Fish and chips takeaway
Giovanni's Fish Market And Galley is a renowned seafood restaurant and market in Morro Bay, offering fresh, sustainable seafood from their own fishing fleet. With over 100 seafood items available for purchase or online ordering, it has earned a stellar reputation over its 30-year history. The establishment has won the Morro Bay Annual Chowder Cook-Off six times in a row and offers an impressive waterfront dining experience on the wharf patio.
We were very happy with Giovanni's. The food was good with large portions and everything tasted fresh. The combo platter was nicely done and the fried scallops were particularly good. I try to stay away from fried food, but if make an exception here. The clam chowder was the best we've had here so far and I'd go back for just this again.

This place is always my go-to whenever I’m in the area. The service is quick, and I really enjoy the patio seating by the water—it’s a relaxing spot with a great atmosphere. However, I was a bit disappointed with the fish and chips. I expected fresh, locally caught fish, but it turns out they use frozen Alaskan halibut or cod. It didn’t quite meet my expectations for a coastal location. The calamari was tasty, but the portion was small for the price—especially when compared to what most restaurants offer as an appetizer. It was also served with a heavy portion of fries, which felt like filler. Overall, I’d rate the food 3 stars. I added an extra star for the clean restrooms, pleasant outdoor seating, and the overall vibe of the place.

They’re best known for their clam chowder, so I had to see what the hype was about. I ordered the clam chowder, and while it was decent, it didn’t quite live up to expectations. The flavor leaned heavily toward celery, which overpowered the clam taste, and the portion was small for the price. Nothing memorable there. We also got a seafood combo with octopus, fish, calamari, and scallops, plus chips. It was solid — everything was cooked fine and seasoned okay — but again, no wow factor. The garlic fries were probably the highlight for me: crispy, flavorful, and definitely worth grabbing. My daughter got chicken and chips. Heads up: there’s usually a long line, and it moves slowly — not because of the staff (they were efficient), but because a lot of people stop to ask a million questions. Also, note that there are two lines on both sides of the building, which can be confusing if it’s your first time. Overall, it’s a fun spot to try once for the experience, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to return.

Nice view and dog friendly patio. Fish and chips were good. Tater sauce a little strange. Clam chowder was great! Cole slaw nothing exciting. By the time we left there was a huge line. Seems to be a popular place w locals too. Enjoy!

Mediocre quality food. Staff was friendly but would not return. - Oysters were ok and fresh. Buttery kind. - Steamed crab was very bland flavored. They said they ran out of crackers (tool to open the shells with) so we had to open them with hands which was quite tough. It would've been nice if they told us at least at the time of ordering. - Halibut & Chips. Again, very bland. Not seasoned. - Cocktail shrimps. DO NOT BUY⛔️ Tiny shrimps in a cup that they charge for $12. Not the normal finger sized shrimps you'd expect.

This place is so good we went twice. I had the popcorn shrimp the first time and then shrimp tacos and clam chowder the second. Everything is so tasty and made fresh for you. My father-in-law had the fish and chips which he loved. Anything fried here is delicious. Can't wait to go back! *7/16/24 update* So happy to be back. I was thinking of dinner here for awhile. The calamari and chips were awesome. We also got halibut and chips too. So good *6/1725 update * back again and do delicious. The food is fast and fresh and so tasty

I wanted to take my time with this review because they deserve careful consideration. Every time I cruise through Morro Bay, I make sure to stop by Giovanni's. Honestly, I've never ordered anything I didn't love from Giovanni's. From the shrimp cocktail to the shrimp nachos, and the fish and chips to the poke bowl, everything is amazing. And don't even get me started on the crab quesadilla... I can say without hesitation that I had the best fried calamari that I've ever had here. If you like seafood, I'm confident that you can order anything from the prepared menu and won't regret it. But if you really want to do Giovanni's right, step into their market (with the giant clamshell out front) and order some fresh seafood to snack upon throughout the day and take home with you. You can't go wrong with the salmon bellies. My only regrets are the prepared menu items I haven't tried yet, like the grilled halibut sandwich, which I will be back for soon.

The extensive drinks menu includes local wine and brews, various sangria flavors, and a wide beer selection. With its waterfront location, diners can enjoy stunning views while savoring their meals.
SO GOOD!!! Had the dragon Lady salad with chicken, so many flavors. Elaine from Seinfeld would love that it's a big salad. Companion had the dragon Lady hot dog and said it was messy but delicious. Can't wait to go back.

It's okay at best. We went trying different kinds of chowder during our stay. Shrimp tacos were okay based on the shrimp themselves. 2 Stale tortillas loaded with a bunch of coleslaw to add size. The chower was weird, no cream, or should be labeled Manhattan Clam Chowder (peep the chowder in the back) instead of a vague description. "Loaded potatoes " are just roasted potatoes with salt and pepper with 2 dipping sauces. The lady serving us was nice. Aside from that, I dont think I would be back again.

My friend and I noticed some ants that were crawling from the wall onto our table, and I appreciate that our server was able to move us to another table. The food here feels like it's meant for people who don't like seafood but want to eat with a view of the rock. The burger I got was good and cooked to perfection.

Visited on July 3rd. Arrived at 7:20 PM (they close at 8:30), but there was no one at the reception desk—despite the sign saying “wait for the host.” We had to walk inside and ask someone for assistance. The dining room overlooking the harbor is beautiful, but instead of seating us there, we were offered the worst table near the entrance. When we asked for a different spot, we were moved next to the kitchen door. Strangely, we didn’t see a single staff member over the age of 25... There were still guests dining in the main room, yet everyone who arrived after us was packed into a narrow hallway. None of the tables were set—no glasses, utensils, or even salt and pepper—which made the seating decisions even more confusing since cleaning up before closing would be pretty straightforward. The food was average at best but extremely overpriced. To top it off, they added a food & beverage tax, a harbor tax, and an alcohol tax—something I’ve never seen before. Disappointing experience, especially for the price and the location’s potential.

This was such a mixed bag. Good stuff: - My family’s burgers looked amazing (juicy, great bun) - Our server was GREAT. 11/10! Was very attentive to us, very thoughtful about our kids (bringing crackers and offering water when they got grumpy, checking in regularly, rearranging tables for us, even the food we ordered for them was slightly cooled off so that they could eat it right away) - The sauce on the dragon lady slaw was yummy, albeit a tad too salty Bad stuff: - My fish tacos were terrible. Dry corn tortillas that hadn’t even been warmed, dry overcooked fish, a pile of dry cabbage on top. Another review from 5 months ago said the same. Just take them off your menu if you don’t want to make them nicely! - Potatoes were very salty - All three wines we tried were not good - The part of the restaurant that overlooked the water was completely closed - chairs on tables. We came down here to eat by the water but couldn’t even see it. TLDR: Come here for a good burger and pleasant chats with nice staff. Avoid if wanting a nicer meal.

Great little place! Audrey our server was super nice and very helpful! We had the tacos and they were really yummy! Sauces are amazing! The sauce on the slaw was so good! BF had the homemade brownie with ice cream and he loved it! Only reason for the 4 star on food is because I didn’t care for the clam chowder, it was different but BF loved it. 😊

Dorn's Breakers Cafe is a family-owned and operated bayside eatery in Morro Bay, offering a timeless tradition since its opening in 1942. Despite not being directly on the water, every seat boasts a respectable view of Morro Rock. The menu focuses on fresh, local seafood such as oysters and calamari sandwiches but also includes New York steak, pasta dishes, salads, and soups.
I always look forward to having breakfast here when in Morro Bay. During our last visit, I ordered a bacon & cheddar cheese omelette with a side of buttermilk pancakes. The side of potatoes or homemade muffins are also delicious but I was craving the pancakes this time. The restaurant is dog friendly as long as you don't mind sitting on the patio. The service was fast and friendly.

