Fantastic food and the service was exceptional. 1st time there and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Service was quick and friendly and I was surprised how fast the food got to us. Prices are reasonable, not the cheapest but fairly priced compared to other places. I ordered the Mushroom burger and it was huge and delicious. Well definitely go again
Its a nice place. At the time we went, it was not busy. The service was great and the food is good. I had the tri-tip sandwich. The wife had a Ruben and it was loaded with meat. Our friend ordered the cold turkey and it too was loaded with truckey. Our server, Zack, was attentive and polite. Next time we are in town, well stop by.
Average food at best. Chicken Fried Steak was frozen, pre made and pretty tasteless. Ordered cherry pie and it was huge, but again not much flavor and 99 percent filling, very few cherries and crust was not very good.
Waited for someone to take my to go order, waitress Amanda said she would be able to take my order in a minute, ten minutes go by, she again said she would be able to take my order in a minute, another 15 minutes go by and nobody would take my order, so I went to Cowgirls Cafe. Walked in and imediately was asked if I was eating there or if it was a to go order, I said it was a to go order, a waiter took my order, and I received my order in the next 10 minutes. The service and food were great 👍
Ordered the country fried steak, it was very good, the gravy was nice and creamy. My son had the waffle combo, his waffle was perfectly cooked, delicious, a lite crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
Friendly staff throughout our experience. The food is consistently tasty. Typical diner fair. Pricing is reasonable. Cleanliness was on point. We enjoyed our meal.
Food was good, the carrot cake was absolutely delicious. Friendly service, not overly crowded but steady. Seemed popular with locals. Only issue I had was no one was wearing masks but since it isnt mandated in Atascadero very few wore masks any where.
This last time i came to the diner they made a small mistake and seated us after the kitchen was closed unknowingly. They were so incredibly sweet about it. They gave us a gift card and we came back the next day! For 30 dollars we got enough food for 2 meals! And it was great. (Please do yourself a favor and get onion rings and/or mozzarella sticks)
As someone who grew up in Atascadero I have been a loyal patron of this establishment for many years. These days I ride my Harley 50 miles to enjoy the wonderful service and incredible food. If youve had a better chicken fried steak Im willing to bet it was made for you by a loved one. I consider it a blessing that after everything which has transpired in the last year to still be able to visit and stuff my belly to my hearts content.
The customer service was nice but the food wasnt the best. We went because of the Maps score but after the food we could tell that it wasnt accurate.Waaay too greasy food, made not with the best supplies and slow service (I get that sometimes is hard because of the amount of people, but it place was hardly full). I cant complain about the quality of the service because everyone was really nice, but the food, unfortunately, was not.
We got there 15 minutes before closing and were welcome. Service was very attentive and food was great. Wish there was room for dessert.
Service could have been better but its understandable they were busy. Food was good and they offer a military discount. Thats alright in my book.l
The service has really diminished. The days of stacy,michelle,Stacy, monica, are all long gone. Older waitress greets me hello I reply hi Im here for a take out order, she replies oh be with you in a minute, then proceeds to talk to the customer who walked in behind me about his covid shot...10 min later youer lady asks if Ive been helped, she helps me while the other server continues her in depth discussion. Not what made me an atown customer
Love eating at A-Town Diner.... especially the BLT w/fries.... The food is always cooked as ordered and the staff is always friendly and professional. My grandkids love to go there when they visit because the pancakes are out of this world so I highly recommend anyone giving them a try when choosing a place with a good variety for the whole family
The food is always reliable. The wait staff is always attentive. It is a diner with diner food.
Decent food but great service
Katie is wonderful, polite, and extremely professional. I will be back!You go girl.
This place is amazing the whole greyhound is what i had everyone else had hamburgers and we are going back they have allot and great prices lowest i have seen anywhere and it was sooooo worth it. Im recomending to anyone its awesome.
Stumbled on this place by accident heading up to Paso. Got off the road to grab a quick bite and saw A-Town. It had a good rating on g-maps so we gave it a shot.The place has some cool history. Dug all the old photos on the wall. The staff was friendly and the food was definitely good. Would return for sure
The food was okay the service sucked it was too cold in there we had 12 of us they should have taken care of its better for the price I probably wont be going back there
Cant go wrong with a good old-fashioned burger and fries
Try the biscuits and gravy!! Its homemade for sure with just the right amount of huge chunks of sausage and black pepper throughout!! Corned beef hash was just ok... Pastrami and potatoes is what it should say ..... Chilliquilles was really a chorizo and egg scramble topped with a couple tortilla strips. But flavorful and huge portions
A-Town Diner (Virgils) has a large variety of diner food, and home cooked style meals. I am yet to have anything bad there. Most of their meals are above my expectations, and only a couple have been at a standard diner level (still really tasty and not bad at all). They offer a large menu, so give yourself some time to look it over.I have been there four to five dozen times over the years, and they never disappoint me. They are locally owned, and make amazing desserts as well. They have cobblers, fruit pies, cream pies, malts, shakes, and Im sure I am forgetting a few other desserts. One of my favorite dinners is their fried chicken, as well as one of their two different pastrami sandwiches. They also offer GLUTEN-FREE bread if needed ($1-$2 extra).The black and tan onion rings are pretty amazing, cheese sticks are pretty good, and theyre homemade pico de gallo salsa is pretty good, too.I sometimes wish they had later hours, but they are still amazing during the hours they are open from breakfast, lunch, and dinner.Be sure to call them ahead of time if you need to know their hours, because sometimes the hours posted on the Google businesses are incorrect.
