"It's all hail to the bird at The Hatch. This downtown Paso Robles restaurant reveres the rotisserie and roasted chicken is indeed the must order. Brined and smoky, the half Mary's organic chicken is sided by a vanilla-maple slaw, buttermilk dip and Hatch hot sauce, and its perfectly salty skin coupled with flavorful meat gives an expensive steak a run for its money. The skillet cornbread, finished with brown butter, flaky salt and honey, is a worthy sidekick. With down-home style cooking, it may come as no surprise that cream pies are the focus come dessert. Order the chocolate cream pie, an individually-sized treat served in a metal pie tin. How could you ever go wrong with chocolate pudding and salted caramel in a coconut graham crust?" - Michelin Inspector

"Open since 2015, Hatch is among the newer restaurants in Paso, but this modern Southern rotisserie is one of the hardest tables to get in town. Weekend wait times are counted by the hour, so we recommend getting a reservation. When you’ve finally made it, focus on their incredible rotisserie chicken and whiskey cocktails. The place definitely has a party-like atmosphere, so it’s a great dinner spot if you’re in town with friends and looking to get a little rowdy." - Brant Cox

The Hatch was recommended by a number of locals, so we knew we had to try it. Sommer made our dinner so delightful - she was helpful and gave us time while being attentive simultaneously. The bar and restaurant were bustling for a Friday night (so a little loud) but service and food timing remained excellent throughout the meal. The Friday special was prime rib (until they run out) so naturally we ordered one. We got the Brussel sprouts to start which were sweet and flavorful but a little overcooked (needed to be more crispy). The grilled bass was a sizable portion but just a touch dry, and the prime rib was under done (asked for medium rare and it was definitely rare. To be fair I KNOW how hard it is to get the right temperature on the right slice of a limited quantity of prime rib, but still…). Overall, decent meal, great cocktails, and the staff was great.

First time here and was very impressed. Went with a bunch of friends and tried a little of everything. The fingerlings and brussel sprouts were my favorite starters. I got the Hatch burger and added the bacon & fried egg, it was SO good! Of course had to try some of the rotisserie chicken as well and was amazing as expected. Definitely will be back to try more of the menu

I've always loved eating here, but it had been a while since going, wanted to return. Like in the past, if you have a later reservation, high chance that they'll be out of something. Yesterday, they were out of everything we ordered, minus a salad. I get maybe an item or two, but that many items? What we did order was fine, but the mushrooms weren't quite like I remembered, and was excited about. The drinks on the other hand were fantastic! The cocktails are fun, unique, and flavorful. If anything, you must try one of their beverages! Still think they're great, just disappointed with being unable to order what we wanted..

Great place fantastic food and attentive service. I had the wagyu hangar steak with pan sauce containing stock, and meat juices. Spiking the sauce with smoked whisky is a genious move by the chefs! The place closed at 10 pm a bit too early for a Saturday night. The wine is really expensive (!) I would have appreciated a couple of somewhat cheaper alternatives.

The Hatch is my favorite restaurant in Paso. The food is amazing. Get the artichoke and/or mushrooms for appetizer. I love the rotisserie chicken dish, but I finally came on a Wednesday for their special fried chicken and it was next level.

Prime rib was tough and chewy, the cut was thin and very small portion. The Aujus was more like packaged gravy. I don't do fries so they did sub a small salad for me. For $65 this was VERY DISAPPOINTING! My $18 glass of wine (Hatch red blend) was very astringent, barely drinkable. We should have skipped this dinner and got a taco at Sensorio. POOR QUALITY & POOR VALUE. I live here in SLO county and I will not return and will recommend others choose a different establishment.

