Over priced not very good. Shrimp cocktail filled with tiny bits shrimp and a cup filled with cocktail sauce and celery. Not very many jumbo shrimp. Fish chips, fish dry not very good - save $45bucks try somewhere else

Walked in this past Sunday morning, not very busy and got no service. The host ignored me and only acknowledged my girlfriend as we walked in. We were sat and no service came to us in the 15 minutes we looked over the menu. I tried to get the attention of a server to no success. We now felt a bit uncomfortable and decided to leave. In most restaurants, if they are busy ( which this one wasn't at that time) the host may ask immediately for a drink order to get us started and he didn't. Not even a visit from any of the staff to either bring Waters, ask for a drink order, the easiest & quickest order to take and bring. Yea... I won't be trying this place in the future.

I go to pismo every other week for work and I've been clam chowder hopping and this one has the best chunks of clam they give you little packets of Cholula along with your chowder. I never thought to add that to my clam chowder but I would add small drops and stir a small section to my satisfaction and oh man, I'm always going to eat hot sauce with my clam chowder now. The people here are great

We somehow ended up on the strip again even though I try to avoid this place because it could be busy at times but maybe I'm wrong because every time we come here it's always soooo good! The interior is so adorbs. I've always loved it. Service is quick and friendly and the food is delicious! Splash cafe is cool but brads is amazing! A true gem and their menu is much better. Great for lunch.. dinner.. weekday.. weekend.. holiday.. day off.. whatever! Forgot to snap a picture of the chowder but it was divine. We also got fresh crab as a topping.

To start I will say the have the absolute best clam chowder on this earth which I why I even gave them the two stars . However I May conclude that this was the worsened Cod , rice pilaf, and service I’ve gotten thus far . I asked for a taste of the Mascotto and he brung it in a condiment container which I thought was a little off (however It was good I bought the whole bottle) The rice had a consistency of mush and the cod was both chard and bland , to finish off I sent the whole plate back and the server brought the check WITH the meal on it and then said “oh you wanted us to remove it” . I didn’t like the attitude I was given and I would have appreciated a little more respect.

Food looked great but I had to take it home because the people around me had zero manners , had no shirts on and I know it's next to a beach but your a grown man put a shirt on .. people smacking food falling out their mouth, people smoking smelling horrible. Although I recommend really I do just hold it together no wonder splash has lines out the door and you don't.

Great food, new favorite! We had the halibut and chips, tri-tip sandwich, lobster and shrimp tavos. All was ecellent! Service was great and our server was SUPER NICE! Turns out she is a former OC neighbor. Defenitely worth the try. ☺️?

Great environment friendly staff and even better food ! my family and i walked in to the restaurant looking for a quick bite to eat and we were blown away with how fast the service was and how attentive the servers were the owner was also very friendly and helpful with suggestions. Everything was aslo priced very reasonably and the portions are very generous will definitely be coming back. (btw this clam chowder is way tastier than splash cafe )

My wife and I eat at BRAD'S whenever we go to Pismo Beach. On our third visit to BRAD'S, we found it on the busy side on a Sunday night at about 6:45pm. We got the last booth inside after a couple minutes. Our server was NICK. NICK was very friendly and a very competent waiter. We ordered the Senior's meal of Fish & Chips and the COD dish. The cod came with veggies and bread. Everything was hot, fresh and came out in a reasonable amount of time. The portions were generous. The tartar sauce for the fish & chips was the best I have ever had and asked NICK if it were home-made and he said all the sauces and dressings are made in-house. Kudos! The restrooms are in the patio area and they are clean. Parking on the street can be challenging, but BRAD'S is only a short walk from the pier lot where parking is a pay lot only between 10:00am and 6:00pm. We will surely return in the future.

Stopped in here for a bit of dinner on the patio area. Not too busy when I walked in. I was seated promptly. Ordered a draft beer and a steamed clam appetizer. Very tasty dish. Served with bread and a few lemon wedges and a ramiken of melted butter. Followed up with another draft beer and a baby back rib plate from the senior menu. My server was Katherine. Very pleasant and attentive to my table. The rib plate was good, and the portion was ample. The rice was a buttery pilaf type rice and was very good. I enjoyed the ribs the only takeaway was they were slightly undercooked. I don't get realmfreaked out about slightly undercooked pork but many people are put off by it due to possible tricanosis. It is not that common, but the possibility is there. Would I come back again? Yes. I did enjoy my time.
