Spirit of San Luis Restaurant

A great place for lunch and watch the happenings at the San Luis Obispo Airport

Spirit of San Luis Restaurant has been in business for over 20 years and it’s a great place to stop in for lunch and enjoy the planes at the San Luis Obispo Airport taking off and landing.

The Digs:
Spirit of San Luis
925 Airport Drive
San Luis Obispo CA, 93401

The Scoop:
A lot of the meals are humorously named after airplane terms or history such as the Kitty Hawk, The Mile High Club, and the Wright Cheeseburger. If the weather is nice, sit outside on the patio. It’s a great time watching the happenings at the San Luis Obispo Airport. There is a whole world going on out there that people rarely stop to pay attention to.

What Rocks:
All the food is great. I have been there many times and on this occasion enjoyed the Chicken Cordon Blue Sandwich. Try the Mile High Club Sandwich or if you are into salads, the Cobb Salad. You won’t be disappointed. They have a full bar and a very nice beer and wine selection.

What Sucks:
Since the restaurant has been there so long, it is becoming a bit dated. It could desperately use some remodeling but my suggestion is don’t pay so much attention to the décor and watch all the fun activity going on at the airport.

The Moolah:
It is not an inexpensive lunch but not terribly priced for what you get. Most lunch fares range from $9-13. Dinner is around $11-25. They have a full bar and a very nice beer selection.