This is one of my go to places for dinner in Morro Bay (I hear bfast is very good as well). The food, service, view and prices are all top notch for this casual restaurant. The outside heated patio has a great view of the rock, but indoor window front seating works as well. A nice bar up front is a great spot for a drink, etc as well as a large outdoor front area to wait for a table. Like most spots in morro bay, Dorns closes at 9pm, but I never feel rushed here.

My wife had the salmon and I had the calamari. Both were excellent! Arguably the best we've ever had. The service was exceptional! Even though it's a block off the water, the hilltop view was great. Dorn's will definitely be our "go to" dinner restaurant when in Morro Bay!

We had a great breakfast at Dorn's Breakers Cafe! The view of Morro Rock from the restaurant is absolutely amazing a perfect start to the day. The portions were huge and everything we ordered was delicious. I had the huevos rancheros, which were full of flavor, and my husband enjoyed the eggs Benedict. We also shared the special French toast, and it was delicious too. Overall, a great breakfast spot with good food and beautiful views. Highly recommend!

My husband and I had an amazing dinner here celebrating our 13th wedding anniversary. The staff was friendly and on top of everything, the atmosphere was nice but nothing too stuffy or fancy. It’s overlooking the water and iconic Morro Bay Rock, with outdoor patio seating and an abundance of window views from inside. There’s also a full bar, and the cocktail and wine list has a nice variety. We had the calamari appetizer which was perfectly and lightly battered. It came with what seemed like house-made Cocktail sauce and tartar sauce. The freshness really makes a difference. For main courses, I had the scallops and my husband had the clam linguine. It’s hard to say which one I liked better! The portions were generous and everything was so delicious. I was shocked at how many clams were in the linguine dish! To finish, they gave us a celebratory Chocolate Mousse, also freshly made in house, and it was literally the perfect way to end the meal - so light and fluffy, but full of flavor! This is definitely our new favorite spot when we’re in town. The breakfast and lunch menus look great online too.

Great Food, the Calamari steak was fantastic. Everything our party of 6 ordered was great. Service was good, polite, and helpful. The Friday night wait was only about 20 minutes. Restrooms were clean which is hard to do in a coastal setting. We will definitely be back.

1st experience at this restaurant and wow was it amazing. My wife and I celebrated our 30th anniversary and we couldn’t have been more impressed. The food (blackened snapper & chicken piccata) was fantastic, as was the outstanding service. Shoutout to Taylor for making our evening extra special.

Dorn’s: A Classy Coastal Brunch with a View to Match 🍳🌊 Perched above Morro Bay, Dorn’s delivers a dining experience that feels like being on the deck of a cruise ship—except this time, you're looking out to sea, with stunning views of Morro Rock and the iconic three stacks. The elevated location gives you a panoramic glimpse of the entire bay, and it sets the stage for a refined, coastal brunch experience. Well-Staffed & Well-Run 🚶‍♂️🍽️ We were seated almost immediately—just a 3-minute wait despite how full the restaurant was—and our food hit the table in under 15 minutes. With 12 to 15 staff members circulating throughout, the place ran like clockwork. It’s clear the owners have put thoughtful intention into creating a higher-end yet approachable atmosphere. Brunch, Cocktails & Coastal Comfort 🍸🥓 We came for brunch and cocktails, and I ordered my go-to: eggs Benedict. The hollandaise was flavorful and well-balanced, though the eggs were a touch more cooked than I prefer and the potatoes could have used a bit more warmth. That said, everything was still delicious, and the experience as a whole made up for those minor details. The Verdict? Classy Attempt Accomplished ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ From the scenic views to the well-orchestrated service, Dorn’s delivered on its promise of a coastal fine dining experience. If you're in Morro Bay and looking for a brunch spot that feels just a touch more special, this one sails ahead of the rest.

A MUST stop if you are in the area (or even 30 miles away). Come hungry. Portions are sizable and quality is still high. We came for the carrot cake (which may be on the wonders of the world) but the burritos and tacos were excellent. The woman serving us in the dining area was incredibly friendly and helpful, ensuring we had everything we need. Ah and the salsas were also great.

I didn't eat in, but did order there and waited. They greeted me as soon as I arrived and waited while I decided what to have since this was my first time. The cashier was friendly and answered all my questions. I ordered a combination plate which included a cheese enchilada, Carne asada taco, chili rellano and it came with black beans, rice and salad. It was all very good. Unfortunately the bag fell on the floor so things got a little mixed up, but it was still good. Price was a bit spend, but everything is nowadays. I would definitely eat here again.

We’ve been going to Taco Temple for 30 years or more. When in the Morro Bay, Taco Temple is a must! Seriously!! Their fish tacos, many varieties of fish, are more like a big salad. Fresh and yummy food. It’s really hard to go wrong with whatever you choose. They have beer and wine. Good place to either eat in or take out.

Eyes WAY bigger then my stomach. We came a little hungry so we each orderd our own meal plus an appetizer. I've ordered the baja tacos many times but usually carry out. Today we ate inside and the portions were enough for an entire family!! 4 GIANT filets with enough salad to feed 18 rabbits. The fajita plate my hubby ordered was equally abundant. Normally a side of fried pickles is maybe 4-5 spears. Oh no... this seemed like an entire JAR!! I had to put the fork there to give a comparison to the size!! We are camping nearby and the leftovers will make a delicious steak omelet in the morning!! $50 for dinner AND tomorrow's breakfast!! Next time, just one item and we'll split it!!

Tognazzini's Dockside Restaurant is a bustling and informal spot that focuses on West Coast-caught seafood, offering a menu with weekly specials. Located in Morro Bay right in front of the T-Pier, it provides views of the harbor with Morro Rock in the background. You can enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner while watching people at the pier and even witness fishermen bringing in the daily catch.
Likely the best seafood place in central coast. Great views, food, and humble dining room. Consider this place if you want the best seafood anywhere. I can confirm the salmon bisque may have been the best I’ve eaten anywhere. Break away from the chowder and give it a try!
Jerome T — Google review
Very likely the best seafood in town. There are two places here, the restaurant inside, and then outside on the dock. Very often we sit outside on the dock have a drink and listen to music and then go inside for dinner. But sometimes we just stay on the dock and have salmon tacos with our beer and wine. Usually a great view of the rock and seagulls and the dock and boats… And people a few… But when it’s foggy, there’s not much of a view and you just kind of huddled up inside your sweatshirt. If you’ve got some good friends or family with you though it’s really terrific.

We arrived soon after the restaurant opened on a Tuesday. We had a table with a lovely view of the Rock, but my tall husband had to be careful about the light fixture overhead that threatened to brain him every time he stood. Service was okay. I got the clam chowder bread bowl, and it was fantastic, everything I hope for. My husband had the five piece fried fish. While the fish was undoubtedly fresh, the breading was rubbery. My son had the macaroni and cheese; it was oddly soupy, which comes across in the picture. So, an uneven meal experience for us.

Had a nice dinner dockside on the last day of a 2 week trip. We had a nice dinner, watched the fishermen unload the catch of the day and had excellent service.

Dockside will always be my go to spot in morro bay. Great live music, Great seafood, Great atmosphere. This whole fish was on special for $5. IT WAS EXCELLENT!!!!

Not the sit down restaurant next door. Different menus.

Wonderful little spot in Morro Bay! Food was innovative and really fun. I had a hard time choosing but was very happy with what I got. Everything was delicious I have zero complaints. Small detail but I love the fact that they give you big coffee mugs. Something about having a nice warm cup of coffee with a hot breakfast really hits the spot especially when you have an ocean view in the background too.

Visitors rave about the in-house made roast beef sandwich with Provolone cheese, which is considered a must-try when in Morro Bay.
I've been there twice so far and both times were exceptional. I ate their fish and chips and clam chowder, as well as had a German beer. The fish and chips had a really nice crisp to them and were perfectly prepared both times. They have good fries, and their clam chowder is very good. This is my current favorite place in Morro bay. Their pricing is also excellent. You're able to get fish and chips and a side of clam chowder for around 18 bucks when I went there, April 2025. They also have wonderful patio seating that has a glass wind blocker

Hofbrau in Morro Bay is one of our go-to spots, especially for their French dip sandwiches—they’re absolutely to die for! The chicken club is another favorite, and the kids always enjoy the burgers and other entrees. The fries are delicious as well! We love sitting out on the enclosed patio where we can stay out of the wind while taking in the view of the boats and Morro Rock. The line might seem long and out the door at first glance, but it’s fast, efficient, and the staff are always friendly. They also have a nice selection of beers to go with your meal. Great food, great view, great vibe—highly recommend!

