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 !

We had time for dinner so off we went. Hum whats nearby the theatre, alot of places to eat really...we'd liked the A town diner before, the menu covers it all practically so...We parked seven o'clock the dinner tush had passed and in we went. We were seated at a small booth, perfect. Drink orders taken now we needed to decide what to eat. M went with a light breakfast offering a pancake, a scrambled egg and bacon. Hum it was dinner time dear, I needed more time. The fish & chips were the special and it was Good Friday but I went big with the hot pastrami sandwich. Fries are extra so I ordered the onion rings to accompany the sammie. Pretty quick the food was out of the kitchen and on the table in front of us, wow M dove right into that 7" pancake as soon as she finished pouring on the syrup. My sandwich was a hood size on a very soft french roll a good six inches Very tasty but I always think there should be more meat than bread, there was alot of bread in that roll. Where's the beef, right... Onion rings, nothing special your average frozen beer battered Moores onion ring served late but freshly hot. We had a good meal, good service and a fair price. Was it five star, no it was a good four star, we didn't need or want anything special. Now dessert was a calling from behind that glass display when we walked in the door but tonight the stomach and the wallet forgave. We were gonna need reason for movie concessions, right?

The booths are super comfortable and match the aesthetic perfectly! They have juke boxes on the table (just for show), but you still can make requests through main machine. The walls have time period movie posters and other fun decor. I loved the timeline along the border and I was amazed at some of the facts! The staff was super attentive and made sure we always had what we needed. The food was delicious diner food! I ordered the BBQ bacon cheeseburger with fries, my dad got the Ortega burger and fries, my mom got the pastrami and fries, and my son got the Dino nuggets and fries. We ended the meal with a couple of shakes. Everybody was thoroughly impressed with the amount of food we got! The food and shakes were very tasty! We will definitely be back again! I want to try some of the Greek offerings on the menu next time and it looks like they also BBQ on site as well!! Parking was easy to find on the street right in front of the restaurant. It's also off of the main road so it's a lot easier to deal with.

The waitstaff checked in on us promptly and repeatedly without being overbearing. I ordered the barbecue sampler platter, and it was delicious. My 6-year-old ordered a cheeseburger and a Roy Rogers to drink. Surprisingly, he ate the entire thing, which is rare for him! There was plenty of street parking out front, I even managed to park our truck and toy hauler without any issues. The inside was tastefully decorated and had a nice, welcoming atmosphere. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely stop by again.

Fast friendly service…read more Very good. Will be back. Asked for the home fry potatoes to be crispy, Were not and were bland and dry.

Lots of bussers running around but seemed like only 1 waitress. From the time we ordered our food it seemed like eternity till we ate. I quickly realized that our food probably sat on the ready counter for a significant length isn't time. I ordered biscuits and gravy with bacon and two eggs over easy. The biscuits were ok at best, Gravy lacked flavor and my eggs were as cold as the weather outside. My GF ordered a sandwich, that did not come with fries. That was discovered once the order arrived. We were told they're playing with the menu. ‍, sounded weird but ok. She also god a side of mozzarella sticks. Those two were cold. Like they took a string cheese and rolled it in breading and heated in the microwave for about 15 seconds. So disappointing. I hope they figure out their staffing issues and lock in the menu. Seems like a decent spot but I'll find another breakfast place. Don't waste your money, plus I heard the tips are automatically added to the bill. I didn't look that closely because there was only 3 of us eating and I'm not used to auto tipping unless you have a large party. If they do auto tipping, my waitress hit well more than deserved because I tipped on my own as well. The table we were sat, was out of little jam packets. Seems like a trivial thing to bring up but details matter. What else are they skipping...? Do they even wipe down a table when it's reset first the next guests? McDonalds is down the street. At least their food is hot!
