My whole family enjoyed our dining experience at Morro Grill recently! My dog got special treatment and loved his pup patty(burger no salt). 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. He requested to sit indoors midway through our meal, as it got cold outside on the deck and the move was done seamlessly. 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. Amazing! We took our servers suggestions and loved our mushroom Swiss burger and cali fries and chicken sandwich. We had way too much food! We will definitely be visiting again. read more

The outlaw burger ! Everyone was super friendly & the pulled pork nachos have to be the best tasting pulled pork I have ever had! Finding out it's the same owners as beach burger explains it all. Always delicious! read more

Morro Grill - American Near Me - Morro Bay, California

The best of my written reviews, dear Yelp Review Readers, are reserved for the establishments that "meet or beat expectations". Morro Grill does it AGAIN! 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! read more

I have been here three times before, ordered a cheeseburger & fries once and I can't recall what the other time. Had to park quite a bit away from the restaurant due to handicapped spots being taken, There is an elevator which I have used on previous visits, but it wasn't working properly going up this time (going down was fine). First time here I dined outside, it was sunny, windy, and the birds begged mercilously!! Second time and this time I sat inside at the high table by the window. The chairs have a nice leg rest. View of Rock is great, although you have to look past the folks dining outside. There are sports playing on all the TVs and it is a bit loud inside, but at least you don't get sunburned, blown away, or attacked by the birds!! They have the napklins and some condiments at the table, which is actually nice not to have to ask for more napkins!! I ordered some chicken strips with beer-battered fries (worth the extra cost), a bottomless soda, and a romaine salad. The salad was sort of a chopped style and was hard to eat but at least it was crunchy lettuce. I needed additional blue cheese dressing. The chicken was too spicy and tasted like fish, I would bet they use the same fryer for their fish and chicken. I also don't prefer breaded chicken strips, battered would have been better. The Fries were fantastic, as usual. Definitely order the beer-battered fries, you won't be disappointed. The refills on the soda were very slow and they didn't add more ice to replace that which had melted. I will probably come here again and would have the cheeseburger and beer-battered fries. No more spicy, fishy, bread crumbed chicken strips for me!! read more

Stopped by this spot for a few hours and ended up finding such a gem. I was looking for something different (not seafood), and this rooftop grill with a view of Morro Rock did not disappoint. Quick heads up--if you sit outside, watch out for the aggressive seagulls... and yes, there are signs they're always watching. They offer happy hour Monday-Friday starting at 3 PM. We ordered the smoky pulled pork nachos--not really my favorite since I was craving something else, but if you're into nachos, you'll probably enjoy them. My friend got the turkey sandwich, and that was actually really, really good. I went with the chicken Greek bowl and it was EVERYTHING I hoped for and more--super flavorful and refreshing. They also have other parties option. The portions are huge, so sharing plates is definitely a good idea. Overall, a must-stop if you're in the area. I already can't wait to go back and hopefully they still have everything I loved on the menu! read more

Located on the second floor in the Morro Landing building at the north end of the Embarcadero, Morro Grill offers delicious drinks, food and views. Since Morro Grill is located on the second floor, for patrons who cannot or prefer not to use the stairs, an elevator is available at the front entryway. Although a bit compact but cozy and comfortable, plenty of seating is available. There is a combination of seating - indoors at the bar or at individual tables, or on their outdoor patio for dining al fresco, with dog-friendly options. There are three TV monitors above the bar area, as well as two monitors on the opposite wall, all with different programming. Both the indoor and outdoor seating offering fantastic vistas of the bay and Morro Rock. We enjoyed our "Bay Basket" (our choice was the Mahi-mahi filets/Cole Slaw and a garden salad) and a "Salmon B.L.T." with tater tots. Everything was delicious, fresh, and well prepared. Service was spectacular and friendly. They offer a Happy Hour Monday - Friday, from 3pm - 5pm with very reasonable prices on beer, cocktails and wine, as well as a selection of eats. read more

