful fresh burrata, basil and thyme. Everything was delicious and fresh! The beer and wine didn't disappoint, and the service was friendly and very accommodating. Love coming up here from Southern SoCal to enjoy the local provisions. We will be back...cheers! read more

Stopped here on the way to Cambria for lunch. I was a little put off at first when we were told to order using our phone. I thought those QR code days had passed...and it took almost 10 minutes for us to get it to work right. We had 2 or 3 different people serving us, so I'm not sure our actual server was lol Hubby got a 805 cerveza and I got a glass of sparkling from Paso Robles. Both were good. Now onto the food - we shared a pretzel and it was good. The beer cheese did not taste good to us though. He got the burger, and he said it was cooked well and I enjoyed the fries. All in all, it was a good lunch. It felt a little disconnected, but nothing to really complain about. The restaurant staff that brought food, kept waters refilled, and checked up on us during our meal were all friendly and helpful. read more

Excellent food. Friendly service. Excellent beer choices. Live music on the weekend. We ordered appetizers & beers. The short rib street tacos were amazing! Three hot honey & chipotle glazed short ribs garnished with onions and greens were amazing. The comfort Mac n' cheese is made with four cheese, roasted garlic and baked with bread crumbs (you can add bacon jalapeños or chicken but we kept it simple). The Taproom Wings with Nashville dry rub were definitely a good choice! Only flaw was we had to ask for plates three times but that's understandable and since they group serve from ordering via a QR code you're well attended and checked in on, but we had asked multiple people and multiple times (3) and finally got them. But everyone was friendly, food was delicious and hot! A must stop for visiting Paso Robles. read more

Very disappointed! Was looking forward to eating here. Our server was rushing us to order because he had a large party to attend too. That is what he said. The order ended up being wrong. Another server came because they were really behind. He corrected the appetizer order. We ordered a michelada that once again came way at the end when we were to leave. I don't think we were the only ones because other party's were getting g up to go get their own utensils. I don't know if it is just different for patio sitting. The food was ok they did not put bacon on our Brussels sprouts like we asked. They did not give us utensils until almost the end. Never brought us plates for the appetizer. The service was horrible and we would probably not come back. read more

Checked out the tap room, Was a very cool experience, fun little industrial set up, I got the classic flight and was a good deal, had the wings and fries, I liked the vibes it was chill and sat in the patio in the nook by the fountain they have cool merch and it's along side the brewery, service was good but you order thru a QR code on table but servers are always checking in on you and very helpful read more

Always great time here. 5 * service with delicious food and a great assortment of food. Highly recommended!

As always, the food, beer and service were amazing. I enjoy the flights, and the south of the border salad. Our server today, Zander, went above and beyond. He was very attentive and made our experience extra special. We'll be back! :) read more

The spicy chicken sandwich was terrible and so was the Mac and cheese. Barely any chicken on the sandwhich and the Mac and cheese had really no flavor to it. read more

In search of a quick, unfussy bite of dinner on our last night in Paso Robles, we decided to visit the taproom of the nearby Firestone Walker Brewery. We were glad we did. The taproom is next to the brewery that makes the increasingly popular 805 brew, which is on offer in two iterations, along with a wide variety of other drinks and food items. Guests are greeted, then sent to a self-serve terminal to order their food, beverages and/or retail items like T-shirts, ball caps, and other items. As we were perusing the menu, a helpful staff member came up to us, asked if we'd decided, then took our order for us. No self-service required! Following an afternoon spent wine tasting, we decided to share a beer: the 805 Cerveza. The staff member kindly split the 20-ounce pour between two glasses rather than make us share. We paid, were given a number to display on our table, and were seated. Our food - all from the "For the Table" section -- came pretty quickly: Ahi tuna wonton tacos, street tacos with chicken Tinga, and grilled Brussels sprouts with smoked tomatoes. The street tacos and sprouts were hot, and all items were well-prepared and tasty. Other items include burgers, wings, pizza, fish 'n' chips, and a variety of salads. Staff was very attentive, with several people stopping by to inquire as to whether everything was to our liking or whether we needed anything additional. The atmosphere is decidedly casual with tables and booths filling the space, and music from the '70s and '80s playing in the background. If you're seeking a casual restaurant that isn't "fast food," then the Firestone Walker Taproom could fill the bill nicely. read more

