The Babydudes Smash Burger.
Ralph M.

Today while in Morro Bay we were hungry for a burger. We weren't sure where to go but while driving down Morro Blvd. I stopped at Babydudes so my wife could pick up some of their chocolate chip cookies. She came back to the car with the cookies and a menu. She told me the woman behind the counter said their smash burger is excellent. That's all I needed to hear; actually she got me at smash. The woman who turned out to be the owner was very attentive and confident in her menu which was very helpful. We both ordered the smash burger and a drink. We sat outside which is different patio tables and chairs spread out under umbrellas. Our food was delivered promptly and it looked great. My wife normally doesn't order cheese burgers and missed that the smash burger comes with cheese. When she realized her mistake, she told the young lady that she would remember for next time, even though she offered to make her a new burger. Shortly thereafter, the owner came out to check on us and asked about redoing her burger and when my wife thanked her and told her that she declined the offer from me kitchen, the owner insisted and took her burger and said that she would wrap it for me to have later. That situation alone and her concern for my wife's contentment was awesome and unlike anything we've seen in a restaurant. Obviously, this owner truly cares about her customers. As for the smash burger, OMG!!!! Delicious, tasty, flavorful, satisfying and juicy are some of the words that describe this burger. My wife said it reminded her of a backyard burger. We now have two reasons to visit Babydudes, their chocolate chip cookies and their smash burger. We will definitely be back!!!

This place has remarkable vibes and exceptional service! Don't get me started on the food, I'll be talking for hours. I got the Priscilla Queen of the Desert and my boyfriend got the Union Gate. We both agree that these were the best burgers we've had in our entire lives. I wish I could have one everyday Great job guys!!! & pleeeeease check this place out 10/10

When they were making brownies, they were the best I've ever eaten. Sorry they're closed now.

Beyond exceptional!! Impressive, excellent, delicious....hospitable.... I'm honestly offended to read the one stars because we had such an incredible experience, I refuse to believe that these people (Karens?) took it up with the staff as this is a family owned & operated establishment. This means the owners themselves are in there...wiping tables, serving the food, cooking the food, taking the orders personally... there's no way that the staff - the family.... Knew how these customers felt. It's tough to believe the complaints at all because everything was SO impressive. The cookie was crusted with a natural, good crunch but toward the middle gets super moist while the flavors intensify between the sweet, sprinkled with bits of salt. The lamb burger was balanced in juicy, organic flavors - said by a previous chef himself, my husband...believe it or not it's hard to find "balance" in foods, even to a decent cheeseburger because you can order a burger anywhere but ask yourself why they don't all taste the same? Because burgers are flavored differently. So the lamb burger...especially lamb...is an art to get right. Extremely satisfying, well done girls! The smash burger....smashing, darlings. Best I ever had! Seriously I crave it even now as I write about it. Juicy, flavored, perfectly cooked...organic. Again, be proud...well done, owners. Trust and believe the staff on their recommendations are honest so if in doubt then ask or have that conversation with them because they are very hospitable and will tell you what's really good! Like the corn dog. We were told it's "fire" and fire it was!! Moist cake...this is 10 stars. Can't wait to come back, this is now our go to in Morro Bay outside of Dorn's for breakfast. Now we have another hotspot dining! The owners are amazing, just be friendly and kind to their establishment and they will be friendly and kind to you!

Stellar service !!! We were walking thru downtown Morro Bay at night and heard some electronic music coming from baby dudes. When we approached, I asked what was going on and a person who worked there warmly invited us in. Great vibes. When we went to purchase beer, Ana took care of us. Ana was SO warm, welcoming, and made us feel right at home. We tried the chocolate chip cookies (holy moly - soooo good!!). We played pinball machines and danced to the DJ set. Made our whole trip to morro bay and we had a blast thanks to the people at baby dudes. Can't wait to be back and try some more of their food. Thanks Ana & friends!!

