    Over easy eggs , sausage , hash browns huge portions
    Michael G.

    Food at Margie's is prepared just like at home the portions are large folks the pancakes are huge and fluffy. The eggs are huge and made perfectly. The meal was prepared quickly and served hot. Our waitress took our orders perfectly and made suggestions to ensure we got exactly what we wanted. The ambiance is a 50's vibe and the interior decorated to make you feel the 50's feeling simple and real good home style food. So when you're passing through on Hwy 46 and the 101 in Paso stop by and enjoy a delicious home style meal.

    Visiting Paso for an annual conference and drove by this place by chance. Glad I stopped in! Super friendly staff. Nice chill place to sit and dine. And the food is pretty good as well! The onion rings are a fan favorite and I can see why. They are also HUGE!

    Cobb salad. Chicken is always tender and delicious!

    Great food always! Portion size is always great. The service is always outstanding. It's a diner atmosphere. Always very clean. We enjoy eating here.

    Chilaquiles

    If you you are looking for plenty of good food for the prices these days, this is the place. I ordered the chef salad and half an order of onion rings. Salad was crisp and had a lot of ham and turkey. I could not eat it all. Half an order is 6 huge homemade onion rings, like an inch and a half thick. Batter in them was excellent. I was sad I could only eat 3. Hubby had chilaquiles with scrambled eggs. Again lots of food. Said it was good. Portions are big. Staff was friendly. We would definitely stop here again when in the area.

    I always wanted to have breakfast here. The outside is so cute and appealing as you get into town. The inside is retro-vintage, pretty darn cute with big windows. Coffee is good, smooth, doesn't have the bite of Starbucks, it's more bold and smooth, you can drink it black without making a face. The breakfast burrito is big. Cream of wheat is good but wish there were sliced almonds. The sourdough toast would have been better if it was toasted instead of slightly warmed. It took a long time to get our check, the servers' back was to the dining room for 10 minutes while she filled condiment bottles and waited for an order. Besides that she was a decent server, friendly. Overall, it was good.

    Margie's Diner is our go-to breakfast spot in Paso Robles. Every time we're in town, we make a point to eat here because it's always consistent and delicious also the ambiance is great. Service is fast and attentive, the menu has plenty of great options, and the fresh orange juice is a must. Parking is easy too, there's always space available. A great way to start the day.

    Always the go to place, you know's gonna be great. Never disappoints. Kinda like a security blanket. It's your comfort food place. The tartar sauce is dill. (As you know a must for me) their bleu cheese is not sweet another must! Last nights fish & chips was the kind you drive to Morro Bay for! & they greet you like they're happy to see you! Always & they are just as friendly throughout your entire stay! Not always that consistent at other places. Totally five star diner food ( breakfast for dinner kinda place!) so if you can't decide between Mexican or Chinese... remember Margie's! The food is great & the people are friendly.

    Chilaquiles with eggs over easy. Absolutely delicious! I would definitely recommend!
    Richard R.

    This is one of those hidden gems in Paso. And that is odd because this restaurant hides in plain sight! It's a great place to get breakfast, lunch or, dinner! You always get good service from the staff. They are always friendly and attentive to your needs. It definitely has a 70's to 80's diner vibe but that's a good thing. They make great food. That's the strong selling point for me. And, you can get breakfast all day long too! Try Margie's out. It is a great place!

    5 alarm & Denver omelets

    Margie's is a classic diner attached to a Best Western motel. The classic 60's architecture had us guessing that it used to be a Howard Johnson's back in the day. We had breakfast there 2 days. It was our favorite b'fast place in Paso Robles. The place is super clean, the staff was very friendly. the breakfast selections covered the entire range of breakfast options. Coffee cups were never allowed to get below half full. Our group of four sampled omelets, pancakes, and cinnamon rolls. Everything was tasty and hot. I'm surprised that the Yelp rating isn't nearly as high as the Google rating -- it should be. Maybe Yelpers are breakfast haters?

    I was leaving Paso Robles on a Sunday after a nice night at Justin winery and decided to get a nice breakfast. The concierge at the Allegretto recommended me go to Margie's Diner. It was an awesome breakfast from the service at the counter to the quality of food. It seemed like a family and team working together to make it a nice experience. I recommend anybody going there if in town. You won't be disappointed.

    Onion rings
    Sal H.

    I was really impressed with the decor and service received at Margie's diner. My wife and I ordered a side of onion rings and the chef salad. The portion sizes are huge. It was enough for both of us to eat and when we got our dessert, an apple pie with ice cream, we were already full but we still ate it LOL

    Chicken and waffles with a side of scrambled eggs.   Coca-Cola Patty Melt made on sourdough toast
    Fran S.

    Old school diner that is always delicious. Friendly service with a willingness to do whatever you want to ask for. Everything is always made from scratch which is what makes Margie's Diner so special!

The Good: ========= * Breakfasts: anything/all, large portions, and very good. * Burger/fries: solid.

