Tuna melt Sandwich
Nikkomae S.

So this place is at the Paso Robles Airport and when you enter it has a very open space with high ceilings with a big window showing private planes on the tarmac. The restaurant is to the left of the building. I will say that upon entering the restaurant it appears to be a bit tight. They have bar sitting to the left and dine in to the right. We got seated right away and gotten our drink orders immediately. We ordered a couple of things: Tuna melt sandwich (3/5)- the tuna melt was so salty. That's pretty much all I can remember from this sandwich. Hamburger with Bacon- I mean it's like any other burger. Tri-tip sandwich with chili soup (5/5)- this is the second time my aunt has ordered this email and she said it is really good. Veggie omelette (5/5)- Another good meal. I gave them a 4 star cause the tuna sandwich was extremely salty and I love salty food and plus our server kept on forgetting that we ask her for water or a refill and another server would have to tend to our table. It is a nice restaurant with cool views and decent food.

Bacon, eggs, hash browns

Joe's One-Niner Diner in Paso Robles has a great view of the airport action and a charming vibe--perfect for aviation fans. The breakfast is outstanding, with delicious pancakes and tasty hash browns and super friendly service every time. I stop here anytime I'm in the area!

Always a great meal. Quick service and food is made quickly. Nice to see the aircraft coming and going from your table.

Pancake

I got the Loraine omelette & substituted a pancake for the toast. They were both delicious! The omelette was very tasty & the bacon pieces in it were thick. The pancake was very good as well. The service was excellent! My husband enjoyed his egg & sausage meal & loved the home baked toast. We will be returning!!

Menu: breakfast

Fantastic diner hidden out in Paso at the airport. Classic dishes. Would recommend coming for breakfast. The wait is sometimes long, especially for large groups, but that tells you how popular it is. Omelets are my main go-to but this time tried the chilaquiles and was not disappointed. Big portion, good balance of spicy flavor, love the crispy chips.

After a morning of wine tasting in Paso Robles, I wanted a good, hearty lunch. Came across this place online and had a feeling it would be exactly what I was hoping. We arrived to the Paso Robles airport and easily found Joe's One-Niner Diner. We walked in and it was exactly as anticipated; full of locals and very home-y. We sat next to the window which gave amazing views of this tiny airport on a beautiful sunny day. Everything on the menu sounded great. I went with the chicken-fried steak, which the server (who was sooo sweet!) assured me would be a great choice. My fiance ordered the tri-tip sandwich. After enjoying the view for a few minutes, our food arrived. My chicken fried steak was topped with a beautiful amount of gravy, just as I'd hoped. It came with a hefty serving of hash brown, eggs (I got scrambled), and an english muffin. First, I dug into the hash brown. Omg, best hash brown I've ever had!! They were super hot, cooked perfectly, and has a thin crispy layer on top. Next, the eggs, solid. I finally started my chicken-fried steak which was perfection. The gravy was tasty and the steak was perfectly crispy on the outside with just the right amount of tender meat inside. Amazing! My fiance also loved his tri-tip sandwich. If we're ever in the area again, we'd happy come back to Joe's One-Niner Diner.

Everything is amazing got little of everything and service was awesome . Thank you Vicky you're the best.

What a great surprise! I am a pilot and I flew into Paso Robles looking forward to eating at this resturant. It's right on the airport so if you are a pilot you walk right off transit parking to the place! For non aviation people, it's a PERFECT place to watch views of the planes taking off and landing. Food : I got the tri tip Chilla Quiles and my dad made his own omelette. IT WAS VERY DELICIOUS. The chillequiles was the best I've ever had Service: service was okay, didn't refil waters or anything and I had to go up for the bill hence the 4 stars Overall: would definitely come back just for the tri tip breakfast !

Presentation (strawberry slice and blueberry on top) glass shape, taste... phenomenal. Then the food... Chorizo chiliqueli with red sauce and chorizo Benedict. Chorizo is tricky, but this was perfect... no grease, very limited heat, allowed the full meal to shine. Hollandase (beni) was perfect... red sauce on the chiliquelies was amazing. One had breakfast potatoes one had hash browns... both incredible. All complimented with sweet, timely service from Janet and the whole thing was the definition of a 10. Honestly can't think of one thing to critique... breakfast perfection!!!

