Don't fear the truck stop. The service is good, food didn't make me sick, the price was right and restaurant was not too full. Try the country fried steak or bacon avocado burger read more

Traveling south from San Jose & this was a great little cafe for a quick lunch before heDing into LA! The Ortega burger was great but messy. Fries aren't special! read more

Solid rest stop diner. Food was delicious. Service was good. We all enjoyed our food. Try the homemade chips.

Great food made from scratch ( had chkn fried steak and biscuit), everything was so delicious. The only things that could use improvement was the flies in the dining area and the ambience. Doesn't need to be fancy but maybe a little warmer decor would really make the place the perfect diner. Will def stop on the regular in the future. read more

This place was quite a pleasant surprise. My sweetie and I stopped off here for breakfast, not expecting much at all, since the restaurant is located at a small truck stop at the intersection of highway 101 and Wellsona Road in Paso Robles. We were expecting your typical greasy spoon truck stop food -- nothing terrible, but nothing all that great. Instead, we got eggs cooked perfectly. We enjoyed delicious bacon that was crispy, yet not overdone, and homemade sausage that was some of the best I have ever eaten. My sweetie's French toast was very good, and my huge pancakes were light and fluffy. They were so good they had almost a creamy texture and practically floated off my plate. The only small disappointment was they served orange juice out of a machine and the mix was a little off. A minor criticism, given how good every thing else was. The wait staff was pleasant and the bill not too high. We will stop here again the next time we are passing through at breakfast time. My overall rating: A- read more

Country fried steak was amazing. Great portions for a good price. It's right off the 101.

Tasty, unpretentious, reasonable prices, and convenient location right off 101 just north of Paso Robles. We all were pleased with our meals. I would definitely go back. read more

This place was packed on Memorial Day and the one waitress in the joint was holding it down. She was great, Jose's is typical diner food, in your typical diner environment in a truck stop but with a Mexican twist adding chile verde, enchiladas, and the likes thereof to the menu. We all had breakfast, and everyone loved their food. Even for being super busy the service was prompt and the food was hot. The homemade biscuits were on point and even though they forgot the cheese on my omelet-it was still tasty. I'm looking forward to trying to the biscuits and gravy and the club sandwich next time. read more

This is Verde haven, I am a chili Verde freak and Jose made some stuff I'm sure they are serving in heaven! Save it to Google Maps and when you get there the service is always with a smile and Jesus will be at the bar macking in the chili Verde omelette! read more

Good food, good service. Very popular among locals. I would definitely stop by again next time on my drive. Quick service if u r in rush. Omelets are big almost for two. read more

Jose's Country Kitchen - Very popular place. - American Near Me - Paso Robles, California

Although I'm sure the food would have been good watching the kitchen work was a mess. A lot of people's food came out cold and our order was completely wrong... We weren't the only ones. Maybe all the staff were new? Also one cup of coffee that was never refilled is also kinda bad. read more

Good, solid diner food. Breakfasts are especially good. The Southern Breakfast is a huge sausage patty sandwiched between two big biscuits with country gravy. It comes with 2 eggs cooked to order and is only $8.95. I can't finish it, and I'm no lightweight! Fave hangout for locals and truckers. read more

My family and I went to Jose's on Sunday. Let me tell you what... from the outside you wouldn't know it but this is THE best place in San Miguel/Paso area for food. My boyfriend had the southern breakfast and everything from the potatoes, onions, spices, eggs...perfection. My daughter's pancakes and eggs were so fluffy and delicious...she's a picky girl and she ate EVERYTHING. I had the Philly cheese steak sandwich...the best I've had since I moved here from the East coast. I will definitely be back this week. read more

Small "truck stop diner" with exceptional service and portions. There was one waitress for the whole diner and she was excellent (better than most places who only have a small section). I didn't even see her refill.my drink yet last night at a expensive dinner I had to track someone down to even get my drink. The portions are huge. My boyfriend and I both didn't finish our food. Everything was homemade & cooked perfectly. Best biscuits and gravy I've ever had. Definitely worth the trip. read more

This is a great little restaurant along the side of the 101. Very easy in and out, plenty of room to park the RV and toad. Prices are good and the food is wonderful! Waitress was very sweet and happy. Great find! read more

Excellent food! Enjoyed our enchiladas and BLT greatly. We will definitely becoming back .

The food was so good, the service was amazing! If you come here, you must try the French toast! We are definitely coming back!

