Delicious, flavorful burger & fries!! I ordered the single smashed burger (it came with cheese, sause, onion rings, & pickles), and will try the double next time. Sooooo glad I ate here. WOW!!! I highly recommend a visit!! read more

If you're looking for an incredible meal, Low Tide absolutely delivers. I stopped by with a group of four during a chaotic car show weekend here in Pismo, and they completely knocked it out of the park. The burger was amazing--incredibly fresh, juicy, and tasted great. But the real showstopper? The loaded fries. They were somehow even better than the burger, which is saying a lot. Everyone in our group of four loved their food; it was a unanimous 5-star experience across the board. What blew me away the most was the service. Despite Pismo being packed for the car show, the staff was completely on point, fast, and super attentive. Managing that kind of rush without letting the quality slip is no easy feat. read more

Really quick and friendly service 5/5 Had a double smash burger and it was really good. The smash makes it seem smaller than it really is but great flavor and good size. The only knock for me were the fries felt a little stale. The tallow is a little rich for me as well but overall not bad. Quick spot and good food with friendly faces! read more

I gave this place a try while visiting Pismo Beach, and it was just. okay. The burger wasn't bad, but it also wasn't anything that really stood out. With so many good food spots in the area, I was expecting something a little more memorable. The food was decent overall, but I'd give it about a 5/10. Nothing was terrible it just didn't leave me wanting to come back. The staff was friendly enough, and the experience was fine, but for me the food didn't live up to the hype. Next time I'm in Pismo Beach, I'll probably check out a different burger spot instead. read more

Low Tide Spot - Double cheese Burger with fries - Burgers Near Me - Pismo Beach, California

First and foremost, pricing is decent especially for a tourist area Get the tallow fries ($4), they are the best thing on the menu, absolutely delicious with any sauce, I regret not getting the loaded fries ($7) but honestly a sunny day and a bench by the beach would make a perfect trip to Pismo The Double Oklahoma (OK) Smash Burger ($10) really lives up to its name because it is smashed and it is really just okay. Like nothing special, very wet, a metric ton of onions, but absolutely no flavor. Falls apart in your hands and is very messy. I added an egg ($2) and that did nothing to help in any substantial way. All bark no bite kinda burger, skip this place and go to Hoagies or Cool Cat for a decent burger. But again the tallow fries are the freaking best, the most crispiest fries with amazing crunch and flavor. Service was great, if you call in you can pay when you pick up, online you gotta pay with card at checkout but the prices are the same as in store and over the phone which is really nice. Everybody inside was cool and cordial. If you want a smash burger then go for it, but if you want an experience maybe try some place else. read more

YUMMY!!! Service was so awesome and friendly! Definitely recommend for a nice burger! Loved that it wasn't so greasy the best part! read more

Was so excited to try Low Tide Spot, and it did not disappoint! Their smash burgers are absolutely delicious, and you can get a single, double or triple patty. All smash burgers come with cheese, sauce, onions and pickles. And they also offer add ons like bacon, tomato and lettuce. You have the option of choosing tallow fries and tots, which are also both very yummy. One of the most exciting things about Low Tide is that have a variety of fresh lemonade drinks which are to die for! Highly recommend, and cannot wait to come back again soon! read more

Great new quick eats spot in Downtown Pismo! The single smashburger was the perfect size for a light lunch, and I can't wait to come back hungry for a double and to share some fries. The burger patty was smashed thin and tasted fresh, and the onion crisps add great flavor and texture to the burger. The whole place is clean, and the service was fast and friendly. read more

Wow, the burgers were amazing. I had the Oklahoma Smashburger. It was so good, piping hot, messy, awesome solid burger. also had the loaded tallow fries. Those were freaking amazing. Wife had the smash burger with bacon and egg, she said it was great. The line went fast and food was out quick! The staff were nice people. It's a small place with a few tables, I suggest taking it to go and finding a table down the street. Don't forget to grab a tasty lemonaid! Anyway, We love this place. We will be back for sure. read more

I went to this joint after a hike at the pismo preserve, i was very satisfied and the service was great i don't know if it was the owner or a manager who was also there but he added a sort of old school tough love talk with regulars and the workers it was refreshing to see that environment is still alive. The burger was just right with ingredient ratios and the tots were supper crisp id say crunchy and salty to perfection and the limited time hibiscus lemonade was refreshing and natural. I cant remember how much i paid but the food was delicious and i would definitely be going bk again. read more

Delicious burgers and incredible fries/tots! Friendly, helpful staff. Great beach burger!

