Very delicious, I got a quesadilla and my family got wings and tacos and we all loved our dishes. Although they were busy, they still had great service with kind workers. The restaurant was on the pier so the ambiance was just fantastic with fellow travelers bringing conversation to the restaurant. I would recommend this hidden gem! read more

My family and I loved visiting Pismo Beach a few weeks ago and decided to stop again on the way home to check out Wooly's for lunch! It's a little beachfront restaurant that offers a little bit of everything! They offer burgers, sandwiches, tacos, salads and plenty of seafood items like steamed clams, Shrimp Po Boy sandwich and Clam Chowder! We ordered the Philly Cheesesteak with Fries, Kids Quesadilla with Fries, Baja Fish Tacos and a side of Veggie Sticks (which were real veggies). Everything was really good - I loved my tacos. They were flavorful and fresh! Wooly's also offers great drinks as well with a giant bar inside! We really loved sitting outside on the patio - it had great views of the boardwalk and ocean! We couldn't have picked a better day to go too - the weather was beautiful! Wooly's is the type of place where you order at the counter and then they bring you your food - staff were still attentive and helpful even after we received our food. DO NOT FEED THE BIRDS! Overall, it was a good meal with good views! I would absolutely come back the next time we are visiting Pismo Beach! Check them out! read more

We tried Wooly's for the first time last night and unfortunately, it will probably be our last. We usually go to Cool Cat Café or Splash Café for their clam chowder, but since we visit Pismo often, we wanted to try something new. The photos online (and even how the food looked in person) were really appealing, but the taste didn't match. The food was very bland overall. I ordered the asada fries they weren't terrible, but they weren't good either. It just felt like a mix of ingredients thrown together without much flavor or thought behind it. My husband ordered the calamari and chips, and his experience was similar very bland, and the fries were cold. My kids said their meals were just okay. My son had the fish and chips and mentioned that at least the fish tasted fresh. The atmosphere was decent. We did have to ask for our table to be cleaned, but the staff took care of it quickly once we mentioned it. Overall, I think the biggest improvement would be focusing on adding more flavor to the food. read more

The vibes at this place especially during sunset are amazing. The outdoor seating is first come first serve so if it's busy you'll have to awkwardly standby waiting for people to leave. It's probably best to wait until you have a table before ordering because the food is pretty quick. The food was good, the chowder was a little cold and thick for my son's liking but my salad and a cold beer were good. read more

We go to woollies a lot we're from out of town so when I see a lot meaning about once or twice a year.. it's nice because you can take your dog and they have dog water for them. This time I got a wedge salad and it was really good. We also ordered fish tacos. Everything was good and refreshing. There's always more people eating than there is seating. So it's good to find a seat first before you go up and order. If that's a possibility. read more

This is a great casual spot right on the beach in the center of Pismo Beach by the pier. My family enjoyed it so much during our stay that we went twice in 2 days! It's very casual, you order at the counter and then pickup your food when it's ready. You can order drinks at a separate counter and they have nice selection of beers on draft. We ordered a variety of items on both visits and everything was delicious. The stand outs were the Seafood Roll and the Fisherman sandwiches. Highly recommend for anyone swinging through Pismo, I would go back on my next visit. read more

We were at the pier during lunch time and saw this place. Found a table easily and placed the order. They have counter service here. Fish and chips were ok. The fries were the better of the two. Onion rings were nice and crunchy. Chicken Sandwich was good. Cauliflower bites were also surprisingly good. Service was friendly. Overall a good option if you are at the pier. read more

Stopped in for breakfast before walking on pier & beach. When you get there- order food on one side and drinks on other side. You get a vibrating caller and find a seat . There's a window to pick up your food. I got a breakfast burrito so did hubs and they were huge, kids got a dish to share- breakfast nachos, & granddaughter got classic cheese crisp. Great food and place to eat. read more

Great Food, Sunset Views & Extremely Dog-Friendly! We had a fantastic experience at Wooly's in Pismo Beach. The restaurant is located right on the pier with beautiful ocean views, making it an absolutely perfect spot to enjoy a meal--especially at sunset. Wooly's has a great happy hour, and we loved that they are very dog-friendly, allowing dogs on the patio and even offering a dog menu. That alone earns big points in our book! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming--not just to us, but to our dogs as well. While our pups can get a little excited and bark occasionally when they see other dogs, the staff was kind, understanding, and genuinely happy to have them there. We always do our best to make sure they don't disturb other guests, and the team handled everything with warmth and professionalism. The food was tasty and reasonably priced. We ordered burgers, chips with salsa and guacamole, plus beer and wine--and everything hit the spot. Of course, we also ordered beef patties from the dog menu, and our dogs were absolutely in heaven. Between the delicious food, friendly service, dog-friendly atmosphere, and watching the sun set over the ocean, this was a truly enjoyable experience. Perfect location, great vibes, and a wonderful time overall. We will definitely be back! read more