Excellent service from the waitress Phyllis. Food was outstanding, great breakfast place. Large portions and very tasty! The place was very clean , highly recommended. read more

I've been coming to Jose's for a few years now and while the food is good straightforward fare, my drawing card is Phyllis, the lovely lady who waits on everyone with a smile and friendly greeting Wednesday, Friday and Saturday mornings. No matter how busy things might get and sometimes they really do, Phyllis always pays attention to her customers by giving us the best service possible. Food always tastes better when served by a classy lady like her. You're one of a kind, Phyllis, and thank you much! A Fan. read more

What a find! You would never know it was there, much less wander in. We stayed across the 101 at the Vines RV Park and the ladies there recommended it. Had breakfast a few days during our stay. Food was delicious and our waitress was fun! She's been around a while and knows her stuff! Great food, great service. If you are in the area, definitely stop in. We only had breakfast, but they also have luncha nd dinner. read more

If I could review this place and give it no stars I would. We walked in and sat down in the only clean table in the place. There were 2 people at a table and one person at the counter. The waitress did not even notice we walked in. She started cleaning the tables. We had to call out loudly for coffee. She was sweet and gave us our coffee. While we were having our coffee, we watched her go into the bathroom and pluck her eyebrows, wipe the sweat from under her armpits, put on lipstick and perfume. Then she proceeded to start handling food. Mind you not just any food, but food she made for herself and the eat it with her fingers. This girl without washing her hands one time went back into the bathroom to fiddle with herself again and then came back in plain view and started handling the food and dishes people were going to be served on. My husband went into the bathroom and said that they were not cleaned. That someone had defecated on the floor and it was not cleaned up. We decided to pay for the coffee and leave. I believe that was a smart decision. I suggest that no one eat there and that the Health Department needs to pay a visit. read more

It is only the best tunamelt in town because it is the only tunamelt in town and the worst we had ever had. It was fishy, greasy, and lacked any flavor of swiss cheese. My hisband and I both ordered it based on the reviews. We gave it 2 stars because the onion rings and fries wrre good but would suggest sticking to a burger. read more

Came here for breakfast and it was delicious! Staff was friendly and food arrived quick! Highly recommend.

This place SUCKS! The food was nothing less than dog meat, wait I wouldn't have even fed that to my dog. The service was just as bad as the food. My husband got chicken fried steak and I got the taco salad and both had no flavor, also got Teriyaki chicken and asked for no mushrooms and they put them on and then said they don't take things back. I wouldn't recommend this low grade dog meat to my worst enemy. Unfortunelty they are making me even put one star. read more

Make this your stop. It's clean and welcoming. It was where six of us cousins from various parts of California met for lunch before going to a memorial service in San Miguel last Saturday. Phyllis took great care of us. Food was delicious. Large portions. Two of us had taco salads, two of us had Cattlemen Sandwiches, one had a French Dip and one had a California Burger. The salads ordered with the Sandwiches and Burgers came in large bowls and the fries ordered with the French Dip over-flowed the plate. Homemade pies of chocolate, coconut and apple were tempting but we were too full. Next time. read more

Omg just ate food was bomb very good size serving, service is great the women attending was so sweet my omelette was full with bacon, ham, mushroom, & onions covered n gravy im FULL!!!! read more

Jose's Country Kitchen - Wanna eat good n get full eat here no regrets!!! - American Near Me - Paso Robles, California

Probably one of the best hidden gems I've discovered. Their steaks are amazing, servings are huge and everything tastes good.

Really good place to eat. It's a diner, and that's exactly what it is. The club sandwich is good and they put a Chile on a lot of the sandwiches, which is really good. Try the turkey melt. read more

Been taking the family here for breakfast for the last 4 years. Pretty delicious, but not quite as good as it was when we first started coming here. When we first became "regulars", Jose was still in the kitchen and would make our son Mickey Mouse shaped pancakes and chat with us while we were there. The wait staff was also awesome! while he was there, and even for a while after we hadn't seen him there. The new staff seems over-whelmed on the weekends. Understandable because it gets pretty damn busy. They could probably use an extra waiter/waitress on the weekend breakffast hours. The Grandma/Grand-daughter team that used to work weekends was awesome. We miss them! Also the portion sizes seem to be slowly shrinking over the last few years. It is still plenty of food, but it seems like the prices remain the same, while the plates become smaller. read more

