    Over easy eggs , sausage , hash browns huge portions
    Michael G.

    Food at Margie's is prepared just like at home the portions are large folks the pancakes are huge and fluffy. The eggs are huge and made perfectly. The meal was prepared quickly and served hot. Our waitress took our orders perfectly and made suggestions to ensure we got exactly what we wanted. The ambiance is a 50's vibe and the interior decorated to make you feel the 50's feeling simple and real good home style food. So when you're passing through on Hwy 46 and the 101 in Paso stop by and enjoy a delicious home style meal.

    If you you are looking for plenty of good food for the prices these days, this is the place. I ordered the chef salad and half an order of onion rings. Salad was crisp and had a lot of ham and turkey. I could not eat it all. Half an order is 6 huge homemade onion rings, like an inch and a half thick. Batter in them was excellent. I was sad I could only eat 3. Hubby had chilaquiles with scrambled eggs. Again lots of food. Said it was good. Portions are big. Staff was friendly. We would definitely stop here again when in the area.

    Visiting Paso for an annual conference and drove by this place by chance. Glad I stopped in! Super friendly staff. Nice chill place to sit and dine. And the food is pretty good as well! The onion rings are a fan favorite and I can see why. They are also HUGE!

    Cobb salad. Chicken is always tender and delicious!

    Great food always! Portion size is always great. The service is always outstanding. It's a diner atmosphere. Always very clean. We enjoy eating here.

    Margie's Diner is our go-to breakfast spot in Paso Robles. Every time we're in town, we make a point to eat here because it's always consistent and delicious also the ambiance is great. Service is fast and attentive, the menu has plenty of great options, and the fresh orange juice is a must. Parking is easy too, there's always space available. A great way to start the day.

    I always wanted to have breakfast here. The outside is so cute and appealing as you get into town. The inside is retro-vintage, pretty darn cute with big windows. Coffee is good, smooth, doesn't have the bite of Starbucks, it's more bold and smooth, you can drink it black without making a face. The breakfast burrito is big. Cream of wheat is good but wish there were sliced almonds. The sourdough toast would have been better if it was toasted instead of slightly warmed. It took a long time to get our check, the servers' back was to the dining room for 10 minutes while she filled condiment bottles and waited for an order. Besides that she was a decent server, friendly. Overall, it was good.

    Always the go to place, you know's gonna be great. Never disappoints. Kinda like a security blanket. It's your comfort food place. The tartar sauce is dill. (As you know a must for me) their bleu cheese is not sweet another must! Last nights fish & chips was the kind you drive to Morro Bay for! & they greet you like they're happy to see you! Always & they are just as friendly throughout your entire stay! Not always that consistent at other places. Totally five star diner food ( breakfast for dinner kinda place!) so if you can't decide between Mexican or Chinese... remember Margie's! The food is great & the people are friendly.

    Chilaquiles with eggs over easy. Absolutely delicious! I would definitely recommend!

    This is one of those hidden gems in Paso. And that is odd because this restaurant hides in plain sight! It's a great place to get breakfast, lunch or, dinner! You always get good service from the staff. They are always friendly and attentive to your needs. It definitely has a 70's to 80's diner vibe but that's a good thing. They make great food. That's the strong selling point for me. And, you can get breakfast all day long too! Try Margie's out. It is a great place!

    I was leaving Paso Robles on a Sunday after a nice night at Justin winery and decided to get a nice breakfast. The concierge at the Allegretto recommended me go to Margie's Diner. It was an awesome breakfast from the service at the counter to the quality of food. It seemed like a family and team working together to make it a nice experience. I recommend anybody going there if in town. You won't be disappointed.

    Margie's is a classic diner attached to a Best Western motel. The classic 60's architecture had us guessing that it used to be a Howard Johnson's back in the day. We had breakfast there 2 days. It was our favorite b'fast place in Paso Robles. The place is super clean, the staff was very friendly. the breakfast selections covered the entire range of breakfast options. Coffee cups were never allowed to get below half full. Our group of four sampled omelets, pancakes, and cinnamon rolls. Everything was tasty and hot. I'm surprised that the Yelp rating isn't nearly as high as the Google rating -- it should be. Maybe Yelpers are breakfast haters?

    Onion rings
    Sal H.

    I was really impressed with the decor and service received at Margie's diner. My wife and I ordered a side of onion rings and the chef salad. The portion sizes are huge. It was enough for both of us to eat and when we got our dessert, an apple pie with ice cream, we were already full but we still ate it LOL

    Old school diner that is always delicious. Friendly service with a willingness to do whatever you want to ask for. Everything is always made from scratch which is what makes Margie's Diner so special!

    Will they be busy at 7:15-7:30 on a Friday morning? We need to leave by 8:10.

    They are busy only if there's an event going on at the fairgrounds. If no event, you're fine. 1/2hr-45min is pushing it though. I'd get there at 7am and let them know when… Read more

I had one of their burgers and fries. The patty was a homemade blend and delicious! The fries were good also! I wish I left room for dessert because they were offering a fresh applepie or cheesecake. Something to look forward to on my next visit! The server was so charming and attentive. She never let our sodas run dry and shared in the perfect amount of conversation with us. I encourage you to stop by and enjoy some great food and warm hospitality!

