    If you're anywhere near Paso Robles and you're looking for a great Breakfast Place you have to try Joe's. We had Breakfast Burritos and cinnamon rolls and they were delicious. The biscuits and gravy were massive. Get there early. There's usually a line.

    The service was superb. Despite a busy restaurant, our waitress was on the ball. My friend absolutely loved his chilaquiles, and the salsa brought back fond childhood memories for him. He said no restaurant has ever made salsa that good except them and the restaurant in that location prior to Joe's. The biscuits and gravy were under-seasoned, but otherwise good. I ordered my eggs over-medium and they came out closer to over-easy, but it wasn't a big deal. The pancakes were generous sized, and pretty good; not the absolute best, but definitely above average. Good coffee. We are certain to eat there again.

    Good Monterey Omelette, French toast is divine. Biscuits and gravy was good. Service was quick, felt a bit rushed Friend loved his chorizo and eggs. Beans are bland but ok. Over all good service and good food.

    This restaurant came highly recommended from our uber driver. I loved the atmosphere. Then the disappointment set in. They server was ok., this is something silly. The restaurant is named Joes, walking in you see all the USMC memorabilia. My son Joe is currently serving with USMC. I told our server and she just couldnt be bothered. I ordered the Huevos Rancheros it came out covered in cold generic salsa. The cheese didn't even melt. The beans were sour, so they probably really old. The biggest disappointment was the biscuits and gravy. It came out of kitchen luke warm. The gravy was like paste with absolutely no flavor. The biscuit was so dry it stuck to thr roof of my mouth. I will never return to this restaurant again.

    Aug 6 & 7 When they say this place is "The Best Breakfast In Town", they're not lying! While in Paso Robles, this is a must stop. We were looking for a good breakfast spot while on our anniversary vacation, and this place did not disappoint. The first morning I had the Chicken Fried Steak & Eggs with the Biscuit & Gravy, and the wife had the Hamburger Steak & Eggs. Simply amazing. It was SO good, we had to come back the next morning before heading home. The next day I had the Lorraine Omelette (& they don't skimp on the bacon!), and the wife had the French Toast. Again, amazing. The flavor was so good with everything we had. And the coffee was the best we've had at any breakfast place. Service was great, and all the waitresses were very friendly. For being a small place, it's very cozy and they move everyone pretty quickly. Would definitely come back next time we come through Paso Robles.

    Food was cooked perfectly. Loved the Chorizo and eggs. Our waitress was super and even helped us with information on our next stop on our road trip. Definitely worth a stop.

    I do not know why this place is so popular - it must be inertia? Like people think it’s good so people think it’s good? The food is extremely mediocre and the service was somewhat below average. The food reminded me of a Denny’s, which I always think of as a last resort kind of place, but maybe it’s me because Denny’s also does quite well. The best thing I can say is that we went early enough so we didn’t have to wait for a table. There are far better places to get a diner breakfast in Paso.

    This place was amazing! We came in and it was busy which is a good sign. They sat us within the time they quoted us for a wait. We sat down and Karen was our waitress. Shes a keeper! We loved her! We loved the atmosphere and the sassy waitresses. It was a great place to create a memory for our honey moon! Thank you!

    Great Breakfast and service. I decided to step out of my comfort zone and tried Chilaquiles Supreme. What a great find. Loved it. Everything our party ordered was extraordinary.

    I was thoroughly impressed with Paso Robles when I visited for the first time this weekend. It was places like Joe's place that left me with a good feeling. This is a no frills breakfast and brunch restaurant. It has the eclectic flair of eating in your grandmothers house with framed pictures from the 50's and 60's all over the walls. The wait staff is supposed to be known for being sassy to customers but they were incredibly nice. The food was delicious and the portions are huge so make sure you bring your appetite. We had the omelets and the home fries which were delicious. We also had the sourdough and cinnamon raisin toast which you can't go wrong with. The prices were affordable and the wait time was very quick. There are plenty of tables and a bar where the locals eat near the kitchen. You will hear several stories between staff and customers and they have a way of making you feel at home here. One of the many charming and worthwhile places to visit while in Paso Robles.

    Hanging around Paso Robles for the weekend? it's a must that you stop and have breakfast at Joe's. I had steak and eggs. My steak was cooked to perfection. This place is veteran friendly. Didn't have to wait long to be seated. The servers were very knowledgeable with the menu and friendly. Small but cozy! Clean bathrooms. The coffee's hot and the atmosphere is cool. My food was so good I forgot to take a pic and remember at the last bites 😬

  • 5/5 BadDadio 3 years ago on Google
    We went there on a busy Saturday morning. Once seated, the food and service was excellent.

  • 5/5 Gilbert B. 2 years ago on Google
    What a nice, down home breakfast I had here. I had a delicious plate of chicken fried steak and eggs. The staff was friendly with lots of holiday well wishes for all. Prices were reasonable with large portions. I will return here next time I am in town. I will provide photos next time.

    Clean, well staffed, good food, and reasonably priced. Enjoyed the view outside from our table and the restaurant itself was quite pretty and nicely decorated.

  • 5/5 Madeline C. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent experience. Truly a 5 star establishment. Friendly and attentive staff, food came out quickly and was DELICIOUS. (Get the sauce!!!) The only thing we didn’t like was the biscuits and gravy - it was just kinda bland on its own.

  • 5/5 Audias R. 3 years ago on Google
    The best place in town to eat breakfast. I took a friend to have breakfast, he said just like the place I eat in New York.

