    We always enjoy Lil Bits, wonderful service and great tasting food. Cooked to order, so it comes out hot. Lovely service and feel at home when we visit. Lots of seating indoors and outside too.

    Grover Beach Train Wreck
    Kristina F.

    Pleasant service and a kinda offbeat vibe, this little cafe has some really interesting offerings. I tried the Grover Beach Train Wreck, which was essentially a pile of fried potatoes topped with spicy chili topped with eggs (I did over easy), and then topped again with shredded cheese, chopped onion, and bacon. The server offered up some of their homemade green salsa from the back, which packed a major punch (and I say this as a spicy-seeker). Overall, the name of this dish was 100% spot on as it was messy as hell. It was a super generous serving and definitely covered two meals for me, which was impressive. It also came with a choice of more-different-carb, so I opted for a biscuit. It was surprisingly crispy on the outside and made for a nice contrast-y dessert bite when topped with their homemade jam. I recommend checking the spot out, and try to nab a seat outside.

    HUGE portions on the breakfast, shareable for sure. I got myself the works omelet and sub in bacon instead of ham. Bacon, bellpepper, onions, mushroom, cheese, avocado and topped with some sour cream! Really good meal Comes with house potatoes and your choice of bread , I went with sourdough. They also had home made salsa and jam that they provided at the table. Service was amazing and very attentive. You can either sit inside or outside. Plenty of space.

    Food was wonderful for a nice in the cut breakfast spot. You can get the eggs however you want them. Unfortunately the servers were not as friendly and it affected my experience . Maybe because it was really busy on Valentine's Day and they were overwhelmed. Regardless the food was good

    The "Popeye" with wheat toast and coffee; just awesome!!!
    Jason S.

    Food is always great and portions are substantial. Service is great every time- I usually sit at the counter when it's just me but there is plenty of seating in front and in back of the place. Ordered the "Popeye," which is my go to breakfast (spinach, bacon, mushrooms all on top of home fries). A MUST with breakfast is their homemade salsa which is hotter than hell; but SO DAMN GOOD! This place is a Grover Beach institution- come here and eat well!

    Dirty windows, torn screen, peeling paint, food on carpet.

    Both the food and the service is good,BUT the restaurant just needs to be cleaned up. The windows were dirty, the screens were torn, nobody had picked up the crumbs and bits of paper off the carpeting, the paint was peeling off the walls. The food wasn't cheap, but good. Coffee was $4.50 which seems high. But the main reason we won't be back as it just seemed dirty inside

    Homemade corn beef and hash!!!

    I never asked for corn beef and hash, but I had it here one time and I've been addicted every since! It's homemade and it really has such great flavor. I highly recommend the corn beef and hash.

    The happy couple!

    Amazing home made food! The country scramble and Popeyes scramble will keep us full til dinner! Great coffee but best of all service is on point!

    The prices here are really good. The food is really great. The bacon and the sausage are cooked the way I enjoy it not super crispy and crunchy but just good pancakes were great eggs were on point and the potatoes were really good too. There was one server to handle the whole restaurant so you can't complain about things that take long but everything was quick and fast. Definitely coming back here when I'm back in town.

    Are we back to a new normal where we can eat at the counter again?

    I believe so. When I ate there a little while back we sat at the counter

    What do you put in your gravy? We don't eat pork so I wanted to ask ahead. Everything looks delicious!

    I believe it's sausage gravy. Most breakfast gravy is made with either sausage or bacon grease.

    An Unforgettable Birthday Dinner with Breathtaking Ocean Views!…read more We came to Ventana Grill in Pismo Beach for a Sunday night dinner date to celebrate my wife's birthday. This place definitely gets packed, so I highly recommend reserving a table in advance. We were lucky enough to get a window seat, and the outdoor patio views of the ocean are simply amazing! On top of that, the staff here has definitely become even more friendly--our server, Zach, was super efficient and attentive throughout our meal. The food was incredible from start to finish: * Mahi Mahi Fish Ceviche: We started with this alongside fresh tortilla chips, and it was honestly one of the best ceviches we've ever had. * Clam Chowder Soup: This special clam chowder came served with Parmesan cheese bread, which was absolute perfection. Again, hands down one of the best soups we've tasted! * Molcajete Surtido: For our main dish, we ordered this classic feast loaded with grilled colossal shrimp, arrachera steak, chicken breast, chorizo, spring onion, jalapeño peppers, nopalitos, avocado, pork rinds, molcajete salsa, queso fresco, and corn tortillas, served with a side of rice and beans. All the meats were so tender and flavorful, and the rice and beans were really nice. We were so full that we didn't even get to touch the tortillas! To top off a wonderful evening, they brought out a complimentary ice cream with a candle to celebrate my wife's birthday, which was such a thoughtful and sweet touch. Whether you're planning a special date night or a family outing, we definitely recommend Ventana Grill!

There was a wedding on the patio, which was fun to witness from our booth and plenty of activity from the ocean life we could view. Overall, a delightful experience!

It was beyond delicious, and tended toward the best ever. After near countless Pizza's from their sister next door store, this was only the second time for me to try their main restaurant. As typical in Pismo Beach, the venue was packed with noisy tourists, and this distracted from the meal. Another issue was that the dish was very rich, as in saturated with oil to cook the veal in...so this did not sit well in my intestines. Combined with the oil and garlic for their house bread, this caused some distress hours later. Do I regret it? No, it was that good. I will try to not wolf it down next time and take half for take out. I think if I moderated the richness with some side veggies and some rice, it would agree more with my dietary issues. As far as Stracci di Vitello, this was something that I never tried in my hometown of Bensonhurst Brooklyn, nor in the countless great Italian places in the city. It was something that I may have tried in my two weeks in Italy decades ago, but it was so long ago, most meals faded into a blur. I would say that this main restaurant is great if their so called Italian American club is closed and you have a craving for a unique special. I never had real homemade, labor intensive, Pappardelle before, so I will now try to seek out this far superior form of pasta. My waiter, Guido, was fine, but the other staff from the IA club proved to more helpful. They not only went into detail on this dish and meaning of the words, but did recommend some great newer offerings at the sister IA Club... like Lamb lollypops and cooked beef roll ups, AKA, Beef Braciole....which is served in quieter environ.

    Zorro's -- Mexican Food & Sangria for the Win!…read more We were on the hunt for somewhere different from our usual Mexican food spots and somehow ended up at Zorro's. I'd never been, but my boyfriend had been here before for breakfast--apparently he had been holding out on me because he'd never tried dinner! The people were super nice, the food was solid, and most importantly... THE SANGRIA. Absolutely delicious! It may not be medically prescribed, but it definitely itches that Mexican-food craving when you need a fix. Was it the most life-changing meal we've ever had? No. But it was good, the atmosphere was friendly, and we had a great time. Sometimes you just need chips, salsa, Mexican food and a really good sangria to put the world back in order. We'll definitely be back--especially when the Mexican-food itch starts acting up again!