Ms.Frizzle smash burger and chicken salad sandwich. All of them come with a bag of chips. Worth going to try. You won't be sad!
Amber S.

Upon searching for a burger for my boyfriend in this area that could bring him joy I stumbled on this place and the reviews were raving. I was skeptical at first because it seemed too good to be true. It wasn't. It met and exceeded expectations. My boyfriend had the Ms. frizzle burger and I had the chicken salad sandwich. Both of them are top tier choices. I will add this, I do not eat beef since I was 11, I'm 40 now. I've tried bites of my boyfriend's burgers or steaks over the years and I always end up spitting them out, sorry to be gross. But this time was different, not only did I take a bite and fully eat it, I asked for another bite. I would come here and eat half a burger with him any day here as it was that good. When you do something right, you do something right. They do something excellent. Well done, not to mention, friendly people, fun and lighthearted atmosphere. Don't deny yourself a baked good either. That sea salt chocolate chip cookie was top tier as well. Thank you to the owners of this place for making simply fire food. I only wish you were nearer to where we live!

Pinballs + books = pure bliss

Cool spot with thoughtfully prepared food, great beer and wine (love Riesling!) selection with both indoor and patio. The staff were fun and generous, and everything was really clean. Will be back to try the whole menu!

Might go off on a bit of a tangent. But... wow! Delicious, locally sourced, and queer owned! As a queer woman myself, it means so much to come into an atmosphere where you just feel at home. Great service and amazing quality food! 10/10 a must go if you're a foodie and enjoy beautiful people

Tuna sandwich
Cindy F.

I am pretty sure passerbyers could hear my euphoric pleasure in the best tuna sandwich in the world! Really, I love tuna sandwiches that are tangy, crunchy and built on fresh bread. The salt and vinegar chips within the sandwich sealed the deal.

Ms. Frizzle burger

Babydudes know what they're doing when it comes to food! Best Tuna Sandwich of my life. It feels ridiculous to pay this much for a tuna fish sandwich and yet I happily do it over and over and over again because it is that amazing. It's perfectly balanced - crunchy vinegary salty lemony briney with homemade bread. It's perfection Also, the burgers are incredible. Best burgers I've ever had. I love a smash burger and every time I order one of theirs I'm blown away. My favorites are the Ohgee and the Ms Frizzle. Cookies and brownie are also delicious. The ambiance inside is a little funky - not as warm and inviting as the food and service deserve - but it's evolving so do not be dissuaded by the mishmash decor. The food more than makes up for it and the owners are incredibly warm, kind people - stopping in here is always a bright spot in my day. There are pinball machines if you want to play and a large outdoor patio which is a nice place to sit. Check Instagram for the latest hours and menu info. They are constantly changing so that is the most accurate source of information.

Patatas brava !
Mar E.

The food was very good, but the ordering process was kind of odd. They only had one physical dinner menu that everyone in line had to share....you would think they would have enough copies so that you could take it to your table. They also did not let you run a tab, again odd for a "small plate appetizer" menu. They also did not let you taste wine without buying a glass at $14. On the positive side, the pork was very good as was the corn dog. The mac and cheese were very rich.

candid moment of pure bliss via chicken salad sandwich.
marco v.

i visit morro bay a decent amount bc my partner's family lives here... finding food that can match up to the ambiance this amazingly beautiful town exudes has been an ongoing struggle. finally found the spot though... the vibe and decor are chaotic af (*somewhere btwn chaotic neutral and chaotic good for the nerds out there making alignment charts for central californian coastal eatery options... bonus modifier: + 10 charm bc of deliciousness and friendliness of staff which offset the otherwise confusing and quirky decor and layout). seriously i'm dumbfounded... the smash burger was to die for and the chicken salad sandwich was one of the best i've ever had. *(basically bunch of d&d/rpg nerd speak for this place being rad as all f&@?! and the adhd decorating scheme strangely adding to it's charm)

Curry chicken empanada
Kelly L.