On a recent wine tasting trip to Paso Robles my wife and I made a reservation to dine at the Hatch. Interesting atmosphere and our waitress was nice. I booked this restaurant due to the food reviews, we were looking forward to a great meal. I had the Scotch Egg for an appetizer, my wife got a salad. Salad was good, the Scotch Egg was over fried and very salty. Our entree to share, waitress said it was large enough for 2, was the roasted chicken, we also had the fingerling potatoes. You got a huge portion of potatoes but flavor was lacking. The chicken was so over cooked that it was the driest chicken I have ever been served. The chicken leg and other parts were actually black they were so over roasted and terrible. I definitely would not ever go to this restaurant again They also seemed to be under staffed.

Enjoyed dinner here on a busy Wednesday evening last July. Sat at the bar, where we were impressed by the bartender’s ability to keep everyone very happy at peak hours. We tried the fried chicken special, which was unfortunately underwhelming, though the potatoes were good. It needs less breading and more chicken (maybe bone-in wings would work better?). Then we ordered an espresso martini and were very pleasantly surprised — it was beautiful and tasted as good as any I’ve had. Hope to be back to try other things on the menu!

The ambience was casual and friendly. Our waitress was very helpful and kind. Her service was great. The food just average . Although the cornbread was delicious.

Final dinner before college! After consulting Yelp and conferring with my parents, we made our way over to Hatch in downtown Paso Robles for dinner. I ordered the fried chicken (a Tuesday and Wednesday special), and Heat Waves mocktail for myself, and split an order of corn bread, fried green tomatoes, mushrooms, and chocolate cream pie. The fried chicken was ridiculously good. You get half a chicken, so more than enough to share with multiple people; I only managed to eat three of the five gargantuan pieces I was served. They were crispy all around, had honey drizzled on top, and came with a delightfully spicy hot sauce and a sweet ranch. I didn't care very much for the latter, but it did go well with the chicken due to the sweet-spicy contrast. The Heatwaves mocktail was minty and was made with ginger beer, which meant it had a more intense fizz. Great on a hot day. The corn bread had a harder candied top, was semisweet, and warm and moist. I'd recommend asking for a side of butter to kick it up a notch. The fried green tomatoes were the best out of the apps. They came with crab on top, the richness of which went well with the saltiness of the tomatoes and pickled onions. It's a bummer they're only three to an order. The mushrooms were mushrooms; I'm not a big mushroom guy. The chocolate cream pie was mini, but still delivered the same silky smooth decadence one would expect from a regular-sizes pie. It's probably better that it was mini, because after all those apps and the chicken, I was starting to get full. The service was solid. Our server was super friendly and answered all our questions about the menu. When my mom's purse dropped, another server quickly came over, picked it up, and hung it on one of the bag hooks had on either side of the table. The time between which we got our appetizers and our mains was a bit longer than we expected, but it wasn't that big of a deal on account of the quality of the food.

The two things that immediately struck me about this restaurant the second I walked in was the wonderful smell of wood fire and roasted meats generated amazing smells and the beautiful bourbon collection. I knew I would be happy and I was. I had a perfectly roasted prime rib and an old fashioned that was top notch. The minor negatives I had were these. We ordered several items as sides, under the sides section of the menu. It would be expected that the sides would come with the entree. We finished the cornbread, and roasted fingerling potatoes about ten minutes before the prime rib even arrived. By that time I filled up on the sides and wasn't that excited to eat my prime rib.

I ate here a couple years ago and had a wonderful meal. Tonight, not as much. Pork shoulder was very fatty. The cornbread skillet was bizarrely sweet and DRENCHED with brown butter. I had a lot of trouble trying to enjoy it. It was absurdly sweet, even if it were served as a dessert(and it was an appetizer!). Lovely service however! I don't tend to leave many bad reviews...small businesses are trying to do the best they can. But this was really disappointing. Sort of wish I had tried their pizza place next door instead.

Definitely need a reservation for this place - even for a random Thursday. I was looking forward to their rotisserie chicken but that ran out - same with their daily special beef ribs. Queue the disappointment. That said, rest of their foodstuff is decent. The meat loaf was surprisingly good - probably the best I've had anywhere. The corn bread was more on the sweeter side, almost like a dessert. Recommend you come here with a group of people so you can try a bunch of dishes. Overall not a bad place to dine in Paso Robles.

