Firestone Walker Emporium — Restaurant in Paso Robles

Awful shopping experience! Be aware and keen on the final translation when visiting firestone and walker emporium. They are not transparent and they will bundle up merchandise with service for the final transaction. They will unapologetically turn the monitor with it's tip percentage to compound the final purchases, starting at 20%. On June 12th, I visited the emporium to have a draft beer, and six pack along with merchandise. I spent $210 on merchandise and approximately $20 worth of beer. When it was time to settle the tab I added 20%, thinking it was for the hospitality service only. Nope! They fully know that their system is misleading and rigged. I caught the mistake when I reviewed my receipts and bank account for the week. When I called firestone to correct this outrages added tally of 20% to the merchandise, the manager was dismissive and unaccomodating. Her reasoning was two folds: i had the choice to not tip and the workers work very hard. Instead of addressing the real issue of bundling final transaction of merchandise and beer service and not being transparent about it. She further insist that they work hard. Clearly that was not the argument nor issue. I do not go to the gap and paid a 20% gratitude added to the final merchandise. All in all the manager didn't correct the problem or offer any compensation to their shady practice. Be aware and go out not feeling...

What can we say, incredible place! The food was very delicious and generous portions. Our waitress was cheerful, knew her menu and was concerned with our experience there. Not only was our meal pleasing to the eye but, melted in your mouth. They offered an array of seating choices, a booth, the bar or outside it was such a beautiful warm day we sat outside. It was a three day weekend so you saw adults and families (including the dog) eating there. The beer tasting and varieties were just as inviting. We stopped off at their beer-to-go center and took a few home to try. We also picked up a couple of souvenirs on the way out. We missed out on a tour of the brewery in operation, check online for the times available if you go and you don't want to miss it. It was a busy day and there was a full seating, it was a little noisy, but there were a few cozy spots, also a lot of large seating areas as well. So if your in the area or looking for something to do stop by and...

#1. For me I did not like the ordering process. I get it's a packed place 24/7 so I'm sure it helps but I like the personal experience. #2. I was not happy about my salad. It's was nothing but the hard ice burg parts. VERY VERY VERY disappointed considering in 2010 I attempted to eat this salad but was too sick and pregnant. I dreamed of this salad for 12 years. Just to get one full of all the hard parts I throw away when making a salad. Highly dissapppointed. The dressing was so delicious tho I will add that and so was the croutons. I left more than...
