Jeffry's Wine Country BBQ - Paso Robles, California

Brisket sandwich was amazing! Potato salad and mac n cheese were also quite good but the pulled chicken was rubbery and not very flavorful. The patio area was really cool to hang out in while waiting for the food.

We did a pit stop from Cambria to DT Paso Robles on our way back to Orange County. It was around 11:30am and we were getting fueled for the drive home. Having never been here, the choices were crazy. My wife spotted a sign that said "BBQ - down the alley" - and I said "um, yes, please!"

It looked like just a courtyard, but with a garage door open for counter service food. Prices were pretty decent and the staff gave us great recommendations on the food. I ordered the brisket sandwich with potato salad and my wife ordered the pulled pork tacos.

Food was amazing - probably the best Brisket sandwich I've had anywhere...including the full service places - potato salad was perfect, ice cold and had the perfect flavor of mustard/dill. The pulled pork tacos for amazing and just the right amount of heat.

Pro-Tips:

1. Park around the DT park and walk over - it's free and no stress about being in the alley with assigned scarce spaces.
2. Ask the staff what's good - they got us some bangers!
3. Cleanest bathrooms on site!
4. The sandwich and side is the perfect amount of food

Ate lunch here on a weekday. Food is good, featuring brisket and BBQ sandwiches. Sides are tasty too. Good wine list. Small bar area. This is an outdoor venue that has seating under umbrellas. There's a silly sign out front that directs patrons to order food and then find table.

So glad ladies with FARMstead recommended this place. The line on a Friday night looked long at first, but went decent enough. Food was very good, they had a potato wedge special that was covered in all sorts of yummies, the brisket sandwich was fantastic, stole some of my friends ribs and beans and those were very good. Thought of coming here lots of times finally did and very glad I did.

Amazing BBQ in downtown Paso Robles. Located in Norma's Alley, it is just a block off the square. The food is totally worth the short journey. I ordered the Brisket sandwich with a side of dill potato salad. I also had a local brew (brown ale from Wild Fields Brewhouse, located in Atascadero, CA) and my hubby had the house wine, a blend that Jeffry, the owner created. Both were delish. The Brisket was one of the best I have ever had. Perfectly cooked, lean as could be and seasoned perfectly. And the potato salad was awesome because I love dill and this salad had just the right amount. My hubby ordered the Brisket Mac 'n Cheese and enjoyed every bite. Again, everything was perfectly cooked. Service is friendly and the seating outside was perfect, expecially on such a beautiful night. Highly recommend you try if you are in Paso. You'll love it!

The BBQ felt old and reheated. It was really bland. The chicken on my salad felt it wasn't smoked chicken. Staff are nice and friendly.

This place is definitely worth a visit. Those who read my reviews know that I almost never give 5 stars, but I would have for this place except for a couple of minor issues. Let's start with the good. We met the owner, and he seems like a good guy. Kind and friendly, as were all of his staff. The wine was superb, and reasonably priced. My two guests and I shared a bottle. The fries were excellent; perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside, soft in the middle. One of my guests enjoyed the spicy ketchup they came with, but my other guest and I stuck with the ranch. Honestly, they don't need much dipping sauce. My guest thoroughly enjoyed their entrees, one had one of the macaroni and cheese dishes and the other had the chicken salad. My guest who had the chicken salad even had about half of it to take home with her because it was a generous portion. Sadly, I don't think that I can try their macaroni and cheese because they appear to use truffle oil, and I'm allergic to mushrooms (I'm not sure if that extends to truffles) but it's a good culinary choice. The bananas foster bread pudding was out of this world good.
Now to the only negatives, with some understanding. My entree, the tri-tip sandwich, was alright but underwhelming. It didn't have much sauce, and I didn't ask for more sauce because I wasn't impressed with the sauce. The meat itself was at least tender and juicy. The chips (the side I chose) were boring, and half of them were chewy. The seating is all outdoors, and that's fine if it's not chilly or sweltering. It was a chilly evening when we went, but it wasn't a big negative. The only other negative is that you have to stand in line to order, and they don't want you to sit at the tables before you order. However, no one raised any problems for me when I sat down while my guests ordered for all of us. I'm disabled, and just can't stand in a line that long. They were able to take our dessert orders at the table, so at least I didn't have to stand in line for that. All in all, we'll probably go back at a time when the weather is better. It was a good experience.

Great vibes in this place. Most of the seating was in the outdoor heated patio and a few tables inside. Food was good. We got the Brisket and Ribs Combo Tray. The smoked ribs were meaty and tender. The brisket was also good. It’s a little skimpy on the meat portion but it tasted good. The sides were generous. The mac & cheese and beans were both good. The potato chips were so good, especially with the aioli. However, for $35 I expected a little more meat.
