    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

    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 !

    The bf and I made a day trip to Pismo for my bday, we planned to try a new place to eat. There's a…read morelot of options by Pismo pier to choose from, but Hoagies stood out to me. 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 decided to give Hoagie's a try -- I usually go elsewhere for my cod wrap when in the area. I…read morerequested the cabbage and tomato instead of curly French fries inside the wrap -- and fries came on the side, anyway. The counterperson taking my order kept saying lettuce, and I repeated a few times, you mean cabbage, since that's what is written on the menu, and they seemed a bit confused.. But it did come with lettuce, not cabbage (?). Hmm. The fish was okay, but not fried to enough of a crisp, so it was not crunchy. It was also a relatively small amount of cod in the the burrito wrap. I say burrito wrap as the tortilla was pretty thick and barely toasted. I did see other patrons sitting at the tables with much toastier-looking wraps, and it looked like the steak wrap came in a wheat tortilla. So is there more than one kind of tortilla? The tartar sauce was middle of the road and there was not enough of it in the wrap for my tastes - I like sauce. But I could not get more for the side, as the line was out the door by the time I discovered I could use more tartar sauce! So while it was fine, and the fish seemed fresh, I was somewhat disappointed, and did not munch this wrap with the zeal that I do the one from the other locale in town where I typically buy the killer cod wrap. The curly fries were good and well salted. Lots of people sitting outside; tables could've been cleaned better. Maybe staff should come out and wipe them down periodically.

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.
