I've left some negative comments recently, including comparing The Paso Robles Inn Steakhouse to Jeffry's. So a comment about Jeffrey's. Outstanding. Always. Busy or slow, they know why we're all willing to pay them for making us dinner. I had a salad last we were there. One option for dressing was using their bbq sauce. Amazing! Burgers and steaks are cooked to order because they pay attention to the quality of their food. Nothing gets sent back to their kitchen, ever. The only joint in North County serving pork that is as flavorful as Jeffry's is the Pig Iron in Templeton. read more

We had a great dinner at Jeffry's BBQ in Paso Robles. There were plenty of menu choices and a good amount of seating, and the heat lamps made it comfortable to enjoy dinner outside. We ordered the chopped brisket sandwich with French fries and the smoked bacon mac and cheese--everything was flavorful, hearty, and hit the spot. The portions were satisfying and exactly what you'd hope for from a BBQ dinner. The only reason this wasn't quite a 5-star experience was that our chili was accidentally left out of our to-go order. Otherwise, everything else was really enjoyable and service was good. Overall, a solid BBQ spot in Paso Robles and we'd definitely come back to try more of the menu. read more

Check the low reviews- Yelp is made to help businesses and only show a few one star reviews but check out the 1-2 star ones. I'm Still traumatized from my visit here years ago. 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 tried to post his responses but Yelp flagged it or he got it removed idk. Also I hate leaving one star reviews you can see my history so this was truly a unique experience and treatment. read more

Stopped in for lunch at Jeffry's and ordered the sampler BBQ plate, which did not disappoint. Everything on it was delicious, great flavors and clearly done with care in the kitchen. It was a scorcher outside that day, but the food more than made up for it! Would definitely recommend for a satisfying BBQ lunch in Paso Robles. read more

We love eating at Jeffry's BBQ when we're in Paso! Love their pulled pork sandwich! My daughter always gets the wings! Everyone goes away full and satisfied. Their patio is so lovely to sit and sip your drink for a while (I mean, you are in Paso so have some great wine with your BBQ), the wait staff is attentive and the food is served in a timely manner. read more

This place was fabulous. Located in a little alleyway in downtown Paso Robles. You walk into a little outdoor seat, seating space and take a left to order inside. The inside has a walk up order encounter and a few tables towards the back. We ordered a half a rack of ribs, a side of fries, and the pulled pork sandwich with the potato salad. The food was delicious and full of flavor. You can always tell a good rib by the amount of sauce that is on top. Usually when they're slathered in sauce, the meat quality is not as great as when it is drizzled. Our ribs were drizzled with sauce, and after we tasted it, we could definitely say the quality of meat is top-notch. The gentleman who brought our food out to us was super friendly and helpful as this was our first time. They have several heating lamps and a table with a little fire pit in the middle of it to help. Keep you warm on those chilly days and evenings. This is definitely a place that we will frequent read more

Food was great, mac & cheese was a bit bland, but everything else was tasty. Expected table service for the price, other than bringing out the food, you were pretty much on your own for anything else. The shared patio was clean and well-shaded, not bad for outdoor seating. read more

Jeffry's Wine Country BBQ - Pulled Chicken Sandwich with potato salad - Wine Bars Near Me - Paso Robles, California

BBQ craving satisfied! YUMMM First off, the aesthetics are a whole vibe. It's like walking into a perfect blend of a classic and modern California fusion winery. We enjoyed a little bit of everything. Our spread included the tri-tip mac and cheese, pulled pork, brisket, and ribs. The sides we tried were ranch beans, potato salad, and creamy coleslaw. My favorite and go-to BBQ meat will always be pulled pork. Their pulled pork is excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed it! The meat was tender and flavorful, and the regular BBQ sauce was the perfect icing on top. The brisket is right up there. My second favorite thing here. The brisket's shredded texture and taste are much like pulled pork. So good. My bf had the tri-tip Mac and cheese. Delish. One of the best mac and cheeses we've tried. I especially loved the side salad addition. I don't normally like salad with my meats, but it was the perfect amount of freshness. My bf and his friend loved the ranch beans. The dill potato salad was interesting. I'm not a huge fan of dill, but I can appreciate the creativity in flavors. I can definitely say you can't get these flavors anywhere else. Last but not least, the owners are so friendly and welcoming. Jeffry came over to chat with us and make sure we were having a great time. He was so kind and personable. He even brought us over a glass of his very own wine blend for us to try. Surrender to the Flow is a must-try. It's the perfect pairing with the BBQ. Kat, his wife, was so patient and helpful while helping us with our order. Thank you for a beautiful experience, and we will be happy to return the next time we are in town. read more

