Halfway Station 15050 Morro Rd, Atascadero American • $$
15050 Morro Rd, Atascadero

“One of the best places on the Central Coast. This hidden gem is on the 41, between Downtown Atown and Morro Bay. This renovated garage/barn turn modern ranch chic is the home to a fresh/natural/modern culinary experience. Once you enter you are greeted and have menu's on a little table at the door. When you're ready, you go up and order. I ordered the Rock Burger (Beyond Meat and no Bacon), comes with fries, the Bahn Mi Tots and Beer Battered Onion Rings. The Rock Burger is what you want. Beautiful fluffy Brioche bun from Back Porch Bakery, Central coast creamery blue cheese bringing the funk/creamy/saltness to cut through the burger, the caramelized onions for sweetness, the fresh mixed greens for that earthy bite, and whole grain mustard sauce for a little more acidity. The fries are done to salty, crispy, yet soft inside perfection. The Beer battered onion rings are served the a beautiful house made ranch and bbq sauce. Cooked perfect, just wish there was more. And the Star of the show, Bahn Mi Tots. The mix of tots, fresh vegetables, creamy sauce, soft meets crunch, vinegar balanced by fatty creaminess of the sauce, gives you full Umami! Just an awesome concept, that works to the fullest! The power went out while we were there with our friends from out of town and instead of kicking us out, they brought over candles (which was made by someone dinning in at the time) and asked if we needed anything. This is truly a first class operation and am honored to say they are in my own backyard. We've introduced many to them and we'll introduce many more.*What happened to the CHEESE CURDS?*”

“They always have the best selection of IPAs and Seltzers. Their Seltzers are out of this world. I have not tried a flavor I haven't liked. Tonight we had the POG and Creamsicle. POg is now one of my tops. Their Beer list is also really impressive. We always find a great IPA to sip on. Always a good tune going and a great vibe. We bring our cards everywhere we go and this is a great place to play a few hands and sip amazing brews.”

Barley and Boar - Restaurant • Brewhouse • Distillery 5925 Entrada Ave, Atascadero Pubs • $$$
5925 Entrada Ave, Atascadero

“I've been to my fair share of fine dining establishments, but this place left me speechless. Initially I made a reservation, based on their current menu and when I discovered what I was craving dropped off, they made special effort to get it for me off menu. From the moment I walked in, the front of house to back, knew who I was and what I came for. I was on a mission. Couldn't have felt more welcome. A seat at the chef bar, provided for ample interaction with the head chef and opportunity to pick up cooking tips I could leave with. Food was outstanding! The amouse bouche for that evening were oysters on half shell, and given the presentation and obvious professionalism displayed by all, my wife gave it a chance at her first raw oyster in her young 50 years on this planet. She's now a believer.....so long as I can find a comparable establishment to this. Pro tip....if you ever have the opportunity to try Iberico pork (I call it the nutty swine from abroad), you best be sure to get it. Better than beef, and I'll die on that hill. Wish I had gotten pic of dessert, but I was already coma bound. For me personally, it was most satisfying to see my home town and currently vacation residence, significantly come up in the world culinarily. Actually proud! See you soon.....HB”

“Great Beer & Great Community Space - Two years ago I wanted to have a Christmas Party but not at my house. I reached out to Wild Fields because we had been there several times over the previous several years and had alwasy found the beer good, the food easy, and the space friendly. They worked with me to host our party, plan for the food and drink for everybody and even gave us a great space in the back. Between that and folks buzzing out and back frequently to go bowling or play other games (we brought a bucket of quarters for everyone) it was a great evening and I nice change-up from having it at our house. Fun Night!”

“Ordered a Chile relleno a la carte, good value for the price. Best Chile relleno I have ever had, hands down. It had lots of cheese, the batter was flavorful and the sauce was excellent. Also ordered two cheese enchilada combo to go. Nice big portion. The beans were delicious, rice was light and fluffy, enchiladas were amazing. The chips however were stale.. I'm sure the chips are fresh during the day. I did go late, 30 mins before closing. The restaurant was empty and there was no music playing. The decor is a little plain. Nice comfy booths with plenty of room for a big guy. My Modelo cheladas were very good as well. I'll definitely be back and recommend the Chile relleno to anyone who will listen.”

“I was traveling from Santa Clarita up the 101 to meet some Amateur radio friends for a breakfast in Atascadero the other day. The Country Touch Café was selected from Yelp reviews and the meal did not disappoint. There were four of us and everyone reported they enjoyed the good foodI ordered the Cowboy Omelet with hash browns and sourdough toast for $16.50. Folded into the middle was a large portion of Ham, Sausage, Bacon and melted American Cheese. The plate was then smothered with a thick Country Gravy. That was a 5 Star meal right there. One of my friends stated that he always orders the Chile Verde when he goes to a new place. That is the yardstick he measures them by. He gave this place 4.5 out of 5. 5 Stars for the food and a half point off for the toast being a bit late. Hey, he likes his toast...Still that small inconvenience was not enough to mar the experience. If in the neighborhood again I will go back again.”