This is a great little establishment to stop by and grab a quick bite. The roast beef french dip sandwich is excellent and very filling. The cheeseburgers are cooked to order and very tasty. The fries are cooked crispy and the onion rings are very good. The person who took the order is very sweet and helpful. It's a place where you walk in and order before sitting. We've been here a couple of times and inside is always clean and the tables are wiped down. They do have an outside area to sit but it can be chilly at times. Overall this is a go to place for lunch and even dinner after a long day (when you don't feel like waiting 45 min to be seated). elsewhere. .

The clam chowder was so so, had some flour chunk in it, but it was nice and hot and it was quick service. Nice patio dining with the harbor view. My friend has been here before and said the sandwiches were really good. I'll have to try that next.

Tried the French Dip Sandwich — The sandwich itself was solid. Great bread-to-meat ratio, with soft, fresh bread and incredibly tender meat. I wasn’t a fan of the au jus dip — it tasted pretty salty, though I’m not sure if that’s how it’s supposed to be. Either way, it just wasn’t for me. I’d honestly rather enjoy the sandwich on its own without the dip. Service was great — the staff was nice, friendly, and made the place feel really inviting. That kind of warmth always makes the experience better, even if the food isn’t a perfect match for your taste.

I love the Hofbrau. It never disappoints. The food is great quality, the service is very kind and the view is of the bay and Morro Rock. For around $30 I got a big, meaty sandwich, fries and a beer. I took half home and they gave me a large to-go container of au jus. So I got two meals out of it. My husband ate his whole sandwich. We both got the County Jail sandwich which has roast beef and pastrami. It came with au jus. So yummy. And I like the beer choices on tap.

Great wine selection and food options. Unfortunately, the servers care more about the owners who flaunt they are the owners taking up the front 3 tables on a beautiful Sunday afternoon.

STAX will forever hold a special place in my heart! Over nine years ago, my husband and I did our first road trip and stopped in Morro Bay where we fell in love. 2 years after that, he proposed to me at The Rock and we had our engagement party at STAX. We rented out part of the restaurant and had family and friends to celebrate. Fast forward to 2020, we're celebrating our 9th Valentine's day at STAX. This place never disappoints! + AMAZING SERVICE! Just the friendliest, warmest, most accommodating, and helpful staff. They are always so cheerful and inviting, and super knowledgeable on wine! + Great location! It's an easy walk to The Rock and lots of sight seeing. You have a beautiful view of the bay and The Rock. + Beautiful and relaxed interior.

We would normally not be going out during the weekend because everything is so busy with tourists but found ourselves out and Stax not quite as busy as normal. We snuck in and was able to grab a bite. Conor was amazing. We had an interesting tomato lobster bisque, some fried brussel sprouts, and carnitas tacos. We finished off with a brownie which was very good. The tomato lobster bisque was creamy with enough lobster bits to make sure the taste wasn't overdone by the tomato. The fried brussel sprouts were served with a lemon garlic aioli and were very nice. The carnitas tacos were served on a corn tortilla with salsa verde and were so very good. We were impressed by the food and Conor times everything perfectly. This is a place to schedule for a return visit, maybe a Saturday afternoon wine with some snacks would be lovely.

Bayside Cafe is a waterfront restaurant located on the Los Osos side of the Morro Bay Estuary, offering stunning views of Morro Rock and the pristine estuary habitat. Since its opening in 1986, it has been a popular spot for locals and visitors to enjoy traditional American cuisine with a touch of Mexican favorites.
Beautiful location with great service. You are right on the water. The food was solid. The California chowder was excellent ( lots of clam and the green salsa gives it a great taste) The burger looked very good. I was a little disappointed with my turkey avocado sandwich. Not much avocado and sourdough bread was disappointing. Nice portion of turkey. Side Cesar salad was delicious.

This was a great find just on the outer edge of downtown Morro Bay, and well worth it. Outside seating is perfect with plenty of optional umbrellas…inside seating as well. I suggest splitting the tacos and or massive nachos…oh and 20oz beers on tap, yes please! Very reasonable prices, excellent service and tons of parking. Lunch/dinner but closes early so check times. Here’s an idea: hike the path up to top of Black Hill for great views, then wind your way down thru the state park and cross the street to a marina. The walk back to town is great as well.

I love Everything about this place. I've been coming here since I was a kid and each time it's been a great experience and As a "tourist" its always appreciated. The Food is absolutely delicious, most notably the Sourdough Bowl California Chowder but Whatever you decide to order is a guaranteed treat! The servers have always been polite and informative and that view nesr the water is absolutely perfection. Especially with that morning fog just peering above the water. Just grab a coffee and enjoy the fresh cool air. Bayside Cafe is ALWAYS a must stop when I visit Morror Bay.

Came back and got eggs Benedict this time. It was ok but not especially great. The service was ok. I ended up trying a couple of things here. The "grilled cheese" which isn't very much like what you expect a grilled cheese sandwich to be but is quite tasty in it's own right. And I also had the chicken sandwich which was fantastic as well. Pairing that with some local beers and a view of the water on the patio makes for a lovely experience. We also had a good server who was quite clever when we asked if we could get a photo he said we were welcome to recruit one of the millennials that work there as they would do a better job of it.

Great American Fish Company, located in Malibu, offers a relaxed dining experience with a wide variety of seafood options including sandwiches, fried dishes, and salads. Situated by the water in Morro Bay, this long-standing restaurant provides a timeless charm and a commitment to serving exceptional meals. Despite its long history, it remains popular due to its extensive selection of freshly caught seafood dishes. The mesquite method of cooking used for grilled dishes adds an extra layer of flavor to the dining experience.
Always a pleasure and delicious meal at Great American Fish Company! Besides the great service you will receive. This time it was Cassandra who was welcoming, smiling and really kind, even though they were slammed busy. Then I had Ms. Ashley who was my server and besides being right on point with her helping with decisions, she was just a delight! Both of them, Cassandra and Ashley are exact reasons I will be returning and continue to spend my money for excellent customer service and a meal! Now, the meal…..ohhh my! Every time I come, I get the calamari steak and a side of fried prawns, of course the cup of clam chowder and it is always too much but worth every bite and bit of uncomfortable fullness! Lolllll The calamari steak is giant and cooked in a light panko crumb….I’m drooling again right now! The views are phenomenal and you can also watch the chefs prepare your food through the windows. It’s a great restaurant with amazing decor, staff and food! Thank you Cassandra and Ashley and the chefs behind the scenes! Mr. Vido and I will be back.

We had a great experience at The Great American Fish Company in Morro Bay! Even though it’s known for seafood, we ordered a kid’s cheeseburger with some seriously amazing steak fries and a huge, fresh salad loaded with all the trimmings—definitely big enough to share. The food quality was top-notch, and the service was friendly and prompt. We sat by the window and got to watch otters swimming by, which made the whole meal feel extra special. Afterward, we walked down to the docks to check out the boats. The whole place has a fun, laid-back beach town vibe that really adds to the experience. Highly recommend stopping by!

Bought lunch fish-and-chips for almost $25 and received one piece of fish cut in 3 pieces. One was the size of a McDonald's chicken nugget and the largest piece was the size of half of a piece of what you should have received that was the largest of the 3 pieces. I guess moral to the story is, do not get your food to go or they will give you almost nothing for your money.