The Not-so-good: =============== * Suffering after Marty, the host/manager left. He had a wonderful personality, and everyone loved him. Just not the same vibe, and frankly, it was a sucker punch to Spirit. * The menu is boring for lunch and dinner. Bring in some mexican, italian, persian, chinese -- something! It's just too Americana. Step it up. Mike, owner, please be more open to change.

I was curious as to how the burgers I ordered would taste as it was a tad pricey at $18.00. The meat is a combined hormone free ground chuck and brisket. Comes with homemade potato chips, nice and crispy. I especially enjoyed the flavors of the goat cheese and balsamic drizzle with carmelized onions, roasted red peppers; all topped with a nice and fresh bun with a basil glaze spread. My husband ordered the Prosecutor burger with substituted Swiss, with bacon and avocado. He downed it so I know his was good too. I really want to come back and try the salmon BLT on a brioche bun sandwich. I paired my burger with a lavender lemonade, for $5.00 very refreshing. Total bill plus tax came in at $50.00 plus a tip. This place is worth looking for just be ready to spend a few extra dollars for some very flavorful American fare.

The town was hosting live music at the plaza across the street so we sat outside facing the plaza. It was a great way to enjoy our meal! The place was pretty packed because of the World Cup going on (Mexico vs Korea) so I understand why our server was a bit slow. She was handling tables inside and outside but keep in mind when it gets busy you may wait a bit longer for things. I ordered "The Steak" which is a hangar steak with a compound butter on top and Brussels sprouts on the side, I subbed potatoes for coleslaw. The steak was cooked nicely and had a great crust on the outside, very flavorful with just the right amount of saltiness. The Brussels were some of the best I've had even though they were so simple. I ate every last one! The slaw was ok but not a ton of flavor, it was pretty light on the sauce. We also got an order of bacon wrapped jalapeños with cilantro ranch. They were so good! We destroyed them in seconds while burning our tongues on the lava-like cheese. Worth it!

    November 2025 Since…read moreI gave such a stellar review of the Bacon Crusted Burger at Street Side Ale House, I must update the comments since people do go to restaurants based on other's reviews. And I am so embarrassed to have recommended this restaurant to dozens of people. We raved to our friends about this place and this burger in particular. So, when we traveled with them to Paso Robles this week, we took them there on Thursday night. We passed on having the Wagyu 8 oz. burger and fries at In Bloom (Michelin listed) the night before in anticipation of this burger. Service was abysmal. We sat for quite some time with no service. My wife went in and asked where our server was? Finally, a woman showed up and said our waiter would be with us shortly. Sometime later, a friendly waiter arrived. He was obviously new, under-trained, and spread too thin. He was very personable, but our drinks sat on the bar for a long time and my wife had to go in and ask if she could take then. "No, the waiter will bring them out." Meanwhile, our friends were sipping on their drinks. We got our appetizers and then ordered our meals. The food came quickly, maybe too quickly, and I noticed no egg yolk oozing out (it was halved for us in the kitchen) and the burger overall was much thinner than the last time and the arugula was so wet under the patty. So, we ate a couple bites of it and it just did not taste right. I opened it up to find a baked or boiled grey patty with no crispy bacon wrapping. The bacon was soft, I mean boiled soft and was a small lump on top of the burger patty, not even close to crispy. More like a damp towel. The avocado was sliced but not spread out, so stuck on the left side. The egg was hard cooked with a solid yolk. No pepper to be found. I showed the waiter who was stunned. He thought we were kidding. The manger came out, looked at it, asked what we wanted to do. I was a bit surprised given the wreck that this burger was and said I don't know, what do you want to do? He said the chef wasn't there but took the plate back to the kitchen. He came back and said the chef (wait, he wasn't there) was surprised and said it was not right. The chef (if he was there) should have headed straight out to us and apologized. So, the manager took the burger off the bill but left the same horrible burger ($22) on our friend's bill. I should not have to tell a manager how to fix such a mess and disaster of a meal and service. I hope they fix their kitchen, whoever is checking food at the pass, and the service or they will be another casualty to the restaurant business in Paso. Sorry I had to write this as I rarely post negative reviews in order to not hurt a business and their employees.

One thing I've noticed, though, is that the food can be inconsistent, especially with takeout. I tend to order the same meals repeatedly, but they often taste different from one visit to the next. Sometimes they're excellent, and other times they're just okay. I wish there were more consistency because when the food is good, it's really good. My most recent visit was disappointing. I ordered the salmon salad, and for $21, I expected a larger, fresher salad. The portion felt small for the price. The salmon had a noticeably fishy taste, and the whole cherry tomatoes included one that was mushy inside, which made the salad difficult to enjoy. I do want to recognize the excellent service, though. After I mentioned that the salad seemed small, my server kindly brought me extra lettuce at no charge, which I really appreciated. That thoughtful gesture made a positive impression. Overall, I genuinely hope the restaurant can improve the consistency of its food because it has some standout menu items and great service. I'll definitely be back for the Argentinian tacos, and I'm hopeful that future visits will be more consistent.