This was my first time at Jeffry's for breakfast and it was great! The portions were awesome and was super impressed. I added avocado and tritip to my burrito. It was a quality breakfast burrito for sure. Will definitely come back and get it. read more

Call boy barbecue I'm in! Until life showed up extremely hot in between buildings so no chance of a cool breeze ,hotter than well!! lost my order so I sat there for over 20 minutes in the heat. They apologized and said I'll be up in five minutes. It was just too blazing hot no breeze! So I asked just give me a refund. my part of the order came out almost right away barbecued pork ribs except they weren't barbecued. They were baked in an oven? How is that barbecue only in California? I guess??? Went around the corner for some hot wings. much better service air-conditioning, and a great waitress. Street side ale house and eatery was a blessing to find thank God!!! read more

Good looking food that tastes OK. I ordered the smoked banh mi sandwich. Excellent fusion idea, but poorly executed. The bun fell apart early on in the meal. They should have gone with a baguette like a traditional banh mi. The meat was OK. They smoke on Traeger grills with pellets. That doesn't really get a good smoke flavor on meat. I had higher hopes for a BBQ joint. A lot of good BBQ teams are from California. Maybe this was just a miss or off day. A red flag was they have pulled chicken and chopped brisket. That tells me they cannot hit the right temp on their meats consistently so they just overcook everything. They also serve their bread with Country Crock which is nuts for their prices. The service was OK. I tipped way too much for the knowledge from the counter. She didn't know what they used to smoke the meat, but she did ask. I wouldn't choose to eat here again. read more

Jeffry's has consistently tasty food and reasonably quick service. I've tried the pork, tri-tips and chicken and they're all good. I have yet to try the paella, that is on my to-try list. If they have a weakness, it is that there is no indoor seating (a few stools at the covered bar), making take-out the best option on a rainy day. read more

Saw this place last night off the alley and was drawn in by the Paella on the sign. We asked about it as it didn't appear on the menu. Took a bit and was told it would be available tomorrowe (Sunday). Saw the breakfast menu and rereturned today. Split a breakfast burrito with brisket and got their soup of the day (corn chowder). Soup had to be reheated, but was good as well as the burrito. Got a military discount as well. Got to sit inside, as it was super cold. read more

Found this on Yelp as we were getting ready to head home to Fresno. It wasn't the easiest to find as it is behind the main building. The social smokehouse chili was excellent. The ribs and Mac and cheese tasted great. Their outdoor seating area is really cool with umbrellas and heaters. read more

We ordered DoorDash from Jeffrey's Barbecue Grill today for a company meeting: four tri-tip sandwiches, two Caesar salads, and two chicken salads. The food tasted fine, but it definitely wasn't worth the price. The to-go boxes came with only a few chips, the portions were smaller than expected, and there was only about half the amount of pico de gallo you would expect. For what we paid, the value just wasn't there. The food was decent, but there are much better barbecue places in the area that offer better portions and better overall value. Unfortunately, we wouldn't order from here again. read more

The food is DELICIOUS! We had ribs a burger and seasoned fries! The ribs were fall off the bone tender! The burger was perfectly seasoned with all the fixings. My husband had coleslaw, I enjoyed a side salad. Our friend had the sausage and potato soup. We loved it so much, we took home half a gallon for the next couple of days meals. Yum! Thanks Cat and Jeffry for the hospitality. I recommend pairing with wine from Indigene next door!!! read more

What a hidden gem. In the alley so a little challenging to find if you're not a local. Great customer service. Ordered the Cesar salad, Paso Mac n Cheese Steak, side of fries and a chicken salad. All the food was hot and delicious. The French fries were fantastic! Sitting outdoors in the sunshine with heaters on, it was wonderful. Thanks Jeffry read more

