A girlfriend and I stopped in for a light lunch and I must say, I wasn't expecting much. Thinking that this was probably a tourist type spot and most likely just an average level of quality and ambiance. Well I was presently surprised at the quality of the food and the generous portion. I ordered a Mandarin Fries, Spicy Asian Chicken Wings, Papya Salad. The combination was a bit odd to me as it was made with too soul and too much spicy. The odd part was that it also contained several types of fresh fruit which were great in it, other food is Roasted Duck Soup, Teriyaki Salmon, Grilled Pok Chop, Korean BBQ Short Ribs too many MSG but not what I would have thought paired well together. read more

The view is nice. Food in general is not really special. Service is okay but slow when crowded which is understandable. It's worth to try one time Recommend the seafood combo but not chowder bread. read more

We waited an hour for our table and we're happy to do so because we understood that this is the new norm post COVID. We were hungry and was so looking forward to a great meal. So disappointing. The Parm Crusted Halibut was so BLAND! No flavor what so ever and at $27.95 you would expect perfection. read more

Had a fantastic lunch today. The service was very good. The Bloody Mary was the best, clam chowder was excellent & the sanddabs were delicious. read more

Wonderful food, great service... Awesome views from the Boardwalk at Morro Bay. One of the best bowls of clam chowder I've ever had outside of Boston. Fish and Chips were light and flavorful and my friend said her halibut was exquisite. Always a favorite, we will of course be back read more

We are just visiting, but the warm friendly service along with the sincere waitstaff and comforting food makes this the perfect place to land after an afternoon of paddling the naturescape of Morrow Bay with The Paddleboard Company. The outdoor seating is the perfect setting for clam chowder (if you're chilly) to freshly shucked local oysters, and the beer and wine list are comprehensive and well-organized. read more

Good: drinks in the bar waiting on the table, service, view. Not so great: halibut special dinner - over cooked, and a very mediocre cut of fish (might have even been the cod they use in fish & chips). We've been here many times for fish and chips and fish tacos. They are always good. My advice - skip the nice dinner and stick with the fish & chips or fish tacos. A drink in the bar before dinner is also a good idea. read more

Great little spot with front row views of the water, especially for the sunset. Came in on a Friday night and it wasn't too crowded, pretty much had the town area to ourselves. Food is pretty decent! Great and affordable. read more

Right on the water. Service was fantastic. The fish was cooked perfectly and the chowder was delicious.

The clam chowder is the best we've ever had, and we've lived all over California, including the Bay Area, so that is saying something! Their Bloody Marys are amazing! It's not a mix, there was actual tomato pulp in the glass, and a shrimp as a garnish. They tasted fantastic! We were a party of eight, and the service was fantastic. Their fish and chips were so light, not greasy at all. Could not rate them more highly! read more

Both my wife and I ordered the Chioppino . It was pretty good with a good assortment of fish clams Calamari little octopus and a zesty soup. It came with a melted cheese bread that was also quite tasty read more

Crab cakes! Oh so delicious! On our first night in Morro Bay we walked past all the many seafood places and decided on the Dutchman's seafood. I read the story about the family who started the restaurant and they had 9 children. NINE! That is a lot of crab cakes. Speaking of crab cakes, they were delicious! Nice and crab laden, minimal filler and a nice breaded exterior to crab ratio. the remoulade sauce was very nice and complimented the cakes nicely. Spousal unit had the ciopinno and it was really great! So much so that I am making some tonight because we loved it so much. unfortunately a 6 hour drive to get more is out of the question. Garlic bread was also excellent! As I mentioned there are a ton of seafood choices along the bay and you might consider one or two that are more expensive and more fancy looking inside, but you can get some great seafood without spending a huge amount of money and enjoy a lovely view of the rock as you dine. read more

Semi-fancy environment and friendly staffs. The inside remodeled and clean. Since I order something to go, I can't really tell about the service but as far as I see, people who work there are friendly and tentative. We got chicken salad and mix fried seafood + chips. Chicken was white meat and nicely grilled which I like. Their Italian dressing was flavorful. The full bar right after the entrance. Since I'm not a drinker, I should come back for lunch dine-in! BUT if you like to have some drinks with fried stuff, this place should be it! read more

Well, as a person growing up by the beach, I can definitely recognize a "seaside" Dennys type place from the outside..... We only went here because everything else was closing early ... our waiter, Hector, was great but the ambiance is ZERO, the food generic and you will only want to eat here if you don't have another choice. So, having said all that..... find another spot. read more

Happy hour 3 to 6 real buzzed right about now damn they can make a drink. 2/4 $ well drinks, tap, wine read more

