    My car being unreasonably towed

    Sooo ate here and my car got towed as I was eating and only here for 20 minutes by the way. I now have to pay $250 for my car to be put down on top of some mid clam chowder. Do not come here. Also: they gave me regular instead of Diet Pepsi.

    TRI TIP!
    Chesney F.

    So much fun! Right off the beach, easy parking and really nice people serving AMAZING FOOD! Everything I heard about the tri tip is true, it is the BEST. Reasonable price for a big beefy sandwich

    Fish and chips were bomb! Very large pieces and made fresh. Service was good and its a classic beach side vibe. If you are hitting the dubes and are hungry, hit this spot up!

    Fat burritos at a fair price! The service wasn't super fast but I guess that's how you know it's fresh! Not a lot of room for dining but slaps is right next to the beach! It was the perfect burrito for my hangover!

    Slap me up for some good chowder anytime I am in Pismo! If you are looking for a nice chowder spot that has easy access to the dunes and off the normal busy parts of Pismo then this is a nice spot. The street outside can get busy with recreational vehicles going in and out constantly but it also adds to for great people watching. Slappys is a great place for breakfast and/or lunch. From breakfast burritos to corn dogs to chowder. All the classics done right. Warms up the foodie soul on the nice chilly Pismo beach.

    I think there are addictive properties in the clam chowder. My sister had the tri tip chili cheese fries, and said they were amazing. The kids all had ice cream and shaved ice every day that we were there. Can't wait to go back when we go to Pismo!

    Came here for the first time and let me tell you, the chowder here is amazing!!!! The bread was freshly toasted and perfectly paired with the clam chowder soup! We also had their tri tip sandwich sang their tri tip burrito, I think I'll favor the burrito more because I didn't want to keep dipping. For those who don't like good touching, stick with the sandwich. The guy serving us gave us great recommendations and service! This place has the perfect location! Right before the dunes entrance! Menu is easy to read and simple to choose from. Grab some food and picnic on the beach! There's a table if you wanted to eat there but really, the beach is within walking distance. Perfect stop and great CS. Will definitely return, tomorrow!

    If you're by the beach, this is a convenient place for a bite to eat or sweet treat. You order at the window and pick up after. I'd recommend their mac & cheese, loaded fries, breakfast burritos, or ice cream. The tri tip sandwich is primarily meat and bread, with bbq sauce on side.

    Was not my first choice, the place across the street was closed the other on hwy. 1 opened later, so here we are...I ordered a chicken strips breakfast burrito. It was huge! Fries nice hot and crispy. Nice lady at the order here window. Outdoor seating area w if needed. I would go again. Did not disappoint. An option of a fresh made green or red salsa would be nice tho

    8oz. Clam chowder.

    Staying at a campground near here and found it on yelp. Saw it was in the middle of a neighborhood…read moreand not on the main drag so I figured it was supported by locals rather than tourists. This turned out to be very true. Half the customers seemed to know each other. Anyway, the ambiance is pretty thin. Not much to look at and all the food is served in paper or styrofoam containers. Help yourself to some plastic cutlery if needed. However, the food was very tasty. Certainly above average for a basic Mexican place. I ordered the carnitas plate and a chile relleno à la carte. I like to test Mexican restaurants by trying the chile relleno. That was the best part of the meal. Took a few minutes for my order because the relleno was obviously freshly made. Very well roasted poblano with just a little bite to it. Well breaded, fried, and sauced. Carnitas were very tasty as well. Service was a bit odd as they call your number and then stand there and ask you if you want everything on it and then slap it on top in front of you.

They are always busy but they are fast! You can eat in or get your food to go. Prices have gone up but, not as much as other restaurants. Chips are extra and honestly, they give you so much food, you won't need them. The Chile Rellenos are really good. There's a reason this place is so busy, the locals love it!!

Even during the off-season, they can get busy for dinners so make a reservation, especially if you have a larger group. The patio is dog friendly and they have a private parking lot. We started the meal with a half dozen fresh oysters which were cleaned well and served with some Tabasco, an herby vinegar, and lemons. Fresh warm bread and butter were also provided to start the meal. We got the steamed clams which were absolutely delicious. Done with a classic garlicky white sauce, the clams were fresh with no unpleasant fishy smells or tastes. The seafood pasta is the reason we return to Ada's year after year. There's a huge assortment of seafood included and all of the individual ingredients are well cooked unlike most seafood pastas. The mussels were small and very mild in flavor, almost tasting like clams. A flaky white fish as well as a more meaty fish were also included and weren't overcooked. The creamy rose sauce is flavorful and rich without overwhelming the various ingredients Service is friendly and they have a wide selection of drinks available.
