Simple store, simple menu, locally owned--and exactly what a burger joint should be. Rebecca took my order with a smile and so much happiness, it was impossible not to be in a good mood. I went in planning to order the $11.95 cheeseburger combo, but I swerved and got the gourmet western burger combo for $14.49 instead. Excellent decision. The skinny fries with the skins on came out steaming hot, and the burger was fantastic--a big, flavorful patty hanging over the edge of a fresh bun like it had something to prove. No gimmicks, no overthinking, just a solid local burger spot doing burgers right. read more

I stopped at J's Burger in Paso Robles looking for something easy and casual, just a simple burger spot to grab lunch. It's a small place, not fancy, but it felt friendly and relaxed, the kind of place that doesn't try too hard and knows what it is. Here are the details... *Service: everyone was very friendly. The guy at the front was genuinely nice, but he was pretty confused and confusing when I asked about the daily specials and pricing. He tried to explain it, but it made understanding what was what harder than it should have been. Nothing negative intention-wise at all, just a little chaotic and unclear. *Food: I ordered the burger medium rare, no cheese. It came out medium well with cheese and a very small piece of pineapple. Not exactly what I ordered, but it still tasted good. It had plenty of condiments, lettuce, tomato, a thin slice of ham, and mayonnaise. Flavor-wise it was solid, just not what I asked for. The fries were excellent. Crispy, fresh, and clearly made from real potatoes. They slice whole potatoes in-house with a slicing machine and turn them straight into fries, which I thought was really cool. They also had some kind of seasoning on them that made them even better. They have a lot of good burger options, plus chicken sandwiches, salads, and chicken strips. I liked that there was variety beyond just burgers. They also do a daily special burger for $10.99, combo meals are $13.99, and you can sub onion rings for fries for $0.99, which felt fair. *Ambiance: it's pretty clean, open, and small, about ten tables inside. It felt comfortable and simple. There are a few tables out front and a picnic table under a big tree, which is a nice idea, but it's right off the main street so it's not super peaceful. *Value: it felt like a pretty good value. The pricing made sense for what you get, especially with the daily specials and combo options. Nothing felt overpriced. *Overall: this was a solid but not standout experience. Friendly people, great fries, good burger flavor, but the order accuracy and confusing explanation of specials held it back. I give it 3 out of 5 stars. It's a decent stop if you're in the area and want something casual and quick. I added a bunch of pictures to help you get a feel. read more

J's Burgers is a local place on Spring, near Smart & Final and next to a car repair shop. Don't expect fancy, it's decor is minimum and reminds me if an older donut shop. But the burgers, whoa. Really good. I got a Jalapeno burger with a fried jalapeno and jack cheese. Delicious. Good thin burger, well cooked, and potato bun. I liked. $13.99 gets you a combo with drink and fries (or $1 upgrade for garlic fries or onion rings). A daily special is $10.99. Yep. I'll be heading back on a regular basis. read more

A bit salty but tasty, classic and friendly burger place in Paso. Their fries are also crispy and thin. Only one negative thing about them is their Soda. Soda fountain water smells bad and couldn't finish. Also never tasted like cola. read more

J's is a solid burger shop. They are very consistent and get their orders right. Ingredients are fresh. Serving sizes are substantial, especially the fries. Friendly service with a smile. Not at all pretentious, just a quality yet simple small town burger. read more

Just got into town and was looking for a quick take-out burger before the Laker game tipped off. Was fortunate that J's was just around the way from where I usually stay. Found it to be a decent spot with plenty of seating for dine in. Good service with a simple menu. There are fountain drinks or a can from the cooler, but no shakes. No more than a 10-min wait for a decent bacon cheeseburger and a generous amount of fries that were fresh, hot, and not greasy (very light, reminded me of In 'Out fries, which is a good thing). read more

Surprisingly good burger. The patty was flat and overcooked (as required in CA). But the tomatoe, onion and lettuce was fresh and tasty. Service was fast and friendly and decor is what you'd expect for a in and out burger joint. I will come again (unless I find a thick, juicy burger). read more

Kool place serving fresh basic burgers. We chose the Western Burger with fries, and the Mushroom Burger with onion rings. The onion rings are great, the fries lacked luster. They were too soft for my liking. Over all, it's a kool place, and we'd revisit. read more

This is a great find for really good burgers and fries. Everything is freshly made, including the buns being delivered fresh everyday. Hand made patties daily, fresh made fries and onion rings with each order. Even the Diet Coke from the machine was perfectly mixed with the right carbonation and syrup ratio. I got the jalapeño burger and my son had the double BBQ burgers. Great, friendly service too in beautiful down town Paso Robles. read more

This place had great burgers and the price per combo is even better. The service is friendly and the have good cooks. My burger was spicy, those jalapeños were roasted to get the full flavor. The garlic fries are a must. Onion rings golden brown and crispy. Check it out if your in town. read more

Places like J's are always going to be great it's a nice hole in the wall, reasonably priced with a drink and fries. They cut their own fries just like in n out, and fry them much more than in n out so they're crispy af but in a perfect way. The western burger was delicious the patty was juicy and all the toppings on the burger was great I'd definitely come back. They also do special burgers daily which is pretty cool. Definitely will Come back. read more

Really good burger. Service was fast. Friendly people. Fries were really good, better than other places. They hook it up with the fries!

