I hadn't been to Alex's since the took over the Bender's spot on Price Street. We went for lunch and were pleasantly surprised. They did a great job renovating the space. The cheese curds were delicious, we shared between the table. I had the tri tip sandwich and it was perfect, I love that they use a meat slicer to cut the tri tip super super thin so it's easy to eat it as an actual sandwich. The sautéed veggies on it were a tasty addition, but the real winner was the steak fries! It's hard to find anywhere that still serves them and Alex's were delish!!

Its a sports bar...Locals go there to watch sports, hang out and drink. The food is an option. The head bartender, Schaeffer, is an icon of Pismo Beach and pours you a good drink with lots of banter. Only bad thing is their bar stools are very uncomfortable.. sit in the booths.

Spicy Margarita! Bomb!

Get the tri-tip nachos!! I can't believe this place has been here for 2 years and this was our 1st time here!! The Tri-tip nachos were AMAZING! And so were the hot wings & drinks! Forgot to take a pic of the nachos :/ definitely one of our new favorite spots!

1/2 order biscuits and gravy

My 3rd time into Alexs had to try breakfast this time. Had a great omelette made to order with their crispy hash browns! Also upgraded to biscuit and gravy instead of toast. The omelette was light and fluffy, lots of options for fillings. Also the hash browns were amazing, they were like insane tater tot coins. Biscuits and gravy were good, lots of flavor, didn't have to add salt like I do at most places. Tried one of their signature bloody Mary's, it was so good I forgot to get a good picture of it! Definitely a great hidden gem for breakfast in Pismo.

Build your own Mac N Cheese
Kayla W.

I asked for crispy chicken and they gave me grilled. The Mac n cheese was a 3/10 the cheese was nasty. Service was quick The ambiance was clean

Gluten free fish and chips. Veggies included, but not shown.

OMG! The Gluten free fish and chips are to die for!!!! They are a rare thing to find and these are the best I've ever had!

Chorizo Potato Bites
Ronald G. F.

Well it started with a couple of cold ones, then an appetizer (chorizo potato bites) out standing I will say. Follow by one beef rib, that was so tender with great flavor. Top all that off with a fantastic service makes this place on our list the next time we visit Pismo.

Pool tables, and karaoke? You bet! After we got checked in…read moreat our hotel, we saw Harry's about a block away from where we were staying and walked over to grab a couple of cold ones after a long day on the road. I.D. Is checked at the door, and you are given a wristband. So, no minors/kids allowed. (Nice!) Harry's has a well stocked bar and a decent variety of beer on tap as well as cold bottles. Classic rock music was being played throughout the bar as we had a quick game of pool. The place started filling up with people after we'd been there for about half an hour. Apparently Karaoke night is a big thing here for the locals, because people were stepping up to the mic and killing it!They don't serve any kind of food here, but they do allow you to bring your own food in. (There are several hole in the wall type restaurants just a few steps away from Harry's to choose from, if you like) Recommend you hit Harry's up if you're passing through or staying in town for the weekend!

Went here to hear a band play. We had a really nice time. Drinks are good mixed drinks are a little…read morepricey but I guess its the going rates. Bathrooms are clean, no food options but you can bring food in I guess we did. Music was good, nice dance floor. But the 2nd band was way too loud that it made us all leave. So they should get a handle on that. Its nice to be able to carry a conversation with your friends and enjoy drinks but once it gets deafening then thats time to exit.

Drove up 4 hours just to visit this cafe. Visited a few years ago but they were closed as it was…read moretoo early when we visited. A very cool restaurant with an old school style ambiance. Just a short walk from the Pismo Beach Pier. The staff was great, had Misa as our waitress. I think she could tell we weren't locals so she made some recommendations which were great, offered up some directions to other near by destinations and just had all around great customer service. The food tasted great, bbq sauce for our fries and onion rings was recommended and I believe she said it was made in house, a spot on recommendation. If we're ever in the area we'll for sure be swinging by for lunch again.

Went here yesterday for my sister's birthday trip down to Pismo. Keep in mind, I'm gluten free, and…read moremy sister and my cousin are both dairy free, so we had some limited options. Ambience was nice, I enjoyed the rodeo events on the tv, I'm a barrel racer and rodeo attendee as well so that was fun to see. Waitress was very nice, I don't remember her name but she had cool tattoos and orange hair, she was bringing us refills without us having to ask, and the service was extremely quick. We were a party of 6 and our food came out in less than 10 minutes, even though the restaurant was pretty busy. I enjoyed the open windows so fresh air could flow in and out as well. As for food, I ordered the hula chicken sticks and a side of white rice. Omg. Sooooo yummy!!!! both my entree and side were piping hot and perfectly fresh. Chicken was cooked thoroughly and was very tasty alongside the pineapple. White rice was perfectly cooked as well. We will definitely come back here next time we drive up to Pismo! I also very much enjoyed seeing what was gluten free on the menu, and the gluten free substitution was amazing. I'm so glad to see representation and inclusivity like this. My sister also enjoyed the dairy free options. Overall we went home with a peace of mind. None of us got sick!
