We have been coming here for years and have never been disappointed... until now. Starting off, we had the chowder and it was delicious. Then, out came the fish. We had the fish and chips. The fish was sold as cod, but they were very small fillets quite unlike cod, and they had absolutely no flavor. We also had the scallops. They were a pre prepared, probably frozen, tiny pieces of flavorless scallop meat, coated in very thick doughy crust. I think we might try another option for seafood, next time in town. I would like to think it was only a fluke, but, I donât think so.We are so sorry that you did not enjoy your last meal here! If at anytime during your meal you are unsatisfied, we would be happy to remake our order or make something else! We have not changed our recipes in 30 years so we hope you will give us another try!

So, this is a clean well run restaurant with a nice menu, and excellent service.... came here a long time ago, and though we would try it again... we were not disappointed. Fish Taco's were outstanding, and the Leticia Salad with Steak was delicious... server was very busy, but keep up with the tables and drinks well......

The food is awesome, great portions, wholesome, rib sticking! Starting to look run down. Staff needs a little help, not enough of them for the amount of customers. Owner, Carla is hard on staff, she was yelling constantly during breakfast.Thank you for your comments we appreciate your visit. Not sure what was tired but we pride ourselves In our restaurant, unfortunately we do not own the building so we are limited at what we can do. No sure who you were referring to Carla has been out all week. But thank you anyway.

Known for their breakfasts, but we like lunch which beware doesnât start until 11:30 or shortly thereafter. My Reuben was to die for. I had 1/2 sandwich and soup combo. Todayâs soup was chicken vegetableâ though tasty it was a bit too spicy/peppery for me and the chicken was way over cooked and tough. Husband liked his burger but coleslaw was tasteless.

Came here with family to celebrate our 25th anniversary. Everyone ordered different seafood dishes and we shared appetizers and a bottle of wine. Considering the restaurant is right on the bay and serves fresh catches, plates start at $30!!!! A little pricey although it was very good!
5. Cayucos Sausage
Reviewed By N8delaney
Super friendly owners and they have high quality products! Great spot near the beach to grab a sandwich, or if you live here grab some quality sausages. I'm not usually a fan of sliced bread sandwiches unless they're made at home, but damn.They slow roast chicken, pork and tritip for their sandwiches. I originally ordered a regular sandwich but was talked into getting the fresh roasted pork on my sandwich. Wow. I am glad I went with the fresh cooked meat. They load up the sandwich with a pretty hearty helping of the meat, but certainly don't skimp on the veggies. I ended up getting their roasted pork with smoked cheddar, lettuce, tomato, onion, and some Chipotle mayo. Damn that was good. As much as I don't enjoy a sliced loaf bread for a sandwich they compensated by such a great blend of meat, bread, veggies and seasoning. I can't wait to go back. They are great people with a quality product in a beautiful location.

I have no idea why Tripadvisor has bundled the reviews from the "Pieman", who is out of business, with the Cayucos Deli at the local Gas Station...?? The address is even incorrect!!The Cayucos Deli makes THE best Breakfast Burritos in town. It's not a fancy place, but...the food is good..

We tried getting in on a Sat. night but the wait was too long so made reservations for Sunday when our friend was joining us. Perfect! They suggest "sharing" which we love. We shared a vegetarian pizza, salmon and shrimp. All excellent. Shrimp served whole and beautifully presented. Local, great wines. The atmosphere was unique. Pretty much a roof with sides that go up and down depending on the weather. Kitchen is in a different building and completely open to see. In another building there was a bakery. Fresh, local foods. Fabulous!

We enjoyed the atmosphere. But, the shrimp breading was heavy. Try a coconut shrimp or they need to reduce the batter a bit. The Halibut, which was $20 also had a hard breading, which ruined the fish. So, the food was ok, but the value of the view and the drinks and the overall vibe was great! I might stick to other areas of the menu, as fish and shrimp weren't their main focus, ahi tuna was. I was told that, I should have listened.Hi Susan, thanks for coming in, and sorry that your dishes didn't match the vibe. Ironically, Halibut & Chips is one of our more popular lunch items, as well as some of our Ahi dishes. Unfortunately it sounds as though the fry cook taste-tested too much of the beer before adding it to the batter, likely accounting for the imbalance in the final product. We tell these guys to make sure everything tastes exactly right, but perhaps we'll be a little more clear that the draft beer is probably just fine without a fourth opinion...Regards,Chad B

We had breakfast two consecutive days at Bill and Carol's Sea Shanty on Ocean Avenue in the quiet Central Coast town of Cayucos, California Eggs, bacon, potatoes and toast (wheat toast dry) doesn't wow most people but when the bacon is thick, crisp,and crunchy with potatoes dry and tasty, we go back for more. Service was pleasant and the food was fresh, prepared with attention and hot. We ate inside and enjoyed looking at all the caps on the ceiling while waiting for our breakfasts.The service was efficient, courteous and friendly. Casual and memorable experience.
