    Tables outside of the hut
    Linh T.

    The fish and chips were perfectly fried with the right amount of breading so it didn't over power the delicate fish and flavorful tartar sauce. The fish was so fresh tasting and the skinny fries went perfectly with it! The clam chowder was a nice chunky consistency and tasty. For service, you order at the counter, get a buzzer and self service for condiments. Seating is outside of the hut with views of the marina. They don't serve beer but you can grab some at the bar next door. Plenty of parking all over so it's a perfect place to stop and have a quick bite!

    This is my favorite spot to stop at every time I'm in the area. Honestly they're the perfect chicken tenders. They do have quite a few items on their menu but it's my go to when I visit. It's also nice because you can sit outside and eat by the ocean. Their fries are also the perfect amount of crunchy. We ended up eating here two times during our trip because we love it that much. My friend also ordered the fish and chips, she had been craving it since we came a while back. Everything tasted soooo good :')

    Garlic fries

    On my way out of Morro Bay area, I saw Lil Hut Fish & Chips and was curious on its biz name so I dropped by to check it out. The exterior looks like a hut with the kitchen inside it. No inside seating, but there are outside seating. They have a good menu selections of fish & chips plus chowders along with burgers, hot dogs, salads, sides, and drinks. I went with their local favorite combo special that comes with 2 pieces of fried cod fish, garlic fries, cup of chowder, and garlic bread for $18.50. That was a pretty sweet deal! The young gentleman who took my order was nice. He gave me a buzzer and once my order was done, I got the buzz. Fried cod fish was very good... all fish lightly battered just the way I like it. It came with tartar sauce that I did not hesitate to use LOL. Garlic fries were surprisingly tasty. Chowder was so yummy... full of clams and other veggie ingredients. Garlic bread was decent... nothing spectacular. All in all, it was one delicious dinner! So glad I gave them a try. I would eat here again the next time I'm in Morro Bay. Thank you Lil Hut!

    Garlic fries and clam chowder

    My friend recommended I visit here during my visit to morro bay. Honestly I'm not sure why the reviews are as low as they are, this is a super solid spot! It's right on the water and has great views of the rock. The singular downside is the slow service at the window, but that's about it. The food, however, was exactly what my partner and I were looking for as a snack before heading to Santa Barbara. We got garlic fries and clam chowder. The clam chowder was great--perfectly creamy and suited the cold winter day well. The garlic fries may have been some of the best fries I've had. Nothing fancy about them, just super crispy with an amazing crunch with every bite. They were super generous with the garlic, as garlic fries should be! Will definitely be back on my next visit

    My partner and I came to Lil Hut for a snack on our Morro Bay trip and it was very yummy! It was a cute little walk up hut with a view of the water. We ordered the garlic fries and clam chowder; the clam chowder was very heart warming and I loved how much garlic were on the fries. The service at the window wasn't as fast as I would have hoped but the food made up for it. Definitely would recommend lil hut!

    Very good service, came out fast, lots of seating. Great serving sizes. Gave my dog water

    Had to come back and get the best fish & chips. It's hot, delicious, and the tartar sauce is the best. $17 is worth every penny. I have to get these everytime I'm in town and the view of morro rock and the smokestacks are iconic.

    Fries

    Absolutely TERRIBLE!!! Was Craving chili cheese fries and saw this place on the Google maps. I get there order my food and open the box there is few fries so I go back to the window to ask the cashier If I can please get a little more fries. He kindly takes the box hands It to the chef and tell him to put more fries. The chef gives me the dirtiest Look I've ever seen in my life, throws my box of food in the garbage and hands the cashier a new smaller set of fries to give to me !! He threw away my entire box then gave me this and the chef slammed the window to the order stand so I couldn't say anything about it! Do not come here !

    This is supposed to be a smash burger the burger is in fact not smashed.

    This place sucks burgers are dry they could not get my families orders correct twice over. They messed up and spent 10 minutes to fix it and then they did it wrong again. I would not eat here if you are looking for a good burger. Their patties are frozen and dry and pretty much a hockey puck.

    Tartar sauce-lots of dill, yum!
    Belen M.

    Honestly, some of the best fish and chips I've had in a while. These are not heavy at all, a light batter and delicious tartar sauce with lots of dill. My husband had the shrimp tacos and he enjoyed them, but thought the salsa had room for improvement. Prices may seem steep, but it is convenient (close to parking lot), fast (with little-no line and your food is ready fast) and tasty! Location- I that it was a order and pick kind of place. There are benches and picnic tables in the area but we couldn't tell if all were for here or another restaurant. Either way, we got ours To go. Snd I know some will dock a star for the location not being sit down, but for parents of an active 10 month old, man it's helpful to just pick up something delicious or to even be able to order something "to go" just in case the little one is not having it while we eat haha. The only thing I will say that has me docking a star-the service. There are young gentlemen working the cashier and their customer service skills could use some sprucing up. They have air pods in one ear AND ask you to repeat yourself, they aren't super helpful with descriptions, and just overall look like they'd rather not be there. No need for ducts bros level service, just less air pods and more "thank you's" or "have a nice day". Ya know?