Been here before but my latest experience will have me looking elsewhere. The clam chowder was off, it lacked flavor, I peppered it like crazy to make it appealing. The mesquite fish and chips combo was okay. I did enjoy the smoky flavor but the fried fish was not that great. Fries were very salty, slaw was average. You can get this simple dish cheaper at the other local spots with a much more reasonable price. I wouldn't mind the price if only the quality was actually better. Service was okay, but the waitress was not fully attentive.

We stopped by Pizza Port for lunch and ordered takeout—a 16-inch pepperoni pizza, mozzarella sticks, and a salad. While the service was quick and efficient (credit to the team at the counter for doing their job well), the food itself was a mixed bag. Starting with the mozzarella sticks: they were disappointingly thick, yet hollow, with barely any cheese inside. The batter lacked seasoning, and no effort seemed to be made to enhance the flavor after cooking. To make matters worse, the marinara sauce was ice cold, which didn’t help the overall experience. The pizza was where the real letdown happened. While the presentation was solid—the pizza looked inviting—the execution fell short. The cheese was piled on so thick it became overwhelming, while the sauce was barely noticeable. What little sauce there was lacked seasoning, leaving the overall flavor flat. As someone who grew up in New York and knows what a great slice should taste like, this just didn’t measure up. It’s better than some of the generic options we get back home in California, but it doesn’t hold a candle to authentic NY-style pizza. On a positive note, the salad was fresh, and its presentation was well done. It was clear that some effort went into making the dishes visually appealing. That said, the service was fast and friendly, which was a bright spot in the experience. With better ingredients and a more balanced approach to seasoning and preparation, I’d gladly give Pizza Port another try. Food: ⭐⭐½ Presentation: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Service: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Value: ⭐⭐⭐ Would I return? Only if they improve their ingredients and flavors. There’s potential here, but it’s not being fully realized yet.

Great place for a quick bite with chill vibes. Food is pretty solid, staff is super friendly and accommodating. Its a quaint little spot with an outdoor patio aswell. My daughter and I split a pepperoni pizza and a meatball sub. I feel like these are two staples to every pizza joint and a good standard to judge quality. The dough was nice and thin with a little flop (could've cooked a few min longer in my opinion) and the sub was toasted to perfection on a delicious garlic loaf. 4.6 out of 5 shakers 🧂 I will definitely stop by again when in the area.

Ordered online for pick up. It was super easy. They have pizza and sandwiches and sell beer and stuff. Not the best pizza but it’s good enough. It’s like a good bad pizza. The dough was kind of soft and soggy. Loaded with toppings. Some would say it was a bit too heavy/ the crust for sure couldn’t support the weight. Great service. Easy interaction.

Short, sweet, right to the point. Fantastic pizza and excellent service. Wife, myself, and our daughter went here on Saturday, July 19th. The kids running the show were friendly, on the ball, and gave both excellent service and a pizza that is one of the best I've had anywhere. They were not skimpy with the cheese either. And we're talking just a basic classic pepperoni and cheese. It was maybe a tad bit greasier than I would've liked, but it wasn't anything that a napkin blot won't fix. Plus, it is flavor. Price was fair and reasonable. A straight across the board stark contrast to the disaster we had moments earlier a block away at a place that bills itself as a "barbecue" restaurant. About the only heads up I would give is that it's best to call your order in ahead of time. Saturday, late afternoon can be a bit of a wait. But that's a testament to how good both their food and service is. So that's on us and not a complaint at all. Very highly recommended.

Ordered pizza for takeout and it was a seamless process with great customer service. Pizza was very tasty. We ordered all varieties from regular crust to gluten free and vegan cheese.

Place used to be good but new changes are super weird. No more pizza by the slice. Tried to order a half cheese half combo pizza and the kid up front rang me up for a dollar for each individual ingredient of a combo pizza, ended up being over $21 dollars for a 10 inch pizza. Might be acceptable for artisan pizza, but not for a family restaurant with basic Sysco ingredients. Cancelled it and just went with cheese. I used to like coming here but probably won’t be back. Outdoor patio is still nice and family friendly though.

Taco De Mexico is a classic Mexican eatery known for its quick service and affordable prices. While some customers have experienced minor issues with their orders, such as missing guacamole or heavy garnishes, others praise the courteous service and delicious food. The burritos are noted to be on the smaller side but are considered a good value for the price.
Excellent spot!! Very good food! Pretty fast too! Generous portions and very very fulfilling! The name caught my attention, it's unique, and straight to the point. I'm full on Mexican so trust me when i say this is GREAT Mexican food. You don't have to take my word for it, check it out and you know I'm not exaggerating. Extremely friendly cashier. Also friendly clientele, everyone in there was friendly and having a nice time. One of few restaurants that still are here to serve the customer and not just their own pocket. Very respectable for that. I live three hours away 😫 so definitely will be stopping by every time I'm around. Morro bay is beautiful so maybe in the near future. 5 stars plain and simple!!

Okay, I was told that this place was good. From what I've seen, it seems like they have plenty of customers. I normally don't order just one thing when I am eating Mexican food. I will oder a combination like tacos and a burrito, etc. During this visit, I just ordered three al pastor burritos. It was awful. I didn't finish it and gave the others away. This doesn't mean that they don't have other dishes that might be good. If I ever go again, I won't be ordering al pastor. I'm sorry, but it truly was awful.

They have plenty of parking too, which is rare for the area Stop in and grab a taco or two! 10 stars 2 thums up! Bravo!

Food was pretty good. My kids enjoyed it. Chile verde wasn't spicy, but had good flavor. Beans were good, rice was garlicky and spicy - I liked it. Wife had chicken flautas that she enjoyed. Chicken in the quesadilla was marinated and juicy. Overall good food that I wouldn't mind eating again next time we're in town.

Visited Shine Cafe and found it to be just okay. The food was pretty average – I tried the TLT and a bagel, and while they were both edible, neither had much flavor to speak of. It felt like something was missing that could have made the dishes stand out. The atmosphere didn’t help either; none of the staff seemed particularly enthusiastic, which took away from the overall vibe. Overall, it’s an acceptable spot if you’re in a pinch, but there’s nothing here that would make me rush back.

Found this lil gem on my gluten free app. I enjoyed my meal and the music. The staff was knowledgeable about gluten free and best part was I had a vegan meal with lots of flavor and immunity shot. I love Morro Bay and can’t wait to try the buckwheat pancakes.

So many amazing looking options for vegans! We tried the tempeh taco, jackfruit tacos, and island smoothie. Everything was so good. The tempeh taco looks more like a large salad with a taco on the side. The cilantro cream dressing was delicious. Everything we got had lots of flavor and felt like you were eating something nourishing. Very casual eating environment, which we liked. Highly recommend!

We ordered the tempeh tacos, black bean tostada, jackfruit carnitas street tacos, t.l.t., Asian slaw salad and spring rolls. The Asian salad was drenched in dressing, way too much. The spring rolls fell apart so easily. Maybe they should be double wrapped. The tacos lacked flavor or some seasoning. The only dish that was finished was the t.l.t. Disappointing meals. FYI any order over $80 has a 20% additional surcharge. So the meal came out to almost $120 for 4 people and 3 drinks. Not worth it.

Great little vegan spot next to the health food store. We ordered the shine sandwich they recommended but it fell apart. It tasted good though! Also a bit weird, I asked the lady if she could wipe the table for us (we have a 1 year-old son) and she pointed to a dirty rag and said “go for it.” So hold my kid and wash my own table, just after throwing $4 cash tip in the jar for one sandwich.. got it. They closed while we were eating and didn’t seem to like us there that late in their day (even though we were fast). Anyway great menu and inside is cozy plus they have outdoor seating. I’d go back for a smoothie, they looked great. Maybe a different sandwich that doesn’t fall apart when you pick it up (bread good but broke as soon as I touched it on both halves).

Lovely place with lots of vegan options Loved it. The juice blends were refreshing fresh and great combinations. The breakfast taco was extremely flavourful and it was great to have a vegan pancake which was made with healthy buckwheat. The bagel sandwich was delicious too. We took a take out of vegan tiramisu and chocolate and strawberry balls which was awesome. Love this small vegan vegetarian cafe with its lovely friendly staff and service. Must visit if in Morro bay.