Found this place on yelp and wanted to enjoy the view, a must! We were able to see the sea otters before, and during our dinner. The server was so nice and recommended the power bowl. 10/10 food and service, only complain was the drink didn't hold up to what I expected but all good read more

We went to Morrow Grill to celebrate after a long weekend of vending. Upon entering, it became apparent that the woman pictured in my photo was extremely intoxicated. (Side note: they messed up 40% of our order, were out of 3 things we asked for, and could barely accommodate our pescatarian friend, at a seafood restaurant - and the food was mid, at best.) As we ordered, she began butting in to our conversations and being loud/obnoxious. I asked our server if they could have her leave, as she was disturbing the patrons. The drunken woman then started staring at me. She did this repeatedly with a disgusted look on her face. I finally asked if I could help her? She then said "Do you know me? You keep staring at me". (She was seated directly behind my husband, who I WAS looking at!). She then began tossing her hair, loudly complaining about us to the bar tender (who CONTINUED TO server her, despite her being obviously intoxicated). I asked again if she would be asked to leave. I was told "We cannot ask her to leave, she works here." The ENTIRE staff was young, partying with her, listening to her cuss about us and did NOT remove her. We completed our meal, with her jumping up and down, running around talking about us, etc. I then went and asked if I could get contact info for the manager. As I was speaking, she got up and tried to "mean mug" and intimidate me over the other worker's shoulder. She then started yelling that she would "Beat my @ss" etc. No one would remove her. I went and told the person in charge that I would need them to call the police so we could be escorted to our car, as their employee was threatening us. The drunk continued to yell cuss words and threats until ANOTHER CUSTOMER nearby, with kids, eventually got up and had to YELL at the woman and make her leave. The staff CONTINUED to illegally serve her alcohol, did not intervene when she was just loud and obnoxious, allowed her to ruin our meal and ultimately threaten us and make us feel unsafe. There did not seem to be ANY manager on hand. It's being run by a bunch of kids who do not care about the law or the customer's safety or experience. I would never eat here again. Her boyfriend was with her and drinking heavily as well. Once we left, she was running around barefoot in the parking lot drunk, retrieving their dog that they had left in the car to drink, and drinking MORE at another bar. The Alcohol Licensing agents need to look into the Morrow Bars. She REEKED of alcohol, was dirty and slurring her speech and yelling. She should have been cut off about a gallon ago, and Morrow Grill should lose its liquor license and either HAVE A MANAGER on hand or close. And HOPEFULLY she is fired??? read more

A locals favorite spot. Food is alway good and the service is always friendly. Will definitely be back.

Good spot on the water. Came here for lunch with the family. Started with the MB Passion, which was sweet and light on the booze, so don't recommend their cocktails. For lunch, I got the seafood chowder and bay basket with coconut shrimp. Seafood chowder was flavorful, a tad salty, but flavorful. Coconut shrimp was huge and crispy. Brother in law got the Tri tip sandwich, which was a tad dry, but he got a side of bbq sauce, and that did the trick. Service was efficient, and spot was nice being on the water. Recommend the coconut shrimp. read more

First visit though we have walked past this place on the way to Morro Rock maybe 50 times. So happy we stopped this time. We weren't too hungry so we just split two appetizers. We had a Bowl of their Seafood Chowder and the Sweet & Savory Brussel Sprouts. Delicious! We'll certainly be back. They have a great view of the bay from their upstairs deck. There is an elevator available if stairs are an issue. Service was friendly. Presentation was solid, not exceptional but very solid. read more

