    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Seafood chowder
    Jonathan N.

    Found this place on yelp and wanted to enjoy the view, a must! We were able to see the sea otters before, and during our dinner. The server was so nice and recommended the power bowl. 10/10 food and service, only complain was the drink didn't hold up to what I expected but all good

    Pina colada pudding was delish!
    Silvia D.

    BROOKE. YOU. ROCK! SERVICE: hands down great! BROOKE was fabulous. Came around often enough to make sure our coffee cups never went dry. FOOD: build your own omelet- was stuffed with bacon and mushrooms. Quite tasty. Pancakes were decent. Ambiance- cute little café. There's out door seating as well. Came in and left stuffed. Owner gave us a complimentary slice of pina colada pudding- FABULOUS!!!! IN ALL TWAS A NICE EXPERIENCE. come check it out!

    Lunch in Morro. Great views.
    KimberLee M.

    The outdoor patio view was incredibly beautiful! Incredible, close up view of Morro Rock. Go for the view. Worth it!! The All American Hamburger was delicious . The grilled fish tacos were just so so, ehh. Would not order those again. Casual dinning in bar atmosphere. Nice server. Better fish tacos elsewhere in town for sure. But nice experience overall.

    Beautiful sunset view from the outside patio.

Magic! We now see another sort of magic happening as these long held traditional burger joints start fading away. Each Fosters tries to bring its own personality into the mix and it can turn into something special, as it has with this Morro Bay location. We arrived, parked at the curb outside and immediately noticed the sidewalk chalk art. Arrows individually drawn with Fosters treats and playful characters in bright colors, directing customers to the order window and a hopscotch for playing whilst you await your treats! The dining room also looks newer compared to other Fosters we've seen, and its cleanliness was very inviting. Hubs ordered 2 hot dogs and a small Pepsi. Simple. $11.77 TL. While, that made the small(aka baby sized 6oz, maybe?) Pepsi a whopping $3, it was a cheap, simple and delicious enough meal for him to be satisfied. In Morro Bay, along the Embarcadero, we later noticed a walk up window charging $7 for a single hot dog. While eating, we noticed a dad & daughter sit down with their food. Shortly after, she knocked over her Dr. Pepper. Dad jumped to ask for paper towels to clean, but staff came out promptly, cleaned it up and replaced her drink. Noice! Note: no refills on sodas is offered, but that's no reason to punish a kid that already feels bad. Well done, staff! Everyone worked fast and efficiently and the place had personality! Lots of options for eats and treats if you enjoy convenience foods.

There may not be one single real berry in the dessert, but all that delicious sugar sure looks tempting! LOL Cheers! "CC"