I also had hashbrowns on the side which really tasted like they were homemade, freshly shredded potatoes - they weren't like the frozen kind that you get that's for sure!! This place seems like they do a lot of cooking from scratch which I really appreciate. My friend ordered the Denver omelette which was humongous, and she asked for salsa on the side, which was not a problem and she also had the hash brown potatoes. She ate half her meal and took the rest home. I ate my eggs and left half my sausage and gave the other half to my friend to take home. Nice crispy toast. The eggs were done perfectly fried as well as the sausage which was a little bit crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. It is a Saturday, and I noticed that Saturday special is ground beef enchiladas which I truly do enjoy I might have to go back there the next Saturday for lunch! The price point for the two of us was around $41 with a $10 tip. We did not order drinks that was just for our food, and they do offer a small discount for cash payments. All that eating and writing... I forgot to take a picture of my plate of food! Just trust me it was delicious!

    Delicious old school diner!…read more Joe's Place has an All American Vibe. There are proud American posters, marvel characters, Marine paraphernalia & old school posters. The servers are efficient, but not overly friendly. This is our 4th or 5th time coming here & we'll definitely be returning when we are in the area again. I love that it isn't pretentious, the pricing is fair, & the food quality is excellent. I highly recommend trying Joe's Place in Paso.

    Very nice local diner. Classic atmosphere and with excellent service and big portions!…read moreLoved the bottomless Boyd's coffee, can't beat black coffee at diners. Kid got his water in the paper cup:) Went for what seemed to show up on reviews the most. - Ranchero steak & eggs = the steak was tri tip, which was too chewy. It worked out once I started slicing thin pieces from it and it became tender enough to eat. * I think the correct choice is to pay more to get the 12oz NY steak and eggs instead, since tri tip just too chewy. The famous ranchero sauce was good, but quite spicy! Kept eating it despite getting heated from spice, since it added the flavors. - Chilaquiles supreme = chilaquiles was good, but the tri tip piece from the supreme upgrade made it too chewy and detracted from the base chilaquiles. * I think the regular chilaquiles would be the better choice to enjoy without distraction of tri tip pieces. Or maybe ask if can make the supreme with other protein choices maybe some chopped up bacon or sausage pieces instead if allowed to substitute? - The hash browns side was perfect and delicious! Definitely wins over the homefries option. - Cinnamon roll = huge and a meal on it's own. was too much after the 2 entree's The menu is so vast, I think it's a winner as long as you stay away from entrees with tr tips. I just went too all in on tri tips, lol. Would love to try again sticking to the diner classics of pork chops or chicken fried steak, or the ny steak and eggs, or any omelettes or burritos.

    Before we get into the meat & potatoes of this review, let me get something off my chest…read more I am ONE HUNDRED PERCENT not anywhere close to being a Cowboy, but I'll be damned if watching shows like Yellowstone on Paramount+ make me think twice about my life choices. I mean... Riding a horse on the open plains.... Wearing Levi jeans, a flannel shirt, with a big cowboy hat, a pair of cowboy boots, and rocking that big belt buckle sounds pretty cool to me. But being a Cowboy or a Cowgirl for that matter is more than just the catchy attire, it's a Lifestyle! Rooted in hard physical labor, long days, loyalty, deep respect and responsibility for the land and herding cattle are just some of the core values and responsibilities of being a true Cowboy/Cowgirl. Hell, I might not be a Cowboy, Yet... But I sure do respect the Lifestyle they live and for now, you can find me on the sidelines rocking out to my favorite country and Western artists: Morgan Wallen, George Straight, Garth Brooks and of course my Girls Reba, Lainey Wilson and Carrie Underwood. Heck, All I need now is my Cowboy Hat & Boots, Well, I suppose I should get a horse too ;) ------------------------ Now, Saddle up Partner, let's get this review on the road. It's time to EAT like a Cowboy and be where every Cowboy wants to be.... Cowgirl Cafe Enters the Chat! Yes, Every Cowboy that I know... Needs a Good Solid Meal to start their day off right. But more importantly than that... A Good, Strong cup of Hot Coffee! But even more important than that hot cup of Jamoka.... A Cowboy needs a Strong, Beautiful Woman by his side to wrangle him back in when he's out of line. Yeah, and just like you "Don't Mess With Texas", You definitely Don't mess with a Cowgirl! So when I ate at the Cowgirl Cafe in Downtown Paso Robles, I was on my best behavior. Located at 1316 Pine Street, this hole in the wall Cafe is where locals and visitors come together to break bread. A well themed decor diner that's open from 6am-2pm daily, The Cowgirl Cafe serves up a mean breakfast & lunch and boy did I enjoy it. 2 Eggs sunny side up, corned-beef hash, their Chef's Special Home Fry Potatoes, a side of toast, & a cup of coffee... All served with that hometown, local hospitality from our server who waited on us... You know, just like a cowboy, I tipped my hat to her and tipped her very well for her excellent service. As mentioned earlier.... The Cowgirl Cafe is open from 6am-2pm daily, so for you early risers who live the Cowboy life of waking up before the Sunrise, a hot meal will waiting for you. But don't fret if you are new to this Cowboy/Cowgirl rise and shine, get the day started off early business... Cause they serve breakfast up until 2pm (or until the cows come home). YeeHaw!!! Now, it's time to Cowgirl Up and stop pretending like this is your first Rodeo. Get on over to Cowgirl Cafe and Eat!

    Food: I ordered the eggs, crispy bacon with potatoes and buttermilk biscuits with gravy, my husband…read moreordered an omelet, salad & pancake, he ate most of his food and I wish I lived closer so I could take my leftovers home, mine was 3 meals in one and delicious! Service: Excellent, so warm and friendly, the server was so sweet and every single staff person were so nice. Ambiance: homey, country cute diner. Noteworthy: Food was traditional and delicious but the customer service was the best. Thank you for a great start to our morning