2nd time me and my family tried this place. 1st time I got sick. Literly!!!! Had the chicken Parmesan which was the special That was last year in September. Yesterday I tried the philly cheesesteak sandwich. Terrible!!! No flavor what so ever, bland as hell!!! After 1 bite I returned it back and it was taken off the bill, waiter was very apoloagetic but nothing else was offered as a compensation. Went home hungry. My wife and son had salads. They were ok but not impressed. So far 2/2 on bad food!!!
Service was slow. We ordered an appetizer but they didnt bring it until they brought our dinner. I had a bacon cheeseburger and the bacon was a little raw and the burger was lacking flavor. My husband had the ribs-spicy (which they werent) and the flavor was off putting. Ordered strawberry shake from 1 server who didnt relay to our 2nd server. When we finally got her attention she was very nice but...it was the end of the meal. Dont think well be going back soon.
Our server was wonderful. Food was excellent.
Im not a sandwich person, but we stopped and ate here passing through the area since it was recommended by family. I had the Phillycheesesteak sandwich with the au jus dipping sauce and sweet potato seasoned fries. This was by far the best Phillycheesesteak Ive ever had and Ive tried many. The only bad thing is that were passing through and wont get another chance to go there again any time soon.
Our sandwiches were delicious and so huge we could only eat half.
Ok food, not great. Went whole meal no one came by to check on us or refill water, etc.
Food was great! Friendly service and definitely will be back!
Home cooked food and a friendly staff.
Good food for the most part but poor service now. Used to have very attentive service but a lot left to start their own restaurant.
Mixed feelings I hate to leave this review been here many times. Before Covid19 used to go once a month and met a friend for a bite and chat. Went back the first time since Covid, first time eating out since sat outside the tables were wiped down in front of us which was nice spoke with the owner who was very friendly. I noticed most of the employees were not wearing masks when we walked in along with my friend said the restrooms were very very dirty. When she came back to the table we decided we werent comfortable staying. We always had good food and nice people working there and clean but this time we didnt even get to order and the place wasnt clean I even noticed a musky smell or some kind of unclean smell when we walked in along with the place just didnt look as clean and employees were NOT wearing masks not even shields if they couldnt wear masks. I hate to leave this review because I had always liked eating here but not sure if I will go back now.
To be fair Ive only eaten here once. The service was excellent and fast. The food itself was just ok.
Always reliable good food!
Food is so good The service was good until we had to pay we went up to the front counter and asked for bill and wanted desert the older lady was not so friendly and didnt check us out because she wanted are waitress to get the desserts and check us out we waited a good 8 minutes to be checked out so I was over it and only got my daughter her desert.
Great food. Great service
Food is fresh with good size portions. Prices are good. The staff is friendly.
Great food great prices great people.
Very friendly staff the food was plentiful and the service was quick. They are doing an awesome job just trying to survive the current situation with the Covid. My hats off to their staff
Good food and service, we will be back again. Very clean also.
Food is delicious. Took my food to go. Dine in available but I had to leave, due to some staff not wearing masks properly and customers walking around without masks.
Great food and fast, friendly service. Its nice to go to locally owned business that really goes above and beyond in making sure that their customers are happy. The wait staff is very friendly and efficient. IMHO, they have the best burgers around, beating out, In & Out and The Habit by a mile. Actually, Im glad that this place is more locally known so its not inundated by tourists and you can generally get a seat for lunch right off while seeing other friends and neighbors from around town rather than a bunch of passer through people from the Bay area or the Valley.
It was good. They have awesome food. Great staff and they dine in. Yayyyy Go
Great food and plenty of it. We will return.
It was awesome.. I havent been here in a while, but its as good as its always been.. Just excellent. Oh, and the staff was great
Food was good and staff was polite
Great home-style food at reasonable prices and friendly service.
Friendliest server and dinner was delicious! Will definitely come back when in town! Love the atmosphere!
Great food and the best onion rings I have ever had.
Not as good as they use to be, quality of the food not good. Too expensive.
Love this diner. Good food. Reasonable prices
Great Food. Excellent service.
Great food breakfast s Wii dat
Delicious food and wonderful service!
I cant support this business anymore. Every single time my order is wrong or missing something and each time I go back I always give them the benefit of the doubt. No more.Theres also random people who dont appear to work there go behind the counter to grab coffee, cups, or whatever.The quality of food has been declining as well.None of the cooking staff are wearing masks and the serving staff keep there mask under their chin.The pandemic is hitting restaurants hard but come on...
