The service is great. Ryan was helpful in choosing what to order and explaining the cocktails. The TV screens were plentiful and easy to see. The pasta with shrimp and scallops is delicious. My only complaint is the lobster roll. The bun is heavy in butter and spices which takes away from the taste of the lobster. I'm from Maine so I maybe biased read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE...Fantastic food, fantastic service. The workers here look like they love their job, and honestly, if I worked here, I would be smiling because of the good vibes that they bring. This place changed my entire view of life in general. I love everybody in there. Peace read more

If we want to find a good seafood place in Morro Bay, then I recommend kickers. It's like you have to savor every bite you take. the seafood is steamed perfect. The sauce and crab cakes were amazing, the steamers (with the broth!!!!) is something you would want to taste and experience for yourself. the servers here do a very good job and our server was Cathy who was AMAZING. We stopped here on our way to Morro Bay every time and have a meal here. It's never a disappointment. If you come here a little bit before the dinner hour you can always sit and watch the rock on the bay. It's a nice ambience and don't forget you can bring your dog. read more

OK I get it. it's a beach town. you need to be seafood restaurant but when it's mostly fried, it's fast food. But let's talk about our server Layton. he does not possess the heart of a waiter. We sat for i too long waiting for him. Appetizers came out staggered and what was suppose to be a 'JUMBO' shrimp cocktail was their mexican cocktail and when i called him on it the took it back. then someone in the kitchen, probably because they were out of jumbo shrimp told Layton to tell us those sorry bay shrimp were jumbo so Layton doubled down on that. it was more like a Cerveche. our entrees were 'meh' at best. It was not a great experience which we won't be returning and never recommending Kickers to anyone who'll listen. We didn't stiff him though i wanted to gave him a 15% Avoid this place. read more

Came here with the hubby and our server was Kathy , who was absolutely wonderful from the very beginning!! She was super friendly with a beautiful smile and her attentiveness was exceptional! We ordered Chelsey Oysters which were heaven! The Marisco Seafood Pasta , so yummy !!! And the Mexican Seafood Cocktail was also delicious!! A true gem in Morro Bay !! read more

The bouillabaisse was ok. Got it since the waiter recommended. It was my first time having it so I dont know what to expect and it definitely wasnt enough for me. I was hungry not too long after. Probably my fault not looking up what the dish was. read more

What a great surprise! We almost skipped this place because Apple Maps said it was closed on Wednesdays and the phone went straight to voicemail--but they're definitely open, and we're so glad we stopped in. The crab cakes were packed with crab and paired perfectly with a tangy fennel and arugula salad. The fresh Morro Bay oysters were absolutely delicious. The clam chowder was rich and creamy with plenty of clam chunks and a nice kick of spice, though it was a bit peppery for my personal taste. They also offer fresh-squeezed juice mocktails, and while we didn't try the cocktails, they're made with soju. The views are beautiful, the reggae music creates a relaxing vibe, and our waiter, Charles (I think!), was incredibly sweet and attentive. One thing to know: there's essentially no Wi-Fi or cell service, so texts and web pages are slow or may not go through. Honestly, that's part of the charm. Put your phone down, soak in the view, enjoy the fresh seafood, the music, and the laid-back atmosphere. We'll definitely be back! read more

We had dinner here and waited about 15mins for a table, which wasn't too bad without a reservation. Ambiance: 5/5 Beautiful view of the Morro rock! Have high tops tables and booths throughout the restaurant. Restaurant was loud during dinner with lots of families around. Service: 3/5 Our waitress wasn't consistent with her service. Took us a long time to order and ask for our check. She also brought out different dipping sauces but we didn't order anything that needed them lol. Food: 5/5 Smashed crab and beef melt: GENEROUS serving of crab meat! It took my fiancé a while to finish it due to its big portion, and he's a big eater. He described it to be delicious and not that greasy to eat. Marisco (seafood) pasta: Had mussels, clams, BIG scallops, and shrimps. This too was really delicious, but 3 pieces of garlic bread were a bit soggy. read more

We had such a great experience at this place. Food was 5/5. Absolutely everything we got - delicious. We tried seafood cocktail - I'd say my fav. Oysters were fresh and yummy. And burger really good too. Our server Lauren was great help. Everything she recommended turned out the best choice. They made sure to follow our request and turned the music volume down at the area we sited, I truly appreciated it. Highly recommend this place. You can book it on Open Table btw. read more

