    Very nice cashier who greets you and takes your order. You're given a number and you get your own utensils. The food is brought to your table. We ordered the clam chowder and shared the roast beef sandwich. It was a good thing we split it - it's huge! Lots of meat! We also had the clam strips. The clam chowder was great. The view is nice and you can sit inside or outside. Good locals place.

    Corned Beef Dip

    Decent corned beef on the water. Ordered a cup of clam chowder, as well as the corned beef sandwich/dip, which I split with my dad. Clam chowder was a classic style, not too chunky. Corned beef sandwich was good, but preferred it not dipped. For Diet Coke fans, their soda machine was super carbonated, so it was good. Overall, good food, efficient ordering, and nice spot on the week.

    Got the roast beef sandwich and German potato salad. Was disappointed that the meat was not rare and a bit overcooked. The flavor was good though. Take a look at the photo and compare to other photos where the meat is nice a rare. I have had better here previous and same for the potato salad it. So I had had better of both items here in the past. I still love the fast service and sitting outside with a view.

    We ate here while exploring Morro Bay. You walk in and review an overhead menu and place the order with the cashier. There seemed to be some good food options here as well as beer selection. We ordered and grabbed a table outside with a nice view to Morro Rock. We ordered a Rueben sandwich, a chicken sandwich, a chicken sandwich with avocado, bacon and cheese (ABC) and fish n chips. The Rueben and ABC chicken sandwich were great! I was impressed with the gourmet lettuce and the brioche bun. The other two items, regular chicken sandwich and the fish n chips were OK. Since this isn't a full service restaurant, the service is tough to grade the but the employees were pleasant. 3.5 stars!

    Same standard fare with the usual suspects. Roast beef sandwich was average but au jus lacked seasoning and rather bland. Bread was fresh and soft. Views of the bay.

    So bomb pastrami sandwich!
    Samuel O.

    Went back again! And it was even better! Got the hot pastrami on the roll this time instead of the rye. Wow what a difference. Way less soggy and easyer to eat! And i love the frys! Service with a smile, and seating right on the bay. Perfect location for pastrami goodness.

    Location, location, location. This is prime real estate with an epic view. Located on Morrowbay touching the water. In the background you have a nature reserve and Morrow Bay Rock. The seafood is good here, as good as Seattle's, just like Seattle and Portland most of the food is breaded and fried. This isn't the nicest restaurant but it's good for all ages, you can eat here if you're bundled in winter gear or beach attire, weather permitting. The beer selection is small but good. The staff and service is fast and efficient. You only speak to them when you order food at the counter and grab your food. The rest is self service.

    really good French dip sandwich sandwiches. It's our go to place for whenever we head to Morro Bay - I love their German potato salad which is warm and yummy and my husband is a big fan of the French dip which I am as well. Downside is they charge you $.50 for water per cup and went there two days in a row on the second day the meat was kind of chewy but I think that's an anomaly because it's typically really good. Add points for being dog friendly so I make it four stars

    Hofbrau Morro Bay came highly recommended by a friend a few years ago when I mentioned we were planning a weekend trip to the area--and I'm so glad we took the advice. When my boyfriend and I first walked in, he was a bit skeptical since it's a walk-up counter service spot, which isn't usually his thing. But the moment our food arrived, all of that went out the window. The food was absolutely phenomenal. The roast beef sandwich was loaded with thick, juicy slices of perfectly cooked roast beef, and the bread was just the right mix of crisp and chewy--the perfect vessel for such a great sandwich. The fries were double-fried, giving them that ideal crispy exterior and soft, fluffy inside. The staff was friendly, fast, and efficient, and the view from the deck overlooking the water made the whole experience even better. It might look like a simple sandwich shop from the outside, but the quality and flavors make it something truly special. We now make the 2.5-hour drive regularly just to eat here--it's that good. If you're in Morro Bay or even just passing through, do yourself a favor and stop at Hofbrau. It's hands down one of the best sandwich shops in California.

    French dip yum

    Dog friendly restaurant; plus French dip is pretty good here. I tried the roast beef and the special with pastrami. Service is great. What's more, the view outside is amazing, especially sun set hours.

    Hot and Spicy French Dip
    Lianna M.

    Amazing spot in Morro Bay! Service is quick and easy. You start by ordering at the front, then they bring your food to you. We ordered the hot and spicy french dip, fried cod sandwich, and a clam chowder bread bowl (not pictured). The french dip's beef was nice and tender. The jalapenos and pepperjack cheese were nice additions to give the sandwich some kick. The fried cod on the fish sandwich was super fresh and fried to perfection. I think if I came back I would get the cod on its own. Loved the extra crispy fries! The bread bowl was also amazing. Generous portion of soup and the bread was nice and warm. We got to sit by the window where we got a nice view of the Morro Bay rock. Great casual spot with nice employees!

    Kids meal fish piece, very fresh.

They may a water dispenser that runs out quickly and they are very busy to refill it. They do sell bottled water or other beverages there as well. Would reccomend a jacket as well as it does get windy right by the ocean.

Our order taker was friendly and the guy calling out the pick up orders was very nice and very generous offering things like malted vinegar, hot sauce, and other condiments. We ate on the patio which is dog friendly and has a lot of seating.

Oysters on the 1/2 Shell: The oysters were fresh but rather small, nothing special on their own. However, the cocktail sauce was a perfect balance of sour, sweet, and spicy, so I kept dipping the chips in it...

Live music compliments from a man with his guitar on a sunny sunsetting Friday afternoon and since they are dockside, you get to see the fishermen at work close by and it really provides the environment of a seaside town without it being overpriced and pretentious. We originally ordered a set of 4 grilled oysters, clam chowder, and as recommended by the cashier, a couple of the smoked shrimp tacos. The oysters were grilled to perfection with butter and garlic. Not dry at all and still juicy. The oysters were well shucked (no pieces of the shell ended up on the oyster) and it was already detached for easy eating. The smoked shrimp tacos were a great recommendation. I think the seasoning wasn't too complicated; salt, pepper, and a paprika to really let the shrimp do most of the talking. As for the clam chowder, I think it was okay. Came there only for the oysters anyways. As mentioned, we initially got a set of 4 grilled oysters but they were so good that we ended up coming back 30 minutes later to get 6 more after getting our last few pictures of the sunset next to Morro Rock. As for service, this is a take-out only joint, so besides the cashier taking your order, the bussers making sure the outside tables are clean to keep the seabirds away, and you picking up your own order, there is nothing more than that. Will be dreaming about those grilled oysters until we come back.

Steak knife included with utensils, which came in handy because the burger was really slippery and I had to eat with a knife and fork!! Potatoes looked overcooked but that was because they are purple potatoes!! They tasted ok, luckily not too spicy like everything is these days. I liked the non-purple potato's texture better.