This place is a hidden gem in an alleyway. It's all outdoors and they have fans blowing. I ordered the brisket and ribs platter and it came with beans and Mac & cheese. I didn't know it came with sourdough so I ordered a side of it. Also I didn't want the cole slaw but they didn't offer anything I could substitute it with so basically I paid the same price but didn't get one of my sides. The 4 stars is for the ribs and the brisket. The meat was SO TENDER I'm talking fall off the bone tender. I have not found ribs this good in a very long time. Would come back for the meat and mac. Beans was a little too spicy for my taste. Wish servers were a little friendlier. read more

Cool spot down an alley that draws you in with the incredible smell of BBQ. The portions are really big but on this day, the meat was not very hot, and kinda lacked some taste. We added sauce to spice it up. You order at the counter and food is brought to you at picnic tables outside. If it's cold, make sure to wear a jacket. Not all the tables are in the sun read more

7/11/2025. Update. I expected the nasty reply from the manager. I had heard he doesn't take well to suggestions on how to improve and bad mouths customers. Well that's been proven. I'm an 8 year plus elite reviewer and do many great reviews when deserved. Paying for tri tip on nachos and getting a few tiny tiny meat pieces is not okay. Poor service and servers who can't be bothered to help or speak to customers is a known issue here. Honestly, I went back because we really want up see improvements on on food and service and hoped for the best. It wasn't just me. My partner Dan is a hard no. Way harder than my feeling about it. My adult daughter had heard the talk about the management bad attitude. I've wanted nothing but to see improvements. The very first time we ate there it was good and servers were helpful. That memory kept me coming back. Our last couple visits have just been poor! That's on ms sheet. Not on me! Owners who bad mouth customers like me don't deserve to have a restaurant. It's on you dude. Do better ! ****Also I never antagonized any staff!!! I don't know where you came up with this . I never complained or said anything to them. I was just shocked at their apathy and boredom with their jobs. Acting like calling for a glass of ice to chill my wine on a hot summer day was unreasonable. I just walked away after she begrudgingly gave me the ice without a word. 6/21/2025. 3 adults. 2 kids. Gave it another try. First for new guests the restaurant is down an alley off a parking lot for other businesses. The main restaurant is all outdoors picnic table style but with metal chairs. There's about 60% shade but depending on the sun it's hard for everyone at your table to be shaded with the umbrellas and it gets very hot in Paso summers. The best, shadiest table was taken by kitchen staff getting off work and waiting for their ride to pick them up. 1. Why is there still no kids menu and why isn't "simple Mac n cheese " simple? Why does it have strong pepper in it? Not good. We all tried it and no one liked it. 2. Ordered large nachos with added tri tip. Meat was barely there. Hard to find very tiny crumbs of it. 3. We ordered food. Then my boyfriend had his up to get me a glass of wine. It's hot out and I like my wine very chilled. White. I want ice so I asked for a cup of ice and the 2 women at counter looked pissed I dated to ask for it. I was very nice and thanked her also. They both never said one word to me. And to be clear we were there about 3 pm and the restaurant had only about 3 tables of guests. It was slow and the 2 young women staff were just chatting to each other by the register like on break 4. Dan and I had waited about 10 min at the table and no one ever greeted us. It wasn't busy and no one stopped by to say welcome or anything. 5. All service was abrupt or ignored and you felt they didn't like working there. 6. We won't be back. It's too expensive for what you get and service sucks. The boys didn't like the Mac n cheese. 7. The smooth Albariño wine we had before was no longer in the wine list. I had something basic that was just okay as a white wine. read more

Real busy but real good. This place runs like a backyard BBQ with serious culinary chops behind it. Even with the crowds, the food came out fast, hot, and packed with flavor -- smoky, tender meats and sides that actually hold their own. Mac and Cheese was great as well as the pulled pork. The outdoor vibe fits Paso, and you can tell the locals (and visitors) love it here. Service was solid despite the crowd, which earns points. Definitely worth the stop, just plan for a little wait if you come during peak hours. read more

Enjoyed our lunch with friends yesterday. Pleasant outdoor environment, great lunch. Service was excellent and friendly ,

Absolutely amazing bbq. Great outdoor seating, friendly staff. The food is off the charts!!

