We were in a rush to get back to SF, so I ordered a breakfast burrito for take out. I loved how I could customize the burrito with extra spinach and cheese. The egg and chicken sausage was thick.

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!

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.

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!

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.

Funny thing is I found this shop by accident and I'm so glad I did. I was staying in Atascadero…read morelooking for a local coffee shop there and instead of hitting the one I thought was going to in my GPS, I accidentally hit Amstrdm instead. Even though it was a 15 minute drive up the freeway from where I was, it was worth every minute. The downtown area this shop is in was really cool, plenty of parking, and the moment you walked into this coffee shop you could tell it was going to be good. Lots of space, people sitting and having conversations, and a greeting from the Barista the second I walked through the door. I went with my standard iced oat milk latte with honey and a triple shot and it was perfect. I wish I could have drank it there because the inside of the shop seemed like a place you could hang out for a while. Unfortunately, I had to take it on the road, but that is a shop (if I lived in that area) I would drive out of my way to get to. Well done guys!

To be fair, we did order a latte, so that is partly expected. The breakfast sandwich was good but a little underseasoned and could have used a bit more flavor overall. The chicken pesto sandwich was the standout. The pesto was well balanced and did not overpower the rest of the ingredients, which made the sandwich really pleasant to eat. Overall, everything was solid, though slightly pricey for the portion sizes. The food was good, but nothing especially memorable. Still, it is a nice stop if you are in the area.

We ordered the veggie omelet, veggie scrambled eggs, pancakes, French toast, and the kids pancake with bacon. Each entrée came with a choice of toast or an English muffin. One thing that really stood out was that, without us even asking, the staff split the dishes onto separate plates for everyone at the table. It was such a thoughtful gesture and made sharing so much easier. The veggie scrambled eggs were loaded with fresh vegetables, and the salsa added a great burst of flavor. I personally preferred the hash browns, they were perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The breakfast potatoes were also good, and the rest of my family actually liked those more. The pancake was huge and fluffy, and the French toast was finished with a dusting of powdered sugar. The kids pancake came in the shape of Mickey Mouse, which absolutely made my son's day. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and made with quality ingredients. Between the exceptional service and delicious food, this has become my favorite breakfast spot whenever I travel to the South. Highly recommend!

The reason to come here is for the food. We shared the Birria Chilaquiles and Menudo. The chilaquiles came with home fries and were delicious. Not too spicy so I added some hot sauce to them. Nicely, the tortilla chips were of a smaller size than I'm used to making it much easier to eat. The menudo was also delicious and came with a nice spread of tortilla chips and vegetables. Service was relatively quick and friendly. When we were there, they were down one waitress but the woman serving the whole restaurant did her best to keep everyone happy.
