Longanisa Glider
Amber Ashley T.

Came out to celebrate a friend's birthday trip and made a stop for pick up here. My entire party all ordered the Longanisa glider as we had a long drive from home and wanted to easily pick it up and go. The owner was so nice and advised us to call ahead to pick it up next time and even gave us complimentary drinks! The Longanisa Glider was ready a bit longer than before we came to pick it up and it was so delicious. The hashbrown was still perfectly crispy and the ube pandesal bun was not soggy at all! The longanisa patty with the egg and hash browns had all paired perfectly with one another. Probably best Filipino breakfast sandwich I've ever tried! They even added a complimentary ube pandesal as well, which was the sweetest. Apparently on Fridays and Saturdays after 5PM, they sell Hawaiian chicken! Hoping we can try it sometime during our trip, but definitely recommend to come here!

Made a stop by Lumpia Bros while visiting Pismo Beach for the weekend. We ordered an acai bowl, a glider, and lumpia fry pack. The acai was yummy and had the sweetest fruits on it! The lumpia fry pack came with 5 pcs. We noticed some of the pieces were a bit on the greasier side. They were good, but I feel like I've had better lumpia elsewhere. The glider was pretty tasty, no complaints there, perfect egg and crispy hashbrown. In total for the three items, it was about $40+, which we felt was a big pricey for what we had overall.

CalaMatcha

Where else can you try calamansi on the central coast? The only place I know is Lumpia Bros! I've been excited to try the CalaMatcha!! Made with calamansi and matcha, this refreshing drink is better than lemonade! It's the only one in the area and Lumpia Bros nailed it! Try it today!!!

Longanisa Slider with Ube Bun
Anmol L.

Food: 4.5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Space: 5/5 Likeliness to return: 5/5 The space felt very cool and personal. My partner felt welcomed and connected to their roots. Great service and live music played during our visit and created an atmosphere that made me want to stay longer and return in the future. I ordered the longanisa slider and thought it tasted great and offered something unique. There were many comfortable places to sit and talk. The experience felt fun and refreshing and stood out from the usual places we visit. I would gladly come back.

Lumpia Bros Cafe has been on my "to eat" list since I moved in 5 cities area! First of all, the place was decorated well and especially loved all the Filipino trinkets here and there. The vibe was awesome with live music playing in the background - it really got me nostalgic as I haven't been back in the Philippines since I was 9 years old. Service was amazing! They answered any questions we had regarding the food and were so nice and kind. For food, we got the ube matcha (6/10), tosino saturdays (6.5/10), and longanisa slider (8/10). My favorite was the longanisa slider, it was unique and just loved how flavorful it was! The ube matcha was good at first but after a couple sips, it really loses the flavor and didn't have a matcha taste as the ube overpowered it. The tosino saturdays was also good as it came with a lot of different entrees; however, I'm more used to the traditional way which is tosino, red egg, and patis! Overall, my experience was great. Definitely would like to go back and try their açai bowl!

Saw that there was a Filipino place in Grover and had to stop by. Lots of things on the menu and of course they all sounded amazing. I ordered the pork adobo plate and an Ube pound cake. Both really good. The pork was cooked to perfection. The lumpia was delicious. I wasn't a fan of the pancit - it just wasn't that flavor that I was used to. I understand everyone has their own recipe. I'm just used to all of my friends mom's pancit flavors. Of course the pork adobo can't beat my best friends mom's adobo but it was still delicious. It's nice to have a place to go to when you're missing and craving your "auntie's" cooking. The only thing was they didn't have prices for anything. Everything I ordered ended up being almost $70. If I had known I wouldn't have ordered the things that I did. I'll still come back though.

Iced Matcha Ube drink
Theresa P.

Stopped by on the way to SoCal and I'm so glad I did! I ordered an Iced Ube Matcha and it was absolutely refreshing with a nice delicate Ube sweetness combined with the earthy notes of Matcha. The drink was well balanced and just the right amount of ice and sweetness. Definitely a drink that I would come back for. The cafe is very homey with an island feel. Lots of memorabilia and cute merch like mini tote bags, stickers, and handmade earrings. Service was great and the owner checked on us to make sure everything was good. There's indoor and outdoor seating and an oversized blue couch for added relaxation.