Yelp
Wow! We came for the Rotisserie Chicken and the Shrimp & Grits, but we got the Thursday special, Shepherd's Pie and they had a few orders of Fried Chicken (usually available on Tuesday & Wednesday - both via recommendations from Summer, our server! She was very much on point. The Shepherd's pue was outstanding. I actually saved a piece of the cornbread appitizer and used it with the Shepherd's pie and was blown away with how good it was. My wife had the fried chicken, although I stole a couple bites, and it was easily the best fried chicken either one of us have had before. Service by Summer was outstanding. Parking wasn't too bad. We had a reservation (highly recommend) and got seated right away. The 4 roses old fashioned was very good. This Michelin star restaurant is a must try.

Cocktails, food, and service were top notch! The vibe was upscale casual and not at all "fussy." Highly recommend.

Nice experience here at the Hatch. Had the option of table or bar. We took bar seats. Ordered a couple drinks, which were good, not weak like a lot of places. Ordered the artichoke and the beets to start. Aioli for the artichoke was delish and the beets and strawberries were great. Nice crush to it. We shared the meatloaf was really good. It was a perfect amount of food for both of us. Place is nice and cozy inside and they played great music. Thank you!!

Good service, good food. Timing of food delivery was perfect. We ordered 2 dishes to share first, and a fried chicken entree to share. I assumed all the dishes will be delivered together but no! They brought the scotch eggs and potatoes first, and when we finished they cleared the table, brought new plates and utensils. Then brought our main chicken to share.we were very happy about that, as usually restaurants want to deliver everything at once and want you out of there asap. This is a very popular place, so I recommend either making a reservation, or come early, like right after they open and ask for the bar table if walking in. Really interesting drink menu if you like mixed drinks. Inside is nicely decorated and I felt really cozy eating here.

We came mid week and it was not that busy. The food for the most part is good. The chicken had a nice smokey flavor it it. The potatoes are actually potato salad and not mashed potato so I was confused taking a bit into something cold. Our server Amanda was amazing!! She was always checking in and we never had empty water glasses or drinks. The burger was made to perfection. My only complaint would be the temperature of the fried chicken and rotisserie chicken. It was just warm. When biting into fried chicken, I wish it was a little hot like it was just out of the fryer. Overall, it was great service and food had great flavor.

Best of the Hatch The brainchild of Maggie Cameron and Eric Connolly, Hatch tries to play itself down by saying they're just a simple rotisserie and bar, but they're much, much more than that. Not only has Hatch become a staple (ca. 2015) of DT Paso Robles, but they've drawn the eye of the pickiest critics around, as they've garnered Michelin recommendations since 2022. The Good: *Legit wood-fired grill and rotisserie give everything a smokey flavor. *Strong well-mixed drinks *Waitress, Sommer A, was really terrific, genuine, and knew not to be too bothersome. *Their Hatch house chili sauce was fantastic. Kinda like a spicier Calabrian Chili mix. *Hot Skillet Cornbread was phenomenal, especially with the brown butter, honey, and salt topping, which gave it a sweet, nutty, and savory finish. *We made reservations specifically for the Wednesday Special Fried Chicken, and while it wasn't perfect, it was crispy, moist goodness. My only qualm was I wish that it was a bit more seasoned, as the chicken was bland, albeit perfectly crunchy. *Their Hatch Rotisserie Chicken was better seasoned than the fried one, but some of the pieces came out a bit dry. I will say tho that the smokiness of the Grill really comes thru the second day for leftovers. The Meh: *Chocolate Cream Pie was a bit of a miss, as it the crust was flavorless and the pie itself was über-rich, which made it difficult to eat too much of. And that's not to mention the texture was a bit too waxy for our liking, as well. The Ugly: *Parking in DT Paso can be a little tough, but at least it's free. Just be ready to have to walk a bit jic you have an appointment. Conclusion: While we still had a great meal, it was just that most of the food was just missing a little something, but otherwise, I love the ambiance and great service. Would definitely return. Highly recommended.