This scratch kitchen never disappoints. locally sourced, housemaid magic! The porcetta sandwich is absolutely amazing. The empanadas are next level! You will not be disappointed. Absolutely the best food you will find in Morro Bay.!

We have been to the Scout Coffee location in SLO and this was the first time that we've been here at the Morro Bay location. We had an iced vanilla latte and hot mocha along with their morning bun. The mocha tastes a little bit more like a hot chocolate mix with espresso versus an old-fashioned mocha, but I was pleasantly surprised by how lightly sweet it was. The morning bun was one of the best morning buns I've ever had. The bakery for Scout Coffee is at this location and so all the pastries were very fresh. The location aesthetic was beautiful and they had a lovely large wooden community table that you can sit at as well as a cute area for kids to sit and play equip with a kid coffee shop wooden toy. Very sweet.

Super cute coffee shop, loved that there was plenty of seating options. Stopped here with my sister…read morefor some chai and a snack. I ordered my chai hot with oat milk and vanilla on the sweeter side. I also ordered a chocolate banana bread. The banana was definitely rich, yummy. As for my chai, it genuinely just tasted like some very plain almost like water. You could taste a hint of chai but it just wasn't enough. I did ask for more vanilla but it didn't really help. I was sad cause I really wanted to love my chai, I rarely even order it hot but I was in the mood for one. My sister got hot chocolate which she enjoyed! Other than that it was cute inside and did have a good vibe going.

While searching Yelp for a coffee shop, Rock Espresso Bar came up as one of the most popular…read moreoptions in the area. With so many reviews, I was looking forward to giving it a try. Walking in, you can tell this is a classic neighborhood café. There's nothing overly fancy about it--just a few tables, a small pastry case, and, of course, coffee. One thing that surprised me was the music choice. They were playing what sounded like punk rock, which felt a little out of place for the atmosphere of the café, especially since many of the customers appeared to be older adults. For my order, I went with a blueberry muffin and a cappuccino. The muffin was fresh and flavorful, and the cappuccino was well made. Overall, I was happy with both items. The reason I'm taking off a star is because the employee working during my visit used a lot of profanity while speaking. I understand that casual conversation happens, but I don't think that kind of language is appropriate in a café setting where customers are trying to relax and enjoy their coffee. Overall, I would recommend this place if you're looking for a quick grab-and-go coffee or pastry. The food and drinks were good, but the atmosphere wasn't ideal for sitting down to study, work, or have a conversation with someone.

- Groggy's Scallywag Coffee House…read more My girlfriend and I stopped at Groggy Scallywag Coffee House during a short trip to Morro Bay after she had noticed it on a previous visit. I'm glad we finally tried it. It's a small coffee shop right off Embarcadero with a simple setup. They have refrigerators with cold drinks, can make both hot and iced coffee, and also offer a small selection of pastries such as muffins, croissants, bagels, and cinnamon rolls. They also sell coffee to take home. There really isn't indoor seating, but that did not bother us at all. You're right by the coast, and there are tables outside in the breezeway along with areas near the dock where you can stand and enjoy your drink. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The menu is displayed on a TV screen near the entrance, which made ordering easy. I ordered a large iced Mexican mocha, and it was excellent. You could actually taste the spice in it rather than it just tasting like a regular mocha with a different name. I would absolutely order it again. One small thing that really stood out to me was their discount program. Near the register, they had a multicolored flag recognizing several groups including military, law enforcement, EMS, firefighters, dispatchers, and nurses. Before ringing us up, the employee pointed to it and asked whether any of those applied to us. I told her I was a nurse, and she immediately gave me 10% off. I thought that was a really nice touch. Discounts for military and first responders are common, but nurses are not always included, so I appreciated the recognition. Between the good coffee, friendly staff, convenient location, and thoughtful service, I really have nothing negative to say about this place. I would absolutely come back and would gladly try more of their drinks and pastries next time I'm in Morro Bay.

Great vibes, great drinks, great decor…read more Matcha was perfect, helpful staff and you get money back!!
