“Cozy, seaside view with plenty of seating and classic seafood options. Prices are what you would expect, nothing too pricey. We went with fish and chips and a bowl of clam chowder. The fish was fresh and the portions are big. I would recommend this place if you are looking for a place to relax and eat a meal by the beach. Seating is mostly inside but the windows are wide open so perhaps there is also seating on the sidewalk.“

We ate breakfast here and both my spouse and I were pleased and we prefer to eat plenty of animal protein at our meals. It was very easy to get a robust amount in an omelette, easy to add additional eggs, and they were absolutely delicious. The fries were the best we’ve ever had, literally. Will visit again! This place is going on our favorites list.“

“Delicious food, exceptional service, and a beautiful view near the Rock. What more could you ask for? We'd heard a lot of buzz about Morro Grill, so on our most recent trip (April 2024) we put them on the list. They will now always be one of our go-to's in future trips! The pet-friendly restaurant is on the 2nd floor, but there is an elevator in addition to stairs. We were greeted warmly by two of the staff members who, throughout our meal, took fantastic care of us. Food: I had the 1/2 rack of the St. Louis Ribs and they were some of the most tender and flavorful I've ever had! The plate comes with garlic toast, cole slaw and another side -- I chose the house chips, and they were crispy and delicious. My husband is still raving about his Baja grilled shrimp tacos! They come three to an order, and he finished every bite. Our friend chose the Greek Power Bowl and also finished every bite. Honestly, by that time it was nap time and with that gorgeous view on a perfect sunny day, we didn't want to leave. We can't wait to return!“

Chablis Cruises American • $$$
1215 Embarcadero, Morro Bay - 5.37 miles

“My husband and I have wanted to go on this cruise for years now. We finally booked it and it was really relaxing. Our tickets included lunch which was a turkey sandwich on a croissant and their award winning clam chowder. However, they ended up serving us potato soup instead of clam chowder, so our first round of drinks was on the house. The staff was friendly and laid back which we enjoyed. I would do this again. Hopefully next time I get to actually try their award winning clam chowder.“

“One of the best places on the Central Coast. This hidden gem is on the 41, between Downtown Atown and Morro Bay. This renovated garage/barn turn modern ranch chic is the home to a fresh/natural/modern culinary experience. Once you enter you are greeted and have menu's on a little table at the door. When you're ready, you go up and order. I ordered the Rock Burger (Beyond Meat and no Bacon), comes with fries, the Bahn Mi Tots and Beer Battered Onion Rings. The Rock Burger is what you want. Beautiful fluffy Brioche bun from Back Porch Bakery, Central coast creamery blue cheese bringing the funk/creamy/saltness to cut through the burger, the caramelized onions for sweetness, the fresh mixed greens for that earthy bite, and whole grain mustard sauce for a little more acidity. The fries are done to salty, crispy, yet soft inside perfection. The Beer battered onion rings are served the a beautiful house made ranch and bbq sauce. Cooked perfect, just wish there was more. And the Star of the show, Bahn Mi Tots. The mix of tots, fresh vegetables, creamy sauce, soft meets crunch, vinegar balanced by fatty creaminess of the sauce, gives you full Umami! Just an awesome concept, that works to the fullest! The power went out while we were there with our friends from out of town and instead of kicking us out, they brought over candles (which was made by someone dinning in at the time) and asked if we needed anything. This is truly a first class operation and am honored to say they are in my own backyard. We've introduced many to them and we'll introduce many more.*What happened to the CHEESE CURDS?*“

“My family and I dined at House of Juju in November 2023. We were only in Morro Bay for a few days (Monday and Tuesday) and ate at another establishment the day before; having a horrible experience. When I looked online at the hours for House of Juju for Tuesday it showed they were closed. I was SO disappointed as I was really looking forward to having a delicious meal here. My family and I went down to the water and noticed House of Juju appeared to be open. I called the restaurant to confirm and spoke with Maddy. She was so friendly and confirmed they were open on Tuesday as a trial. I was thrilled! My family and I went in for dinner and had Maddy as our server. She was just as pleasant as she had been on the phone and provided excellent service. We were able to enjoy a delicious meal and watch the sunset from the back of the restaurant. The Juju Bleu burger is AMAZING, along with the clam chowder, and the flatbread! This will continue to be an establishment we will frequent while in town.“

My grilled jalapeño burger with bacon, chipotle mayo and pepper jack cheese was delicious. My wife had a classic burger and she really enjoyed her meal. The view of the harbor and water from inside on a chilly afternoon was nice. It was a bit busy but the service was excellent and the food came promptly and hot. The next time we're craving a burger in Morro Bay, this is where we will go.“

“The best feature is the location on the harbor overlooking the rock. This has been my mom and dad's favorite restaurant for 30 years. The interior walls are clad in rich wood throughout with large windows where you can glimpse seals and otters swimming past. The service is friendly and efficient. The last visit was a late lunch celebrating Valentine's Day. They offer lunch specials until 4:00 pm and my mom loves the Snapper Sandwich and the red cabbage slaw. It is grilled on the mesquite grill and the fish is consistent good. I ordered the Chicken Teriyaki with rice pilaf and cabbage slaw off the regular menu and it was excellent! The chicken was so flavorful and perfectly grilled but the standout was the rice pilaf for me. I eat carbs sparingly but I finished my entire plate of rice. The onion, bell pepper blend added such a delicious flavor profile to the pilaf and it complimented the chicken so well. We all enjoyed our meals and the view. I definitely recommend for a delightful meal with possibly the best view in Morro Bay.“
