Our server at the bar, a young woman, was very friendly and attentive. We can be a little Progressive Auto Commercial these days but she rolled with our non-sensical banter. Mostly we were excited about the mid 90's, early 2000's music playlist that included Biggie; Bone, Thugs, & Harmony; Craig Mack; and some classic R&B joints I'm failing to remember right now. All this while we enjoyed two very cold beers - Michelob ultra for the babe and a Big Sur Double IPA on tap at 9.6 ABV for me. All this, paired with the wings, which were outstanding BTW, and it made for a great stop. Other things to know. -Order of 12 wings can be split into two flavors (choice of buffalo, bbq, or mild). We went with buffalo and bbq extra crispy. -The buffalo have an added pepper seasoning that we loved -Bathrooms are downstairs (there's also an elevator) -2 of the 3 TV's at the bar were not working (biggest critique) -There is outside seating with view of the rock and a beautiful sunset if you time it right (we did, but it was a bit hazy due to the fog or overcast or whatever you call it) -Also, we didn't try any other food so we can't vouch for much else but everything people had looked good and we didn't hear any complaints. TRY IT OR DIET FINAL WORD Definitely try it. Matter of fact, we're going to take our own advice and try it again later today!
Good food, lots of options, kids menu, and friendly service. I was impressed at the kid's menu with all their options. My daughter's chicken strips were a big portion and they were tender and juicy. I got a salad with grilled chicken and the chicken was kind of dry. My other daughter got the Tri tip sandwich was a little tough, but the tater tots were crispy and delicious. Sitting outside can be a gamble as there will be numerous seagulls hovering around you. None of the seagulls were aggressive, but I felt like I had to constantly keep an eye out.
New fav lunch spot. I got the cilantro lime MG Power Bowl with tri-tip and it was super fresh and delicious! Can't beat the view. Warning: you will have to protect your food from the seagulls.
Truthfully I want to give a 3, however our server was great so I'm giving a 4. I believe his name is Miguel. Throughout our interaction, he remained professional and cheerful - his great attitude saved the experience. We went inside and were able to get seated immediately. We ordered the calamari, flaming hot chicken sandwich, and battered mahi mahi tacos. We were later informed that they were out of the flaming hot chicken. Bummer since that's what we came in for, but not the end of the world. We switched it for the grilled mahi mahi tacos. Then we were informed again that they just ran out of calamari, so we swapped that for popper bites based on our server's recommendation. The kitchen was backed up but our server communicated that with us and made sure our waters were full. The popper bites are really addictive. Some were a little cold inside but I didn't mind. The grilled mahi mahi tacos were alright - the fish itself was good but the rest of the taco was missing something, I took a bite of the battered mahi mahi tacos and got a shrimp shell. I thought that was weird, then took another 2 bites and same thing- shrimp shells. I was given battered shrimp tacos. Normally I would've let it go and just ate the shrimp tacos, but I couldn't because they all had shells on them. It's really lucky that I'm not someone with a shellfish allergy. I let our server know and he apologized, offered to take the battered tacos off, and replace with something else. I got another set of poppers instead since I knew they were good. I don't think I'd return but I'm happy I gave them a shot. With the food mishaps alone, I would've been greatly annoyed, however Miguel's great attitude saved the experience.
This is one of the only places around staying open past 9pm which is smart since the place was packed to the brim! After a 7 hour drive (usually takes 4) we found this place and stopped in before continuing to our hotel. It's upstairs but they have an elevator left of the stairs. The bathrooms are downstairs by the elevator. Men's room was covered in blood so no effing clue what happened there! Check in at the register and you'll get seated inside or outside with full service. I ordered a Cali Squeeze beer and wife had a cocktail. Both great after the long drive. We started with deep fried pepperjack cheese which is so much better than mozzarella. More places need to serve this! I went with the smoked salmon BLT which was unique. Had a big filet of skin on salmon which was excellent on its own. Add the thick bacon and dill mayo and it really made for a great sandwich. Wife had pulled pork sandwich which tasted like burnt ends. Was excellent. Might have been the fact we were forced to evacuate our home and get stuck in holiday traffic but this was the perfect ending to a chaotic stressful day. Service was on point even with it being a full house.
We had a good time at Morro Grill. The entire staff was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. We sat upstairs, which has a nice view to the rock, but the second floor is not easy for disabled people to get up there. (only stairs) Definitely will be a problem for anyone that has mobility challenges. Overall, service and good food--just keep the stairs in mind!
When you go to a restaurant that knocks your block off!! Coconut shrimp with garlic fries was the main. Great food with a great outdoor 2nd floor seating and million dollar view of the bay. Very lucky to have stumbled upon it while in town. Will definitely come again.
A solid 4 for an early weeknight dinner. Extra credit for being open on a Monday night. Staff very friendly, service a little clunky. Beautiful view of Morro Bay and the Rock. Inside tables were more comfortable for us as sunset was a bright blare and there was a lot of birdy action on the deck. 5 star popper bites, 5 star buffalo chicken salad. The balsamic vinaigrette is more like a Dijon honey mustard. Pastrami was on sourdough (hmmmm) and a little too soggy. A nice sparkling Pinot noir rosé by the glass was $12. Would try again after dark.
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.
Visiting my sister and time got away from us so decided to order through DoorDash for a food delivery. My sister stated that Morro Grill was a good place so we took a look at the menu and both ordered one of their bowls and a side of tater tots. Good size portion and we each enjoyed what we had ordered but have to say that the tater tots kind of stole the show. I ordered them extra crispy and recommend them that way they were so good we were craving them again a couple of days later. Prices were a little high in my opinion but we did enjoy the meal.
Clam chowder here is the so delicious! The raw oysters so fresh! Friendly customer service and great atmosphere! Our server Bong Bong (aka James) is an awesome server! Fun and made it enjoyable time! Must try place if you come visit!
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.
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.