What can I say about this place that hasn't already been said? The food was amazing! The service was fantastic and the wine was flowing. The Tri tip Mac and cheese is a must try! It was oozing in cheesy goodness and the Tri tip was very tender. The Tri tip sandwich was was great too! The bun was soft and a little crispy on the inside. The potato chips were also a favorite. I had them as a snack for the next day too! Super crunchy and just the right seasoning. I can imagine the amount of time it takes to smoke all their meats and it shows with how tender and flavorful each dish is. HIGHLY RECOMMEND eating here, this spot did not disappoint read more

VERY casual - GREAT food. Rustic decor. Hard to find-in the alley, but would definitely go back.

First, you should know that Apple Maps (maybe Google as well) will lead you to an upstairs salon on 12th Street. The woman at the desk says this happens all the time and led us to a backstairs down to the actual restaurant. I wouldn't want to try these stairs in the dark! Better to enter thru the alley between 12th and 13th street. Most (all?) of the seating is outside. You find the small side room where you place your order. We had a brisket sandwich and a pulled chicken sandwich. The chicken sandwich had a lot of pulled chicken but there wasn't any obvious smoke flavor. I prefer a tomato / molasses / cider vinegar sauce with some smoke and heat - what I got was a thin, orange colored sauce without a lot of flavor. My partner found the burger inedible. When asked what was wrong she just said "uggh." Maybe we caught the cook on a bad day, but we didn't enjoy our meals. read more

Downtown Paso Robles has so many good eating spots and this place came highly recommended to us while we visited for the day. It's tucked away in Normas Alley and walking up you can smell the delicious bbq smoke. You order up front first and then find seating which is mostly outside from what we could see which was nice for a warm sunny day. I ordered the smoked tri tip sandwich ($17) and the hubby ordered the pulled pork sandwich ($16.50) each with a side of potato salad and shared the Mac and cheese. For drinks I got the margarita($11) he got the Cuba libre ($10). The drinks tasted ok but The food was delicious and flavorful! Perfect bbq flavors and enough food to leave you satisfied. read more

This place is great for a quick bite! It's tucked away down an alley right next to a small wine tasting room. After living in Tennessee for a year I would say this type of BBQ most closely represents what you would find in the south! Plus their specials are great! FYI it's all outdoor seating but it is mostly covered. read more

One of the best breakfast spots in Paso! Highly recommend the breakfast burrito - it is fire!

First of all, thank you Jeffery and his crew, for an incredible smoked tri-tip. We were celebrating our nephew's 18th birthday, and he requested tri-tip. We didn't have to think too long to know, there is only one place in town that could prepare the best tasting tri-tip. We personal spoke with Jeffery to work out all the details and everything went flawless. Our guests were simply amazed at the perfection of how well it was cooked, sliced and that smokey flavor of the tri-tip. It even came with smokey Au Jus. We are going to rave to everyone we know and tell them about this great place. Encourage them to try all the other homemade food they have on the menu. Great selection of beer and wine too. Thank you, Steve read more

We went to Jeffry's to support a local school fundraiser. The staff was really friendly and the outdoor setting was lovely, especially at night with the flame heaters going and string lights strung across the patio. The only thing I didn't like was that there was a fair amount of smoke from their meat smoker. We all came home smelling like a campfire. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meals. I had the mac & cheese with a side salad and the flavors and portions were just right. My husband had a Cobb salad which was hearty and had homemade dressing. My daughter had the vegetarian tacos and said they were good. I enjoyed a cider on tap. I was impressed with their drink selection. Our food took a really long time to arrive so my husband finally inquired. They said they were short staffed and brought us some brownies and apologized, which we appreciated. read more

We had lunch at Jeffry's Wine Country BBQ on our way out of Paso Robles last month. It was a great stop, right in the cute downtown area we otherwise missed on this visit. We were slightly hung over from almost 24 hours of winey debauchery, and some easy barbecue was exactly what we needed. Jeffry's is a casual spot where you order at a counter and seat yourself. It wasn't too busy when we were there, around 1:00 on a Sunday afternoon. There was a line to order, but it moved fast, and our food came out almost as soon as we sat down. I decided to cap my Paso trip with a soju Bloody Mary, which was tasty and refreshing and sensibly low in alcohol. My husband had a draft beer from There Does Not Exist, a San Luis Obsipo brewery. We split a brisket and ribs combo tray for lunch, which came with two pork ribs and six ounces of chopped brisket, along with house BBQ sauce, mac and cheese, ranch beans, sesame ginger slaw, pickles, and white bread and butter. I also added a cup of the house chili, topped with with shredded cheese and sour cream. Not a huge portion of meat, but there was plenty of food on the table, and everything was quite satisfying. I liked Jeffry's Wine Country BBQ. It was a pleasant spot with good food and no hassle, and I'd be happy to go back on another trip to Paso Robles. read more

