Rooster salad with Ahi
Vi N.

My FIL brought us here and can I tell you, 10000% I will be going back!! Not only was everything we ordered delicious, but the service was outstanding and the restaurant is so cute inside! As a family it's hard to find easy going sit down restaurants and this is now a go to for me. For drinks we got the Bee Keeper, the Perfect Pear, Blackberry Old Fashioned and Rooster Mule. The bee keeper was a LITTLE sweet for me, but anything with honey is a little sweeter than my taste. All of them were very well done and I would absolutely order again. Food wise we had the steak bites which was MORE than enough for a main, calamari fries, rooster salad with tuna, sausage and mushroom pizza and a kids pepperoni pizza. The steak bites were well seasoned, the sauces on the side were delicious, and the toast was tasty as well. The salad was ENORMOUS and definitely worth the price! The pizzas were good too, I'm not a huge pizza girl but I would definitely eat those again. All in all for price, portions, and flavors as well as incredible and attentive service I would absolutely come back to Rooster Creek.

We decided to try Rooster Creek Tavern on our way to the airport--OMG what an excellent decision! It was a whole vibe from start to finish. My daughter ordered the Tuna Poke--oh my... that's all I have to say! The presentation was absolutely stunning, and in her words, it tasted like five-star dining. My mom went with the BLTA and a side salad, which was just as delicious. I had the classic BLT with Parmesan garlic fries--everything was bursting with flavor, and the bacon was perfectly crispy (my favorite part!). My boyfriend ordered a side Caesar salad, and it was so fresh and flavorful. If you're headed through San Luis Obispo, you have to check this place out. You won't regret it!

Love this restaurant. You can eat inside or outside which is nice. It's in the middle of the valley, lot of restaurants and stores that you can go to. Parking lot in the back, and there's the famous historic swinging bridge. I had pacific salmon, it comes with a good portion of salmon, steamed rice and chiliflake broccolini. My husband got steak and chips, the truffle fries was really good, and the sauce!! We had the soup of the day, Italian sausage with kale and garlic bread. Our server is really nice and gave my in laws suggestions of what they could have. Definitely a thumbs up

Tuna Poke w/Side Salad...

Another dining experience at Rooster Creek. If has been awhile since our last visit. We called ahead ...no wait and upon arrival, we were seated at a table on the outside patio. The ambiance was casual and the restaurant had a nice "buzz" going on, as apparently other patrons expectations were being met. The nice weather made patio dining desirable and gave us a nice view. Our Server for this experience, Jeni Joe, held her own as far as her Customer Service. The highlight here was that the food was really spot on. Our 4 top table order consisted of Drinks first...a Cali Squeeze - 5/5 ( very nice and refreshing), a Mai Tai - 5/5 and a Beer. Appetizer: Nachos w/Steak - 5/5 (really great nachos, w/plenty of toppings for the chips), a Rooster Burger - 5/5, the Tuna Poke w/Side Salad - 4/5, a Cobb Salad w/Chicken - 5/5 and a Beet Salad w/ extra Goat Cheese - 5/5 (flavor alert...yummy). All dishes served really "hit the spot" as did the food presented for our previous visit. Consistently good food is a pretty good reason to give this restaurant a try for yourself. One of the members of our party happened to be celebrating a Birthday and Jeni Joe made sure he received a free Ice Cream Sunday (nice!). All in all our time here at Rooster Creek was well spent. On this occasion, in this Yelper's opinion...Rooster creek in Arroyo Grande made the grade and truly earned this "highly recommend - the food is worth the visit" 5 Star review.

Located in downtown Arroyo Grande, Rooster Creek is place is such a vibe - I can't believe I waited so long to make it here! They have an extensive amount of TVs located inside and outside, perfect for catching a game with friends. Their outdoor patio is expansive and just lovely; we love dining out here for dinner! Their nachos are AMAZING and I highly recommend ordering them if you are visiting. We order them every time we go. Their buffalo wings are also to die for! They have a large drink menu, as well as a full bar so there is an option for everyone! Highly recommend Rooster Creek if you're looking for an all around great restaurant to get a burger, salad, sandwich, or apps, and some delicious drinks!

Reminder to arrive early even in the winter when it's mostly locals! This is a great bar and restaurant that serves burgers, pizza, and comfort food. We arrived shortly after 5 o'clock and there was a 25 minute wait for the two of us and all of the bar seats were full. We ordered their basic burger and a pepperoni pizza to share. The burgers are half pound and come with your choice of a side. We chose regular french fries. The burger was cooked perfectly to medium well as we had ordered it. Juicy and tender. Comes on a brioche bun with the usual accoutrements of lettuce tomato and dill pickles. No dressing on the bun so be sure to ask for what you like. The pizza was thin crust and chewy with a crispy edge, We ordered extra cheese and I'm glad we did. The wait staff was really busy but our server, Summer, was friendly and gave us our time. The hosts were friendly and seated as soon as possible. It could be a little loud but that's to be expected in this type of establishment.

We went twice in 3 days. That's how good it is/was! Without a doubt, the Beef Stroganoff is exceptional! Price Service Location Portion size

Poke plate with seaweed slaw and spicy sauce

This light meal was fresh, and most importantly tasty! The outdoor seating was great with the heaters ! The wait was under twenty minutes! Our waitress Missy was so helpful when it came to all the questions about the level of heat the "Nuclear" wings were exactly on point! We had two different pizzas spicy Sicilian was savory, plentiful and very very good ! The laredos pizza had sweet bbq sauce, corn, and purple onions. Surprisingly it was Amazing !! A little more sauce would have been even better!

