    Smoked brisket nachos - I'm dreaming of you. More bbq on the weekends, ya'll. They do run out. It's serious. Get there!
    Kellie C.

    Oh wow, what a find! Not far off the 101, this authentic and historic roadhouse was a delightful spot for lunch and beer. We shared the smoked brisket nachos and a couple of cold drafts. The nachos were crisp with a generous portion of delicious smoked brisket. They had a cheese sauce that would make a French saucier proud, super fresh guacamole and a scattering of black beans. Crisp and perfectly covered to the last bite of this stack of heaven. Our compliments to the kitchen! Our server was so welcoming and took great care of us. The outside patio is huge and hosts bands March - December. Longbranch in Historic Creston, we'll be back to try more of your menu items and enjoy your patio on a warmer day.

    When we first arrived, it seemed to be a tiny hole in the wall restaurant. Then once we got in there and found a large and nice outdoor seating area, very relaxing and comfortable. The food and beer are delicious. It's a nice stop on the way to the Carrizo national preserve.

    Short rib, burger special recommended by Kristy.  Totally amazing and out of this world.
    Central Coast Critics C.

    My buddy and I decided we wanted a good burger, so he suggested this place and it was out of this world. Came in here for lunch yesterday and we're welcomed right off the bat from a nice lady named Kristy. Very pleasant, served us two beers that she recommended and they were very tasty. She even recommended the lunch special, best burger I've had in a while. It was a beef patty with short ribs. Very fresh and cooked to perfection. Atmosphere was very nostalgic. Then we met Megan, another server. She's the one that brought us our food. She gave us some amazing sauce to go with our burger, had a little kick to it, which I really enjoyed. Most of all, the staff was amazing. They definitely have my business. Wish I lived closer, I would definitely eat her every day and enjoy a nice cold beer in that 85° weather, lol. Thank you staff for making my visit. Amazing!

    Super busy when I got here so I had to wait a bit for my food but nonetheless the food was fantastic! Had some chips and salsa to starts and the salsa was amazing! For my entree I had the short rib burger which was very tasty! My server was Kristy and she was very friendly and helpful when recommending items from the menu. I will definitely return when I come visit the area again. They also have a house cat that hangs out outside and he joined me for my dinner. His name is Obie.

    This place has suchhhh great food. EXCEPT for the pretzel I would just skip it tastes like you microwaved a frozen pretzel. Other than that really good food options. This is a great place to hangout and vibe and have some drinks. I love how it feels western and small town. All we needed was some live music! Overall a really cool spot and I recommend trying it out if you are nearby!

    Full bar, including signature cocktails

    Creston is a small country town that is a perfect spot for locals, and a great pit stop for folks out wine tasting. Don't let the saloon part of the name fool ya, because this is a fully operational restaurant. Plenty of seating for couples or large groups with the option of indoor or outdoor, the Longbranch offers a menu of items for any taste. Salads, burgers, sandwiches, and bites are sure to be on someone's craving list. I ordered the Short Rib Burger and had not had a burger like this in a long time. I requested it be cooked medium, and did not expect the juicy, flavor-bomb I got with my first bite. Lettuce, Tomato, and dill chips accompany it, with french fries. Little sides of burger sauce and ketchup are provided as well. Be sure to enter through the front to have the host/ess seat you. They'll take good care of you. I look forward to revisiting and trying more of their offerings.

    Liquor Menu

    Located in the small town of Creston, near the General Store and Loading Chute, is Longbranch Saloon. When we arrived, we saw a sign that pointed us to the entrance outside, off to the left. You're lead to a Beer Garden, with a lot of seating, heaters, tents and even a stage for events. They sat us near a heater, since we had our daughter and it was cold out. The liquor menu is one of the largest I've ever seen. I ordered the Almost Fried Pickles. Those were awesome. The breading was evenly coated, salty, crunchy, with briny pickle in the middle. It was served with a house ranch that had some tang and creamy pepper, great mixed. Next, Creston Burger, subbed chicken breast for burger, added fried egg and avocado. The dynamics for the fresh, fluffy brioche bun, salty, crunchy onion strings, very juicy, white meat chicken breast, Jack cheese adding fat, fresh tomato, lettuce, and pickles. Then add the fried egg and avocado for creamy fat and homemade sauce and bbq sauce adding zing and creaminess making for one complete burger. The fries served with it were perfectly done. Salty, warm, crunchy, yet soft in the middle. Perfect. To end it all, Crème Brûlée Cheesecake! This cheese cake was truly one of the best I've had. Warm, yes, warm. The top, signature, crème brûlée candied top. The cheese cake was creamy, great depth of vanilla/crème brûlée cheesecake flavor. Shockingly Great! We have to bring my parents. *Wish I could make it 4.5/5, reason 4/5.*

    Ask the Community - Longbranch Saloon

    Are dogs allowed in the outside dining area?

    Absolutely. We've taken our Aussie there, and have seen many other dogs there!

    Is there parking that will accommodate an RV?

    The actual restaurant lot is small - however across the street is a much larger area. Since this location is "rural" you will have options to park your bigger vehicle.

