“muy rica comida y el personal amable“

“Very very very delicious.. it’s been a minute where I leave a restaurant fully 100% satisfied and I was very happy and will be coming back. Just wish there was alcohol but they are in the process of getting their license. I got the shrimp cocktail and a taco de camarón de Culiacán and my husband got the 3 tostadas de ceviche which was served in a bowl with tostadas on the side! The best idea! We will be back hopefully next time we can pair it with a miche ??“

“The poke nachos and the Mahi Mahi were so good and do not miss out on the clam chowder. It was amazing. Sadly, the fried calamari had no flavor. Service was mostly good. However, we had to flag down our server more than once for refills. The attention after we got our food wasn't the best. Overall, a 7 out of 10. Will definitely try it again.“

“This restaurant has excellent food. It has better food than some of the more higher priced restaurants in the area. The food is always fresh. They have the best house dressing. I’ve tasted in a long time. Fresh seafood always done well .Service was a little slow due to the fact that they did not have enough servers hard to get good people to work anymore.“

“Food was delicious and fresh!“

“Yes, you will need a reservation, but they were kind enough to reserve a special table for us to honor our 10th anniversary! We were greeted with smiles and staff was quick to offer either still or sparkling water [nice]. Our water pourer, Maddie, was ahead of our thirst all evening and our glasses never were empty [we went through three bottles!]. Our server, Haley, was attentive and professional. She very capably poured the Justin Isosceles and went over the menu to answer any questions. My tuna tataki was exceptional...it may be an appetizer, but it was incredibly tasty and filling. The lady thoroughly enjoyed her local sablefish [first time] and its yummy accompaniments. The wine list is strong and reasonably priced. Beautiful views of Pismo Beach enhance the dining experience. The restaurant is on point, clean top notch restrooms and obvious elegance. We couldn't believe there wasn't any dress code...folks showed up looking like they just walked off the beach without a wink. Ahh...the beach life in Pismo is quite relaxing.“

“Fantastic Seafood, Friendly staff, Great atmosphere family friendly.“

“Absolutely perfect from the moment you step foot into the hotel! Favorite part has to be the views and private spa on the patio❣️“

“We had an amazing meal for my daughter's birthday and our server was great.“

“Absolutely loved the fish and chips! I decided to try Slappy's after checking ratings and was pleasantly pleased. Three nice size pieces of fish that are hand battered,the batter is seasoned and people let me tell you the french fries were insanely out of this world fantastic. The fries look like they have a coating on them but not covered completely in the coating. I know that sounds crazy but it's true my friend and I could not stop eating them so worth the money. I walked up to the side window about 630 it was really good you guys I can't say it enough. There was only one lady working in the kitchen and she was so nice. Go check this place out. They've got a nice little menu of different things not just fish and chips and of course chowder.“

“Love coming here. Staff is always friendly, and attentive. Food is pretty darn good too. :-)“

“Took my mom for lunch. I ordered daily special of lobster chile relleno which came with rice, and it was absolutely delicious. Mom had seafood salad croissant and she loved it. Generous servings and good service. Will definitely be back“

“Just had a very yummy birthday breakfast with my hubby!! Wait staff are very friendly!! Food is delicious!!“

“We've been coming here for 40 years and it's always been a favorite spot for fish and chips and tri tip! The atmosphere is wonderful (patio), and it's the first place that we go for food when visiting the central coast! An absolute must!“

“Great patio , great food and a friendly staff 💜“

“My wife and I had brunch at Vista Steak and Seafood Restaurant. I had the chilaquiles with 2 over easy eggs on top and my wife had the chorizo with eggs. Food was great so was the service I can't forget the view was beautiful.“

“Local goto place for burgers, loaded fries and Baja fish tacos. It's got a dive bar vibe located right across from the splash cafe. Happy hour starts at 2pm!!! $7,$8 margaritis and mai tais and food costs only $7-$8! They allowed us to park our bike outside and the service was wonderful!“

“The food is incredible- it was an explosion of flavor and don’t hesitate to step out of your comfort zone to try something new. 5 out of 5“

“3 piece fish chips very small pieces over seasoned fries. Fish bite wet in mouth with oil. First time here“

“Good food and great atmosphere“

“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!!!“

“Great food Fast service Like eating at my moms Would definitely come back Yum.“

“Excellent service snd food and Million dollar view! We will be back! Jenn was great!“

“Excellent food. A little spendy but certainly delicious. I had an one of the best oyster shooters. I would return.

Parking: Easy in, easy out. This location is in a strip mall.

Kid-friendliness: I wouldn't think so. Small, quiet, and it's sushi, there's that.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes!“

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

“Food was excellent. The standouts were the best fries and clam chowder we’d ever had. The service is fast and the atmosphere is clean and inviting. They are dog friendly and even have a menu just for dogs. Our Maltipoos shared the “Marley and Meat” and loved their meals. We all agreed that Rick’s was our favorite meal of this vacation, and we will be back next time in Avila Beach.“

“We arrived for 5 p.m. Friday evening for patio dining and live music. Pleasantly surprised to be offered free champagne or a glass of wine (from 4-6 pm weekdays)The view was spectacular the service was great and I have recommended to my friends that we should come back on another Friday.“

“Always awesome with great food and good drinks.“

“Our first time here, and we really liked it! We talked a bit with the very nice owner and he said they can make most menu items vegan friendly, including the soups. For protein options you can get tofu or mock duck, and menu items are priced based on the type of protein. We ordered the Pad Thai vegan with tofu, the Gang Musamun (peanut) curry with mock duck and a side cup of white rice, and the Pad Kee Mow with mock duck. Overall, the pad thai was very sweet and probably our least favorite of the local Thai places, but the kiddo loved it. The curry and Pad Kee Mow were super delicious. Be aware the Pad Kee Mow was pretty spicy! If you can't handle spicy, ask to get it mild or something else they'd recommend, but my hubby loved the spice level. Next time I would definitely get tofu instead of the mock duck, but it was worth a try, it tasted a bit too much like a processed mock meat for my taste, but my hubby loved the mock duck in his dish, so to each their own. Looking forward to coming back for more options! Also the inside has a very nice dining atmosphere, with pretty decor and a nice looking bar. We spent under $75 for 3 dishes plus a hot tea.“

“First time here. You have to order off of a huge electronic menu board that's standing in front of you when you walk in.
Give yourself time because it didn't scan or swipe my credit card after many attempts.
I had to get someone to help me.
The lady in front of me was also having problems ordering. She had to ask for assistance.

The food was prepared quickly and was cooked perfectly.“

“Great experience! The owners are amazing and the employees are all respectful and helpful. The tri tip is pretty good, the beans are excellent, and the coleslaw is excellent.“
