    Sandwich and strawberry milkshake
    Cassy S.

    Cute little store ran by what looks to be a local family. Two ladies greets us as we entered. The store has drinks, food, local items, clothes, and homemade food items ( some sandwiches prepared that morning and some made to order). As we looked at the menu the women behind the counter gave us a run down of the menu. She also let us know what were the top sellers and let us know what to do if we wanted a specialty item made. She also let us know that everything is homemade and local. We ordered some sandwiches and shakes. I ordered an already made sandwich and strawberry shake. The shakes were delicious and so were the sandwiches. I can definitely see these as great grab and go items for lunch.

    Wanted to give Creston House a shot. On the 229, next to the post office. The front looks like a little old home. Bench seating outside and when you enter, they have a sun room with 2 tables. Then you enter the store with some local, wine cheese, meats, snacks. They also have some general store type stuff. When we made our way to the counter with the menu, we were greeted by two women. They were very nice and helpful. Since it was our first time, they walked us through it all. They had sandwiches, premade in glass, from that day, for grab and go. They also do coffees, milkshakes, and molts and pizza. I picked TURKEY CAPRESE BAGUETTE. Turkey, Tomato, Fresh Mozzarella, Pesto, Aged Balsamic and toasted it. The ingredients were very good. The pesto had a deep earthy freshness and the aged balsamic soaked halfway into the bread and delivered that bitter, yet sweet cut through the moist turkey breast. The s'more cookie was told to me that a woman in Atascadero makes them every morning. They were very good and moist, sold. The Peanut Butter Malt was made with hand scooped ice cream, real peanut butter and 2 scoops of dry malt. Silky, thick, creamy Peanut Butter Heaven. Awesome little stop. I'm intrigued by the pizza. *My problem with this place is it's pretty steep for the size of the sandwiches. Almost gave it a 3/5, but the ingredients are good and the two women delivered great customer service.*

    Loading Chute has been on our list since our last visit to Paso from many recommendations from…read morelocals. Definitely worth the 20-30 minute drive. Ride share will be hard to get for pick up so I'd recommended driving yourself. The staff were friendly and very large inside and beautiful outside area. Unfortunately no pictures! We had a clam chowder, order of ribs, and took advantage of the 20 oz bone in ribeye special! It was a lot of food!! Everything was cooked to perfection, large portions, fresh, and delicious! So happy to finally try and cannot wait to go back during our annual trip! Must try!

    Back again May 24, 2026. Celebrating 3 family birthdays. Reservation for 6 people. Our table was…read morewaiting as requested on the patio and had been set up for service. The good. We had a great new waiter who was a young g male with dark hair, tall thin and had the popular "Lama" young men's hair style. He was very accommodating as I laid out my requests. Based on past errors from the female waiters I knew what I needed to specifically ask for. As usual they were understaffed. I feel so bad for the staff here. Management shorts staffing to boost profits. It makes dining here stressful and definitely not a relaxed dining experience. Staff other best but they almost literally have to run to keep up with demand Usually there's no busboy either or maybe 1 for inside and out. Dishes always pile up More bad. Don't ever order the prime rib if it's not Saturday. We think my daughter's was cooked on Saturday, served at full price on Sunday but leftovers and was dry and tough. It's costly too. She discovers it back this time as she didn't want to wait another hour for something else. The salads are usually great but this evening they were half salads. Like they ran short and skimped on each one. Onion rings are always good. I dip mine in their salsa. Others catsup or ranch. The ribs were not good -- 2 full racks. The meat was very tough like eating dry pork chops not tender and good. My friend happened to be having her husband's 75th birthday party there toward the end of our meal they showed up. An extra table for about 12 had been added on the grass area at the end of outside the patio. With folding metal chairs. They did NOT staff for the extra seating and my friend texted me after we left that they waited a full HOUR to even get waters!! This is not acceptable. I don't feel that anything will improve until some time that this restaurant is sold and has new management. I just wish that someone would open another steakhouse in North County and provide good service. Apparently we will never see adequate staffing at Loading Chute. So until there's another option we keep coming back. I miss McClintocks in downtown Paso. Finally one last note. I'm a sparkling wine drinker and I love the Wycliffe Sparkling they serve. It's not dry and so delicious. Just perfect and inexpensive too. Win win.

It's one of the very best I've had in all of SLO county hands down. There's something special/unique about heading out on the highway 41 east to Creston and LB Saloon in particular. When you pull into the few block radius that is Creston it's always a fun feeling. They've got a great outdoor patio with live music, a throwback feeling interior/bar, and an unassuming character to the establishment that's awesome. We really appreciate our visits out here and the high quality of the food, beverages, live music, and a friendly staff.

We came upon the intersection that Longbranch sits at and decided to check it out. Glad we did. We split the Smoked Pork Cuban Sandwich with fries and a pint of their rotating beer on tap. The sandwich was so good! Had a little zing at the end of each bite from the banana peppers included on the bottom. We both loved it. The beer was a Mosaic Pale Ale from a local SLO brewery called "There doesn't exist" We sat outside in their patio section, the weather was perfect. We learned our 3:30p Sunday arrival meant that we missed the live music they have on Sundays from noon-3pm. Bummer Service was quick and friendly. Would definitely return if it was along the path of our future travels.
