San Luis Obispo
Louisa’s Place, the best ever
breakfast and lunch since 1958
Longevity is typically a rare
and hard-won battle in the
restaurant industry, and one of
those precious few is Louisa’s Place,
a classic fifties-style diner and a
San Luis Obispo favorite since it
opened in 1958 as the Best Ever
Grill. The diner was purchased in
1976 by Louise Webb, and became
an instant success as Louisa’s. The
Sweeney family, kept the name
when they purchased the business
from Webb. The current owner,
Aubrey Pyle took over from the
Sweeney family in 2019.
Louisa’s has won as the “New
Times” Best Breakfast in SLO
County over fifteen times, and the
Fifties-style diner
in downtown SLO
is a local favorite
“Mustang News” Cal Poly students
best breakfast four years in a row.
The eatery regularly received out-
standing Yelp reviews, and has Trip
Advisor’s Award of Excellence.
Good, homestyle cooking at Louisa’s Place.
