    We always stop by if driving down via 101, it’s a must for us! The beer is always great (not a huge IPA fan, but we love sour and stout), and the food is decent, much better than usual bar food. The outdoor seating is also very nice too, highly recommend for everyone wants a food stop on their road trip!

    AMAZING FOOD!!! Love the food and atmosphere!! My favorite was the Mac n cheese it was delicious!! The wifi was horrible though, we couldn't order our food and had to get up and order where the bartender was. I wish they had waiters. The host and bartenders were nice though. The location was a ways from downtown where all the action was. Could be better but the food quickly made up for it!! Good

    Always love to visit the Taproom. Great food, staff and of course beer. I was a little disappointed that they didn’t have the Lager but the 805 is very good too. 🍻🍔🥨😋

    This is the second time we have been here. Our first experience was much better. Overall our party of eight rated it a four star with some hesitation. A server no longer takes your order, you have to scan QR code to download the menu. Half of our phone s could not scan the code and we had to ask for menus. We ordered our food on the app, paid and waited for our food. To order drinks we went to the bar to place our order. Our pretzel was taken to another table, passed around the customers to see who ordered it then the server brought it to us, we declined because it was originally delivered to the wrong table. The shrimp po boy was too spicy for me, the mac and cheese was cold, one had panko crumbs and the other did not. The individuals in our party that ordered hamburgers were very happy with their food. Beer options are great and saved the evening. Service was mediocre and you had to flag a server down to get napkins, sauces or water refills. Also, employees were sitting at the table next to us and other customers folding 805 shirts. We felt this should have been done away from customers. When in the area, we will revisit in hopes they have improved.

    Great tastings. Plan to do the tour if you have time. The tour about an hour and includes tastings which will pay for the cost of the tour. You may end up spending more money on the limited releases only available at the brewery.

    Had a great lunch here on our way to Cambria. Got seated right away and our lunch was delivered promptly. You can order at your table or at the bar. At the table you use a QR code to place and access the menu. I had the house burger and my wife had the shrimp poorboy sandwich. Both were tasty. My only gripe is that the use of cherry tomatoes is not a great idea. Maybe if they were cut in half. Tasty beer selection too. I bought a six pack to go.

    Ordering via an app is not my favorite even as a tech savvy millennial. When a server only brings your food and checks on you once we are expected to tip 20-25%? Hmm. The pretzel was fine, steak frites was good but I was so distracted swatting away all the flies I missed food photos. Not sure we would return.

    I ordered a beer flight and pretzel and dip. The ordering was different than I was used to. It was all using a scanned code. I guess after Covid, lots of places went to this format. I did enjoy the outdoor seating in the excellent weather.

    Rhe place was very clean and the beer, 805, phenomenal. Always a big fan. The ordering is very next level with you not being able to order from the "waiter" at all. So essentially you have to order through the QR code on the table. So the waiters are there to bring you your order once it's been processed through the QR system. The older crowd may be a little stumped by this. I found it relatively easy, but the learning curve is there to eat up some time. From entering the order to receiving it was fast. Even the meal came out lightning quick once the payment was processed. My smash burger was tasty, although salty. My dad's wings were good, according to him. It was Thursday and before the crows, so it was peaceful and quiet. A welcoming atmosphere and nice employees. On my way to destinations, I would stop by again. Also...parking is low right next to the building, you will need to park adjacent to the freeway.

    Moved from LA, been here about a year and I had to visit 805 now that my family came to visit. we love the beer so I guess that was THE MAIN REASON we went. Didn't disappoint! the staff was so friendly and knowledgeable! They had awesome recommendations for each one in our group of 6. I really enjoyed their michelada with the blood orange beer! I love the vibe, it's super chill, great place to eat some good food and drink some beer and enjoy the company your with. We had the rustica carne pizza, Banh Mi Sandwich with garlic fries, The Classics Beer Flight and potato fritters. We really liked the rustica pizza and Banh mi sandwich! Delicious. The fritters had to much oil for me and the garlic fries, eh, I've had better. But in our group we also got hot wings, and the bears burger. No complaints. Definitely gonna come back for the beer and rustica carne pizza!

    Firestone Walker in Paso Robles is a solid great brewery experience. Per their name, they have a great variety of beers on tap, a fantastic michelada, along with great food. Upon the suggestion of our waiter, I ordered the short rib tacos and they were phenomenal. My only complaint, there weren't enough of them... I literally had to stop myself from ordering a second portion. And if you like well done brussel sprouts, look no further because there's are on point. They were perfectly roasted and not greasy which is my biggest complaint when ordering brussel sprouts. Their burgers were decent but not anything extraordinary. I would definitely stick with the tacos. I am a huge porter and stout fan and sadly, I was not excited about their selection. When we were there they only had one stout on tap, So I went with a michelada instead which is not something I usually do when I'm at a brewery. I was really hoping they would have their Mocha Merlin back as a seasonal option. In my opinion, that was the best dark beer they ever made and it was the best stout option in the commercial market of microbreweries. So I'm officially starting the # BringBackMochaMerlin campaign!

