    Medium Spicy Tenders side of Buffalo Sauce
    Lynn U.

    Family Fun Night kicked off with Puzzle Effect (SLO ESCAPE ROOM) we came for Nite Creamery next door.. but smelled the FRIED CHICKEN!! New! Still assembling chairs but this area has a lot of outdoor seating as well from the other neighboring businesses. This is a fun addition to The Creamery Marketplace it's like SLOPM little sister, both offer coffee, ice cream, Italian food and now SPICY or not if you choose FRIED CHICKEN!!!! Yesssss! Just really want to get a taste since we were just stopping by for ice cream. So my husband and I split a tenders order (comes with fries) we ordered them medium spice that's our middle ground, the fries has a great tasting spice on them but the fries themselves were rather limp and not too crisp. My husband said he'd prefer them less spicy as that heat met his max and I could have gone spicier. So medium can be quite hot for most. I thought the chicken was fresh and HELLA HOT my other half thought it was HELLA HOT and HELLA SPICCCCY!!! I'm not too sure about the parking situation the lot adjacent is limited spaces with 2hr free parking there is metered street parking or if you prefer there are paid parking lots and garages around the area check here on Yelp! The marketplace has a shared restroom code is offered at service. cash or credit Self serve Coca~Cola fountain drinks They also have a pink lemonade. There is a chart at the register explaining the levels of spice. For all other information, videos or events visit them on Facebook.

    Fried pickles (pretty good, but the coating slips off easily) 8/10

    This place is pretty good but if your getting the fries with cole slaw on them, I'd recommend eating it at the restaurant as soon as it comes out. I drove 5 minutes back home after my order came out & The coleslaw made my fries so cold within those few minutes It is a little pricey. I got the max n cheese with tenders & it wasn't as good as i expected it to be! The max n cheese is definitely bland on the flavor. Fried Oreos are always good! Also showed a selection of the sauces we've tried so far. Willing to come back and try it again! Except we'll eat there this time

    Mac bowl

    The best Nashville fried chicken I've ever had, and I've tried a ton! The best in slo for sure. Also the best Mac n cheese at a restaurant I've probably ever had... I usually get the 2 sliders and it's enough that I have a whole 1 leftover. Today I got the Mac bowl and it was 10/10, with soooo much leftover, so it's def worth the $.

    We stumbled upon this restaurant in this cute outdoor food court. The staff was so friendly and kind. We just ordered a side of fries and mac n cheese. They ended up giving us some chicken to try. Hubby and kids loved every bite! Highly recommend. They even offered to grill me some chicken to try since I can't do dairy (which was so nice) but I had ordered a salad from another place). Nice time I definitely would! They were so sweet! Run to this place!

    Tried out the new chicken sandwich place in SLO! It did not disappoint. The medium spice on their "The Sando" chicken sandwich was just right. The service was quick and easy! Also did the grubhub way so that we get a discount ;) The vibe was also pretty chill and loved how the location was also near a lot of other cool food places!

    Really good chicken sandwich and other options too. Spicy good chicken and I love me sone fried pickles. Nice spot to eat and have desert next door ... ice cream

    Is there a way to give this place 100 stars ???!!! I took my son for a staycation in our state! We are from the Bay Area but came down for the weekend and decided to do our own tour of food spots in SLO. He found this spot via Yelp and we said why not? We arrived and the girl that assisted us was so sweet and helpful we ordered the chicken meal with fries and deep fried Oreos. Can we talk about the chicken bites and fries dipped in their signature sauce and the honey mustard top tier I am still dreaming about it. Then the fried Oreos. They tasted like doughnuts with Oreo filling drizzled with chocolate sauce and powdered sugar! We ordered only two and instantly went back to order more. If your in SLO this is a must stop place, the only thing that was negative is the fact that they don't have a location in the Bay Area Hella Hot the Bay Area created the word hella it's only right to bring one out here Amazing food and amazing service we are already planning our next trip out there and first stop will be here