You will see one star on this review, but believe me, it is a NEGATIVE one star, it's just that Yelp doesn't let you give a zero star or less. Came here from the RV park across highway 101 with my adult daughter to have a nice mother-daughter bfst to celebrate her college graduation. Arrived 10:15 AM on Memorial Day. Very busy, but to be expected on a holiday. We waited about 5 minutes to get someone's attention, studious avoidance of eye contact from any staff person. There was any empty table, and I noticed a woman's purse under the table. I asked the waitress, "Are these people gone?" She was so hostile I was taken aback--she said "It's busy in here, can't you see, I'll clear off the table when I have time." Should have been my clue to leave. I persevered and told her about the woman's purse under the table and she said "What do you want me to do about it?" I handed it to her and said hold it behind the counter, the owner may be thankful. She didn't seat us, went back to no eye contact, so we went out onto the eating deck where there was the only available table (there were 4 picnic tables, 2 with patrons, 2 loaded with dirty dishes). No one came out to serve us. Finally she came out and said "Are these your dirty dishes?" We said no, we were waiting to be waited on. She sullenly cleared the dishes, slamming them around, as if it was our fault they were on the table. Not a single word of conversation. We ordered sandwiches, she told us the french fryer was not working (it was now 10:45, half hour after we got there). We said OK, what can we have with the sandwiches, she gave us options, we ordered salads. OK let's try make this short. One hour after we ordered--mind you, we were there a long time before we got to order--, still no food, no refill on beverages, no contact at all from staff. My daughter went in and asked if our order was lost. Note, by now the restaurant was almost empty, the rush of patrons was long over. We waited longer. The sullen waitress was wiping down counters and tables inside' talking on her cell phone. She could see us plainly through the large windows. Still no one came to serve us. My daughter went in again, the waitress had now disappeared. Our sandwiches were up on the heating counter. 15 minutes later, still not served to us. My daughter went in again and asked for our sandwiches. They came on a large plate, pathetic little sandwiches (tuna melt and Philly cheesesteak), cold and greasy, very unappetizing.. No garnish, nothing, not even a pickle. Also, no salad as ordered. No napkins or utensils. Told waiter we needed utensils and our salads (it is now 1 1/2 hours since we arrived). Utensils arrived, no salads ever came. We ate the pathetic sandwiches because we were so hungry. No check came. Went to cash register, waitress couldn't find the check. Finally she found it,. I said "We got half our food, we will pay half the bill." Long drawn out negotiations with owner, finally they comped the salads and my daughter's soda. This place was pathetic and the food (?) was awful. You may say why was this review so negative, all the other reviews are so good. Probably because all the people who walked out in disgust after not being served (there were quite a few!) didn't want to waste any more of their time writing a review!!! read more

On the verge of finding a replacement breakfast restaurant that could rival Hoover's beef palace in templeton, I stumbled upon this Jewel in the rough.. The country fried steak and biscuits and gravy were awesome.. good service as well. If you miss the large delicious portions that were at Hoovers Beef Palace, look no further, I found it.. read more

My buddy and I were just passing by looking for a place to eat and we stopped at this one lone restaurant off the freeway. The service was excellent and the food was even better! We were seated the moment we walked in and were helped within moments. I would totally recommend this place to anyone in the area. I was telling my buddy I was actually upset that we didn't have a place like this near where I live. #excellent read more

Great country dinner with amazing service, good food, huge portions and attention to quality. Best breakfast biscuits and gravy I've had in a long time. read more

Super good breakfast food, portions were perfect for my fiend and I to split. We had the chile verde omelet!

Nice people and close to freeway for travelers. Sorry I cant give anymore stars. The al pastor tacos were dry. Flavor so so. Beans ok.

Wow, the food is absolutely fresh, prepared daily, great menu, nice, clean restaurant. Phyllis is the bomb! Don't call it a truck stop, cleanest bathroom in any restaurant along 101 freeway!!! read more

So good. Swung by based on other reviews and was not disappointed. A busy Friday night during the dinner rush. The waitress was on-point and the food (the Western burger and the tuna melt) was delicious. Milk shake is a great dessert option, but they have homemade pie and cookies, too. read more

Came here on a whim and couldn't have been more happy. Food was amazing (I recommend trying the breakfast sausage), and the service was great. I would definitely stop by here again. read more

Nondescript building next to San Pedro Car & Truck Stop. Well worth stopping. Hubby had Machaca and eggs (spicy) and I had Beef Enchiladas (slight bite) and eggs minus sour cream. Got back on the road with very happy stomachs. We would definitely come back should we ever be in the area again. read more
