    Grilled cheese with goat cheese and arugula
    Wendy G.

    My friend and I decided to split a sandwich from here to go along with salads we had gotten elsewhere in Paso Market Walk. We were helped by two sisters that look like they were identical twins, but they weren't. They were very polite and helpful. Once we ordered, we were given a food beeper so we could find ourselves a seat we're waiting for our food. It came out quickly and was delicious. All the ingredients were fresh and made from scratch. The grilled cheese was a great compliment to our two salads and we found a lovely seat outside on a gorgeous day to enjoy our lunch. I definitely recommend the third degree if you have a chance to visit the Paso Market Walk!

    Bacon and avocado burger yummy!
    Marshall M.

    We came here for lunch and it was solid. We got two burgers and chicken tenders for the kids. We got our burgers with fries and onion rings. The burgers were both delicious one had bacon and avocado and the other one was the one with sourdough and grilled onions. Both burgers tasted great and cooked nicely. We sat outside in the middle patio area and it was great for family and kids. The chicken tenders were great as wells

    Very good meal to start the day! Servicer even brought to table even though they gave me a number to pick up from counter, very nice of them. Great spot in Paso Robles and nice cafe right next to them!

    Looks sooo good...!

    The Third Degree is located in the Paso Market Walk 1825 Spring St in Paso Robles, CA. Easy to find, with decent parking...should you, my dear Yelp Review Reader(s), decide to go and go you should...getting there will not present any issues. Since this establishment is in fact in the Market Walk, you won't need to worry about getting a table and seating...there are plenty available, and there is an outdoor seating area as well. There are paper Menus or you can view the Menu Board in order to decide your choice of "eats". Upon deciding on our order, we stepped up to the counter and Daniel greeted us promptly. Daniel was courteous, helpful and accommodating. Thank-you for your Customer Service Daniel! With Salads, Burgers, Sandwiches and Paninis being the offerings here, we ordered a Salad - Berry Hill (WOW, this was "the bomb"...a definite 5/5), 2 Burgers - The Suspect (amazing taste...another 5/5), and The Lawyer (very yummy...4.5/5) and finally a Sandwich - 2X Crispy Buffalo Chicken (both could have been a bit juicier...4/5). From the Sides & Extras - Onion Rings w/Ranch (delicious...5/5). Our drinks...a Clown Shoes IPA , a Cliche Wine Seltzer and a Firestone Walker 805 Beer. The order was brought out to our table by Daniel (a nice courtesy) and our feasting began. Good conversation, great company, a very casual atmosphere and darn good food made for a memorable meal. Therefore, on this occasion...in this Yelper's opinion, The Third Degree "firing on all cylinders", truly earned this "highly recommend" 5 Star review.

    Crispy Buffalo Chicken

    Everything was so good 10/10 highly recommend! Great service located inside the Paso market walk

    Was trying out different meals from the local market. Decided to get a few items from this place. The burger was okay 3/5. The buffalo chicken wings were really good 4/5. The fries were thin and crispy 5/5. Good spot for American food.

    Chorizo burrito
    Annie L.

    Inside the Paso Market Walk, this is one of the three locations opened early morning. We were walking around looking for some breakfast at Third Degree happens to serve a few breakfast items including the delicious chorizo burrito. With a hint of spice and sides of sour cream and salsa (more spice if you like!), it's a greasy but oh-so-good breakfast! It's a pretty huge burrito so perfect for sharing with another. Great service, would be happy to come back!

    Chicken & Artichoke panini

    Sandwiches, Burgers, and Salads... what to choose?! All freshly made with fast serving. My sandwich was 5 stars! Its worth the stop!

    The Interrogation Burger
    Richard F.

    Quick Summary Really good burger spot inside the Paso Market Walk. It's a fast-casual spot and you can eat in the Market Walk's community tables. Really liked their double fried French fries and the Interrogation burger Food- 5 stars French fries- I really love double fried French fries, and the Third Degree did a great job of them The Interrogation- really enjoyed this burger. Such an explosion of flavor with their signature Thousand island, combined with the cream cheese and jalapenos. Service- 5 stars Fast casual spot. Really fast and easy; food came out in 15 minutes Bottom Line Excellent burger spot to try some unique flavors / burgers. Definitely add on some fries!

    T. Deaun E.

    I ordered the Prosecutor burger, with sweet potato fries, which was very tasty. The service was great prepare for a small wait due your food being freshly made to order. They give you a pager to alert you when your food is ready. The signage was very eye catching. They did not have dedicated seating therefore it's open seating among the many eateries and relaxing decor.

    Simple store, simple menu, locally owned--and exactly what a burger joint should be…read more 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.

    I stopped at J's Burger in Paso Robles looking for something easy and casual, just a simple burger…read morespot 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.

