23 Best American Restaurants near Cayucos

“My husband and I had the Turkey wraps today. Great flavors but too skimpy on the Turkey.“

“Always great food with friendly and attentive service!“

“Very lovely atmosphere. Food is good but wish there were healthier options, such as no deep frying of potatoes. Lobster rolls were delicious but only 2 and smallish and again deep fried. Service was a bit slow at times, and parking was difficult due to event that weekend. Overall would recommend.“

“By far the absolute best!! Best price aswell. I would rather drive to Cayucos than have lil hut were the boys that work there are rude! and also very expensive. Best Philippine clams!!! Best fried fish!!!“

“good chowder chowder great customer service i recommend this place 5 stars“

“We just happened to be staying in town on Valentine’s Day and they had a special set menu. Ohhh so good, we got the scallops, salad and desert. I could literally live on the salad. The risotto was so good! We ate upstairs and it was really cozy with the heaters and the nighttime atmosphere. The bar was lively and fun, our service was a bit slow but everything is so fresh! I can understand it is made to order. My only complaint, I’m so sorry but, I am a spicy Bloody Mary “snob” and the one here was not good at all. But that’s it! We loved everything else. Now to the owners who reply to reviews, I would have come here with all 1 star reviews just from reading your replies!!! Whoever you are I spent an hour reading reviews and your priceless replies! I adore you 😂 But honestly, really good food and very fun and great atmosphere. Back sooner than later♥️“

“As locals, this is our hidden gem! The variety of food is simple, but the flavors are amazing. Food portions are more than enough, and the friendly-family service makes you feel welcome every time. Don’t miss this special spot when traveling through Highway 41 West, as it is a must for lunch or dinner. Great specials when available, & tasty local beer and wine selections. Also, they are dog friendly and outside seating is a plus on those beautiful days. Cheers!“

“Nice place but... We visited this beautiful restaurant on July 30th For drinks and appetizers. We sat outside on the patio and it was lovely, the food was delicious and the wine very enjoyable. We recognized that we were seated at the table for about 2 1/2 - 3 hours so we continued to order appetizers and dessert while we were enjoying our wine and we also planned on leaving a generous tip. Toward the end of our stay as we were ordering our final glass of wine and dessert and were told by the waitress that she could not serve us anymore alcohol and and it has something to do with the ABC but she could not explain exactly what the issue was. Being in my 60's and never being denied service in my entire life, I was quite taken aback. We were served the dessert but no more alcohol. We paid our bill and walked down the street to another establishment where we continued to have our final glass of wine and watch the sunset and then walk back to the hotel. I'm still baffled by what occurred.“

“Best burger in town“

“Absolutely love staying at this resort, and the Clubhouse Grill is a large part of that. Lively atmosphere, always friendly servers, and excellent food! Fun to eat outside on the patio while watching live music or golfers (depending on the day), or to eat inside watching sports on the large screen TVs. My husband generally gets the rib eye, and I have a few different favorites.“

“Great service Great food Good selection of beer & wine“

“We enjoyed a fabulous meal at Windows on the Water. The dining room has a spectacular view. The service was helpful and attentive. The food was amazing! I enjoyed a poached pear salad and the halibut. My husband had fresh oysters and the scallops. Every bite was delicious and perfectly prepared. We will definitely be back next time we visit Morro Bay.“

“Great view great food and friendly service“

“Stopped on our way home from S.L.O… Food is great and the Staff is always kind.“

“We stay at the Inn at Morro Bay often, and it’s such a treat to have a great restaurant right at the hotel. I’ve eaten here many times and it’s always consistently good. I especially love that they have a dog-friendly patio so I can bring my pup along. The bay views are absolutely beautiful, and the service is always wonderful.“
