The atmosphere is electric; friendly and welcoming. The food is perfect! The bread is the best! I wish you had Coke instead of Pepsi though! The menu is fabulous! The desserts are a bit of heaven! Your prices are high but understandable. And the BEST are your Restaurant people; absolutely professional, accommodating and out of this world friendly! The fast service is a BIG PLUS TOO!!!!

I took my son out to lunch here today and it was fantastic. I ordered the swordfish with Brussels sprouts and sweet potato hash. All of it was delicious as usual. My son was equally pleased with his pistachio crusted calamari club sandwich and garlic fries. The best part of the entire meal was our waiter, Abram. I knew right away he had to be awesome because we share the same hairstyle (bald). He provided great service and was very courteous and helpful. Give that man a raise!

Been coming here for years, generally have had excellent service and food. I have to say though I am lowering my glowing 5 star review to a 4! Our last few servers have been very slow, our notes and requests in our reservations have been ignored almost every time, and the new beer list makes NO sense. It's half IPAs and light beers. Even the 805 is the blonde version, please, please bring back a normal 805 or the wonderful Firestone Double Barrel ale you had for years. A red lager would be wonderful. Aside from this somewhat minor complaint in the scheme of things I highly recommend pismos for your next lunch or dinner!

Went here for Gigis birthday - let's get into it! Ordered the broccoli chedder soup, clam chowder sampler, and oysters to start. My wife in prego my ego and almost threw up eating the chedder soup. So boxed it up for later. The chowder sampler was MONEY and ate it all. I love mixing the spicy with the regular chowder. Lots of clam in the soup too. Hell yeah. Oysters were HUGE and fresh. Main dish got the sea bass. Wasn't bad maybe a 7/10. Rice was good and the brussel sprouts were cool with sweet bacon bits. My wife said burger was also good. She got to go and ate it all later that day. We also got a free treat for her birthday.

Love, love, love the white clam chowder. That was the best thing I ordered off the menu. I tried it as a chowder trio and it was the best of the 3! I visited Pismo's on a weekend night and was glad I thought to make a reservation. It's a very popular spot and I overheard wait times to be over 45 minutes for walk-in guests. For my entree, I had the Seafood Pasta. I appreciated that they allowed me to sub out the scallops for extra shrimp and calamari. Pricing was a little up there but, that's to be expected when dining out in California.

My family came here for Christmas Eve dinner. Family friendly restaurant suitable for small and large parties. I had the fish and chips entrée which seems to be a popular item. Every time I pass the kitchen toward the bathroom. We shared a clam chowder with the table and it was so slightly above room temperature, but it was a busy holiday.

First time ever in the Riverpark eating at this fine establishment Pismos. My co workers actually referred to me this seafood gem. I love love seafood cuisine and absolutely had to try it out for the first time. I placed my pick up order online last week. They offered holiday packages meals I couldn't pass up of course. The price was appropriate for what we wanted. There is plenty of parking available just be aware it's in the center of Riverpark shopping center and everyone is there. The restaurant is located in a busy location. You can't miss there giant sign and people heading inside. Overall I do give Pismos three thumbs up due to the food was very satisfying and just wanted to get more and more.

Pismo's is probably one of my favorite spots in town They have a wide variety of meals if you're not feeling fish, they have a great Santa Maria steak and fry or salad A delicious bread bowl with clam chowder However, I ordered a red chowder thinking it was just going to be spicy clam chowder. It was a little too tomatoy for me. Nonetheless, the wait can be long here, but it's always worth it. I need to make a point to try more of their fish base items because I do love fish. Every server I have had here has been quite delightful and the hosts aren't too bad themselves. Very pretty but sweet people here. my one complaint is oysters were really expensive and terribly tiny. I was definitely expecting a large larger oyster than the ones we had ordered. Overall service is good. Food is great. Some things can be improved, but I enjoy coming to pismo's
