Nice water front location, with large window seating if it's too wet or cold outside. Picked this place after 3 picky eaters who didn't want anything to do with seafood rejected everything else on restaurant row in this beach town. I am glad we did. Seems to be part of an inn - but we never went deeper into checking that out. Staff is really friendly and takes good care of you. Also recommended some cool places to check out in the neighborhood. I got the local oysters - and they let you order by the piece, which helps when I am the only one eating them. They were really fresh and plump. Kids got the Alfredo, which clearly hit the spot for them. Plates were wiped clean when we were leaving - so they were either really hungry or it was good. Hit the fish tacos that were good. Not the best I have had - but the fish was really fresh. read more

We arrived on a Thursday night, and they offered a table overlooking the ocean. The staff was very very nice, and provided some painting crayon and toys for my son. The food was delicious. Both my clam chowder and my wife's shrimp scampi were good, and we were happy with our food The place was fairly busy, and still the service was good. The reason I am giving them four stars, is everything was good, not perfect. Anyways, recommend this place without a question. read more

Roses is a place our family likes to come to every time we are in Morro Bay. Beautiful view of Morro Rock and the bay/ocean. I ordered the Ahi fish tacos with garlic fries. The fish was cooked perfectly, not dry at all. I loved the cabbage and other vegetables to brighten the flavors. The sauce was delicious and the garlic fries were not over powering. Our wait staff was very attentive with lots of recommendations. We appreciate the service, food, and atmosphere.! read more

Great bayside restaurant, very clean and interesting sea related decor. Our server was right on our drinks and food order. My wife ordered fish and chips which were light and fresh. I had a bacon cheeseburger which was fresh and tasty. Hot French fries topped everything off. Great drinks too.... read more

10/10 highly recommend! Best fried fish, pawns, & chip in Morrow Bay! Been coming to Morrow bay for 30 years and just barely tried this place after seeing a tik tok review. Customer service also is a 10/10! Food is very fresh ( not fishy), crispy, & beyond tasty! Must try! read more

The location is amazing, unfortunately the food wasn't. The oyster was decent, but I was disappointed with the Fish and Chips; the food was almost room temperature when they brought it out (and when you order fish and chips, you expect it to be piping hot), so that was a bit of a letdown. The service was really good though. read more

We came for a drink and a little snack just to kill some time. It was open seating when we arrived which was nice. As we had our little fur ball was with us so the patio was perfect. They did have heat lamps overhead but I don't think our section was turned on. I did mentioned it to one of the gentleman to see if they could turn it on but he never came back. Sophia was our waitress. Very sweet and friendly. As we were only here for drinks and a little snack, it was a quick browse through the menu. She did mention that it was happy hour and they had some items that were great. Both the Bloody Mary and margaritas were quite nice. It wasn't the happy hour menu but it was still nice. Onion rings were great, perfectly battered and cooked well. Nice crunch to it. Also that was from the regular menu. We did get an order of fries and calamari from the happy hour menu. Fries, it's was good. Calamari was nice, lightly battered and served with a sweet chili sauce and something else. Both sauces were good. Service was nice as Sophia was very friendly. All The other waitress was sweet as well out at the patio section. It's also a perfect spot for people with their dogs. Everything was nice, drinks with a view, nice bite. And to finished the meal off, a freakin seagull little left us a a surprise. Good thing it hit the chair armrests instead. Plus, on Tuesday they do all you can eat crab legs. May need to give that a try sometimes. read more

Ate late lunch/early dinner here. Food was really good. My coconut shrimp was so delicious. Best I ever had. My mom said the same about her fish and chips. We also got drinks and the bartender was on point with them. I recommend giving this place a try. And the view is also great. read more

We got here about 8 pm and it was kinda empty on the side we sat on. There was large party on the other side of the wall that was pretty loud. The floor had some napkins and straw papers under one of the tables not being used. We were seated ourselves as the sign stated and were quickly greeted with menus and our drink order taken. Then our server brought our drinks and took our order. I ordered the halibut with fresh vegetables and mashed potatoes. Mark got fish and chips with a bowl of clam chowder. My food was delicious. Mark was disappointed. He the clam chowder was tasteless and had more fillers the clams. He say "his fish wasn't greasy". But everything else was so-so. Would I eat here again yeah. Would I go out of my way. Probably not. But other folks must love them because this place is jumping now. read more

Stayed nearby on a road trip. It's what I expected. That's to say, it's a sports bar on a harbor in a pretty coastal town. It's not a gourmet restaurant specializing in locally sourced seafood. We got the calamari and chips, and the hot crab sandwich with garlic fries. It hit the spot. Server had a good recommendation on the beer, and he clearly knew the differences between the IPAs. I'd say this probably deserves to be 4-4.5 stars, it's definitely better than its current average rating. Giving it 5 stars to bring it up. I enjoyed it, and would recommend given you want bar food at a sports bar. read more

