“That was the best omelet I've had in a long time. The French fries were perfect, also the best I've had in a long time. The only downside was the fact that it was raining and we had to eat inside. The acoustics inside are awful. Go when it's sunny and eat outside. It's located within a harbor that has plenty of charm.“
“This is one of those "hidden gem" spots! We've even stayed at the San Luis Inn that is right next door and hadn't noticed it. It is down the hill and next door to the pro shop for the golf course. There are large menu boards up next to the entrance and above the bar. You place your order at the bar and then go find a seat. We found a great spot in the shade outside and didn't have any problems with insects. Our lunches (salads and sandwiches) were good and tasty. The view of the ocean was great! A nice, relaxing spot for lunch, especially during the week (apparently it is a lot busier on weekends).“
“As a single solo traveler finding places that are both safe and fun can be a challenge. The whole crew at Mr. Rick’s and the custom house make it easy to let loose and have a good time. Most recently I was served by Angie, keith, and Austin and had the best weekend visiting my favorite place. The live music and fun atmosphere make this place more memorable. Through and through a great experience highly recommend.“
“Friendly fast service. Delicious food, and a beautiful view on the patio. Thanks Jordyn! We had the western BBQ burger and sweet potato fries. They're Rancho was amazing! We've been coming to Avila for years bit this was our first time here and we will be back!“
“Rachel was super sweet and very helpful and attentive, the crew here was kind and friendly willing to help even if we weren't there table. 5/5The beet salad was definitely shareable dressing was alittle tart for my taste, but fresh, and beets cooked perfect. 4/5The crispy calamari filled its plate and the aoili was yummy. 5/5The fish and chips were ok, battered nicely but catfish a bit soft and mushy for my taste, however, we really enjoyed the fritz 3/5Ambiance is kept dim, but warm for 815pm. ??“
“Crab soup was wonderful. Scallops were fine/nothing special. The purple sweet potatoes were pureed and tasted like snotty, runny baby food.The swordfish served with bordelaise sauce didn't work. The crabcake lillikoi pepper jelly was way too overwhelming.Sadly disappointed.“
“Seriously good fish n chips. We were trying to decide between a few places in town and definitely made the right call with this place - the fish was super fresh and had excellent flavor & the perfect amount of seasoning and batter. Perfectly done fries with A+ flavor and crisp. The folks working there were friendly, and the price was en pointe. I was impressed with the friendliness; in a touristy town with high turnover, warmth & personality is pretty rare. It was awesome to be treated with smiles and hospitality. Love this place.Also - the seaweed salad was downright excellent ??“
“Fantabulous service, staff and food. Just stopped in for cocktails as I haven't been back since middle of pandemic for a housemates birthday a year ago. So got briefed on new and revisited this old cocktail, Tye Old fashioned. Boyfriend got a glass of wine and ordered us jalapeño poppers, so good! Great ambience, bar looks like it's under the ocean waves.“
“A+. This place was amazing! The steak, the brussel sprouts, the service. All of it. It was all fantastic! I highly recommend stopping in and giving this place a try. We stopped in while on vacation from Oklahoma and we were happy that we did.“
“We got lucky and were able to get a seat at the bar. Staff is friendly and attentive. Service is quick, Food didn't take long and was all delicious! Halibut was prepared if I wasn't so full I would have had the apple bread pudding for dessert. Would definitely go back again!“
“Mistura is Amazing, very highly recommended. I have been a frequent customer at Mistura over the last few years and it never disappoints me. Everything on their menu is delicious! Ambiance is great, very friendly staff and specially the chef and owner Nicola Allegretta is always very kind and makes us feel welcome every time.Mistura is a modern Peruvian restaurant that offers traditional elements of Peruvian Cuisine by using Peruvian ingredients and also locally sourced, natural and organic ingredients.My favorite dishes are Arroz con Marisco, Escabeche and Muy Machito (Fresh White Seabass Fillet cooked with spicy Aji Amarillo, Clams, Mussels, Shrimps, Calamari and White Wine served with Peruvian White Rice) love it! ? and Rompe Muelle one of their cebiche. Everything is so DELICIOUS.“
“This restaurant was so amazing! Upon arrival Chris greeted us with a smile and sat us with him by the window. We ordered filet bites to start with as an appetizer which was so tasty and fresh. Chris guided us towards selecting dinner and he sure didn't disappoint. He recommended the SeaVenture seafood dish and it was so fresh with zero fishy flavors throughout the meal. The swordfish was delectable as well. The caeser salad came with the best thick dressing I've had and even better than the Madonna inns steakhouse! The salad comes with two pieces of fresh anchovy on it sliced thin and so fresh. Dessert was just unbelievable; the Bananas Foster was even better than that of Commanders Palace in New Orleans! Please come on by and request to sit with Chris he was so on it!“
