Great breakfast and friendly service. This is the place to go in Templeton for that homestyle breakfast.

Unbelievably Delicious! Stopped in just by chance the other morning! First thing first - coffee hot and strong- excellent Ordered the chilaquiles and were delivered to the table absolutely spot on with hash browns that were crispy and a side of refried beans. The waitresses were fast and super friendly. read more

Perfect, classic diner feel. Staff was great, we sat at the bar. Food came out quick and no complaints! All was great, would come back. read more

Went to Joe's Place a couple years back, so when we were staying in Templeton and saw there was Joe's Other Place, we knew we could get a solid breakfast. We ordered the Chilaquiles supreme and two egg breakfast to share. We had the Chilaquiles last time so we already knew they'd be good. We asked for our hashbrowns extra crispy and were very happy with how they came out. It was very crowded on a weekday morning, seemed like a very popular spot for locals, felt like we were the only out of towners and everyone else was a regular. read more

This place is still good! I actually enjoyed their chilaquiles; they came with plenty of tri-tip, and while the salsa didn't taste particularly Mexican or authentic, it was still flavorful. We were seated right away on a Sunday morning, which was a pleasant surprise. The biscuits and gravy were good, and I really liked the country potatoes. Overall, it was a solid breakfast spot with a nice variety of options. Cost is now about $40 for breakfast for two. read more

Joe's Other Place is a regular stop on my trips to the Central Coast to see our grandkids. It's less crowded than Joe's Place in Paso Robles. My favorite is the Bergin. 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. They don't have much time to chat but you get your food in a jiffy and your coffee cup is always full. read more

Breakfast on Easter Sunday...Great! The food was fresh and well prepared. The service was prompt, friendly and accommodating. Our party of four each had something different. Each of us enjoyed our experience. Thank you!!! read more

Amazing!!! First stop on our trip towards Paso. Great food. Great people. Great ambience.

We got breakfast burritos to go, and boy are they stingy on the eggs. I got the egg bacon and potato breakfast burrito. Guess what? About 90% of it was ALL POTATOES. I think I literally got 2 whole potatoes and 1 egg in a burrito. It was the worst breakfast burrito. I would not recommend. We decided to not come here the next day and went to our usual place in downtown Paso (Los Robles Cafe) where they don't have 99% potato and 1 egg in a burrito. read more

This restaurant is located in the downtown area of Templeton. There's plenty of street parking and a few spots in the back parking lot. We arrived on a Sunday a little after 9 and were greeted right away. Service is fast and efficient. I ordered the Monterey Omelette which was properly cooked. It had a little spice but not enough to take over the entire dish. There's a little something for everyone so if you're hungry, go to Joes! read more

Love Joe's! We've been coming here for years and it feels like family. Sandy, Miranda, and Diane are amazing and always take such great care of us no matter how busy they get on a beautiful Saturday morning. The food is incredible- highly recommend the secret menu chilaquiles verde, crispy hashbrowns, and (not pictured) the cinnamon roll. This is a long overdue review of my favorite breakfast spot, can't wait to come back. read more

The huevos rancheros were very good, as were the chilaquiles with tri-tip beef. Nice wood paneling gives the place an Old World vibe though the decor is All-American. The waitress was friendly and attentive. read more

Update on my previous review as we were in the neighborhood. Food was still good. I had a Lorraine omelette, with bacon, spinach, tomatoes, and cheese. My husband had a ham and cheese omelette. We both got crispy hashbrowns, although the home fries looked really good. I got wheat toast and he got an English muffin. The service was great. We sat at the counter because it was packed. Three huge groups. Don't know our servers name, but she was good. Kept my coffee cup filled, and my husband's water glass filled. We left about 10 and the crowd had started to die down. read more

Yikes! I'm a local and have been coming here for years. My son and I came a couple days ago and it was just so bad. Our food (chilaquiles, pancake and a patty melt) were old tasting and arrived cold. We both felt nauseous after leaving here. Nothing seemed fresh and it was honestly pretty disgusting. Won't be coming back unfortunately. read more

