    Portions are SO BIG! Everything was great and they are super fast. I'll be back for sure.

    First time coming in, service was great and friendly. Food was hot and fresh, shrimp was JUMBO so that's always a A+in my book.

    Went there for the fish and chips and was not disappointed. Deep fried well and the fish was cooked perfectly. I loved the French fries. The place is outdated and could use a makeover. It's in a great location; a bit off the beaten path but good parking around it. Just a short walk to the hub of the town. Our waiter, Juan, was absolutely awesome. Great personality and on the ball. We will definitely go back.

    My kids (9 & 11) absolutely love this place and they even remembered coming here last year! Food was delicious and I inhaled my fish and chips. We're always satisfied whenever we visit Pismo and our server Juan is very nice and kept refilling our fountain drinks! My youngest really liked his soft shell crab and said that, "It's seasoned well, we should tell the chef!"

    Chowder wasn't hot and didn't have any flavor. Swordfish was way too salty and I like salt. Maybe should've tried the fish in chips.

We shared the BBQ burger and were glad didn't each order a sandwich because this burger was plenty for two old ladies. We also ordered the tots and took some home. Very nice portions. Will def be back!

    Soooo...Brooks Burgers in Pismo Beach is apparently now their only venue (the location on Tank Farm…read moreroad in SLO changed a while back to "Petras"). We were sorry to see that location close down and extend our sympathies to Dallas (Owner) at having to close that location down (good help is so hard to find). Regardless, it won't keep us away from Brooks...cause the food is still "bangin". Yesterday's order was to go...we always ate "in" at the SLO location (just a "nicer ambiance") but always "take out" from Pismo (not thrilled with the fact that there is an added "take out fee" for this on your bill). Jaxon was our Order/Cashier associate on this occasion. He was personable in service and knowledgeable with regard to menu offerings. The restaurant wasn't as busy as I expected at 7PM but it took "a bit" to get the order out. Nevertheless..it was "on the money accurate" (exactly what we ordered/wanted) and that in my opinion...is worth waiting for. Our order : 2X Black and Blue Salads (4/5...yummy) and a Crispy Chicken Combo with Tater Tots (5/5...delicious). I had a "Combo Coupon" ($10 Combo instead of regular price), but still the bill was basically $43 dollars. Somewhat of a "value factor" because with a salad each, we were able to share the Crispy Chicken and were completely satisfied with our meal. Dallas (Owner) was already gone for the day, so we missed saying "hi". In this Yelper's opinion...on this "take-out" occasion because the food is still really "bussin", Brooks Burgers in Pismo Beach truly earned this 4 Star review.

It's a casual…read morecounter-service setup, you order first, grab a table, and they bring the food out when they call your name. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. Since the weather was gorgeous and we had our dog with us, we chose to sit outside. Street parking can be a bit tight due to beachgoers and nearby shops. Their menu covers breakfast, burgers, tacos, fish & chips, salads, soups, and hot or cold sandwiches, plus beer and cocktails. We ordered the 'Cuban Sandwich' (hot pulled pork, ham, provolone, mustard, mayo, and pickles on a perfectly toasted, soft French roll) and the 'Turkey Sandwich' (cold). Both came with curly fries and were fresh and yummy. Personally, I prefer chips over fries with a cold sandwich, but the food was still excellent. Customer service was top-notch. Shout out to Gabriel for being welcoming and friendly. We had a great lunch and will definitely be back to try more.

He had tried it before, so this was my first time here. As I looked over the menu everything sounded good and pics of the food helped me make my final choice for lunch. The service was excellent, the cashier was friendly and patient with us ordering (since it was my first time here). We decided to sit in the patio area since it was nice day, even though there was a little bit of construction noise next door, it didn't take away from hearing the great music selection. Moments later a server brought out the food, everything smelled and looked delicious. He ordered fish N' chips w/upgraded garlic fries, (we love garlic fries!) some of the best garlic fries we've had, every bite was garlicky & dipped in ranch...mmmmm perfect combo. The fish was tender but crispy bites from the batter. I ordered the Pismo wrap (could be shared), I was not expecting it to be so packed with all the fillings. It was stuffed with sliced tri-tip, curly fries, avocado, pepper jack cheese, and bbq sauce. Every bite was so satisfying, flavorful and had a little bit of everything. Some saltiness from the fries to sweetness from the bbq sauce, well balanced (I did add some cholula sauce because I enjoy some spiciness). Definitely added as a stop when doing a day trip to Pismo. I'll be recommending friends/family to make a stop at Hoagies if they're ever in the area and they're looking for a chomp because a bite isn't enough. So after all the shopping/walking, pick up some Hoagies and head to the beach (which is walking distance), because great food deserves a great view!

I honestly wasn't sure I'd like the sauce, but I ended up really loving it. They offer white rice for an extra $3, but I skipped it and didn't feel like I needed it. Both of my kids ordered the kids' cheeseburgers and really enjoyed them. I'd seen some negative reviews about the service, but that wasn't our experience at all. Our waiter was attentive, the food came out promptly, and the service was excellent. The atmosphere is really fun, with an old-school '50s diner feel, surfboards and beach decor throughout, plus big-screen TVs if you want to watch sports. It was also entertaining watching other guests attempt the huge stacked-burger challenge. One guy finished it surprisingly fast! They also have milkshakes with different flavors you can mix together. Definitely not for anyone dieting, but they sounded delicious. If you're in the Pismo Beach area, I highly recommend Cool Cat Cafe. Great food, great service, and a fun atmosphere for the whole family.

I dipped the sandwich in the au jus ànd it remained tasteless....the au jus too was devoid of flavor ànd taste and seasoning. I brought my concern to the waitress/manager and she brought my displeasure to the cook. I asked what he said...she then informed me that the smoker was out of order. I asked then why serve such a desultory dish. She took a few bucks off the tab...actually that was an insult. They are running on their reputation and obviously don't need my business. Let me leave one positive note...the French fries are exceptional.
