Kate was a real pro. We rolled in with our family and the kiddos made quite a mess. She handled it all with a smile and the food was really solid for the price. It was taco Tuesday! I snagged 5 tacos at $3 a pop and really enjoyed the pollo asada with fresh salsa on the side. We also made a friend at the next table over who split his bread pudding with us, and it was dynamite! We really like the decor with the exposed beams and large windows looking out to the Pacific Ocean. For being in a tourist area I didn't feel like the prices were too out of control. We will certainly be back on our next trip down the coast. Thanks again Kate, sorry my kids destroyed the place... read more

Ordered the Blast Nachos to-go while staying at The Seacrest hotel next door. I WAS so excited to see nachos with "NACHO CHEESE" on a menu at a restaurant near by. I received my order and was juiced to dig into some cheesy goodness! After opening the container there was NO nacho cheese visible.I was hopeful after digging to the middle of it there would be some. WOMP after 5-6 bites NOTHING. Only shredded cheese and "NACHO BEANS" Im upset, Im a sucker for Nacho cheese.. $23 for this? Hard Pass.love the Fresh jalapenos though!. So if your planning to order NACHO's from here you ARE getting Not-Yo Cheese. read more

I gotta say... Blast & Brew really missed on this one. Ordered the nachos thinking they'd be loaded, and yeah they looked good--but where's the nacho cheese? They've got everything else on there--chips, toppings, fresh stuff--but somehow skipped the one thing that makes nachos... nachos. Like come on, not even a drizzle?? Don't get me wrong, it's still decent, but calling them nachos without nacho cheese just feels wrong. Step it up, Blast & Brew. If ur expecting Nacho Cheese on these Nachos, its not yo cheese read more

My daughter ordered a Pina Colada. It never came. So she went up to the guy who took the order (he didn't come back to our table) and he had her wait at the bar so they could make it. They didn't even bring it to the table. I ordered 12 piece chicken wings. The menu indicated it came with ranch or blue cheese dressing. Nope. It wasn't there. Had to ask for it. The kitchen forgot to add it to the plate and the server didn't notice it missing. Ordered a Margarita with light ice (I was freezing because I had forgotten my jacket and it's cold in the restaurant). Received a Margarita stuffed full of ice. So then I reminded them I had requested light ice. So she took it back to the bar and brought it out like this. I guess they don't have smaller glasses. I should have just taken all the ice out myself with the fork. read more

I came on a Sunday to watch football with my husband. This is a fantastic game day spot! There are tons of screens and they had food and drink specials since the game was on. Our server was Colleen and she did a great job despite it being packed. The food is very typical bar food and felt a little lacking. read more

Service could've been better. Sitting outside they weren't as attentive. Actually got our food before we even got our drinks which is pretty rare. But when we did finally get our drinks the smoked old fashion was pretty tasty and I loved the smoke taste. The wings sweet chili bbq were yummy and their ranch was also pretty good. The clam chowder really hit the spot as well. Overall I'd give the place a 6.5-7/10. If the service was a little better it would've been a better overall experience read more

I am giving this site a 5 star review because of our waitress Serena. She was AMAZING! She made our trip so enjoyable. Her friendly cheerful service was much appreciated by all of us at the table. Serena has exceptional customer service skills. To management: you did a great job hiring her. The food was delicious, as usual. The atmosphere was friendly busy and fun. Serena, you are a gem! read more

TLDR : Great place to hang around while visiting Pismo and to grab a beer. Limited the collection of beer in draft but food was great- overall a nice place to wind down. read more

Blast & Brew in Pismo Beach...consistently earns this Yelp Reviewer's 5 Star rating and on this occasion hit the bullseye yet again! Our Server this visit was Johnny. He was professional yet friendly, attentive but not overly so and accommodating to a T! Bravo Johnny, great customer service. The ambiance has always been "spot on" at this location. If it's crowded...you can count on being entertained by a good "buzz". This experience...much less crowded, yet the large screen TV's also do the entertainment job. For our "Happy Hour" ( 2 - 5pm) meal we ordered...a Drink: Yacht Butler (5/5 - this Cocktail is a must try...so delish!). From the Starters Menu: Flame Grilled Filet Mignon w/ Blue Cheese Crumbs (5/5 - perfectly prepared, tender and juicy), Brussels Sprouts (5/5 - fabulous every time ordered) and Onion Rings (5/5 - a crispy and plentiful order). Consistency is the first sign of professionalism and this restaurant has on every occasion hit the mark. Like previous visits...in this Yelper's opinion Blast and Brew in Pismo Beach truly earns another "highly recommend...one of the best casual restaurant experiences you'll ever have" 5 Star review. read more

We have been here three times. The first time was horrible- bad pizza and appetizers. Second time, bad service. Went back one more time and hamburger and nachos were terrible, plus no one cared We asked for a plain smash burger and it came with remnants of everything that had been scraped off of it - mayonnaise onions pickles etc. They offered to remake it, but we declined since we were worried they might spit on it. The chef should have read the ticket correctly, and barring that the server should have checked it. Best of luck to you if you choose to eat here and have any kind of special dietary requests. read more