Rose's Bar and Grill - Hot crab sandwich. Not artisan sourdough, but light, fresh and tasty! - Seafood Near Me - Morro Bay, California

I stopped in at 8pm on a weekday, because it was one of the only places open. I ordered the shrimp and chips. The prawns were decadent and juicy (like 10/10, highly recommend!), and the French fries were pretty standard. Service was okay, it was busy though. The view is absolutely gorg! I will be adding it to my list of favorite Morro Bay restaurants. read more

*Visited on Weds 12/25/2024 with a group of 7 at noon Visited Rose's Bar and Grill as I had a few surprise guests visiting from out of town Christmas morning. I loved the fact that this restaurant was right on the waterfront and had a great view of the Rock and the bay- despite being seated in the corner, we were still able to catch a few nice views :) Our waiter was kind and quick to help us despite it being slightly busy - it was Christmas Day! Okay the food: * Cali Chicken Sandwich - not bad at all, a little on the pricier side but not bad at all. I wish the sweet potato fries were slightly crispier but that's probably on me since I didn't ask them to make them extra crispy. * Hot Crab Sandwich- pretty tasty! again, on the pricier side but considering that we're on the Embarcadero, it's no surprise. read more

Everything about Rose's is outstanding! Their fish tacos are amazing and so is their fish n chips and small salads are excellent!

Just ate at Rose's Landing Bar & Grill, and I have to say the fish & chips, delicious. The regular and garlic fries came out hot and the taste, " to die for!" The service was spot on! We will return later in the week. Don't pass this restaurant up. read more

Came over to Morro Bay for the day and gave always enjoyed going to Roses Bar and Grill. Whether you're sitting inside or outside the view is amazing. The service is always prompt and the the servers very friendly. I had the chicken Alfredo and my friend had the hot crab sandwich, both were delicious! Our server Olivia was very attentive and an absolute pleasure! read more

Rose's Bar and Grill - Great service but portion is false advertisement and very small. Spent more than I would on a hamburger - Seafood Near Me - Morro Bay, California

The only thing that was enjoyable was the server. The food was pretty disappointing. We got chips guac and salsa to start with.. the salsa tasted like they added tomato sauce to it, the aftertaste was like tomato soup. I got the taco trio, chicken and beef, the meat was completely bland, they added slices of red jalapenos with seeds in them on the top of each taco, they were pretty much inedible. The beans and rice were a bummer as well, the rice was hard, they added a dollop of the tomato sauce based salsa on top which made it even worse. The rice had bits of corn and some kind of other type of flat green kind of bean which was unrecognizable and strange. The fact that I paid over $23 for the tacos alone was the worse part of the whole experience. Totally bummed. Won't be back. Whomever is cooking in the kitchen should take some culinary classes, or at least try to enjoy what they do and put some love into the food or at least some seasoning. Perhaps they are good at deep frying food and serving alcohol, but that's about it. read more

WOW! If i could eat this everyday, i totally would. The lobster and shrimp tacos were TO DIE FOR! Don't eat it during a first date because it will get messy lol. The restaurant had the best views! And the waitress was super kind and helpful (thanks for suggesting the tacos!) if im ever anywhere near the area in the future, i will most definitely have to come back :)! read more

Wow, my cocktail drink ("Yes, on the Beach") was great but strong! I got the Steamers (clams) which came with garlic bread, and that was really delicious and flavorful. I also got the garlic French fries which were decent. Service was decent as well. We had dinner, so it was already dark and therefore no view of the water and Morro Rock. It would be nicer during the day. Overall, good spot for seafood and cocktails. read more

Rose's Bar and Grill - Combo platter and fresh crab melt (delicious!) - Seafood Near Me - Morro Bay, California

Great views, tasty food and so so service. Shared a combo seafood plate and oysters and we enjoyed it all. Oysters were tasty, so fresh and accompanied by a garlicky/spicy cocktail sauce. Seafood platter, although all fried food, was pretty yummy. For service, it was a bit slow, and I probably would have had another glass of wine if asked. Nice spot, and I recommend! read more

Rose's Bar and Grill - 1/2 order of oysters - Seafood Near Me - Morro Bay, California

I absolutely love roses. Their garlic fries are amazing and we always go and sit on the patio for happy hour. I can't wait to go back.

Got a $20 voucher from the hotel, so obviously wanted to check this place out. Cali Chicken Sandwich was amazing, but service was abysmal. This place took the longest out of any restaurant during my week long trip to get my food out and to even order. To be fair, they were pretty busy around lunch, but it was bad enough to be notable vs the other lunch places I went to. Worst part is the prices though. I literally only ordered the sandwich and still had to pay extra. Not enough food to justify the cost. read more

