Fried pepperjack cheese
Chris D.

This is one of the only places around staying open past 9pm which is smart since the place was packed to the brim! After a 7 hour drive (usually takes 4) we found this place and stopped in before continuing to our hotel. It's upstairs but they have an elevator left of the stairs. The bathrooms are downstairs by the elevator. Men's room was covered in blood so no effing clue what happened there! Check in at the register and you'll get seated inside or outside with full service. I ordered a Cali Squeeze beer and wife had a cocktail. Both great after the long drive. We started with deep fried pepperjack cheese which is so much better than mozzarella. More places need to serve this! I went with the smoked salmon BLT which was unique. Had a big filet of skin on salmon which was excellent on its own. Add the thick bacon and dill mayo and it really made for a great sandwich. Wife had pulled pork sandwich which tasted like burnt ends. Was excellent. Might have been the fact we were forced to evacuate our home and get stuck in holiday traffic but this was the perfect ending to a chaotic stressful day. Service was on point even with it being a full house.

Visiting my sister and time got away from us so decided to order through DoorDash for a food delivery. My sister stated that Morro Grill was a good place so we took a look at the menu and both ordered one of their bowls and a side of tater tots. Good size portion and we each enjoyed what we had ordered but have to say that the tater tots kind of stole the show. I ordered them extra crispy and recommend them that way they were so good we were craving them again a couple of days later. Prices were a little high in my opinion but we did enjoy the meal.

chowder & chicken tenders  cranberry cider
Ceci S.

Very casual & family friendly environment. Staff was nice & friendly. We sat at the bar but at the end where apparently they have their bussing station so just be careful it can get loud & you might get brushed on by the bus boys. Their chowder was not it 3/10, chicken tenders were crispy 8/10. HOWEVER their double burger was insanely juicy and flavorful, me & my husband split it & got sweet potato waffle fries 10/10.

Clam chowder here is the so delicious! The raw oysters so fresh! Friendly customer service and great atmosphere! Our server Bong Bong (aka James) is an awesome server! Fun and made it enjoyable time! Must try place if you come visit!

Exterior of Morro Grill - located in the Morro Landing building on the Embarcadero

Located on the second floor in the Morro Landing building at the north end of the Embarcadero, Morro Grill offers delicious drinks, food and views. Since Morro Grill is located on the second floor, for patrons who cannot or prefer not to use the stairs, an elevator is available at the front entryway. Although a bit compact but cozy and comfortable, plenty of seating is available. There is a combination of seating - indoors at the bar or at individual tables, or on their outdoor patio for dining al fresco, with dog-friendly options. There are three TV monitors above the bar area, as well as two monitors on the opposite wall, all with different programming. Both the indoor and outdoor seating offering fantastic vistas of the bay and Morro Rock. We enjoyed our "Bay Basket" (our choice was the Mahi-mahi filets/Cole Slaw and a garden salad) and a "Salmon B.L.T." with tater tots. Everything was delicious, fresh, and well prepared. Service was spectacular and friendly. They offer a Happy Hour Monday - Friday, from 3pm - 5pm with very reasonable prices on beer, cocktails and wine, as well as a selection of eats.

The food was very good, service was nice and friendly, and the ambiance was beautiful. Super clean and fast paced.

I have been here three times before, ordered a cheeseburger & fries once and I can't recall what the other time. Had to park quite a bit away from the restaurant due to handicapped spots being taken, There is an elevator which I have used on previous visits, but it wasn't working properly going up this time (going down was fine). First time here I dined outside, it was sunny, windy, and the birds begged mercilously!! Second time and this time I sat inside at the high table by the window. The chairs have a nice leg rest. View of Rock is great, although you have to look past the folks dining outside. There are sports playing on all the TVs and it is a bit loud inside, but at least you don't get sunburned, blown away, or attacked by the birds!! They have the napklins and some condiments at the table, which is actually nice not to have to ask for more napkins!! I ordered some chicken strips with beer-battered fries (worth the extra cost), a bottomless soda, and a romaine salad. The salad was sort of a chopped style and was hard to eat but at least it was crunchy lettuce. I needed additional blue cheese dressing. The chicken was too spicy and tasted like fish, I would bet they use the same fryer for their fish and chicken. I also don't prefer breaded chicken strips, battered would have been better. The Fries were fantastic, as usual. Definitely order the beer-battered fries, you won't be disappointed. The refills on the soda were very slow and they didn't add more ice to replace that which had melted. I will probably come here again and would have the cheeseburger and beer-battered fries. No more spicy, fishy, bread crumbed chicken strips for me!!

Trip Western Tri Tip Sandwich

Good spot on the water. Came here for lunch with the family. Started with the MB Passion, which was sweet and light on the booze, so don't recommend their cocktails. For lunch, I got the seafood chowder and bay basket with coconut shrimp. Seafood chowder was flavorful, a tad salty, but flavorful. Coconut shrimp was huge and crispy. Brother in law got the Tri tip sandwich, which was a tad dry, but he got a side of bbq sauce, and that did the trick. Service was efficient, and spot was nice being on the water. Recommend the coconut shrimp.