Back in Pismo and had to give Blast & Brew another try. My wife and I came in yesterday early evening around 5:30 and sat at table 36 by the window. I have to say that our waitress was very pleasant and gave us very great service. I wish I would have known her name. The food was very good and fresh. From when we were here a year ago, you have turned things around. Great service and great food!! Not sure if David is still the owner, hats off to you. read more

Service was pretty mid. We had a rough time at the start. There was about a 30 minute wait before our waitress came back to put in our order. Felt neglected. We even saw our waitress go to other tables multiple times before checking in on us. Once we ordered our food the food came out quick and was not bad. The fish tacos had a good flavor and the fish was very fresh. The blast wrap was okay. It had a lot of lettuce and was a bit dry. The ranch helped. Had great bbq sauce and the tri tip was good too but there was not much in there. Would I order it again, probably not. However, great portion sizes all around. Kind of expensive but makes sense for the area (~$20 a meal). The ambiance was great. We had a nice ocean view. Lots of TVs available to watch baseball or other sporting games. read more

Food: 4.25. Came by for lunch on a Sunday. Place was moderately full. Ordered the fried fish tacos. Choice of chips or fries. Strange to have an option for fries with tacos. Food came out timely and at the right temperature. Haven't had fried fish tacos in awhile and they hit the spot. Fries were crispy as requested. Service was great as usual. read more

Let's start with Sarah-the server that made our night (and got us to come back the next!) We were staying next door and had a long drive in so we wanted something easy and close. My husband had shrimp fettuccine and it was delicious! My Mexican chicken salad was great as well. We had yummy cocktails too, and a wonderful time with Sarah. She was warm and friendly and super good at her job. Really fun, so fun we asked when she worked over the days we were in town and she told us to come back the next night for Taco Tuesday. We went in and made sure to sit in her section again :) Tacos were good and so were the chips; salsa was a little bit plain for me but my husband loved it. Different cocktails, chocolate cake dessert and all of it was yummy! The place is big and kinda loud like a sports bar but the sunset view is beautiful! Sarah is awesome and Steve the manager is cool too. Nice spot, we'll go back when we're in Pismo again. read more

It's amazing what new management can do for a restaurant. Since my initial review, things have change and all for the better. The crew is fun, the menu constantly evolving and the desserts...heavenly! My favorite menu item is the Chili Verde Bowl. Now, somebody's mom gave up this recipe because it is soooooo good and authentic. At first it was a seasonal item, but it was so popular they put it on the menu to stay. Well deserved too!!! The building sits atop the parking lot for The Seacrest Hotel. There are tables inside and outside, an open front of the building faces the streetcar you can watch the cars go by and multiple TVs give you the sports fix. So happy to say they've really turned around this location and it's now one of the best places in town to sip a beverage, eat great food and watch baseball. Enjoy!! read more

We were actually recommended this place from our hotel so we decided to try it. Between 2 adults and a child we ordered the nachos, fish and chips, ceasar salad, and kids mac n cheese. The staff was nice but they forgot that we wanted the refried beans on the side. The fish and chips were ok, as well as the kids mac n cheese. The Nachos were probably the best thing - and probably could have fed a family of 5. We had some to bring home and eat by the pool at least. The ceasar salad.. was blah. I actually had to throw it away. I think we were underwhelmed overall unfortunately. Looks like they have a DIY beer pour wall.. Maybe could be better for drinks and happy hour but for lunch it was a pass for us. read more

Serena is an amazing waitress! She was very attentive, made us feel incredibly welcomed, and had such a great attitude. Her customer service really stood out. She is super personable and friendly. I had the steak bites, which were flavorful and juicy, along with a creamy clam chowder that absolutely hit the spot. Everything was delicious. I will definitely be coming back next time I'm in the area! read more

Staying at Sea Crest, so awesome to have such a great restaurant so close to hotel. People in our party split a chili verde dinner very good, Taco salad was on point lots of flavor, Davids Chicken sandwich hit the spot, thin sliced chicken with added grilled onions and au jus was great. Service was very good, unbelievable ocean view beautiful with great sunset. Ask for an ocean front window if available. read more

Came here before a few years ago but this time around, we ordered through UberEats instead of dining in. While staying at SeaCrest, this restaurant is conveniently located right next to the hotel. Decided to get UberEats and there was a BOGO for their pepperoni pizza. My sister wanted the Pismo Smash Burger so we ordered that as well. The food was available in 10 minutes which was so fast! The pepperonis pizza was so worth it as it was ~$16 for (2) pizzas, 8 slices each. While the deal was worth it, our stomachs suffered as it was quite salty. The dough wasn't too oily which was appreciated but there was way too much salt on top of the pepperoni which is quite oily. My sister did enjoy her hamburger as it was quite loaded. We got the fries on the side (forced us to get a side which was $1 extra). The fries were also wayyy too salty and we had to down it with water. Regardless, this restaurant is quite convenient if you are staying along the coast next to Pismo Beach. Parkin can be rough as it's shared with the hotel but I can see why this place is popular, especially during SuperBowl Sunday or if you want to watch sports in general. Lots of seating, with bars and casual spots too. read more

