    Popper bites
    D L.

    Truthfully I want to give a 3, however our server was great so I'm giving a 4. I believe his name is Miguel. Throughout our interaction, he remained professional and cheerful - his great attitude saved the experience. We went inside and were able to get seated immediately. We ordered the calamari, flaming hot chicken sandwich, and battered mahi mahi tacos. We were later informed that they were out of the flaming hot chicken. Bummer since that's what we came in for, but not the end of the world. We switched it for the grilled mahi mahi tacos. Then we were informed again that they just ran out of calamari, so we swapped that for popper bites based on our server's recommendation. The kitchen was backed up but our server communicated that with us and made sure our waters were full. The popper bites are really addictive. Some were a little cold inside but I didn't mind. The grilled mahi mahi tacos were alright - the fish itself was good but the rest of the taco was missing something, I took a bite of the battered mahi mahi tacos and got a shrimp shell. I thought that was weird, then took another 2 bites and same thing- shrimp shells. I was given battered shrimp tacos. Normally I would've let it go and just ate the shrimp tacos, but I couldn't because they all had shells on them. It's really lucky that I'm not someone with a shellfish allergy. I let our server know and he apologized, offered to take the battered tacos off, and replace with something else. I got another set of poppers instead since I knew they were good. I don't think I'd return but I'm happy I gave them a shot. With the food mishaps alone, I would've been greatly annoyed, however Miguel's great attitude saved the experience.

    When you go to a restaurant that knocks your block off!! Coconut shrimp with garlic fries was the main. Great food with a great outdoor 2nd floor seating and million dollar view of the bay. Very lucky to have stumbled upon it while in town. Will definitely come again.

    A solid 4 for an early weeknight dinner. Extra credit for being open on a Monday night. Staff very friendly, service a little clunky. Beautiful view of Morro Bay and the Rock. Inside tables were more comfortable for us as sunset was a bright blare and there was a lot of birdy action on the deck. 5 star popper bites, 5 star buffalo chicken salad. The balsamic vinaigrette is more like a Dijon honey mustard. Pastrami was on sourdough (hmmmm) and a little too soggy. A nice sparkling Pinot noir rosé by the glass was $12. Would try again after dark.

    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.

    We had a good time at Morro Grill. The entire staff was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. We sat upstairs, which has a nice view to the rock, but the second floor is not easy for disabled people to get up there. (only stairs) Definitely will be a problem for anyone that has mobility challenges. Overall, service and good food--just keep the stairs in mind!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Indoor dining area

    This place is great. About the same amount of indoor and outdoor seating, which is not very much. Location and views are great. Best casual dining in Morro Bay. TVs for watching sports. Great vegetarian options. A menu with nice variety. The fries and tater tots are fire. Service is a bit hit and miss but usually pretty good. Give this place a try if you're in Morro Bay and want some really interesting food. You'll be glad you did.

    The best of my written reviews, dear Yelp Review Readers, are reserved for the establishments that "meet or beat expectations". Morro Grill does it AGAIN! We arrived around 3:30 on a Saturday and the restaurant was moderately busy. Our table was in the interior dining room at the window (nice view). Our Server for this experience (Kate) presented us with menus promptly. Kate was fabulous...her service "spot-on", professional and very personable as well (thank-you Kate). Our order consisted of Drinks : A Lemon Drop (4/5 - the question here was if the cocktail actually contained alcohol. We were assured it did, but the drink was replaced non-the-less. The replacement tasted the same ‍..."our bad", but Kate didn't charge us for either!). A Sandy Beach (5/5 - ya...this cocktail is outstanding!) and a Big Sur IPA (5/5). Our ordered Mains: Mushroom Swiss w/ Bacon 2X - one w/ Beer Battered Fries, the other w/a Side Caesar Salad - (5/5 - a definite "go-to burger " cause it's sooo darn good) Bay Basket (Mahi Mahi w/double Coleslaw) - (5/5 delicious and enough to take home for another meal) Grilled Jalapeno Burger (w/egg and Bacon) - (5/5 - always a winner). The wait for our meal after receiving our drinks seemed remarkably short...yay! This occasion was a Birthday celebration meal for one of our party of 4...and Kate presented us with a very delicious piece of Carrot Cake which was large enough for all of us to share - (5/5...if we could give the Carrot Cake a "higher" score/rating we would. It is, as far as Carrot Cake goes, truly OUTSTANDING!) The dining experience couldn't have been better...Kate's service and customer service in "making it right" with the Cocktail and Birthday Cake, the atmosphere/view and the fabulous food didn't disappoint. Once again, on this occasion, in this Yelper's opinion...Morro Grill on the Embarcadero in Morro Bay truly earned this "really, ya gotta go and enjoy" 5 Star review!

    Trip Western Tri Tip Sandwich
    Brigitte M.

    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.

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.