Always fun, gotta love Beer. If you do Firestone Walker is the place. We've been to Buellton and Paso. Same menu but different draft lists. Dog friendly and fun. read more

We ordered a flight of proprietary brews, made in-house - which was fun, and a couple of appetizers. The wonton tacos were good, along with the pretzel (very buttery). The cheese sauce was insanely rich, although we really enjoyed the mustard dip. A great place to relax. read more

We were looking forward to stopping into this brewery for a while, but feel like was just ok due to the QR ordering system. We were greeted right away by a friendly guy where he discussed how we could use the QR ordering or come up to the bar. We've used QR ordering so shouldn't be a big deal, however with ordering wings didn't have the aoili sauce option and was confusing in general. We also scrolled a few times and couldn't find the blond draft. We didn't have anyone circulating we could ask at the moment so decided to go up to the bar to order. Not the biggest deal, however, we were annoyed since have traveled a bit and really wanted to just sit and order without any hassel. Once we ordered we did have a few different people stop by to ask if we needed anything. The wings which were dry rub with a side of aoli and bluecheese were also just ok. The food came out quickly, the sauces were tasty but the rub lacks zest...bland honestly. We absolutely love the blond ale, which was the best part and reason for stopping. One our favorite beers! So that was great. We also bought a few t-shirts. Cool ambiance, not a bad spot but was annoying with the ordering. read more

What an unexpected highlight in Paso! The brewery tour for $15 gave the coolest history lessons, quality tastings, and best storytelling I didn't know I needed! And our (on summer break 8th grade teacher) tour guide, Sabrina, was absolutely out of this world engaging, lighting up the bottling line and production, sharing interesting details about the production of their well known beers and dueling family lore. Along with the tastings along the way, we all got tastings at the end of the tour that was the perfect end to it all. But honestly, Sabrina was the W! read more

Come for the beer... yep that's about it, just come for the beer. And while you can get delicious farm-fresh 805, be sure to try out some of their limited-edition brews that you won't find anywhere else. The restaurant has gone very, very downhill over the years, however. My burger was gloopy next to some warmish fries. The do-it-yourself ordering system is a pain, involving a Covid-era QR code, the need to manually enter a credit card number to pay, and a forced agreement to consent to spam in order to pay. A real live person did bring food however, and water for my pup. No clue if the real-live person would chase you down if you didn't consent to spam and didn't pay. read more

It has become a bit of a tradition stop here for family dinner on the way to our final central coast destination. I haven't been into beer lately but my husband can vouch for the beer that it's good. The food is excellent, good variety in the menu. Little one very much enjoyed his fresh mini corn dogs. They even offer milk as a drink choice. The smash burger was great, fries are crispy and skinny, pizza was nice and thin. Big booths keep a little one contained until they want to move a bit, it's a big space so it's never uncomfortable with neighboring tables. read more

My husband and I were in Paso robles for a mini moon and stopped by for a light lunch and drinks. We ordered the south of the border salad and garlic Parmesan fries. My husband got a stout and I got a seltzer, I think it was Grapefruit flavor. Don't remember but it was pink and looked good, but I did not like it at all. It was bitter and strong tasting and the flavor was just not good. I was only able to take a few sips. My husband tried it and didn't like it either. The food was good though. We enjoyed the garlic Parmesan fries and really enjoyed the salad. The salad was very tasty, flavorful, and fresh tasting. The portion of the fries was pretty large and we ended up taking it to-go. Id stop by again and try other items, but I do not recommend the seltzer. read more