Still an awesome breakfast place! We ordered a cinnamon roll (3.5 Stars) and Biscuits and Gravy (4 Stars) for the table. I ordered the Chile Verde Omelette (3 Stars) with Hash Browns (4.5 Stars) with no beans because who needs that kinda fuel for the long ride home to the bay area.. doh! The Chile Verde was ok, good chucks but not much flavor or heat. I'll try something different next time. I wanted to explore the menu more on this trip but it didn't work out. I usually get the country breakfast stuff, like gravy, sausage, chicken fried steak, bacon, biscuits, etc. which they do sooooo good. The bacon is thick cut with a black seasoned smoke ring. Super good. The sourdough bread (2 Stars) was not that sour, May have been white bread, I'll skip next time, biscuits are the way to go. Until next time... read more

I went with my family to this place for breakfast, service was really good and food was awesome!

the eggs benedict are the best!!! Love Joes! The One Diner at the Paso Robles airport is really fun :) read more

My husband suggested this restaurant as he had been here before. Why not, I said. We walked in this quaint little restaurant that I could tell that this is a locals restaurant. It was crowded and I knew it was going to be good. We were sat immediately and menus are on the table. An extensive menu. This was going to be a hard decision. I ended up choosing chicken fried steak, eggs over medium, hash browns and sourdough toast. Frank ordered style of burger and vegetable beef soup. Our food arrived and instantly I knew my stomach couldn't handle all this food. I swear this is the first restaurant that got my eggs perfect. The gravy on the chicken fried steak is delicious and hash browns fried to perfection. The toast is a whole different story. Don't expect a thin piece of toast. Massive thickness. Yummy! Frank's Berger was also served on thick, toasted bread. He devoured it! The soup, that's a whole new level of deliciousness. That did not come from a can! Beyond delicious. Outstanding service, exceptional low prices ( massive meal under $35) and I can't wait to go back. read more

Eggs Benedict to go. It was yummy and this place is always packed so the community must love it. I will try something else next time.

Had been in the Templeton area for a doctor's appointment and wanted a nice place for a late breakfast. The gals in the antique shop I stopped at recommended a different restaurant, but there was no parking available so I drove further down the road and luckily there was one parking spot left at Joe's. I had never been here before so I perused the menu for something to order that was a bit unusual. I found it in the "Gorilla" burger. It came on Texas Toast. I was concerned that the bread wouldn't hold up to a large burger, but it was fine!! The burger was juicy and tasty and the fries were acceptable (but not spectacular). I ordered a side salad that was good with Blue Cheese dressing. I would definitely come here again if I was in Templeton. This is definitely a locals place, they have a bar where people can sit instead of at tables. I chose not to sit there since I am still a bit COVID shy and didn't want to sit that close to other people. Locals were there chatting up the waitress. I felt badly for her, though, because she has to put up with these guys hitting on her all the time!! I suppose that goes with the territory working in a small town diner style restaurant. Families, couples, and singeltons were dining here while I was there. More expensive than I would like, but these days it is hard to find a restaurant that is affordable. Next time I will try their breakfast. read more

Joes has down home good food. I highly recommend their breakfast! The waitresses were so nice and helpful. I will definitely return!

I've been to Joe's many always great but today I had a BLT and it wasn't so good. Just small light on the tomato and light on the bacon. Don't think I would order that again. read more

Sandy, Karen & Diane were fabulous!! A sweet little spot that reminds me why living here is a great place! I've been a resident for 15 years, my kiddos born and raised in the area and having a mom & pop spot that's still hot makes me VERY happy :) my husband and daughter shared two orders amongst us all with a cinnamon roll. Fresh, hot and quick on the menu and service. Thanks for giving our family date the wonderful memories we were looking for. Hi to the ladies who made good conversation with us!! See you again soon!! read more

Good quality food that is decently portioned. The service was good. It is wheelchair accessible, you can park in their parking lot or across the street. I really liked their bacon bit clusters in my omelet and the home fries read more

Left San Luis Obispo early in morning. Asked my wife to fund us some place to eat in Paso Robles. She said, quick, take the next exit to Templeton. Never been here, driven past many times. Great little downtown. Super clean! Joe's didn't let me down! Food was great. Very clean and everyone that came in our waitress knew. We felt right at home! Customer service was excellent! Will be stopping here every time we pass through! read more

They were specifically told no cheese due to an allergy. It was written down in the order NO CHEESE. Got home to enjoy this $10 burrito and go figure it has CHEESE!!!! Awesome way to ruin a meal and whole waste of time and money. I wouldn't recommend this place. Simple directions can't be followed. It's not difficult to read and then double check the order. read more