“Excellent steakhouse and seafood. Incredible views of the ocean and sundowns. It can get busy, so make reservations to avoid the wait. We arrive early to enjoy a cocktail before dinner. I highly recommend the surf and turf. Another one of our favorite places in Pismo.“
“Excellent stop for the most freshest seafood! Hubby's fish and chips were off the charts. My "Melted Shrimp Tacos" were great. The shrimp was the bomb, but next time, I would ask for no cheese on the taco. Shrimp and cheese is a no-go in my world.“
“This was our first time. The burgers were fantastic. The service was even better. I discovered the separate milk shake menu with multiple delicious combinations for great shakes. The who experience was terrific and a real find. We will certainly be returning.“
“While I am unable to truly post a review on the “atmosphere” due to it pouring rain and I was the only customer there, the umbrellas (clearly meant to provide shade from the sun) were a welcome cover to the sudden downpour and so was the tri tip sandwich. Delicious! It was a great meal following my amazing experience ATV riding on the Dunes. Combining for a brilliant start to my day. Rain and wind can’t ruin a great thing! Also the owner threw in a complimentary Clam Chowder, probably based on the fact that I supported them on a day when due to the weather, he wouldn’t be very busy. The Chowder was excellent, flavorful and filling! Remember though this spot is outside seating only, so be prepared for rain or shine!“
“A friendly greeting at the door. My lunch as well as my friends' were both excellent. Wait and bus staff very well trained. I will definitely return, although probably not in the evening, because the noise level is pretty high. Really delighted to have this restaurant in SLO.“
“Saw the billboard on 101 so we thought we'd stop in and give it a try. Excellent waitress; knowledgeable and professional. I had Clam chowder and it was outstanding, Then I had the calamari strips, which were pretty good but the batter did not stick when you cut off a piece, so I had to scramble to get a bite of both. My wife had the Coconut Shrimp. It was cooked in old oil and was way to brown, not golden. As well, we both could taste the older, going off flavor of the coconut and macadamia nuts. Excellent wine list with fair pricing. If we come back, we'll probably go for the Crab.“

“Being going here for years. Great service, great people, excellent food. What we love about the food is it is made to order and when busy the kitchen may run slow but the food quality and taste is always worth the wait. Have some mint tea and enjoy the ambiance.“
“Best Thai food I've had in 20 years of trying various restaurants. Ordering off a kiosk is weird, but they prepped our drinks before we were even done ordering. Service was fast and food was delicious. Chose options on Pad Thai that I hadn't tried anyplace else: mild spice. 10/10. Chicken Satay was crisp outside, tender inside:10/10. Peanut sauce was perfect 10/10. Curry was very good. 9/10.Dietary restrictions: Options to remove / exclude ingredients.“
“Not too much vegan options but the ones they have are flavor packed. I've tried the vegan pho and the broth is perfect every time. The Shaken tofu is flavor packed and the vegetable spring roll is rolled to perfection. Big fan of this place.“
“HANNDS DOWN my favorite place in San Luis Obispo county ! I’m not local I live in Santa Maria but I work locally at Quailty tinting and signs my job offers MVP lunches and when I get the opportunity I take my lunches here without a doubt the food here is TOP NOTCH ! I get the California burger and spicy chicken sandwich and 10/10 the food is always on point ! Fries are crispy ! Ranch is 10/10! I love this place customer service is always perfect I love eating here and appreciate the quality food 100% recommended“
“Our favorite spot for Mexican in the five cities. The ceviche & tostadas are authentic & delicious. The shrimp soup is spot on. I also like their asada plate, can’t go wrong with their in house hot sauce. Oh! And the micheladas aren’t from a bottle, made fresh. Highly recommended.“
“This restaurant was in walking distance to our Hotel. I ordered the Pork Chop dinner with a Sparkling Pom beverage. It was cooked perfectly good and had great flavor!The food, service and view were amazing and will definitely recommend and return at my next trip.“
“Freaking delicious! I got a Medium Bowl, with Albacore, Ahi and Yellowtail dressed with Yuza Ceviche. Loved the topping additions, I go wild, don't skip out on the Mango Pineapple Salsa + Crispy Garlic! My boyfriend, Travis devoured his bowl as well. It was utter silence the first 10 bites, so yummy, super filing and fresh. Everything was fire. Def will be back!“