The first time was a big hit. We looked up where to get the best Bloody Mary and this place popped up. Well, that visit it didn't disappoint with the BM. We got seated on the patio looking out to the marina and Morro rock. There was the right amount of hi top chairs for our group. Also it was quite busy during the long weekend and the weather was amazing. So it was perfect outside. Of course the Bloody Mary was in order again. We also found out that it was happy hour which was great. The BM was normal price but they did have some small bites offered which we had as well as a couple of cocktails. Blood Mary was accompanied by olives, pickle onions, peppercini, celery and a slice of bacon. They know what they're doing. We also ordered one of the cocktails but it was just whatever's. Nothing to rave about. As we were having dinner later, an order of the jalapeño popper bites to share. Quite tasty I must say and served with ranch dipping sauce. When it was time to cash out, we had him split the bill for us. But noticed that the pooper bites was rang up the full price instead of happy hour. It was a big difference hence we mentioned it to him. Well, he said he'll cancel it and re ring it up. When the bill came, it was slightly confusing and the popper bites was still more than happy hour price. Also if you're splitting the check in twos, why was one bill way more than the other. Not by a small amount but a good potion. It was odd but whatever. Bloody Mary was good which was the reason of this visit. Patio was quite nice with the view. The bill situation was a little of a hassle but we manage. I'll still come for the drink. And if you're here during sunset, it's front row seat. read more

This place is a must one visiting Morro Bay! The food was incredible, and the vibes were so great as well!! The salad that I got was very delicious, and they were able to substitute the ranch with their delicious ginger, soy vinaigrette! My husband got the California burger with an extra patty, and the burger was fantastic! It was so beautiful to sit on the porch and eat in front of the rock! The service was also fantastic, the food came out so quickly, and the restaurant staff were super friendly! Of note the restaurant is on the second floor! There's plenty of free parking! read more

I was craving fish and chips and hoping to sit outside by the water, so we chose this spot specifically for its waterfront seating. Unfortunately, the plan fell through--the outdoor area, though spacious, wasn't clean, and seagulls had taken over. It was disappointing because the view was beautiful. The staff mentioned the birds can get pretty aggressive, so we ended up dining indoors, which wasn't my preference. The indoor space has more of a bar vibe, with high-top tables throughout. I ordered the clam chowder, which was very good and probably would have been enough on its own. The fish and chips included both fish and shrimp; the shrimp were great, but the fish was quite bland. My travel companion has a gluten allergy and found the menu fairly limited, though our server was very kind and did his best to accommodate him. I saw a few burgers go by and immediately regretted not ordering because it looked really good read more

Came during spring break, it was busy and took a while to get acknowledged. Lucy was our server, very friendly and tried to be hasty. Brussels sprouts was the best dish we tried. Pastrami sandwich, kids chicken tenders and shrimp basket were all standard. Blonde server in pic was EXTREMELY slow, typical Gen Z and has no motivation or professionalism. She wasn't even our waitress but overheard the table nearby. read more

Perfect setting on the pier facing "the rock". Could be romantic if you wanted it to be! There's "bar" seating facing the water or there are a few tables outside, heaters included. Service was great, attentive, friendly! We had our pick of tables and either inside or outside seating. We chose outside, practically in the water, lol. The food was excellent, you could tell they care to make an impression. The clam and crab chowder served in a garlic bread bowl was an experience unlike anything I've ever had. Between me and my table, there was no evidence of my food when it was all said and done, the garlic bread bowl stood out and added a salty buttery-ness to the chowder. I wouldn't get the chowder without it being "loaded" by the way, all of that just added to the flavor! Everyone else loved their choices, too. The fries are particularly satisfying with their crisp tenderness. The appetizer of fries that has cheese and jalapeño on it was so tasty! I'm so glad we visited here on our way through town, would definitely recommend a stop. (If you have trouble finding it, the entrance is upstairs/up-elevator and toward the back of the building because it's water-side!) read more

Amazing! First off, these bowls they have on the menu are a hit. They sounded good in description, and went well beyond expectation in execution. The kid portions are pretty hearty, and my son is still talking about how his sandwich was one of the best he's had. The outside seating offers great views, and the staff were friendly. Additionally, it feels like a win anytime our family of 4 can go out and spend less than $80 on a sit-down meal. We are not from the area, but we are already plotting a return sometime in the near future! read more

