The food here actually isn't that bad. Â It's nothing spectacular but pretty good. The prices are more San Luis Obispo than Atascadero. The service is decent but it wouldn't kill them to have a couple of more servers to help clear tables and get refills.
This is not the type of place you come for the atmosphere. It is a very masculine type of place that has a rough bar and grill type of edge. Â You would definitely be ordering beers here, not wine. Outlaws is also good for lunch and dinner as well.
This review is for the bar only. Unlike the majority of my Yelp reviews, I'm keeping this one short: Shady location (back alley behind the Shell station in Atascadero, enough said), shady-looking patrons (I use the term 'patrons' loosely'), and it's the kind of place where you get the feeling that someone could get thrown through a plate-glass window at any moment. As a well-put together 20-something year old male, I definitely felt out of place here. Oh yeah, and the drinks are overpriced on top of all of that. The only reason this place doesn't get one star is because it has two pool tables to entertain yourself while you sip on your overpriced cocktails, and it is the closest place to drink in proximity to Chalk Mountain Golf Course.
Review Source:Primarily been kept afloat by a stream of employees from the largest employer within 50 miles, the management has decided they don't want thei r business anymore.
They are welcome to give it a go catering to the stream of meth-heads from the housing nearby, and the alcoholics looking for a fight that have been kicked out of Club Soda.
Good luck in this bar. Usually some idiot looking for a fight, while the owners seem more preoccupied with the small change profit rather than maintaining a quality business that can flourish.
four beers,a pound of wings, two orders of chicken strips, and french fries for $40? of course im a fan! great value and great option for late night eats if your nap lasts a little longer than you expected. very much a locals bar but they were more than friendly to four out-of-towners!
Review Source:I was always forgetting about this place until I went in for breakfast about a month ago and loved it. Â It has a great menu selection for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Â The meat are USDA grade. Â I had an omelet with biscuits and gravy and it was delicious. Â It seems they use high quality food. Â I've been back 2 times since and it has always been consistently good. Â Today I had lunch there...a 1/2 pound burger with extra crispy french fries...and they actually listened when I requested the extra crispy....Its not the cheapest place in town, however, for the quality and quanity its not that bad....check out the specials they are currently offering....The service always seems good also...
Review Source:I used to go here with my co-workers after work, usually when we had something to celebrate. Along with Hoovers this is the other decent bar in Atascadero. I actually prefer this one to Hoovers, as it has more of an atmosphere, mostly of the small-town saloon-ey nature. There's run-of-the-mill bar-type food, a good selection of cheap drinks, and other things to do like game machines and darts. Unlike the other reviewer I didn't find the atmosphere masculine, just small-town Western. (The coworkers I used to go with were actually all female!) There's a restaurant area where you can sit down and just order food, so it's definitely an appropriate place for kids despite being a bar.
Although this would be more of a three-star place in an area with more selection, for being the only entertaining bar in Atascadero it definitely deserves the 4th star!
The food here actually isn't that bad. Â It's nothing spectacular, but pretty good for a decent price too. Â
What will turn some off and others on is the atmosphere - it's very much a masculine type of place that has a tough edge. Â You would be ordering beers here not chardonnay. Â
Anyway, it's good for lunches too.
