    Cooling off on a hot day. Delicious!
    Sarah C.

    We ordered the Connecticut rolls and coleslaw. Friendly service. Outdoor seating at the park with a cool breeze. The roll was perfectly toasted and loaded with lobster that was tender and delicious. The slaw was dressed in a fresh, light citrus dressing and Fuji apples. Yum . Second visit. There will be many more. Patric, the owner is personable, as are his other two employees.

    We decided to try Morro Bay Lobster during our Central California trip after reading the reviews, and wow, it did not disappoint! My wife and I ordered two Connecticut style lobster rolls, which were recommended by the owner, along with an order of fries. The best lobster roll I had previously was in Boston, but this one surpassed it. The lobster was fresh and juicy, and the roll was perfectly toasted. I would also highly recommend the fries. They were thin and crispy, almost like a french fry and potato chip had a baby. The service was solid, and our food came out quickly. The surrounding area is clean and there are picnic tables, restrooms nearby and a dedicated parking lot, although it can get pretty crowded. Morro Rock is right across the street, so if you are visiting the area, I would definitely recommend stopping here.

    This place popped up on my social media feed, and I knew I had to visit while I was in Morro Bay for the Fourth of July weekend. Luckily, the day after the holiday wasn't busy when they opened, so I was able to walk right up, place my order, and get my food quickly. I ordered the Connecticut-style lobster roll with a side of fries and a fresh lemonade, and everything was absolutely delicious. The lobster was fresh, flavorful, and definitely worth the stop. I also loved the location. There are picnic tables nearby if you want to enjoy your meal outside, and it's within walking distance of downtown with great views, making it a perfect spot to relax after grabbing lunch. I'd heard this place can have long lines, so I felt lucky to visit during a quieter time. The food was fresh, the service was quick, and the overall experience was fantastic. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm passing through Morro Bay!

    This is the best lobster roll I have ever had. Better than any fancy restaurant or famous places. I don't even know what to say, everything about it is delicious. The woman was so friendly and food is phenomenal. I would 100% support this food truck over any fine dining. We would definitely drive 3+ hour again to eat this again. Can't wait to be back

    I'm a big fan! This super clean food truck is located right next to a little gathering area where locals play chess. Service: 5/5 Friendly, quick, and efficient. The food truck was also extremely clean and tidy, which says a lot about the food's quality. Food: 5/5 I must say it is pretty expensive since lobster rolls are around $25 at where I live. Connecticut roll was more than that without any sides. But there were 2 lobster claws meat in my roll so I can attest it's worth every penny. Paired with warm and buttered brioche? Add this onto your must-have meal in Morro bay.

    The guy who runs this shop is a cute old man who was super polite. The lobster roll was pretty big and had a lot of lobster meat. I ordered the Maine style lobster. I've actually had lobsters from Maine before so I can compare. Although this isn't as good as the lobsters in Maine, it was still pretty good! So much lobster meat. The bread was nice as toasty and buttered. Nice creamy sauce on the lobster. Service was also great and I got my order within 10 mins of ordering.

    SO GOOD!! The best lobster rolls we have ever had on the west coast! Tried one of each and loved both!! The fries are crazy good also! Tables outside to enjoy.

    Oh my gosh! The lobster roll here is amazing. We were attended to promptly. Fortunately, there was a bench and table ready for us. It was a lovely day at the bay and it was a wonderful time to enjoy the lobster roll. You place your order at the window food truck and you find yourself a bench and table to enjoy your food.

    Lobster roll. This was the warmed kind. Hands down Exquisite!
    Sara A.

    Came here on my birthday trip and this was one of the best spots we stopped at. The customer service is friendly and quick. The lobster rolls were exceptional. The location is on the main street downtown with so many shops and activities. They have public outdoor seating area, but you can easily walk down to the beach And enjoy a bite as well. These were so delicious, we got seconds to go for our drive down to LA and would actually consider taking a trip just to have another lobster roll. Thank you, Patrick and Josh for everything.

    Connecticut style lobster roll.

    Lobster rolls from a mobile kitchen across from the harbor. The location is fab and next door to Sun-N-Buns Bakery which means you can follow your lobster roll with a cinnamon roll if you're feeling spiritually aligned. There are a few outdoor picnic-style tables, but you can also wander across the street and enjoy your feast with front-row views of Morro Rock. The menu keeps things simple: Connecticut and Maine lobster rolls, a shrimp roll, fries, slaw, and drinks. Prices are high, but you're in Cali and basically eating lobster on the bay which counts as a luxury experience in a region where lobster rolls are rare. Our Connecticut-style lobster rolls were generously packed with northeastern lobster drenched in warm butter, a little seasoning, lemon, and chives, all tucked into a buttered, grilled brioche roll. Every bite was buttery bliss. Just eat quickly because the seagulls have zero respect for personal boundaries.

    This lobster roll is to die for! We decided to split the Connecticut style roll and agreed that would could have eaten an entire roll ourselves. It's was mouth watering and delicious. Very rich, but left us wanting more. We visited on a Saturday, so parking was tough and my friend waited in the car while I ordered. There was a short line, but service was fast and came with a smile. There are picnic tables adjacent to the food truck and additional drinks/items available at the coffee shop on the same property. It's a great spot right on the Embarcadero, so great people watching and sightseeing. The total for our roll with no sides was $27 (before tip). It's a serious price, but worth the money. Highly recommend!

    Connecticut Lobster Roll stuffed with sweet, fresh lobster meat with a side of their crispy yet tender fries.