We had a great lunch here on the patio on a Wednesday. Since it was a weekday it was not hard to get a table, and we were able to have our dog on the patio with us! If you sit on the patio, you do have to go inside to order and pickup your food, so one of us had to stay with the dog while the other ordered. They had water bowls available on the patio for dogs and even a dog menu! We got our dog a pup patty. For lunch I had the side salad with blue cheese and a cup of clam chowder. The side salad is a large portion, but I wasn't a huge fan of their blue cheese. The clam chowder portion was a bit small, and it was okay clam chowder, maybe a bit light on the seasoning. My husband had the Fisherman sandwich, which he found to be a little too sweet. Overall not the best food, but a great view! read more

Excellent view of the pier and ocean. We decided to stop after seeing the menu. This is a walk up to order and food is separate from the bar. Our food came out quickly and our margaritas were on point. The bartender was quick and generous. I had the clam chowder in a bread bowl and my wife had the chilaquiles with an egg. My chowder had a good amount of chunky clams and vegetables, nice and thick and creamy. The chilaquiles were absolutely the most tasty I've had. Big chunks of chilis, spicy but tasty sauce and the egg was perfect. No need to go anywhere else! read more

I loved this spot. The view was just amazing. I came on a week night and it was crowded but still able to snag a seat. The counter service can be cumbersome, but probably best for such a beautiful oceanside view. I hope I can come back this way and enjoy more food and mostly the view. I was pleased with my cheeseburger read more

I love their outside patio! You put your order inside, when it's ready your buzzer buzzes and you get up and get your order. I love the view of the ocean and the people. And of course the outside patio is dog friendly. I love their food, I think it all is delicious!!!! My husband loves their clam chowder and their fish tacos had a Chipotle sauce which was delicious! This restaurant is a must for us when we visit Pismo Beach. read more

Wooly's - Breakfast burrito, clam chowder, chicken tenders, and fish tacos - BOMB!!! - Seafood Near Me - Pismo Beach, California

~Food/Drinks~ Clam Chowder Bowl: Can also do cup or bread bowl. Being in Pismo Beach, I was expecting delicious clam chowder and I think Wooly's hit the mark! It was creamy and chunky with the potatoes and clams. A bowl is the perfect amount for sharing. Each order also comes with a bag of oyster crackers. Wedge Salad: Obligatory salad dish to offset all the fried food. I liked that the dressing was on the side because I find most places tend to drown their wedge salad. The candied walnuts were a nice touch too. Cheese Curds: This is a whole pound so it's definitely meant for sharing. I was hoping for the squeaky cheese but it was more like bite-sized pieces of mozzarella sticks. Still good though and I really liked the thick chipotle aioli it came with. You can also ask for ranch when you pick up your food. Philly Cheesesteak: I wasn't expecting much but when it came out, wow, did it look and smell delicious. It was this scramble of rib eye chunks, onions, and bell peppers...all held together by melted cheese. Pretty good! Very messy to eat because everything falls out of the sandwich so get some utensils to finish up. Alaskan Cod Fish n' Chips: Comes with 3 pieces, fried to golden perfection. It's crispy with a flaky, moist middle. So good but I wish the pieces were a little bigger for the price we paid. Each order comes with waffle fries but for $4, you can upgrade to garlic parmesan. Highly recommend and you'll understand why once you smell the garlic! ~Service~ Very little service interaction between ordering and leaving. You line-up at the counter and receive a buzzer for your order. If you have a larger party, I recommend having half of the group start scoping tables because it's first come, first served. When your food is ready, you can pick it up from a window across the room, along with utensils, napkins, and various condiments. At the end of your meal, you can help yourself to to-go boxes on either side of the room. ~Atmosphere~ Located right along the beach and within walking distance from the Pier, Wooly's has a tourist feel to it. Looking at the reviews, it seems like it's mostly tourists that dine-in but it makes sense because who wouldn't want to eat on the patio with such an amazing view of the ocean? The indoor dining is open-air so you can feel the nice sea breeze but there were a lot of flies and some even landed on our food. Kind of gives it a dive bar feel...but the food was delicious so it didn't matter to me. ~Logistics~ Located right next to the beach, there doesn't seem to be any dedicated parking for the restaurant. I honestly wouldn't even try to drive down towards the restaurant and you'll be better of trying your luck in one of the paid lots a couple of blocks away. We only had to pay $6 an hour, which was more than enough time for our lunch. ~Conclusion~ Overall, I enjoyed pretty much everything we ordered. Highly recommend if you're in the area for something quick and easy! read more

Fish and chips were great! I really enjoyed the tartar sauce and the waffle fries too. I feel like you don't usually come across waffle fries when ordering fish and chips, so this was a fun twist! Employees were really nice and helpful (I had a hard time finding where to pick up my order, but it's right across from where you order.) You can choose to sit inside or outside as well, since you need to order your food first and then find your own spot to sit. As this restaurant is right by the pier, it can get pretty crowded. We saw several kids running around loose and bumping into people, which got quite annoying. read more