If you're looking for a quick bite to eat, before or after a walk on the pier, look no more. The juicy smashed burgers with crunchy onion ring like crumbles with beef tallow French fries are so good, we ate here twice on our 5-day vacation. Top it off with a smashed lemonade - chefs kiss! The service is fast and the staff are super friendly! read more

Low Tide Spot - Delicious breakfast sandwich and tots! Delicious watermelon lemonade! - Burgers Near Me - Pismo Beach, California

Best thing - the very crisp "tallow fries." They were tasty and served in a decent portion, with a choice of three condiments. The basic burger is just that, basic. Fried onion crisps, sauce, cheese, pickle slices. Tomato - extra 50¢. Lettuce - extra 50¢ (seriously). The patty was sufficiently smashed, as it should be. But the bun was also, resulting in an unpleasantly smooshed sandwich. It tasted Ok, but looked rough. (Still can't get over the one-dollar upcharge for lettuce and tomato). The folks are friendly, and appear to like what they're doing ... this was on an "off" night, few tourists, on the eve of a big weekend. The place is really small - three tables and a couple of stools. I suspect most of the business will be takeout. All in all, it's doubtful this will be a "go to" place for locals, who can get a much better "smash burger" elsewhere (including L&T) without the hassle of Pismo Beach crowds and parking. read more

Stumbled into Lo Tide Spot in Pismo Beach recently and honestly... I wasn't expecting much. Just thought I'd grab a quick burger. But man... these smash burgers are legit. And staff is down to earth. Great burgers great people. The patties have that perfect crispy edge you want from a smash burger, but they're still super juicy in the middle. Simple, greasy in the best way, and the bun somehow holds it all together without turning into a mess halfway through. Nothing fancy or overcomplicated -- just a really good burger done right. The whole place has that laid-back beach feel too. Feels like the kind of spot you hit after surfing or being out in the sun all day. I'm curious if anyone else in SLO County has tried it yet. What did you order? Single or double? Not saying it's definitively the best smash burger around... but it might be the best one I've had on the Central Coast so far. read more

We're the family that came in yesterday & immediately left out ... But came back in After wasting $50+ on unseasoned sandwiches from down the street , we were nervous to say the least ! Soon as we walked back in , the cook assured us "BEST BURGER IN PISMO" & got to work ... In total we paid under $50 got 3 AMAZING BURGERS, 2 Fries & 2 lemonades .... Wanted to tell y'all yesterday how good it was , but it's my wife's birthday & I got a little busy.... If you're in pismo , go give them a try ! Amazing food and service.... Thanks for your patience and understanding read more

What a perfect place to get a Smash Burger! A bonus is the burger is the same size as the bun, not smaller mine a lot of places. And more than one pickle! The fries are outstanding! Love that they are fried in beef tallow. And don't forget the fresh lemonade! read more

1st of all... I paid $16.00 for a double burger and fries! The hot tallow fries were amazing! The burger was not worth 1/2 what I paid for it! Service was not friendly at all. Definitely not worth visiting again unless I need some great fries. read more

There's a lot of tourist traps here - this isn't one of them - the reviews are a bit overblown, but not bad at all especially for 18 bucks for a double, fries and a drink - recommended read more

I've been waiting to try this place and finally popped in today for a double smash burger. Simply perfect. Pismo has crazy lines at most of their lunch spots This is a great alternative only a block and a half from the sand and I highly recommended. The owner seemed like a really great guy too. read more

Stopped by when they had just been open one week. Everything went great, they have it sorted nicely. Excellent hamburger at a very reasonable price. In fact, not that much more than the parking meters out front (park one block up to east for free, not that I knew that before. Highly recommend trying it. read more

This place is great!! I try to eat here every time I'm around for work. The fries are delicious. Talked to the owner running the cashier and he's put a lot of time and money into the place. Nice to see him down there involved. The one constructive criticism I hope he gets is, the bun needs a major upgrade. People are going there for a good meal and the bun makes it look like a McDonalds junk bun. read more

Great, tasty Oklahoma style smash burger served up quickly by friendly employees. The fries were a little too salty for me but they were great fries. Every place should fry them in tallow like this place. Very affordable. Highly recommend! read more

Amazing place and amazing food - loved their fries and burgers- great service - they cared a lot and greet you with a smile