*First off, the table was dirty and we had to clean it ourselves before we seated- *Waited a long time for server *Server didn't bring drinks until after the food arrived. *Brought bill finally and then didn't come back to take out card so we got up and paid inside- *The coconut shrimp were cooked until they were dark brown hard and did not taste good- *Deep fried artichoke was also overcooked to dark brown. *Chowder was so thick it was almost like mashed potatoes *Fries were thin and tasted like they were previously frozen *Fried fish was not good, husband ate one piece and left the rest. This place was not good from start to finish- We still tipped, not sure why- Won't be back. read more

The food was delicious, we enjoyed every bit of our food. We tend to order a little of everything and share so we can try more new things than just ordering 1 meal. We both talked about everything we liked about our food as we ate and decided it would be a 5 star review. Our server was a very nice girl and she made sure we never ran out of our beverages or sauces. That buffalo sauce was amazing and house made, compliments to the morning chef. The place was a cute little restaurant on the second floor with a great view of the rock. Morro grill is getting (2) stars based on the following observations: 2 cooks with gloves on were seen contaminating their gloves and going back to prepare food with the same gloves on. Between 7:28-7:43pm one pulled his phone out of his pocket to pay for something behind the counter. And one was actively eating cookies with his gloves on and making food. To be honest, if I would have seen this before we got our food we would have sent the food back and went somewhere else for dinner. read more

Just stumbled upon Morro Grill while looking for fish tacos. The location is perfect and overlooking the bay and Morro Rock. The space is cozy and inviting, kind of like a locals-only vibe. Our server was very welcoming and friendly. I appreciate the kitchen being open-concept so you can see the chefs doing their thing. I ordered a lavender cocktail and fish tacos. The food came quickly and tasted great! The sauce on the tacos is delicious and the fish was perfectly seasoned. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting the area. read more

Food was not appetizing or filling at all. The "3 Tacos" were 85% damp coleslaw, 15% protein, and didn't come with a side. The burgers were mostly bread with an overcooked disc of meat. The Bay Basket was pretty light on the main mahi as well. This place also served with dirty dishes. I was given water with a flake of mystery crud in it--when I asked for another water politely, they gave me a small kids cup as a replacement. It's no better than the basic Trader Joe's air fried food you'd make at home but more expensive and takes way longer to have. It took forever to get our order taken let alone receive the lackluster "meal" even though it wasn't busy. Servings were small and dull. There is a reason this place is kind of hidden. Keep it that way--for your appetite's and wallet's sake! read more

You can't beat the view of the rock from the deck. We had heard others rave about the drinks here, so we had to come check them out.

My boyfriend and I had an amazing time at Morro Grill! We started with appetizers--waffle-cut sweet potato fries and the pepper jack cheese mozzarella sticks. Both were incredibly tasty and full of flavor! For our main dish, we shared the loaded nachos, and they did not disappoint. The nachos were topped with melted cheese sauce, black beans, diced jalapeños, fresh diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, and their smoked pulled pork. Every bite was better than the last! What stood out the most was how fresh everything tasted. Nothing here gave off that "pre-packaged" or frozen vibe--everything seemed made with care and quality ingredients. We were so impressed. Definitely a spot we'll be returning to! *Didn't get a picture of the loaded nachos to busy eating lol!* read more

Stumbled across this spot while taking a very long walk! I am so happy I did the fish tacos were very good but the flourless chocolate cake and seafood chowder were out of this world.

The food was pretty damn good, the burger is I had was a 4 outta 5., the salmon sandwich was good also. The service was fair+, the reason for a lesser star was the overall cleanliness, the tables were sticky, the condiments were almost completely empty (ketchup). Our waitress was a young gal with a groovy type of personality with nose piercing. The view was great. I'd go back for lunch for sure. The prices were fair. The drinks that are not beer are made with generally a fermented rice . I wish them continued success and longevity. read more