Great food, good prices, hit and miss service. Our server barely came over, the kind gentleman who sat us had to keep giving us water. When we finished our dinner (party of 3) she brought us the check and the table next to us a dessert menu. We ended up getting some sweet treats at the shop next door, since the waitress seemed to want us gone. Again, we really liked the food and the guy who sat us was really nice but the waitress made us feel so uncomfortable and unwelcome, the whole time I felt like an unannounced visitor at someone's home. We won't be back. read more

Great find. We skidded in just under the wire for happy hour and were assured that they had noted that we made it in time for HH prices. Service was excellent and friendly. Food was great. We had crab cakes from the HH menu. All crab no filler. Then we also had seared Ahi appetizer. Also excellent. Bonus sunset view from lounge. read more

The Dutchie - Pulled pork with scallops ,surf and turf in a bowl fantastic!!!! - Seafood Near Me - Morro Bay, California

Came in Thursday December 29, and it was crowded. Took about half an hour to get seated. Unfortunately, it also took almost 15 minutes to order a beer while waiting, and I'm not sure why. Anyway, the service was fine after that. Got clam chowder, which was tasty, and fish and chips, which were good, but not mind-blowing. Well, maybe the garlic fries were. And the garlic is gloriously intense. I would have been a little surprised at the lack of fish options that a restaurant named a "seafood house" had if I had not read Kinsie's review elsewhere. Nice views, nice looking restaurant. read more

Great service!! The halibut fish & chips Were amazing!! Light & flaky and so so tasty!! they were so good we had 2 orders :) read more

Surprised at the other reviews because 2 of us ordered the fish and chips and the fries were lukewarm and old and the coleslaw was rancid. They gave us those two meals free to make up for it but that doesn't take away the awful taste that comes from bad slaw. My daughter said the seared ahi tuna was tasty but the salad underneath has unappealing chunks of flavorless iceberg lettuce. My husband's seafood on his salad was just ok. That was our last trip to this restaurant. read more

I've had fish and chips at about a half a dozen of Morro Bay's restaurants. The version they serve here is the best I've found so far. It's beer battered, which always is my preference. It was cooked perfectly -- not overcooked as they do in so many places. The fries and cole slaw were fine. The waitress was happy (smiled a lot) and friendly. Her service was prompt. The view of the rock was outstanding. I'll try a few more dishes here. If they're all as good as the fish and chips, I'll raise my rating to five stars. read more

The clam chowder is amazing! Order the garlic bread and dip it in the chowder. Yum! If dining light maybe they could give you 1 piece of garlic bread for $1. Also they offer a variety of house wines for $6. I recommend getting Chardonnay, as it goes well with sea food and things like their clam chowder. Yelp them and receive 15% off on their food. Enjoy! read more

4/02 - Love the food, staff and atmosphere. 4/03 - From 1am (approx 4 hrs later) till evening of Tuesday the 5th, I was overcome by what was later determined by my doctor as 'food poisoning'. My wife called the restaurant to let them know, so as to protect others, and was quickly told no one else reported anything and then dismissed. I would never had thought being a 'harbor towm' that you would ever be concerned about seafood, especially Fish and Chips. I was wrong. Be aware. read more

Very kind people. We were warmly greeted, waited 5 minutes for a table, then received excellent service throughout our meal. Food: Fish and shrimp with garlic fries was fantastic!!! Calamari appetizer comes with a spicy sweet chili sauce that is great. Cesar salad was decent. Clam chowder was good. We will definitely return read more

Ate here 11/1/21. Had the classic cosmopolitan, fish and chips, and caramel brownie with ice cream. The service was 5 stars: prompt, polite. The cosmopolitan was very good and well made. The fish and chips were delicious and arrived hot. The fish was crispy and flaky. The tartar sauce was good. Fries were hot. The caramel brownie w/ ice cream was 1 star. It was incredibly less than average and nothing special. I would not order dessert again. The view of Morro Rock and the bay is spectacular. The restaurant ambiance is pleasant and bright. read more

We had calamari, grilled salmon with fries, seared ahi salad, and cioppino. The calamari was lightly battered and flavored just right. It was accompanied by three types of dipping sauces. You can choose from light to heavy. The grilled salmon was very fresh. But the skin could have been crispier. The fries that came along with the fish was very delicious-- crispy and well seasoned. The lunch cioppino had two pieces of shrimp, plenty of fish, mussels, calamari, and clams. The stew was thick and nicely flavored.. Not too salty. This dish comes with two pieces of cheese garlic bread, which were a highlight of our meal. The seared ahi tuna salad canes with some sliced avocado and fried wonton shells, which I skipped to reduce carbs. The salad was seasoned with slightly citrus dressing. Very tasty. The seared ahi tuna, however, was a bit veiny. The restaurant is situated by the water overlooking the Morro Bay Rock. Parking was free for the entire area. For someone from LA it was a very nice and quaint place to relax, walk around, and enjoy good food. Overall it was a very pleasant experience. read more

