Restaurants in Pismo Beach

“We came in today from NCounty to check it out. All the IG posts make my mouth water! We got two shaved ice, an ube/Taro smoothie and a spam musubi. Everything was so so so good but the customer service was even better. Very sweet and welcoming staff running this place. Will absolutely be back!”

“Been looking for good barilla tacos. I finally I did!! Delicious, quality, portion size and price I highly recommend them”

“Food was delicious and fresh!”

“great micro brews delicious food, and warm company. if you are rolling past Pismo or spending time in the area, highly recommend spending some time here.”

“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.”

“Holy smokes, the chicken shawarma wrap was the best Greek food wrap that I’ve had. It sets the bar for chicken shawarma that is perfectly scented with spices and moist. It was so good, I went back and ordered another to take home. My sister ordered the falafel wrap and said bit was fantastic. The service was really friendly and the food was made to order.

It is a take-out counter inside of a liquor store so it’s efficient and lacks ambiance BUT the food is so worth it.
Side note, I ordered the spicy potatoes too hoping they would be patatas bravas like but they were French fries coated in a heavy spice and sauce making them soggy. Definitely wouldnt order again.”

“Great Burgers and Fries..nice people and very clean..love it..will make a stop next time..💓💓💓”

“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.”

“Awesome experience, great service and delicious food & drinks!”

“Just Love them, ya just can't beat them for a great breakfast! Try it you'll like it! ❤”

“So glad we found this place for breakfast and definitely want to try their lunch options! Great food & prices especially for organic. The cashew berry toast on sourdough was delicious! A must to visit in Pismo Beach.”

“Food made from scratch and flavorful. Loaves and buns are available for purchase. Will go again!”

“Great food, drinks & vibe!💕”

“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 love coming here. We stop every time we are close. It’s always busy and the cinnamon rolls are always fresh.”

“Great place right on Shell Beach Road in the Village. Sandwiches are awesome. Highly recommend!”

“I always stop by Dan's pizzeria when I'm in the Pismo area their food is absolutely delicious and the employees are very helpful and always go above and beyond to make you happy you should definitely try the regular pepperoni pizza it is by far one of the best I've had in the whole country and I promise that is not an understatement I have literally been to hundreds and this simple Pizza is absolutely one of the best.”

“Preslie was a wonderful server. Made we were well cared for, watched to make sure our glasses and plates were full and let us sit and enjoy. A great meal, fish tacos were perfect.”

“I've been to Breezeway Cafe once, and the folks who run the place are sweethearts. My partner spilled his Americano, and they remade it for him, which they didn't have to do. Their portions are enormous. A side of bacon and biscuits with gravy will last you, or at least me, two meals. The Strawberry Dream was great, perfect amount of ice cream, strawberries, and breading. My only feedback is both the gravy and breading could use a little more salt, but I'm sure I could ask for that next time. I wish they weren't 300 miles away from where I live”

“Loved the gluten ceee waffle.”

“We are from the Bay Area, but Zorro’s is probably my top restaurant for Mexican food among all we frequent. Tastes are exquisite. A very large selection. Staff is friendly and efficient. I wish we could go there each week, but alas, we would have to travel 200 miles to do so. You will not regret this. Enjoy and savor the experience.”

“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”

“Great atmosphere. Great food”

“When we come to the Pismo Beach area to “glamp” Gino’s is ALWAYS a must. The pizza is delicious! The pasta dishes equally yummy. And the salads??? Outstanding. We highly recommend Gino’s. (As…Native New Yorkers. AKA Pizza Pros) . 😀😀”

“Great food in this sweet little corner restaurant. Hand made fresh tortillas are delicious.”

“7 of us went there after a hike. Food and service was excellent!!! Will definitely be back!”

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

“Puffer's is the place to be!! 🍷🎶🍷🎶🍷🎶🍷🎶🍷🎶🍷🎶🍷🎶”

“Great breakfast selections! Excellent curation of ingredients to make your tummy happy!”

“Just ordered a pizza to go. What a treat. A really top class pizza. I knew when I walked in the food would be good because the deli selection of Italian ingredients was top class.

