Great spot right off 101 with a great view of the Pismo Beach shoreline. Love the atmosphere with a lot of TV's for game day. Great selection of beer and food. The food menu has a WIDE variety of options without feeling too overwhelming. Staff is friendly and pleasant. read more

Came back for a 2nd time after have an issue with food. But the GM David reached out to get information as to what happened and explained how they take pride in their food and service. And asked that we come back and try again. He comp't our lunch which was very nice. The food came out very hot and looked delicious. The salad was extremely fresh and crisp, fish tacos were very good also that was a new try for us. But the star of lunch, was the Cowboy Burger, cooked to a perfect pink with plenty of juice coming out when we cut it to share. Very hot and flavorful juice running down hands yet very very delicious. This was totally opposite of our first experience but know we can forget about that as they understood and eagerly addressed the problem. We are definitely coming back to eat here again. My previous review will be deleted as the issue was throughly addressed. I would highly recommend others to come here and have some great food. Once again we like to Thank David (GM) and the entire staff as they really did a great job. read more

Great casual place - with lots of menu variety, perfect for groups. Service was impeccable. I can't remember the name of our server, but he was great! We tried the margarita flight and the spicy one was my favorite! read more

Stopped for lunch and to whale watch. The scene was beautiful sunny and the food was do die for. Our server was friendly and efficient. The food portion was very generous and priced reasonably. We will definitely be back. Hopefully the whales make an appearance, too. read more

I love this place!! Whenever we are in the area we eat and drink here. They have a nice selection of food: appetizers, burgers, seafood, steak...... and beverages. All within a beautiful location with ocean views. Time it to be there at sunset and you won't be disappointed! The service is friendly and efficient, they also provide take out service. On one of our nights we ordered a pizza to enjoy on our hotel patio. read more

Came by around 4: 20 pm on a Wed for their half price beer wall special that runs from Mon - Thurs 4 pm to close. Cheaper than getting comparable guest taps from the bartender. Love the beer wall concept as I can get tasters of each without bothering the bartender or committing to a pint. Wish there were more options. I was the only one using the beer wall at the time. read more

What a great place! Mom and I were staying at the Seacrest hotel just below the restaurant. We decided to give it a try on our first night after we arrived and we weren't disappointed. This is definitely a sports bar and it's huge with TVs everywhere which was awesome because the World Cup was on and the place was packed. We lucked out and got a table next to the window which overlooked our hotel but also the ocean. Service was great and the food was delicious. Here's what we had... Giant soft pretzel - soft, salty and warm. Both the cheese sauce and the mustard were perfect pairings. Love this carbie goodness. Coconut shrimp - this was a little disappointing simply because neither one of us could taste the coconut. It was more like a fried shrimp, which was fine, but nothing memorable. Ahi tuna nachos - this was absolutely the star of the show and the one dish we kept talking about all weekend and would come back for in a heartbeat. The tuna was fresh and delicious. The smoky drizzle on top brought out all of the beautiful flavors piled up on top of crispy wonton chips. This is 100 out of 10 in our book and we will definitely be back to get this again and again. read more

We had the chicken Alfredo pasta and the kids' meal of chicken strips with fries, ordered for delivery to SeaCrest's poolside. The ordering itself took place in the app, and it was rather straightforward. We waited for about 10 minutes before I encountered the delivery staff just outside of the pool. I signed off on the delivery and enjoyed the meal poolside. My only gripe with the whole encounter was that there weren't any extra utensils for us, but I appreciate the ranch for the kid's meal. The food had decent portions and tasted great! It was a nice experience, enjoying the meal by the pool after a morning of swimming and enjoying Pismo Beach. read more

Located right off highway 101 (Price St/Shell Beach Rd exit) with plenty of parking and less than a mile from downtown. Since our hotel was nearby, we just ordered online for pickup, and it did not disappoint! We tried the 'Cajun Chicken Pasta' and the 'Cowboy Mac'. Both were excellent choices, though they just needed a pinch of salt to really bring out the flavor. The ingredients were fresh, and the tri-tip in the mac was so tender, it complemented the dish perfectly. This sports bar is spacious and super clean. They have an awesome self-pour beer wall, a full bar, and TVs throughout with live sports. You can sit inside or outside, and the vibe is just really fun. Customer service was excellent; everyone I met while picking up my food was friendly and helpful. Their desserts looked insane, which will be a must-try next time! Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely be back when we're in town. I already can't wait to have that Cowboy Mac again. read more