Best Mexican restaurant in Morro Bay, in my opinion. The shrimp burrito and all of their shrimp dishes are amazing. Chips and salsa are always on point. The staff is always very friendly and attentive. Indoor or outdoor seating available. If you’re in Morro Bay, looking for great Mexican food, this is the place.

The service could have been way better. I waited 6 minutes to be seated, even being the only party waiting. There were about 4 tables in the entire restaurant, so being busy was not an excuse. When we were eventually seated, the server disappeared for a bit. It left a bad taste in my mouth. The server did come back around and the food was decent. Nothing to write home about. The flavor was a little bland and the Chile relleno was undercooked. The price was decent, but with everything else considered, it was overpriced. Better service and more flavor will make this place a winner. Chips and salsa are $2.95??? I've never paid for them in any Mexican restaurant. There is also a one refill max policy on soft drinks. Just thought to mention these two things.

A small restaurant hidden in a muddle. Stopped in on a whim for an early lunch. Authentic, cozy and welcoming, we had a seat just inside. The doors were propped open with a cool sea breeze flowing through. Ordered guacamole and bean dip for an appetizer with the Best Horchata I’ve had in years! For the order we had the Chimichangas plate with rice and beans. Just Wow!! All homemade down to the salsas and horchata! Liz wat Thee best! Thank you guys and Mad Love to the chef!!!! ❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️

Just ok. 2nd time I have ordered a breakfast burrito to go. The 1st time it was pretty dry, bland, and missing cheese. So this time I ordered it wet and with extra cheese. Still dry inside and zero cheese. I had to doctor it up at home with hot sauce, cheese, and a bit of sour cream. I should have just made my own. Now I know : /

We've had some fun nights here over the years. ! It's great that they change up the food and cocktail menu regularly, so there's always a new drinks/bites to try, I've never had a bad cocktail here. There is a nice patio in the back with fireplace and games available. It has a stage for bands and concerts with great sound. We love coming for the live music and end up meeting new friends! On some nights they can get really busy but the service is great and everyone is really friendly. The owners have really put love and effort into this place over the years to transform it into the entertaining venue it is today ❤️ Parking on the street USB chargers under bar.

My first experience at the siren was great! Free pool, variety of beers. I believe jason was my bartender, Real cool guy the owners son if im not mistaken. My second time was good for a bit until i mentioned where i worked after being asked by a patron. From that moment i was treated like i wasnt there. Went to the restroom and came back, my coaster as well as my drink was gone, i got the hint, i tried several times to get the bartenders (cacausian guy with earings in his 50s id say) attention, he was a foot away from me and completely ignored me. Sad that personal politics have made their way into the work place and local businesses. I dont think ive ever felt more unwelcome somewhere unfortunately me or my family will not be returning. 10/1/25. 7-9pm

La Katrina Authentic Mexican Cocina in Morro Bay offers a delightful experience for Mexican food enthusiasts. The restaurant serves up traditional homemade Mexican dishes with unique flavors, catering to breakfast, lunch, and dinner crowds. Guests can savor hot breakfast burritos, tasty tacos, and a vibrant kids' menu featuring mini nachos and taquitos. Additionally, the outdoor seating area provides an opportunity to enjoy Mexican cuisine and margaritas while accommodating furry friends.
So, got to check out La Katrina’s several months ago & now back again! Will say, the food is good & I’ve yet to have anything bad from all the plates I’ve ordered. From Chile Relleno, Enchiladas, Taco, Burritos & so on. I will say that the Chile Relleno was my least favorite, but did like it. Was a little hard, almost like it was pulled too soon. All in all: Friendly service, quick, nice atmosphere & good food! Has been a steady go to of mine. Well worth the visit!

Restaurant feels and tastes authentic. By far our favorite Mexican restaurant in the area, even their breakfast is killer. We were here for a week and ate there multiple times, waits are short and staff is friendly. I highly recommend eating here, for any meal of the day, as every bite we had was delicious. Update to this review: We have continued coming here the last few years and have a great experience every visit. Owners are super kind and remember us every visit! The food is as good if not better as when we started coming here, and portion sizes are great. Highly recommend over similar restaurants nearby.

Chowa Bowl is a popular spot in Morro Bay that has recently expanded to accommodate more diners. The new indoor space features high ceilings, vibrant art, and unique fixtures. Customers have praised the Bay Burrata salad for its delightful combination of flavors and the Okie Poke bowl for its freshness and unexpected twist on the classic dish. The service is described as quick and friendly, adding to the overall dining experience.
Regret not getting a second bowl during my stay. Amazing ramen, so much flavor and color. Same goes for the shrimp skewers. Ben if I remember correctly was super nice and very welcoming. The place is such a gem in my opinion and anyone visiting or simply craving something filling and warm should give this place a try. You do have to bus you own dishes but its a literal 5 steps away from any table you sit at. Will be back in the future! Thanks again.

We stopped by to watch sea otters, and this was the perfect place for a light, refreshing meal on a road trip. The poke bowl was absolutely good — fresh, flavorful, and a generous portion. I usually don’t like ginger or onion, but their pickled ginger and onions were good. (But they put too much in one bowl. ) The salad was a nice surprise — super fresh and exactly what I needed after days without enough veggies. I wish I had asked for less sauce, but that’s just my preference since I usually eat lighter on dressing. For most people, it’d probably be just right. The sauce is also good. Note: this is a more self-serving place, at least at lunchtime. I don’t mind and even enjoy it. The only staff/owner in the dining area is also very helpful.

I usually avoid sandwich shops because, let’s be honest—a lot of them suck. The bread is dry, the toppings taste old, and the meat is… well, questionable. But not this place! I was genuinely impressed. My sandwich was delicious—no complaints at all. The bread was fresh, the toppings tasted great, the oil and vinegar were perfectly balanced, and yes, the meat actually tasted good. This will definitely be my go-to sandwich spot whenever I’m in town. Everyone needs a solid sandwich place! The service was friendly, the wait was short, and the sandwich hit the spot. If you haven’t checked it out yet, it’s worth a stop. I’ve been coming to MB for years and only just now gave this place a try. Should’ve done it sooner.

Dutchman's Seafood House is a popular waterfront restaurant in Morro Bay, offering a diverse menu beyond just seafood. While it's known for its clam chowder and fish 'n' chips, the restaurant also serves up options like spicy fried chicken sandwiches and New York Strip Steak. The establishment prides itself on providing the freshest local catch, as it operates its own fishing boats and dock.
Really great experience! The window view was nice, really set the mood for our evening. Our waitress was on it, from cocktails to dessert. The clam chowder was good & my New York was amazing, paired well with the asparagus & mashed potatoes. Washed all of that down with a Bulleit Rye Old Fashioned. Our waitress talked us into ordering the flourless chocolate cake & I'm glad we did, that slice was AMAZING, the cream & mixed fruit (blueberries, strawberries, blackberries & raspberries) that it was served with was absolutely delicious! We will definitely make this our go-to when visiting Morro Bay.

We have come here for about 10 years, as part of our family vacation tradition. We enjoy the view from our tables, along with our cocktails, steaks, and seafood---SOOOO GOOD! My teens loved their salmon plate and very lightly breaded fish/chips platter with garlic fries. The shrimps are always so plump and tasty. Best yet, plenty of adult beverages to choose from, and very reasonably priced! Lastly, the service was great, which added to the whole great experience. This is why we come back every year!

The view is great BUT the food is below average. The fish was frozen and had batter with no seasoning. The shrimp had same batter and no flavor. The onions rings tasted pretty good. We didn’t enjoy our food and we all agreed it was below average. The price is above average; $110 for 3 people… I highly recommend finding another restaurant if you enjoy very good food. I was a little disappointed as we read previous reviews.

