“Sylvester's is definitely an iconic restaurant here in Los Osos. The food is solid, and the atmosphere fits in well with the relaxed beachy vibe of Los Osos. I took a star away for two reasons: 1) the online ordering system often does not work, and 2) this place feels expensive for a burger joint.“

“Los Olivos Wine Merchant offers a delightful experience for wine enthusiasts. With an extensive selection of local wines and knowledgeable staff, it's a haven for discovering new favorites. The inviting atmosphere and occasional tastings add to the charm, making it a must-visit destination in the heart of Santa Ynez Valley's wine country.“

“Good food and great service. Small little cozy restaurant right next to the bay. Service was friendly from entering in to leaving. Shrimp tacos were tasty. Hamburger was a bit over cooked, but better over cooked than under. Cocktail was tasty but a lot of ice. Fries were perfect and the ranch is tasty. Great views of the bay.“

“A friend brought me here for the chocolate chip cookie and it was amazing! Perfectly gooey on the inside with a crispy outside.I also had a breakfast sandwich and a latte, which were pretty good, but slightly overpriced. My total bill for a cookie, sandwich and latte was $28! The sandwich and latte were good, but not as amazing as the cookie.The staff were very friendly and the space is easily accessible.“

“Delicious food, exceptional service, and a beautiful view near the Rock. What more could you ask for? We'd heard a lot of buzz about Morro Grill, so on our most recent trip (April 2024) we put them on the list. They will now always be one of our go-to's in future trips! The pet-friendly restaurant is on the 2nd floor, but there is an elevator in addition to stairs. We were greeted warmly by two of the staff members who, throughout our meal, took fantastic care of us. Food: I had the 1/2 rack of the St. Louis Ribs and they were some of the most tender and flavorful I've ever had! The plate comes with garlic toast, cole slaw and another side -- I chose the house chips, and they were crispy and delicious. My husband is still raving about his Baja grilled shrimp tacos! They come three to an order, and he finished every bite. Our friend chose the Greek Power Bowl and also finished every bite. Honestly, by that time it was nap time and with that gorgeous view on a perfect sunny day, we didn't want to leave. We can't wait to return!“

“The inside of the boat was lovely, servers were friendly and the clam chowder, sandwiches, salad and bloody Mary's were great; however, it was a rainy day and when we boarded, they notified us the boat would not be leaving the dock and we'd receive $20/pp refund. There was no explanation of why we weren't leaving the dock and we weren't given a heads up in advance. It would have been nice to have been given notice and a choice to still attend or reschedule.“

“Love the Irish, Italian, Swiss, and jalapeno sausages. All excellent!!! Great service, reasonable price. Ocean view! Can't miss this place if you are visiting near Cayucos. They also have sandwiches and stuff. I'm a local and always just get the sausage!“

“Me and my wife stayed at the nearby morrow bay inn and wanted a traditional country breakfast. Carla's did not disappoint. Food was good, fast and well priced. We stayed and purchased a few things from the gift shop. We met the owner who was super nice, and I could tell genuinely loved what she did. You can allways tell a place is good if the locals go. And watching for a few minutes its clear they all come here and the staff all know them and genuinely care about people. I will definitely come back many times in the future.“

“One of the best places on the Central Coast. This hidden gem is on the 41, between Downtown Atown and Morro Bay. This renovated garage/barn turn modern ranch chic is the home to a fresh/natural/modern culinary experience. Once you enter you are greeted and have menu's on a little table at the door. When you're ready, you go up and order. I ordered the Rock Burger (Beyond Meat and no Bacon), comes with fries, the Bahn Mi Tots and Beer Battered Onion Rings. The Rock Burger is what you want. Beautiful fluffy Brioche bun from Back Porch Bakery, Central coast creamery blue cheese bringing the funk/creamy/saltness to cut through the burger, the caramelized onions for sweetness, the fresh mixed greens for that earthy bite, and whole grain mustard sauce for a little more acidity. The fries are done to salty, crispy, yet soft inside perfection. The Beer battered onion rings are served the a beautiful house made ranch and bbq sauce. Cooked perfect, just wish there was more. And the Star of the show, Bahn Mi Tots. The mix of tots, fresh vegetables, creamy sauce, soft meets crunch, vinegar balanced by fatty creaminess of the sauce, gives you full Umami! Just an awesome concept, that works to the fullest! The power went out while we were there with our friends from out of town and instead of kicking us out, they brought over candles (which was made by someone dinning in at the time) and asked if we needed anything. This is truly a first class operation and am honored to say they are in my own backyard. We've introduced many to them and we'll introduce many more.*What happened to the CHEESE CURDS?*“

“We had a snack and a few drinks. Met some locals that were playing pool.Super friendly atmosphere, made us feel like we were home.Vincent was our server. He did an excellent job even when it started getting busy he was right on top of things.Thank you!Someday we will be back. :)“

“As a local, I can say without question that The Foghorn Brewhouse is a fine establishment in our community, run by the most wonderful people of warmth, hospitality and character. The food is excellent, we especially love the tri-tip and buffalo chicken sandwiches and the variety of drinks is on-point. 5-stars all around, highly recommend!!!“

“My family and I dined at House of Juju in November 2023. We were only in Morro Bay for a few days (Monday and Tuesday) and ate at another establishment the day before; having a horrible experience. When I looked online at the hours for House of Juju for Tuesday it showed they were closed. I was SO disappointed as I was really looking forward to having a delicious meal here. My family and I went down to the water and noticed House of Juju appeared to be open. I called the restaurant to confirm and spoke with Maddy. She was so friendly and confirmed they were open on Tuesday as a trial. I was thrilled! My family and I went in for dinner and had Maddy as our server. She was just as pleasant as she had been on the phone and provided excellent service. We were able to enjoy a delicious meal and watch the sunset from the back of the restaurant. The Juju Bleu burger is AMAZING, along with the clam chowder, and the flatbread! This will continue to be an establishment we will frequent while in town.“

“The food was amazing. My husband ordered the fried mozzarella app. It was good but the bread and oil dip was really good! My husband got the lasagna and he enjoyed it and finished it. My girls (7 and 9) got the kids butter penne with Parmesan. They liked jt. I got the chicken Marsala over fettuccine noodles. It was outstanding. If you like Marsala.“