Known for their Chicken and yet they still run out before the end of service all the time. Happened to us twice but never again, Not going back! They even note that on the menu they run out. I consider this incompetent kitchen management. If you haven't figured it out by now you're just not worth it. And let me add that it was before 8:00 that they ran out. Not acceptable!!!

Awesome Service by Jillian the Maestro Mixologist. Jillian is a total asset to this Restaurant making us feel so special....... I'll come back just because of her. Food was good, but Jillian was GREAT. If I had my entire staff like her I'd have the most successful team and business.

This place is only restaurant that surprise by their chicken plate!! Well, if you know me I am not a Chicken fan and always been red meat lover!!! This place though changed my mindset for life! We ordered the half chicken plate with beet salad and of course my beloved Old-fashion! Chicken was marinated with perfection! Tasted so tender and smokey! Beet salad was simple and tasteful! And one old fashion made me drunk for the night! The owner was super friendly and helpful too, we told him that we are new in town and he gave us list of must tries! This is a place to remember for sure!

Wine menu exceptional. We had the fried chicken was over cooked, extremely sweet and the hot sauce was beyond unbearable. Scotch egg was great but they cut it for service behind the line so once it was served to us the poached egg was congealed. Service was good. Overall definitely not worth the $250 ?"bill

The restaurant offers such a great experience! The staff was incredible and so welcoming. Answered all of our questions about the food and drinks and what they would recommend. My favorite was the fingerlings and the whiskey sour especially because they made it with egg whites! I ordered the cabbage pasta, and the rest of my group ordered the half rotisserie chicken, shrimp and grits, and the burger (not pictured here). A 10/10 experience that added to our wonderful memories in Paso!

If your in PASO grab dinner at this local hip spot. The chicken is a must ( but get there early or it might be gone) the cocktails are handcrafted. Save room for desert

I've visited The Hatch a few times before and had enjoyable experiences, but my most recent visit was a significant letdown. It's unfortunate how one bad experience can overshadow what was previously a favorite spot. Upon arrival, we were seated in a corner of the restaurant that was uncomfortably hot, which made the dining experience rather unpleasant. To make matters worse, they were out of their specialty prime rib--something we had planned to order three of--and their famous rotisserie chicken was also unavailable. With such a limited menu left, our dining options were severely restricted, and it felt like we were left with only a few choices. The drink I ordered based on the waiter's recommendation turned out to be overly sweet and not to my liking, which added to the disappointment. On the positive side, the mushrooms we had were absolutely delicious--definitely a highlight of the meal. The hamburger was tasty, but it was unfortunately very soggy, which affected the overall enjoyment. Despite this visit being far from ideal, I'm open to possibly giving The Hatch another try in the future, though I'm uncertain about when that might be. It's a shame that a single bad experience has overshadowed the good ones I've had before, but I'm hopeful that another visit might restore my previous positive impressions.

Finally got reservations at the uber popular restaurant in Paso. When trying to make reservations for a group of 6, they really only offer 5:30 or 8:30. Although we had 8:30 reservations, when we showed up a bit early at 6:30 to see if anything was available, they were actually able to seat us! it was because another party cancelled at the last minute, so we were lucky As you can see in the pictures, we ordered a lot of food. Everything was actually quite good and we shared most of it amongst the group. Service was great and the restaurant is another great addition to the Paso scene. I thought that prices were a bit on the high side for what you get, but this is also what Paso is becoming. Paso has changed for the sleepy city with free wine tasting to now having some world class wines and restaurants. Although, these all come with a price.