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

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

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. I hate to say it but I liked it better than chowder in the SF Bay. It was more buttery less creamy. Excellent food and the service was just as good! read more

Went for Happy Hour. Wooden Sign at the bar listed all the happy hour specials. When the bill came, only one beer was shown as happy hour pricing. Second beer, both glasses of wine and the calamari appetizer were both at non-happy our prices. The Bartender says sign is old and the calamari and wine are no longer on happy hour . Still wasn't going to discount until we pressed further. Once we pointed it out, the wooden sign was taken down. It was only a couple bucks, but I see this as bait and switch. Don't not advertise happy hour and not give the happy hour prices advertised. BTW, paper tents on the bar state wine by the glass is on happy hour. Let's see if they remove those too. For happy hour, go to the Siren. They honor what they advertise. read more
I love the ease of online ordering for a quick pick up. I ordered the kids tri tip melt with garlic fries and an apple juice. I think that was a great price for the amount of food we got. I even messed the online ordering up but the staff were kind enough to give me the correct fries. 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

Upon Our Last Night in Morro Bay me we're looking for a place that had something other than just Seafood and upon talking to the lady at our hotel nearby she recommended Morro Grill and boy we are glad she did. The food was very flavorful spot on service was prompt polite and the view was just spectacular. Tri-tip sandwich full of flavor good balance sweet potato fries cooked perfectly but to mine and my daughter surprise the pulled pork nachos so much flavor in that pork perfect balance of smoke well put together item very impressed by this local treasure read more

What a gem! Service is a little slow but it's okay the food was delicious. I had the Cali fries and a sour dough seafood chowder & it was the best chowder I've had on the coast! We had a group of 5 and we all enjoyed our meals. Huge portion sizes for the prices. Beautiful view whether you're sitting on the patio or inside looking out the big windows. The ribs looked and smelled delicious and next time we're in town we will be coming back to give those a try. read more

There were so many restaurants to pick from but ended at Morro Grill for lunch. You check in at the front and seat yourself inside or outside. The service was great and the server was attentive, checked on us often-friendly service. The Asian bowl was packed with protein and ordered the salmon with it. We also got the burger and seem like the portions were generous. TV's and music inside and busy. read more

