Wow! If I could only say one thing is WOW. I got the spicy chicken sandwich and it was served to me with care. The outside patio was well maintained and the weather was perfect for it. The cook was killer, there always was a worker tidying things up, and I was treated with a very friendly attitude from the staff. Huge shoutout to Sammie for making me feel like family every time I'm there. Please keep it up guys. P.S. the fries were the best. read more

The owner reached out stating it was not bacon but egg and asked me to remove the review. Note bacon pieces on side of photo. It is 100% bacon. I also had some in a bite I took, and it's bacon. Again, I like the restaurant but something happened here and as a vegetarian, I would want to know. Honestly just take responsibility, it happens. Take it as a lesson for your cooks, no big deal, but don't try to gaslight me into saying it's egg. Not egg. read more

Sidewalk Cafe - Salad Near Me - Arroyo Grande, California

Sidewalk Cafe is such a fitting name for this restaurant! There is a ramp if you have a stroller or wheelchair, or you can just use the steps to do a small climb up to the restaurant from the sidewalk. I've only ever had breakfast here and I'm never disappointed. This time I ordered the vegetarian breakfast burrito. They always halved them, which is so esthetically pleasing to me because they make clean cuts. They also have lunch entrees that sound very delicious. Along a wall is a cooler with craft beer and other drink options. I like that my voice slightly echoes in here when I sit inside. It almost makes me want to start singing, which I didn't. I'm sure there've been interesting conversations in here, but the staff minds their own business and diligently works. The cashiers here are always so friendly. read more

Came here twice and was impressed. We ordered the grilled chicken sandwich which I thought was very tasty. I would have rated it 5 stars if it had more veggies and if the bread had been more toasted. The second time, sandwich was still tasty though I didn't get the pickle that was supposed to come with it. Their fries were excellent, crispy and light and not oily. 5 stars for the fries. Side salad with balsamic vinegar dressing was also good. Looking forward to try their salads and other sandwiches. Highly recommend this establishment. read more

One of the most delicious breakfast burritos I have tried on the central coast. The salsa was bright and fresh while the contents of the burritos were nice and hot. Sometimes they can be on the dry side but it was not the case here! My husband enjoyed the seafood sandwich. The bread was nice and toasted. The customer service was excellent - very friendly and helpful staff. It was so nice and refreshing sitting outside with a wonderful view. We will be back! read more

Stopped by this little spot on the way back from a hike with the family. The wife ordered me a pastrami ruben (i am still the 805's pastrami king) so she knew what to get me. It was great, but not the best i ever had. More of a sauce and kraut sandwich. But the pastrami that was on there was very tender and tasty. The service was great, the outside seating was a little rickety. With 3 people at our table it was a little cramped and the table was not the most sturdy thing in the world, but we made it work. I think most people will enjoy eating here. The fries were delicious though. Easy 4 stars! read more

I ordered the walk around burrito and it didn't disappoint. Was so big I had to put half away for lunch. Cashier was very friendly even though he was training someone he made a point to acknowledge me and answer my questions. It was a beautiful day so of course I had to sit outside. Can be a little noisy at times with some loud cars going by but it was perfect weather type of day read more

I had a delicious grilled chicken sandwich from here (takeout). The food was SO GOOD. I especially loved the aioli and focaccia bread. Would recommend sharing a sandwich as the quantities as large. read more

Had lunch with friends, sat outside in the sunshine! The salmon salad was amazing! Service was friendly and they brought our food out to us. Great place to go for lunch, although they do have some breakfast options. Highly recommend! read more

Loved the food here, I got the breakfast burrito and French toast and they were both really good. I liked this cafe better than some of the bigger ones in the area, and I felt they had a lot of fresh veggies and fruit. The staff was also nice and there were a few indoor seats, but more outdoor seating available. read more

Sidewalk Cafe - Fireburger sooooo good - Salad Near Me - Arroyo Grande, California

Food isn't the healthiest but it's delicious for sure. It's quite expensive but at lesser you get good portion size. My favorite there is the breakfast muffin where the value is actually great for what you get so that's the only thing I order there and I think it's the best thing on the menu and keeps me coming back! I left 4 stars instead of 5 bc of how much oil they use and how unhealthy the menu is as well as the prices for the majority of the menu read more

The friendly service, delicious food quality, menu, and value all make the Sidewalk Cafe a spot we wish we had discovered sooner!

Great food and location. Owner is very sweet. Huge portions - come hungry! Nice outdoor seating area.

Food is fantastic! Nice patio to sit and enjoy the weather. Kind staff with good recommendations! read more

Great lunch spot for a nice stroll down Arroyo Grande. Chicken honey mustard wrap (8.5/10): good amount of chicken and fresh lettuce with a delicious honey mustard sauce! Very refreshing on a hot summer day! Hot pastrami NY sandwich (8/10): A solid pastrami sandwich with well seasoned pastrami and hefty portion of lettuce. Comes with fries. Can't go wrong with this! Went around lunchtime so food took a bit long to come out but the tables outside (w/ sun umbrellas) were perfect to people watch while waiting :) read more

Cute little place, they have a very large menu and a lot of different sandwiches to choose from. Not a lot of seating and it's right next to the street. A lot of people took their food to go. The sandwiches are very large. read more

Very tasty food! I had a difficult time choosing what to eat as the menu has a variety of options from salads and wraps to burgers and sandwiches. I finally decided to try the tri-tip sandwich with fries. It was sliced thin and juicy, almost like a roast beef sandwich (I thought it'd be good with au-jus to dip) and a sweet bar b que sauce. It also had a side of salsa. It was very tender and easy to eat. The fries seemed to almost have a batter on them as they were very crisp and seasoned well. I sat on the Patio as it was both a nice day and indoor seating is almost non-existent (hence the name Sidewalk Cafe). The Patio is cozy and utilizes umbrellas for shade. All of the servers and staff I encountered were friendly and helpful. I'll definitely be back read more

