From the moment we walked in, the service was outstanding and the food was just as impressive. We came here with my family for breakfast and had a fantastic experience. 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! read more

Delicious old school diner! Joe's Place has an All American Vibe. There are proud American posters, marvel characters, Marine paraphernalia & old school posters. The servers are efficient, but not overly friendly. This is our 4th or 5th time coming here & we'll definitely be returning when we are in the area again. I love that it isn't pretentious, the pricing is fair, & the food quality is excellent. I highly recommend trying Joe's Place in Paso. read more

Joe's Place Paso Robles - Cup of Joe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Paso Robles, California

Very nice local diner. Classic atmosphere and with excellent service and big portions! Loved the bottomless Boyd's coffee, can't beat black coffee at diners. Kid got his water in the paper cup:) Went for what seemed to show up on reviews the most. - Ranchero steak & eggs = the steak was tri tip, which was too chewy. It worked out once I started slicing thin pieces from it and it became tender enough to eat. * I think the correct choice is to pay more to get the 12oz NY steak and eggs instead, since tri tip just too chewy. The famous ranchero sauce was good, but quite spicy! Kept eating it despite getting heated from spice, since it added the flavors. - Chilaquiles supreme = chilaquiles was good, but the tri tip piece from the supreme upgrade made it too chewy and detracted from the base chilaquiles. * I think the regular chilaquiles would be the better choice to enjoy without distraction of tri tip pieces. Or maybe ask if can make the supreme with other protein choices maybe some chopped up bacon or sausage pieces instead if allowed to substitute? - The hash browns side was perfect and delicious! Definitely wins over the homefries option. - Cinnamon roll = huge and a meal on it's own. was too much after the 2 entree's The menu is so vast, I think it's a winner as long as you stay away from entrees with tr tips. I just went too all in on tri tips, lol. Would love to try again sticking to the diner classics of pork chops or chicken fried steak, or the ny steak and eggs, or any omelettes or burritos. read more

Great food, fast and friendly service! Jessie was our waitress and she was the best. We were driving through town on the way back from shaver lake with our 4 little kids and she made sure they got exactly what they wanted. Cute place! read more

We are happy to have found this place. The perfect breakfast spot with good old fashioned food and friendly staff. The decor is very American and the theme runs throughout the building. Joe himself stopped by our table to share a couple stories and our son enjoyed meeting him. The eggs are fresh, coffee is bottomless, the hash browns were perfect, the French toast was fluffy & homemade, and they even had lucky charms cereal, my son loved the special treat. It gets PACKED, another sign that it's a great restaurant. Enjoy! read more

Veggie omelette with less onions as requested Spinach, cheese, mushroom omelette and loved the fact that each plate came with salsa! That was wonderful to see and taste on our omelettes. Meals came out quick and hot. Both with home fries and toast, but we also purchased a cinnamon bun with lighter amount of glaze on it... bun came out hot! delicious cinnamon in it.... Coffee was okay and we had good table service. read more

Got Chicken Fried Steak and the Biscuits and Gravy with a sausage patty. The food was decent but the gravy was cold. The service was great though and the restaurant had many patriotic decorations. I can understand how it's a neighborhood favorite. read more

Sunday morning breakfast at a spot with strong diner energy -- old-school feel, quick turnover, no fluff. It was busy but not chaotic, and I grabbed a seat at the bar with no wait. I went for the steak and eggs (probably the priciest thing on the menu at $29), mostly out of curiosity -- and because I was nervous that medium rare would come out overcooked, I asked for rare. It came out very rare -- more red than I wanted, but still good. The ranchero sauce saved it. Gave the plate just enough taste and heat to make it work. The real winners were the hash browns -- crispy, golden, and hands down the best part of the meal. I'd come back just for those. The sourdough toast with butter also hit the mark. No tricks, just done right. Ordered fried egg whites, and the server called them "flat plain eggs," which honestly cracked me up. A very diner moment. Overall: good food, big portions, fast service, and no pretension. If you like the charm of a classic diner and don't mind a slightly overzealous steak order, Joe's delivers. read more

