Great service from Shania! The alex burger was very good, would definitely order again read more

We head to Pismo often. Mostly stopping to get Giuseppe's slices. We decided to try Alex's. We hadn't yet read any of the lore on the website. We just smelled good food. Can I please tell you. Upon arrival to exit- perfection. Bbq sandwich was great. Coleslaw delicious. Skinny fries perfect. Best happy hour menu I've seen in a long time! 3$ PBR. I was elated. While it was nice to eat great food, watching baseball in good weather. We will be back for Eric. Heard some folks on the way out calling him Shay. But his service was great, missed having just a really great bar keep. Will return for sure read more

The wait staff were extremely nice and friendly. The bbq was so dry and over cooked. The French fries are Frozen and not fresh. The battered fish was good. The ahi tuna was cooked perfectly but the ingredients in the salad were like eating a head of cabbage. read more

Service & food were both terrible. If the servers were more concerned about serving customers than karaoke that would help. How do you mess up a chocolate chip cookie? read more

We thought that we'd finally go to Alex's as it's a Pismo favorite ànd has a good reputation for tasty "grub"! My wife ordered the baby back ribs and they' were tasty but nothing terribly special. I ordered the Au just the tri tip. The dish looked delicious, but looks can be deceiving. I opened the sandwich and it looked more akin to scraps of meat than slices... I took a bite and what meat there was in the sandwich ànd it was tender and "tasteless ". I dipped the sandwich in the au jus ànd it remained tasteless....the au jus too was devoid of flavor ànd taste and seasoning. I brought my concern to the waitress/manager and she brought my displeasure to the cook. I asked what he said...she then informed me that the smoker was out of order. I asked then why serve such a desultory dish. She took a few bucks off the tab...actually that was an insult. They are running on their reputation and obviously don't need my business. Let me leave one positive note...the French fries are exceptional. read more

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!! read more

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. read more

Last time we ordered to go. It was pretty good. Tonight I have to say we were very disappointed. Shared a half rack with fries, beans, and salad. Ribs were dry with little flavor. Beans were bland... ok.... But bland. Even the steak fries had no flavor to them. Honestly my salad was the best part of the meal. Service was average as well. Greeted but once served we were essentially forgotten. read more

Fourth of July at Pismo Beach and Alex's BBQ was one of the rare places open after 9:00 pm--for that reason alone they deserve our business. In addition, food was really good. Best beef ribs I've had in recent memory. Service was friendly and efficient. Fun vibe and energy. So pleased we discovered this joint. Definitely will be back. read more

The food was very, very good and the service was very good too a lot of friendly people there. The bartender is just wonderful. Everybody seems to know each other so that made it feel at home .. everything I've had there was great read more

We're at Alex's BBQ pretty much every week, and one of the things we always look forward to is seeing Shania! She is seriously the best, always so friendly, welcoming, and takes such great care of us even when it's super busy! Great food and even better service! read more

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. read more

The food and service were great. We had the BBQ pork sandwich with Cole slaw and French fries. It was delicious, but it was too cold in there, even when the waitress closed the sliding glass doors. We decided to go to another restaurant for our party for one of my friends. They said it had been open for over a year. They should have had it warmer in there, then we would have held the party there. It was a bar-like atmosphere with the doors wide open. It would have been better if it were warmer. read more

Kat was so nice and friendly! It's nice to have the young talk to old people like us We haven't been in yet but she was working hard cleaning a table. And asked her if The Flight will be on We will try this cool establishment out next time we are back. Or will squeeze in sometime. The fact that she was kind will def try this place out. read more

Shania is the best person ever she literally saved my life. I was in desperate need of food and drink and she delivered like the baddie she is.5 stars all across the board!!! :) read more

Food: Pulled pork slider, hamburger slider, fries, cole slaw and two fish tacos. Fish pieces in the tacos are huge. Very tasty, and they don't skimp on the toppings. Fries were good, seasoned. The sliders were each excellent with some unique sauces/toppings. Overall, the food was a five. Service: Fast, friendly and efficient. Perfect combo for a five star. Ambience: Sports bar vibe. Not huge, from the outside, the place looks massive. It is not. Everything was clean and comfortable. Too many good looking choices on the menu for one visit, so I will have to return. read more

I love that they have a puppy menu! Their menu has lots of options for my family's very different tastes. It was a bummer that they no longer serve pizza. I loved their chicken and vegetable skewers and their service. read more

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. read more

Alex Bar-B-Q in Pismo Beach has a new location...where La Bodega Tapas (closed in October 24) used to be. Thankfully I had the opportunity to give this restaurant a try recently and I am pleased to inform you, my dear Yelp Review Readers...if you are looking for a clean casual atmosphere w/a pleasant vibe, really delicious food and attentive "wait staff" this is it. (Actual review Stars is a 4.5!) No customer service issues on this visit...albeit we did dine early for dinner and late for lunch (shall we call it "Linner" ) and the eatery was mostly empty. Our Server (Allegra) greeted us with "all smiles"...she was personable, menu knowledgeable, and checked back with us often. Kudos Allegra, thank-you! The offerings on the menu were plentiful and we decided to order... Drinks: Between the Sheets - 2/5 (returned without a problem...this was just not to our liking) Kelly's Key Lime - 5/5 (WOW...this was excellent) Appetizers: Chicken Wings - Asian bbq - 4/5 (good) & parm garlic - 5/5 (delicious) Wisconsin Cheese Curds - 4/5 Mains: Beef Ribs (1/2 Rack) w/ sides (2 Side Salads) - 5/5 BYO Burger (egg, jalapeno, avocado, bacon) - 5/5 Spicy Wrangler Burger - 4/5 BYO Burger ( extra patty,mushrooms, grilled onions) - 5/5 Everyone in our party was amazed with the quality/deliciousness of the food and agreed that Alex Bar-B-Q is permanently "on the radar". In this Yelper's opinion...on this occasion, Alex Bar-B-Q "fired on all cylinders and definitely hit the mark" truly earning this near perfect 4.5 Star review. read more

Pretty solid BBQ spot in the old La Bodega space . I tried the Pipeline pizza with chicken, white sauce, caramelize onion, gorgonzola, and a balsamic drizzle. Funky but tasty.

My wife and I came in for dinner. Great casual dining spot in Pismo. I had the tri-tip sandwich with au jus and sweet potato fries. The meat was thinly sliced and the French bread was amazing. My wife had the special ahi salad. She said it was light but filling. We shared the cherry cobbler for dessert, very tasty. Great service. Will definitely be coming back to try the rest of the menu. Great spot! read more

I went to Pismo Beach this weekend to see the car show. I went in to this restaurant to get a seat outside to view the crowd and the vehicles. I did not know that I was going to just enjoy a drink or two, but I enjoyed the food that we had there. The employees did an outstanding job taking care of us customers, always keeping up and making sure that we had drinks. Thank you for great Service and we plan to go back to your company. read more

Food was really good and the service was great. Issue I had was how unsafe I felt. Lots of drunks, like falling down drunk and it was still pretty early. My table was knocked pretty hard by someone unable to stand and my drink almost fell over. Bartenders need to not over serve so other patrons can feel safe. Food was amazing and great to watch the game. Staff were really nice. I would not take kids there and they have a kids menu. read more
