    I like going to the cozy to-go area because I know I'm about to get a yummy meal to take home. The people who work at that counter are so friendly and accommodating. I ordered the feast for 2 for my birthday and was told about a free dessert through the app for birthdays. I got ate the bbq ribs, tritip, roast chicken, mashed potatoes, mac & cheese, cobs of corn, and corn bread. This is such a great deal for the amount of food. Their app also has coupons and deals which make it even better. Everything tastes delicious. The meat was tender and seasoned perfectly, the sauce had good flavor, and the sides perfectly accompanied wonderful meal. Great bbq for the most decent price in Fresno.

    My family of 3 ordered the American feast and it is more than enough. It has fries, corn bread, chili beans, cole slaw corn on the cob, oven roasted chicken, full slab of ribs and pull pork. We add devil's spit to our bbq. Ooh so good! I also always love ordering their jalapeño/corn Mac and cheese! It is so creamy with a hint of spiciness. Our waitress was very friendly and made sure to check on us every chance she got. Atmosphere of the restaurant was good and we had no wait on Saturday evening. The price is the only thing that keeps us from going regularly, it is pricey. But other than that great!

    My daughter and son wanted to go eat here after shopping all day. The food was great!. The ribs were smoked to a perfection. The meat just fell off the bone. The fries were fresh and steaming hot. The pork had the perfect amount of bark. The place was clean. And our server was great, I highly recommend this place if you're in the area and craving bbq.

    Had a good meal along with good service from the server Tania. She was very attentive and kind will be looking forward to coming again.

    The burnt pork, fat and gristle.

    Besides the cubed pork being burnt beyond eatable half the sandwich was fat and gristle. Service was pretty terrible too

    Showing me my order before packing it.....looks GREAT!

    9/1/25 Happy Labor Day!! Getting lunch! Hailey took the order and was very kind! Cajun chicken sandwich with no mayo & cornbread & Rib Tips appetizer ordered. She said it would be ready in 10-15 min. Arrived to get it! They have a to-go door/entrance. Small wait and greeted by nice worker. Received order shortly later with good day wishes! Asked & given extra bbq sauce. Lunchtime! Order split! Rib tips were Delicious! Even better with the Devil's Spit BBQ sauce! Cajun chicken sandwich 1/2 was Great! Fresh & Tasty! Cornbread' was GREAT too. Full, but had to try a bite. It cane with fries and they were GREAT too! Fantastic lunch with TONS of leftovers! Mother said hers was Really GREAT too!! She loved it all! We definitely have another meal with how much food was given! Good service & Great lunch! Highly recommended!!

    Papa wanted BBQ for his bday so we took him here... The food was bomb and the ribs were so tender they fell off the bone! The waitress was awesome and was in a bubbly mood... her smile was beautiful and she was very attentive to the birthday boy. The place was very clean and well organized... now my son wants to go back for his birthday!

    Is the banana pudding pretty authentic tasting or do you taste imitation banana flavor coming through?

    We do not use any imitation banana flavoring :)

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.

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.

    I would have to start with this is definitely not JPot. If you think that you're coming here for…read morethe same experience, you're definitely are not going to get the same thing. Yes it's soup but beyond that the experience in the presentation is completely different. It was a little quieter and more laid-back it felt a little bit more upper class. I feel like I would have to come here two or three times to fully find what my favorite things are. I tried the spicy miso broth. But if I come back, I'll get something different and I'll probably have to try a few before I end up finding my exact favorite. The experience here was more about timing and what you're cooking instead of making a soup with everything in it and then eating it. I would have to say that everything that I had was good. Not really big on tofu and their money bags tasted OK a little bit sweet in the end. The corn was really sweet to me. I like both of the mushroom types that they had their my wife only liked one of the two. My broth came out amazing. I added cilantro, green onion, and their hoisin sauce along with some lime. We also got Ramen noodle. It didn't seem like it was gonna be a lot of food. I felt like we were gonna be hungry by the time we got done eating everything. But it turned out in the end we were both full and not needing anymore. I would say this is a little bit more expensive than JPot. But I think this would be a nicer place to bring a date to overall experiences and presentation is better. I would say the service here was really good. We were well taken care of. I always say that you should make reservations if you're gonna come. We walked in when it didn't look like it was full or busy, but we still had to wait 30 minutes to be seated. At least there's a little bit to walk around and do around here so you have other shops and places to see if you have to wait. Overall, I would give this a five star review. But my honest opinion is I would rather eat at JPot. But I might only be saying that because I have my favorites over there and I didn't leave here creating a favorite in my mind. I left here thinking next time I come back. I'm gonna try different stuff. Again everything is good

Food wise though, I thought it was just okay. The Tonkotsu broth was pretty bland and lacked the richness/flavor I was expecting. The Taiwanese Signature broth was definitely better and had much more flavor, but overall I still wasn't blown away by the food. For the amount you're paying, I personally don't think the taste quite matches the price point. I'm glad I tried it and the overall experience was nice, but would I return? Most likely not. Worth trying at least once though!

I've been a few times, and I remember going for the first time about 9 years ago. I remember peering off of Herndon and what a cute red building that looks awfully busy and had a gravel parking lot. Back then it felt very hard to eat here, you had to get here early before the lot filled which obviously means the food is good. Today we were met with kind service and were immediately sat in the out door seating. Which we didn't mind because it was fresh. All the staff members were incredibly kind to me, and I really appreciated the nice compliments and overall vibe this establishment offers Breakfast menu is both American and Mexican inspired which is a plus for this bilingual gal, We stared off with a Mermaid Mimosa for the birthday boy and a Bloody Mary for me. Red Apple gets straight to business as I'd say their drinks are worth the price as they are poured well. I'm a Benedict girl, I went ahead and ordered the smoked salmon Benedict which came with some flavor potatoes. The bene was 10/10 I felt I could really taste a high quality salmon and the egg was perfectly poached. Birthday boy ate the Country fried steak at my recommendation. Pared with potatoes and pancakes. It's safe to say the plates were left cleared. Overall I've never been disappointed here and I'm happy to say my guest enjoyed it for their first time as well. There's a reason that parking lot stays busy
