We were given a buzzer and were told to come to the pick up area once our buzzer goes off. We sat in the bar area since it was the quietest since we were with our 4 month old, Restaurant is super cute with western themed items throughout the place. The steakhouse burger was very good! Decent size burger and very buttery (in a good way) and the pig iron was delicious! Pulled pork was nice and tender with just the right amount of bbq sauce on there. The onion rings were nice and crispy as well and a huge serving for their full size. I'd definitely give this place a try if I'm in the area again!

The original Pig Iron was out of our price range. Their new service plan fits our budget perfectly…read more The pulled pork is so incredibly flavorful it doesn't need bbq sauce. That stated, the pulled pork sandwich is my favorite. If pork is your go-to, Pig Iron or Jeffry's in Paso are your best choices.

I'm a biscuits and gravy fiend and Joe's is at the top of my list of favorites for that. Atmosphere is like sitting in Joe's kitchen and staff is just great.

Real folks enjoying hearty comfort breakfast served up by real folk with big personalities in a diner environment. The food... I ordered a cup of coffee and Hubs the iced tea. Our waitress never let us see the bottom of our glasses. Very attentive. Even offered to refill the drinks to go. We ordered the 2-2-2 eggs, cakes and bacon plate to share and a side garden salad. Yes a salad for breakfast. Super glad that they served that and didn't have to wait until lunch time.the cakes were huge. Big as my round Charlie Brown head. Yummy tasting with a touch of sweetness. The bacon served crispy. Classic diner style. Plus the waitress didn't even bat an eye, no attitudes about plate sharing. She was terrific. She and the other waitresses were fun and sassy. Pricing- the menu prices are for cash payments. If you pay with a card, it's a 3% additional. It's says so on the menu and this practice is not uncommon. Breakfast menu- Omelettes, biscuits n gravy, eggs Benedict, scramblers, cereal, cinnamon rolls, burritos, huevos, rancheros, machaca, steak ranchero, and chilaquiles. Lunch menu- satisfying sandwiches, greasy spoon burgers and dogs, salads, and homemade chili and soups. The interior looks s comfy and homey. Has the look and feels of eating in someone's home. Lots of folks of varying personalities sitting at the counter bantering with each other and the staff. Giving the place a 5 stars for the whole kit and caboodle of serving up comfort diner eats, price points, sense of community, and welcoming staff n vibes. Everyone had a story, even Joe...The story... Joe's parents, Ted and Esper, owned Lola's restaurant in Paso Robles. Joe had a thought in 1994 to open a great spoon diner serving up good eats to the community. Not just a thought, but realized goal. A year later Joe's Place opened in Paso Robles and in 2006 he moved to Templeton. In 2010, his parents retired and Joe re-opened Joe's Place in Paso Robles. Joe honors his parents by serving up the same chili verde recipe and fresh salsas. Awesome!

But coming here the other night to dine & socialize with friends, I was duly impressed and the food was excellent. Here at Ironhorse, we had drinks, and the gf and I shared a burger & caesar salad (her idea, not mine -- I like the whole enchilada), and partook of a chicken wing app. Whoa. The burger was absolutely delish and one of the best in the greater Paso area. The caesar was HUGE made with little gem lettuce -- we loved it. The wings were perfect, so good. Service was lovely. Food was quick. What more do you want? Well, I want more and more times here.

The server had an attitude when I had to return the salad for having cheese (I am allergic) claiming I did not request to have no cheese (which I did clearly). As to food quality, the appetizers were amazing. We ordered the home made chips and shishito peppers, which were the highlight of our meal. The quality was overall fairly decent. The salad was not properly washed and had lots of sand particles in the leaves, which made it inedible. I therefore leave a mixed review. I have no plans on ever recommending this place, or returning for another meal.

I could barely see the pastries in the case. No worries though, I saw what I came in for. Purchased a French baguette for $3.70. Beyond amazed at the price. Excited to have some with my coffee, I ripped off a piece almost immediately and noticed the nice crust on the outside. 5 stars for the crust!! As for the flavor, it seemed a little flat. It was lacking some of the wheaty-tangy flavor you would get from a longer prove/fermentation. The inside of it was also missing all those nice deep pockets you see in a French baguette. Overall, not a bad baguette, but not one that you yearn for. I'd like to mention the young lady Annabel I had the privilege of meeting outside of the bakery. She was on a delivery run, but told me about their IG page, and we had a wonderful chat about cookies. Thank you for your time, Annabel, you are awesome!

There was only one other customer in the cafe. We had the Eggs Florentine Benedict which was good despite the slight odd taste of the toasted English muffin. The orange juice was very fresh as you would expect from California. The setting is nice although the lack of people sitting might have been a good indicator. This is a place where you believe is a cute place to go. Perhaps just an off day with lack of attention to tourists. Even though I understand that most restaurants do not prefer offering half plates, I would have spent more if they would have done so.