Good tasty burgers garnished with some special items! The service was very polite and helpful. Very casual atmosphere!

Incredible burger with fresh ingredients and in store made fries. Was not disappointed trying this place for the first time!

GREAT burgers! 15 of us came as a family for lunch and absolutely loved it! The place itself was not the biggest but we definitely made it work. Everyone loved their food and we didn't have 1 complaint. I can't remember what everyone ordered but I had the western burger. J definitely knows how to build and amazing burger from the soft bun to the crispy onion rings and the perfectly cooked patty. Their fries were also very good and reminded me of in n out in the best way! If we're ever around Paso Robles I'll definitely stop in again! read more

Hands down 5 Stars! Definitely the best burger in Paso. The daily special combo has gone up to $10 but this still beats any fast food or sit down restaurant. Staff is super friendly and always a service with a smile. After ordering it took about 10 minutes to get our food. Fresh fries plain or get them garlic style, either way they are delicious. Buns are on point!! read more

Perfect place for an easy going meal after a day at the vineyards. The cheeseburger was done perfectly with crisp lettuce, gooey cheese, and a nice crust on the patty. read more

Legit burger joint! Pay the up charge and sub the French fries for the garlic fries. You won't regret it. The fries are similar to In-n-out only better! Got the jalapeno burger and fried chicken sandwich. Neither disappointed. Wasn't expecting much going in but this place exceeded our expectations. Service was great! Interior is basic burger joint fare so nothing fancy. read more

Jay's burgers is slinging some nice juicy fat burgers. This is an underrated burger spot in Paso. Great place to fill up your tummy after a day of wine drinking. I got a breakfast burger, egg and hash brown in it and it was huge at least a quarter pound. I got the meal with fries and a drink for 10 bucks. What a freaking steal. the burger had nice buns soft and delicious. I wish the patty itself had a little bit more salt but not too bad. The fries were nice string seasoning crispy fresh. The food came out so fast. Definitely recommended would be back. read more

Just get a burger there. You won't be sorry. If you like Bronco Burger it's equal in my view. Nice little business.

Basic burger and fries. Mine could have used more sauce. Long wait and it wasn't that busy.

A hole in the wall place with fresh, juicy burgers. All tables were taken at 2:00 in the afternoon, so it's popular with locals as well as a good spot for lunch if you're passing by. read more

First time trying breakfast and it was good. I've been trying for awhile now and finally made it in before 11 am. Had the French toast combo and it was only $7. Anywhere else in town is gonna cost at least twice as much for the same thing. It's a low key spot away from downtown and I love it. Burgers are great also. read more

Burgers that remind me of home. Real hole in the wall type joint. Staff is always friendly and the food is always on point.

Such a great little hole in the wall! Service was quick and friendly. The burgers have a good quality bun and the meat is well-seasoned and yummy. Their secret sauce truly adds the oomph to this burger. I really enjoyed the fries too - shoestring style fries that are perfectly seasoned. We also ordered a hot dog and it was good, like the kind your chef uncle whips up at the family barbecue. All in all, a great place to stop by for a burger and fries craving! read more

Once again came here for their delicious cheeseburgers and "best in Paso" Onion Rings. We decided to split the order this time because you get such a big, fabulous order. We can't say enough about how good this food is. Everyday they have a special hamburger and a Combo option. Order at the counter service was very fast and efficient. Food is brought out to you. This is definitely a place to stop for great burgers and onion rings. read more

Every employee I've met has been super nice. The restaurant is well-maintained and clean. I tried a couple of different burgers there and they've all been good. They have seating inside and outside which is helpful for those with dogs. read more

Small hole in the wall. Few employees. Order at counter. A bit old and outdated. The employees there are super friendly and helpful. Their burgers are delicious. Corn dogs taste like frozen, Bar S corn dogs. Ok but more for a kid. Fries tend to be a bit hard but plenty of them. Onion rings were ok. I'd come back for the burger and the service. read more

J's Burgers is located right off Spring street in Paso Robles. I've never visited but have been wanting to try their burgers. The inside of the restaurant is not too small but not big. They do have 6 or so tables inside, a wall of high chair that site up to a long bar type seating. We ordered a double cheeseburger, crispy chicken burger meals and a side of onion rings. The restaurant was busy and had a constant flow of people. It was around lunch time so this was expected. We waited around 15-20 minutes for our food. The burger had great taste. The fries remind me of a greaser in and out fry. They don't give you a lot of fries with the meal. The burger is a pretty decent size. Especially if you get a double cheeseburger. It was more than enough for my daughter and I to eat. The crispy chicken sandwich comes with 2 chicken strips. It should have 3 (enough to cover the bun). The onion rings were the best thing out of the whole meal. They were cooked perfectly. The workers were kind, fast and efficient. The cashier also bussed tables and made sure everything was clean. read more

Was craving a big juicy burger and I'm not even kidding, I read about this place online and decided to take a mini 90 minute road trip with my partner just to try this place. It did NOT disappoint and was well worth the drive. We ordered a side of garlic fries, two double cheeseburger meals with bacon and everything was delicious! The burgers are seasoned to perfection, juicy, the secret sauce adds a tangy surprise to the already near perfect burger. Garlic fries were also some of the best I've had! Definitely will be back in the future. I'm so glad I found this place! The road trip was worth it. read more