The food and beverages were very good but the service was very questionable considering we went during non peak hours. The tables have QR codes for the menu but their wifi was poor and we could not connect to the menu. So I went inside to order food and beer and I could not get help. Eventually. A server noticed I had been standing there for some time and he kept assuring me someone would help. Eventually he had to come to help me, took my order and apologized. The waitress at the bar was socializing and didn't bother to help, even though she looked right at me. I would think twice before going back. read more

Taproom Restaurant. Food was delicious and the service was amazing. Our server took great care of us and provided amazing recommendations. We had such a good time at the restaurant. There was a bit of a wait for food where it started to make us think. However, the food came out delicious and the drinks were great. Wish we had more time to check out the entire area as there are other parts but it was towards the end of the day. read more

The first impression I got from the outside was... It's like a US Carlsberg. It's really cool looking at the whole facility and taking it all in. Not something you get to experience at every brewery. THE GOOD - Crispy Brussel Sprouts were on point! (4/5) - - very well cooked. Loads of flavor! - - admittedly pretty heavy because of the balsamic - Bathroom was clean - Hands off ordering. - - Ordered using the QR code - - Makes for quick ordering/service/payment. THE BAD - Taproom Pretzel was meh (2.5/5) - - Cheese sauce wasn't really creamy and flavorful - - Mustard was just okay - - The pretzel itself didn't stand out in size or flavor. THE UGLY - Parking is kind of terrible. Not enough dedicated parking spots read more

Awesome atmosphere. It's like universal studios or something. Service was very friendly. I had the portobello mushroom burger and it was just good, not great but good, kinda small. Fries were bomb! They add a load of fries in that bag which filled me up. I wish I could have enjoyed a brew but was working. Next time as I really like 805 beer. Recommend! read more

Food is delicious! We had the fish tacos which were some of the best I have had and we are from San Diego! My husband had the chicken sandwich, sweet & spicy! They definitely need to put the chip & salsa on the appetizer menu. Salsa has great flavor with a little kick. It was served with the tacos, Reasonable prices and we tried beers that we did not know were made by Firestone Walker. For those that are not beer drinkers they have a nice Honey Dragon Seltzer read more

My husband and I were excited to try this place out since we're a fan of Firestone beers. We got there right when they opened and got seated right away. They don't have table service, so we placed the order at the bar that's located nearby the entrance. We got the drinks right away and they delivered the foods to our table. We ordered their fish & chips, wings, and a burger. While we enjoyed the wings and their fish & chips, their burger was terrible. The patty was completely burnt, as you can see from the photo I uploaded. We wanted to tell them, but no one came by our table. We were out of time because of the reservation we had for the next destination. We decided to just let it go. Before we got up, a male employee finally came by to check on us. He asked how everything was, so we told him everything was good except the burnt meat. He looked at it and said "Oh, you should have told us!" LoL - well, we tried but NO ONE came by! He did offer to remake or refund the item, but we just didn't have time to wait for either so we said it's ok and left. read more

Firestone has become a staple in the craft brew scene. The brewing facility and taproom has become iconic to central California's 101 - it can't be missed. I have been coming here since the early 2000's, and remains one of my favorite breweries to visit for both the food and beer, not to mention setting (Paso) and people. My favorite appetizer is the drunken shrimp - so good! The beer never disappoints; they have something for everyone. This is home to 805, which I here commonly mistakenly call the brewery itself. But my personal favorite is the Hopnosis. Wookey Jack is a great winter chunky beer too. Service is quick, location is great, and the smell of brewing beer in the air is amazing. The tour is fun also, I've done it twice: I had to take my wife on it! Once of the best, if not THE BEST breweries in California. Their Venice Beach location is popping too!! read more

805 locals but first time eating at this location- been to the Buellton spot many times. Food was excellent, smash burgers and fish tacos were great. Nice patio and indoor seating read more

This places was really good and clean! The beer was very fresh. The seltzers were surprisingly really good I would definitely recommend. The food was really especially the fish and chips very fresh it melts your mouth. We had good service no wait for us to be seated. I can't wait to be back! read more

