    This very unique place is a must visit in downtown Paso Robles. The food is delightful, the menu style is unique because you can choose small bites in various combinations. So much amazing and delicious variety! Service was stellar and food tasted superb. Appeared on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives... Lives up to the hype!

    We recently discovered Taste Craft Eatery while we were walking around Paso Robles for a fast and convenient place to eat while we were staying in the area. We wanted a place that had some wine and beer and a nice selection of food and Taste seemed to fit our needs perfectly. We didn't have any reservations so we were prepared to wait but we lucked out and were seated immediately out on the patio under a heat lamp. SCORE! Although it was chilly out, the heat lamp was just warm enough to be outside on the patio. It was a great spot to see all the foot traffic and all the holiday lights on display at the adjacent park. We had a wonderful server (unfortunately, I can't remember her name) who explained how we could best sample the Taste experience. We got a quartet of: California cowboy Cobb salad, super power spin salad, gouda burger and a blue bird chicken sandwich plus an order of truffled up fries with a few glasses of Paso Robles wines. Everything was just delicious and the portion sizes were just right so we didn't quite overeat. The restaurant was busy with all of the tables getting turned over with great efficiency. The outdoor patio was filled with joy as we observed families and friends exchanging tales of the weather and their journeys to Paso Robles. We truly enjoyed our first Taste experience and look forward to returning to Paso Robles for another adventure! I hope more people come in to experience all that Taste has to offer!

    Pick 3 sliders

    Stopped in for lunch on a Saturday, sat at the bar. Great ambience and beautiful interior, food came out fast and was actually a decent portion for sliders (I eat a lot and I was full after). Have to say, the Cubano and Gouda were ridiculously great, the blue cheese was good as well but the other two were culinary masterpieces - never had any sliders that amazing before. No complaints, and heard a couple people sitting nearby saying they specifically come here whenever they're in town so it seems to be a crowd favorite and for good reason.

    Located in the Park Square is Taste. This modern restaurant is very nice, clean, and modern. The service was kind of lacking. There wasn't many people in there, but to even get our waitress it took like 10 mins. Then everything after took awhile and wasn't even asked if I'd like more lemonade. The food was good, but let's be honest, the portions and price don't match, especially when not being served organic food. The chicken on both my sliders were dry. Everything had good flavor though. Ambiance and location are better than a 3, but everything else was a 3 or 2.

    Duo slider and fries.

    This is my second time at Taste. The first time was at the SLO location when it first opened. Prices were more reasonable then. I got a slider and fries for $18. I can get a whole burger for close to this, if not, this price. My burger was good and the fries were good. Service was okay. Our server was never around when we needed her and the place was not busy. It's a cute restaurant in a great location, but it's not worth the money. Unfortunately, I won't be back.

    Poor attempt at photo eating :)  some of the mushroom flatbread and fries, along with teen munching on sliders

    We stopped here to get a quick taste of Paso Robles on our way back to the SF Bay Area from SLO. It's situated in the nice square with a charming playground and walking area. Honestly, I came to charge my car at the nearby supercharger. We were lucky though, as this area has a fair amount of traffic at lunch. Getting to the actual craft eatery, we were seated quickly on a Tuesday near lunchtime. Our waiter was polite and patient and even offered to explain their menus. They typically have many slider types that you can choose from in groupings or 1-4 (or more, I'm sure!). We had a hungry teen with us who got 3 of his own. I split a duo with my spouse and got some supplementary appetizers (mushroom flatbread and fries). I found their fare pretty tasty! My slider was the lamb burger which had a nice spice zing to it. It was a little too zingy for my teen though. He still was fine with his other sliders. My spouse had the steak ish burger which was also delicious, if not a bit harder to bite into versus a burger. The apps were also great and filling. Supplemented by a glass of wine, I'd say it was a fantastic outing for us. A nice option for those in the area in my book!

    Trio Sliders
    Carson M.

    Came with a large group and had a slightly private section at the very back of the restaurant. Service was good! I do think some dishes are better than others. Some of our group got the Macs and complained that it was watery on the bottom. I opted for the trio and got three different sliders. They aren't terribly big, so you can probably eat multiple if you're hungry. I do wish the sliders came with a different bread like something toasted or buttered. The bread it comes with is very plain. I had the dirty bird, tip o Argentina, and a third one that I forgot the name of. The dirty bird had a grilled chipotle chicken, which was fairly good but I wouldn't order it again. I would say the standout burger is definitely the tip o Argentina - really good chimichurri and aoli and the steak was soft. Paired with the sweet potato fries or other fries, and it was a great combination.

    Outside seating area

    We came on a Saturday night around 7:30, and there was about a 40-minute wait for indoor seating. However, there were plenty of outdoor seating options available, all equipped with heat lamps. We ordered the quartet, which allowed us to choose four items. We selected the savory sprouts (roasted Brussels sprouts), the mac and cheese made with cheddar cheese and topped with broccoli, the earth patty, and the grilled veggie with sweet potato fries, which came with a chipotle sauce. The fries and the Brussels sprouts were my favorites! We also ordered the flourless chocolate torte for dessert, which was super rich and delicious. I would say the price was a bit high, considering the portions were very small. However, I think the restaurant is still worth a try!

