We've lived here locally for 45 years and have passed this restaurant many times. Yesterday we…read moredecided to give it a try. Sadly, it was a huge disappointment. We both ordered the seafood platter for lunch, and chose the soup as the side (one clam chowder, one chicken tortilla). While the wait staff was very good and the wait time was typical for noontime, once the food arrived, the quality of the meal was quite substandard, especially for this area. I have never had such gristly fish, ever. I had to work hard to cut through it with a typical butter knife. It had no flavor and was unpleasant to chew. There was no flakiness to any of the four pieces. The shrimp was good, but I assume it was frozen. The cocktail sauce and the tartar sauce were both delicious, but it just wasn't enough to mask the texture of the fish. I then tried the chicken tortilla soup since the waiter recommended it. Instead of chicken meat, it has chicken skin. Gross. I will say the clam chowder was very good, and I regretted not ordering it. I'm sorry to say we won't be back unless just for a cup of chowder and a beer.

We were not disappointed. Cool vibe walking in playing 80's music and Classic TV Little Rascals and Three Stooges playing. Service was quick didn't wait more than 10 minutes for our food to arrive. I got the Christy's Waffle combo. We shared the waffle and biscuits and gravy. The home fries were amazing and seasoned well. No need to add salt or pepper. Hubby got the Man's Best Friend omelette he said "delicious to the last bit ". They also sell tshirts and coffee beans to go. Our waitress was so friendly and quick to serve us. This place will be our go to when we're back in Pismo Beach

The menu has a bunch of fun breakfasts that was a nice change of pace from the omelettes and pancakes that other places are making. I ordered the sunrise tacos and they were pretty good. The corn tortillas were solid, and I would say everything blended really well together flavor wise. And everything was cooked perfectly. The rest of the family felt maybe a little more neutral toward their breakfasts but I very much enjoyed my meal. Seating is limited inside so you might be left with just outdoor seating, but turnover rate it pretty decent. Overall, fair prices and quality food that J enjoyed. Probably my favorite breakfast place so far in pismo

Even Justin our food runner took the time to make sure we were happy with the food and had everything we needed. They had some new items on the menu, we tried the short-rib tacos which were amazing. And of course Dustin at the bar was awesome as always. Despite not having been there in a few months, he remembered our drinks. This is by far the best restaurant and hotel in Pismo Beach.

The place retained its small town coastal charm, on purpose, I believe. And the food. The clam chowder in the bread bowl is brain melting good.

Stopped by Holy Belly on a Friday morning--more brunch time than breakfast--but we still went with…read morebreakfast, and I'm glad we did. I had the La Royale, which I'd describe as a decadent French toast sandwich loaded with thinly sliced grilled ham and gooey Swiss cheese. It was excellent. We also tried the ricotta pancakes with blueberry compote, which were equally delicious--light, flavorful, and a great complement to the savory La Royale. Prices were very reasonable, service was friendly and attentive, and the location was convenient with easy parking. Holy Belly is definitely going on our list of go-to breakfast and brunch spots the next time we're in town. Looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu!

There's a lot better breakfast, places in town, like pennies or honeymoon Café…read more I got eggs, Benedict with bacon instead of Canadian bacon. The English muffin is all doughy and not toasted. I shouldn't have to ask them to toast an English muffin. That's just common sense. The eggs were very runny and the bacon was mostly fat and not crispy and it was too salty to eat. The hollandaise sauce is very salty as well and to much on top. They are not flexible or accommodating to a customer's requests. They also charge a 3% fee for using a credit card. No thanks. (That's one way to lose business.) The lights are very low and strange. You have to adjust your eyes. Way too dark in there. Parking is not easy. We won't be back.

Absolutely satisfying cinnamon roll experience! We got two contrasting topping choices (Maple…read moreBacon & Cherry Cream) and loved both options as we ate them out on the pier seating. The shop is very cute and the option to watch the rolls get cut, needed, and shaped through the transparent dividers offered a fun experience while we warmed our buns in their customer-accessible microwave. As with any Pismo Beach business in the downtown area, your experience with crowds will vary depending on if you go on a weekday or weekend. The shop will be notably bustle-filled with lines if you go during the hot days of Friday through Sunday.

More like room temperature but absolutely satisfying. More on the bread side rather than cake like. Reasonable for the value at five dollars each. There were three tables out front and a bench at their side parking lot as far as seating. Known for the long lines but non-existent for me on a week day. Appreciate how different in comparison to others. Would certainly make a return.

A trip to Pismo coming from Fresno…read more First off the hospitality and service is just wonderful here. Super nice people working here. It's a small little shop inside but they have a quiet patio seating out in the back that is shaded. Also they have their own homemade sourdough. I got the roast beast sandwich was great, super filling, fresh ingredients, and tasty. My husband got the saucy pig, it has pulled pork inside with a side of pasta salad. The pasta salad was good but just a tad on the salty side. My kids had the lil clicker, nice bun with turkey meat and mayo combo. The kids enjoyed it. They have a clean restroom for their customers. Food will be brought out to you. Wonderful place for a quick bite.

Place your order at the counter and they will give you a pager to let you know when your food will be ready at the pick up window. We grabbed two cold beers at the bar and took them to a table outside while we waited for our food. The patio deck is big with plenty of tables looking out towards the beach and ocean. I got the fish and chips while my wife got the calamari strips and chips. They were both perfectly cooked and crispy, as fish and chips should be! This is the perfect spot to end your day at the beach!
