We have lived in the San Luis Obispo area for about a year now, and spent lots of time here before making it official. All during that time, we kept hearing about the little restaurant in Santa Margarita that everyone must loves....The Range. Well we drove by it atleast 6 times on our way to the lake to hike, and...

One Friday afternoon in April, my travel partner and I packed the white car full of camping gear and headed south to Carrizo Plain National Monument. We could have stopped anywhere along Highway 101 or in Paso Robles where good restaurants are ubiquitous. But being fond of small towns and quirky places, we held off until Santa Margarita to stop...

When you are "told" a restaurant can do no wrong, you have at least two choices. Accept it as truth, or assume you're the victim of a widespread misappropriation of the truth. No lie! We visited Range in late February, and this eatery compares well with the best Boston steakhouses. Be prepared to wait for a table, up to an... More

This is a very unique place. My husband and I (locals) went last week. We are always hearing fabulout things about it. First of all it is check or cash, and they don't take reservations so get there early. We probably arrived around 6pm and there were still plenty of table. Although the dining room is small, there is an... More

First you need to know that this place takes Cash Only, but it is well worth it. The service has been better each time I have gone. The wine list too has only gotten better with each visit. There are higher end area wines as well as decent $30 bottles of wine. I honestly believe that they are not going... More

Santa Margarita is not a place where you would expect to find great food, but it's worth the drive to get there. One caveat - they don't take credit cards so be prepared with cash. Nice variety of menu items - my friend Emily and I both had onion soup and the house salad - both very good, and my... More

We had heard nothing but good things about this place and they were all true. A casual western atmosphere with inside and patio dining. The weather was perfect so we opted for the patio. The waitstaff were a delight and the menu offered us plenty of choices. We started our meal with the garden salad. It consisted of baby greens,... More

We've been going to The Range since it opened 7 years ago and have always been more than satisfied with the consistently great food (good sized portions) and warm, welcoming and attentive service. It's definitely worth a trip to Santa Margarita for anything on the menu let alone Chef Jeff's "special"! P.S. Credit cards are not accepted.