Made a reservation for 2 on a Tuesday night at 6:45. Parking was easy. Great pacing. Drinks and appetizer were served quickly. Once we finished our appetizer, entrees were served not too long after. // DRINKS - Handpicked: 5/5, love a good lavender cocktail where I can't taste the gin. Airy, tart, and refreshing - Saddle Up: 4/5, solid rye/scotch based drink - My Grandpa's Old Fashioned: 4/5, overall a good drink. smooth but a bitter for my hub's preference. // FOOD - Fried Green Tomato: 5/5, WOW! Incredible combination of flavors and texture. Super steep at 3 pieces for $24, otherwise worth the splurge - Baja Bass: 3.5/5, fish was a touch drier than I would've liked. Would've like more flavor on the fish. Fingerling potatoes were bomb. The sauce on the potatoes were *chef's kiss* - Fried Chicken: 5/5, hubs says it's one of the best fried chicken he's ever had and I'd agree. Skin is super flavorful (truly the star of the show) and the meat fell off the bone.

Amazing food and great service. Prime rib was easy flavor and the Gorgonzola sauce took it to the next level. The drinks were great. One had a cucumber flavor was called something with green juice. That was delicious. Iced tea was wonderful. Fried Chicken was amazing with a great crunch and a bit of Honey. The potato salad was phenomenal, really unique. Highly recommend this spot

We came here for my boyfriend's 30th birthday dinner & it was pretty good! We had beet salad, potatoes, half a chicken, prime bread, shrimp and grits, cornbread, and of course their cocktails! I had the poolside, and it was perfect - not too sweet and not too alcoholic. My favorite out of all of these was probably the cornbread but everyone enjoyed all of it as well!

Yelp
We were pleasantly surprised by how delicious there rotisserie chicken is. We found out that they are known for their fried chicken, however, fried anything is not on my to do list... The portion for this dish was perfect perfectly seasoned moist. We had the fire, roasted mushrooms, that were so good and the coleslaw , so fresh. ... we also enjoyed the butter, lettuce salad with fresh avocado, carrots, and radishes. Big portions.!!! The corkage fee was 25 , very reasonable. The service was a five star. Dog friendly, people friendly right across the street from the main Square. They do have salmon on the menu if you're not into chicken, but they are known for their chickens so go and enjoy.

Really fantastic evening. We're spending a couple nights in Paso on a tour of Central CA. Probably the best restaurant we've enjoyed so far. Amber was super helpful - she had great recommendations about drinks, dinner, desert and even local wineries to visit (and where to find the best Frozé in town - Tin City!). We had the grilled artichoke, fried chicken and pork shoulder. Manhattan, Greener Pastures (Margarita) and Vesper. Everything was pulled off perfectly.

Disappointed. Larger than needed portions. Drinks not alcoholic were too sweet. Great server though. Not expensive. Surprised it's a one star Michelin.

After hearing for years that I "had to come" to Hatch, it was something of a let down. The smoked chicken was OK but the appetizers were lackluster. The mushrooms were earthy but underwhelming -- just tasted like shrooms & sprinkle cheese; hardly earth-shattering. The standout was the Chips & Dip for my wife. She loved the fresh chips and the pimento cheese. I was again underwhelmed but I'd rate a 5-star for her reaction. The brocollini was, again, lackluster. Nothing of significance here for having heard it was above part. I'd go with @Matthew N's wording of "sub par". Finally, the chicken came out. It was so smoky it was like chewing on a smoker. I have a smoker and it's not that hard to pull the chicken off. The texture was wonderful and I admittedly ate it all. It's not that it was a BAD meal hence it's not 2 stars. But it did not earn 4-stars and I think something has happened here where the reputation is exceeding the output at this point. Feels like they are "calling it in". We went early around 5:45pm and the service was good so I'd give that 4 stars. Wanted to love it and say, "Come here". That was not the case, unfortunately. Would not return.