Beware!! New ownership and quality has tanked. We have been going here for years and always loved it. This weekend we took my parents for my dad's birthday. First I asked if they gave a birthday treat and they said they don't do that anymore. Then my husband and dad ordered the fish and chips on the specials menu that specifically said three pieces of fish. When they brought out 2 pieces each my husband asked for the missing third piece only to be told "we changed it. Now you get to bigger pieces." The two pieces were quite small for a $28 special. My chopping was almost flavorless other than the burnt taste and the seafood in it was overcooked and rubbery. The only good thing I can say is the waitress was very kind and understanding and even tried to get the cook to just give us the third piece of fish. He said no. He would rather take back the two plates of food and throw them away than comply with what the menu said. Unbelievable!

It has been several years since the last time I stopped in, being the food was bad on my last. So, decided to stop in over the weekend hoping it was better! Sadly, definitely was not… Don’t even know where to start… I will say the service was friendly as always, but that’s where it ended. I got the Spinach, Mushroom & cream cheese omelette, subbed the potatoes with fruit. The omelette was horrible, fruit was what it is (definitely didn’t taste remotely fresh) & the biscuits were good. Water for tea tasted like it just came out of the ocean. It’s unfortunate! Been coming here for many, many years & not sure what happened. This is the place that got me stuck on spinach & mushroom omelettes. No, I did not “complain” about my food. I simply ate it & was on my way. All in all: Friendly staff, semi cozy, where it ends.

I ordered the two pork chops with two eggs over medium crispy, crunchy country fried potatoes with the biscuits and gravy and a black coffee. Of course, the green Cholula. I’m drooling right now and so sad I’m almost 4 hours away, but totally look forward to coming back in a couple months for another amazing dining experience with employees like Sienna and cooks in the back turning out that kind of delicious food.

I don’t usually write reviews like this, but here we are. We decided to give Carla’s a try on our last morning in town — and unfortunately, we regret it. For a business that’s been around a long time, the issues we experienced shouldn’t exist. We were seated after a short wait, but it took nearly 10 minutes before anyone came by for our drink order, and another 10 before our server attempted to take our food order. Twice she had to stop mid-order because “the kitchen was calling her.” On her third try, she finally got it all down. (We overheard her telling the manager about the number of tables she’d been assigned — clearly, staffing was an issue.) Thirty minutes into our visit, we received muffins, toast, and biscuits with gravy — all lukewarm. I’m sure they could’ve been delicious if served hot. Another 10–15 minutes later, just as we were about to leave, our main dishes arrived. One order was wrong (scrambled instead of over-medium eggs), and the rest of the plates had clearly been sitting; once again, the food was lukewarm at best. For first-time visitors, be aware: Carla’s automatically adds a 20% tip for parties of six or more. We paid and left quietly, but if the manager had stopped by, we would have gladly shared our experience directly.

Rose's Bar and Grill in Malibu offers a casually elegant dining experience with a focus on surf and turf dishes, complemented by a rotating selection of local wines. The restaurant provides an inviting atmosphere with ocean views, making it an ideal spot for enjoying seafood feasts or happy hour drinks. The menu features delectable options such as fish tacos, crab sandwiches, and crispy fried fish 'n' chips.
They grilled the prawns in the Prawns and Chips for me as a gf option. Thank you for the dietary accommodation. The prawns were cooked just right, with the right texture and of course being delicious. However, I would love the garlic fries to be more garlicky. Still good though. My husband has the Hot Crab sandwich, which is about 2” tall. Holly was our friendly server.

Drive down, thinking of good Fish and Chips for lunch the entire way. Hit Morro Bay around 1:00. Walked around a bit, remembered this place from a couple years back and stopped in. Small joint, nice enclosed patio. Ordered lunch and the Fish and Chips were awesome! Top 5 i've had. The batter was light and crunchy, the fish was steaming hot. They know how to do it here. Wife had a Cobb salad. Good view of the Morro rock and the bay. Really enjoyed lunch, got to pet the sweet older doggy at the next table Good times!

We've stopped at Rose's in Morrow a few times now And it's always been great. This time though we (I) had an issue with my order (and potentially a bad one) BUT I have to say our waitperson totally took care of it super professionally and with courtesy & understanding. The issue did not sour me on the place, quite the opposite. They handled it perfectly and we left still feeling good about Rose's and will definitely go back! And the view - ah, always amazing!

This was a 5 star dining experience. We enjoyed our wonderfully prepared fresh seafood, the stunning views and a breathtaking sunset. Worth every penny. A visit can be highly recommended.

Great location, good service, average food. Cocktails were a good start and patio seating so a great view of the harbor. Server was helpful if a touch slow, perhaps too many tables to manage, but not enough to cause problems. We had appetizers and the oysters tasted fresh. All the food was ok, nothing spectacular but not bad at all. It's the location like all the places we've been to on the boardwalk. Great spot to stop, good enough service and reasonably tasting food at elevated pricing.

My daughter and her fiancé were married in Morro Bay February 22, 2025. We had an amazing “Wedding Weekend” filled with a Welcoming Party on Friday evening, a ceremony and reception on Saturday, and a Farewell Brunch on Sunday. We decided to host the Farewell Brunch at the Harbor Hut. Harbor Hut stepped up and ended our “Wedding Weekend” with superb service, food and drinks! Max, the general manager, was wonderful to work with and accommodated all of our guests (approximately 50) with amazing customer service. Max allowed us to created a personalized brunch menu that included entree choices, the newlyweds names, and specialty drinks. Such a nice personal touch! The staff was friendly and fun- just like the ambience and decor of the Harbor Hut. It was such a relief to end our weekend of celebrations here- We had to add absolutely nothing to prepare the space! The Harbor Hut has a unique tiki/surfer vibe and hosts a beautiful view of Morro Bay across the back of the restaurant. Cheers to Max and the Harbor Hut Family. Thank you for allowing us to celebrate with all of you and for providing a wonderful ending to our “Wedding Weekend” celebration in Morro Bay. We highly recommend Harbor Hut when looking for a great restaurant in Morro Bay.

Harbor Hut in Morro Bay is an absolute gem, offering a delightful seafood dining experience with breathtaking views of the bay. From start to finish, our meal was a testament to the culinary excellence and warm hospitality that Harbor Hut is known for. As we stepped into the spacious restaurant, we were immediately captivated by the panoramic view of the bay, setting the perfect backdrop for a sunset dinner. The ambiance was serene and sophisticated, creating an ideal atmosphere for an adult dining experience. The menu, while not overwhelming, boasted a variety of options, from locally caught seafood to salads, soups, and even chicken and steak dishes. For our mains, I opted for the shrimp scampi, accompanied by a delectable array of vegetables and the star of the show – the fried potato cake. Let me tell you, this potato cake deserves its own accolades – herb mashed potatoes breaded with parmesan cheese and fried to perfection. Each bite was a heavenly explosion of flavor. The shrimp scampi, served with a lemon butter and caper broth for dipping, was equally divine. My partner indulged in the fish and chips, a generous portion of beer-battered cod accompanied by steak fries. He couldn't stop raving about the savory tartar sauce and the delightful pineapple coleslaw that accompanied the dish. Despite our best intentions, we were too full to even contemplate dessert, a testament to the generous portions and satisfying flavors of our meal. Overall, Harbor Hut exceeded our expectations in every way. With its stellar food, welcoming atmosphere, and stunning views, it's a must-visit destination for seafood lovers and anyone seeking an unforgettable dining experience in Morro Bay.

I WANTED TO ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE SO BAD! The waitress was excellent, the service was excellent, the view was phenomenal! But the food…… oh my… the chowder tasted like nothing. I had an Asian salad that was def a frozen or microwaved chewy chicken breast. Stir fry Frozen veggie mix in a salad? Like really? Cut a fresh pepper bro, we’re in CA. Lettuce was fresh at least…. Fish and chips, fish were good, not over bartered like a lot of places, but again, fries, no seasoning 🤭…..at this point we were just like give me all the salt and pepper. It was just a letdown. We walked by the outdoor burger hut, and that area smelled flavorful.🤣

Awesome pub to chill and completely relax. They had a live band playing which kept the place toe tapping vibrant and fun. Amazing singer and band players: “Live Again Band “ lead singer was Alex from Santa Cruz. Good varieties of beers some wines and they make 3 types of mimosas. As usual they serve bar food which is not bad. The best part is that they are right on the harbour front so when you dine and drink one can gaze deep into the ocean.

