    Coffee

    Veggie omelette with less onions as requested Spinach, cheese, mushroom omelette and loved the fact that each plate came with salsa! That was wonderful to see and taste on our omelettes. Meals came out quick and hot. Both with home fries and toast, but we also purchased a cinnamon bun with lighter amount of glaze on it... bun came out hot! delicious cinnamon in it.... Coffee was okay and we had good table service.

    Sunday morning breakfast at a spot with strong diner energy -- old-school feel, quick turnover, no fluff. It was busy but not chaotic, and I grabbed a seat at the bar with no wait. I went for the steak and eggs (probably the priciest thing on the menu at $29), mostly out of curiosity -- and because I was nervous that medium rare would come out overcooked, I asked for rare. It came out very rare -- more red than I wanted, but still good. The ranchero sauce saved it. Gave the plate just enough taste and heat to make it work. The real winners were the hash browns -- crispy, golden, and hands down the best part of the meal. I'd come back just for those. The sourdough toast with butter also hit the mark. No tricks, just done right. Ordered fried egg whites, and the server called them "flat plain eggs," which honestly cracked me up. A very diner moment. Overall: good food, big portions, fast service, and no pretension. If you like the charm of a classic diner and don't mind a slightly overzealous steak order, Joe's delivers.

    Excellent place! Highly recommend. Greeted with a warm friendly welcome and chose our seating immediately. Our waitress Karen was awesome! Prompt service, fresh hot coffee, breakfast was amazing! The salad was fresh, the BLT was made perfectly and the fries were shoestring nice crispy and hot. Loved it so much going back again tomorrow.

    A classic "hole-in-the-wall" local eatery. Fun environment with lots of wall decor celebrating the military and veterans. The kind of hangout where a Jane Fonda sticker in the urinal wouldn't be out of place. Lots of friendly locals. Felt like a little piece of Texas had been dropped right into the middle of California. Excellent range of breakfast selections. Our group of four ordered a little of everything: eggs, hue is rancheros, pancakes, biscuits + gravy. Thumbs up all around the table.

    This is your basic hometown breakfast place. They have a lot of options and all tasted good. I had the chicken fried steak and half order of biscuit and gravy. Food comes out fast, but like in Fresno, if you get there after 9 am on a weekend, get ready to wait in line.

    Ordered veggie omelette and San Franciscan. Big portions and tasty. Staff friendly. We were able to walk here since our hotel was close by but they have a parking lot. Lots of military memorabilia and photos on the wall.

    Basic breakfast spot Ambiance: old school country style dinner. Wooden tables and chairs. Lots of army decorations. Service: we had the younger waitress and she was super nice! The hostess was a bit snooty. We accidentally went in the exit to enter. Food: just ok Cake, egg and bacon: pancakes was the best, not as fluffy as expected, loved the butter. Barely any egg, bacon almost too crispy burnt Dillinger Breakfast Burrito: Perfect, hearty and amazing 2 egg, bacon breakfast: it was ok, the bacon a little too crispy. But lots of bacon to eat in fact 4 pieces. French toast: too small could have been better

    The food here is absolutely delicious. The service by Dianne was amazing and she has the greatest sense of humor you'll ever find. Also, the ambience was very patriotic. We will definitely come to Joe's every time we're in Paso.

    They are great Service is wonderful Food is so good I love the chicken Cesar salad Club sandwich is good and so is the hamburger

    My kinda place! First, the food was top shelf! Then the vibe and atmosphere was exactly what I love, rustic, Americana and down-home! The service was just as good as the food, very attentive and accommodating. The owner himself even came to the table to chat with us and see how we were liking everything. Turned out we had a couple things in common, so he sat and chatted with us a while, but not in any imposing way at all. The whole experience was ideal and will definitely make it a regular stop every time we're in town!

    I driving a wine tour today. I picked up grandma & grandpa in Nipomo. Picked up the "kids" in Paso with the new baby and we're sittin' at Joe's for breakfast. I sat myself at the counter, my favorite solo spot in a diner. Easy enough, menu was tried and true. I realized that their prices were a bit lower than most menus I've read lately...hum. I found a Wimpy Omelet, that looks good. They subbed fruit for the potato and that was the best mix of different fresh fruit, ever. Well in no time at all my breakfast was steaming hot in front of me, Thank you. Delicious as ever, bacon, turkey, cheese, sliced avocado on top, and a side of salsa, Yummy. I don't think I ever came up for air, it was really good and flavorful. Credit cards accepted, no they didn't let me wait till Tuesday. It can be difficult to see Joe's from street level, since it sits upon an elevation, ample parking but I'm sure it's a mad house on the weekends. I stick to weekdays for my return and I'll bring a friend look forward to a new delicacy. Tip Well foodguy-Martin

    While exploring Paso Robles, looking for breakfast options, we learned of Joes Place. We enjoyed a hearty breakfast at Joe's. Diner-style cooking, in a homestyle setting, as if going to visit a favorite grandparent. The interior felt very comfortable and homely, and had lots of military decor throughout. I opted for my standard chicken fried steak and eggs, with hash browns and biscuits and gravy. It was hearty, filling, and delicious. My wife got the chilaquiles. She loved it. Her tortillas were crispy, her dish well-season, and she was very pleasantly surprised by the refried beans (which apparently isn't standard for other restaurants). Our server was friendly, the portions were large, the food came quickly, and the prices were reasonable. Definitely a great place to stop in for breakfast.

    Country Scramble with Full gravy and biscuit side. Plus 3 pancakes.

This restaurant came highly recommended, and it absolutely lived up to the praise. When we arrived, the setting was lovely, and we were warmly welcomed by Michelle. She was gracious, attentive, and made us feel right at home. We especially appreciated the personalized place card waiting for us with our reservation. At first, my wife and her friend were a bit unsure as they reviewed the menu, as they didn't immediately see options that appealed to them. However, that quickly changed. Our friend ordered the asparagus salad and croquettes, while my wife chose the rosemary garlic grilled prawns and roasted heirloom carrots. Both dishes completely exceeded expectations--they were blown away by how flavorful and well-prepared everything was. Over the course of our trip, we visited many wineries and enjoyed several excellent meals throughout the Central Coast. Yet by the end of it, both my wife and her friend agreed that this dinner stood out as the most memorable--truly the highlight among many great experiences. Thank you for starting our trip on such a high note.

After people around us were served that ordered after us, I said "I want my fkn fries" at a totally normal volume to my family privately, and the server (owners gf) heard me (my bad) came over with the owner to scold me lol. Which is crazy bc the owner has cursed at people and called them names in responses to reviews here! He's been so nasty to any low reviews.