We visited on one of the hottest days of the year, with temperatures soaring over 100 degrees. Despite the heat, the inside was very comfortable, with a lively atmosphere created by a mix of wood and metal furnishings. We arrived a bit early, but they seated us right away. We were initially assigned a high-top table, but they quickly switched us to a regular table when they saw we had a small child. The drink menu was fun, and my wife ordered a couple of cocktails. I had a sip of each, and they were amazing--beautifully balanced flavors, clearly made with care. We ordered a few appetizers, which came out quickly. The Roasted Beets were our least favorite; the large cuts of beet lacked flavor, even with the paired sauce and stawberries. However, the Fried Green Tomato with crab salad was incredible. The three fried tomatoes had a delicious, crunchy batter that paired perfectly with the crab and hollandaise sauce. The Hot Skillet Cornbread was a standout, easily the best cornbread we've ever had. It was wonderfully soft and moist inside with crispy edges--so yummy. For my entrée, I chose the Rotisserie Prime Rib, even though I usually don't like prime rib. It came highly recommended by our waitress, so I took a chance, and I'm glad I did. It was a huge slab of meat topped with large French fries. The Gorgonzola sauce was hidden underneath the prime rib, which added to the delightful surprise when I found it. The outer ring of the meat was encrusted with deliciously seared seasoning, and the smoky flavor combined with the Gorgonzola sauce made it one of the best beef dishes I've had this year. The fries, which I initially planned to skip, were perfectly salted and crispy, and the ketchup had a surprising hint of vinegar that I loved. My wife ordered the Shrimp and Grits, which she absolutely loved. I had a couple of bites and was equally impressed by the robust flavors. We ended our meal with the banana cream pie, which was light and flavorful. The service was outstanding. When our daughter dropped a fork, it was replaced within seconds. The food came out quickly, and plates were cleared promptly. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. We're definitely adding this to our list of favorite restaurants and plan to visit more in the future, even though it's 45 minutes away, it's well worth the drive.

We snuck in to the last open spots at the bar on a Saturday early evening and what a treat. The grilled artichoke was exceptional. We also had the beet salad...I don't even like beets! But it was great. And the rotisserie chicken was perfect. We will absolutely return when we are in town again.

This was our first time in Paso Robles and as we were driving back down from Napa, I was researching online where to go for a foodie and fun dinner, and it seemed as though The Hatch was the place. They weren't wrong, it was an amazing and fun restaurant bar and I can't wait to return! When going somewhere new, I always get input from staff on what their signature drinks and dishes are, and the amazing bartender encouraged us to try their Rotisserie Chicken entrée and Sexy Stranger cocktail, both were so yummy! We also went with their Seared Salmon, also yummy. The vibe inside was fun and had a great mix of locals and people traveling like us. We sat at the bar and our neighbors next to us had ordered the Chocolate Cream Pie and said we had to try it~ they weren't wrong, it was homemade and so yummy! If you're in Paso Robles, you'll hopefully love The Hatch as much as we did!

Visited The Hatch during our trip to Paso Robles upon the recommendation of our Airbnb. We were glad he suggested to make a reservation because it was already pretty crowded at 5pm on a Saturday night. I ordered the wagyu beef cheeseburger which was a 9/10. My only issue was I ordered it well done because I'm pregnant and it still was pretty pink. Otherwise would have really enjoyed. My husband ordered the half rotisserie chicken and he gave it a 7/10. I will say it was a pretty huge portion with it only being the half size. We got fingerlings for the table and the garlic aoli dipping sauce was superb. I'd say it was overall pretty good, but sitting in there was pretty crowded. There was maybe about a foot between us and the party next to us. It was kind of hard to not feel like I was part of their conversation.

I went in with high hopes given so many great reviews and the Michelin recommendation. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype. The service and ambiance were fine, but the food was terrible. I should have listened to a local we met earlier while wine tasting who wrinkled his nose when I told him we had reservations here and recommended several other places instead. I had the half rotisserie chicken. The dark meat was ok, but the white meat was dry and inedible. The rotisserie chicken at Costco for $4.99 is dramatically better and cheaper. The slaw was bland. My husband had the prime rib, which was better than the chicken but had an overly smoked creosote flavor. The steak fries that came with it were good, but nothing special. After the lackluster $150 meal, we decided to forgo dessert and went around the corner for ice cream instead.

Mat M.