Food not prepared right. Had lobster roll s way overcooked and tough with fried cabbage on it . They served two rolls but one good one would have been preferred. the crab cakes average forgot the rice with entree this place needs a chef and a manager who cares. Best to go elsewhere more of a sports bar trying to be a restaurant. Galley next door better read more

This place has really excellent food. I had the lobster roll and was impressed -- generous, well-dressed, and served on a buttered, griddled roll that made a real difference. The oysters were solid too: fresh and clean-tasting, though not especially memorable. But the real hit at our table was the lobster bisque. I tried a taste and it was creamy, rich, and packed with strong lobster flavor -- easily the best thing we ordered. Since I'm a macaroni and cheese fanatic, I had to try it, and that's where things fell a little short. It was basic pasta in what seemed like a basic cheese sauce -- no crust on top, no sharpness or complexity to the cheese. They called it homemade, but I'm not sure that was really the case. The service was excellent throughout, and the prices were a little high, maybe reasonable considering this is Morro Bay, where waterfront dining usually comes with a markup. I'd come back for the lobster roll and the bisque. read more

Sat our party of 4 very fast. Ordered 2 Rock N Roll fish tacos. Nice portion but one was very spicy. Server corrected with a plain fried fish. My gorgeous wife had the "wedge" salad. It was not a traditional wedge salad as it was served in an iceberg lettuce bowl. No blue cheese crumbles as advertised. My lobster roll was EXCELLENT! read more

What a great experience. We went on a Saturday. It was busy but the wait wasn't too bad. They sat us at a table, I asked for a booth. They quickly agreed. Service was great. We had the loveliest waitress, that easily gave recs and was cheerful. We had scallops, oysters and the lobster roll. All of it was delicious. The scallops were baked with fried garlic and cheese and were so flavorful as were the oysters. The lobster roll came on grilled garlic bread and was seasoned perfectly. The scallops were my favorite. The Bloody Mary wasn't remarkable and either was the lychee martini. I'd definitely stick to wine next time. I'd also pick another dessert, wasn't really sure that was actually Tiramisu and they decorated the plate with Hershey's syrup a bit disappointing after such a good meal but we will definitely go back. read more

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. read more

Kicker's - Fish tacos. Real good. - Seafood Near Me - Morro Bay, California

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). 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. read more

We were playing tourists around Morro Bay/Morro Rock and got hungry, so we Yelped "fresh seafood in Morro Bay." This place came highly recommended, and as usual, Yelp reviews were spot on. The seafood was impressively fresh, with bright Mexican flavors . The oysters were clean and briny, served with an impressive array of salsas. The baked oysters (Rockefeller-style) were rich and garlicky, topped with a nicely browned cheesy crust and bits of bacon. An old-school preparation that really hit the spot. The seafood cocktail was loaded with shrimp in a refreshing, well-balanced tomato-cocktail sauce with a salsa-like texture. Service was excellent. Friendly, attentive, and quick without feeling rushed. Grab a seat in the back and you'll be rewarded with beautiful views of Morro Bay and Morro Rock. Happy Eating!! 31 read more

We came in because of the Yelp reviews, but apparently I don't see what the other reviewers do. The crab-stuffed petrale sole was stuffed with canned crab, and the "wild rice pilaf" was just regular white rice with some carrots. The lobster roll was good but had the least lobster meat I've ever seen on a lobster roll. I'm only giving it two stars because the chowder was good, but we won't be back. read more

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. read more

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... read more

Food was good but not a lot of food. The service good. I liked the place but didn't love it.

The server was so friendly and informative. They did not have a liquor license but can serve lesser proof alcohols. It's a cute restaurant by the water. 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. read more

First off Cathie was a lovely and attentive server. I had the local Morro Bay oysters, lobster roll, side of Mac & cheese, and the spicy mango mocktail. The oysters were lovely and came with a good selection of toppings and plenty of lime. I was expecting one lobster roll but it actually came with two so budget your stomach space accordingly. Both came with a good heaping of lobster and were very tasty. The Mac and cheese was fairly basic but very cheesy and creamy. I'm very glad I got the spicy mango mocktail with my order as the flavor and brightness went along nicely with everything else. It wasn't particularly spicy but has a nice subtle kick. The view of the bay and the iconic rock made the experience all the better. read more

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. The view itself was incredible, it does not make up for the lack of service and flavor. read more