A-Town Town Diner is exactly that a diner. It has everything you need to be a diner, and it serves it up well. I recommended for breakfast and lunch, and its popular for all three meals with everybody. I guess I just use diners for breakfast and lunch myself, but dont let my habit slow you down rumor has it the dinners are pretty nice as well. Anyway quality breakfast, quality lunch, were happy every time, and my son loves his place so I have to keep coming back and coming back. Its worth it
Amazing burgers,amazing staff set up the atmosphere, retro American style food, makes it family friendly!!
No hassle for things you shouldnt be hassled for
Just some of the best onion rings. Trust me. Get the onion rings. A local classic restaurant that supports the local community a TON through fundraisers for the local community. Just a stand up bunch of folks and a stand out diner.
Great to be able to sit down. Great service. The only reason its not a 5 star is, while Virgs Original Pastrami tasted wonderful, maybe better than normal, the meat was pretty fatty and somewhat tough. Not the 1st time lately. Mesquite Chicken sandwich was very good as were the fries.
If youre trying to decide between Dennys and A-Town Diner, come to A-Town. The food is better and the service is WAY better. They take custom orders and have a variety on the menu. If your group has trouble deciding what to ear, just come here. They have something for everyone.There is some cool historic photos on the walls. I have found a favorite on the menu yet. But Ill keep trying. Chicken fingers and the waffle was pretty good. They should add it to the menu.
Best place I ever had. The food was the best and the waiter was super nice.
Lots of good food choices; breakfast, lunch and dinner, and breakfast is served anytime. Daily specials are available.I had a pastrami sandwich. It was loaded with plenty of meat, served with large cut fries. You can get a half sandwich if youre not that hungry, but its still lots of meat. The service was excellent, and the prices are reasonable. Theres plenty of free parking. Enjoy!
Nice people, great service.
A delicious breakfast spot!
Consistently good food, excellent and fun service!!
Excellent food. Big portions.Great prices !Highly recommend
Nice service and good coffee
Good portion, friendly staff and yummy food
Best place in town for breakfast, lunch or dinner.Really too many good platters to mention just one.Love the omelettes, burgers, salads and especially the new soups.Was voted best Biscuits and Gravy a few years back for a good reason.
Great place to sit down with family or friends for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
If your looking for a memorable dining experience then look no further! The A-Town diner was s wonderful experience that I would highly recommend to anybody. Between delicious foods and drinks, excellent customer service and reasonable prices and a warm family atmosphere it was a fantastic diner to discover.
Terrible service. No masks and dirty tables
Great fish and chips believe it or not! And the service was wonderful!
I always enjoyed going to this restaurant, the food was good and the staff were very friendly but seeing them open now against stay at home orders makes me angry. Our hospitals are almost full, our numbers go up daily, but you pass by this restaurant and the parking lot is always busy and people are eating inside, I doubt I will patronize his restaurant again.
Food was good, ranch was watered down. Gluten Free bun was OK but being toasted on the grill would make it a lot better. Nice place good service. Bathroom could use a little upgrade.
Great customer care. The food was delicious. The french fries were nice and crunchy And not greasy. That is always a big plus. We have the French dip and the flavor was outstanding. So I was you wasnt too salty it was perfect. The desert case is to die for. Loved loved loved their carrot cake. Definitely be going back for another piece of that soon. Wait staff was ugly and very personable and attentive. If they seen my drink getting low they were right there to get it. The coffee kept coming and it was piping hot. Cute little place with a long time history
This is the charming part about a small town. Businesses like A-Town Diner. You walk into the place and instantly feel at home. Food is delicious. Wait staff are awesome.
Food was really good, and the waitress was really attentive. With vivid they have a nice outdoor setup under shade to keep it comfy
I believe I just ate THE BEST pastrami sandwich EVER! My husband got a to-go box for his food so he could eat mine.
Awesome customer service and great food!! Loved the pancake!! ☺☺
Its me and my moms mother and son date place we go to. The service is great the food is even better and the prices are good, totally recommend!
The food is delicious!! The service is awesome! its about a half hour from where we live the worth the trip. service is fast and everyone is very pleasant. I highly recommend it.
Chicken fried steak served on mashed potatoes with a delicious gravy over the top of it all made for a large serving and a very appetizing dish. I intend to return for the many options available especially for breakfast. Great family diner feel and a clean establishment.
Good service and decent prices.Have tried a few dinner items and breakfast once. Food is consistent. Flavors are on point and servings are generous.Lots of parking and in a convenient location.
Great breakfast 😋, best server sara will take care of you as if you are family.
If youre looking for a fun 50s style diner, this is the place. The menu is huge, as are the servings and the food is delicious. The dining room is bright, clean and family friendly and the staff is attentive and friendly. Prices are also family friendly reasonable. Nuff said.
First time there. Even tho they were busy, we got our food fast and hot. The best pancake I ever had. The hot syrup kept it hot the whole time!
Not as good as it used to be, lacking in service but still good food!