Great food and beer. Ordered fish & chips as well as shrimp & chips. The shrimp tasted better than the fish. Also ordered the fried pickles and they were delicious.

Paul the bartender, thank you for treating everyone as equals whether they know everything or nothing about beer. You were friendly, told stories, checked on the patrons and I can tell you really dig your job. 10/10 The view is great 10/10 the food is decent 4/10. The beer is good 8/10. The only thing we always notice (because we visit every-time we are in Morro) is that the space could use a bit more aesthetic love. We get that it’s a funky eclectic place, but looks run down and we wish the owners would take a bit more pride in the condition of the environment.

They had good food. I enjoyed the curry and drunken noodles really well. The fried spring rolls was not very impressive. It could use more time on the fryer on higher temp. I love the decors and the ambience. Usually, visitors to Morro Bay will choose fish n chips an restaurants by the water but this Thai restaurant was a better choice for us that night since we wanted a break from seafoods. Service was quick and servers were attentive.

Absolutely love this place, grew up in Morro Bay Area and always come back to it. The food has always been incredible and lives up to my expectations of some great Thai food. I can’t think of a time I came here and either had a bad experience or disliked the food. On top of the amazing dishes, their service is amazing with relatively quick orders, inclusive staff and lack of issues ordering. Love the area and location, just wish maybe one day the seating area is expanded to invite more people to enjoy Thai elephant. I recommend either the green curry or of course some good chicken pad Thai.

From house-made black bean burgers to green juices and smoothie bowls, there's something for everyone. The menu features colorful offerings including bountiful breakfast bowls and fresh-pressed juice.
Such a cute little place! I went here a few days ago and was pleasantly surprised! I ordered the bagel and lox and a small coffee with coconut milk. The girl taking my order was very sweet and very helpful with her suggestion since it was my first time there. My coffee came out first and the bagel only took an extra 5 minutes or so. Everything tasted delicious! Keep in mind that this shop is not very big so seating can be limited when it is the weekend and there’s a lot of visitors in Morro Bay, but this little eatery is worth the visit! (They have a couple of places to sit outside as well.) I will definitely be going back to try many more items on their menu. If you have dietary restrictions, vegan, or vegetarian then this is a perfect spot. Even if you’re just stopping for a snack!

My wife and I stumbled across Goddess Goods in Morro Bay and I am so glad we did. I went with the strawberry cream matcha with whole milk and let me tell you, it did not last long at all. It was gone in minutes. That combo of earthy matcha with the sweet cream and strawberry just hit different. Super smooth, not chalky at all like some matchas can be, and perfectly balanced. The lady working there was honestly the best part of the visit. She went above and beyond helping us choose a drink. There were a ton of options with different house-made syrups and creams and she made it fun to pick something. You could tell she genuinely cared that we found something we’d enjoy. The vibe inside was super laid-back and beachy with a little wellness feel to it, and the place just felt like a local favorite. Definitely the kind of spot you remember and want to come back to. If you like matcha or even just want to try something new that’s not your typical coffee shop menu, this place is worth a stop.

Lox & bagel was okay but improperly constructed. First the menu description doesn’t mention the honey lemon dill sauce. I would have told them to leave it off if I had known. The cappers and red onions weren’t placed on the scant cream cheese (for $13.50 you can at least get generous with the cream cheese), but placed top of the salmon, rolling off. But my biggest complaint is the excessive wait. 40 minutes to get a simple uncooked product that should have been done in 5 minutes. The owner will likely dispute everything I have stated. Go ahead. But I recommend you take my advice and you will have a better product.

What kind of operation are they running here? This is the worst hot fudge Sunday I've ever seen! I asked for it with nuts, and they served the nuts in a plastic container on the side.

They would rather force an elderly woman to poop in her pants than let her use the restroom before paying for something. Which is exactly what they did to one of the people I was with today. Very rude staff. She said “please, I’m about to poop my pants” and started crying (it’s her birthday) and the person at the counter said “paying customers only, sorry”. The woman’s husband came in and paid for a drink so she could use the restroom but by then it was too late. Absolutely disgusting and disrespectful staff. Should be fired on the spot for robbing an elderly woman of basic decency and dignity.

I love getting their soft serve cones and shakes. + Menu has your typical American diner fare - burgers, sandwiches, hot dogs, and fries. + They have their own parking lot with plenty of spaces + There is a restroom for customers + Interior has plenty of seating —booths and tables. + Decor is very old fashioned, but they have a very clean fish tank! + Service is very friendly, but can be slow + Prices are pretty expensive for fast food. My husband and I spent $30 on lunch which we felt was on the pricey side for the quality. + Their burgers are a little dry and unmemorable. I always get their fried chicken sandwiches. Slightly more flavorful and tasty. + I’m not a fan of the French fries here. They are thick and mealy. Overall, this is a great place to get desserts but okay for food. The prices are high for the quality of food. They have weekday specials that are 2 for $4 that make it a little more reasonable. Depending on the day of the week, they have corn dogs, ice cream, and burrito specials.

Taco Bell is a popular fast-food chain known for its Mexican-inspired menu featuring items like tacos, quesadillas, and nachos. It's a go-to spot for late-night cravings with some locations staying open until midnight or 1 a.m. Customers appreciate the convenience of ordering through the app and the friendly service from staff members. While opinions on food quality may vary, Taco Bell remains a reliable option for quick bites, especially during late hours when other dining options are limited.
Consistently better quality food than other locations. Just make sure to go through the drive through because like all fast food places they are required to prioritize the drive through

I came two and a half hours to morro bay from Kerman, California, not for the rock or the beach, but because of my love for Taco Bell. Words cannot express my displeasure with the service I received nor the experience in which I had to endure, but I will make the effort to use them nonetheless. I waited over half an hour for my meal me when all I wanted was a simple deluxe combo to impede my starvation; a Mountain Dew to quench my thirst. I left the Taco Bell that day a fragmented man, a man who now knew the suffering of starving kids in Africa. I will never travel two and a half hours for Taco Bell again. thanks a lot morro bay Taco Bell. I think the rock was more attentive to my me as a consumer and paying customer than the employees at the Taco Bell that day.

After I ordered my food, I went to use the restroom. The restroom was so filthy it showed a lack of caring by the Taco Bell at that location. If the restroom was that bad, what about the rest of the restaurant? There was fecal matter on the toilet, floor and wall. It was dry and flaky so it was not new. The sink looked like it had not been cleaned in at least a month. I paid $27.09 for food that I threw away because there is no way I would eat from there.

I waited from 9:14 PM to 9:50 PM for an order. It was not a large order. It was one of their deluxe box orders. I originally ordered inside the establishment, and was told that next time to go through the drive-through because they are on drive-through timers. Unfortunately, this is a common theme at this restaurant. While I was waiting for my order, one customer walked out without even being able to place an order because there was no one at the counter, another who had already placed an order, asked for a refund because they had to leave after waiting for about 15 minutes.

No greating. The young man mumbled into the speaker, I asked him twice and it sounded like move up. I get to the window, the young man asked who took my order. I told him I heard move up. He proceeds to tell me he said are you using the mobile app. I said no. He looks at me and tells me I have to re-enter the drive through and go back to the end of the line. Restaurant 101 is to always take care of your customer. So I went to berger king was treated as a valued guest. I ended up spending more there due to how I was treated. I don't expect they will reach out. But I will not be going to that location again.

Ordered take-out with inside pickup. Food was promised at 6:06...came out at 6:16. They prioritize drive-thru over counter. Food is Taco Bell, it's not 5-star but you know what you're getting.