    In between the wine tastings at the wineries we stopped here for a quick lunch , everything was delicious including the beer , service was quick and staff very friendly.

  • 5/5 Rebecca M. 1 year ago on Google
    Bartender and guests were friendly. Got to sample a few brews before making a final decision, and they were all tasty! Beyond burger option kept this vegetarian happy, and I even had a choice of getting 2 different pizzas that didn't have any meat on them either. I'm not used to actually having real options, so I'm grateful for this. The blueberry dessert is made with a delicious amount of butter too, mmmh 😋

    My visit to Firestone Walker Brewing, despite hearing great things about it, was nothing short of disappointing. The experience got off to a poor start as it took an excruciating 15 minutes for someone to seat us, with multiple workers walking past us without acknowledgment. Once seated, we found our table to be dirty. We placed our order using the QR code, and while the food arrived within 5 minutes, it wasn't anything to be excited about. The fries were stale, as if they had been sitting out for over 30 minutes, the burger wasn't fully cooked, and the pizza arrived unsliced. We immediately informed an employee about these issues, who assured us that replacements would be brought. However, 25 minutes later, she still hadn't returned, and it was clear she had been engaged in a conversation with the cook the entire time. Our frustration grew, and we sought assistance from another employee, only to encounter the same issue. Finally, a third employee stepped in and made sure our order was redone. Sadly, this experience was far from the best, and I can only give this review two stars because one employee, the bartender, made a commendable effort to rectify the situation and checked on us consistently. Overall, a one-star experience at Firestone Walker Brewing.

    After our tour, hubby and I decided to have dinner at the Taproom Restaurant. We were extremely satisfied with the food. We shared the appetizer shoet rib street tacos and the dish spicy chicken sandwich. These mouth watering dishes were absolutely delicious! We WILL return.

    The property is amazing. Wonderful to see the process. Many beers to choose from. Love the tap selection. Classic pub fare.

    Stopped in for a light bite. Pretzel and beer were good. Shrimp was pretty good too.

  • 4/5 Francis 1 year ago on Google
    This would have been 5 stars had they had real table service. We were not a fan of having to order at the counter and bringing our own drinks back to the table. If you order from your phone they will bring everything to you but not when ordering in person. We had the fish and chips which was actually really good and the fries were also good. For the other main we had the spicy Italian pizza which was really good. It was both a bit sweet and spicy and was a good size for the price. Also did a tasting flight of beer. I had the 805, Cal Poly Gold, 805 cerverza, CS Borange, and the Mind Haze. All them were ok but nothing too memorable except maybe the Borange which was pretty good. Overall we had a good dinner but if we were locals I doubt we would go back since we prefer table service restaurants and a bit quieter places. It was actually very loud inside.

    I love this brewery and taproom. It is a great family friendly restaurant. Good is delicious. I ordered the hot chicken sandwich and a beer that was a seasonal specialty. Very quick service and easy to order and enjoy yourself. I recommend having a designated driver or Lyft on hand.

    Funny how reviews show this to be less than 5 stars, we are full time RVers and base our stays on breweries, wineries and National Parks, around the US and Europe. You guys rocked the boat! This town was one of those in betweens but Firestone Walker tipped the scale. Forget the many wineries, it’s the FW beer that will make us return to this location. The GM, Amber answered all the many questions and was welcoming, super friendly and quick to recommend your next favorite brew! Great job, give that brewmaster a big(ger) raise, phenomenal job on the Something Stickee (says hubs) and the Westside Mall is my fave. We’re hooked!!! PS: the food was tasty, juicy, just enough kick to make you wanna come back for more!!!

  • 5/5 Kevin G. 1 year ago on Google
    Great restaurant that's part of the brewery. The food is absolutely outstanding, especially their Sunday Chef Special with the 805 braised beef. There is no table service so be prepared to order with your phone with a QR code or through order window. The staff are friendly and attentive.

  • 5/5 Amy R. 1 year ago on Google
    Stopped by for a late lunch with large group. We were seated and served quickly. The food was really good and the beer even better! Loved the tri tip sandwich here too!

  • 5/5 Kay L. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious food to go alongside all the Firestone beers. We ordered the hot honey fried chicken burger with bear fries (that taste like curly fries) and the fried fish tacos. Huge indoor dining area with bar area and two separate outdoor patios which is great for bringing your pup.

    My first experience to this taproom. Beer flights were worth the price. So many beers to choose from and great food menu from shareables to burgers to sides! Loved it.

  • 5/5 DANNY KidSuper L. 2 years ago on Google
    We joined the tour on this long weekend and it's definitely worth the price since you'll get to sample 4 different brews at the end. The brews were refreshing for sure We also had lunch at the restaurant and both the salad and the trip sandwich were delicious. Worth the stop on the road trip between NorCal and SoCal.

  • 5/5 Branden B. 2 years ago on Google
    Fresh food, not just bar food. Beer flights are just $2 for 3oz. Tasters. We had a blast here.