Yelp
Overall, loved the decor and vibe of the restaurant. The drinks were tasty - and well done. Our waiter wasn't very attentive. However, the runners were awesome, and the girl assisting in the dining room, filling water, and bussing was phenomenal. The cornbread was a win, and fingerling potatoes with ranch also were a win. The Spring Peas pasta dish with Rotisserie Chicken was one of the most bland and underwhelming dishes I've experienced in a long time. It needs to be re-tooled, as it could be wonderful. Scotch Egg, Burger, Pork Shoulder, and Meatloaf were also good. All in all, improved service and retooling of the pasta dish - and I'd give Hatch another star.

I received a gift certificate for The Hatch a few months ago, and although we had made reservations a couple of times, we had to cancel due to other obligations. Finally, on Saturday, January 20, we were fortunate enough to visit the restaurant with friends who were celebrating their 29th wedding anniversary. We had made reservations weeks in advance for 6:30 pm, considering how challenging it is to get in during business hours. We arrived a few minutes ahead of time and were seated relatively close to the front door. Despite my usual indifference, the evening was chilly, blustery, and rainy, making things slightly uncomfortable for the two hours we spent there. Having spent the day wine tasting, we opted to skip cocktails or wines and stuck with water and one Diet Coke. Not the most exciting choice, I know. The drink menu looked appealing, but like many eateries, it was somewhat overpriced. Although we had considered bringing a bottle of wine, we decided against it. Corkage was $25 or waived if you bought a second bottle while dining. We began with a few appetizers; John, pouring tastings at Glunz Family Winery, recommended the mushroom, and we also ordered cornbread to start our meal. The mushroom was a nicely sized Lion's Mane with a molasses BBQ sauce and topped with a nut/seed crumble. While it was good, the pickled veggies (cucumbers, celery, and onions) on the plate didn't complement the dish well; their hard and acidic (vinegar) taste clashed with the flavors. The cornbread was good with honey butter, but I found it slightly on the dry side, causing it to crumble when trying to add the honey butter. Nevertheless, the taste was delightful. With appetizers behind us, we listened to the waiter, who, in my opinion, wasn't very knowledgeable about the menu (for instance, he didn't know what the sauce on the mushroom was). The Saturday special was Wagyu Tri-Tip Wellington, and after contemplating our choices for a few minutes, our group ordered Chicken-Fried Wagyu Tri-Tip, Grilled Baja Sea Bass, Pork Chop, and I opted for the special. According to those who had them, the sea bass and pork chop were both very good. I tried a bite of the sea bass, and while it was nice, it was a bit fishy for my liking; however, the potatoes were crunchy and tasty. The Chicken-Fried Wagyu Tri-Tip was substantial, but it was mentioned that it was overcooked around the edges, with just a very light pink inside. As for the Wellington, it was good--a nice piece of rare tri-tip in a duxelles. It was a generous portion, but what didn't impress was the side that looked like someone had scooped out the inside of a squash, cooked it, and placed it on a plate with some vinegary onions on top. The seeds from the squash were unpleasant, and the squash itself was disappointing. It looked nothing like the dish at the table next to us, and that diner also expressed dissatisfaction with it. I'm not quite sure what the intention of this side was. We decided to skip dessert after the meal. My girlfriend hoped it was just an "off night" for The Hatch; maybe it was. However, at this moment, I don't plan on spending that sort of money there again or visiting in the near future. It was quite disappointing, considering how this establishment had been built up; it just didn't live up to the hype surrounding it. I hope your experience is better. Can't give half stars because I'd score a 2.5 but will give the eatery the benefit of the doubt and give it 3 stars.

Everything is above and beyond delicious here. Like you know you go to a restaurant and people say it's like a staple it's good..Fresh but not unique or really spectacular. This place is a 5.5! This place is a culinary experience and it blew me away how above and beyond they can make something so traditional like meatloaf spectacular. The cornbread in cast iron was the best we have ever had and we are from texas and Georgia and LA. The fried chicken was unique and get it before it sells out. Portions are huge! Make sure you make reservations before you come into town!!!!! Cocktails are 10/10!!!