“Good coffee, delicious food, clean and cozy dining area with a live cam of the beach. Furniture could use an update and parking is a bit tricky during busy times. Overall a good stop for breakfast or an afternoon pick-me-up”

“We got into the area kind of late and wanted a good pizza for the kids. I went and ordered carry out and had a beer while I waited. The staff was super friendly and the pizza was some of the best we’ve had! We got a half supreme and half bacon/sausage. Definitely recommend!”

“My mom and I had been driving all day and pulled into Hoagies about 2 minutes before closing time. We asked CJ and Taylor if it would be possible to still order some food. They said they were happy to do so! Then we told them they we both have celiac disease and asked if they could give us something gluten free. They both went out of their way to read labels for us and even asked if we would like to have corn tortilla strips on our salads instead of croutons (which are not gluten free). They couldn’t have been nicer! As a plus, the food was delicious. Susan and Megan”

“I was in Pismo on business and needed a beer!
Walking down the street I found Pismo brewing.
What fun. I met the beer tender “Gabe”. He helped with selection of brews. My favorite was the Red Eye pale ale aged in a Jack Daniel’s bourbon barrel.
Gabe is a delight! I will tell my friends and definitely stop by next time. Thanks Gabe!!!!🫡”

“looks lot different in the bar it's been year's since I been to Pismo Beach I meet lot nice people when I stop in I'll have come back someday”

“Rosa’s is one of my very favorite restaurant. Wonderful service and wonderful food. We have shared many wonderful memories 🌺 Thank you🎉 #birthdaydinnerwithfamily”

“The food, ambience, and service were excellent. My only complaint was that the woven chairs in the covered patio were fraying and unraveling with the loose strands catching on my wife's dress. I would hate to think what would happen if an expensive garment was torn as a result.”

“I got two filet tacos and my boyfriend had the OG beef hotdog with fries. The tacos had a lot of flavor and I was full after the two because the portions are large. The fries I have to say are the best fries I’ve ever had. Spicy and crisp.”

“This is my first time here and my spicy tuna hand roll was absolutely delicious and unique! Avocado and cucumber, along with other carrot and another crispy vegetable was in it and it was giant!!!
My nigiri salmon was very inexpensive and with 2 large pieces!
My vegetarian udon was super great, too!!!

Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian, gluten free, vegan available

Parking: It’s in a shopping mall with many other businesses so there’s plenty of off-street parking.

Kid-friendliness: Well behaved children would like it here.”

“Parang curry with tender pork yummy. Drunken noodles spicy hot and delicious. The peanut sauce for spring rolls spicy. I love spicy 🌶”

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

“This was one of the best meals I have had in a long time. I was so full when we left, you could have rolled me home!

Kid-friendliness: The servers are great with the kids.”

“Cool hangout, we sampled a few of the beers and are planning on trying the food.”

“The food was good, the portions were good, and the staff was friendly. This probably has to be the best Chinese food in the Five Cities area, MO. I will call again. I wish they had delivery service. It is dine in and take out only.”

“Pastrami was great! Thick portion, juicy, flavorful, filled the bread, order taker very kind, brought it to my car so I didn't have to hobble in again. Nice full menu. Boars Head products, too!”

“The cookies are really fresh and chocolate chip cookie was fabulous. The ice creams here are home made and the flavors are really good. The coffee flavor is super good. Moose tracks flavor is also really good.”

“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 💜”

“I really enjoyed the food here tbh I was skeptical at first but once I got ally food and ate I was very satisfied! The green salsa was fire it was actually salsa and had a kick to it. I didn't not like the orange salsa and was not spicy whatsoever and tasted like tomatoes too much. The best part was the ramen but with the chicharrones. I ate the whole thing and of you dip the chicharrones in the ramen 🍜 juice they crackel and pop and eat them as you dip because you don't want soggy pork skins. The pulpo fries were also delicious my wife enjoyed them and great flavor altogether ! The outside tables and chairs need to be remodeled ASAP! Next time think about the weather and get waterproof tables and chairs and the whole aesthetic will change !! Add some beautiful plants and greens outdoors and it will attract customers believe me I love to review restaurants everywhere and this can help !!”

“Very nice experience here! My friend and I came in not knowing what to get, and Marco and Eliza helped us pick what drinks to get. They ended up being amazing! Can't wait to come back again”

“Super friendly and kind service! Delicious pizza!”
