    Bacon Cheddar Burger. A lot going on right there! Lots of flavor! Great burger!

    Talk about off of the beaten path with this restaurant! Great call to finally go to a place that has been less than an hour's drive from my house. First off, love the atmosphere of the restaurant. It definitely has a very unique atmosphere that is really appealing. It was raining the day of our visit so we chose to eat inside. We got our table right next to the fireplace. That was a nice touch. When you order your food, it's at the register when you walk in. You place your order there and they bring your food out to you. The burger and fries that my wife and I ordered were definitely made from scratch with fresh ingredients. You could tell. The burgers were cooked perfectly too. Lots of flavors with great seasoning on the patties. The bun itself was another great addition to a great meal. I wasn't the biggest fan of the Shakin' Fries but, they are not for everyone. The staff was super friendly and helpful too. I have zero complaints about them. Good crew working there! I definitely will be going back to eat there again. Want to try the Rib Eye steak! Nothing like cooking over oak wood to get the best flavors in your meats!

    Food here exceeded my expectations! I know many rave about this place especially the locals but the food is phenomenal. I ordered a burger and it was the best beef patty I've had in the central coast! The service was also great, we ordered at the counter and just waited for our food which came out pretty fast despite how busy it was. The decor is very neat, western yet modern. The drive there is also very calm and just overall a great little spot to go grab some fresh locally source meal!

    Are you looking for an amazing, off the beaten path place to have an out of this world burger and the best chili ever? Absolutely worth the ride to this glorious oasis near the San Andreas fault! Grab a menu, order at the front cash register with an attentive, knowledgeable cashier who is fast and to the point. The inside of the restaurant has saddle top bar stools and authentic appearing decor. The outside is full of cool stuff to explore and a great seating area. Everything about this place is amazing!

    An incredible find at the end of a very strenuous 25 mile bicycle ride over from San Miguel. The cycling tour planned this on Thursday and after we arrived and ordered a whole lot more people showed up...I had their "award-winning" burger and it was wonderful! Unfortunately, I had to haul that lunch back over a steep climb back to the car. An outstanding find in this town of 18! No quakes when we were there, and they were very accommodating to cyclists.

    Such a fun place to visit. The steak sandwich and shakin fries are pretty amazing. Sitting outside while the kids climb over the giant treehouse was a perfect way to enjoy a meal.

    The bar with saddles for setting.

    Took visiting family members to Parkfield Cafe. Everyone enjoyed. Food was delicious. We decided to sit outside as it was a lovely day. Food was brought out for us. Of course, we spent some time inside just looking around. And the drive out and back was interesting. We included the fault line, of course. Just a memorable day.

    At Parkfield Cafe I had one of the very best burgers I've ever had in my life. Passing through town on a road trip, I stopped in for lunch on a Friday. The Bacon Cheddar Burger was exquisite. The meat has a fine flavor as it's been grilled over an open oak pit bbq, and it's juicy and cooked to perfection. The cheese is high quality and the bun has a little bit of crispness to it and holds the patty well. I also had an ice cream sundae that despite being a little plain was fresh and delicious. It's not just the food, though. The server was very kind and was a good sport to answer some questions from this out-of-towner. Parkfield is a unique place to say the least and the decor of the cafe is cowboy/girl-themed and fun. Because of COVID, dining inside was not an option, but they had benches set up on their lovely green lawn and I enjoyed the meal in shade with a wonderful warm breeze and the chirping of birds. Also look for the dog who seemed to belong to someone on the property.

    This place is a hidden gem! Recently renovated with rooms that can comfortably sleep up to 4 people. The fridge and coffee machine were unexpected and a wonderful addition! A great location for a weekend get-away or date. Unfortunately we were there when the cafe was closed (Dec. 6th through Jan 2nd every year and this is clearly labeled on the website), and I have heard the food is wonderful, so I will definitely be returning. A great little town to visit!

    Parkfield holds a special place in my heart... and stomach! Anyone that knows me, knows that I'm on the eternal hunt for the world's best cheeseburger. I've eaten all kinds of burgers in all kinds of places - oh the stories I have. But nothing comes close to the Parkfield Cafe's very own grass fed beef burgers. Maybe it's the adventure up the mountain or the windy roads. Maybe it's the gorgeous scenery or the fresh air - but life is just better up here, including the food. I recently brought the boyfriend up here to try what I had been touting as one of my top ten cheeseburgers. A few winery trips in the bag before and we were on our way to Parkfield for dinner. We arrived around 7pm on a Saturday evening and were about 1 of 3 other guests who chose this remote location as their dinner adventunture. We opted for a few beers (what else goes with burgers?!) to go with our Shakin Burgers *add bacon (of course!) Like most things in life, it was worth the wait. We enjoyed the scenery, the ambiance, and most of the all the people. It's not a place to stop for a quick bite (although they are efficient) but instead take a load off. Take in the sights, the sounds, and the people. It's all about the experience here. As for the burger? Still ranks in my top 5 of all time. Maybe even my top 2. The boyfriend agreed heartily this may be the best burger of all time. How can you argue with that?

    Are staff wearing masks as required by law now?

    My dad was there last week and said inside yes, outside no.

    How large is that Americans burger?

    All of our burgers have 1/3 pound patties. No one leaves Parkfield hungry!

    Funny thing is I found this shop by accident and I'm so glad I did. I was staying in Atascadero…read morelooking for a local coffee shop there and instead of hitting the one I thought was going to in my GPS, I accidentally hit Amstrdm instead. Even though it was a 15 minute drive up the freeway from where I was, it was worth every minute. The downtown area this shop is in was really cool, plenty of parking, and the moment you walked into this coffee shop you could tell it was going to be good. Lots of space, people sitting and having conversations, and a greeting from the Barista the second I walked through the door. I went with my standard iced oat milk latte with honey and a triple shot and it was perfect. I wish I could have drank it there because the inside of the shop seemed like a place you could hang out for a while. Unfortunately, I had to take it on the road, but that is a shop (if I lived in that area) I would drive out of my way to get to. Well done guys!

    We ordered a latte, a breakfast sandwich, and the chicken pesto sandwich. The latte was enjoyable,…read morethough it tasted more milk-forward than coffee-forward. To be fair, we did order a latte, so that is partly expected. The breakfast sandwich was good but a little underseasoned and could have used a bit more flavor overall. The chicken pesto sandwich was the standout. The pesto was well balanced and did not overpower the rest of the ingredients, which made the sandwich really pleasant to eat. Overall, everything was solid, though slightly pricey for the portion sizes. The food was good, but nothing especially memorable. Still, it is a nice stop if you are in the area.