“If you like seafood, this is your spot. From clam chowder, lobster rolls, fish and chips, this place has it all. They have a good amount of indoor and outdoor seating, and a whole wall of self serve beers on tap. On weekends, they do have a brunch menu available, but the standard menu is also served every day. They have two types of lobster rolls: The Original and a Jalapeno LimeWe got one of each and each roll was stuffed full of big chunks of lobster. The original was served either with drawn butter or a garlic herb mayo, but per the suggestion of the cashier, we ordered it dressed in butter with the mayo on the side. The rolls are $30 each but do come with thicc cut steak fries. You can opt to sub out the fries for house made chips if you like more of a crunch. The jalapeno lime roll was very light in flavor, and could have used more butter or a mayo to dress it up a bit. The bun was nicely buttered and toasted though, which helped. I love that it was topped with crispy fried onions for a little extra flava and crunch!If there is one dish you're going to order, make it the poke nachos. It's super saucy so some bites can be a little overwhelming. A little less sauce would make this even better, but overall, highly recommend giving it a try! The chunks of ahi tasted fresh, and I loved that they added avocado and seaweed salad. This was so refreshing over the wonton chips. I opted for the fisherman's catch so I could have a little bit of everything. This came with 1 large piece of cod fish, lots of shrimp, and a few strips of calamari over fries. This was served with tartar sauce, cocktail sauce and lemon wedges. Normally I would squeeze lemon over all my fried seafood but it didn't even need it! Idk what they do with the batter/seasoning but I love loved loved that all the fried seafood had a citrussy flavor to it already. This would be a good sized plate to share! The staff were all really nice and attentive and we loved the vibes of the outdoor seating. Midway through our meal, a guy went on the stage to play some live music, so that was a nice touch. If I'm ever back in Pismo, I'm making it a point to come back for more eats!“
“Had dinner at Fins a couple of nights ago with my family. What an awesome experience! Miriam was our server. She was super friendly and gave us awesome recommendations. Great drinks, great food and awesome service. The Blackened Sea Bass was by far the most amazing dish I’ve tried in this area. You have to try the clam chowder with their seafood topping and garlic bread! We definitely can’t wait to come back and try more amazing dishes while enjoying live music at our new favorite spot.“
“The food was amazing! The chicken Caesar had a great crouton-chicken-lettuce ratio, I was at the end of the salad and still had croutons and chicken left for my last bites which most restaurants lack. However, what the heck kids chicken tenders? $11 for two tenders and a few fries is absurd!! Service was very quick. I went at night and there are no heaters outside even though 75% of their seating is outdoors. Came in early April so I would say bring a few extra layers if you're coming around this time and get cold easily.“
“We chose Marisol for dinner after stopping for a cocktail the evening before. Great views, comfortable atmosphere, but our server Jason was the main reason for the return visit. We were not disappointed and we watched the sun set from a beautiful outdoor setting.“
“Service here was amazing. I forget our servers name but it was a lady wearing glasses. She continuous checked on us and made sure our cups was always filled with water. I had the rib eye sandwich, which came deconstructed and you'd have to assemble it yourself, and cup of clam chowder. Food was just as good as the service. The rib eye sandwich was cooked to my liking and the clam chowder was amazing.“
“Avery our server was friendly, the drinks were great, the food was fresh, hot, and tasty.Tuesday night is all you can eat Dungeness ? If you like crab it is your go to spot!Second time back to Cali since 2022. Spyglass was our go to for take out breakfast everyday! Crab Benedict, sautéed spinach, and fruit cup were our daily choice! Two thumbs up! The food was hot fresh and tasty! Mason was a joy every morning ?“
“I go to pismo every other week for work and I've been clam chowder hopping and this one has the best chunks of clam they give you little packets of Cholula along with your chowder. I never thought to add that to my clam chowder but I would add small drops and stir a small section to my satisfaction and oh man, I'm always going to eat hot sauce with my clam chowder now. The people here are great“
“Wonderful food, view, and service. We sat at the bar and the ladies serving us were delightful. Our food came out so fast and the locals were so pleasant to chat with. Definitely better than any touristy place downtown. I almost don't want to post for fear it'll become overrun, but they were so nice I want them to do well. Thank you from Wisconsin!“