Absolutely our favorite restaurant in Morro Bay!! They have the best Fish & Chips in town with a nice beer batter & you must order the garlic fries. They are so garlicky & delicious but you will need a breath mint when you're done. You must go on a Sat. night & order the prime rib. Hands down the best Prime Rib I have ever had anywhere!!! It's served with garlic mashed potatoes & fresh veggies that even my husband loved along with soup or salad. If you love fish like I do, you must try the Sand Dabs served in a lemon caper sauce.....it's so good that I always have a hard time choosing which item to order. The only way to solve that problem is we just go more than once when we are in town. The clam chowder is great & the service is always outstanding. Dutchman's is the most consistent restaurant & I been dining there since 1977. read more

Yes, the service is slow, but when your with friends or family it is FUN! the by far fav of our family is the AMAZING fish and chips they have. Trust me, the wait is worth it for them. :P...... P.s. Spectacular veiw ESPECIALLY at night. read more

Flying Dutchman is a beautiful restaurant right on the water. Perfect views of the bay, the rock, and sunset. Inside, metal and cobalt-blue tile art create an upscale ambiance. They have a full bar and make good, strong drinks. The waitstaff are always very friendly and courteous. The fish and chips are delicious. Hands-down, they make some of the best fish and chips out there; the batter is light, crispy, and flavorful. The garlic fries are delicious and the double-fudge brownie is the perfect ending to what will definitely be an incredible meal. The fish tacos and BBQ oysters are also really good. Flying Dutchman is pretty pricey, but as we discussed over our meal, the food is good, the atmosphere is great, and the service is excellent. We will definitely be back. I gave this four stars because it is a bit pricey, especially for fish and chips. Also, they don't have their own restroom. You must go outside to use the public restroom. Ew. read more

Excellent service, food was great. Very reasonable... Great happy hour. Has a great view of the bay!

Really nothing to complain about here. They have the menu outside before you enter. I figure at that point you accepted the selections and prices before entrance. That said, I think they delivered what we expected. The food, service, and atmosphere, were all agreeable to our entire group. Does not accept American Express! read more

I like this place and almost always stop at least once when I'm in town. The food is pretty good, though yes, as some other reviewers have pointed out, tends to be pretty greasy. I do like the fish and chips and the clam chowder. It feels like the "Denny's" of restaurants on Embarcadero, but sue me, I like it. The service can be touch-and-go and this particular time we had a kind of cranky waiter, but the beautiful view made up for it. read more

We dined there on a weeknight, and although the food was passable, the service was horrible. it wasn't even very busy, but I had to ask four times for cocktail sauce and they delivered the incorrect check to us (once with a credit card) four times. As for the food, well I was disappointed with the few choices of grilled seafood entrees. I didn't really want salmon or sand dabs. My husband tried the latter and he said it was good. I opted for a shrimp "crab Louie" salad, and asked for cocktail sauce instead of thousand island dressing. The salad was ok, but nothing to write home about, even though it did have a lot of shrimp. We also both had a cup of clam chowder, and although it wasn't bad, you just can't compare it to the Galley. But I have to say, the poor service just ruined our whole experience. If you want fried fish or anything with fries this is probably the place for you, but if you want a nice grilled entree, then look elsewhere. read more

Breathtaking views, excellent fish and chips, a children's menu and a deck for photo ops make this a hands down recommendation for anyone looking for some great fish and chips (plus more non fish related items). read more

It's been awhile, but came here during a family lunch. Waited quite awhile but Main Street was packed and it was lunchtime. I shared the tuna sandwich and fries with my husband. It was decent, precise were decent, service was great. My uncle got sick after eating way too many raw oysters but that was most likely his fault. I would come back and try something different. read more

Just had a great lunch. Clam chowder was amazing. Very nice to find the different flavors and lots of clams. Shrimp and chips very good. Service was great. Thank You Patty S. Can't wait till next trip to Morro. Might have to be this weekend to check out the new bar. Great view and very clean. read more

We went for lunch. My husband had the fish & chips (garlic fries) and he said it was the best he ever had. I had the clam chowder and it was wonderful. I also had a fantastic bloody mary! The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The price was very fair. Great time great food! read more
