while the views are great the food is absolutely a letdown, especially for the cost. We got a $15 pina colada served to us in a plastic cup with a straw, a frozen pizza from a grocery aisle for $20 and a $16 tacos which tasted like cardboard. I won't recommend you dine here, just head to the downtown which is a 5 mins walk, grab a togo and sit on the beach to enjoy a much better and tastier meal read more

'The Deck' is a bistro located inside 'Sandcastle Hotel' on the beach. There's a counter to place your order, plenty of seating inside, and an amazing beachfront patio with fire pit. They serve quick bites such as 'Breakfast Bagels, Croissants, Burritos, Paninis, Hummus, Street Tacos, Flatbread, Chips n' Salsa, and more'. Their beverage menu consists of Starbucks drinks like Coffee, Espresso, Acais...also Beer, Cocktails, and Wine. Service was great. Shout out to 'Ricky' who was friendly and extremely attentive at the ordering counter. I ordered a coffee and he made sure it was freshly brewed. Overall, we had a good experience at The Deck. read more

Date: Sunday, July 23rd, 2023 Time: around 5:45pm Party of: 3 - turned into 4 later What: Pre Dinner Drinks The hubby and I were staying at the Sandcastle Hotel. Figured we may as well check out the bar. Plus, he knows I like firepits. Luckily, we were able to grab the seats in front of the outdoor fireplace. I can't recall the beverages we had, but I'm pretty sure the hubs got a pour of some kind of whisky / scotch. I probably tried a cocktail and maybe did the same thing as him afterwards. Or even had a glass of bubbles. My girlfriend ended up grabbing a tea since we had been out all day drinking at wineries. Cute place to grab a drink or two and chill by the fire while enjoying a view of the beach. REVIEW #3436 read more

I loved The Deck at the Sand Castle overlooking the beach while watching surfers. The food and lattes were delicious and the personal service and friendliness of Ricky and Amber was outstanding. Fidel can really cook well and I loved his avocado toast. We'll be back! read more

Stopped by for the fire pits! Both the interior and exterior are decorated nicely and are clean. We ended up getting a panini... which was essentially just a toasted sandwich. Taste was good but definitely not worth the $14. Portion was tiny. Worker had an airpod in but was super attentive. Seats were a bit wet but it was so early in the morning that it was understandable. At least the view was nice! read more

Do not waste your time or money. Overpriced, nothing fresh, out of product but told after you purchase and always closes early.

The deck had the perfect patio sitting with front row beach views...but where it came up short was the food. I was under the impression that their waffle would be freshly made, but when it was delivered to me it was in a to go box and it tasted cold. Almost as if they under microwaved the frozen waffle... read more

Price says $5 for a hot chocolate. Rings up as $5.50 plus tax so $5.95. Asked the guy why it was $5.95. He said, "Tax". Tried to explain again the tax was only $0.45 so it should be $5.45. "Tax", he said again. "Yeah" I said, "but the board said the hot chocolate costs $5.00 not $5.50." Again..."tax". Nice guy but clueless and the place charges more than they advertise. Not returning. read more

Stopped in for the nice view. The food was good. Nice atmosphere. I'll be back again one day! read more

We stayed at the Sandcastle Hotel and went to The Deck for dinner. The view is 5 stars. The cocktails are sugary and not super strong but i think they are meant to be fun drinks to be enjoyed looking at the waves by the water and not artisanal cocktails. We tried the tomato hummus- it was pretty delicious. The Caprese Flatbread was my favorite. The red velvet cake slice and the chips and salsa were okay as well. For being on the beach with a fire pit, the menu is pretty well priced. Gorgeous sunset from the table! read more

What can I say. You just can't beat the views. I stop by the deck on my last visit to Pismo Beach and it was a wonderful experience it was a nice place to just hang out enjoy a nice cuppa coffee and enjoy a beautiful sunset over Pismo Beach. The area was very well-kept furniture was clean I didn't notice any trash and the staff was very welcoming. read more

The food was unseasoned and lacking of flavor. Good service not much to do. The food was hot though.

Disappointed At first I was excited to see they had Starbucks coffee but artificial creamer was disgusting. Food options were limited and expensive. You had to order online. Bacon was cold, looked precooked. Burrito was lukewarm. read more

Excellent food but they were out of two items we ordered but they didn't know it Service was good and the seating outstanding for the view of beach read more

I just came by for a beer. Rating is based on my overall experience from being there and how I felt when leaving. This place is right next to the beach and part of the Sandcastle Hotel. For a place so close to the beach, pricing was very fair ($7 for a pint). Beautiful beachfront bar with fire pits and comfortable seating Unsure if they have umbrellas if it gets too sunny hot. Staff was super friendly and very welcoming. read more

Came in for breakfast. We had the avacado toast, $11. It was 4 teeny tiny slices of warmed up baguette. Instead of avacado, there was a very thin spread of what appeared to be trader Joe guacamole. It was so thin I could barely taste it. I am a very light eater and was left starving. My husband had the egg skillet with bacon. Didn't come with toast or hasbrowns, $16. It was just the scrambled eggs and bacon. We ate an hour ago and have to go get lunch now. read more

Not a restaurant but very nice place to sit for drinks and some simple food. But I would not recommend staying at their hotel the sandcastle. You can stay at a different hotel and the deck is open to the public read more

