Great food, friendly and fun with great golf course views. Fridays... only Fridays.... Get the BEST clam chowder in the area. SLO county takes pride in their clam chowders for real and for real... this is the best. Real clams and a LOT of them in every cup or bowl. read more

Came her for a tasty burger but instead got a pre-maid frozen patty. I DO NOT recommend it. When I asked the waitress if these weren't homemade but frozen she looked at me strait in the face and lied. I'm from Texas and huge meat eater, I already knew. She didn't ask me if I wanted something else instead. I ate it because I was starving but it was pretty gross. read more

We found the butterfly grille while house hunting located on a beautiful golf course in Nipomo CA. Looking at the menu I ordered the standard haystack which comes with pancakes, eggs sausage or bacon. I ordered it with sausage. Our food arrived and on the plate was sausage patties I asked for links the server said they do not have them just the patties. After that it went down hill . I had to flag down a server to refill my coffee for the first time and she never came back to check on us to see how are meal was. We had fished our meal when our server finally arrived with a coiffed pot and said can I too that off?. I said no someone already had and asked for the bill. Really bad service she took our dirty plates when she came back with the credit.card. This is considered a. Upscale place. I won't be back. read more

Went there for the first time I was not impressed with the food They didn't provide bread No choice of desserts. and expensive. Will not go back read more

Not your average golf course grill. Food was spectacular. Enjoyed the fish and chips and tri-tip quesadilla.

The food was fine, but compared to a normal cold course cafe it's amazing and the views are great and service is fast. read more

Sometimes the biggest difference between one neighborhood restaurant and another is consistent and terrific customer service. Servers at Butterfly Grille go above and beyond time and time again. That is why I will continue to choose Butterfly over other nearby restaurants. Good job Butterfly read more

The food and the service is really great. The views of the golf course and water feature are incredible.

Their Phili Cheesesteak was amazing. Not greasy, full of flavor! Everyone is super nice - shout out to our amazing server Lily. Can't wait to go again, the view is incredible at sunset. There are outdoor fire pits and chairs - overlooks the lake towards the ocean. Love it. Full bar!!! read more

They do a good job at breakfast, and their Monday evening 5-7 pm $5 taco special (2 hard shell beef tacos with rice and beans). Drinks are pretty affordable, and food is well prepared for dine in or to go. Staff is always friendly. read more

Butterfly Grille - Patio open with heaters. - American Near Me - Nipomo, California

Love the food here. I can't give it five stars. It's a golf restaurant with good food. The best part are the chips. Forget the fries! Go with the chips! Yum delicious! read more

Great food .. great service! Nice view of the golf course. Wish the interior was a bit better looking.

Had the most delicious Cubano sandwich. If you order get it with extra pickles. It improves the taste immensely. You can have a choice of side dishes (ie. Salad, beer batter fries, onion rings, house made potato chips). I recommend the fries. Truly delish!! read more

Very unassuming place. You would think it's just a golf hang out. The food is great. Everything so far has been great. I appreciate how nice the staff are.. read more

Don't waste your time and money read my review from 2023 and others that give them the same reward of 1 star

Great 19th hole ambience. The pro shop is also connected to the restaurant and they seem to have the latest equipment and all the top brands are represented. I wish they had local golfwear juggernaut Straight Down represented but I'm sure they'll make a deal soon. Service was friendly and welcoming. read more

Thanks for the reminder yelp to review this place for some reason I forgot. Our server number was 751 don't remember her name but she was very good and attentive. So I pick this place because most of the girls in the group there were three others had never been here before. Excellent menu so much to pick from it was hard. We talked and talked and talked paid our bill talk some more and then order dessert. I would definitely come back again for lunch maybe even breakfast. Oh I had a club sandwich but the small version which was perfect and I even had leftovers. Everyone enjoyed their food and a nice atmosphere. read more

Just tried the Pulled Pork Sliders. Insert firework show. Magical. Incredible melt-in-your-mouth pork on some toasted and soft brioche commingling with a delicate Chipotle coleslaw. I gave this place a shot way back when because my boys get a little "hangry" after playing First Tee (golf lessons and character development program for kiddos) here at Monarch Dunes and the Grille is here to help. Food is tasty, service is friendly, and it's usually quiet. Amy is always working and she is very personable and helpful. Try the basket of french fries to share with your friends. The onion rings are also good. The coleslaw is made on sight and the menu has lots to choose from as far as entrees are concerned. My boys like the huge hot dog which they split and I enjoy the tuna melt, the sliders, and the burgers. You're good to go here! read more

Excellent service. So clean you could eat off the chair ! Good food. Fish and chips good Burgers excellent Staff very attentive and helpful! read more