We stopped by Blast & Brew for dinner with four people and our Goldendoodle, Bailey, and had an overall great experience. We were seated outside immediately, and the staff even rearranged tables to comfortably accommodate our group. Our server was friendly, checked on us frequently throughout the meal, happily brought to-go boxes when we were finished, and was very accommodating to both us and Bailey. She also brought Bailey a water bowl after we asked, which we appreciated. One thing that stood out was that we weren't initially offered waters for the table. It felt a little unusual that each of us had to ask individually before receiving water, especially since that's typically one of the first things brought to the table. My mom and aunt enjoyed using the self-pour beer wall, where you load a beer card and pay by the ounce, my brother ordered a soda, and I had a cocktail. It just seemed like a missed opportunity to make a better first impression. The food was definitely the highlight. We started with the giant Bavarian pretzel, which was a great appetizer for sharing. The only thing we would have changed was having a little more cheese sauce because the pretzel is so large. My brother and I split the Cowboy Mac & Cheese, and paired with the pretzel it ended up being the perfect amount of food for both of us. My mom enjoyed her burger and fries, and my aunt's birria tacos looked incredible with the consommé for dipping. Everything we ordered was flavorful, well prepared, and generously portioned. After dinner, we loved being able to take Bailey for a walk thanks to the nearby beach access, which made for a really nice way to end the evening. My only real disappointment was the patio layout. The ocean views are mostly reserved for the indoor dining room, while the main patio faces Highway 101. There are only a couple of outdoor tables with an ocean view, but they don't have umbrellas. Since it was a warm afternoon, we had to choose between sitting in the sun with a view or sitting in the shade without one, so we opted for comfort. It feels like adding a few umbrellas to those ocean-facing tables would make a huge difference and allow more guests to actually enjoy the coastal setting. Overall, we had a great meal with friendly service, good food, and a welcoming atmosphere for Bailey. With a few small improvements to the patio and a stronger first impression by offering waters to the table, this would easily be a 5-star experience. read more

i had fish tacos for the first time here. the experience was life-changing. the fish tacos were amazing. you can tell by the taste that it is all very fresh. the tacos are very packed with everything from fish to veggies and seasonings and sauces, all so yummy! my boyfriend kail said that everything they put on the fish tacos is good. especially the sauces like it has very good chipotle aioli, pico de gallo, and lemons on the side!!! we also got the 5-piece chicken tenders. they were cooooked perfectly and were nice and crispy and tasty. the tenders are giant!!!!! the ranch was spectacular and they gave a lot of it!!! the taproom/house fries were also very good. they were warm and seasoned well. they're small and skinny which i like. they gave a lot of them too which was awesome :) we did a pick-up order but the ambiance on the deck and the inside of the restaraunt was decorated very cutely and with a cohesive black and red aesthetic. it was a nice social setting. there was a bar, billiards, and it seemed like there was a large downstairs area. we ordered online through the website and the food was ready exactly when it said it would be (exactly 20 minutes). getting the food inside the restaraunt was quick and easy. the employees were incredibly helpful in helping us get our food. we noticed they placed our food in insulated containers while they waited for us to arrive. it was very nice. definitely come here if you're hungry or looking for a fun spot in pismo! read more

I've been holding off on reviewing this place for a while due to what happened. It might be minimal to some, but it's been three months and I'm still really bothered by it. I went there for the first game of the World Cup in June, which was Mexico versus South Africa, the food was great. The bartender was great however, the manager decided that he was not gonna change the the sound system to the game audio, and instead left the music playing during the World Cup game stating that it wasn't an important match and they will change it to the game audio in the later rounds of the World Cup, considering maybe more than half of the people there were there to watch the game, he suggested we download a application that would allow us to listen to the game on our phones, now looking back at it and going to many restaurant and venue that showed the World Cup games, this specific location was the only location not to have the game audio and they thought it was convenient for us to get the application however, looking back at it now it was rather ridiculous. Again, it was months ago, and I'm still thinking about it. 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

We had a delicious lunch at the Pismo Blast and Brew today. Alejandro our server was kind enough to substitute tri-tip instead of grilled chicken on their chicken club sandwich(my go to sandwich).

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

We come here often when we're in Pismo. It's usually easy to get a table, even on a weekend. I got the Asian chicken salad and a watermelon martini, husband got steak frites and everything came out good. We always been a good experience here! I do wish they had a seltzer on their tap wall. Parking is mixed with the Sea Crest hotel, so in a busy weekend parking can be difficult. But weeknights are usually fine! 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

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

The food here is great, but the service sucked. Two nights in a row and both waitresses were horrible with service. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Also asked to change the soccer game to the baseball game and they couldn't do it. Nobody was watching the soccer game and they still wouldn't change it. He said that there rules. 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

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

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, you are a gem! 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

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

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.
