The food was absolutely fabulous, but what truly made the evening special was our waitress, Anne. Anne has a cheerful, professional personality that immediately made us feel welcome. She was attentive, friendly, and helped make our family celebration feel extra special. She checked on us throughout the meal, anticipated our needs, and always did so with a genuine smile. Celebrating a 92nd birthday is a memorable occasion, and Anne played a big part in making it such a joyful experience. Outstanding service, delicious food, and a warm atmosphere--we couldn't have asked for a better evening. Thank you, Anne, and the entire Pismo's team for helping us create such a special memory for Grandma! Happy 91nd Birthday to Grandma! What a wonderful milestone to celebrate with family.

Pismo's looks like the kind of place where seafood should be the easy choice. Unfortunately, almost…read moreall the seafood we ordered was disappointing. QUICK TAKE Get: Blackened Salmon Tacos Skip: Ultimate Combo Louie, Shrimp Cocktail, Grilled Alaskan Halibut Know: Several of the seafood dishes tasted dry or tired, and the meal did not feel worth the price. The only thing I would recommend is the Blackened Salmon Tacos. They come with fire-roasted salsa, avocado, cabbage-cilantro slaw, pico de gallo and lime crema. These had much better flavor, texture, and balance than the rest of our meal. Unfortunately, the other seafood was where things really fell apart. Ultimate Combo Louie: This comes loaded with jumbo prawns, shrimp and Dungeness crab, so at $38 I expected it to feel like a premium seafood salad. It didn't. The seafood lacked freshness and the shrimp in particular were soft and soggy. Shrimp Cocktail: Probably the most disappointing item. The shrimp tasted old and had a limp, waterlogged texture instead of being firm and fresh. Grilled Alaskan Halibut: At $42, this should have been one of the highlights. Instead, the fish was dry and overcooked, which is especially frustrating with a piece of halibut at this price. Hoisin Brussels Sprouts: Way too sweet for me. The sweetness completely overwhelmed the Brussels sprouts instead of complementing them.

The menu presented extensive and adventurous options that as first timers could have been intimidating but with the help of Donavin our delightful server, we selected the perfect seafood salad for the Mrs. and the curated selection of Maki (delicious sushi "tacos") that together made for the perfect share. Add to that a smooth Japanese beer and a surprisingly moderate overcast that made our dinner on the patio the perfect way to celebrate our first meeting 47 years ago. There were so many other tempting menu options that we'll look forward to sampling on our next for sure visit. Hopefully we will have the pleasure of having Donavin as our server even though our observation is that all the young people serving are helpful and gracious .

I opted for rice instead of fries to balance all the fried food. The rice was a great choice but I did not expect the serving to be so massive. It was three of each item along with the coleslaw. The container wouldn't even close and it was given in a massive paper bag just to accommodate the weight. Huge serving and very satisfying. My favorite was surprisingly the fish, then shrimp, then oysters. I did not even come close to finishing all the fried deliciousness. I'll definitely be back to try something else and probably bring a friend to split the food with.

And you get HUUUUGE portions of everything. Truly blown away by the portions. If you want A LOT of food, you'll get it here. Great value! ORDER: Wanted chowder & crab but they had neither. Calamari: Decent! I like the onions. Triple Play (6 pieces of fish, fries & coleslaw): HUUUGE pieces of fish that were nicely moist. Tempura Veggies: Not tempura batter. Same batter as fish. Wouldn't order again. Head-On Shrimp: Fried too long so they were hard. Wish they'd been not so hard. Overall, I'm sure many will like this place, but my problem is the batter is too thick & not at all seasoned. This is somewhere between American & Chinese, but doesn't truly lean into either. Lemon or some acidic slaw are essential to cut thru the fried. Ketchup & hot sauce would help. Tartar sauce wasn't great. Having some non-battered/fried options would be really great. Still, I might try them again. Hope they reach their target audience.

The place is spacious, like so many tables and they accommodated our large group of 9! I think their prices are reasonable and they give a good amount of proteins, especially because other places always run out of seafood. Generous portions, they even give you more buttery sauce on the side if asked. I will always choose this place as our go-to seafood boil restaurant!!

This restaurant is huge, with indoor and outdoor seating available. Our server was real nice and she made sure we had what we needed.

Honest Review The…read morefood was honestly pretty mid. The pasta tasted mid and was a little disgusting, and it didn't really have much flavor. The burger was okay but definitely overcooked and not very juicy. It was missing some flavor. The garlic fries were probably the best thing we ordered. The hibiscus lemonade was decent, and the mocktail we got was actually really good. As for the service, some of the staff were really nice and welcoming, but I did feel a little uncomfortable toward the end. When I asked if I could pay with cash instead of card, I got the impression that the person seating us assumed I was going to leave a tip and seemed disappointed when I clarified that I was just paying cash. I also felt like some of the servers were giving us an attitude afterward because we didn't tip. Overall, tipping is a personal choice, and I don't think customers should feel judged or pressured because of it. Some of the staff were genuinely kind, but unfortunately the food and the experience weren't enough for me to want to come back.

I was pleasantly surprised by the seafood here. Their steamed fish is outstanding. The portion is…read moregenerous, and the fish is really savory, tender, and well seasoned. Just beware that it does take longer to cook than some of the other dishes on the menu, so be prepared for a little bit of a wait. It is definitely worth it. From August 1st through August 31st, kids eat free as long as the adults/parents purchase an entree, which is a really good deal. I would definitely recommend the steamed fish. It comes with a side of rice and a salad, and it's filling enough that you get a lot for your money. I also like that they have a membership rewards app that you can download. It's under Lin's Restaurant Group. I can go to their neighboring restaurants and the discounts and rewards really add up, especially if you eat at these places often. The kids chow mein and orange chicken. My kids loved it. The orange chicken comes with a side of rice. Like I said, there was a little bit of a wait for the fish, but it was absolutely worth it. You can almost taste the love in the food.

Probably my favorite place to get Chinese food from as someone who doesn't really like Chinese food…read morelol. I like that the food isn't super greasy like typical Chinese food and the flavors in each dish are amazing. It's also nice that they give either white rice or a salad on the side if you order an entree. My favorite entrees have to be the sweet & sour chicken, orange chicken, and the mango chicken. The new Brasen beef is pretty good too and the wings appetizer. I've only dined at the restaurant twice but the customer service is pretty good. Everyone is polite and happy. Since the restaurant is kind of small, it does feel a little cramped inside when it gets packed which can make some people feel claustrophobic. This is why I typically just order to-go hehe
