This is our go-to spot every time we're in San Luis Obispo for the weekend. The food is…read moreconsistently great, and the drinks never disappoint! My personal favorites are the Jalapeño Egg Burger and the Carnitas Tacos--I usually pair them with one of their light craft beers or a margarita. My wife loves the Avocado Egg Rolls and always goes for the Blackberry Seltzer when it's available. What really sets this place apart, though, is the atmosphere and the service. We somehow end up in the same section every visit, and Haley is hands down the best server we've had. She's always attentive, friendly, and makes us feel genuinely welcome every time. Finney's definitely made a great hire with her. We always look forward to coming back!

Burgers are very filling. Pretty tasty, although I really wish they'd add more of the extras. I got…read morethe burger with sour kraut on it and there was barely any. It's so inexpensive, load it up. The tots and garlic parm fries were delish. My friend had a beer and said it was great. My only other complaint was, it was very cold outside and they had the back door open. Most people were sitting at their tables in coats. I prefer to take my coat off and relax a bit.

I'm 80% okay now, 9 days later. That's a steep price for 2 slices of a small pizza. My family & I love this place so it's a loss. Just a word to my fellow Celiacs, I don't trust their kitchen. Whatta bummer because that artichoke pizza of theirs was my all-time favorite pizza. Petra, please inform your staff that takes orders and add it to your menus.

There were also a lot of new faces students and locals who have taken up frequenting McCarthy's. The food was hot and earthy, a great Jambalaya served in bowls. The crawfish was the star of the show, with the rosy red beasties arriving hot from the pot, steamed and juicy. Corn, potatoes, and bread came with the crawfish. It was fun to watch the attendees learn to eat the little crustaceans, everyone expressing their delight in the seafood. This was truly a wonderful celebration with a great heart and soul.