Try the California pizza ~ now Nuevo Loredo

Wow, what an excellent local brewery! Looking for some…read moreevening bite after a late lunch and this place was nearby where we were staying, so gave it a walk to try it. Seemed to close early, 8pm, for a brewery, but I guess it's a quieter area. Arrived past 7, hoping we can still get food and we were still good for food and beer! Ms. Kristie was so efficient and friendly and awesome, hustling back and forth from reception to seating and dropping by to check on all the patrons. Like a one woman show! I went for the Peanut butter falcon since I like a good brown beer. The peanut butter was initially nice, but it kinda became tiring as the sips went along, since peanut butter seemed a bit much over the beer. Got wife the German Pilsner and that was excellent! Smooth with a hint of malty sweetness too! I am thinking maybe the Lawn Order blonde ale is probably going to be great as well, but too full from late lunch to consume more than one. For food, went with the birria melt and the salmon salad. Birria melt had some awesome authentic flavors to it! Kid devoured it with the consomme. I enjoyed a quarter of it, but too full, so worked out perfect since kid didn't want to share more either, lol. Salmon salad was perfect! Pan seared on both side for that wonderful crust yet tender goodness. Salad dressing with cherry and almond slices made this salad so enjoyable while staying lighter. Was not expecting such salmon from a brewery, excellent food here! Locals seem to love this place too until closing time I guess, since a group that seemed to be bar hopping arrived exceited when we got there too:)

My daughter had the Fish & Chips (yep, same amazing fries) and loved it, and my other daughter went for the cheeseburger. Everything was delicious and the portions were HUGE. We ate outside, and there's a ton of seating which made it super chill. Service was quick, prices were fair, and the menu has so many appetizers and tasty-looking dishes that I'm already planning what to try next. Definitely a spot we'll be coming back to!

A pretty decent restaurant in the Pismo beach area if you are looking for a chill, slow-paced,…read morewell-decorated place to eat at. As soon as I walked in, I was mesmerized by the refrigerator row of wine/champaign bottles. The bar area is well decorated with a dark background and small lights to emulate a dark starry night. Their service was not good in our L.A.-opinionated minds. Yes, we were greeted and seated immediately upon arrival. We waited maybe 20 minutes before someone eventually came to take our order. Mind you, the whole time we were ready to order, the waitress who seated us was walking back and forth, setting up tables around us. She clearly saw that we were ready to order but didn't even offer to take our orders or get another staff who could. This is a place to come to if you are NOT in a hurry and are here to simply chill and take life SLOCAL style. The food here seems like a fusion between American and Mediterranean style. 1. Octopus Appetizer (4.5/5) Large octopus tentacles served with a combination of vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, roasted peppers) toasted with garlic and olive oil. The vegetables and octopus were all cooked very well. The octopus was fresh and melts in your mouth. 2. Grilled Asparagus (2.5/5) Large asparagus that's seasoned lightly, but it was not cooked correctly. It had a very stringy-fibery texture. 3. Philly cheesesteak (2/5) The hoagie bread was grocery store quality at best. We were sad that it wasn't even toasted or warmed up, so ended up ditching the bread/bun and just ate the inside. The cheese was at least nicely melted. The onion and bell peppers were fresh, but the steak was "meh." Definitely not quality beef. The beef itself was also not seasoned enough, so was bland and dry. 4. Onion rings (5/5) Fried to perfection. Loved that the onions were fresh and it was easy to pull apart with each bite. The aioli sauce that its served with is plain and bland though. 5. Crab cake (4/5): Crabby patty anyone? All I tasted was fried Panko batter. Wish the patty itself had more flavor and spice. The garlic aioli sauce that came with it though was good. 6. Dr. Marquis Salad (4/5): Fresh spring mix lettuce topped with ground beef and crispy bacon, tomato, sliced avocado and tossed with their house-made olive oil, salt and pepper dressing. Overall, it was a hearty salad with plentiful flavor. It was just a bit weird to have ground beef in salad, but I guess that's what makes this salad dish unique

We were looking for a place to have dinner to celebrate our anniversary…read more We looked around yelp the night before and found this gem. We made a reservation for the next day. We originally made our reservation for 7:30 p.m.... we then decided we wanted to perhaps change it to 6:30. We called ahead and hopes that they could accommodate us. They said they couldn't promise anything but they would try. We showed up around 6:15. And they sat us down around 6:35. We had a beautiful window seat overlooking the ocean and had a perfect view of the sunset. I forgot our server's name but he was amazing. This place sounds fancy and bougie but it's really not. The food might be, but the vibe is not. There's no dress code. Everything we ordered was soooo tasty and delicious! We ordered fish and chips, baked clams, a wedge salad, and seafood pasta. For drinks we had two mocktails that were just okay. We also got a couple of flour tortillas with some cinnamon butter and a salsa trio. Our server suggested we spread butter inside the tortilla and drizzle our favorite salsa inside. So good. After dinner we decided to walk around the restaurant and appreciate the views. I'm so glad we came here. We will definitely come back next time we come to Pismo Beach