I have been trying to come try out the chicken adobo and other Filipino dishes. I finally made it in today Chris the owner was very helpful since I did not know what to order or what. He suggested I try adobo combination plate. It was very good plenty for lunch and leftovers for work. We picked up a slice of lemon blueberry cake. They had other bread and sweet cakes available like cinnamon banana and I believe carrot cake and ube bread. A friend of mine made chicken adobo many years ago and I remember it being so delicious finally, there is a local place we can Some good adobo. It's such a cute little place. Well decorated inside very welcoming friendly people with smile they also serve tea and Matcha drinks. I hope to come back again.

Longanisa Silog Plate
Geanna T.

Lumpia Bros Cafe is a Filipino restaurant offering some traditional Filipino dishes along with smoothie bowls and cafe drinks. It was amazing! Service was impeccable. They truly treat everyone like family. During our meal, the owners/staff constantly talked to their patrons and had real conversations with them (including us). It was really lovely to see. It really created a homey vibe. Food tasted like home with a modern twist. The longanisa silog (usually called longsilog) featured their house made Longanisa. Truly a classic! Sweet longanisa with tangy vinegar, a runny egg, and rice. It was partnered with a lumpia on the side! The Longanisa slider was an absolute hit!! Featuring the same Longanisa but with a runny egg, fried hash brown, inside a warm ube pandesal bun. It was soo good. Drinks were also amazing! In all the drinks, the matcha or espresso was well-balanced with the ube or calamansi, creating a perfect blend on flavors. The inside was chill and casual. Perfectly matching the vibes of the owners/staff! If you're ever in the area, go support Lumpia Bros Cafe!

Great food. Great service. Awesome atmosphere with island vibes. Happy staff and amazing food. As someone from the SF Bay Area we struggle to find good affordable and authentic philipeno food. As the only white boy in my family I certainly can speak for all of us when we loved this spot.

Cool authentic homemade local Filipino eatery with casual relaxed Hawaii island ambiance....complete with smiles. We not only lived in Hawaii for many years, but have Filipinos as friends and family for decades, so we do know both Hawaiian food, as well as, Filipino food. While I have eaten Lumpia for well over 1/2 Century, I did not have them every other day until I moved from NYC to Hawaii. I tend to adore almost any sort of crunchy treat that is endemic to many Asian cuisines. Some may know these are Spring Rolls in Vietnamese or Chinese foods, but the Filipino versions can be different. While they are all called Lumpia, the fillings can vary, and at this place, there are at least two variants. One is filled with beef and are thicker, and the others are perhaps more Chinese, and are filled with pork and are skinny. The Skinny pork ones are my favs and are termed Lumpia Shanghai...and these are the ones to get IMHO. Of course, no menu is complete with Pancit, Adobo, and Lumpia all coexisting on the same Plate Lunch plate...as we enjoyed in Hawaii. One can save on the pricey flight and hotel, grab a Plate Lunch here and head over to Grover or Pismo Beach to pretend one was somehow Teleported to the islands...such as Kauai. To complete the Filipino experience, then one can also get the owners version of Halo Halo. It had all sorts of treats in it, such as Red Bean, Ice cream, corn flakes, Tapioca beads, a wafer straw, and even a topping of Flan. It is a refreshing and cool drink/ desert that most Americans have never tried before. The owner is a hoot and flies back and forth to Hawaii routinely and tends to bring back new ideas for the eclectic menu. The ambiance is relaxing and customers are treated like kings. This is like a faster food place, but with a homestyle vibe. It really reminds me of some of the local places in rural Hawaii, that may have a personal touch. They do have some weekend special options as well. If someone is new to the Filipino food scene, this is a good introduction to it, since what is serve here are some of the homemade staples that are made by Filipinos in Hawaii and even in the SLO area. Of course, one can also go to Debu Filipino grocery in Pismo to grab the ingredients as well, but you still would need to go here to find out how it should taste. This little place does a fine job of creating Filipino dishes. It is also a local place that should be supported by the community. P.S.- Do not forget to ask for the sauces to compliment your dish...such as Hot sauce, imported Asian Vinegar, Fish Sauce, etc.... In many cases, the condiments can make or break a dish.

Combo platter
Andy R.

We are familiar with Filipino food as one of our friends from Tarzana would cook Saturday meals. We ordered the combo platter to taste. It consisted of Lumpia (a type of spring roll) pork (was dry but the gravy saved it) white rice and glass noodles with vegetables. My wife ordered the mango lemonade which was surprisingly good. So why did I give four stars? I found two bones in the pork. When I mentioned it to the owner she said it was from cutting meat from the bone. I do not know of this was an aberration or not. These could have easily chipped a tooth or cracked a filling. I guess being a Casualty Underwriter for 37 years is commenting.

