“I love Reimer’s candies 🍭 and gift 🎁 they have nice place in the front and you get to sit and enjoy watched the water fall and you get to enjoy ☺️ yourself🥰😍 and people are very nice”

“I've traveled a lot to the Seattle area and wasn't sure what to expect for oysters, but they were exceptional, they get them fresh on Friday and they are perfectly briny, the wines are good, also had the bread and butter. Quiet spot, shucking your own oysters I thought was fun, but you can get them shucked as well.”

“Such an awesome and welcoming atmosphere. Owners treat everyone like family. Hard to pass on such an awesome local selection of draft beers/cider/seltzer/wine. Accommodating to all. Such a fun place to spend an hour or a few.”

“My husband selected Fat Cats for lunch on vacation because he used to be a regular 30+ years ago. I can't rave enough about our experience! We actually got there between the lunch and dinner rushes and were met by extremely friendly crew! The diner was pleasantly decorated and the seating was comfortable. However nothing prepared me for my meal. I ordered the ahi burger. It was perfectly seasoned, cooked, and accompanied. Definitely will stop by every visit to this part of Cali!!!”

“Fantastic Gem right next to the beautiful Avila Beach”

“So fun on Christmas day. very busy but still professional”

“We decided to try them on a whim, simply because I was curious to finally try escargot. Everything was so delicious! We just tried them today, and they are now on my list of absolute favorite places! The food is so delicious, the staff are amazing, and the views are stunning. 10/10. I can’t wait to come back!”

“👍🏻 A great place to hang out on a Sunday afternoon and listen to live music and have a meal”

“The upgrade is gorgeous
It’s been a few years since I’ve been here but the last time it was a dive. Fun live music. Good drinks. And pet friendly!!”

“I love this place! Wonderful ambience, great food and good value!”

“This spot wasn’t the easiest to get to with limited parking, but to be fair, it was a sunny Saturday so crowds were expected. The coffee and ice cream did not disappoint! We used to visit Kraken when they were in Pismo and were surprised to learn they’d moved, but luckily found them at their new location. Enjoyed a great view with my cup of coffee while wrapping up some work!”

“Good pizza. Nice staff quick service”

“Friendly atmosphere!! Cute beach decor!! Try their cinnful-carmelicious latte. So yummy!! Had breakfast there too!! We sat outside facing the ocean.....what could be better then that!!!”

“Delicious! Amazing service! Vibes unmatched. We got 4 different sandwiches and we all loved them. 10 out of 10 ⭐ "High"Ly recommend😁🥪💨💨💨”

“The owner, Kiko, is incredibly passionate in his description and recommendations. Everything was topnotch! Good sized portions and a fair price for the quality you get.
Splendid!”

“We came in today from NCounty to check it out. All the IG posts make my mouth water! We got two shaved ice, an ube/Taro smoothie and a spam musubi. Everything was so so so good but the customer service was even better. Very sweet and welcoming staff running this place. Will absolutely be back!”

“We were immediately greeted and seated (we made reservations online in advance)... our waitress greeted us within a short period of time and took our cocktail order... I'm happy they offer my favorite wine, Austin Hope Cabernet by the glass... I've only known Ember to offer it!... My son ordered a Ni Rada? Martini that tasted how I imagine a household cleaner to taste, he reluctantly sucked it down... we didn't bother to complain but we wouldn't recommend it... he later ordered a Paper Plane Martini which he liked better... After reading other reviews, I see we didn't get the initial bread w/Ricotta offering, probably for the best since we've cut down on gluten and wanted to try a pasta dish... We started with a (not pictured) POLPETTE (large meatball) and it was moist, flavorful, & yummy... alongside PAPPARDELLE RAGU, I was hesitant about it due to not being a fan of lamb... however, it was cooked perfectly without any hint of the game flavor I dislike... my only complaint is there isn't a gluten-free pasta substitute option... It may not be Michelin standard... but it would be great to have some gluten-free Ancient Harvest pasta with any of those yummy ragu/pasta sauces available for the many people with gluten sensitivities... MARY'S 1/2 CHICKEN was flavorful and yummy with the silky mashed potatoes... and the melt-in-your-mouth OSSO BUCCO and tasty polenta did not disappoint!... The atmosphere is cozy with home-style elegance... From the initial welcoming greeting, the friendly & timely food service, the "in-tune" staff that directs you to the restroom without having to ask, the constant spotting of Nate's friendly smile as he ensures his operations are running smooth and the thanks for your patronage as you leave... our experience was pleasantly memorable... This was my 2nd visit to Nate's... the first time I had the pork chop which was flavorful, tender and simply superb... We will return!”

“always GREAT! Very cool nw menu every month!”

“Been looking for good barilla tacos. I finally I did!! Delicious, quality, portion size and price I highly recommend them”

“Great service and delicious food. Especially enjoyed the bacon and egg chilaquiles! Will be back soon!”

“Amazing food that is very inspiring, unique and delicious. Nothing else like it in the area. A must for any foodie who appreciates well thought out dishes.”

“Really liked my two visits to Ziggy's! The staff was friendly and the food was hitting all the right strides for a comfort vegan meal. Between my two visits I was able to try the nashville chicken sandwich, the crunch wrap supreme, their version of animal style fries, a milkshake, the horchata, onion rings, a cauliflower bowl, and some taquitos. All of the food was really good and had no complaints about it. It's great that Ziggy's commits to being a fully vegan restaurant and being one of two only vegan restaurants in SLO. Will definitely be coming here next time I am in the area.”

“Great Burgers and Fries..nice people and very clean..love it..will make a stop next time..💓💓💓”
