My husband is a huge fan of Chicken Fried Steak and he said this was the best he has ever had today. Savy and Jesus were our servers and kept the coffee flowing. I had the 2+2 breakfast and the pancakes were super puffy and delicious! The decor is old school western with photos and tools. This is our new SLO breakfast spot for sure! Bonus:Easy on and off Hwy 101 and clean bathrooms.

Finally found a great breakfast place around here, we all got the specials of the day I tried all 3 , Chile Verde omelette, seafood omelette and eggs Benny, oh and biscuits and gravy , everything was great and I'm a judgemental eater , I love food and really have a hard time finding great food around here, I live in Morro bay and we don't have any Amazing Breakfast places here, so I from now on will be going here for breakfast , Ohhh and our server SAVY she was outstanding, I loved her, she did a great job , so Overall experience was great except that damn front door needs to be fixed it's heavy as hell or broken , lol but loved the pitcher of mimosas

NO more Cowgirl Cafe for me! The Fish & Chips were inedible. Something VERY wrong with the taste of the fish. It was mushy unlike fish should be. The chips were stale! My body rejected the few bites I ate before I even got home. I'll never go back again. Yikes! Lousy coffee too. Such a $15.00 waste of my money. Fish & Chip lovers BEWARE!

Ordered the country patty sausage and eggs, and my wife ordered the ham and cheese omelette. They have “real” hash browns here that are shredded potato that are cooked on the grill to be made crispy.Excellent service !

Great food, great service. I had the Chile verde and it was delicious. The server was versed in the menu and was able to provide suggestions that made our food experience very enjoyable.

Good old school breakfast with some specials on the weekend, we will be back again! The decor shows some good history of SLO as well.

Excellent. Good value. Best breakfast. Done in or take out. Senior breakfast is outstanding
Great service, great food and fun atmosphere! Our waitress was extremely attentive, as were the assistant help. We never ran low on coffee or water. The food came out fast and was steaming hot. Thanks for a great breakfast this morning ☺️

Great spot! Easy to get to and away from the main Boulevard. Great coffee and delicious food. Wasn't a fan of their biscuits and gravy or pancakes but their other breakfast dishes were on point. Mom enjoyed every bite. Friendly and fast service. Lots of college students. Top notch.

The short of it is that Cowgirl Cafe is a great diner where the food is honest, the coffee is good, there's always an open seat and you're welcomed like family. The service here is really outstanding. I've been to just about every place in SLO. If you're living here and have a thing for diners, GO HERE, you can thank me by tipping them well. If you're passing through and you just want an honest restaurant that's going to treat you right on the way to or from somewhere, do not hesitate to stop here, its literally just off the 101. IMPORTANT FUNNY NOTE: Sometimes the front door is hard to open because the kitchen vents create a vacuum, makes people think it's closed. If you're having trouble they will help you!!More details below (because the owners read this stuff too!).The name "Cowgirl Cafe" is a little misleading because you might conjure up images of line-dancing, loud country music, bar fights and peanut-shell covered floors. That's what kept me from trying this for so long, what a mistake on my part! There is no bar but the kitchen view counter seats feel like a bar. The decor is "western" but what it actually is (to me) is a very friendly but quiet place to grab some food that feels like a home away from home. A place I truly feel welcome. Always a lot of seating, and the chef is rumored to be coming from a high-end hotel hospitality background -- it shows. Seriously that club sandwich I get is outstanding! It represents what I miss most about the US when I travel outside of it: An honest, independently owned mid-range diner with great food that punches way above expectation, coffee that's exactly what you want (if you like diners), a kitchen you can see and people (I'm looking at you Kayla) who remember your name when you come back making you feel like you're a part of this community.This isn't a knock: In SLO I can find ultra-gourmet restaurants or chains that are pretending to be the same --but sometimes I just want to sit down at a counter, have a decent cup of joe and a sandwich. I want to support a locally owned business, not a similarly priced IHOP or Denny's and I definitely do not want fast food. I want to go to a place with people who care about what they do but I don't need the prefixed menu with optional wine-pairings. I just want a place I can walk into as I am and be accepted. I want a sandwich that my grandmother would make for me if she came back to life. That's Cowgirl Cafe.