Wandered in here because the smell of heavenly meats was wafting all over downtown. I haven't even finished my 2nd taco and I have to write this review. This is the best pulled pork I have ever had in California. The only other pulled pork that competes with this was a luau in Maui. I am immediately teleported. Potato salad is very good also. Never change. read more

Jeffry's was a lunch stop because 1. God I want some bbq and 2. God...did I have bbq already and C. I've been drinking...God, I want some BBQ! lol Why did we not come here earlier? We've been to Indigene Wines and smelled this wonderful meats and tell me again why I didn't go then? Anyway you can get wine here or beer or go to Indigene Wines and chat with Ray and the world is good. We came, we ordered, and we conquered some damn good bbq. Quick service, with an outdoor patio for your doggies, and they have heaters when the temp drops -- not to worry. Between both of us, we ordered the combo plate that had all the fixins, ribs, and brisket. Yes yes yes!!! I got a nice IPA but wine is of course also available. The ribs and off the bone good, and the Mac and cheese is da bomb cheeesey goodness!! Why did we not come here instead of some fancy BS restaurant?! Ugh!! Never again! We will be BACK BBQ!! ;-) read more

This place is an absolute clown show. Two ribs and a tiny thing of brisket plus a salad and Mac and cheese came out to $90. This place is a rip off beyond comprehension. Do not go here if you are in Paso. They deserve to be out of business. I did not order through a third party as they claimed. I ordered at the counter in person. read more

Jeffry's Wine Country BBQ - $90 worth of food? - Wine Bars Near Me - Paso Robles, California

I genuinely want to love this place--because it is good. And with a few thoughtful adjustments, it has the potential to be truly exceptional. I agree with Nancy's review and also echo the recurring concern shared by others regarding the demeanor of the woman at the counter. When your role involves direct interaction with the public, warmth and basic friendliness are not optional--they are essential. Unfortunately, her consistently cold and dismissive attitude creates an unwelcoming atmosphere and leaves patrons feeling uncomfortable. The food is, overall, solid. Pulled pork, burgers, salads, nachos--all enjoyable and well-executed. The menu has a nice variety. However, a kid-friendly menu would be a welcome addition. Something as simple as a classic, plain mac and cheese would go a long way. Children often get excited by familiar menu items, only to be disappointed when the flavor profile skews too adult. This would be an easy, practical improvement. The ambiance is inviting, and I truly want to continue supporting this local business. However, it's hard to ignore the impact of how the owner publicly responds to feedback. The tone of those replies has become somewhat notorious and, frankly, off-putting. Professionalism matters--especially in how one handles critique. It's possible to defend your business while remaining gracious and respectful. To be clear: I intend to keep coming back. The food and setting are enjoyable. I simply hope that both the staff and ownership recognize that customer experience extends beyond the plate--and that a little more appreciation for the people who choose to support you can make all the difference. read more

It's been a minute since I pushed away a tray of bbq. 38 bucks for two meat and three sides. The brisket was lacking any flavor beyond some sauce. It along with the ribs were COLD. Not just warm or not hot - cold! I am concerned how long they were sitting at that unsafe temp - maybe I'll find out later. It really sucks when you go to a BBQ joint and the best things on your plate ends up being the macncheese. The brand were okay, they had spice and some flavor. Ginger doesn't belong in sale at a BBQ place. PS: beer was warmer than the meats! Responding to Jeffrey- I find it interesting reading responses like yours when proprietors attempt to put their failure off to the customer and blame me for your miserable attempt at preparing a proper barbeque plate. We stood in line to order - were we supposed to go wait in line again? Because nobody, not even Jeffrey was checking on tables. Your attempt at blaming me for not giving you a second chance at offering me more mediocre good is absurd. Do it right the first time! read more
