Where to Eat in Pismo Beach

Cracked Crab

If you love seafood, this is the place for you. They cook up a bucketful of seafood with corn on the cob and potatoes, pour it on your table. All you have to do is don a bib and dig in.

Rosa's Italian Restaurant

Great Italian food and a full bar.

Splash Cafe

The long lines outside the door are your first clue that Splash serves the best clam chowder in Pismo Beach. The atmosphere is fun and their other dishes are tasty, too.

Brad's Restaurant

With big outdoor patio and great fish (or clams or shrimp) and chips, Brad's is a good place for lunch or a casual dinner.

Steamer's Restaurant

They've got great ocean views and they serve F. McLintock's steaks.

F. McLintock's Steakhouse

They've been serving up some of the best steaks in the state for a long time. They don't take reservations on weekends, so go early or expect to wait.

Old West Cinnamon Rolls

Some of the best cinnamon rolls I've ever eaten came from this place. They're fresh, come with a variety of toppings and taste great. This homey little place doesn't seem to have a website, so this link goes to some information about it from the Chamber of Commerce.
