This is a family owned and operated restaurant where everyone takes pride in the food served by friendly and helpful servers. We had a choice of breakfast or lunch, I tried the chorizo quesidilla, it was delicious and the coffee was freshly brewed. We will be back soon to try another menu choice.

Great food and service. I really loved this family owned restaurant. I live in SLO and I wish I had found it years ago but I will be back now that I know about it!

I have been going to mayors place for years, very cute mom and pop restaurant. It always had great service and the food would always hit the spot. I haven’t been back for a year and unfortunately, the food was not up to par. I got the 2 egg breakfast plate with pancakes and the pancakes were doughy and raw . I was with my good friend and she got the linguica plate. She got some cut up potatoes on her plate and they were really dry and tasted burnt. Linguica could have been grilled and not just warmed up. I asked for a blueberry muffin to go and the server gave it to me frozen and in a bag; which I had to ask for it to be warmed up with butter. The service itself was not good. I remember it being amazing. I hope this review helps to give some feedback to the owners so changes can be made. Unfortunately, we left unsatisfied with our meal.

Good food at reasonable pricing considering things nowadays. Sunday special $9.50 for bacon or sausage with two eggs, and two pancakes, and a cup of coffee. Great staff with great service.. only three booths inside so get here early. Outdoor dining, pet friendly.

I will start by saying the food here is good. We got the chicken fried steak because I've been craving it all week long and I heard good things about the food. However, we won't be back because the experience was pretty bad. We arrived at 10 on a Sunday and were sat in like 10 mins but or orders weren't taken for like 20 min and our food did not arrive until 1135. No one checked on us or even really looked at us. Two tables were sat, fed and paid by the time our food arrived. After an hour we were over it and really just wanted to leave but we did wait for the food because it is a small business and I didn't want them to have to waste anything that was being cooked.

Not what I was hoping for potatoes over spicy eggs dry. My side after I finished eating
Very good food, generous quantities, delicious, with attentive service. We were from out of town, but the restaurant feels cozy, where everyone knows everyone else. The patio is great. It felt like a family run place. It was a fully relaxing experience.

Not great. Breakfast burritos for both of us, and they weren't very good. A lot of processed cheese, not a lot of egg, and the potatoes were hard and undercooked. The chorizo was oddly hard/chewy.The fries were stale/dry-ish and there weren't many of them.Others who got the biscuits and gravy and omelettes seemed to enjoy their meals. If we return definitely not getting a breakfast burrito and will get an omelet and biscuits/gravy instead.The tip thing defaults to 20% when checking out. For 2 breakfast burritos and a side of fries, total was $46.11 including tip.Dori was nice.

Best Biscuits & Gravy anywhere, you'll drive a long way trying to find better, and end up back here. Gina and her family (staff) will make you feel like you are part of the family as well. Always look forward to going there, been 12 years being my favorite spot, but sadly since I was forced to retire due to injuries I cannot eat there daily any longer, Social Security doesn't allow for that. I can't put into words how great this place is and I wish Gina and crew the Best life has! Thank You for bringing such loving warmth to Nipomo......and the greatest B&G. Love ya all!

Absolutely horrible! I've been going here for years and will never go back after the way we were treated today. SUPER Rude staff, no service, filthy table, foul language and zero respect for a paying customer who only asked that the table be wiped down. They barked at us to have a seat at the only vacant spot inside at a 2 top...no menus - just sit there. Because my friend saw place settings on the table and we were directed there, we assumed the table they had directed us to was clean. Instead, my friend was seated in a puddle of milk that got all over her clothing. We were not rude, not even a little bit, and asked the wait staff to wipe the table down - that's when we realized there was a puddle of milk on the floor too. We asked if she could get that too because now my friend's leather purse, which had no place else to go, was soaked with milk. Her answer? She wiped the table down with a nasty rag - and then tossed that rag on top of the puddle on the floor and said "I'll get that later." She then proceeded to spray some chemicals from a bottle all over the table (AFTER she wiped it down) and all over the two place settings before I could get them out of her way. When I handed them to her and asked for clean silverware she stomped off and threw both settings into the dish bin as hard as she could mumbling under her breath. We looked at each other and decided if that's how they clean their tables, we weren't willing to risk eating their food and got up to leave. I had ordered an iced tea and took one sip, so I stopped at the register to pay for it when the manager (who had her back to me) told the rude waitress "if they don't like how we wipe stuff down they can go F#@k themselves!" I cleared my throat and she just about pooped herself when she realized she was talking trash and I was right there...she stomped off and the waitress said "WHAT?!?!" I told her we were going to go someplace else and I wanted to pay for my tea....her response? "Just get the hell out of here!" Now I might be able to see if we were rude or something, but we were in a great mood when we arrived and it took these two about 20 minutes to ruin that with their nasty attitudes. So much for turning my lifelong central coast friend who had never enjoyed what The Mayor's Place USED to be - all I said that was negative was the truth - "I guess it's true what they're saying about the new management" and she LOST IT and started screaming at me front he patio....truth hurts I guess...but we won't be back, that's for sure.

Great food and service! Friendly staff. This is down-home, made from scratch cooking. Very unique place with its own style. Not corporate fast food.