Hatch was good- we arrived late and most of the chicken was gone but they managed to get us the last one. It's a festive environment and both couples and families will feel comfortable. Great music selection playing. The cocktails were particularly good. Food wise, I think poultry and veggies are their forte. Maybe skip the burger. I felt mine was overcooked. Maybe I should have asked for medium because my medium well was more like charred. This is a high caliber place overall. Not cheap.

Came here for the vibes and of course the food! I'm always trying new things out and tasting my favorites with my family, so this place was a must try after hearing about their fried chicken. Ambiance was live, amazing, and unique. We sat in the back where it looked like they had old whisky bottles as lanterns. Loved the look! We tried the cornbread and the pork belly. I would have ordered double of the pork belly if I would have known... cornbread and pork belly is by far a 5! Shrimp and grits with meat - I've had plenty before and this was a little much on the tomato side. The sausage was basically 2 pieces. The shrimp was ok. I would have had less tomato. 2.5 stars The fried chicken was ok. I LOVE fried chicken and in fact my family is the same. I felt like the accustomed taste of the overpowering honey and whatever batter they used, overtook the entire fried chicken experience. 3 stars Overall, service was nice, not a big wine selection after tasting in Paso, and food was ok.

Great food and service. Get the banana cream pie. It's the best I've ever had. The crust was made with shredded coconut, genius! Loved the texture.

The hatch is a great little spot downtown paso. We got super lucky with a 5 minute wait on a Friday night. It's definitely a good idea to make reservations in advance. We ordered the corn bread, mushrooms, Brussels sprouts, chicken tenders, pork belly, shrimp and grits and rotisserie chicken. We finished with the banana cream pie and chocolate cream pie. They have a ton of fun cocktails but my fave was just dew it. Service was wonderful.

It's a nice casual place featuring a variety of comfort foods. The best dishes were the pork belly, steamed artichoke, Brussel sprouts and mushrooms. I liked the meatloaf but didn't love it. It's kind of sweet. Everyone else loved their dishes and drinks. They kind of tried to Rush us into ordering the main dish and get us out the door since it's crowded. The waitress started asking about dessert even though my husband was only halfway done eating the main course. It was kind of unprofessional.

This restaurant / bar was really unique with a variety of unusual drinks and dynamic foods. It's nice to explore new spins on food you've had before along with things you've never had. I wish we could have tried the banana cream pie but we were advised they didn't set up properly. The chocolate cream pie was great as an alternative!

We sat at the bar and the bartender wasn't that friendly. The chicken was just ok. Wine list is very minimal. We were told from the bartender that they are known for their cocktails. We are in wine country- can't you have a better wine list? Also the hostess was straying off the bar area and sprayed all over the fruit and herbs that are on the bar. Gross. There are better restaurants in Paso

Surprised and disappointed experience with confusing Menu items didn't taste fresh and were salty to taste. It supposed Michelin Guide restaurant but something was incorrect. Perhaps cocktails? was delicious but.... Service were nice and ambiance was good. Glad to experience here and we don't have to come back!

We had the BEST experience at this restaurant. The waitperson couldn't have been more accommodating when we informed her I have an unusual SERIOUS food allergy. She went and read the recipe ingredients for each item on the menu, returned to our table, and said, 'the head chef is coming to talk to you.' Which HE DID!!! He explained in great detail which items on the menu I could actually eat and he could not have been more gracious. When our food arrived it was evident why this restaurant is on the Michelin guide. It was absolutely delicious--my Hatch fried chicken, my husband's meatloaf with a poached egg and Hatch catsup. The Hatch deserves 5 stars!!!!

If you plan to eat at the hatch, make sure you bring an appetite - the food is incredible! I went with a friend and we split a number of food items, and although I had to be rolled out, I was rolled out with a smile. I will 100% be back here next time I am in town
