    My family and I loved visiting Pismo Beach a few weeks ago and decided to stop again on the way home to check out Wooly's for lunch! It's a little beachfront restaurant that offers a little bit of everything! They offer burgers, sandwiches, tacos, salads and plenty of seafood items like steamed clams, Shrimp Po Boy sandwich and Clam Chowder! We ordered the Philly Cheesesteak with Fries, Kids Quesadilla with Fries, Baja Fish Tacos and a side of Veggie Sticks (which were real veggies). Everything was really good - I loved my tacos. They were flavorful and fresh! Wooly's also offers great drinks as well with a giant bar inside! We really loved sitting outside on the patio - it had great views of the boardwalk and ocean! We couldn't have picked a better day to go too - the weather was beautiful! Wooly's is the type of place where you order at the counter and then they bring you your food - staff were still attentive and helpful even after we received our food. DO NOT FEED THE BIRDS! Overall, it was a good meal with good views! I would absolutely come back the next time we are visiting Pismo Beach! Check them out!

    Amazing view, great food and well managed. Even during a holiday weekend they keep the line moving so everyone has a good experience! Good drinks too!

    The vibes at this place especially during sunset are amazing. The outdoor seating is first come first serve so if it's busy you'll have to awkwardly standby waiting for people to leave. It's probably best to wait until you have a table before ordering because the food is pretty quick. The food was good, the chowder was a little cold and thick for my son's liking but my salad and a cold beer were good.

    Wooly's fish & chips was expertly prepared to be served hot and fresh. The fish is cooked to a crispy perfection and paired with our signature waffle fries.

    We go to woollies a lot we're from out of town so when I see a lot meaning about once or twice a year.. it's nice because you can take your dog and they have dog water for them. This time I got a wedge salad and it was really good. We also ordered fish tacos. Everything was good and refreshing. There's always more people eating than there is seating. So it's good to find a seat first before you go up and order. If that's a possibility.

    This is a great casual spot right on the beach in the center of Pismo Beach by the pier. My family enjoyed it so much during our stay that we went twice in 2 days! It's very casual, you order at the counter and then pickup your food when it's ready. You can order drinks at a separate counter and they have nice selection of beers on draft. We ordered a variety of items on both visits and everything was delicious. The stand outs were the Seafood Roll and the Fisherman sandwiches. Highly recommend for anyone swinging through Pismo, I would go back on my next visit.

    We were at the pier during lunch time and saw this place. Found a table easily and placed the order. They have counter service here. Fish and chips were ok. The fries were the better of the two. Onion rings were nice and crunchy. Chicken Sandwich was good. Cauliflower bites were also surprisingly good. Service was friendly. Overall a good option if you are at the pier.

    Great place to hang out with friends, the vibes are chill and the views are great. The food was pretty good definitely not the best, but for the price and the ambiance it's worth it.

    Stopped in for breakfast before walking on pier & beach. When you get there- order food on one side and drinks on other side. You get a vibrating caller and find a seat . There's a window to pick up your food. I got a breakfast burrito so did hubs and they were huge, kids got a dish to share- breakfast nachos, & granddaughter got classic cheese crisp. Great food and place to eat.

    We tried Wooly's for the first time last night and unfortunately, it will probably be our last. We usually go to Cool Cat Café or Splash Café for their clam chowder, but since we visit Pismo often, we wanted to try something new. The photos online (and even how the food looked in person) were really appealing, but the taste didn't match. The food was very bland overall. I ordered the asada fries they weren't terrible, but they weren't good either. It just felt like a mix of ingredients thrown together without much flavor or thought behind it. My husband ordered the calamari and chips, and his experience was similar very bland, and the fries were cold. My kids said their meals were just okay. My son had the fish and chips and mentioned that at least the fish tasted fresh. The atmosphere was decent. We did have to ask for our table to be cleaned, but the staff took care of it quickly once we mentioned it. Overall, I think the biggest improvement would be focusing on adding more flavor to the food.

    Highly recommended spot at Pismo Pier so we came by @5 for dinner. Counter service & find a table - we ordered the clam chowder in bread bowl which was outstanding (they even toasted the top of the bread bowl) & fish n chips w/waffle fries- delicious! Food came out quick, Portions were great & reasonable prices. Great location too! We will be back.

    Great Food, Sunset Views & Extremely Dog-Friendly! We had a fantastic experience at Wooly's in Pismo Beach. The restaurant is located right on the pier with beautiful ocean views, making it an absolutely perfect spot to enjoy a meal--especially at sunset. Wooly's has a great happy hour, and we loved that they are very dog-friendly, allowing dogs on the patio and even offering a dog menu. That alone earns big points in our book! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming--not just to us, but to our dogs as well. While our pups can get a little excited and bark occasionally when they see other dogs, the staff was kind, understanding, and genuinely happy to have them there. We always do our best to make sure they don't disturb other guests, and the team handled everything with warmth and professionalism. The food was tasty and reasonably priced. We ordered burgers, chips with salsa and guacamole, plus beer and wine--and everything hit the spot. Of course, we also ordered beef patties from the dog menu, and our dogs were absolutely in heaven. Between the delicious food, friendly service, dog-friendly atmosphere, and watching the sun set over the ocean, this was a truly enjoyable experience. Perfect location, great vibes, and a wonderful time overall. We will definitely be back!

They said they couldn't promise anything but they would try. We showed up around 6:15. And they sat us down around 6:35. We had a beautiful window seat overlooking the ocean and had a perfect view of the sunset. I forgot our server's name but he was amazing. This place sounds fancy and bougie but it's really not. The food might be, but the vibe is not. There's no dress code. Everything we ordered was soooo tasty and delicious! We ordered fish and chips, baked clams, a wedge salad, and seafood pasta. For drinks we had two mocktails that were just okay. We also got a couple of flour tortillas with some cinnamon butter and a salsa trio. Our server suggested we spread butter inside the tortilla and drizzle our favorite salsa inside. So good. After dinner we decided to walk around the restaurant and appreciate the views. I'm so glad we came here. We will definitely come back next time we come to Pismo Beach

Great portions and everything tasted amazing. Plenty of items to choose from and they also have beer available. Indoor and outdoor seating so I was able to have my dog with me.

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.

The crab was creamy, well seasoned and ample. Tostadas were made fresh and sprinkled with just the right amount of course salt. The carnitas tacos were huge, packed with succulent pork. The burger was very tasty and huge. The side of fries bordered on perfection. You know when you get fresh, hot, well seasoned fries. Well this was the time. Just perfect. Ask for the house made salsas and you will not regret it. The service from Shannon and then Mason was impeccable. Very attentive, but not pushy. We leisurely enjoyed our food over two hours soaking us the sun and views. The soft sound of surf really added to the ambiance. Check out the pictures. I mean could there have been a more perfect day? I highly recommend this place for lunch an d I would imagine dinner would be spectacular too. We will return.
