    Fish tacos. Real good.
    Brad G.

    Hey first time here. Great vibe and view. Ryan was slinging drinks and excellent plates of food. Fish tacos, and shrimp cocktail are excellent. I did see some lobster rolls come out for another table and they looked. Outstanding. Will be back soon.

    The lobster bisque was absolutely delicious, but the wait was disappointing. We were seated and no one came over to our table for about 25 minutes. We eventually had to flag down a server just to place our order, and then waited another 35 minutes--even though we only ordered soup. Hopefully the service improves because the food was really good.

    Shrimp and scallops
    Rhyaan B.

    Food was decent needed more salt... We had the lobster Mac, steak with potatoes, shrimp and scallop pasta no sauce, and the sliders with fries. The server was Troy who was nice but seemed a little off today. We requested potatoes with the steak three times and still received rice but he fixed it. Then we spilled fries on the floor and were charged for the replacement. The food portions were good but the prices seemed outlandish for the sizes (I will post pics) and made me kinda think we were paying for the ocean view and the food. But that's inflation for you (thank you politics). [[HIGHLIGHT]]I would not rush back to the environment, as the energy was low (one employee I get but, all 4? Come on), and gave the vibe that the staff were so over people but needed the money so yeah, at least we can say we tried it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Tri tip sandwich
    Amelia R.

    The service was unfortunate. We never got our table checked on let alone had some water refilled. We ordered the tri-tip sandwich and the lobster bisque. The sandwich was very small. And the lobster bisque had no lobster. It was a very odd experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The view itself was incredible, it does not make up for the lack of service and flavor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Dog friendly restaurant right on Morro Bay.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Delicious oysters & lobster bisque. Mojito was different with the soju.

    Oyster shooters

    My boyfriend and I were in town visiting and decided to stop by Kicker's! We saw the reviews and the window views were phenomenal online... and the reviews did not disappoint. The food was excellent, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the vibes immaculate[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], and the service top notch! Ryan was our server and he was incredible. He was full of life, great stories, and timely, thoughtful service. You'll have nothing short of an excellent time with him guiding the way. Thank you Kicker's and Ryan for being the best!

    The server was so friendly and informative. They did not have a liquor license but can serve lesser proof alcohols. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a cute restaurant by the water.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had the salmon tacos and a piña colada. They did not disappoint. I enjoyed my food and drink. If I'm in the area I would return.

    Smashed Crab and Beef Melt
    Jackson C.

    I got the Smashed crab and beef melt, and I bet it was one of the best things on the menu. Their fries were also very good and their ranch was fabulous. My mom got the rock n roll tacos and she said they were good, but a little lacking in the fish. The service was excellent and the food didn't take long to come out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was very clean and I loved the reggae music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Steamed clams in brothy goodness
    Susana C.

    This is our usual dining spot whenever we take the trip out here, and this time around it was unpleasant. Our server was a blonde older lady who don't introduce herself by name, was quick to bro gout our waters, but when she toon our drink order, she only brought out my husband's beer. When I asked a few questions regarding items on the menu, her answers came across as though she was mildly annoyed. We waited until our food was brought out and I had to ask for a spoon that accompanied the dish I ordered and we reminded her of the soda my son had requested. Also when I unraveled the napkin wrapped silverware, the napkin had stains on it. Super gross!! I think we'll be giving this place a rest for a while. What a shame...

    Italian shrimp and scallops
    Jan C.

    We tried Kickers because they are one of the few restaurants on the Embarcadero that serves Mac and cheese for kids. Our grandson loved it. I got the pasta and shrimp and scallops. It had a spicy tasty pasta sauce. Good service and a restroom near the entrance. View of the bay ambiance

    Taylor U.

    Was excited to try this out as the reviews were pretty solid and I was excited about the oyster bar. I even made a reservation since it was for a Friday evening. Upon arriving we were greeted and sat rather quickly but didn't have anyone check on us for a solid 7 minutes. Once our server arrived we were ready to place our orders and were told "sorry we're out of the avocado ranch" along with "sorry we're out of the large beer glasses".....what..... Food was not that great, we ordered a clam chowder bowl, michelada oyster shooter, half a dozen oysters, fish and chips, and a shrimp salad. Soup tasted like bacon soup....Miche shooter was not very tasty and my oyster was warm... Would not recommend

    Entrance
    Reyna M.

    Stop by this area to check out Morro bay. So we opted for this restaurant for brunch. First impression, no one was at the entrance waiting to greet (mind you they just had opened) we stood there for a few minutes waiting for the host. The gentleman that came out didn't welcome us or anything he just looked at us and I told him a table for 4. Took us to the back of the restaurant and seated us. The waitress was really nice. The food was ok. Unfortunately they did not have breakfast options even though the little flyer that I took from the entrance had breakfast on the menu. The waitress said that has taken out all the breakfast off the menu. I order the shrimp tacos the tortillas were old you can tell they were heated and then stored, and then reheated again. My husband ordered the smashed crab cake and beef melt with the choice of marble rye bread, which unfortunately, the waitress came back and stated that they were no marble rye so he swapped for sourdough. That melt was good. The kids tender and fries were good the kids enjoyed that. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The location was good and the decor looked nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    A seafood shop by the Morro Bay seaside…read more Fish & Chips 5-piece: Unlike British fish and chips, the batter is only a thin layer, and it's not fried as hot, so you can really taste the tender fish - very satisfying. 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... Eating fish and chips while enjoying the sea view and listening to a blues band playing - if you're not in a rush, it's truly a delightful experience.

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.

    Had such a great experience at House Of JuJu, in Morro Bay California. The food was super yummy and…read morethe service was great our food came out fast, which I always appreciate. I ordered the Calamity Jane burger, and wow, it was absolutely delicious and HUGE. You will honestly get full after eating just half of it. I also got a side of their potatoes with the spicy garlic sauce for dipping, and it was so good. Definitely a must-order! They also had a great selection of sangrias, which was a nice bonus. The only thing I'd mention is that it can be a little pricey if you're dining solo, so if you're going on a date, be ready for your pockets to take a little dent. Next time I come back, I definitely want to try the shrimp tacos because they sounded amazing. I was torn between those and the burger, but I went with my default order. Overall, delicious food, fast service, and a great spot in Morro Bay. I would definitely come back!

Ordered cheeseburger with potatoes. Salad was "mixed greens" so I didn't order a salad. Next time I will get their wedge salad, but I didn't know if I could finish it with the burger and potatoes this time. Server said no fries or chicken strips becasue they don't have a fryer. Free refills for sodas, but only a little bit of ice. It was a bit syrupy and had a lack of carbonation, might have been Pepsi instead of Coke. 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. Slow to refill my drink. I will come here again and have the wedge salad, from the pic it looks smaller than I expected this time around so it will be able to be eaten with a burger!!
