Came back for a 2nd time after have an issue with food. But the GM David reached out to get…read moreinformation as to what happened and explained how they take pride in their food and service. And asked that we come back and try again. He comp't our lunch which was very nice. The food came out very hot and looked delicious. The salad was extremely fresh and crisp, fish tacos were very good also that was a new try for us. But the star of lunch, was the Cowboy Burger, cooked to a perfect pink with plenty of juice coming out when we cut it to share. Very hot and flavorful juice running down hands yet very very delicious. This was totally opposite of our first experience but know we can forget about that as they understood and eagerly addressed the problem. We are definitely coming back to eat here again. My previous review will be deleted as the issue was throughly addressed. I would highly recommend others to come here and have some great food. Once again we like to Thank David (GM) and the entire staff as they really did a great job.

At the end of the street just before your toes hit the sand, there's a place called Wooly's!…read moreWe were craving fish and chips, and from what we saw other people eating, looked pretty good. Place your order at the counter and they will give you a pager to let you know when your food will be ready at the pick up window. We grabbed two cold beers at the bar and took them to a table outside while we waited for our food. The patio deck is big with plenty of tables looking out towards the beach and ocean. I got the fish and chips while my wife got the calamari strips and chips. They were both perfectly cooked and crispy, as fish and chips should be! This is the perfect spot to end your day at the beach!

We moved to the area last summer and was referred to go here. I discovered that the food was really…read morefresh and had the most amazing burger called the Elvis Lives Burger. This summer they changed the menu quie a bit and also we have noticed the quality has gone down. My daughters chicken nuggets went from made fresh to frozen. Burgers went from a full size burger to barely over a slider. Fries are still really good along with cocktails. Bees knees and Jalisco Summer are the favorites for cocktails. Customer service is always pretty straight forward with young kids serving. No issues ever. Great casual dining setup but also good place to watch game. Bar is always busy when we go. We are little bummed as this was our go to spot and now its going to force us to look at other options but we will return as the Cubano still shows promise and the fries with ranch are amazing.

Is checked at the door, and you are given a wristband. So, no minors/kids allowed. (Nice!) Harry's has a well stocked bar and a decent variety of beer on tap as well as cold bottles. Classic rock music was being played throughout the bar as we had a quick game of pool. The place started filling up with people after we'd been there for about half an hour. Apparently Karaoke night is a big thing here for the locals, because people were stepping up to the mic and killing it!They don't serve any kind of food here, but they do allow you to bring your own food in. (There are several hole in the wall type restaurants just a few steps away from Harry's to choose from, if you like) Recommend you hit Harry's up if you're passing through or staying in town for the weekend!

An Unforgettable Birthday Dinner with Breathtaking Ocean Views!…read more We came to Ventana Grill in Pismo Beach for a Sunday night dinner date to celebrate my wife's birthday. This place definitely gets packed, so I highly recommend reserving a table in advance. We were lucky enough to get a window seat, and the outdoor patio views of the ocean are simply amazing! On top of that, the staff here has definitely become even more friendly--our server, Zach, was super efficient and attentive throughout our meal. The food was incredible from start to finish: * Mahi Mahi Fish Ceviche: We started with this alongside fresh tortilla chips, and it was honestly one of the best ceviches we've ever had. * Clam Chowder Soup: This special clam chowder came served with Parmesan cheese bread, which was absolute perfection. Again, hands down one of the best soups we've tasted! * Molcajete Surtido: For our main dish, we ordered this classic feast loaded with grilled colossal shrimp, arrachera steak, chicken breast, chorizo, spring onion, jalapeño peppers, nopalitos, avocado, pork rinds, molcajete salsa, queso fresco, and corn tortillas, served with a side of rice and beans. All the meats were so tender and flavorful, and the rice and beans were really nice. We were so full that we didn't even get to touch the tortillas! To top off a wonderful evening, they brought out a complimentary ice cream with a candle to celebrate my wife's birthday, which was such a thoughtful and sweet touch. Whether you're planning a special date night or a family outing, we definitely recommend Ventana Grill!

The menu on our recent visit has been updated and now offers more Latino style offerings, with emphasis on Seafood and fine meats with Latino seasonings and styling. The posole is delicious, yellow fin tuna prepared well and was plentiful. Our server was friendly, efficient, offered suggestions and checked on us regularly. There was a wedding on the patio, which was fun to witness from our booth and plenty of activity from the ocean life we could view. Overall, a delightful experience!

Went here yesterday for my sister's birthday trip down to Pismo. Keep in mind, I'm gluten free, and…read moremy sister and my cousin are both dairy free, so we had some limited options. Ambience was nice, I enjoyed the rodeo events on the tv, I'm a barrel racer and rodeo attendee as well so that was fun to see. Waitress was very nice, I don't remember her name but she had cool tattoos and orange hair, she was bringing us refills without us having to ask, and the service was extremely quick. We were a party of 6 and our food came out in less than 10 minutes, even though the restaurant was pretty busy. I enjoyed the open windows so fresh air could flow in and out as well. As for food, I ordered the hula chicken sticks and a side of white rice. Omg. Sooooo yummy!!!! both my entree and side were piping hot and perfectly fresh. Chicken was cooked thoroughly and was very tasty alongside the pineapple. White rice was perfectly cooked as well. We will definitely come back here next time we drive up to Pismo! I also very much enjoyed seeing what was gluten free on the menu, and the gluten free substitution was amazing. I'm so glad to see representation and inclusivity like this. My sister also enjoyed the dairy free options. Overall we went home with a peace of mind. None of us got sick!

Some reviews was kinda steering me away and I was very apprehensive about this establishment. But I'm glad we were bored out of our minds and fought thru my apprehension and gave in. It was a pleasant surprise . A little bit of something for everyone. Plenty of Arcade games, plenty of billiards table and classic American fried foods. Of course the front cute gift shop and shirts. The atmosphere was energetic and enjoyable. Music and game noises, seating areas for food, and even seats throughout the pool rooms. $18 and hour fit the table, not too bad. We did enjoy our experience. The workers were nice and only intercom yelled at a costumer for sitting on the pool table. Go try it out.

As many of us take our dogs to the beach, we were on a family vacation and decided to stop here for dinner. Before walking in my whole family check for a no dog sign, we walked in and no staff members mentioned anything to us so we assumed everything was fine. (Especially considering the place isn't the cleanest and I have taken my dog into cleaner restaurants in pismo). We continued to order over $150 worth of pizza wings and beer. We were sitting down waiting for our food when a manager (didn't catch her name but she was a older lady) came up to us and said they don't allow dogs in and she looked it up online and it's a law. LOL I had no issue leaving (even though I felt like someone should have said something before we ordered our food AND PAID) but I asked for to go boxes and also asked what was going to be done about our beers we spent $20 on that were FULL. She right away said well your going to have to take turns coming in and out? I told her I just wanted the drinks refunded because she wouldn't allow us to take them and she refused to give any type refund. My boyfriend tried to speak to her to compromise and she continued to snap at him and the rest of my family. Bottom line she was extremely rude and not willing to compromise after WAITING until we spend over $150 to tell us we had to leave. Later when we went to leave her employees were laughing while we left.

Every time he eats here, it brings him right back to his childhood, which makes enjoying the pizza even more special. Great food, great service, and a little taste of nostalgia. We'll definitely be back!
