Firestone Grill - San Luis Obispo (CA)

5 /5 Mark Fabela: Firestone Grill is always solid. This time I got a Chicken Caesar Salad. It was pretty good the chicken was super tender and marinated for a really good flavor my only critique is it had too much dressing on it… I think that’s my fault though I know I don’t like a lot of dressing on my salads and didn’t order the dressing on the side. I will let them keep their 5 star review as I have been coming here forever and it’s always a good experience. I’ll get a tri tip sandwich usually. Their ribs are pretty good too. Overall I’d say for the price this is a solid choice not overly high quality / artisan type specialty stuff just a good solid choice with something for everyone. It smells really good when you walk in too. Smells like “home”.

5 /5 Chris C: Went here based on a recommendation from a team we support while on a work trip, we were searching for a great California tri tip sandwich and they nailed this on the head. Their tri tip is absolutely delicious and their prices are fantastic especially for the area. Their side of fries is 2 gallons of fries. I feel they could upgrade their number system so they could play music, but their food was just really really good.

5 /5 Danelle Lucado: A great place to relax with family and friends, as the entire group faces the challenge of finishing a humongous basket of perfectly prepared, seasoned French Fries, second only to the TriTip sandwich, cooked to your taste, and seasoned like no other place Ive found. The outdoor patio area offers a fun, lively alternative to the typical indoor sports bar vibe, generosity outfitted with flat screens at every angle. The overall atmosphere is energetic accompanied by great food and of course, laughter. Nestled on a fabulous corner location - spacious enough that you feel tucked away from the hustle, but still close enough to soak in the glow of the city lights and the energy of the neighborhood. From your porch covered tabled, you can enjoy both the comfort of your own space and the charm of the small city vibe rolling by outside. Always a great time, whatever youre in the mood for

4 /5 Ann C: I think you’ll agree 1000% here. Firestone is a well-known and popular restaurant. There is usually a long queue in downtown SLO but it is worth the wait. The tri-tip sandwich is the signature item of this place. If you go here you must have this item and you can’t miss out on it. Because you should try it at least once. My husband and I like the half rack of ribs combo. It’s delicious and very satisfying. Their salads are great too with large portions. The lettuce is crispy and recently harvested which is so fresh. The best part is that this restaurant is inexpensive with excellent quality food. The crew is very friendly and helpful. The feeling of ambiance is nice with a leisurely and relaxing atmosphere that is very enjoyable.

5 /5 Alexey Subach: It’s a good value for money place but the food is not amazing on the grand scheme of things. The pork ribs were fairly good but not as tender and the meat was not easily separating from the bone. The ribs definitely should have been cooked for longer. The taste was close to the plain ribs though if you take the sauce on the side which allows you to enjoy the mean flavour. The Caesar salad was a good side and the portion was large. The prices are lower than in a nicer barbecue place. The service was okay but borderline rude at the counter. This place works a bit later than some other places so it definitely has a competitive advantage. I can recommend it if you are on a budget or are super hungry and don’t mind a bit simpler food - the value for money is really good