    I'm in San Luis Obispo for work, and since it was my wife's birthday, she wanted to try Finney's…read moreCrafthouse. Birthday girl gets to pick, so off we went. The place was absolutely packed! I don't know if it was because of the soccer game or if it's always this busy, but that's usually a good sign. Even with the crowd, our party of six was seated almost immediately. The menu was excellent--not one of those places with ten pages of random items. It was well thought out and made it easy to choose. My wife and I both ordered the jalapeño burger (I can't remember the official name) with a side of tater tots. My son ordered the tuna, my daughter had the chicken tenders, and my nephew and niece both went with the barbecue burger. The food came out surprisingly fast, and then it was time to eat. Wow. This was easily one of the best burgers I've ever had. My wife would not stop talking about hers. Her exact words were, "This burger tastes beefy." I'm still not exactly sure what that means, but judging by how fast she finished it, I'd say she absolutely loved it. To top it all off, our amazing waitress surprised my wife with a complimentary cookie sundae for her birthday. I really wish I had caught her name. She had curly hair and glasses, and she was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. I was not impressed with their margarita flight but who cares, it was about the food. If you're looking for an incredible burger, great service, and a fun atmosphere in San Luis Obispo, Finney's Crafthouse is definitely worth the visit. We'll absolutely be back the next time we're in town.

He could've asked people seated at the bar (with their menus closed) if he could take it to give it to us. Nonetheless, I waited and ordered a watermelon smash (something like that). Before even getting the drink, I got the check and closed out since I was waiting for a table. After waiting a couple of minutes, I finally got a table so I decided to close out while my drink was still getting prepared. When it came out, I took it to my table but it was not good. I told the waitress that it wasn't good and ordered a different drink and she delivered it but didn't tell me that I was going to get charged for it (and that was after I had asked if I was getting charged for it). After I told the waitress, she said she had to talk to her manager and luckily they took it off the bill. In terms of the food, it was okay. The lights were really dim so I felt as if I was eating in the dark.

On one visit, we were left unattended for most of our stay and were only able to order appetizers before she disappeared. When she returned, she assumed we were done ordering instead of asking if we wanted anything else. As a business manager I hope the service improves because the food and vibe are definitely worth it.

I opted to do a trio with the bahn mi, tip o' Argentina, and the garlic fries. The food was good I forgot to take a picture! The tip o' Argentina was solid with the garlic aioli and the chimmichurri perfectly complimenting the steak and the lettuce and tomato adding a little bit of freshness. The buns they use for all of their sliders are soft, slightly sweet, and don't fall apart while you're eating. The Bahn Mi was even better. I love pork but was a little skeptical about pulled pork on a slider riffing on the flavors of a bahn mi. To my surprise and delight, it tasted just like grilled Vietnamese pork, which was perfectly complimented by the fresh and pickled veggies and surprisingly hot jalapeño. Finally, I got the garlic fries which were a massive portion, crisp, and very garlicky.

    Soooo...Brooks Burgers in Pismo Beach is apparently now their only venue (the location on Tank Farm…read moreroad in SLO changed a while back to "Petras"). We were sorry to see that location close down and extend our sympathies to Dallas (Owner) at having to close that location down (good help is so hard to find). Regardless, it won't keep us away from Brooks...cause the food is still "bangin". Yesterday's order was to go...we always ate "in" at the SLO location (just a "nicer ambiance") but always "take out" from Pismo (not thrilled with the fact that there is an added "take out fee" for this on your bill). Jaxon was our Order/Cashier associate on this occasion. He was personable in service and knowledgeable with regard to menu offerings. The restaurant wasn't as busy as I expected at 7PM but it took "a bit" to get the order out. Nevertheless..it was "on the money accurate" (exactly what we ordered/wanted) and that in my opinion...is worth waiting for. Our order : 2X Black and Blue Salads (4/5...yummy) and a Crispy Chicken Combo with Tater Tots (5/5...delicious). I had a "Combo Coupon" ($10 Combo instead of regular price), but still the bill was basically $43 dollars. Somewhat of a "value factor" because with a salad each, we were able to share the Crispy Chicken and were completely satisfied with our meal. Dallas (Owner) was already gone for the day, so we missed saying "hi". In this Yelper's opinion...on this "take-out" occasion because the food is still really "bussin", Brooks Burgers in Pismo Beach truly earned this 4 Star review.
