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.

When we finally opened to eat it, half of the corn dog was burned and lot even edible. I usually love the batter but all I could taste was burned and rubbery hot dog.

The owner may want to address the short staffing issue or risk people not wanting to wait so long once seated. That is a simple fix since everything else there is great!

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.

Food was taking a really long time (also expensive for what it is), the person taking the order at the counter wasn't that nice to my family that I was translating for nor was the server. After people around us were served that ordered after us, I said "I want my fkn fries" at a totally normal volume to my family privately, and the server (owners gf) heard me (my bad) came over with the owner to scold me lol. Which is crazy bc the owner has cursed at people and called them names in responses to reviews here! He's been so nasty to any low reviews.

I recently bought a frozen duck breast that was locally produced and just delicious. Also reasonably priced. Some of their offerings are expensive but I have found that our local butcher scene really delivers astoundingly good results - I would rather eat less meat that's more humanely raised and the flavor of which is off the charts than eat cheap meat often. It's worth it, in this chef's opinion. (Sinton &Sons is also great.) Our dine in expérience could've been better - we asked for rare but got well done, etc etc. It's perhaps too much for one person to man the counter and also do waiter duty. We probably won't eat here very often but it's great for specialty shopping.
