hether you’re in Paso Robles enjoying wine country for the day, or walking through downtown San Luis Obispo, Goshi Sushi and Japanese restaurant provides rich and authentic cuisine. The menu offers an extensive array of options with fresh ingredients to satisfy every palate. Its menu includes specialty rolls, nigiri, rice and noodle bowls, and tempura among many other specialties. Come sip some sake or a Japanese beer and enjoy this “secret spot” of Japanese cuisine (maybe it’s not so secret anymore). —Taylor O’Connor

Shalimar
elieve me, your local Indian, that Shalimar offers the best Indian and Pakistani fare in San Luis Obispo. Don’t turn up wearing anything with buttons because they will pop thanks to Shalimar’s generous lunch and dinner buffets at no more than $15 a person. You can’t take your leftovers home, so simmer in your seat, and tuck in to the crispiest catfish fritters, the light but warming lamb curry, and saag (creamy spinach), among a cornucopia of options. Don’t forget the kheer (rice pudding) for a sweet treat, and stick around for seconds … and thirds. —Bulbul Rajagopal

W
hat makes Firestone Grill a great spot for families and large groups to gather over some grub comes down to a combination of the venue’s casual atmosphere and shareable dishes. There are plenty of ways to bond with loved ones at a dinner table, but sharing a basket of Firestone’s perfectly seasoned fries with a couple sides of ranch is tough to beat. Firestone’s onion rings are perfect for sharing as well, and taste divine—it’s no wonder why they’re the same shape as angel halos. If sharing food with family members isn’t exactly your cup of tea, there are plenty of solo options—for adults and kids alike— to indulge in. Hot dogs and burgers and salad—oh my! —Caleb Wiseblood

Ziggy’s
iggy’s serves burgers, tacos, cheesy fries, breakfast burritos, and taquitos, but with an important twist: Every item is vegan. People can enjoy the luxury of chomping into a taco that is filling and full of flavor, without straying from their dietary needs. The takeout-only style restaurant began with the mission of making food for everyone—not just vegans. “We just wanted to make good food that happens to be less impactful for the environment,” according to its mission statement. Ziggy’s takeout system allows everyone to enjoy its food in the peace and quiet of their own home, and its diverse menu will suit anyone’s needs—whether ordering from the Paso Robles or San Luis Obispo locations. —Taylor O’Connor

There Does Not Exist
here might not exist, but San Luis Obispo native Max Montgomery certainly put his craft brewery on the map when he opened There Does Not Exist in SLO Town in 2019. A former brewer at Firestone Walker Brewing Company, Montgomery put his own psychedelic twist on his branding and aesthetic with this project, but don’t be fooled by the wild and cosmic stencil-style artwork wrapped around his cans. There Does Not Exist beer is grounded in pure quality and craftsmanship. The feat of this brewery is its range—every style of beer it produces, from European brews to IPAs, is simply top-notch, or dare we say, the best. —Peter Johnson

hoebe Bridgers. Elvis Costello. Pat Benatar. This is just a handful of some massive talents slated to perform upcoming concerts at the Vina Robles Amphitheatre in Paso Robles. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Tears for Fears, Ringo Starr (who is returning to the venue in October), and other acts at the local staple over the years, and I’ve yet to be dissapointed. There’s always something magical about sitting under the stars at Vina Robles, especially while hearing one of your childhood idols perform live in person. To anyone who’s planning on catching Cal Poly alumnus “Weird Al” Yankovic’s show in September, I’ll see you there! —Caleb Wiseblood

Jake Schroeder (The Mojave Room)
olar-powered (first in America, mind you) with red chairs and real butter on its popcorn, the Palm Theatre in San Luis Obispo is the default for film buffs. Take it from my friend, who biked there expecting to watch the latest Nicolas Cage movie, while I waited with our tickets at another theater. The Palm doesn’t play the new Cage flick but its offbeat curation of films from around the world leaves me feeling all the richer for their wealth of knowledge. I go almost every week. From Oscar shorts to global documentaries, the Palm has us covered. It’s the best place to up your cultural knowledge. —Bulbul Rajagopal

s an avid thrifter, I’ve personally vetted nearly every shop in town, and I always find myself going back to Fred & Betty’s. The store is clean and organized, the prices are clear and reasonable, and there are thrift gems galore—the thrifting trifecta! Some of my favorite pieces I’ve snagged at the Higuera Street shop include a set of jade green glass plates, vintage sunglasses, and a brand new pair of Saucony wool sneakers, which just goes to show the range of items you can score at Fred & Betty’s. Plus, you can feel good while you shop, because all proceeds benefit SLO Classical Academy. Yay education! —Malea Martin

With locations sprinkled throughout SLO County (Nipomo, Grover Beach, Arroyo Grande, San Luis Obispo, Los Osos, Morro Bay, and Atascadero), the friendly staff at Miner’s are eager to help you fi nd the missing piece to your latest home improvement project. Personally, my favorite part of the store is the plant department, featuring a wide selection of healthy house plants like monsteras, fiddle leaf fi gs, and snake plants. Miner’s has been in the community for more than 65 years now, and its superb customer service, fair prices, and wide selection show why it’s a clear winner. —Malea Martin

Animal Care Clinic
outed as the largest staffed animal hospital in San Luis Obispo, Animal Care Clinic certainly doesn’t sacrifice quality for size. With five veterinarians and eight registered vet technicians on its staff, Animal Care Clinic’s robust team has the expertise and wherewithal to take the greatest care of your pet and hundreds of others in the community. In its state-of-the-art facility, you’ll find three exam rooms; rooms for ultrasounds, consulting, treatment, and surgery; isolation and intensive care units; and even a two-bedroom apartment for live-in nurses. This clinic is the real deal and a force for good in the community, with a 30year track record to show for it. —Peter Johnson

Benny’s Pizza Palace & Social Club
“I
ngenious” is one way to describe Benny’s Pizza’s business plan. The company’s namesake—Ben Arrona—began making pizzas out of his home kitchen for friends, and when he outgrew that he began renting a commercial kitchen—and through a private Facebook group—began selling his Detroit pies twice a week, subletting the commercial kitchen the other days. He sold out every bake. With two business partners, he bought the old Pepe Delgado’s location and liquor license, invited Facebook group members to submit B&W photos of themselves in gold frames to decorate the walls, and voila! Benny’s Pizza Palace was born. There’s still space on the wall for you. —Glen Starkey

BEST DOG PARK
C
Laguna Lake Park
an we all agree that dogs are the best? Can we also agree that dogs, like people, need to socialize to lead happy, healthy lives? The best places for both dogs and people to meet those needs is a dog park, where dogs can meet other dogs and people can meet other dog lovers. Most dog parks are completely fenced in, which some like, but if you have a ball dog who really likes to run, Laguna Lake Park is the place. The road side of the dog park is fenced while the field side is open, and you’re looking out at the lake, trees, a playground, and open space. It’s as beautiful as your four-legged friend. —Glen Starkey
