    My dad recommended this place and it was a good recommendation. Definitely gives off local diner vibes but with a seaside theme all around! There's parking directly in front of the restaurant. The hostess was friendly and so were the staff! We ordered some breakfast and they made the pancakes we got for my son into the shape of Mickey which was super cute and a nice touch! I really enjoyed the little detail of sending yourself a postcard that the restaurants gives you and they mail it in it behalf!! Such a cute touch!

    Eat there at your own risk They have a bunch of theives working for them...Watch your stuff. I would not eat anything these guys had their hands in ...By eating there you are supporting human trafficing and crime in Morro Bay...A lot of the crime I see in that area seems to have Dockside as the "epicenter"..I hope Dockside will wise up and get rid of them

    Only here to judge the oysters, my typical oyster place was closed today and decided to try this place instead. Their oysters were fresh but wasn't as sweet and there were shell pieces in the oyster which did not make it enjoyable. Overall I just feel that you could find better elsewhere.

    This was our first time here. It was amazing ! We had the 5 piece fish ,fries & large bowl of their clam chowder. We had a great server ! So amazing I think we'll be back again !

    Perfect patio for pups

    Very happy with our meals whenever we come here. The service is always friendly and efficient Love the postcards they let you write to friends and loved ones- they will mail them for you as well Cute and cozy decor Dog friendly on the patio with wonderful views of the rock We normally go for breakfast, but have been later in the day as well with friends Plenty of parking

    We were traveling along Pacific Coast Highway, and I always loved Morro Bay as a kid so I had to show it to my friend who was traveling with me. After looking at the otters and enjoying the spectacle that is Morro Rock, we decided to get something to eat. We looked at various eateries and chose this one. It was pretty good. I ordered the fish sandwich and my friend ordered the Pasta Primavera. The portions were generous, and the service was very friendly. My fish sandwich was served dry, and it was more pan fried than battered and fried, but the tartar sauce was tasty and the fish seasoned well and not fishy tasting. It was a lot of bread and very filling. My friend thought her Pasta Primavera was ok. She said the sauce wasn't as garlicky as she would have liked, and it was a little soupy. The garlic bread was only toasted on one side, and so the side that was to the pasta got soggy. She said the pasta was cooked well, and the vegetables were good. So ok but nothing special. Overall, a quiet pleasant spot to enjoy a meal after a long drive and a walk, enjoying nature. Morro Bay is still one of my favorite places, and I know I'll come back again when I can.

    We love Morro Bay and we ate outside with our dog

    We enjoyed breakfast outside with our dog. Ashley our server made sure we were well cared for with treats and water for our pup and excellent service. The food was good and plentiful. The menu had many options and we enjoyed our meal. We sat outside with a view of the water. This place ticked all the boxes for us and our pup.

    Steak sandwich wasn't terrible but not exciting either.

    Not kid friendly small crowded space tables are too close to each other service was not great waited 15 min for a menu after we were seated food was 4-out of 10 I got the shrimp scampi it was watery and not tasty. They did have quite a few selections on the menu maybe I just ordered the wrong item ? Anyway won't be coming back here.

    Stopped by this gem the other week and if you like live music and one of the best views of the bay and Morro Rock then this is the spot. They have great seating and the service is fast, professional, and tasty. I recommend this spot for sure, one of my favorite in the central coast.

    Very friendly staff. The service was quick. We ordered the BBQ Oysters and the Clam Chowder Bread Bowl. Oh my!!! I was in Oyster Heaven. The BBQ Oysters had Garlic Butter, Lemon Slices, asked for crackers, plus they brought a variety of sauces for add ons. We ordered the half a dozen, but put in a second order because they were so good. If you want delicious BBQ oysters Yummy! The Clam Chowder Bread Bowl did not disappoint. Filled to the top and overflowing. Came with additional garlic bread slices. Just right in taste. Creamy plenty of clams.

    Love the designated dog area. Except with the wall you can't see the water and base of the rock.

    Oops. Actually I have no idea if it is worthy of 5 stars. I posted a review and I couldn't rescind after I posted. I didn't want to make the Yelp reviews go down on account of my rating for dockside too. Read my review for the dockside too.

    We came here specifically for their fresh caught seafood and chowders and were not disappointed. We went to the restaurant portion as opposed to the seaside shack as we needed a place to sit and gather our bearings a bit.  The place exudes classic diner vibes, if diners had fresh seafood and a view of a giant rock island off the coast. The chowder cured us of our hangover and the seafood platter filled us up without weighing us down too much. Definitely a worthwhile stop and the food was solid.

The Morro Bay car show is going on for three days lots of cruisers passing our patio table. We decided on their bowl ofseafood chowder it was velvety thick excellent generous portions of scallops, clams, shrimp complemented with small bites of potato's with all the perfect spices it was a 10. We added two filet mignon steak fajitas but taco style. They were delicious the seasoned filet mignon along with the sweet onions and peppers with a queso fresco on a warm corn tortillas were outstanding We topped our terrific late lunch off with a moist flavorful piece of carrot cake and carmel sauce that we shared. James our waiter was super friendly. STAX along with their perfected menu has large impressive selection of local and notable wines and champagne. STAX has a perfect laid back atmosphere to enjoy with friends. Our next trip we'll enjoy a couple bottles and the sunset

    Small update to a previous review…read more Went back two days later and absolutely wonderful service from the staff again (TY Cici). They are such a fun group and really make STAX a great place to hang out. Tried the Margherita pizza and chicken wings. So delicious. Even took another order of wings to go and enjoy back at the hotel.

I tried to ask someone one time where the tasting room is and they weren't very friendly. But now it is very clearly marked and I was easily able to find it on my own this time. You can tell it's been newly remodeled. My friends and I decided to do the tasting. All of us like white wine only. They have a few selections but of course the one I really wanted to try wasn't available that day. And that was ok. They gave me 6 tokens to give one each time i wanted my next tasting. Well sine they didn't have one of the wines I wanted and white wine was more limited I asked if I could turn in two chips for two tastings of the same wine. And I did this also so I didn't have to come in and bother them as soon for another pour of the same thing. I was told they don't do that .... But then they did. It just doesn't make sense to me. I also was trying to be nice and I just felt like she was wasn't super friendly. This place has a gorgeous set up outside. They have nice comfy seating or high top tables which overlook the rolling green hills. This time of the year is absolutely beautiful. I can see the warmer months not being as pretty because I'm sure everything turns brown. I also loved watching the animals down below. The scenery was so majestic. I will definitely be back again. This will probably be on my list of "must visits" every time I visit Cambria. There are just certain places you that you always remember and must go back to, and this is one of them for me.