The first time was a big hit. We looked up where to get the best Bloody Mary and this place popped up. Well, that visit it didn't disappoint with the BM. We got seated on the patio looking out to the marina and Morro rock. There was the right amount of hi top chairs for our group. Also it was quite busy during the long weekend and the weather was amazing. So it was perfect outside. Of course the Bloody Mary was in order again. We also found out that it was happy hour which was great. The BM was normal price but they did have some small bites offered which we had as well as a couple of cocktails. Blood Mary was accompanied by olives, pickle onions, peppercini, celery and a slice of bacon. They know what they're doing. We also ordered one of the cocktails but it was just whatever's. Nothing to rave about. As we were having dinner later, an order of the jalapeño popper bites to share. Quite tasty I must say and served with ranch dipping sauce. When it was time to cash out, we had him split the bill for us. But noticed that the pooper bites was rang up the full price instead of happy hour. It was a big difference hence we mentioned it to him. Well, he said he'll cancel it and re ring it up. When the bill came, it was slightly confusing and the popper bites was still more than happy hour price. Also if you're splitting the check in twos, why was one bill way more than the other. Not by a small amount but a good potion. It was odd but whatever. Bloody Mary was good which was the reason of this visit. Patio was quite nice with the view. The bill situation was a little of a hassle but we manage. I'll still come for the drink. And if you're here during sunset, it's front row seat.

First visit though we have walked past this place on the way to Morro Rock maybe 50 times. So happy we stopped this time. We weren't too hungry so we just split two appetizers. We had a Bowl of their Seafood Chowder and the Sweet & Savory Brussel Sprouts. Delicious! We'll certainly be back. They have a great view of the bay from their upstairs deck. There is an elevator available if stairs are an issue. Service was friendly. Presentation was solid, not exceptional but very solid.

This place is a must one visiting Morro Bay! The food was incredible, and the vibes were so great as well!! The salad that I got was very delicious, and they were able to substitute the ranch with their delicious ginger, soy vinaigrette! My husband got the California burger with an extra patty, and the burger was fantastic! It was so beautiful to sit on the porch and eat in front of the rock! The service was also fantastic, the food came out so quickly, and the restaurant staff were super friendly! Of note the restaurant is on the second floor! There's plenty of free parking!

Clam chowder + fish and chips
Mari C.

I was craving fish and chips and hoping to sit outside by the water, so we chose this spot specifically for its waterfront seating. Unfortunately, the plan fell through--the outdoor area, though spacious, wasn't clean, and seagulls had taken over. It was disappointing because the view was beautiful. The staff mentioned the birds can get pretty aggressive, so we ended up dining indoors, which wasn't my preference. The indoor space has more of a bar vibe, with high-top tables throughout. I ordered the clam chowder, which was very good and probably would have been enough on its own. The fish and chips included both fish and shrimp; the shrimp were great, but the fish was quite bland. My travel companion has a gluten allergy and found the menu fairly limited, though our server was very kind and did his best to accommodate him. I saw a few burgers go by and immediately regretted not ordering because it looked really good

Beautiful view of morro rock

Burger was burnt and greasy, I sent it back and went to Burger King, sad. Cause the view was beautiful look at that.

Pina colada pudding was delish!

We were lucky enough to snag the last almond croissant, and what a treat it was. The exterior had a sweet, delicate crunch, and with each bite, rich almond filling oozed out for the perfect balance of texture and flavor. It wasn't overloaded with powdered sugar, and the sweetness was just right--indulgent without being overwhelming. I also tried a slice of the salmon and leek quiche. It was light and fluffy while still feeling substantial and satisfying. The combination of savory salmon and sweet leek worked beautifully together. Whether you're starting your morning or looking for a midday pick-me-up, the quiche is a must-try. I was excited to try the house made mango-infused black iced tea, but unfortunately, there was nothing mango flavored about it That said, this bakery is still well worth a visit. Between the pastries and quiche, it is an easy stop to recommend when you're in Morro Bay.

Tuesday evening was different only in the fact that "WE" chose Dorn's for "OUR" after Wedding place to enjoy a dinner and celebrate here with all. We took our vow's at the 24st beach in Cayucos, our Aloha wedding on the sand. Monica and I chose an M&M's candy theme, we passed out some of the candy as we came into the restaurant and gave some to the staff, all in good fun. We were greeted by our server Joy T. and the dinner fun was on! Joy took great care of the six of us. Champagne was poured order was taken and we're On. The Oysters arrived in a timely fashion, boom then the Caesar salad my wife and I shared perfect, and the entrees followed. Everything was fresh and hot and all the entrees were served at the same time, thank you. WoW nicely done kitchen and orchestrated by Joy herself. She then followed the show with a special congratulatory Chocolate Moose dessert (see pic). The evening was very special to us and those that we shared our wedding day meal at Dorn's. Thank You Joy!

Personally loved the fish burrito and tacos but they can't compare to my favorite item. JD Big Back Tip: Bring a water bottle filled up. They may a water dispenser that runs out quickly and they are very busy to refill it. They do sell bottled water or other beverages there as well. Would reccomend a jacket as well as it does get windy right by the ocean.