This place will never have good costumer service, seems like it gets worse by the day. Guy on Saturday night drive thru 6/14/25 always give me an attitude. Seems like he really hates his job. Sad this place has never improved.

McDonald's is a beloved fast-food institution that has been serving up classic burgers and fries for years. While enjoying their famous Chicken McNuggets, some customers have noted the occasional oversight with sauces, but the hot and fresh chicken paired with crispy fries still hits the spot. The menu also features popular sandwiches like the Big Mac and Filet-O-Fish, though some diners have found them lacking in sauce.
Standard McDonald’s fare, but I’m giving 5 stars for the excellent staff that was courteous, friendly and extremely helpful from the cashier to the shift manager. We were in town for a water polo tournament and had multiple orders, including 100 nuggets and five large fries. Order a were filled fast and efficiently and we had a grateful group of Water Polo players.

Omg Haven’t had Mickey D’s this good for a long time The fries refresh I ordered a six dollar meal and the hamburger literally had onions all over with pickles literally not just bunched up in the center. Very good. Made a mistake with my drink and he did not and she did not get upset to fix it. They gladly did it. Good service n fast I don’t know why not five stars
Ange B — Google review
35 years ago the quality of the beef patties we're stellar. However now, the beef patties have a strange smell to them. And where are the salads? McDonald's used to have the greatest salads. The outside tables are completely dirty and look like they have not been wiped off in months. The service was great the food is lacking , and to be able to eat outside on a great day is hard at a dirty table.

Get your food to go. The tables are tiny, and the chairs are very uncomfortable. Food and staff are great, very fast. 08/31/25 Received a egg Mcmuffin, it tasted terrible. Probably because it wasn't event my order. Whoops again.

Burger King is a popular fast-food establishment known for its grilled burgers, fries, and shakes. It offers lunch throughout the day, allowing customers to order a burger even as early as 6 am. While some have given it four stars instead of five due to slow service, the overall atmosphere is pleasant with friendly staff. The restaurant exhibits excellent customer service, handling busy dinner rushes like professionals. The individuals taking orders are welcoming and helpful, while the manager is also kind and accommodating.
On this location the drive-thru will not busy but there was customers about every 2 minutes inside was two other people very clean they didn't have for the kids the crown and for the drinks they have that machine that dispense different kinds of variety sample with you choose Coke another display will pop up saying Cherry cook Vanilla Coke line

Okay, I love a good burger, and Burger King has good burgers for a fast food restaurant. No surprise, we know what to expect from BK. If you find yourself wishing for a different tasting whopper, you're in luck. They sell a variety to choose from. I oder a regular double with cheese and then ask for their barbecue sauce and put it on. It's a good tasting burger.
William B — Google review
I added the picture of what I ordered and this is what I was given tonight. Online it says they’re open. And they were still accepting orders. My food had no vegetables, the mozzarella fries are burnt, they gave the wrong drink, and gave us. They charged me for a large fry that they charged me for and didn’t even get that either.
Brandi M — Google review
By far the most cleanest and friendliest Burger King I’ve been too. Also the food looked exactly like what was on the menu compared to other ones I’ve been too.
Ryan K — Google review
Great place to eat. They serve lunch all the time, you can order a burger at 6 am if you like. The only reason I gave it 4 stars in stead of 5 is because the service is very slow, it takes what seems like forever to get your food after you place an order, other than that it has a good atmosphere and friendly people.

Domino's Pizza is a popular delivery and carryout chain that offers an extensive selection of pizzas and various other dishes and sides. The staff at Domino's are known for their exceptional customer service, always being prompt and incredibly polite. One suggestion from customers is the option to order extra alfredo sauce for pasta online, eliminating the need to call and ask for it. With a long-standing core crew, Domino's ensures that things are done right every time.
Pizza was great, per the norm. But I wanted to recognize the super quick delivery and pleasant & efficient delivery driver. Additionally we had multiple different sauces & cutlery that could've easily been forgotten, especially during peak business hours. But everything, down to the last garlic sauce and plastic fork was accounted for. And let's face it, those little things can make or break the meal. Thank you, great job!

Would never order food from here again, I ordered a chicken and spinach thin crust pizza specifically asked for Alfredo sauce, I received an onion olive pineapple thin crust pizza with red sauce, I know it had to be on purpose because what kind of psychopath eats a pizza with onion olives and pineapple, yall need to do better

I'm a Dominoes fan but the oven at this one is too hot. My pizza and chicken were burnt and the pizzas I saw being boxed up looked just as bad. Lots of big crust bubbles too. Not quite the Domino's standard.

Ordered a large pepperoni. Received pizza overcooked. Called and Manager said a new pizza would arrive in 20 minutes. 45 minutes later, we had to call to get an update and they had forgotten to put in the new pizza. 2nd pizza finally arrived which was lukewarm and mildly better cooked. Never had a problem at this location before. Very disappointing.
Eric T — Google review
The young lady working in there with the multi colored hair should be retrained or termed! How can you handle cash and then go straight into making pizza. She touched raw dough with unwashed hands right after handling cash, disgusting. I have my videos and photos that I'll be sharing with the SLO County Board of Health. Also, the employee shouldn't be parking in the disabled parking area. It is rude and illegal! Needless to say it'll be a cold day in hell before I return here. We threw all our food out, what a waste!

Fast food restaurant
Tacos El Viejon is a hidden gem that offers an authentic taste of Mexico, featuring a diverse selection of meats like Asada, Pastor, and Carnitas. This cozy spot stands out for its fresh and homemade flavors, with dishes that pack a punch—especially the creamy guacamole sauce! While their desserts are commercially packaged, they still hit the spot. The friendly staff adds to the welcoming atmosphere as you enjoy generous portions of flavorful tacos and burritos.
Every time we go to a Mexican restaurant I have to try the chilaquiles. These by far are the best I’ve had! The beans are the best beans you can ever have. The tacos are also very delicious. Definitely a place to come back to eat to when coming back to Moro Bay in the future.

This small taco shop boasts a solid salsa bar and shrimp tostadas done properly, Baja-style.
Erin K — Google review
We love eating at Tacos El Viejon. It is a Spanish language imersion experience, full of Mexican culture. Spanish on the TV, Spanish spoken at the tables, and at the counter, if you wish. We especially love the cheese and shrimp tacos, the carnitas, and the al pastor. The crispy tacos are a treat. They are deep fried shells, not the store bought box style. Everything is very good. The green sauce is tasty, flavorful, without too much heat. The food is on the salty side, and I like it, it goes great with cold beer. This is a fun experience with a sweet and friendly crew. Parking is on the street and in the back. Very convenient. Plenty of indoor only seating. Tami says try 'em brah!

This place is 1000% authentic. The salsas are fresh from the bar and everything is flavorful. This place leaves Taco Temple in the dust. If you want real Mexican food def come here. It's perfect and everyone is friendly. Everything is excellent, but the Pozole is *chef's kiss* on a cool day. If you're done with a serf or want to bring a burrito to the beach this is hands down the spot.
Reg G — Google review
This is a small restaurant away from the city center. We decided to get out of the embarcadero & check out the other places around. The girl working the register was friendly. We ordered red chilaquiles, came asada taco w/ cheese, & an asada burrito. The portions were really good & the flavor was good. The chilaquiles were a bit spicy, but fine for those who don't mind that. The taco was my favorite because they are not stingy with their servings at all!!
Ale E — Google review
If you need a break from all the great seafood in town, come here for delicious and authentic Mexican food. The alambre torta was super tasty and made even better with a dash of salsa from the fantastic salsa bar. Service was quick, prices fair, seating plentiful (I did to-go) and bathroom clean. 10/10 would return.
P W — Google review
The place seemed small but held plenty of seating. We ordered and sat down. It didn't seem like they offered fountain drinks but there plenty of can and bottle choices. I had two chicken tacos and my husband had burrito pastor. The burrito was large and there were plenty of sauce choices. My tacos were very good and the Pico de Gallo made them perfect. The food is very authentic and it all looked and smelled great.
