A.J. Spurs was originally opened in Templeton by Alan Grimley, Jay Walsh and J.G. King in 1989. The Templeton building contained a great deal of charm being first built in 1887, complete with a trUe Old West Saloon. The restaurant was so successful that the trio opened additional locations in Buellton, Grover Beach and Marina in subsequent years. King eventually bought out his partners to become the sole owner of the restaurants. In the summer of 2006, J.G. King sold three of the locations to Milt Guggia Enterprises, Santa Maria, however King continues to own and operate the Marina location. Known for the quality and consistency of their beef, A.J.
