I was seated quickly and a server took my order,asking if I wanted a drink. I told him yes, I wanted to look trough the drink menu I'll be ready in a few minutes. My food arrived and I still did not have a fork. My Chinese chicken salad was ordered with roasted chicken and came with their fried crispy chicken. When I got the fork to eat my salad it was good. My server finally showed up when I was 3/4 done asking if everything was okay, he had obviously forgotten i wanted to order a drink. So, the service was nonexistent, and the food was not what I ordered. Definitely not a good experience.

The self serve beer is fun and easy to use. It’s a great way to sample small amounts of beer before you commit to a pint. They charge by the ounce so just be careful when you pour. The was good not great, but the vibes were high. We had a great time.

Today we both had the blta. The disappointing thing is that a blt is pretty hard to mess up. The aioli was only spread in the middle of the bread and the chunk of avocado could have been sliced thin to cover more of the contents of the sandwich but was simply that, just a small chunck of avo.

Lunch for two was nearly $50 with tip. Water, no drinks or beer.

Service was fine, it was clean but otherwise the menu is mid and they messed up a basic sandwich.

Probably my favorite dining option in Pismo. Food is great, atmosphere is vibrant and lively, and staff are pretty friendly. It could be pretty busy some days, and its not the best for large crowds or families with the young, but its still worth checking out.

This is a great place for a family with lots of kids. Very reasonable prices, but you aren't getting high quality food.

Brussel sprouts were oily and drenched in some kind of sweet sauce

Pizza was no better than frozen

If you want clam chowder, Zorros is so much better

Beer was good. Lots of it.
Tons of screens to watch sports.

Waitress was very pleasant, but very busy...

This place wasn't for us. We won't be back

We came in with a party of 16 from Bakersfield, we all ordered our food. One of our people ordered the lunch special of tacos. The waitress brought to full plates to him. He had only ordered one plate. Our other guy next to him ordered a pizza. No pizza came out. Our friend with the two taco plates told the waitress he only ordered the one plate of tacos. The waitress took it back. The guy with the pizza whondidnt get his was informed they forgot to put his order in. He eventually got his pizza way after everyone else.
When we went to pay the manager came out and told the guy with the tacos that he would have to pay for both meals and brought the other taco plate out boxed up. So it sat in the back for 30 minutes before they told him he was forced to pay. No comps, no help, and no deals on there mess up of two people. Then they messed up all the billing.

This was a disgrace. There mess up and we all still had to pay, with 20% tip added to all the bills.

WILL TAKE OUR MONEY SOMEWHERE ELSE NEXT TIME.

THANKS FOR NOTHING!!

Place is really cool and the view is worth it. $22 for an ok burger that lacked seasoning was depressing and the clam chowder had a bunch of sand from the clams in it.

5 Stars – A Hidden Gem That Outshines the High-End Spots

We stumbled into Blast and Brew looking for something casual and ended up having one of the best meals of our trip. The vibe was super chill, the food was fantastic, and the service was friendly and prompt from start to finish.

We ordered a little bit of everything — bacon-wrapped shrimp, shrimp tacos, clam chowder, ribeye and finished with the most unexpectedly delicious bread pudding for dessert. I had a coconut mojito that hit just right. Even the kids’ menu was solid, which is always a win for us.

What really blew us away was how this place outperformed the higher-end restaurants we visited earlier in the trip — and at a fraction of the price. My husband’s steak here was better than what he got at Lido or Vista in Pismo, no joke.

From now on, I’ll skip the overpriced fancy spots and head straight back here. It’s a rare combo of great food, relaxed atmosphere, and genuine service that makes you feel like you made the right choice. Highly recommend!

After looking online for a local place that had some vegetarian options. We chose to try out Blast & Brew. We did the Brussel sprouts for an appetizer, and then I opted for the Santa Maria Vegetarian Pizza, which was absolutely delicious! I would say it was slightly undercooked, with the inner part still being doughy. But the veggies were good, and the pesto/marinara mixed sauce was perfect to accompany the veggies. My husband chose to try the Thai chicken pizza without the chicken and loved it. Our beverages were delicious as well. You can tell the 2nd round had a different bartender mixing them due to some slight flavor differences. We would definitely go back whenever we are in Pismo area.