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 read more

Can't rate the food, as we just stopped in for ice cream for the kids and some bubbly for the adults. But Charles served us and was the most attentive and sweetest dude, so make sure you ask for him! He was so patient with us having two little ones. I was looking at the food that was coming out to other tables, and it does look delicious; more laid back as well from the other restaurants that have a water view, so definitely I'd say it's good for families with younger ones. read more

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. The restaurant was very clean and I loved the reggae music. read more

Well we finales nailed it in Morrow Bay for dinner. We go her ever year when we are in town for the mid state fair. First time at Kickers and won't be the last. Everything we had was great. Lobster rolls, clam chowder, lobster bisque and one of the best Bloody Mary's we ever had. Highly recommend this place. Great views if you can get a booth. Not sure if they have outside seating. We will be back next year for sure! read more

Just had dinner with family, the server and his service were outstanding! My cousin had ordered some type of seafood soup that was placed on a paper doily when served. While the server was placing the boiling hot soup on the table, it slid off the plate and into my lap. Mind you, I'm in gym shorts. The pain was unbearable. I couldn't over react, my daughter and nieces were just to the right of me. Luckily they were not affected by the spill. The server was very apologetic and did what he could. Unfortunately the manager never stopped by. Not one to typically complain, but felt it's necessary. The manager basically f*cked us off. The only thing he authorized was to comp the soup and a few drinks the soup ended up in. I ended up going to urgent care for burns on my inner thighs and junk. The way they conduct business is extremely unprofessional! I'm close to hiring an attorney and taking it to the next level. Hats off to the server doing what he can with what he could, but horrible business place. Do not recommend at all. I can't imagine if that spill was on my daughter or nieces! read more

My husband and I took a weekend trip away and decided to stop somewhere for a drink and an appetizer. It was past lunch time but too early for dinner, so we decided to stop at Kickers which was right across from our hotel. At first, we weren't sure what it was going to be like. It was about 2pm on a Friday and the place was empty. We stood at the front to wait to be seated for a couple of minutes before the staff said they would be right with us. Turns out, it was only the one waiter working and he already had a couple of tables, we just didn't see them from the front door. He told us to seat ourselves and we got a nice spot looking over the harbor. He was very friendly and attentive. We got the garlic fries to share and my husband got the clam chowder while I got the lobster bisque. Hands down, the best clam chowder we have had in a very long time! There was a nice bacon flavor that only added to the greatness. Nice chunks of clam, and a perfect consistency. We didn't even add salt or pepper to it. There was no need. And the little slices of garlic bread that were served with it made for a great dipping pair. I don't have any experience with lobster bisque, but I can say that I enjoyed this one. It had a lobster flavor and a little sweet but very good. The fries definitely lived up to their garlic title and a great texture as well. They seemed to be kind of breaded. Very yummy place and worth checking out for sure! read more

Came during the week awhile back and it wasn't crowded and the reviews brought me in. The decor is cool and the waiter was friendly. Remembered him from working at Hoagies in Pismo for years. The view of the rock and water is inviting and made for a cool dinner. The clam chowder was probably my favorite, very flavorful and the toasted bread was a hit. The lobster roll had a good amount of meat and was also very good. The calamari steak Reuben I was most excited about but was the most disappointed with this dish. The flavor I was expecting wasn't represented well, it was bland and the calamari steak was too thick. Ingredients were fresh and overall I enjoyed the meal and look forward to coming back here for more chowder and to try something else on the menu. read more

Expensive and the portions are small. Definitely in the high end, but it is right on the waterfront. You have a nice and beautiful view.

We wanted a nice breakfast before heading out of town and stumbled upon Kickers -- the cute coastal sign caught our eye right away. Inside, everything looked fresh, modern, and welcoming. It wasn't too busy yet, so we grabbed a window table with a perfect view of the bay -- calm water, sea breeze, and that peaceful Morro Bay morning glow. The menu had something for everyone: frittatas, eggs benedict, pancakes, breakfast tacos, and even shrimp chilaquiles that looked amazing as they came out of the kitchen. The Bloody Marys looked beautiful (I'll save that for next time!), and the coffee was rich, hot, and perfectly brewed -- just what we needed to start the day. Our waitress was so friendly and attentive, and every single one of us loved our breakfast. The food came out quickly, everything was flavorful and fresh, and the whole experience just had that vacation breakfast done right feeling. We all agreed -- great first impression! Kickers will definitely be a must-stop spot next time we're in Morro Bay. read more