    Located in the downtown, near the park, and there were roadside and near restaurant parking. On Friday afternoon, walked in around 3pm ( just in time for happy hour). Five steps up and towards the main dinning area, clean and modern design. There is bar towards end and on the left side, there are some outdoor patio seating area. When we walked in, there are ten tables occupied. By 4:30ish, 70% seating occupied. Really like the mini Duo -$17 , Trio-$22 and Quartet- $32 options. You can pick and combine from sliders, Mac, sandwiches, salads and sides. They are all very small portions except the generous fry portion. The service is ok, took about 15 mins to take out order And the food serving time is descent. Atmosphere, menu idea and service 4 stars, food 3 stars, the veggie slider was dry and no flavor, and the slider bread is mini pita--- dry dry and very dry. Place good for friends and family .

    Located in downtown Paso, I came by with the family for dinner and discovered that this is another Triple D restaurant, so I had to take my obligatory photo with my second son and the Guy Fieri signature pic. The decor is beautiful, I like that they have an elevated patio area as well if you want to enjoy the weather. Service was attentive and friendly. This is a fun concept, you can mix and match your meal from 2 to 4 items and choose from a large variety of salads, sliders, mac and cheese, veggies and soups/sides. It's not super fancy food, but it's food my whole family will enjoy eating so that's a win. Prices are fair for what you get! During my visit, the current pricing was $17 for 2 items, $22 for three items, and $32 for four items (Tip: ordering 3 items is the best value). If you come a lot, there are so many combinations available that you can never get bored of your meal! My family and I all chose something different so we could switch plates and try different items. We all liked everything we got, no complaints. There's a full bar so you can enjoy good drinks with your meal. I highly recommend TASTE! if you're looking for good eats, drinks and ambiance!

    Tasty, I've been to the Paso location on a few occasions. The SLO old brick location is where I met the owner and chef back in the day and still a favorite restaurant. So tonight is the Mid State Fair and we are busy driving folks to the concert(s) The boss had to drive tonight and he's buying our dinner, Taste in Paso. Okay Parking can be a challenge for a Sprinter Party Van but luckily I found a secret spot and walked. We had a table along the side wall and it was perfect Our server was excellent, she's done this before. I went with my usual, a couple of Beny burgers and a Cowboy Cobb salad. Boss ordered a sampler Caprice board, pretty good. Our dinners were out quickly, not so busy tonight. We all seemed to enjoy our meal, and that was it really. Yum & Done I'm not much for the starch these days but the macaroni and cheese choices are quite interesting. See ya next time foodguy-martin

    Trio cheddar pulled pork Mac and cheese, Gouda burger, mighty melon salad
    Stephanie B.

    I am a long time fan of taste from its original location in San Luis Obispo. After moving away and visiting, I had to eat at a taste location! The Paso location is fairly large with indoor and outdoor seating. The decor is very modern inside. Food: the menu can be overwhelming with lots of options to mix and match. I ordered a trio with a cheddar bbq pulled pork Mac and cheese, Gouda burger slider, and mighty melon slider. While everything was tasty, I remembered the sliders being bigger and with different rolls. They prices also have gone up, perhaps after being featured on diner, drive ins and dives. It is $17 for a duo (which we got our almost 1 year old - a bit expensive for a kids meal), $22 for a trio, and $32 for a quartet. You can also get full size salads or appetizers, which I've had in the past. Food is always good, I don't think you can go wrong with anything you order. Drinks: I haven't tried them, but they do offer cocktails now! Service: servers were friendly and food came out reasonably quick. Parking is street parking in downtown town Paso (some is paid, some is free).

    Double cheeseburger, bacon mac n cheese with white cheddar and garlic fries
    Hubert W.

    Great concept with their duo-trio-quartet selections where you can pick a sampling of a large variety of menu options ranging from sliders, Mac n cheese, salads to fries and Brussels sprouts. Service is great, our waitress was attentive, kind and made good suggestions from the menu. The ambiance inside the restaurant would have been better had it not been for the flies that were hovering over our table. When the food came out, we felt like we were swatting flies in between bites. The burgers are all pretty good, but the French brussel sprouts were slightly over fried giving it a burnt taste. Salads were all very good, portion sizes were good for the price. The peach cobbler (not pictured) was a bit disappointing. The peaches were hard as if it wasn't baked completely. Maybe it would taste better if it had streusel on top. Overall, it is a good concept and would still return again.

    Trio with Pickle N' Pickle, The Popper, and Summertime Brussel Sprouts.

    So the website says Brunch, but there are no actual brunch items on the menu. Are there breakfast items made available? The thought of fries, fish, and pulled pork after an evening in wine country does not sounds appealing.