A wonderful place for a special lunch. Delicious sandwiches, beautiful view out across the golf course. Loved the fries and onion rings. Had the tomato basil melt and while pricey it was worth every penny (plus enough for lunch the next day). read more

We used to love dining at the Butterfly Grille but we've noticed that the food is not as good as it used to be. We shared a quesadilla and the amount of chicken was minimal. There was chicken in one quarter but there were only a few pieces of finely diced chicken in the middle of the other 3 pieces. It was mostly cheese. We ordered take-out or else we would have mentioned it to the server. read more

My Tri tip scramble and his breakfast burrito were both good. Reasonable portions. The place was clean and staff friendly. Can't wait to try their lunch or dinner. read more

A little hard to find but alas discovered that patio overlooks Monarch Golf Course at Trilogy. Although I don't live there, they kindly cater to the public, and service was friendly and lunch was pretty tasty. I had the grilled mahi-mahi burger on brioche with beer battered fries which hit the spot! The large Arnold Palmer in the paper soda cup was very weak so I don't recommend that, but otherwise good overall experience and a great find. read more

We had the corn beef and cabbage that had more celery than cabbage and the corn beef was under cooked and tough, how does one under cook corn beef and cabbage? read more

We eat here a lot. Because we live in Trilogy, it's convenient. We enjoy eating on the deck outside. The service is usually very good. Our favorites are probably the grilled chicken salad and roast beef sandwich. It's a much more pleasant experience than Adelina's. read more

Menu has variety and the staff is very attentive. Beautiful setting on the golf course.

Only been there for lunch and I love sitting out on the patio. I tried their burgers and sandwiches which were all delicious. Even sitting on the patio the service is good, read more

Okay, I've already had breakfast here twice. I'd rather pay a little more and get a better meal up at the clubhouse (Adeline's). The breakfast food was okaayyy...The "over medium" eggs were very runny both times. The coffee came with it's own dead moth. The bacon was good - thick cut! The scrambled eggs are from one of those big bags of "scrambled egg product" that you'll encounter at cheap buffets. Not cool. Still, their sandwiches and salads are fantastic. Remember: they close at 7pm. read more

This place has a nice view. Breakfast was limited no veggie omlets. Everything is meat and potatoes. What I did eat was tastey. Seating outside with heaters due to covid. Mostly for the golfers. Opens early. read more

Great place too eat, great view staff amazing. But recently they are charging more for drinks have to pay for single or double

Living in Nipomo leaves me with a limited number of restaurants to choose from. Thankfully there's the Butterfly Grill. The food is reliably delicious and the prices are very reasonable. When doing take-out, it's ready when promised. When so many businesses have shortened hours these days, BG is open daily till 7pm. All in all, it's hard to beat! read more

I enjoy their atmosphere, their food, their staff, and their prices. They keep the place very clean too. Worth every penny.

I thought I left a review before, but was mistaken. Anyway better late than never. The food and service here are great. All the servers are fast, friendly and helpful. Tonight we had Craig, and he has a great sense of humor while being a great server. That being said, I have to say ALL the servers are great. I usually get a tuna melt, one of the best ever. But, the daily specials can be really good. I have also really enjoyed the fish and chips. My wife loves the dinner salads. Don't forget the 805 on draft. Overall, this place takes golf course food up a notch. read more

Had lunch here. Very pleasant staff answering all our questions with a cheerful attitude. Had the Southwest Chicken salad served Cobb style which I love so you can see every ingredient and mix as you want. Chicken was super flavorful and moist. Hubs had the grilled tuna on sourdough. He loved the fresh dill that was added added and loved the onion rings that were huge! Our son had the fish tacos and enjoyed them - full of flavor Nd not dried out. Water was not good- Tasted like metal. Don't think it was filtered. Overall a good experience. Would recommend. read more

Decent golf course food, great view...if on the outside patio. Eaten here a couple of times. Taco night was a zoo, so many people and a long wait for mediocre tacos. Philly cheese steak, "awesome" burger (kinda greasy), and chicken sandwich were just ok...nothing special. Beer batter fires are good and less greasy than their burger. read more

Look. I'm a golfer, a drinker and an eater. This place is like friggin' Heaven on Earth. It's like BOOMER's for a guy my age. They got the big screen wall TV with the fire pits. I wish this place were my backyard. If you're the kind of guy that knows what he likes then you'll love the Butterfly Grille and the Monarch Dunes golf course. I'm tellin' ya. Tell em' Stevie Martini sent ya's read more

Great food at a very fair price. Craig was our server and he was amazing! Ask him about "Female leprechauns" = - ) We went here because of the good reviews and the better views and we were not dissapointed. read more