So, While on vaca with the Mrs. we were driving through Templeton and came across this little diner. I must say, "My stomach was happy we did!" From the awesome service, to the support of Armed Forces...this place reminds me of my childhood. The menu is simple and mouth watering. I ordered a Sausage patty with hash browns. My wife ordered the biscuits and country gravy. They have all your home cooked favorites. The food is a reasonable price. The salsa was superb. If you're ever driving through Templeton on Main St. please stop in for a good traditional breakfast and great service, you won't be disappointed. I'll definitely be back again. Four thumbs up, that's including my 2 big toes! read more

Second time here, lucky enough to sit next to the same old-timer as before, local Larry, on his birthday today! The staff had balloons for him- like who does that!?!? I love this place- it's so personable and small town. I mean, everyone sang happy birthday to him! And the Huevos Rancheros, just DELISH!! Just the perfect flavors melded together with a wee kick of chipotle, is it..? The coffee's always hot and does the trick. The servers were just stellar, it was just a perfect breakfast. Thank you, Joe and Team!! read more

Joe's Other Place is like no other. Quaint, cozy country cafe serving up delicious breakfast, smiles, streaming HOT coffee. I highly recommend a breakfast burrito smothered in Chile Verde with a side of salsa. Every bite is delicious! The San Francisco scramble was an outstanding perfect balance of protein. There is nothing wimpy about Wimpy's special. Try either one or something else. I don't think you'll be disappointed. I'm trying the Chilaquiles next ;D I told Joe we shall have a date again erysoon ;D read more

If you're looking for great home cooking, cozy atmosphere, and great service come to Joe's. I got the tuna melt on Texas toast and it was delicious.

We usually go to the Joe's in Paso and after our visit with this location, we will only go to Joe's in Paso. Our waitress was fine, she was nice, prompt and the food came out quick. But... The portions were half of what you get in Paso. 1 piece of toast instead of 2, very small serving of hash browns and only 2 weak pieces of bacon. The eggs weren't cooked properly and were slimy. The real issue I had with this location is what the younger waitress with curly hair did. We watched her clear dirty dishes and cups with gloves on then proceed to serve orders with the same gloves on. She then started wiping down tables, then the seats, THEN the foot of the table on the floor and use the same towel to wipe down other tables! Watched her do this a few times and decided right then and there we'll never come back. read more

Our 2nd time here. Very worthy of a review. I got the country scramble after seeing a couple next to us order it. A serious heap of deliciousness on one plate: scrambled eggs, country sausage gravy with chopped crispy bacon on top. I picked hash browns and not country cubed potatoes as the base. They bake their own biscuits, so I picked that. It was fresh out of the oven, had to let it cook. Hub got the ham steak, eggs over easy with country potatoes and sourdough toast. The servers wore masks and disinfected the table top and condiments. One random customer came in and seated himself without a mask. Everyone else wore masks until their food arrived. Ask for a cinnamon roll to go-you won't have room! I ate about 1/3 of my plate. And 1/2 the biscuit. read more

A friendly smile, acknowledgment, be right with you - goes a long way. Stood at the door with 4 empty tables available for several minutes while one of the two (seemingly overwhelmed) waitresses buzzed around clearing tables and delivering food and then buzzed right around us and out the door for a larger party waiting to be seated. Upon return.. "what'd you need" seeming relatively irritated by our presence and upon my response of two for lunch - eye contact ended and as she walked away "gimme a min". Lady you can have all day.. Thought this was "Joes", not "Karen's". We all have bad days.... Busy moments....and dumb people we've had to deal with.. feel like I was the next guy who took it on the chin for the one prior. Thanks but no thanks. read more

I love coming to Joe's Place for breakfast. It's a total local vibe and a great place to grab breakfast with friends. It's low key and staff is so friendly and attentive. I really enjoy a classic breakfast with bacon and eggs but if I'm feeling extra hungry I'll order their Chorizo Supreme with tortillas. read more

I really do enjoy the food from this place and the small town feel their Cinnamon buns are amazing.

Best breakfast in San Luis Obispo county. The cook handles eggs like a five star chef. Now...if they only served Bloody Marys!!