A classic "hole-in-the-wall" local eatery. Fun environment with lots of wall decor celebrating the military and veterans. The kind of hangout where a Jane Fonda sticker in the urinal wouldn't be out of place. Lots of friendly locals. Felt like a little piece of Texas had been dropped right into the middle of California. Excellent range of breakfast selections. Our group of four ordered a little of everything: eggs, hue is rancheros, pancakes, biscuits + gravy. Thumbs up all around the table. read more

This place is a really awesome diner. And very unique since it's inside an old house. The food was awesome and the service was great too. Just happened to find it here on Yelp while in town for something else. Was so stoked I even had to buy the mug. My daughter had the kids meal with a Mickey Mouse pancake that she loved. And I had something I think it was called the Bergen. Which is gravy on a biscuit and a slice of crab with an egg really good and the prices were good! read more

Basic breakfast spot Ambiance: old school country style dinner. Wooden tables and chairs. Lots of army decorations. Service: we had the younger waitress and she was super nice! The hostess was a bit snooty. We accidentally went in the exit to enter. Food: just ok Cake, egg and bacon: pancakes was the best, not as fluffy as expected, loved the butter. Barely any egg, bacon almost too crispy burnt Dillinger Breakfast Burrito: Perfect, hearty and amazing 2 egg, bacon breakfast: it was ok, the bacon a little too crispy. But lots of bacon to eat in fact 4 pieces. French toast: too small could have been better read more

I driving a wine tour today. I picked up grandma & grandpa in Nipomo. Picked up the "kids" in Paso with the new baby and we're sittin' at Joe's for breakfast. I sat myself at the counter, my favorite solo spot in a diner. Easy enough, menu was tried and true. I realized that their prices were a bit lower than most menus I've read lately...hum. I found a Wimpy Omelet, that looks good. They subbed fruit for the potato and that was the best mix of different fresh fruit, ever. Well in no time at all my breakfast was steaming hot in front of me, Thank you. Delicious as ever, bacon, turkey, cheese, sliced avocado on top, and a side of salsa, Yummy. I don't think I ever came up for air, it was really good and flavorful. Credit cards accepted, no they didn't let me wait till Tuesday. It can be difficult to see Joe's from street level, since it sits upon an elevation, ample parking but I'm sure it's a mad house on the weekends. I stick to weekdays for my return and I'll bring a friend look forward to a new delicacy. Tip Well foodguy-Martin read more

While exploring Paso Robles, looking for breakfast options, we learned of Joes Place. We enjoyed a hearty breakfast at Joe's. Diner-style cooking, in a homestyle setting, as if going to visit a favorite grandparent. The interior felt very comfortable and homely, and had lots of military decor throughout. I opted for my standard chicken fried steak and eggs, with hash browns and biscuits and gravy. It was hearty, filling, and delicious. My wife got the chilaquiles. She loved it. Her tortillas were crispy, her dish well-season, and she was very pleasantly surprised by the refried beans (which apparently isn't standard for other restaurants). Our server was friendly, the portions were large, the food came quickly, and the prices were reasonable. Definitely a great place to stop in for breakfast. read more

I had breakfast here recently. The place was busy even though it was on the earlier side but I only waited about 10 minutes for a table. The older waitresses are a bunch of characters. One was definitely not have a good day but she was not my waitress. Mine was fine, as well as the other staff would all seemed to be helping out. I had the half order of biscuits and gravy with a side of bacon. Both were huge portions. The biscuits and gravy were very tasting. Nice flavor, bits of sausage throughout. Flavorful biscuit. The bacon was crisp and tasty. Overall a really nice hearty breakfast. I good local's spot. read more

We stayed in town for a couple of nights. Asked our waitress at our hotel for a good breakfast spot. She was right on in recommending Joe's place! Plenty of free parking. Cute converted house with classic decorations that's you would expect to find in a small yummy cafe. My husband lived his chile verde eggs - homemade and fresh. My omelette so delicious, the salsa was great. The waitress was funny and nice. Full of locals. read more

