    Loaded fries
    Alyssa V.

    Smash burgers were yummy! Their fries were just as good! They serve breakfast all day. Their breakfast sandwich was delicious

    Menu

    Food: 3.75. Came by on a Sunday just before noon. Place is a very small place with no designated parking or outside seating. I was attracted to their cooking with beef tallow. I ordered their Loaded Tallow Fries ($7). I requested the fries to be well done since they will be smothered with the cheese, bacon, sauce and onions. Food was delivered timely and at the right temperature. Taste was good but I think a bigger fry size than shoestring would be better. The fries probably would have been better by themselves because of the fry size. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. For the most part, expect to take your food to go because the of the limited seating.

    Menu as of 6/12/26

    First and foremost, pricing is decent especially for a tourist area Get the tallow fries ($4), they are the best thing on the menu, absolutely delicious with any sauce, I regret not getting the loaded fries ($7) but honestly a sunny day and a bench by the beach would make a perfect trip to Pismo The Double Oklahoma (OK) Smash Burger ($10) really lives up to its name because it is smashed and it is really just okay. Like nothing special, very wet, a metric ton of onions, but absolutely no flavor. Falls apart in your hands and is very messy. I added an egg ($2) and that did nothing to help in any substantial way. All bark no bite kinda burger, skip this place and go to Hoagies or Cool Cat for a decent burger. But again the tallow fries are the freaking best, the most crispiest fries with amazing crunch and flavor. Service was great, if you call in you can pay when you pick up, online you gotta pay with card at checkout but the prices are the same as in store and over the phone which is really nice. Everybody inside was cool and cordial. If you want a smash burger then go for it, but if you want an experience maybe try some place else.

    A little hole in the wall. Totally worth it.

    Okay, wow! The best smash burgers in town. I ordered the cheeseburger without grilled onions and my husband with grilled onions. We shared the loaded fries that were to die for. Oh and hibiscus lemonade also great! Definitely a 5 star rating. It really feels like you are tasting a bit of Oklahoma!

    Menu is simple!

    Everything on the menu is great! We loved everything! Great service, BEST burgers, fries, tots and lemonade in Pismo Beach!

    Double cheese Burger with fries
    Daniel V.

    I gave this place a try while visiting Pismo Beach, and it was just. okay. The burger wasn't bad, but it also wasn't anything that really stood out. With so many good food spots in the area, I was expecting something a little more memorable. The food was decent overall, but I'd give it about a 5/10. Nothing was terrible it just didn't leave me wanting to come back. The staff was friendly enough, and the experience was fine, but for me the food didn't live up to the hype. Next time I'm in Pismo Beach, I'll probably check out a different burger spot instead.

    Simple menu, keeps things quick and easy!

    Great new quick eats spot in Downtown Pismo! The single smashburger was the perfect size for a light lunch, and I can't wait to come back hungry for a double and to share some fries. The burger patty was smashed thin and tasted fresh, and the onion crisps add great flavor and texture to the burger. The whole place is clean, and the service was fast and friendly.

    Loaded tallow fries, bomb!
    Charlie S.

    Wow, the burgers were amazing. I had the Oklahoma Smashburger. It was so good, piping hot, messy, awesome solid burger. also had the loaded tallow fries. Those were freaking amazing. Wife had the smash burger with bacon and egg, she said it was great. The line went fast and food was out quick! The staff were nice people. It's a small place with a few tables, I suggest taking it to go and finding a table down the street. Don't forget to grab a tasty lemonaid! Anyway, We love this place. We will be back for sure.

    Strawberry Lemonade

    Delicious burgers and fries. Lemonade was bombastic and the staff was very friendly. Definitely coming back

    I went to this joint after a hike at the pismo preserve, i was very satisfied and the service was great i don't know if it was the owner or a manager who was also there but he added a sort of old school tough love talk with regulars and the workers it was refreshing to see that environment is still alive. The burger was just right with ingredient ratios and the tots were supper crisp id say crunchy and salty to perfection and the limited time hibiscus lemonade was refreshing and natural. I cant remember how much i paid but the food was delicious and i would definitely be going bk again.

    Single Smash Burger
    Jim S.