Went to Rose's on a Monday afternoon for lunch with the family. We were given an option of inside or out on the patio. We chose the patio, with an exquisite view of the bay and Morro Rock. Our server was attentive, accommodating, and our food was brought out in a timely manner. We ordered chips & guacamole, they were great! I thoroughly enjoyed the fish tacos, minus the fish. I asked if they would be able to do veggies...totally gourmet tasting, and beautifully presented as well! It had perfectly tender carrots, squash, peppers, and pickled onions and garnish on top. Other meals ordered were buttered noodles and cheeseburger- both from the kid's menu. Also ordered at our table was an order of Fish and Chips, with their famous garlic fries. I have come to Rose's for years, and through remodels, updated menus, patio upgrades...I am still super content, thoroughly impressed, and super satisfied. Everyone at our table loved their meals and had left overs to take home. Pretty much every single seat, either at a table or the bar, has an insanely awesome view. Love, love, love Rose's. Will I return you ask...as soon as I can! read more

The best part of our stay was the hostess, Marissa! Marissa was friendly and made us return for a second evening! We come down annually from Boise and if it wasn't for Marissa, we would have had more to be disappointed with. Prior to moving to Boise, we lived in SoCal, we have many memories of Morro Bay. Have to say, Marissa saved the day! Thanks Mariss! read more

Rose's Bar and Grill - Front view of Rose's from our hotel room - Seafood Near Me - Morro Bay, California

Rose's has really changed and this time, it was underwhelming. We always order the same thing: a calamari appetizer and the lobster and shrimp tacos. The calamari is now rings rather than strips. It was overcooked and under seasoned. The calamari sauces were both still good. The tacos were under filled compared to past visits. The sauce was also different. It was very heavy on the capers and wasn't as flavorful as we remember. We added a side of rice and beans this time and weren't impressed. The rice was bland and had more capers in it. The black beans were okay. We did like the heat of the salsa that came on it. It had a good kick. My husband and I have gone here for years and this will probably be the last time. read more

A great place to have a fish dish! Wait staff was so friendly and the ambiance is what's expected for casual dining by the sea. Food was terrific and reasonably priced.

The price was right and we will be back when in the are. read more

We'd read about the beautiful ocean views and went here for dinner. The staff was attentive and friendly, the restaurant was very busy, and the pace for service throughout our meal was slower than a glacier.... Tip: The high point of this restaurant is the ocean view, but in retrospect there's not really a whole lot else to recommend it :-( For dinner I went with their "famous" fish and chips. The fries were nicely cooked and tasty, but the breading for the fish was soggy and the fish within was bland and limp - I couldn't finish it. The batter was tasteless, and in serious need of additional seasoning. If you just want to go somewhere to sit and have a cocktail while looking out over the ocean, this place is OK, but I can't recommend either the food or the service. read more

I'm a solo traveler. Rose's has become "My Place". It's the first place I visit when I'm in town. Everyone is friendly and wants to make my visit pleasant. While enjoying a cocktail at the bar and watching the sunset, a lady patron asked what brought me to town. I told her I was celebrating my 74th trip around the sun. The next thing I knew EVERYONE was singing Happy Birthday to me! What a jolly group! Every meal I have eaten here has been enjoyable. read more

Stopped by for drinks and an appetizer as we walked down the Embarcadero. I ordered Tito's soda with lime and they asked if I wanted a small or a tall... I said tall, of course. It came in a pint glass and was perfect, if you can handle such a thing. We sat on the patio around 3pm and view of the bay was nice. We ordered the nachos, which came with shredded cheese(YAY!) but it all tasted not so authentic... I feel like that shouldn't be hard to do but nachos get messed up a lot. Now, we ate them all bc we were day drinking and we wanted to live but we agreed later that they were probably a 7/10. The server was friendly and very attentive but we probably would only return for drinks. read more

A lovely friendly place and we shall return. We came for Tuesday all you can eat crab. While good, it was not great. It didn't taste like fresh crab but like Costco frozen crab quarters. Still better than no crab. Next time I will ask before ordering. Fresh or frozen. So many crab boats coming in now it should be fresh. Still I will be back read more

Really upsetting, came for all you can eat crab today because they do it every Tuesday. Got sat & waited for over 30 mins then when we asked for a server they said sorry she will be out soon, the girl said sorry I'm just a busser I can't do anything to help you. Then when we said we were leaving the little blonde server who was supposed to be serving us said "oh well". Really disappointed. read more

Sad to say Rose's has gone downhill over time....service is friendly but not as crisp as it used to be. The lobster and shrimp tacos have maybe 3-4pc total instead of 4-5 pc of each. The lettuce in the salad is wilted, and everything just seems not super fresh. This saddens me because this used to be my favorite waterfront spot. Probably will only go for drinks and the view going forward. read more

We went to our usual spot but their outdoor seating was closed so we tried Rosa's because we had our dog with us and they were also dog friendly. Service was excellent. Food was great. Nice view. Just an overall great experience. I had the sampler platter and a cup of chowder. All the seafood was fresh. Clam chowder was excellent. Bacon bits and big pieces of potato in the chowder was new for me and I liked it. Wife had the chowder bread bowl. It was over flowing set inside a big bowl. Soo much food we couldn't finish it. We washed it down with a couple cali squeeze beers. read more