    Fun atmosphere and good food!…read more Stopped here for a quick drink and bite to eat before heading back to the hotel for the night. The town was hosting live music at the plaza across the street so we sat outside facing the plaza. It was a great way to enjoy our meal! The place was pretty packed because of the World Cup going on (Mexico vs Korea) so I understand why our server was a bit slow. She was handling tables inside and outside but keep in mind when it gets busy you may wait a bit longer for things. I ordered "The Steak" which is a hangar steak with a compound butter on top and Brussels sprouts on the side, I subbed potatoes for coleslaw. The steak was cooked nicely and had a great crust on the outside, very flavorful with just the right amount of saltiness. The Brussels were some of the best I've had even though they were so simple. I ate every last one! The slaw was ok but not a ton of flavor, it was pretty light on the sauce. We also got an order of bacon wrapped jalapeños with cilantro ranch. They were so good! We destroyed them in seconds while burning our tongues on the lava-like cheese. Worth it!

    November 2025 Since…read moreI gave such a stellar review of the Bacon Crusted Burger at Street Side Ale House, I must update the comments since people do go to restaurants based on other's reviews. And I am so embarrassed to have recommended this restaurant to dozens of people. We raved to our friends about this place and this burger in particular. So, when we traveled with them to Paso Robles this week, we took them there on Thursday night. We passed on having the Wagyu 8 oz. burger and fries at In Bloom (Michelin listed) the night before in anticipation of this burger. Service was abysmal. We sat for quite some time with no service. My wife went in and asked where our server was? Finally, a woman showed up and said our waiter would be with us shortly. Sometime later, a friendly waiter arrived. He was obviously new, under-trained, and spread too thin. He was very personable, but our drinks sat on the bar for a long time and my wife had to go in and ask if she could take then. "No, the waiter will bring them out." Meanwhile, our friends were sipping on their drinks. We got our appetizers and then ordered our meals. The food came quickly, maybe too quickly, and I noticed no egg yolk oozing out (it was halved for us in the kitchen) and the burger overall was much thinner than the last time and the arugula was so wet under the patty. So, we ate a couple bites of it and it just did not taste right. I opened it up to find a baked or boiled grey patty with no crispy bacon wrapping. The bacon was soft, I mean boiled soft and was a small lump on top of the burger patty, not even close to crispy. More like a damp towel. The avocado was sliced but not spread out, so stuck on the left side. The egg was hard cooked with a solid yolk. No pepper to be found. I showed the waiter who was stunned. He thought we were kidding. The manger came out, looked at it, asked what we wanted to do. I was a bit surprised given the wreck that this burger was and said I don't know, what do you want to do? He said the chef wasn't there but took the plate back to the kitchen. He came back and said the chef (wait, he wasn't there) was surprised and said it was not right. The chef (if he was there) should have headed straight out to us and apologized. So, the manager took the burger off the bill but left the same horrible burger ($22) on our friend's bill. I should not have to tell a manager how to fix such a mess and disaster of a meal and service. I hope they fix their kitchen, whoever is checking food at the pass, and the service or they will be another casualty to the restaurant business in Paso. Sorry I had to write this as I rarely post negative reviews in order to not hurt a business and their employees.

    My wife found this place on our most recent visit to Paso Robles - Good eyes!…read more We dropped in on a Tuesday night - we came in after a group of 6 were seated, and were seated within a few minutes. The place was really busy. I could see several flat screen TVs over the bar playing the World Cup, and the bar was slammed. We dithered over the menu - they provided a drink menu and a food menu. I ended up ordering a Trio - which was comprised of a Spicy Tuna sandwich, a Baja Burger (which was also spicy) and their Garlic Fries, which were served with a dish of a very spicy garlic aioli sauce that my wife and I shared. My wife ordered a Duo with a Vacation Mode sandwich which featured pesto chicken, hummus, olive tappanade, and garlic aioli. She really liked her sandwich. She paired that (Duo you get 2) with a California Cowboy Cobb salad, which as you can see in the photos, was quite large. The food was served hot and fresh - the fries were very nice shoestring type, and were cooked properly. I have had "spicy" Tuna sandwiches before - this was the first one which was really spicy - it was perfect. A nice slab of seared tuna as well. The burger was just plain good. They call the burgers "sliders" because they are around 3 inches in diameter. If you have a larger appetite, figure it out. The drinks were good - I ordered the Old Fashioned (if you don't know what that is, try one) and my wife ordered the more exotic Beauty School Dropout, which had Crowbar Pink Gin, Elderflower liquer, lavender and honey syrup, lemon AND lime juice which was served in a chilled cut glass coup glass. Yes, I know I used "glass twice". It was very tangy and refreshing. The place has large doors which were open with seating both inside and outside. There were larger tables for larger groups. Take a minute to go over the menu, or you might miss the slider of your dreams.