Super fun place to go with a big group as they have variety on their menu. They have pizza, wings, appetizers, salads, burgers, sandwiches, and more. I ordered the Chicken Alfredo and it was better than I expected. The atmosphere of this restaurant is fun, there are sports games displayed on the TVs. The service was good, we felt like they were really trying to upsell because they asked if we wanted more drinks multiple times. They only have Pepsi products, but their other drinks are good. The view from the restaurant overlooks the ocean, super gorgeous! ig: @cravingswithcat read more

Night *three* at Blast & Brew--because clearly, we have commitment issues... unless it's tacos. This time, it wasn't Sarah or Serah lighting up our table--it was Tre, and let me tell you, he brought the heat. Attentive, funny, and made our third round feel like the first time (cue romantic taco music). We came ready for Taco Tuesday like champs. Carnitas, tri-tip, and chicken? Yes, we ordered all three, because moderation is for Wednesdays. Flavor-packed, bigger than expected, and frankly, taco perfection. We wrapped it up with a Cosmo--because nothing says "responsible adulting" like cocktails before 4 PM. Don't worry, this was just our halftime show. There's a solid chance we'll be back for round two tonight. Thanks, Blast & Brew, for always bringing your A-game and your taco game. read more

Placed an online pickup order through Blast & Brew's website and received a cancellation text about 7 minutes later, despite an original 17-minute prep time. I called to ask why and was told they had turned off their tablets because they were "really busy" and didn't have time for pickup orders. The person who answered (Riley) sounded annoyed and unhelpful. Disappointing experience, especially with no explanation before canceling the order. read more

Food was fine but had to go back twice because they forgot the cake and the dipping sauce for a French dip.

Usually when you take in a high calorie brewery menu, it's a mindful trade off: big flavor to offset high kcals and of course, the $$$. We found a lot of the food beautifully presented and disappointingly bland. We ordered nachos, Mac & Cheese, kids chicken, bbq chicken pizza, jalapeño burger and street corn. Pizza had a great crust, but was super oily- maybe from the bacon? Not sure, but it was pooling with glistening oil above and below the pie. The Mac and cheese was artisanal-seeming but over cooked and over bland. No one really wanted to eat it after the test bite. The Jalapeño burger, topped with a massive flavorless jalapeño on a shockingly unseasoned patty. The bun was good and buttery toasted. Sadly it was the best part of the burger. The side of street corn tasted canned within seconds the corn itself tasted like nothing (as in not even corn) and lacked the stronger blend of flavors usually in the most basic, buy-on-the-street street corn. The nachos were ok. Mostly a texture party (which was good, but again, they didn't seem to put flavor on the invite). The onions tasted old (like they were cut hours ago and lost their zing), the sweet picked jalapeños served with the nachos were nice, though not spicy. Drinks are good, service is pleasant, the table waters had a strong metallic tap taste. It's 2025, still no water filter? They're not expensive, even for high volume filters. The place looks great, with a fun, well-designed decor and beautiful food. Just wished they paid 1/3 as much attention to the recipes and food quality. The choices we made tonight should all have been painfully easy to make well and taste great. We didn't try the beer tonight, perhaps that's the primary draw here. I'd come back to grab a brew, but probably not the grub. read more

My daughter and I went to have a drink and share a meal. We ordered a side green salad with ranch which was great! We also ordered the chicken sandwich (plain). It was ok. More pickles than chicken (and I love pickles). Our waffle fries came out hard as a rock. Our server was nowhere to be found. We had told her we wanted to order drinks but we needed a few more minutes to look at the drink menu. She never came back, not to take a drink order, to check on our food, to fill up our water, never. Until after we spoke to a manager. He gave us new waffle fries and took $4 off of our bill. We questioned going here because of the reviews so I guess it's our own fault. We gave them the benefit of the doubt. The restaurant vibe and view is great. Lots of tvs, fun drinks, etc. We will never return however! A good mixed green salad just isn't enough to bring us back. read more

Glad we went!!! Delicious!!! Ordered just about everything under the sun....the WINNERS were: sweet potato fries, pretzels, Brussels sprouts, shrimp cocktail (served Mexican style), bacon burger, fish and chips, and house blonde ale. So good!!!! Losers: tri tip grilled cheese (two slender pieces of cheese ain't no grilled cheese) and Mac and cheese (tried it bc it seemed like a staple, it was made with the nacho cheese dipping sauce from the pretzel, ew). Service was quick, bummed it all came out at once...appetizers and main course. Beers came out asap! Ambiance was nice, being a sweater. Over all, a little on the expensive side but worth it. Enjoyed our food, the selection, and the service. read more

I had high hopes for this place. Upon entering it is impressive. It is a lot bigger than one would expect and looks like a great place for large group. Think team dinners for kids! Lots of large screen tvs and full bar along with beer taps. The one sticking point aside from just average food, was our waitress. She was just awful. Not attentive, barely friendly and slow. The support staff was better and more attentive. But her service killed the vibe and I would be cautious to return read more