Very simple menu, prices are $12 or less, service is excellent. The ladies are very freindly. The tables and floor are very clean. I saw the ladies use gloves preparing the food. The view is gorgeous from the deck. Really nice deck furniture. I really love how everything is sanitary and clean.The rug is vacuumed and floor is very well mopped. This is a kid freindly place to eat too. I appreciate the kids toys and and games on the table.My son enjoyed the jenga and checkers which matched the color scheme of the dining and deck area. This is a family oriented spot with a modern classy feel and a reasonable price menu. Thanks for the experience! read more

I like this place !! Great crowd and cool staff. The views are stellar. The drinks are delicious. B

Overpriced and terrible food. Regretted patronizing them as soon as I saw the manager cavalierly toss an aluminum can in the trash. Any place that does not recycle and work to reduce waste in 2023 is an abomination. Maybe they could just take out the middleman and dump garbage right in the ocean? read more

Convenient since we stayed at the Sandcastle Hotel. Good food, great service. The bagel breakfast sandwiches are good

Back a year later...still nothing but regular milk. Why??? Many people can not tolerate dairy. I'm very unhappy this is what I got (bf got it for me while I stayed in the hotel room), told the machine already has only regular milk in it. If that's the case, carry soy separately to put in with the espresso that comes out of this deficient machine. I wasn't crazy about this hotel and now I'm fuming mad. Throwing this stupid 2% latte out. read more

We came here tonight for the restaurant month special for $25 including a glass of wine, cheese and charcuterie and a dessert. Upon arrival, a post-it note at the cashier informed us that the server will return at 6:30. Around 6:40, the friendly server finally appeared to take our order. Unfortunately, they were out of the restaurant month special, although it was widely advertised and we got here on a non-busy Wednesday night. We decided for flatbreads and a glass of wine instead, they had a Paso Robles Eberle Pinot on tap, as well as a Cabernet from Ink Works. Not the best selection, but decent wines. The goat cheese and croque monsieur flatbreads for $14 each were very good with plenty of topping. The outdoor seating is gorgeous and definitely worth the trip, I just hope they iron out the "just opened" issues and make sure they have advertised items in stock. Also, I recommend blankets for the outdoor area! I'll be back when it's warmer and definitely give them another try, today however we felt the growing pains. read more

Food is good, they were out of a lot of the ingredients which was frustrating, you'd think with a prime location they'd be on it. A lot of the fire pits didn't work, the drinks suck. Unless you're getting wine or beer. read more

I ordered the breakfast burrito. It looked like it just got taken out of a freezer wrapper and thrown in an oven. It was still a little cold. The cold brew coffee has a little bit of sulfur taste. They obviously use tap water to make their cold brew, because if you shower there you can smell the water and the coffee tastes like it.. giving it two stars, because the staff and location are nice. But don't waste your time or money on the burrito or coffee Go somewhere else for that. read more

Look, this deck is here for the views. It's not a fancy restaurant with servers. It's a laid back spot. Fire pits and a view. Order the food inside. Little appetizers and booze. Check it out during sunset. read more

The view is amazing. This is a great place to sit and enjoy the sunset. We came for breakfast and found it to be mediocre. The breakfast "skillet", isn't a skillet. It's a scramble. It is a bit stingey and comes with no toast or any other side. I think the price is reasonable, particularly given the great location. An option for a full breakfast would be nice. Also, can we PLEASE get back to serving food on an actual plate? read more

As a policy, I don't write bad reviews. I would much rather uplift business that are doing a great job and stay silent on the ones that aren't. Having said that, I would be remiss if I didn't warn you to never eat at The Deck unless you find yourself dying from starvation and unable to take another step on the Pismo Beach strand (and even in that instance, death could potentially be preferable). The food is what one could expect from a vending machine on an off-day at a criminally high price point. The coffee was offensively bad. On a positive note, the ambiance is nice, so if you wanna just grab a drink and have a seat, you might have a good time, but whatever you do, for the love of god, don't order any food. read more

Payed $13 dollars ($10 plus $3 for ham) for a breakfast scramble and received the tiniest 5x5 inch container portion I have ever seen in my life. Felt pretty ripped off. I would not recommend this place for breakfast. read more

I'm leaving a 1 star review because it doesn't deserve the 4 stars it has now. Ordered a "breakfast skillet" looked like something from the frozen and microwaved. Honestly. Don't come for the food, just the view. read more

Toe food, service and ambiance are all great. One of our favorite places to go. Beautiful ocean view.

Stayed the night here at Sandcastle Hotel and decided to order some food at the Deck and sit out at the patio to catch some sun before heading out to dinner. Ordered the blackberry mule and margarita. Drinks were ok, tasted more like juice than a cocktail for our liking. We ordered the nachos without the meat to be vegetarian friendly and the sun dried tomato hummus. I think they forgot the sun dried tomatoes and the pita was a bit crispy for our liking. Nachos were ok too. Nothing stood out about the food or drinks but the view was a killer!! Maybe because of covid, I'm not sure but they also didn't have any plates for us to share the food, so we just ripped the lids off of the Togo containers the food was served in and used that as our plates. read more

Popped in for my first latte since March. Not crowded and outside tables are distanced by some tables not being available. Server was not wearing a mask. Felt reasonably safe. I was wearing a mask.

If all you want is a nice sunset view with a drink, this is the place! If you're hungry, this is not the place to go. BUT The view was phenomenal!!! The wine was okay and the server was wonderful but the kitchen was closed during dinner. Not sure why, but I'm glad I didn't come hungry. read more

In a word....BAM! The little snack bar and the free coffee and cookies are gone Replaced by a first class and delicious grab and go restaraunt with a Rock Star Breakfast Burrito!