    Best thing - the very crisp "tallow fries." They were tasty and served in a decent portion, with a choice of three condiments. The basic burger is just that, basic. Fried onion crisps, sauce, cheese, pickle slices. Tomato - extra 50¢. Lettuce - extra 50¢ (seriously). The patty was sufficiently smashed, as it should be. But the bun was also, resulting in an unpleasantly smooshed sandwich. It tasted Ok, but looked rough. (Still can't get over the one-dollar upcharge for lettuce and tomato). The folks are friendly, and appear to like what they're doing ... this was on an "off" night, few tourists, on the eve of a big weekend. The place is really small - three tables and a couple of stools. I suspect most of the business will be takeout. All in all, it's doubtful this will be a "go to" place for locals, who can get a much better "smash burger" elsewhere (including L&T) without the hassle of Pismo Beach crowds and parking.

We shared the BBQ burger and were glad didn't each order a sandwich because this burger was plenty for two old ladies. We also ordered the tots and took some home. Very nice portions. Will def be back!

    Soooo...Brooks Burgers in Pismo Beach is apparently now their only venue (the location on Tank Farm…read moreroad in SLO changed a while back to "Petras"). We were sorry to see that location close down and extend our sympathies to Dallas (Owner) at having to close that location down (good help is so hard to find). Regardless, it won't keep us away from Brooks...cause the food is still "bangin". Yesterday's order was to go...we always ate "in" at the SLO location (just a "nicer ambiance") but always "take out" from Pismo (not thrilled with the fact that there is an added "take out fee" for this on your bill). Jaxon was our Order/Cashier associate on this occasion. He was personable in service and knowledgeable with regard to menu offerings. The restaurant wasn't as busy as I expected at 7PM but it took "a bit" to get the order out. Nevertheless..it was "on the money accurate" (exactly what we ordered/wanted) and that in my opinion...is worth waiting for. Our order : 2X Black and Blue Salads (4/5...yummy) and a Crispy Chicken Combo with Tater Tots (5/5...delicious). I had a "Combo Coupon" ($10 Combo instead of regular price), but still the bill was basically $43 dollars. Somewhat of a "value factor" because with a salad each, we were able to share the Crispy Chicken and were completely satisfied with our meal. Dallas (Owner) was already gone for the day, so we missed saying "hi". In this Yelper's opinion...on this "take-out" occasion because the food is still really "bussin", Brooks Burgers in Pismo Beach truly earned this 4 Star review.

Since the weather was gorgeous and we had our dog with us, we chose to sit outside. Street parking can be a bit tight due to beachgoers and nearby shops. Their menu covers breakfast, burgers, tacos, fish & chips, salads, soups, and hot or cold sandwiches, plus beer and cocktails. We ordered the 'Cuban Sandwich' (hot pulled pork, ham, provolone, mustard, mayo, and pickles on a perfectly toasted, soft French roll) and the 'Turkey Sandwich' (cold). Both came with curly fries and were fresh and yummy. Personally, I prefer chips over fries with a cold sandwich, but the food was still excellent. Customer service was top-notch. Shout out to Gabriel for being welcoming and friendly. We had a great lunch and will definitely be back to try more.

Ambience was nice, I enjoyed the rodeo events on the tv, I'm a barrel racer and rodeo attendee as well so that was fun to see. Waitress was very nice, I don't remember her name but she had cool tattoos and orange hair, she was bringing us refills without us having to ask, and the service was extremely quick. We were a party of 6 and our food came out in less than 10 minutes, even though the restaurant was pretty busy. I enjoyed the open windows so fresh air could flow in and out as well. As for food, I ordered the hula chicken sticks and a side of white rice. Omg. Sooooo yummy!!!! both my entree and side were piping hot and perfectly fresh. Chicken was cooked thoroughly and was very tasty alongside the pineapple. White rice was perfectly cooked as well. We will definitely come back here next time we drive up to Pismo! I also very much enjoyed seeing what was gluten free on the menu, and the gluten free substitution was amazing. I'm so glad to see representation and inclusivity like this. My sister also enjoyed the dairy free options. Overall we went home with a peace of mind. None of us got sick!
