"Our son was graduating from Cal Poly. We had a family of five. They were so accommodating. Made reservations on line, and our table was waiting for us after the ceremony. All plates licked cleaned. Thanks for adding to our special day."

"Lots of great "American" food favorites, with upscale twists. I had a fabulous turkey pot pie in a flakey crust. Wonderfully sauced, good portion size. 4 of us all had different meals, all great, from hamburger to chicken and biscuits. I had a blueberry cream cheese bread-pudding "dessert of the month" that was incredible. Never had anything like it before. Others had delicious pie and cobblers. Wish I lived closer to this restaurant! Server very friendly, as was all staff we encountered. Manager stopped by to ask how everything was."

"Was disapointed in quality of dinner. I ordered the turkey gravey on the died an substitued rice for mashed potatoes and recieved a plate drowning in gravey. The oher dinner was potroast and he ordered the mashed potatoes an told me they tasted like instant mashed.
We would not return again during our next trip to SLO."

"We went to Apple Farm last Friday night. My prime rib was quite tasty. Even better than the filet I had the previous night at a well-known competitor. The food was so good, we went back for breakfast the following morning. The biscuit and gravy I ordered with my meal was nearly as good as the bisquits and gravy I had in Nashville (maybe better - gasp!) Sumptuous. Would definitely recommend."

the air conditioner was on plus fans, which made the room cold."

"Although we have been to Apple Farm many times this was our first time for brunch and it was really nice. They were extremely busy so we were glad that we had reservations. The room they seated us in was new to us and it was quite cozy. We had requested the gazebo room but were seated in a completely different section of the restaurant, however, we liked this room just as much as the gazebo room. Our waitress was just a doll and always had a smile on her face. There were many options to choose from for brunch which was nice."

"We were so impressed with the food quality at Apple Farm Restuarant! Prepared to perfection. Two of us each had salads out of this world... a fresh wedge salad and market citrus. LIghtly dressed with room to let the fresh lettuce and additions be known. Our entrees were a chicken cutlet and the tilapia. We heard the special had kale so each of us asked to substitue our side dishes for that. Oh my... The kale was lightly sauteed and so rich. Just divine. Entrees lovely with the meyer lemon on the chicken and light breading that did not overpower the fish. Great wine list too! Our server was pleasant. The food quality is great but it would be nice for a family where kids would be happy too! GREAT! Will be back when down in SLO!"

"It was nice peaceful place to take my mom out for a wonderful mother's day brunch. I'd never been there before and I loved it. Consider adding better descriptions of your menu items and maybe a creme brulee french toast. I still haven't found a restaurant in the area that serves it."

"We came at 11:15 on a Sunday. Would have loved the option to order lunch. I really wanted a sandwich however lunch service wasn't available until 12 noon. The breakfast meal was fine and tasted good however I didn't want breakfast food at that time. We were traveling back home 3 hours and did not want to wait 45 minutes to order from the lunch menu."
