    Top: chicken pesto sandwich  Bottom: hot mess
    Kaya S.

    I have only been here twice but I make it a point to stop by when I am in the area. I've tried their duck pot pie, hot mess, and chicken pesto sandwich. I love the hot mess, it's absolute perfection and highly recommend it. The chicken pesto is good but I would prefer it with a stronger basil/pesto flavor. The staff is sweet and helpful in providing recommendations. I haven't purchased any of their meat or cheese but it looks like really good cuts of meat and really fresh. I cannot wait to try some of their other dishes!

    Italian and it is so good!

    This is a great deli. The sandwiches and deli salads are great. Also, their bbq and other hot dishes are insanely good! If you are looking for a top notch deli then stop here you will not be disappointed!

    Beef Wellington

    I absolutely love Morro Bay Butcher & Deli! Their sandwiches are very good. Their mushroom stew is excellent. Their holiday stuffing is delicious. And last night I cooked their beef Wellington and it was the most amazing! It's all worth the price for sure.

    Yes - I had counted down the days and finally was able to return to my favorite shop that makes the most delicious grilled cheese sandwich, namely their "Garden Grilled Cheese". Taking a bite of it after months of dreaming about it was like being in ecstasy! Knowing that they are going on a break was alarming. I went back nearly every single day before they closed up. My hubby and I decided to try their chicken pesto as well, and it was also really well-made loaded with tender chicken, pesto, and sundried tomatoes. Morro Bay Butcher & Deli definitely does not skimp on quality ingredients. But the pull of the garden grilled cheese was too great. I went back for another one just right before their break. I wish everyone there have a wonderful time-off! I will be sure to return every chance I get :)

    I was amazed how thin a pastrami sandwich could be made. For a butcher they sure are tight with the meat, I like more meat than bread. The bread was so greasy I had to throw out the bottom pieces. The meat was good but not nearly enough. I had to stop for a burrito after lunch to fill up. If you're looking for a good deli skip this place.

    This is the hot mess on there web site and the actual hot mess we purchased

But if you're planning a visit, build in serious buffer time. We stopped in on Memorial Day and, with several parties ahead of us in line, didn't place our order until nearly 20 minutes after arriving. By the 45-minute mark, our food still hadn't come out for two paninis and a soup. What made it especially frustrating was watching parties who arrived after us get their cheese orders and drinks served before anyone had even started assembling our sandwiches. It was clear the shop was understaffed for the holiday weekend, with one person managing the counter and another in the back prepping. We ended up asking to take the sandwiches cold just to get out the door, only to have both stuffed into one small bag, sloppily wrapped. The soup, unfortunately, came out lukewarm regardless. None of this felt malicious. The shop has an unhurried, artisanal quality that's part of its appeal, but that can't fully account for the gap between the experience and a nearly hour-long wait for a simple lunch order while others moved ahead of us. Come for the cheese, come for the atmosphere. Just don't come hungry with anywhere to be.

    Wowww. The oysters here are so SO good!!…read more We did a pitstop by Morro Bay on our way home and we had this place bookmarked for a while so we stopped by to get some oysters. The store itself is quite small but thankfully there wasn't too big of a line so it didn't feel too cramped. There are tables outside where you can sit and shuck your own oysters but all the tables were taken so we got the shucked ones instead and sat at the little bar inside. We ordered a dozen small oysters to start with but they were so good we ended up ordering two large ones to try out. The oysters here are cold and fresh with a bit of brine in the beginning and that mellows out to a sweetness. I regret not bringing any home. I will definitely bring a large cooler next time in the area! Totally worth visiting!

They were kind enough to bring the order to the table when ready. Wow! Smaller oysters but so fresh and soft and delicious! Slurped away with their green sauce. I guess I see more grass bar name afterward, whereas I never paid much attention. They seem to provide their oysters to many restaurants. I even just watched a youtube video of Holbox, an LA downtown Michelin star counter service seafood place, and the owner chef was getting oysters from grassy bar! Guess it's the best, glad I got to try it as fresh as it could be from the source!

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.

It also took a little bit to get the food which we figured. This is what we ordered: -Fish and chips-best out of all our items. 3 pieces and good fries -Calamari plate was also good -Lobster bisque- lacked lobster -Crab cakes- which I got was not good!! There was soo much fillers that I barely tasted the crab. I definitely would not recommend. Kinda gummy actually. Overall, it was ok. I wouldn't need to go again.
