I heard the other Waiters as they served the clients. They were very friendly, professional and served the customers with a smile. The location is on a busy street so as you dine and you look out the window you get to see all the people driving and walking by. It's great if you love to people watch. Some of the plates coming out looked AMAZING. We had the Crab Dip, House Salad, Crab Louis Salad and Clam Chowder. Everything was delicious and satisfying. We even took home a slice of Key Lime Pie. We'll be going back again.

Cute and casual restaurant displaying many lovely beach murals and specializing in seafood. DJ was our fantastic server today. He was Friendly & attentive. We ordered 2 buckets with crab & shrimp. Our order came out steamy & tasty very quickly. The buckets include a choice of crab, shrimp, mussels & clams. It includes corn, potatoes, sausage & your seafood choices. They have many seafood options besides the buckets. DJ was so accommodating throughout our meal. We dined early around 5pm, but if you go during peak hours, lunch or dinner you may have a wait. They do not take reservations. They are moderately priced and portions are good. For a fun beach y experience definitely drop in for a meal.

The wrap was tasty and very saucy, which I enjoyed, though for the price I was a bit surprised it didn't come with a side. The clam chowder was served piping hot and was really flavorful. The cashier was friendly and happy to offer suggestions, which we appreciated. Since it was such a nice day, we ate at the outdoor tables, but there were plenty of tables inside too. The interior has a casual, sandwich-joint vibe. Overall, a solid lunch stop with good food and friendly service.

I wish I had asked names, so that I could shout them out! One woman, light brown/blonde hair, seemed to be in training, and she was very helpful, the young man helping her, and who also helped my fiancé choose a lobster he has blonde hair, so very helpful!

After seeing so many Yelpers rave about Ada's, I had this place bookmarked for a while, so I was…read morereally happy we finally got to try it! We initially sat outside, but didn't realize the outdoor seating is mostly for guests with dogs. We asked if we could move inside, and honestly, I'm glad we did because the inside was much more comfortable for us. I ordered the seafood pasta, my husband had the clam chowder, and the kids went with fish and chips. Everything was really good, but that clam chowder was the standout for me! I would absolutely go back just for another bowl. The service was nice and friendly, and the location is super convenient just walking distance from the pier. They also have parking available, which is always a bonus in Pismo Beach. Definitely glad I finally checked this one off my bookmarked list!

We were placed on the back patio, which was beautiful, covered, heated, and thoughtfully decorated, making it a very comfortable and inviting space. We ordered the Cajun Seafood Boil, and it did not disappoint. It came with a generous amount of crab, shrimp, lobster, clams, and mussels. The seasoning was bold and flavorful without being overwhelming. The corn, potatoes, and sausage were perfectly portioned, complementing the seafood instead of taking the focus away from it. The rich, buttery garlic sauce tied everything together and was absolutely delicious. We also ordered the half-shell oysters, which were the perfect medium size. They were meaty and had the rich, briny flavor I enjoy. Our server, Angel, was outstanding. Our food came out quickly, she checked on us regularly, and she was attentive to everything we needed without any delay. Overall, we had a fantastic dining experience from start to finish. Great food, excellent service, and a wonderful atmosphere made this an easy place to recommend for the whole family.

He has focused on a few menu items and is making those items the best they can be every time. If you haven't had dogs made by a local butcher(from scratch all in house) I suggest you try him. I don't think he is making his dogs in house(but I could be wrong) but he is getting them from someone who does. I am a hotdog whore I've had them all. And it's been thirty plus years since I've had a dog that good. And not just once but every time it's just as good as the last one. Everything from the onions to the bread is top of the line and cooked to order(I can be sure of that). And last but not least the seal of a professional grill cook is French fries cooked in fry oil that is filtered daily and changed well before it begins to smoke. You can't shit me on this. I know when I get food cooked in oil that's beyond its prime and I have gotten it from every place that I've ever been to more than once until now. Take my advice and spend $11 and indulge in something so good I have no choice but to refer to it as "food porn".

Did some quick Yelp researching for places with clam chowder and fish and chips. This place had the…read morebetter reviews. On a quick day trip on a Friday afternoon, we decided to give this place a try. No reservation and were promptly greeted and seated. Although we did not have a full bay view, we had a partial bay view. Some hits and misses with food and service. 1. Bowl of Clam Chowder (no bread bowls available). Chowder was piping hot and had nice pieces of clams (dad got a bit of clam shell..so be careful), celery and potatoes. The chowder was very creamy and not grainy or watery like other locations. I would definitely order again 5/5 2. Fish & Chips: Fresh Pacific cod, lightly breaded, served with house-made tartar sauce. Fish was fried to perfection. 5/5 3. Seafood Pasta: Linguini with jumbo prawns, fresh catch, Cajun cream sauce, garlic bread. Everything tasted fresh and seasoned perfectly 5/5 4. Side of Garlic bread: extremely disappointing. We ordered garlic bread with our chowder, it never came. Waitress decided to serve it with the mains (fish and chips) and we ordered for the entire table and she only brought 2 pieces. 5. Insalata Molina: Mixed greens, arugula, pear, walnuts, crumbled blue cheese, mango vinaigrette. Couldn't tell you if this was any good bc the waitress NEVER brought but charged us for it. She then takes it off the bill and brings me the salad in a Styrofoam container. I told her I didn't want it and put it in my bag. Salad was so soggy (which means the kitchen prepared it and the waitress forgot to serve it) I would not order and do not recommend ordering it bc it was the size of a side salad definitely not worth the price point. 6. Mocktail Lavender lemonade: definitely not balanced, was pretty tart and again the price point was off. It was about 8oz lemonade for $12 They do offer a nice selection of wines. Restrooms are located outside the restaurant and are public restrooms, pretty dirty and out of stock. Although our service was a big miss, I do recommend the food items we ordered. I did take a star off due to the service.

The oysters were incredibly sweet and creamy, the octopus was perfectly tender without being chewy, and the Kurobuta pork chop was cooked to perfection, juicy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned.

Overall, we had a fantastic dining experience. Great food, excellent service, and unbeatable ocean views make this a place I'd definitely come back to.

Two hostess greeted us, one smiled while the blonde appeared like she was not having a good day. Quite unfortunate that an amazing restaurant like this has an employee greeting its customers and do not understand that they are the face and first impression of the business. She did not know how to speak cordially, no smile and just had a bad attitude. Michael and Haley more than made up for the hostess who almost caused us to cancel our reservation and celebrate elsewhere. The service was outstanding, consistent and welcoming. Ambience is phenomenal. We sat at the patio and enjoyed watching the sunset for an extended time. Tables were separated enough to provide enough privacy. We had the seafood tower, roasted beets, Mac n cheese, peanut butter tower and a couple of cocktails. They were all delicious and prepared and presented well. Definitely enjoyed the meal and experience. I hope that they train the blonde hostess to be a better representation of their establishment.
