    we came here for classic american diner breakfast and definitely got it. everything tasted good but i think it was because everything was drenched in butter. i could smell it right when it landed on the table. my boyfriend tapped out from mushrooms because they were so buttery lol the biscuits were great and fluffy. they are very generous with the portions. a mound of buttery mushrooms! the service was good but ambiance was lacking. it felt like decorations were sorta slapped together and it was quite echoy and loud. but good variety of food available, all buttery

    Mimosas were great with the added chamoy and tajin. They have different flavors like mango and guava. Potatoes were nicely seasoned.

    Over easy eggs , sausage , hash browns huge portions

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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

    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…

    Hands Down I was treated to one of "the" best burgers I ever tasted. This place is just a wee bit…read moretricky to find as it's located in an indoors market set up with other eateries, a wine bar and lots of open seating. I was curious as to how the burgers I ordered would taste as it was a tad pricey at $18.00. The meat is a combined hormone free ground chuck and brisket. Comes with homemade potato chips, nice and crispy. I especially enjoyed the flavors of the goat cheese and balsamic drizzle with carmelized onions, roasted red peppers; all topped with a nice and fresh bun with a basil glaze spread. My husband ordered the Prosecutor burger with substituted Swiss, with bacon and avocado. He downed it so I know his was good too. I really want to come back and try the salmon BLT on a brioche bun sandwich. I paired my burger with a lavender lemonade, for $5.00 very refreshing. Total bill plus tax came in at $50.00 plus a tip. This place is worth looking for just be ready to spend a few extra dollars for some very flavorful American fare.

It was delicious, the potato bun was nice and soft and toasted perfectly. Burger came with a side of chips instead of fries which I enjoyed very much. A bit on the high end for price but anything in Paso will be high. $22 for burger, chips and a drink.

We had the bone-in bbq wings and the cranberry chicken salad. There were 8 wings in the order. They were meaty and dressed with the right amount of sauce and worked perfect as a light meal. The cranberry chicken salad had a generous amount of chopped chicken and with the mixed greens, candied pecans and dried cranberries was a great balance of flavor and texture. The pacing of service was good. There were the right amount of people dining and drinking at the bar and tables to give the spot a good energy. The only downside was that they only serve wine by the glass. We would have brought our own bottle and paid the $15 corkage if we had known. Other than that, it was a great late night choice for dining and drinks.