Still my favorite lunch place within 20 miles of AG. Love the patio. Great entertainment for kids and dogs. So many different things on the menu that everyone can be happy. Still a good value. Service is superb. What happened to the chickens pecking around. Good entertainment for grandkids. read more

Mediocre food at a hefty price. Village Italian the salami had a gamey/old taste that some cured meats have. Chipotle Chicken wrap was underwhelming Asian Chicken salad had too much cabbage and is missing something like tangerine or orange slices to round it out and needed more dressing. Ambiance and staff were nice though read more

Every time I drive through Arroyo Grande, I have to stop here for breakfast or lunch. My favorites are the Chorizo breakfast burrito and the Philly, but everything here is delicious. The owners are always working behind the counter and are the friendliest people you will ever meet. Their breakfast burrito and sandwich creations are out of this world. Do yourself a favor and stop by. You will not be disappointed. read more

Everything was 10/10 delicious! So glad we stopped in. We got the grilled chicken sandwich with fries, steak and egg breakfast burrito, and salmon salad. Fries are on point (important imo, crispy on the outside and flavorful), burrito extremely flavorful, salad refreshing. Everything tastes super fresh and made to order. Ambiance perfect sat outside in the beautiful weather, service great. read more

Very personal, worked with us for dietary needs and made 2 of the best salads we have had!

I've seen this cafe hundreds of times as I've driven through the village, but this was my first visit. They have good outdoor dining options which is what I was looking for. I ordered the tri-tip Cobb salad with Caesar dressing. Um....apparently it is a Caesar vinaigrette rather than a regular creamy Caesar. I added some ranch to give it a creamy texture. But the salad was amazing. Every bite of salad had a bite of tritip with it. And for me that's the key to a good salad that has meat in it. Loaded with bacon and cherry tomatoes too. Really enjoyed it. Their fries are some of the best we've ever had. My son said they're now his favorite. Tri-tip sandwich was loaded with tri-tip and worth the $12. Will come here again to try some of their other menu items too. read more

The portions here are always big, come hungry! We stopped in for lunch it was a beautiful day to sit out, good thing because no indoor seating here, fairly certain that's not just a "covid thing". We ordered a tri-tip hoagie "yum!" a chipotle chicken wrap "wish I had room for another." and a rueben with beer battered fries "I really like this place a lot, they have the best food and I love the fries here!"... #Facts 1. Sidewalk has the best fries in the area! 2. You'll never leave hungry after eating here! 3. Something flavorful for everyone! Posted photo from our visit before take a look and definitely give this place a try! read more

This is our go-to lunch spot for wraps. My favorite is the crispy chicken wrap. If you're looking for a breakfast burrito, this is the spot! The staff are always friendly and the service is quick. We love to sit outside in their outdoor seating area. I'd highly recommend this cafe! read more

The largest reason I come to this cafe over other lunch spots is that, as I stated above, I can essentially make two meals out of one. Since 2022, the portions have decreased, and understandably so, considering inflation. However, as that was the primary reason I went to the cafe, I don't see myself returning as much anymore. $16 for a salad is a lot, especially for a little neighborhood cafe. I'd still recommend the fries and I enjoy the soup, but just be aware that the portions mentioned before have severely decreased (probably by half or a bit less than half). read more

Love this place, all the items are really good and the folks are friendly, when people visit me from out of town we do lunch here

Great kid-friendly casual spot to grab lunch in the village. The staff is very friendly. I appreciated the fact that they have a ton of chalk out for kids to "decorate the sidewalk." I'm not sure if it's something I didn't notice when they first opened or a newer thing but such a nice gesture to indicate that families are welcome and keep the busy bodies occupied while their parents eat! Their portions are generous so consider that when ordering. Like others have said, I agree that they make really good crispy fries! read more

Just wanted to shout out Lucas for going above and beyond today! I placed an order online and didn't know curbside wasn't an option anymore. He graciously offered to run it out to my car. There a slight mix up in the order but he handled it quickly. I'm not from the area but the food and service keeps me coming back whenever I'm passing thru. read more

Was a little disappointed with sidewalk cafes Chipotle Chicken Wrap. Majority of the wrap was shredded lettuce with plenty of sauce to disguise the lack of other ingredients. The service and outside patio were great, but the food took away from the overall experience. read more

I got done with an appointment in AG, and it was lunchtime, so I did what I usually do in these situations... See what yelp suggests! Sure enough, another winner. It was just me, so unfortunately I can't speak to a very wide variety of menu items. The deal here is you walk up to the counter, order your food, pay and give them your name, and then go sit on the outside patio... They'll bring your order to you when it's ready. Clearly, that's where the name sidewalk café comes from. There are tons of chalk drawings all over the sidewalk outside, evidence that this is a kid friendly place too. It was cool. They had a Reuben sandwich on the menu, and I remembered reading in a couple of reviews that those were good, so I went for it. It's different than what you'd find in a New York deli, but it was really good! More sauce than I'm used to, but great flavors. The pickle spear was a nice deli touch. And the fries were actually hot! Not heat lamp hot, but out of the fryer hot. Thank you for that. I'm not in this area all that often, but I would absolutely stop in here for lunch next time I am. Good food, pleasant staff, reasonable prices... These folks check all the boxes. You should check them out! read more
