Stopped at Lahaina's for lunch and had a nice experience. My hubby ordered the special--clam chowder in a bread bowl--and I went with the grilled chicken BBQ ranch wrap. The wrap was tasty and very saucy, which I enjoyed, though for the price I was a bit surprised it didn't come with a side. The clam chowder was served piping hot and was really flavorful. The cashier was friendly and happy to offer suggestions, which we appreciated. Since it was such a nice day, we ate at the outdoor tables, but there were plenty of tables inside too. The interior has a casual, sandwich-joint vibe. Overall, a solid lunch stop with good food and friendly service. read more

First time visiting this place in San Luis Obispo. I like the food served here. Very fresh and tasty fish. Also enjoyed the piping hot, crispy fries served with the meal. The store owner is very funny guy. :) Will visit again the next time my family and I are visiting San Luis Obispo. read more

The cashier was very friendly, looked like the owner but I am not sure. There is no ac at all, the 1 star deduction. It was quite hot inside despite a floor fan on the floor. Fish and chips tastes good. We were a party of 4 and ordered the family bucket and 2 clam Chowder. An spin of clam Chowder, lots of potatoes. Fish, calamari and shrimp were fresh. Good local store. Lots of locals coming in. Price was decent. read more

Amazing flavorful food! Extremely friendly staff and atmosphere as well. Definitely try the Hawain sandwich!

The owner was nice enough to make it for my partner and I as it was our first time visiting. Beautifully seasoned and shrimps were juicy and delicious! read more

We stopped here on a road trip and would not return. Expensive and over fried food. The coconut shrimp was around $19 and burned in the oil and undercooked inside. The service was unfriendly and unwelcoming. The restaurant did not look clean either. Unfortunately, there's a lot that needs improvement at this business. read more

Lahaina's - Burnt coconut shrimp - $19 - Burgers Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

Lahaina's is beyond doubt, the best place for a high-quality fried seafood in the city of San Luis Obispo their fries aren't bad either! We absolutely love them. We rejoiced. To see the original owner back yesterday and we hope that the tradition continues. We have our favorite places in Morro Bay, but since we're in our mid 80s, we can't always get out there. In the meantime Lahaina's more than does the trick for us with high-quality very fresh fish, delicious crisp calamari, clams and fish. read more

Great food. I went for dinner. The service was impeccable and the hostess is a real cutie. The ambiance of the restaurant is very calming. It is a must try type of restaurant. I got the fish n chips and it was very delicious . This place is a 5 just off of the gorgeous smile on the hostess. read more

Lahaina's - Out front seating - Burgers Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

I was very excited when the reviews said that this was the best place for fish and chips and that it's a must stop for SLO. It was my first time at Lahaina's, but it's always intrigued me as it's in the trader joes parking lot. Upon entering it was very warm in the store which i thought would be fine, but honestly it was slightly unbearable. Besides that, the customer service was nice and quick, no problems there. The positives: tartar sauce by itself was actually pretty good! It's on the higher end of other tartar sauces i've tried. Their fries were absolutely delicious, I love that their house fries are crinkle cut and they were nice and hot and crispy as soon as they came out. The fish however, although very nice and hot, just tasted rubbery. It had a frozen fish stick texture to it that i would simply not expect from a place where fish and chips are rated so highly. It was also sort of, bland? I felt as if the breading had no salt and was in desperate need of some seasoning. I would recommend this place to check it out, but probably would never order the fish and chips from here again. read more

Lahaina's - Fish and chips - Burgers Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

Sorry, but yesterday my family and I tried the four pieces of fish and fish combo. The fish is made in a flour only coating which did not give a lot of taste. The only taste on the fish was old oil on the French bread, fries, and fish. The clam chowder tasted like flour, it did not give you the taste of cream. Honestly don't recommend we spent over forty dollar it went into the trash at the restaurant. Change the oil you fry more often, fry fish in a beer batter, and improve clam chowder recipe maybe with heavy cream. read more