  • 5/5 Steve B. 2 years ago on Google
    Very good food served very fast. Went on Sunday about 12:30. Very crowded. Wait staff was friendly but you could tell exhaustion was setting in. The wait staff have been with Joe's a long time. It's a good group. Did I mention that the food is good? I'll go back.

    Always delicious, hometown great American feeling and atmosphere. You won't leave hungry, that's for sure! 😋🇺🇲

  • 5/5 Jessika R. 1 year ago on Google
    Stopped here for breakfast during a road trip and am definitely going to add it to the list of places to go when passing through Paso Robles. Food was great, portions were hearty, staff was extremely polite and accommodating, and the price was right for the experience! Decor is patriotic and pays tribute to American history, great start to a vacation!

  • 5/5 Tom A. 1 year ago on Google
    Best diner breakfast in town. It will be packed. You will probably wait 15 minutes. The food is worth it. Joe's Favorites are great additions to traditional American breakfast options. Service is fast and low touch.

  • 5/5 b.j. Van Q. 11 months ago on Google
    Old school diner feel. Very proud American owners. Food that reminded us of home. I will say, even for a big guy like myself, the full stack of pancakes was too much. Required a nap after. Great place to visit for a filling meal.

  • 5/5 Vince G. 10 months ago on Google
    Absolutely incredible food and portions. Very friendly staff! A must try!

  • 5/5 Mrs U. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food! We stopped in for breakfast while passing through town and we were very happy we did. The waitress was great and attentive. The atmosphere was like a small town diner where all the locals go. The food was served fast and was delicious!

  • 5/5 Hessian H. 11 months ago on Google
    I love a good diner and I LOVE how pro military and pro America this place is. Whenever I visit a new diner there's two breakfasts I really base the experience on, either eggs benedict or chicken fried steak. This time I tried the Chicken fried steak and the reason I feel this is a great way to get a sound opinion on a diner is because you have several elements. 1) Over easy eggs were prefect. 2) Hashbrowns were crispy but not over cooked or overly greasy and were a large portion. 3) The Chicken Fried Steak too wasn't greasy, it was cooked to perfection and had a wonderful savory flavor 4) Their white gravy was a 8.5/10 (And that to me is a HUGE compliment) because not all white gravy is the same and people can really mess it up. 5) English muffin (Round toast) was crispy but not burnt I will most definitely go back here again, service was kind and funny and the environment was just what you want from a diner and they had so many cool things to look at and they pay respect to our armed forces and our constitution. I will need to try the eggs benedict next time for sure! Great experience, great food.

    This place has a very cozy atmosphere, the decor was cute and the food came out quick. Food was amazing. I would also like to add that my friend forgot her coffee inside and the host went to our car to give it to us, that was absolutely very kind of her.

  • 5/5 Kathleen S. 6 months ago on Google
    It was very crowded on a Sunday morning, and for good reason. The food was absolutely delicious and the staff were friendly. I highly recommend Joe's for breakfast, particularly the beans served with the specialty dishes. I want to go back just for the beans. Maybe just try to come early since the parking situation is a little tight.

  • 5/5 Diana T. 7 months ago on Google
    Joe's place was good! The food was excellent and the service was nice. We had an older lady that had worked there awhile she was sweet. on her toes and very friendly . Made you feel at home. I would go back. It's a good place to go. Loved it.

    What a great place! Everything about it is wonderful. The staff are friendly and very attentive and efficient. The food is fantastic. The atmosphere is warm, fun, and unique. If I lived close by, I’d definitely dine here often.

  • 5/5 Amy P. 7 months ago on Google
    I've never been happier that the place I originally wanted to eat at was closed, leading me to find Joe's. I indulged in the homemade biscuits and gravy (I may have cried just a little, was so good). I took home several of the homemade cinnamon rolls for family, and shared one later that night: sweet perfection! Can't wait to drive 2 hours to go back to try the chilaquilies!

  • 5/5 Robert H. 3 years ago on Google

    First time trying Joe's Place, it was so good. The portions are a good size. I had the Chile Verde omelette, it was also delicious. It was not spicy. Good flavors. Staff is friendly.

  • 5/5 Rachael K. 3 years ago on Google
    We had a great experience stopping by for breakfast. Got the classic eggs, toast and hashbrowns and my boyfriend got the Denver omelette which actually made me jealous it looked so good! Really friendly staff & cozy atmosphere. A little wait for food but not long enough to complain. Outdoor seating is available also and very pretty.

  • 4/5 Michele T. 5 years ago on Google
    Good service, quick waitress, delicious food. Added side items easily and ordered to our liking. Hashbrowns are well cooked and buttery. The veggie omelet is full of zucchini, spinach, mushrooms, bell peppers and onions. Fresh food. Yummy. This place is small inside. Gets packed with people, a bit noisy. Looks like a converted home. Quite homey. Oh. Very decent coffee!

  • 5/5 Thip R. 4 years ago on Google
    Their omelette is cooked the way omelette supposed to be! I enjoyed every bites of it. Their pride is the ranchero sauce, which I think it's just okay. Tasted somewhat like from the jar. My husband liked their chorizo burrito. And their crispy bacon OMG looked yummy!!

  • 5/5 Bonnie B. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Jason C. 3 years ago on Google
    Service was fantastic from the greet to the seat to the food itself. The outdoor dining area was well kept and the servers working were HUSTLING. Eggs Benedict were a home run as well as the chilaquiles and biscuits and gravy.. Looking for a place for a great breakfast? Come. Stop looking around on Google reviews. Come here.Do it. Do it now
