Tri tip burrito and clam chowder was pricey but very tasty. Tri tip burrito easily lasted two meals for me. Food took about 30 minutes from ordering to be in my hand, but it was fairly busy. Place is very close to the beach. read more

Slappys Chowder House - Tri tip burrito - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oceano, California

Caught some breakfast burritos with the Santa Maria style tri tip at around 9am. EFFIN FIRE! The breakfast burritos had eggs, fries, cheese, Santa Maria tri tip and some sauce. The flavors blended together so well! The smokiness of the tri tip was perfect! Oh so good! The gentleman running the cashier was super friendly and courteous! Had a huge smile and great energy! It's a walk up window so there isn't any place to eat inside but they had some barrels with metal bar stools laid out so ppl could eat there. They had good music playing though so that was really nice! It's right by the entrance to where people enter the sand dunes to ride ATV's and side by sides! I'll happily come back here to try more of the food next time I'm in town! read more

I had the tri-tip chili cheese fries, and my friend had the tri-tip burrito and the strawberry milkshakes. The fries were amazing and then the next day I had to try tip sandwich, which also was good. The burrito was huge. She ate half during the day and half a night. The portion sizes are good. read more

Really great clam chowder! Speedy service and are open fairly late in the evening. Tri tip sandwich was good too

Chowder is really good! Wish I would have tried the tri tip sandwich because did not care for the corndog. It was fairly greasy, which I know, it's fried, just wasn't my favorite. Kinda pricey for a walk up, but everything is pricey on the central coast. Glad I tried someplace different while I was in town! read more

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! read more

How could you hate on Slappys? Answer - you can't. Good service. Solid food. Great chowder.

Very good spot to grab some food. While coming back from the beach my wife and I were looking for a quick bite to eat and saw this spot was open. It was shockingly delicious. We got the clam chowder and tri tip burrito. Both were absolutely amazing and the burrito was HUGE easily big enough to split and still feel full. My order was taken and the food came out way faster than I thought it would. It's definitely worth grabbing some food here. - Mr.Narrwahl read more

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! read more

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. read more

One of the best breakfast burritos ever. The Santa Maria. Tri-tip with seasoned fries, scrambled eggs, skipped the avocado and went light on the chipolate sauce. The bomb!!! read more

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! read more

Great clam chowder! Location at beach entrance is perfect. Bring your own h20 $4.25 for bottle outrageous!

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. read more

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. read more

Outdoor tall stools and one bench. Purely a walk up window to kitchen that backs onto the beach. And loud 70s/80s rock and Motown playing over the speaker. Crazy vibe. Very slow service. Sourdough chowder bowl is a takeout cup of chowder with the warm sourdough loaf with cutouts wrapped in foil. Assemble it yourself. Fish tacos had loads of pico de gallo and chopped cabbage. Very little cod and one stray piece of fried calamari. Husband and I deemed it a "never again" experience. read more

The clam chowder was the best ! !!!! Easy access to order and pick up. We haven't tried the other items yet. read more

Honestly didn't expect much from this place. Got the chicken tenders and fries. The chicken tenders were absolutely perfect. They were fresh and juicy and tasted great. My friend got a corndog for 8 bucks and at first it looked like a rip off but when we got them they werent your average corn dogs. These things were pretty much a costco hotdog turned corndog. The only downside to this place was that on the menu the chicken tenders came with curly fries however we only got regular fries. Not too biggy tho. The food was good. read more

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 read more

The best food in the area better than I can make ! The tri tip was so delicious. The wings were the best I ever had and my friend ordered clam chowder and said it was perfect read more

This place was highly recommended but it was mostly "meh." The good: the chowder had a great flavor. Fish was fried really well. Corn dog was the best I've ever had (would seriously come back just for this). Fries were good. Staff was nice. The not so good: the wait time was excessive for no other orders between when we ordered and getting our food (10+ minutes). I thought the prices were a bit high for what you got. The biggest let down was the chowder...great taste but 90% of it was potatoes. The onion rings are breaded (picture on menus shows battered). Seating is rustic, very rustic. No shade/covers. Sand is everywhere. All seating is bar-height stools. If you're staying nearby, I highly recommend taking it back to your lodging. Would I return? Probably just for the corn dog. read more

Very good clam chowder. I wish it came with add-ons like bacon and green onions. So I just get their side order of bacon. And it is really good bacon. three crunchy chicken tacos, delicious. read more

Wanted to try Slappys clam chowder and it was decent. I don't think it's better than Splash Cafe. They also only have outside seating. The beach being super close was such a positive addition! Our friends got their fish tacos and a strawberry milkshake. They also liked it! read more

This little joint right by the beach was amazing!! We'd recommend the fish tacos and the fish and chips. Outside dining only or take out. Service was quick and food was fresh and hot. The batter on the fish and chips is ligit hand dipped. If you opt for the fish tacos, you'll get three corn tortilla stuffed to the gills with seared cod topped with cabbage slaw, pico and a spicy creamy drizzle with just enough heat and flavor. read more

It was great, when he was open. It was difficult to catch him open. Google said it was open, but often was not. I had the shrimp tacos. Very good and filling. The churro was nice, hot and fresh and the hand dipped corn dog was good. Tri tip in the burrito was tender, also. Tender tri tip seems to be difficult to find in the area. I recommend read more

Food and soft serve are excellent. Customer service at the window was great. This place would get five stars if the seating could be upgraded and if the kitchen could be more organized to take high volume orders during busy time periods. I definitely recommend this place. read more

Best corndog I've ever eaten! The Clam chowder was really tasty too! Great location right near the Oceano beach entrance.

If you're looking for great clam chowder, this is the place. We are kind of chowder geeks, and I make a pretty good version myself, so we've tasted a LOT of chowder. I'm not a huge fan of the super thick, floury chowder that a lot of places serve; Slappy's version achieves a perfect balance - not too thick, but creamy enough for folks looking for a substantial soup. It was also expertly seasoned, with enough herbs and pepper and salt to make it interesting without overwhelming the clam flavor. We also tried the tri-tip, fish and shrimp tacos - all very nice, with a nice slaw and creamy, spicy sauce. The fish tacos had grilled, not fried cod, and the tri-tip was super flavorful. Reasonable prices and very friendly staff. Only outdoor seating. All in all, a great little find that exceeded expectations. read more

The clam chowder bread bowl was soooo good!! Will definitely be back! Customer service was amazing too!