I want to complement this place after eating hereabout five times. I pop in after shopping at Trader Joes. The food is always excellent in terms of quality ingredients, freshness and preparation. I usually order fish and chips which is better than in any place in Morro Bay in my opinion. Yesterday I had a "cuban plate" --rice sauteed fish and cole slaw. Everything was delicious--fish spiced just right, coleslaw dressed just right, rice a nice sort of pilaf. I left fully pleased and satisfied on every level! read more

Really, I like this place. I think the owner cares about his business and his customers. I had concerns in the change in the fish of the fish and chips platter. He explained they are now cutting the fish so the center line is gone. Right there, just cutting your fish tells you how fresh it is. My friend had the Hawaiian sandwich. It was very large and yummy. Grilled chicken breast with pineapple and teriyaki. Staff takes care to keep the place clean, wiping down the self serve soda machine. There is a good variety of bottled beers, including Big Wave. It was a very enjoyable lunch stop. Check it out, you won't regret it. read more

Awful. Top to bottom. Bad ingredients. The brand new cashier completely botched my order(I'm not lowering the score due to this). 30 minute wait when it wasn't busy at all. This is the 3rd time I've been. I keep trying different things and hoping but its just wishful thinking. Shame on me at this point. Also the prices are awful. A plain chicken sandwich and a soda(no fries or sides) came out to $19. One of the worst places to eat in SLO. If Golden Gong ever closes, these guys may win the title. read more

Food was fresh and delicious! We tried the Cajun fish tacos, clam chowder, California burger, shrimp cocktail, and fries. Cajun fish tacos included two tacos topped with cabbage, shredded cheese, and a lightly seasoned sauce - served on corn tortillas. Clam chowder was available in a bread bowl or cup. Fries were very crispy and hot, burger was big and looked great! Shrimp cocktail was average but nothing wrong with it. Overall a good meal and a decent price for 5 people. Restaurant was completely empty when we arrived, so I was hesitant but glad we stayed. read more

Cool joint....reminds me of like a burger joint in hawaii, sorta. Lol I asked da kine. I say, uncle you from maui ..he say no ...u guys? Uh no. Ha Ha. I guess he hispanic? Anyways, ya its a nice decorated like da island kine burger joint ...i guess fitting for SLO kine eats Plenty parking in da shopping area Its located accross a Trader Joe. We got the fish n chips combo and some onion rings read more

I was in SLO for work and Yelped fish n chips and this was at the top of the list. The staff were very friendly and quick. The restaurant was very clean. The fish was flaky with a great batter but unfortunately it was just missing something. Maybe a little more seasoning. The fries or chips were outstanding read more

I like all food, especially the tacos.... I love todo estaba demasiado rico la sopa le gusto mucho a mi hijo

This is the BEST breakfast burrito I've ever had. The salsa is also to die for. Great customer service, clean establishment and truly a hidden gem. Will absolutely be back!! read more

Was in the mood for fish and chips and saw the reviews here on Yelp. Reasonably priced and well prepared. It was obvious the oil used for frying was fresh, and the batter on the fish was tasty and not a bit greasy. Good chips (fries) as well. My only critique would be on the fish itself. Rather than light and flaky, it was a bit chewy with a bit of a "fishy" taste. Not sure if that's due to the type of fish used or its freshness. Service was prompt and friendly, and the Hawaiian decor made for a nice casual ambiance. All in all, a nice place for lunch. I'd give it another go to see if the fish could be a bit more tender and flavorful. read more

I had 4-piece fish 'n chips and a large bowl of clam chowder. It was certainly decent. Fish came out piping hot! What I like is it was not as greasy as other fish 'n chips places. The batter was just the right thickness. Chips were standard French fries. Clam chowder was very thick but decent amount of clams. You order at the front counter, and they bring out the food. Quick and nice service. It's a solid meal. read more

Came here around 4pm on a Monday. Place wasn't busy at all. Ordered scallops and chips and husband got a grilled chicken sandwich. The food was really good. The service was good. Seems like a small, family owned place. If we lived local we'd come here often. 4 stars given because our meal cost us almost $50 and we didn't feel like we had $50 worth of food. read more

I was not feeling well and ordered some food for the kiddos. I figured since it's close by it would at least be hot. I think tartar sauce is part of a fish and chip meal but apparently around here it gets forgotten...a lot. So I specifically asked for the ol' tartar sauce in my order notes but nothing showed up except 3 little ketchup packets who were not ready to do the job. I tried to review the restaurant on the app but there was no place for it. I think it should be included like the juice in a Beef au jus sandwich. Fish and chips without tarter sauce is like America without apple pie read more

Until today, it had been a while since I've eaten at Lahaina's. Their club wrap is every bit as good as I remember it. Absolutely delicious.

