We visited Pismo's to celebrate my grandmother's 91nd birthday, and the entire experience was…read morewonderful. 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.

Our waiter was cheerful, helpful and accommodating. I ordered a cup of whit clam chowder, the swordfish dinner with cilantro rice and satiated mushrooms. My daughter ordered a cup of chowder as well and the fish and shrimp player with garlic fries. Everything came piping out, delicious and juicy. Seasoned perfectly! We both brought food home and were full to the brim! Another delightful meal, and I am sure we will return to try something different! Good eat in a fantastic atmosphere with great service. Happy eating in Fresno.

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.

Average service. No ambiance or seating at all. Don't anticipate sitting down to eat your burning…read morehot crunchy food. It's to-go only. Food is fresh fried to order! Big plus! 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. The menu has a lot of options to choose from, you can change the seasonings on the boil and on other menu items. We did the garlic seasoning with lemon and I really enjoyed it. The spice level was perfect I almost wanted it spicer. Overall it's worth the money. I'll definitely be coming back.

We wanted some fish and we came to this place. Our 3rd time we come here…read more I wanted to try the lobster roll. My husband got the shrimp and fish with fries. My daughter the fish and fries. We got there and they greeted us and asked us if we needed any help. They have screens to make the order but they also accept for you to order with them. So we knew how to use the screen only that we took our time choosing our food and they thought we were having issues. So we appreciated that they care but at the same time made us feel like we needed to rush. When we got the food my husband shrimp seemed kind of overcooked. Looks on the burnt side. The fish was ok. The fries were very little to our believe. They looked very little on the plate. My daughter's fish was ok but the portion of the fries again seemed very little. My lobster roll was a little too small but then again it was good for the price. I should've order two. Because I did liked it. The drinks were not too good. They got drinks from the fountain drinks and they don't like the ones they offered. They like the Dr Pepper and they didn't have any. The clam chowder was very good. Again I should've order another plate. Next time we will order accordingly. Usually we are happy with our food. Just the shrimp and the fries issue. We will comeback. Ambiance it's very familiar and friendly.
