This time, I ordered a half pound of sliced tri-tip and requested it rare, along with a half rack of baby back ribs. Unfortunately, the tri-tip was not rare when I got it, and it was sliced thinner than I expected. The flavor also wasn't nearly as good as I remembered from previous visits. At about $12 for half a pound, I was disappointed by the quality. I also ordered a half rack of baby back ribs for around $16. While they were okay initially, they didn't seem as flavorful or tender as the ribs I had enjoyed here before. The leftovers I reheated the next day were particularly disappointing and not very enjoyable. In the past the ribs were great reheated. I may have caught them on an off day, but this visit was a noticeable step down from my previous experiences. Given the prices and the excellent food I've had here in the past, I left feeling disappointed and hoping this was just an isolated experience.

Since Yelp isn't showing my earlier reviews I can only update so sorry if I repeat anything…read more I recently revisited Gilligan's, so many people are giving such a high rating that I hoped their sandwiches had gotten better since my last review. Unfortunately, their sandwiches are about the same - at least the one I try. I ordered a turkey on a roll with lettuce, cheese, and mayo. The bread was still SO DRY that I couldn't like the sandwich at all. I did order a small pizza and a hotdog. These are new to the menu since I was there last. After waiting an incredibly long amount of time to get my order, I was at least happy with the pizza and hot dog. Glad to have a hot dog option next to the theatre so I can sneak one in!! I ordered extra cheese on the pizza but I didn't need to. I am happy to upgrade my star rating to 3-stars for those two new items. I am picky about the bread for my sandwiches and honestly the only one I liked was when you had the sliced wheat bread option available one day as a fluke. I will go to Mr. Pickles for my sandwiches from now on, but I might stop in for a pizza or a dog.

I've been considering trying this place for years, and finally decided to give it a shot because…read moreit's popular and came recommended. I ordered an al pastor burrito for about $12, and unfortunately, I was disappointed. The burrito was mostly rice, followed by beans, with only a tiny amount of pork. The pork was made up of small, old, dried-out pieces that tasted bad. There was also a small amount of white onion, cilantro, and cheese. I ate enough to fill me up and threw the rest away. Ironically, the quality was pretty much what I expected it would be, despite the much higher ratings. I've had much better burritos elsewhere. This one was basically tasteless except for a little old-pork flavor, a few bites of fresh white onion, a hint of cilantro, and salt. I did notice some guys eating tacos outside, and those actually looked much better than the burrito I received. Maybe that's the better choice here.

Felt like we were in a time warp that took us to the 1970's. Ok, if you are in the area highly recommend going. We were in Pismo for the weekend and the 30 minute drive was easy at 8:30am when we left. It opens at 9am so I thought it would be good to be there then. And so did about 80 people. The line was to the end of the block. Don't be deterred. We were striking up conversations with everyone around us. You order at the window, they give you a number for the table, and they bring out your food. Look for the sauces they keep above the sugar cream station. Onto the food! We got the San Luis Sunrise (free range eggs, Niman Ranch bacon ends, avocado, hk sauce) and the Mannix Machaca (scrambled eggs, slow cooked carnitas, hk green salsa, avocado, hk sauce). I thought by the look of it that the waffles would be the winner....nope! The blue corn flour tortilla Mannix Machaca won the day! Oh, and the ridiculous smoothly the Baywood Berry. One is enough for two and they'll split it for you. Put this place on your must try list!

Now, the gf and I didn't get the chowder, so perhaps that's great. But we ordered Steamer Clams, Fish Sandwich, and Fish & Chips -- all were awful. Steamer Clams: "Steamed in butter, garlic, and wine, served with garlic bread" -- well, it was basically butter broth, swimming in it. No seasoning or salt, no flavor. All the taste was oily butter, and I didn't feel well because of too much. [$19.50, 1.5 stars] Fish Sandwich: made from snapper and presented badly. It was overcooked and rubbery, gf sent it back. [$18, 1.5 stars] Fish & Chips: nice portion, but bland as hell and I didn't care for the breading -- which had the taste of flour. Fries were okay. [$18.50, 3.0 stars] Move along.

The fries are super crispy onthe outside and soft inside. I've never had fries like these anywhere else and I will be dreaming about them. This cute food truck is located near the water along the Embarcadero. There is plenty of outdoor seating (but not much shade). The people who run the truck are super friendly and inviting. My experience here was really great and I can't wait for my next visit to Morro Bay.

So, they will pause taking orders to catch up - and personally, I prefer that vs. someone taking my order and feeling like I'm Waiting "too long". They have two lobster roll options (we went with the Maine). It was dressed perfectly, had great seasoning and was very a generous portion. We also tried the CA shrimp roll, which had similar dressing/seasoning and was just as tasty. They also have slaw or "flat fries" option, which we opted for and they were so good! There are some benches to sit at & enjoy, or you can walk to the pier and eat there. Very little shade, but there are public bathrooms right by the benches.

Morro Grill's reviews looked pretty good so we're looking forward to returning to try their other menu items. Especially their homemade carrot cake that Kaitlin recommended but we were too full. They're located upstairs but they have an elevator if you need it. They have indoor and outdoor seating (right on the water). The outside can get a little warm on sunny days but not as hot as the Central Valley! Morro Grill has only been here a year but we hope they'll last many more, for our return trips!
