The Backyard on Thirteenth — Restaurant in Paso Robles

My wife and I saw this awesome outdoor location while having breakfast in downtown Paso. We decided we wanted to stop in for dinner and drinks after our day at the pool and a couple wine tastings. We had amazing creative food and some great beers and wines. The selection of beer and wine here is top notch, and the location and ambiance of the place is just as great! We were able to catch SNF, have some drinks and food all while being able to socially distance easily. Unfortunately our phones died while we were enjoying ourselves. I was speaking to the man serving me a beer (who I didn't know at the time was the owner) and he called and paid for an uber for us back to our hotel. If that isn't the type of business you want to support, I don't know what is. We will definitely be coming back to the Backyard, and will be telling all our friends to visit...

Great spot to wrap our wedding weekend! We hosted a casual farewell brunch here the morning after our wedding. We had a private section of the outdoor space and a private line at the bar for our guests to order on our bar tab. We had our hearts set on serving bagels and mimosas, neither of which are on the Backyard’s usual menu. Amy and Russ were so accommodating – they provided sparking wine and juice in the price of our bar tab for a variety of mimosa flavors, and let us bring in a catered bagel spread from Johnny Boy’s Bagelry without an additional charge for outside food (side note, HIGHLY recommend Johnny Boy’s). Amy stuck around for our whole event and made sure we had absolutely everything we needed. She was so kind and really went out of her way to make sure we had an easy and great experience. Definitely recommend hosting an event at...

Absolutely amazing food and experience. Staff was friendly. Facilities are well maintained.

We had the watermelon salad, a Philly cheesesteak, and the Bavarian pretzel. All of those items were perfect. Everything was so LIGHT and FRESH tasting. Maybe it's because I'm from out of state but I have no idea you make a sandwich and a pretzel feel light. Still, they did! Very impressed.

All of the seating is outdoors and well designed so that the breeze isn't too overwhelming, and it would be great for large casual parties.

I saw the chef himself rush over to help an older gentleman who was trying to bus his own table, and we were checked on multiple times.

I'm going to remember this place for a long time. Exactly what you want when you...
