    a sandwich on a paper plate
    Elizabeth A.

    Anytime you are driving to and from Paso Robles you will come across the gas station With James Dean tilting his hat off to you!!! And most folks just stop by to drain the or grab some snacks. Well on this bright and hot day we were starving and the gremlins I had in the back wanted to eat each other. Let me start off with the customer service... great staff and super helpful... I wasn't sure what to order, but when I saw that they had specials not part of the menu my eyes zoned into the Torta de Asada !!!! Sad thing they ran out of Asada soo they suggested a Torta de Jamon which is similar to a grilled ham Sammy just X better!!!! Super crispy bread, grilled ham, beans topped off with lettuce and tomatoes.... I was soo happy with my delicious torta I didn't share yes I'm a bad mom .... The rest of the fam had the breakfast combos and that's was also delicious!!!! But I'll be back for delicious torta p.s I miss you !!!

    James Dean met his fate at the junction of Hwy 46 & 41 in his Porsche race car. "Forever Young Diner" is a memorial.

    I cannot say enough great things about this place! My son and I stopped here a couple years ago on…read moreour way home to the Bay Area from Southern California. I was tired of fast food on our road trip and wanted something more real. We stopped here to check it out and everything about our experience was perfect. From the moment we walked in the door we were greeted within 30 seconds even though the 3 servers on the floor were VERY busy, they got back with us within a minute, sat us, and immediately got a drink order. When they came back they asked if we were ready to order. We were in a hurry, so when the Server came back to quality check our food we ordered dessert to go and asked for the check so we could get back on the road as we were eager to get home. We were so impressed with our service and honestly, the delicious diner food, that we planned to stop here again on our way home from our yearly trip this year. We had a different server this year, but everything about the experience was identical. Wonderful, tasty, timely, kind... Thank you, Willow Ranch staff, we will certainly make you part of our plan every year! I also wanted to note that I am a career server and the details matter to me. It is so amazing when someone like myself can receive the kind of service that I am proud to give when I'm working. I also witnessed the front of house staff engaging in friendly banter with the kitchen staff and I just love that. I am also close with the team on our line and I think that makes a huge difference in the overall performance of the restaurant.

    If you are on that long stretch off the 5 Hwy and need a break for some good food and comfortable…read moreenvironment with decent prices, stop by the Willow Ranch BBQ restaurant. It's hidden behind EZ gas station which has great prices today 4.99 a gallon I have stopped here twice and not disappointed! I had BLT sandwich, yum! Nice big slices bacon. I bet their BBQ is great!. So hot though this pass I like to eat light! Nice serving for lunch and I know it's a truckers stop! Clean and family friendly! Lots of history in this area!! Check it out, don't think it will disappoint!!

    We were hungry and looking for a local mom and pop place to eat so I jumped on Yelp and found this…read moreplace on the map. I found this place and we had like 40 minutes to get there before they closed. As we started to drive there we were wondering if the GPS was taking us on a wild ride because we ended up driving on some rural roads and thought, there's no way there's a restaurant back here but a few minutes later we arrived to a cute rustic looking caboose looking café. The interior was authentic and rustic and even smelled like real food being cooked on a griddle smell. Our waitress came right over and welcomed us to sit wherever we want to. Their menu was homemade country filled items. I ordered the Club Sandwich which was their daily special and I went with their potatoe salad which is something I don't like to order because it's one of those items that I'm never really sure if its going to be homemade or store bought. My husband went with the cheeseburger and fries. It didn't take long for our meal to arrive. I loved how the plates didn't match, just like at home lol, and the potato salad was homemade and it was good. My Club Sandwich was good and the vegetables were California fresh. My husband said his cheeseburger was cooked right and tasted like it was cooked on a seasoned grill. I definitely know if when we are back in the area, we definitely will be coming back to this little spot.

    I stopped by The Runway Cafe with two friends as our first stop before spending the day at Sequoia…read moreNational Park. We visited on a Saturday morning and had to wait outside for about 10 minutes before a table opened up, which honestly made sense once we saw how busy the place was. The food ended up being exactly what I wanted before a long day of hiking. I ordered the Breakfast Bowl, which came with a half order of biscuits and gravy, one egg, and two sausage links. The portion was perfect for me since I don't like a huge breakfast, but it was still really filling and tasted great. The service was excellent. Our server was super kind and friendly to me and my friends, and the whole experience felt very welcoming. It had that small-town breakfast spot vibe where it feels like all the locals come to start their day, and even as visitors we felt right at home. The ambiance really adds to the charm. The dining area is a medium-sized room packed with as many tables and chairs as it can fit, and every seat was filled. It felt lively in the best way and showed how popular the place is. The restaurant is also located at a small airport, which makes the setting outside pretty cool and unique. Overall, the food and atmosphere were perfect for a breakfast stop. That one meal kept me fueled through our visit to Sequoia including an 8-mile hike, which honestly surprised me. I will definitely come back if I'm ever in the area again.

    Located in a truck stop, not visible on Wellsona Road. We were coming on 101N and there was no…read moreturn on 101N so had to make a U-turn to be able to get to the restaurant. Not what I was expecting when I Yelped this so we almost decided to go somewhere else since it wasn't what I was expecting Ambiance- old school diner. The door to enter has a sign that says "restrooms are for customers only". We got here at noon and there was a handful of peeps eating at tables and the counter and outside In the back facing 101. Service- 3 stars. Kinda slow. Took awhile for the waitress to get our order. She did get our drinks first but took several minutes to get around to get our order. She wasn't serving anyone but had her back turned to us while she was doing paperwork. Menu- lots of choices with breakfast such as omelette, burgers for lunch. I got the Jose Burger with fries- burger with bacon, grilled onions, Ortega chili and American cheese. It was a pretty meaty burger. Had pickles, lettuce and tomato and lathered with mayo. Had to request mustard and ketchup. Burger was impressively good. Fries were thin and fried. Kinda remind me of shoestring fries. Burger - 5 stars, fries 3 stars Niece had California burger and wife had country griddle with sunny side eggs. Overall, not the greatest location. Nothing around it because the gas station. 3 stars Also, there's 2 prices on the check. Cash and a higher price for using a credit card