Even during a sunset rush, food was out within minutes. Ordered a few things to try. Service was friendly and very quick. The fish tacos and shrimp tacos were delicious. The shrimp ones were similar to a tempura. I think the fish ones were better. Tried the nacho skillet and I don't think that was worth it. The chips were pretty hard and overcooked. It has potential but it didn't hit the spot like I thought it would. I'll be back and recommend the outdoor tables during sunset and then walking the boardwalk area after. read more

Save your money and don't bother to come here. The food was mediocre at best. The chowder tastes like they popped it out of a can of condensed soup. We ordered one of their mixed drinks and the pineapple or guava they used tasted rancid. Went back up to the bar and asked to switch it out for a beer instead. The bartender was rude as can be instead of apologizing or being helpful. This place is absolute trash. read more

Decent. The overall dining experience is below average, but I did enjoy the chilaquiles. It comes with salsa verde, not rojo, and it's a good balance between sour, creamy, and savory. The biggest issue I have is with how soggy the tortillas were. They were super fragile, and it was more like the consistency of oatmeal. Maybe it's a personal preference, but most good restaurant chilaquiles have a good balance with the tortillas. These were really soggy. I also found it odd that they served me a hot metal skillet but only had plastic utensils. Also, the table I sat at was super sticky. I feel like the service could be better. I get that it's busy, but there's another notch I feel like everyone could get to as far as being personable, cleaning the dining area, and overall vibe. The workers didn't clean while no one was sitting, but as soon as myself and other customers sat to eat, they were sweeping and cleaning, and it was just a big mess. I also didn't really like the young lady at the register, I felt like she didn't want to be there and she talks really loud. You could hear her from across the restaurant, and it wasn't even that loud or busy. The place screams college when I feel like it should be more of a laid back adult vibe. It probably doesn't help that I'm new to Pismo Beach, but this all felt very touristy. I would go as far as to say it was an outright trap, but it sure felt that way. Super reminiscent of a Huntington Beach tourist trap for all my OC natives. Overall, decent, though, and I'd probably come back to try the seafood if a neighboring place doesn't catch my attention first. read more

What a perfect coastal lunch spot- amazing views, delicious food, and great value! Came here on a Sunday with the family and we were all so pleased! You go on in the restaurant & order at the counter, then pick up your food when ready. In the mean time, you look for a table on your own, and the views are breathtaking! Waves and sand, just right there! We ordered Clam Chowder in a Bread Bowl, Cheeseburger Sliders with Fries, a Clam Chowder Skillet, a Wedge Salad, and a side of Fresh Veggies, all off the charts awesome! Take a look at the pictures, you'll be happy too! Everything was absolutely perfect! What was cool was they served the Clam Chowder in a to go container so you could pour how much you would like at a time, and take the rest if needed. I requested some of the Wedge toppings on the side, and it was perfect...value wise, it was an insane amount of lettuce- just wow! The portions were ample with everything, & the textures with the sliders, buns, and fries... beautiful. Everyone at our table was just super content and we will definitely be back- well done! read more

Great joint for hanging out! Sri La were EXCELLENT (we had a total of 4!). The food was very good and generous portions! The fish and chips were not overly greasy like some joints! It was very busy, but we got our food fairly quickly! The bus boy outside was working hard to keep the tables clean...Keanu was a real sweet kid! I would definitely call this a family friendly restaurant...will come again with the grandkids! The only reason for the 4 star is the onion rings were a bit overcooked, and hubby's tuna sandwich was a little dry. read more

Stopped by here on Memorial Day for a quick bite and was surprised at how good it was and reasonably priced. You order first and pay then someone brings your order to you. Beef quesadillas 9/10 it was really good and I would definitely order it again. I was surprised at how full it was and that it had a lot of flavor, I wasn't expecting much but it definitely surprised me. Downside is they don't have hot salsa. Waffle fries 4/10 not the most amazing waffle fries and lacking salt but okay enough if you have a craving, I dipped mine in ranch. Cobb salad - 8/10 really good and really filling, I wish the chicken had more flavor but definitely big enough to share amongst others. read more

Wooly's is a beautiful little place along the boardwalk and beach in PismoBeach and you can't really beat the view and atmosphere. The food seemed pretty good but the only complaint I have, and it's really not the restaurant's fault, is that we sat out side and the wind cooled our food off very quickly and took away from the meal. Best advice is to eat inside on a windy day. read more

As locals we typically avoid the "tourist trap" restaurants. It has been YEARS since my husband and I had eaten at Wooly's and decided what the heck let's hit it for our weekday lunch date... His seafood salad was good and the onion rings/waffle fries were as expected. The big disappointment for me was the crispy chicken sandwich. A FROZEN chicken patty! Could not believe it wasn't battered/fried to order. I get that it's cafe beach food and you're paying more for the view than the food but holy cow that was shocking and almost inedible without all the toppings covering for it. We agreed it's permanently out of the rotation for lunch date options. read more