    I would like to try this place, but I am wondering if I can find something on the menu which will comply with my food allergies. Is the chef friendly and open to special requests or modifications of any menu items?

    They are very friendly at Fast Cat Coffee Bar! They would appreciate you asking!

    What is their phone number?

We had a great new waiter who was a young g male with dark hair, tall thin and had the popular "Lama" young men's hair style. He was very accommodating as I laid out my requests. Based on past errors from the female waiters I knew what I needed to specifically ask for. As usual they were understaffed. I feel so bad for the staff here. Management shorts staffing to boost profits. It makes dining here stressful and definitely not a relaxed dining experience. Staff other best but they almost literally have to run to keep up with demand Usually there's no busboy either or maybe 1 for inside and out. Dishes always pile up More bad. Don't ever order the prime rib if it's not Saturday. We think my daughter's was cooked on Saturday, served at full price on Sunday but leftovers and was dry and tough. It's costly too. She discovers it back this time as she didn't want to wait another hour for something else. The salads are usually great but this evening they were half salads. Like they ran short and skimped on each one. Onion rings are always good. I dip mine in their salsa. Others catsup or ranch. The ribs were not good -- 2 full racks. The meat was very tough like eating dry pork chops not tender and good. My friend happened to be having her husband's 75th birthday party there toward the end of our meal they showed up. An extra table for about 12 had been added on the grass area at the end of outside the patio. With folding metal chairs. They did NOT staff for the extra seating and my friend texted me after we left that they waited a full HOUR to even get waters!! This is not acceptable. I don't feel that anything will improve until some time that this restaurant is sold and has new management. I just wish that someone would open another steakhouse in North County and provide good service. Apparently we will never see adequate staffing at Loading Chute. So until there's another option we keep coming back. I miss McClintocks in downtown Paso. Finally one last note. I'm a sparkling wine drinker and I love the Wycliffe Sparkling they serve. It's not dry and so delicious. Just perfect and inexpensive too. Win win.

    I was hungry... I had just driven about 3 hours to get into town, checked into my hotel (which is…read morealso amazing) and started to try and find food. Several places were closed for the day already and I saw this little corner place that still had the Open sign on. Burgers? Sure, why not, that should fill me up and it sure did! I ordered the regular Old Fashioned (no cheese), side of fries and a drink. Everyone was very friendly and helpful as I've never been to this place to eat before let alone this part of the state! The burger was perfectly cooked at medium and very juicy and delicious! Fried were good, not great but the burger was the star of the meal anyway. But I will say the fries were good once I dipped them in the dripping juices and sauce from the burger. But it was a very hearty burger and after a long drive, really hit the spot! If I'm ever in this area again or see another Sylvester's I will definitely make it a point to visit and try a different burger. Favorite dish: Old Fashioned with no cheese. Go out and EAT!

I brought my two little grandsons on with me after school let out. First I was prepared because I lived in Atas 28 years and I knew the problem this location has with the middle school and high school kids hanging out here after school. They drive away customers and take up all the seating. Today it was raining in a freak May 28 storm so all the teens were inside. Worst case scenario and it's already normally bad. They even stand in the door and block you from entering as they are talking to another one walking by. I just made my way up the door and pushed forward not intending to be deterred. Inside the teens were taking up fully at least 3 tables for 4 people, mostly boys and there was an old couple in the corner trying to eat a meal that looked very uncomfortable. The teens, none of them had food ordered or on the table. All they do is buy soda or take it as they knew the cashier young girl. I wonder if they even pay for it. I saw her hand them cups I've seen other reviews with people complaining like me about the place being overrun with non paying customers. They will stand in the way too and block the drink machines, door access or whatever. They also have no manners and will not move or say excuse me or anything. All tough guys. lol. I had to kinda push my way through to get to the register. I told my little grandsons to quickly sit down at the only empty table and wait for me while I ordered to go. The girl at the counter was sweet and helpful which was a relief. Note: They give you a discount if you pay with cash. Our order cane up pretty quick because we were the only paying customers left since the old couple already had their food. The place was 100% full with squatters taking all the tables and management needs to step up and post signs. If not dining please move along and afk them to get out of the chairs and leave. !!!!!!! When weather is nice outside even more hoards are out there and it's difficult for families or couples to enjoy a meal. We got home with the food for our 9 year olds birthday dinner and the fries were soggy greasy. I even put them in my big air fry oven to warm and crisp them but they remained soggy. The onion rings were crispy. The 3 large tri tip salads were pretty good but I can only eat lean tri tip. Most of it was not edible for me. The boys liked their kids burgers. Dan had the 1/3 lb bacon burger with cheddar and he liked it. Anyway this restaurant would greatly increase their profit and be a comfortable place if they stepped up and saved tables for paying guests who order food. Isn't that the point of a restaurant?

They pride themselves on there "world famous hot dog" it's a 1/4lb dog split & grilled served on a warm bun & a plentiful condiment bar to boot. Ask the friendly staff in the Deli how the dog came to be "world famous" they be happy to tell you!

There is SO many food options it's hard to list, point is you should see it for yourself, you won't be disappointed!!! It is a lil tucked away, but well worth the visit. ENJOY!!! :)

    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.