Went here on a Sunday afternoon and it was quite busy. Seating is limited. Service was great though. The female server on the counter was nice. We ordered baja shrimp tacos, fish shrimp and chips, cali fries, and chowder. The tacos was good and shrimp tasted good however there's too many cabbage that it caused less flavor to the shrimp. The clam chowder tasted similar to Pismo's Splash cafe thats all I can comment on that. The fish and chips I have not tasted much. I loved the Cali fries, the cheese and toppings were balanced. Overall, I think this is a good stop for a quick lunch as another option for seafood in Morro bay. read more

We came around 7 pm, and although it was pretty busy, we were seated right away. The outdoor seating offers a stunning view of Morro Rock, making it the perfect spot to enjoy dinner as the sun sets. Hands down, this was the best clam chowder we have ever had. Every bite was rich and creamy, with a perfect balance of smoky bacon, tender clams, and savory herbs that lingered deliciously on the palate. The fish and chips were equally impressive. The batter was light and golden, delivering a satisfying crunch that gave way to perfectly flaky, moist fish inside. Everything was cooked to perfection and full of flavor--we can't wait to come back. read more
Modern American comfort food from a friendly and well-functioning team. The food here all tasted like scratch cooking, albeit a teensy greasy. But they used fresh oil, absolutely no smell to it, quite light eating still. I cried during a hard conversation and the waitresses were so sweet, clearly gave a dang, and checked in on me. It's a bit small in there but not cozy bc there was no heating. View outside is gorgeous. Worth the visit, and will stop by next time I visit Morro! read more
Went in on a Friday night (order to go) & it was pretty busy, so definitely want to get there early for a table inside. Also, doesn't hurt that there's a view! I ordered the Tri-Tip sandwich, fried zucchini & a slice of cheese cake. Food was good (I can see why it's busy) & the service was friendly. Definitely will go back! All in all: Good food, friendly & a water view! Worth trying out if you haven't yet. read more

Such a lovely sunset meal, the upper deck has a fantastic view we were just counting otters for our whole meal. The food was also great, I had the TriTip sandwich, tasty, my companions had the mahi plate and the buffalo chicken wrap, also very nice. Would definitely stop here again. The service was also great, our server Joe was attentive and kept his head on a swivel for seagulls! read more

The staff was young and energetic, the atmosphere was super friendly and vibrant. Even the view from inside was beautiful. The chairs felt a little weak and sketchy which is an easy fix and the restaurant is upstairs but not tricky or hard to necessarily find. The food was AMAZING. The Tri tip sandwich was fat and juicy, the salmon was cooked amazingly, and packed with flavor down to the jalapeño poppers that exploded with flavor every bite. 10/10 I'll be coming back and recommending this spot to others. 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

Great view from the back deck, but unfortunately the service fell far short of expectations. We dined as a party of seven and while the food itself was enjoyable, the service experience was poor. One of our party members ordered a chowder bread bowl, which was mistakenly served with bacon--despite her dietary restriction and no mention as an ingredient but instead as an upgrade option. The server acknowledged the error and assured us a replacement was being made. However, 25 minutes passed with no updates, while the rest of our group had already finished their meals. After trying to flag someone down, another server briefly told us it would be ready soon but walked away mid-conversation, ignoring our request to have it packaged to-go. An additional 10 minutes went by before our original server returned, apologizing and saying he had only just asked the kitchen to remake it. The corrected order was finally brought out--still not in a to-go box--and had to be returned once again to be packed up. Throughout the entire meal, no one checked in on our table or offered drink refills until the checks were brought. The lack of communication among staff and absence of accountability was disappointing. While the food and location were enjoyable, the overall service experience makes it unlikely we will return. read more

My father requested we try this fairly new restaurant, we decided to sit outside! The view is amazing you can see morro rock right in front of you. Today it was 57 degrees, might sound cold. It wasn't! The service rocked, we were waited! Food was exceptional will most definitely be back read more
