Original staple in Pismo Beach. Always fantastic Service. Food is delicious. My favorite go to is the Shrimp & Crab Louie. It abounds with seafood. Yum!!! The fish and chips is fantastic too. Chowder? Why yes. Visit Brads for the food, great service and Pismo nostalgia. You’ll be glad you did.

Update: as of February 2026, Brad's no longer offer breakfast. In past it was a Great Breakfast in patio. Food so good I forgot to take photos. Oops

This is my go to eatery when I come to pismo. I have tried other places but none compare to Brad's. I tend to spend a little more the 20 only because im out of town so when I come to eat dinner. I tend to treat my family. My two young boys though tend to order from the kids menu. Usually corn dog or a burger both under 10.

Great place to take the family to for breakfast. 3 of us split the Tri-tip breakfast and Belgian Waffles with Strawberries. It was plenty of food. Steak and waffles were great!

Excellent pancakes, friendly service, fresh fruit, and crispy bacon!
After finding seeing the original handicap parking was taken we searched for another spot nearby and found a nice handicapped parking, around the corner next to all of the parking meters. It was an open space which had employee parking in the lot, handicap is exempt of this rule, seeing as there's a required handicap spot and the lot was indeed open to the public as there was nothing obstructing us from entering, we were then rudely approached by a worker of Brad's asking if we were alright repeatedly. while i tried to ask her if the handicap spot was alright andor exempt, she continued to ask if we were alright, because we couldn't park in that spot and has to park on the street. We left and informed her of the laws but it's not okay to kick a handicap person out of a designated handicap spot so we will not be returning.
(If there was a rope or gate that prevents public entry this rule can be enforced but since there is nothing obstructing the lot then that spot is exempt of private property rules)
If she had been nicer and asked us to relocate so she can put the rope back up seeing as she forgot to, we would have respected it easily but it was rude and borderline harassment. Kicking a disabled person out of a spot because of an employee mistake should be addressed because it isn't right.