Longanisa glider
Sarah H.

One of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. And the açaí bowl was delicious. Wonderful customer service. Perfect little hidden gem here in Grover beach. Highly recommend!

Not very authentic and way too overpriced for what it was. Corn in lumpia was what really did it for me.

Almost Like Someone's Home…read more.... After a nearby doctor appointment, my wife and I were on the prowl for a late lunch (1 PM). She had a few really good experiences at Holy Belly so I agreed with her suggestion (smart guy). - Overall: 5 - Location: 5 - Ambiance: 4 - Menu: 4 - Food: 5 - Service: 5 - Price and Value: 5 - Parking: 4 - Bathroom: 3 - Location: On Grand Avenue by 9th Street. It replaced Darwish...a Middle Eastern restaurant. - Ambiance: Unpretentious. A neighborhood spot serving breakfast and lunch. Tables are neatly arrayed around the room to the right of the front door. - Menu: Not huge, but many interesting items. Everyone should be able to find something. - Food: Very good...and piled high. I had the "Oriental Garden Salad" ($13) with a piece of grilled salmon ($9). The menu described it as "crisp greens and shredded cabbage, sweet bell peppers green onions, cucumber and julienned carrots topped with golden wontons". Check out the photo. Lots of good tasting food. One note: The salad was slightly soggy. I'm glad they washed all the ingredients, but the kitchen needs to drain things a bit more thoroughly. My wife had Avocado Toast ($13) with smoked salmon ($8). She's quite picky about Avocado Toast, but said this was an excellent version. We each had a glass of Ice Tea ($5 each). - Service: Very friendly and warm. Holy Belly is family run and it feels that way. It's almost as if you've been invited into someone's home. - Price and Value: Perfectly reasonable. - Parking: Some on Grand Avenue with more on the side streets. - Bathroom: There are 2 restrooms. I only saw one and it was okay. Holy Belly is a nice addition to the restaurant scene in Grover Beach which is bound to get more competitive with the completion of large residential buildings down Grand toward Highway 1.

Stopped by Holy Belly on a Friday morning--more brunch time than breakfast--but we still went with…read morebreakfast, and I'm glad we did. I had the La Royale, which I'd describe as a decadent French toast sandwich loaded with thinly sliced grilled ham and gooey Swiss cheese. It was excellent. We also tried the ricotta pancakes with blueberry compote, which were equally delicious--light, flavorful, and a great complement to the savory La Royale. Prices were very reasonable, service was friendly and attentive, and the location was convenient with easy parking. Holy Belly is definitely going on our list of go-to breakfast and brunch spots the next time we're in town. Looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu!

Do I want to have to jostle against them as I fight my way in the next time I'm in Pismo? Well, the food here is so good that I've decided, when I win the lottery, that I'm moving to Pismo so I can live closer to Beachin' Biscuits. I was raised on biscuits and gravy. My Granny was from the OK Panhandle and I was unfortunate enough to live in West Texas for almost a decade while growing up. The one good part of that experience was biscuits and gravy (and chicken fried steak). Calling Beachin' Biscuits biscuits and gravy "legit" is to undersell them. These are special occasion B&G. Also, for the first time in my life, I felt like putting gravy on a biscuit was (almost) a crime. These biscuits are f***ing good! Even under layers of sausage, cheese, and gravy I could tell they were fluffy and buttery. Pretty sure these are the biscuits served in heaven. I write this review the day after my visit, having just finished eating my wife's leftovers - and yes, they reheat well. Maybe a few people will read this review and decide to inconvenience my next visit by being there, but I take solace in all the California moss munchers who will never know the joys of sausage gravy, and therefore, not interfere with my next visit to Beachin' Biscuits.

The waitresses were nice and friendly. I got the monte cristo and it came with homemade jam which was delicious. The sandwich was great and had lots of cheese. My husband got the eggs benedict and the eggs were overcooked but wasn't a huge deal for him. It came on a biscuit bed instead of english muffin which he liked. The potatoes were also different and good. It came with a homemade spicy salsa and it was BOMB. Highly recommend getting the salsa. Overall, there's a lot of brunch spots in the area but I thought this was a nice spot. Personally wouldn't think it's worth a wait but it was nice popping in on a weekday for brunch. Seems like a bunch of locals come by. Would recommend this spot for some good brunch and a good lunch menu!