From the moment we walked in, the service was outstanding and the food was just as impressive. We…read morecame here with my family for breakfast and had a fantastic experience. We ordered the veggie omelet, veggie scrambled eggs, pancakes, French toast, and the kids pancake with bacon. Each entrée came with a choice of toast or an English muffin. One thing that really stood out was that, without us even asking, the staff split the dishes onto separate plates for everyone at the table. It was such a thoughtful gesture and made sharing so much easier. The veggie scrambled eggs were loaded with fresh vegetables, and the salsa added a great burst of flavor. I personally preferred the hash browns, they were perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The breakfast potatoes were also good, and the rest of my family actually liked those more. The pancake was huge and fluffy, and the French toast was finished with a dusting of powdered sugar. The kids pancake came in the shape of Mickey Mouse, which absolutely made my son's day. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and made with quality ingredients. Between the exceptional service and delicious food, this has become my favorite breakfast spot whenever I travel to the South. Highly recommend!

Basic diner fare: - Flavorful scrambled eggs but rather dry…read more(i.e., overcooked) - Good quality sausage that had more of a kick than I was expecting. - Okay french toast that needed syrup to have flavor. (With good french toast, the flavor of the bread comes through, and you don't need syrup.) Very patriotic ambiance. Good service. They're known for their big portions, but I got a smaller meal that was the perfect amount for me. I would give them a 3.5 but rounded up to 4 for this review.

It was all excellent. I'll order fish and chips next time. Do good. Our waiter was a helpful guy and we had no complaints. Dan and Amber shared the twin filets. Caden ate 9 wanted salmon so he had an adult meal and loved it. Connor age 5 had the sliders kids meal with 2 good sized burgers. Hannah also had the salmon and Hunter had a cheeseburger. We've had such better experiences lately that I can't wait up go back. In the 99 degree heat the AC was not keeping up and we were too hot but this would be very expensive to upgrade it. Sadly I'm thinking it was not sized properly as the building is very new. But we will not let this stop us from coming. The atmosphere and the food are worth it.

We were there for breakfast yesterday, September 23, 2026. A friend that lives in Paso raved about…read morethis place so she wanted us to come and enjoy a nice breakfast here. We were looking forward to eating here. We had a young man a student from a local college, brought us water and made sure we were comfortable so we were off to a good start. Then this blonde hair waitress with a bunch of tattoos showed up and she was so rude, no smile, no personality. It was horrible. Never seen anything like it before. So we thought maybe she had a bad night or something so we ordered food never and even smiled. The place was empty so it's not like she was even busy. Horrible, horrible, horrible attitude. If it wasn't for the young man, forget his name a local college student we probably would've walked out. Then we see her talking to an elderly couple and she seemed to be nice with them, but in our group of five people nothing. Horrible people, skills, bad attitude no smile it was bad. I will never be back to that place with so many wonderful options in Paso. There's no reason to ever go back with her crappy attitude.

On this day, I was getting one of the cars detailed at Sunset North and decided to swing by Cowgirl Cafe for a slow and relaxed breakfast. Not my first rodeo here at Cowgirl. There is a very "Paso motif" call it western. It's open and inviting. ay be crowded on weekends, but this was a Wednesday morning and sleepy Paso was still sleeping. I took a seat at a booth and was immediately asked if I wanted to start my morning with coffee. Everything on the breakfast menu is good. I can't speak for the other meals, as this is one of the spots I frequent. Last visit for breakfast it was biscuits and gravy with a side of bacon. Portions are well sized and you won't leave hungry. The staff is fun loving and attentive and they know their regulars when they come in. That's part of the allure of a small community, where everyone seems to know everyone. My coffee cup was never empty, always coming around, asking if I wanted a refill. Located just half a block off 13th Street on Pine Street, you will find this wonderful cafe. Good people. Good food. Recommend this as your breakfast stop!