    Morro Bay Lobster's food truck is located on the side of the Sun N Buns Bakery on the Embarcadero. They are usually open Friday through Monday. Their menu is simple, offering Connecticut and Maine style lobster rolls as well as a California Shrimp roll. Minis (half the size) are also available. Seasoned Flat Fries and House Made Slaw are offered as sides. Portions are generous. The Connecticut style lobster rolls we ordered today were quite flavorful with large pieces of lump meat. A definite must try!

    Maine style Lobster roll
    Linda T.

    Patrick was the sweetest man helping me decide if I wanted the Connecticut style or the Maine style. The quality and freshness is definitely there and it's seasoned perfectly. The soft buttered bread complimented the already amazing lobster in the roll. I took a peek into their truck watching these 2 men cook and their truck was very clean inside. They worked fast and had my lobster roll ready in minutes. They're only open certain days of the week, so check their hours.

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.

When we entered the dog-friendly patio with our little Goldendoodle, Bailey, a large dog seated at the table closest to the only patio entrance lunged toward her and bared its teeth. Since it was the only way in and out, I let the staff know I was concerned. They immediately spoke with the owners, who moved their dogs farther under the table, and after our meal, the owner's father went above and beyond by opening the rope barriers so we could exit another way and avoid walking past them again. Both the father and son were incredibly kind, understanding, and accommodating, which we really appreciated. Once we were settled, we were able to enjoy the beautiful patio. It's a quaint waterfront spot with gorgeous views, a relaxing atmosphere, and the perfect setting to enjoy fresh seafood. Bailey was promptly brought a complimentary bowl of water, and we loved seeing so many other well-behaved dogs enjoying the patio. It's easy to see why this restaurant has such a great reputation for being dog friendly. We ordered the King Salmon Quesadilla special, and it was absolutely delicious. It was packed with generous portions of fresh salmon, plenty of melted cheese, and vegetables, and it was more than enough for my mom and me to share. My brother also really enjoyed the tri-tip sandwich. Everything tasted fresh and was served hot. While we wish the aggressive dogs had been seated somewhere other than the only entrance to the patio, that wasn't the restaurant's fault, and they handled the situation as well as they could. Between the excellent food, beautiful waterfront setting, dog-friendly atmosphere, and genuinely caring owners, we had a great overall experience and would happily return.

    I was craving a good clam chowder. I wanted to try Morro Grill. From their reviews, many said that…read moretheir chowder was really good. I ordered the seafood chowder, loaded! It comes with two pieces of Texas toast. Nicely toasted with a buttery crunch on the outside, yet fluffy anf soft on the inside. Perfect for dipping. Now, about the chowder... The LOADED seafood chowder wasn't really good, it was DELICIOUS!! Our server said it's actually award winning! We will definitely return for their chowder. So flavorful and creamy! Perfect! Our server, Kaitlyn, she was super sweet and also the best. Very thoughtful in thinking of everything. Thank you, Kaitlyn! 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!

All this, paired with the wings, which were outstanding BTW, and it made for a great stop. Other things to know. -Order of 12 wings can be split into two flavors (choice of buffalo, bbq, or mild). We went with buffalo and bbq extra crispy. -The buffalo have an added pepper seasoning that we loved -Bathrooms are downstairs (there's also an elevator) -2 of the 3 TV's at the bar were not working (biggest critique) -There is outside seating with view of the rock and a beautiful sunset if you time it right (we did, but it was a bit hazy due to the fog or overcast or whatever you call it) -Also, we didn't try any other food so we can't vouch for much else but everything people had looked good and we didn't hear any complaints. TRY IT OR DIET FINAL WORD Definitely try it. Matter of fact, we're going to take our own advice and try it again later today!

Unfortunately, each visit has felt a little less impressive than the one before it, and this most recent experience was disappointing enough that I probably would not return. Parking is usually easy, and I have never had to walk more than a couple of minutes. There are also a couple of EV spaces nearby. When my girlfriend and I walked inside, the restaurant felt unusually warm, humid, and stuffy. It was uncomfortable enough that we briefly considered leaving. We chose outdoor seating instead, but that comes with its own drawbacks. The tables are exposed to the afternoon sun, pedestrians walk just feet away, vehicles pass close by, and the working dock is nearby, so you hear forklifts, unloading equipment, and active fishing operations throughout the meal. We started with the Oysters Rockefeller, which I have ordered on all three visits. They were good and are honestly one of the main reasons I have continued returning. They are not easy to find where I live, and this version is enjoyable, even if it is not on the level of what I have had in places like New Orleans. My girlfriend ordered the clam chowder with bacon. We have been comparing clam chowders around the Central Coast, and unfortunately this one ranked last among the several we have tried so far. She described it as average and nothing memorable. I ordered the steamer clams, and this was easily the biggest disappointment. The very first clam I ate had noticeable grit in it, and unfortunately that continued through most of the bowl. I would estimate that the majority of the clams had some amount of sand or grit, which made them unpleasant to eat. I also found one clam that remained completely closed after cooking. I left it untouched. At a restaurant specializing in seafood, I expected more careful preparation and inspection. The broth was also surprisingly bland. I ended up adding hot sauce just to give it more flavor. As I worked through the broth, I also noticed three small hairs. I cannot say where they came from, but finding multiple hairs in the same dish was understandably concerning and further reduced my appetite. The service did not help. Our server took our order, delivered drinks and food, and eventually brought the check, but there was very little interaction between those points. No one checked whether we needed anything or asked how the food was going. That was especially frustrating because if someone had checked in, I would have had an opportunity to mention the problems with the clams while I was eating them. Overall, the Oysters Rockefeller were still good, but almost everything else about this visit was disappointing: the uncomfortable indoor environment, noisy outdoor seating, average chowder, gritty clams, bland broth, cleanliness concerns, and minimal service. I have enjoyed this restaurant more in the past, but after this experience, I think there are other places around Morro Bay where I would rather spend my money.