    I was craving fish and chips so I came by here today since it was close by. The fish was good and I had the garlic fries which were ok. I also had a cup of their Clam Chowder which was just ok. It had a lot of celery and wasn't as rich and creamy as I was hoping, but I'm sure someone else would love it, just not my favorite. When I want chowder, I want lots of clams, potatoes and a rich creamy base!

Sorry to say this place is as many have said, a tourist trap. The halibut batter lacked seasoning it was practically tasteless. It's freshly fried however. Fries upgrade helped the fries only. The entire basket didn't taste much like anything and the tartar didn't help. The clam chowder was very salty. And I mean, very. It barely had clams in it and didn't taste rich and mostly had big cubes of potato. It was disappointing. The lines can get very long very fast. They have a good spot with greats views or Morro Rock. Parking is free everywhere to my knowledge.

We chose the Galley because we wanted steamed clams and were delighted by the choice. For a local place it was hopping! On a Wednesday. When we got there at 6pm there was a 30 minute wait. Luckily a spot at the cozy bar opened and we pounced. The bartender took our order shortly after we sat down and we didn't waste any time ordering clams. They came out quickly and were steeped in the most delicious broth, which we slopped up with soft pieces of bread. Will come back for these for sure. We were still a bit peckish so we ordered crab cakes. They were ok but we wouldn't order them again, had they been hotter may have made a difference. Next time maybe we'll get a window seat to be able to enjoy the view as well as the sumptious dinner.

They were nice enough to serve the entree on 2 plates and it was cooked to perfection! Our favorite was the clams! The sauce for it was different from your normal white wine garlic sauce. It was red without being too overpowering with the tomato! The crème brûlée was also not too sweet and amazing! -1 star for the guy that was the hostess. He took my number down and said he would call in about an hour when to come back. I purposely made my phone super loud so i would hear the call when the table was going to be ready. More than an hour passed so we walked back to check our place in line. He tried to say that he called 20 min ago but he said couldn't remember why it didn't go through and couldn't even come up with an excuse lol. I rechecked the number he wrote down which was correct. I had my partner call me and she had no problem. He promised us the next available seat. Another party after us literally went through the same thing as us where he claimed that he called but I'm sure he didn't. We got seated right away after so I'm glad we came back to check! Our server (i forgot her name but she had blonde hair) made up for it since she was super delightful! Aside from that i was looking for her to tell her it was my partners birthday but i only saw him. I asked if he could tell my server for me and he said yeah! They can put a candle on the dessert we order. He asked me what dessert but i didn't know what the options were yet so he said he would just tell my server anyway and we can pick. Lo and behold, no candle lol. That guy sucks

Our server, Paloma was so attentive to our 4 yr old son. He was served first thing, and not once was he overlooked or ignored.

The server actually caught my son when he managed to tip his chair back and she did it swiftly, without making a scene and told him she's done that before, so that he wasn't embarrassed or uncomfortable.

We arrived around 3:30 on a Saturday and the restaurant was moderately busy. Our table was in the interior dining room at the window (nice view). Our Server for this experience (Kate) presented us with menus promptly. Kate was fabulous...her service "spot-on", professional and very personable as well (thank-you Kate). Our order consisted of Drinks : A Lemon Drop (4/5 - the question here was if the cocktail actually contained alcohol. We were assured it did, but the drink was replaced non-the-less. The replacement tasted the same ‍..."our bad", but Kate didn't charge us for either!). A Sandy Beach (5/5 - ya...this cocktail is outstanding!) and a Big Sur IPA (5/5). Our ordered Mains: Mushroom Swiss w/ Bacon 2X - one w/ Beer Battered Fries, the other w/a Side Caesar Salad - (5/5 - a definite "go-to burger " cause it's sooo darn good) Bay Basket (Mahi Mahi w/double Coleslaw) - (5/5 delicious and enough to take home for another meal) Grilled Jalapeno Burger (w/egg and Bacon) - (5/5 - always a winner). The wait for our meal after receiving our drinks seemed remarkably short...yay! This occasion was a Birthday celebration meal for one of our party of 4...and Kate presented us with a very delicious piece of Carrot Cake which was large enough for all of us to share - (5/5...if we could give the Carrot Cake a "higher" score/rating we would. It is, as far as Carrot Cake goes, truly OUTSTANDING!) The dining experience couldn't have been better...Kate's service and customer service in "making it right" with the Cocktail and Birthday Cake, the atmosphere/view and the fabulous food didn't disappoint. Once again, on this occasion, in this Yelper's opinion...Morro Grill on the Embarcadero in Morro Bay truly earned this "really, ya gotta go and enjoy" 5 Star review!

The only thing I'd mention is that it can be a little pricey if you're dining solo, so if you're going on a date, be ready for your pockets to take a little dent.

Steak knife included with utensils, which came in handy because the burger was really slippery and I had to eat with a knife and fork!! Potatoes looked overcooked but that was because they are purple potatoes!! They tasted ok, luckily not too spicy like everything is these days. I liked the non-purple potato's texture better. Slow to refill my drink. I will come here again and have the wedge salad, from the pic it looks smaller than I expected this time around so it will be able to be eaten with a burger!!
