    Great food menu options
    Melissa F.

    Yeah you can come in for adult beverages, just make sure you stop and try the yummy Mediterranean dishes served inside as well! What a surprise and it's good too. My go to for one the best Gyro in five cities area. They have combo plates, gyros chicken falafel house made hummus. Don't forget dessert too

    Tons of wine

    A year ago I would have given these guys 5 stars. Over the last year there was a change in ownership and there seems to be a bit of disconnect with the locals, customer service is lacking and the once GREAT meals (burgers, breakfast sandwiches and burritos) are now just mediocre. On more than once occasions they have double charged our credit card and refused a refund suggesting we contest with the cc company. Employees are not as friendly as the last owners and there is a new cook . We used to pick up breakfast burritos and sandwiches WEEKLY. They do have a ginormous selection of liquor, beer, wine and spirits. You can pretty much purchase anything alcoholic that your little heart desires. They also have a nice selection of cigars, snacks and a few staples. Ohh and there is an ATM inside. I would consider their prices on the higher end but that is to be expected in touristy town. I go in a couple of times a month to pick up our local Tally Farms produce boxes DSS so I have given up on them yet.

    Gyro and Fries

    Super yummy. Never Busy! Definitely a hidden Gem, great food and plenty of options. Gyro was super yummy, and the fries were amazing and well seasoned!

    Rode bikes from Pismo Beach to Shell today after surfing and the deli inside really hooked it up. We came with eight people and all ordered different items. The food was fresh and fast. Gyros are great and the fries were well seasoned. You can even buy a beer and sit outside and enjoy your food and the beach breeze.

    That is half a sandwich

    Wow what an impressive sandwich at an impressive price. It was so huge I couldn't get my mouth around it Kama and one sandwich was big enough to split for the 2 Of us. Wow all I can say is I gotta come back to this place when I'm in the town and I will. Simply put clean place nice people and good prices, combined with a good product, and I bet you got a lot of happy customers, I know I'm one

    Shell Beach Burger
    A J.

    Hidden gem alert! I'm really looking forward to visiting here again and trying more of the menu. The owner was a gem, cooking my fresh patty beef to medium. I choose the Shell Beach Burger with sautéed jalapeños, and cheese. The homemade garlic sauce on the fresh cut fries was so damn good! He even made a beef patty for my little dog. 10/10 would visit again.

    Falafel made to order from scratch !

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.

Bought one of the triple berry pies and apple crisps to try and they were delicious! The filling for the berry pie was really good slightly tart and sweet. If you like pie crust, the crust was well done too- flaky and crisp. The apple crisp was soooo good- the topping was really tasty and the filling was delicious. I'd go back to try their other pies and hand pies. Feeding the sheep, cow, goats and llamas $3 a head lettuce was so fun! The animals loooove eating the lettuce and it's an enjoyable experience for kids and adults alike. The fields with bales of hay to climb and pose on and also the flower fields to walk around in was also nice too! There was a hay ride, but we were not able to make it-- maybe next time. The food was just mediocre. The pulled pork sandwich had too much sauce on it and it was hard to eat because the bread just fell apart. I wish there were a little more coleslaw on top because it cut the sweetness of the sauce. Would not order again. The tritip sandwich was just okay- lots of thinly sliced meat, but flavor was just alright. Would not order again. The plain hotdog was actually pretty good- it was a big hotdog. Would probably order again for my kid haha. The highlight of the meal was the Brussels sprouts (no pecans and subbed Parmesan for the bleu cheese)! Nicely roasted and seasoned. Definitely would order again! The strawberry lemonade and the oallaberry lemonade were really good- not too sweet and very fruity. Definitely would order again Would definitely come back to spend a couple of hours here!

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.
