“Great place to have good quality seafood! We love meeting friends here for dinner/drinks (full bar) then walk to the beach. The live music is a great addition. The staff is always so kind and accommodating. Always a go-to favorite restaurant!“

“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.“

“I love this little gem in Oceano! It's great to grab a bite to take to the beach or bring home. Their clam chowder is excellent and highly recommend. I just had the second half of my order from last night, and it's just as good the next day with some San Luis Sourdough!“

“Best fish & chips on the County. Wonderful choice of beers Great service.“

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

“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!“

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

“Seated immediately, friendly and skilled waitstaff; she knew the menu and gave good input. Food was exactly as ordered and burgers were excellent. DH got the seasonal Oktoberfest and I got Marilyn. Sides were handmade onion rings with several sauces, all homemade. The housemate coleslaw was also excellent. We are excited to go back because the milkshake menu looks fantastic. The waiters was also sweet about giving advice on local happenings and things to do, it’s clear she enjoys her work! They also have as full bar with a nice draft beer selection but we didn’t partake as it was 12 am. Walking distance to the pier!“

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

“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!!!“

“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.“

“Always awesome with great food and good drinks.“

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

“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.“

“Excellent food and service here—top notch! I was saddened to see the microcosm of negative reviews show up near the top here. All employed here seem locked on serving fresh, tasty authentic food.

The kiosk ordering system feels a bit weird, but it does allow you many customization options. Just be aware that it is like a giant iPad; if your wishes are not visible, scroll!

My only suggestion would be to dim the (nicely warm) lights a bit.“

“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.“

“Stopped by for lunch on the weekend.
The food here is really delicious, and the atmosphere is nice. The waitress was very friendly and recommended several dishes to me. The fried eggplant was especially tasty, along with many other things. The only downside was that the Pad Thai noodles I ordered seemed a bit undercooked, but the flavor was still excellent. I’ll definitely invite my friends to come and will be back again soon.“