Really enjoyed the food here Was in the feel for burger and was with a group of +3 others. All ordered same but different style and the food was consistent , fast service with perfect cooked as ordered and great friendly staff. Will get better at taking pics and posting. But this is a must stop when in town read more

First time here. And last! Ordered the combo with fish, chips and small chowder plus drink. Chowder was outrageously thick and, if it had a single morsel of clam, I couldn't find it. The fish had a very odd rubbery consistency. This place is not that far from Morro Bay so no reason for not having decent fish and crab The fries were just ok. read more

Service was quick even at lunch time. Food was good. I really liked my fish combo. The chowder was delicious and I loved the way the fish was different from most all other fish and chip places. Son liked his cheese burger and daughter really enjoyed her Hawaiian chicken sandwich. Beware there is no need to order fries with every burger. Unless you eat a lot of fries. read more

Lahaina's - Fish combo. $16.99 - Burgers Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

I came here at 1:30 PM on a Sunday. Literally no one else here. I ordered a burger which I assumed came with fries but apparently I was wrong. I paid $22 for my meal, tip, and drink. It took 30 min to come out and no one else was ahead of me. Then when my food was brought out it was just the burger. I couldn't believe it! Expensive, small portions, and service takes way too long. Only reason it gets a 2 is that my burger was good but the negatives outweigh the positives. Take your money somewhere else. read more

Best breakfast burrito. Chorizo and bacon with the tomatillo salsa. Wish the salsa was mixed inside, but it's not so be sure to order a side of it. The burrito is huge, defo enough to split in half and share if you don't wanna have to go take a nap after and it's just under $10! read more

The food was really good. I got the Cajun fish tacos and my husband got the fish and chips. Both dishes were awesome. Customer service was superb. The owner brought us our meals and was very polite. His employee who initially took our order was kind of quiet and meek, but was nice as well. Would highly recommend if you want high quality food and good customer service. read more

I had just been talking with my friend about how disappointed I've been with the fish and chips in the area, which I don't think should be the case since I live smack dab in the middle of a bunch of coastal towns. I had seen this place many times before as it is very close to where I grocery shop. Initially when I saw the name Lahaina, I imagined some Hawaiian bbq yumminess since I just got back from maui. Not the case, a fish and burger place. I had the fish n chips and my daughter had the scallops and chips. We were also given some complimentary fried jalapeños to try. All was really good! The breading is nice and light and the fish pieces nice and big! The staff was very friendly and I was lucky enough to overhear a conversation between the owner and another customer regarding his chili rellenos (not on the menu). So I ordered some of those for next day. Literally the best rellenos I've ever had. He uses two different kinds of chilis, one more a spicy than the other. Not a lot of breading in these bad boys. The restaurant has plenty of parking, is clean, and has a tv inside. This is my new spot for fish of all kinds, and rellenos :) read more

Well, the fish tacos are good, but not as good as The Custom House in Avila Beach. This is my and my wife's opinion. That being said, the fish is nicely flackey and not over cooked. The problem is that the taco is mainly slaw and not enough fish. The salsa tastes as though it came out of a jar and it is mild. read more

The fish and chips were nice. Fish was high quality. My fiancé enjoyed the Cajun fish taco which were a good size.

Had Ahi Tuna Salad, Fish & Salad (decided to take a "healthy" route instead of ordering Fries) and a cup of coam chowder. All entrées portion were huge and resonably priced. I just deducted one star for the clam chowder. It was just OK - Had better before. With that said, I enjoyed the meal very much and recommend! read more