My kinda place! First, the food was top shelf! Then the vibe and atmosphere was exactly what I love, rustic, Americana and down-home! The service was just as good as the food, very attentive and accommodating. The owner himself even came to the table to chat with us and see how we were liking everything. Turned out we had a couple things in common, so he sat and chatted with us a while, but not in any imposing way at all. The whole experience was ideal and will definitely make it a regular stop every time we're in town! read more

While I have not yet been back, I keep going over my original review in my head. So, In retrospect, rather than delete the original and rewrite the review, I will say this; I should have deducted 2-stars for the neoprene steak. Again, these three stars are ONLY for the steak. This way, they keep the original 5-stars, as all the positives I reported were accurate, and readers who decide to give this place a try know well enough to stay away from the steak. There. Now I feel better. read more

Loved Joes but after trying to place a phone call order waitress was rude and snippy. Ended up not finished the order and went elsewhere.

First time customer from out of town.... Husband's pancakes were raw and his scrambled eggs had egg shells in them. My ham and eggs were dry and the cook didn't know what "over easy eggs" was because my egg yolks were completely cooked. Honestly for us, the service was mediocre and place was a little dated but at least clean. We were very disappointed because of all the hype! read more

Looking for a hearty and filling breakfast in Paso? Look no further. Joe's has that traditional diner feel and menu, while also throwing in some other fun breakfast/brunch favorites. We came to joes for breakfast on New Year's Day and those hefty portions were exactly what we needed to fill our bellies post full day of drinking. We got the Chilaquiles supreme and the bergin (biscuits and gravy) to share. Portions were HUGE, and we ended up leaving quite a bit of it behind. We also left a bit of our energy behind as those were heavy meals. Service was super friendly and food came up quick. Food was also pretty flavorful. Loved the crispy hashbrowns and sausage patty that came with the bergin. read more

Joe's Place is one of those classic restaurants that makes you feel like you stepped back in time. The whole dining experience and atmosphere makes you feel like you're eating at someone's house. It has a cozy feeling and a little bit of country vibes going on. We made the mistake of coming here on a busy holiday weekend, but we only waited about 20 minutes. The ladies that work here were hustling and bustling to crank out orders, wait on customers and ring up the checks. Clearly these ladies know what they're doing to get the customers in and out; all while maintaining a friendly and positive attitude. Bravo to them! The majority of customers here were Veteran's, and an older clientele. They have a lot of pictures on the wall dedicated to people who served in the military, but unfortunately, they do not offer discounts for military. I found that kind of odd, given that they pay tribute to them. Ok, on to the food! I decided to order the Monterey Omelet, which was filled with Ortega Chile's, onion, jack cheese, and covered in a ranchero sauce. The omelet was much bigger than expected, but no complaints about that since I had left-overs. The sauce reminded me of El Paso picante sauce. It was flavorful, and kept me full all day. The hash browns were golden and crispy; which is just how I like them, but I think the oil they used was either old or a very cheap oil. The taste was a little off for me, but nonetheless they were edible. I really liked the thick wheat toast they served here. My pet peeve is when you order toast and it barely has any butter on it. The toast served here had an ample amount of butter; which is just how I like it. My friend ordered the chile verde omelet and really enjoyed it. I tried a bite, but the pork flavor was a little funky for me in taste. The chilaquiles are Americanized here, and the cheese wasn't melted as you can see in my picture, but my friend said they weren't bad and he also enjoyed his meal. Overall, this restaurant served its purpose for starting off our day with a hearty meal and great tasting coffee. I appreciate the friendly service we had while dining here. read more

After a weekend of indulgent eating, I needed breakfast that didn't make me feel bloated. Joe's place had just what I needed. The restaurant was clean and the waitress was friendly. When we arrived, it was not too crowded, but it filled up quickly. We were served water and coffee almost immediately upon sitting. We placed our order and we served in just a few minutes. Hubby had the full plate of biscuits and gravy. The gravy wasn't hot and normally there is sausage in it. It was pretty nondescript. I had the plain oatmeal. It could have been cooked longer. The oats were not soft. read more