This was our first time here and we had a great time. Pros- Dog friendly patio, kid friendly, heated patio, great food, good music Cons- I know this is a brewery but I felt like the beer was average for us. We love Deschutes in Oregon and are used to a stronger IPA. Their beer is on the lighter side. -Service was average. Friendly but very slow for not being very busy. Overall we had a great experience. :) read more

This place is a gem! The food was fairly priced, beer was super reasonable, service is very attentive to check in on us, and food is really well done! We got garlic fries (great for sharing), Mac n Cheese (good for 1 to 2 as a side), and ahi tuna nachos (good tuna, could use more sauce). The real crème de la crème was the tour that we booked (must reserve online if you want guaranteed spots). It was such great value for your time and money. They provide you a sample of their double barrel brew in the beginning and then give you a chance to try 3 more different brews afterward. Their gift shop is also super cool with all the different merch they have available. We brought my best friend here for his birthday since he always loved 805 but was from out of town. He said this was one of the best gifts he could get! read more

Unfortunately I was not the biggest fan of this place. We came by here for a bite to eat and a drink. I ordered the mac and cheese and Nashville dry rub wings. Oh boy was it disappointing. The mac and cheese hardly had any flavor and my wings were extremely under-seasoned. By the way, 8 wings cost about $16 if I am not mistaken. At the table a salad and kids meal was ordered as well, most of the food besides the salad was left behind. What was pretty good was the beer, I had the California IPA which was $5 for a 10 oz. Overall if I was to be back in the area I would swing by for a drink but eat elsewhere. read more

A group of us and our children hit up Firestone. You're greeted right when you go through the doors and seated quickly(it was kinda slow). You have to scan the code or go up to order. I ordered the mind haze. It was citrus heaven! My wife and I split the Brewmaster pizza and the Pretzel. I ordered my daughter the kids Mac-n-cheese w/fries. The pizza is a little better than your usual brew house pizza. The burrata and fresh tomato, thyme and basil are what make it. Dough was cooked all the way through. The Pretzel was nice. It was one of the better ones around. Had a nice exterior hardness and snap, with a beautifully fresh softness in the interior. The mustard and cheese could've been better, but they weren't bad. Wish the mustard was a deeper, more traditional style. The kids Mac-n-Cheese was a little elevated. Maybe a little too much. Seemed like a pretty deep, smokey Gouda, that took the forefront. I liked it, but for my daughter, it was too strong. The fries were a little undercooked. Let's get those crispy! The Guy in the picture delivered 5/5 service. There was a problem and he handled it perfectly, with great customer service. Great employee here! Overall, wouldn't mind going back and trying other items. *Amounts are pretty small, for the price." read more

I came here for lunch on a Friday at lunchtime. Their parking lot was completely filled, but there was plenty of street parking. They have a lot of indoor and outdoor seating. You order at the bar and take a number to your table. They'll bring you your food but that's it when it comes to service. Fig & Pig Smash Burger - $19 - This comes with two patties, but it's not a massive burger like we were expecting. Two of us shared this which was perfect. The burger and fries were room temperature vs warm/hot which was a little disappointing. South of the Border Salad - $18 - This was a nice salad that we would order again. I enjoyed the cilantro jalapeno dressing. We also shared a flight of 5 beers. I really enjoyed the 805, Pivo Pils, Mind Haze IPA and Double Barrel Ale. I look forward to trying more of their beers in the future. read more

We were able to sit wherever we wanted, and we were kind of hesitant because you can just order by yourself or go to the bar. We would rather talk to people. So we went to the bar, and Ana was the absolute best! She suggested a delicious beer and told us about happy hour. The food was good but the ordering system was not good! Everyone around us complained about the ordering system. It was difficult to figure out so if you didn't order using the QR code, you had to go to the long line at the bar. I tried using the QR code but couldn't figure out how to put certain items on the side. If it wasn't for Ana, we would have left! In fact I found her manager and told him. He was busy dealing with a table who wasn't receiving all their order. We heard several people complaining. Something needs to be done. read more
