I live in SLO and Firestone's is the major hangout for local college kids. Now me NOT being a college kid, it can get a bit annoying when all you want to do is just sit and enjoy your meal. It's loud, crowded and the staff aren't big on smiling, since they are so rushed trying to get everyone's orders out. That being said, the food is good. Burgers are the bomb, fries out of this world and the steak salad, heavenly. If you go during the week, during the day (avoid lunch time) or later at night, you will avoid the crowds. But go on a weekend and forget it! You will be waiting in a line with a ton other people who are hungry!
