    Line moves fast, order, get a buzzer, find a seat, food ready in 15 minutes.  Model of efficiency!
    Mina L.

    After a long walk on the beach, we found ourselves sooooo hungry. Wooly's is located right by the pier. Arrived Saturday at 3pm, just in time for happy hour. The line was 6 people deep and went quickly. We ordered a crispy chicken sandwiche , wings, & garlic fries. Our buzzer buzzed about 15 minutes after ordering. Everything came out hot and delicious. Considering how busy it was they got our food out quickly. The place has seating, indoors and out. We were able to find seats indoors, away from the sun. They can definitely have more umbrellas out there. Inside was nice and cool with a bar and sports playing on the tv. I would recommend Wooly's for awesome beachside food.

    Decent burgers and tacos. Pretty much what you would expect from a place like this but it's done well. We enjoyed the meal and even though it was really busy, the food came out in good time and the tables were clean.

    While visiting the Pismo area while on vacay. Some friends recommended Wooly's for some good lunch snackeroos. Fish tacos were highly recommended so I decided to give em a shot. Wifey went with the chicken nachos. Fish tacos were not bad. I prefer grilled over battered so personal preference. But the Nachos were fiya! Had to sacrifice my body and help the wifey with the nachos since it is way too much for one person . Outdoor seating is nice but can be a bit warm sometimes and don't feed the birds lol

    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!

    Gorgeous view!!

    It was definitely hard to beat the gorgeous view - easy sunset from seating on the deck! Ordering was easy, and the Cobb salad was everything it needed to be. I'm picky, but my substitutions were easy and they got my order correct. So glad we stopped in for dinner while in town!!

    Fish tacos

    The food was great! I had the fish tacos and my husband had the Chilaquiles. At Woolley's you go to the counter and order your food and they bring it to you. As soon as we were done eating they came immediately to gather the dirty dishes and clean the table.

    Chicken nachos

    Great vibe and the crispy chicken sandwich was the best my daughter got that sorry no picture I got the chicken nachos they were very dry even with all the sides piled on top. But I was hungry I ate them.

    Side of beans, rice & sour cream

    We stopped in for dinner and the prices and food were good! Staff was friendly and helpful but the seating situation was like the Wild West...I love a pet friendly when the pets are...well...friendly? Beautiful location and I won't let the couple with absolutely no clue that if their dog bites them it is probably not safe around strangers ruin the review. Minus a star mainly because snarling and barking dog should have been asked to leave...

    Haven't been here in a while. It's been at least several years and we stopped going here because the quality of the food went down and the service was horrible. Tried it again today and loving the new counter service approach. The food was really good and the atmosphere was great. I'll definitely be back.

    Outdoor dining!

    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.

    Fish and Chips
    Rakshit P.

    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.

    Fried cheese curds- delicious!
    Kam D.

    We loved dining at Wooly's! The food was so delicious! Our family had: the chicken sandwich, fried cheese curds, burgers, wedge salad, and onion rings. Everything was bomb! The ambiance was great (we ate outside and had a beautiful view of the ocean). If you're ever in Pismo, Wooly's is a must!

    Happy Hour
    Michelle N.

    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.

    No Heated as far as I Know- but we were seated indoors with a great view.

    Are you open for outdoor seating?

    Yes.

    Can someone confirm Wooly's seating hours? I work in fire and we finish shift around dark. I'd made reservations at Oyster Loft a while ago and realized upon seating that Wooly's was still open at almost 8 PM. Yelp says 11-6, site says 11-close?

    Hi Tim. I'm a new Manager at Woolys/Oyster Loft (transferred from other location) and wanted to let you know that Woolys is open 11-8 (Sun-Thurs) and 11-9 (Fri/Sat). I'll be sure to get our listing updated with current, accurate information. We do…

I honestly wasn't sure I'd like the sauce, but I ended up really loving it. They offer white rice for an extra $3, but I skipped it and didn't feel like I needed it. Both of my kids ordered the kids' cheeseburgers and really enjoyed them. I'd seen some negative reviews about the service, but that wasn't our experience at all. Our waiter was attentive, the food came out promptly, and the service was excellent. The atmosphere is really fun, with an old-school '50s diner feel, surfboards and beach decor throughout, plus big-screen TVs if you want to watch sports. It was also entertaining watching other guests attempt the huge stacked-burger challenge. One guy finished it surprisingly fast! They also have milkshakes with different flavors you can mix together. Definitely not for anyone dieting, but they sounded delicious. If you're in the Pismo Beach area, I highly recommend Cool Cat Cafe. Great food, great service, and a fun atmosphere for the whole family.

    An Unforgettable Birthday Dinner with Breathtaking Ocean Views!…read more We came to Ventana Grill in Pismo Beach for a Sunday night dinner date to celebrate my wife's birthday. This place definitely gets packed, so I highly recommend reserving a table in advance. We were lucky enough to get a window seat, and the outdoor patio views of the ocean are simply amazing! On top of that, the staff here has definitely become even more friendly--our server, Zach, was super efficient and attentive throughout our meal. The food was incredible from start to finish: * Mahi Mahi Fish Ceviche: We started with this alongside fresh tortilla chips, and it was honestly one of the best ceviches we've ever had. * Clam Chowder Soup: This special clam chowder came served with Parmesan cheese bread, which was absolute perfection. Again, hands down one of the best soups we've tasted! * Molcajete Surtido: For our main dish, we ordered this classic feast loaded with grilled colossal shrimp, arrachera steak, chicken breast, chorizo, spring onion, jalapeño peppers, nopalitos, avocado, pork rinds, molcajete salsa, queso fresco, and corn tortillas, served with a side of rice and beans. All the meats were so tender and flavorful, and the rice and beans were really nice. We were so full that we didn't even get to touch the tortillas! To top off a wonderful evening, they brought out a complimentary ice cream with a candle to celebrate my wife's birthday, which was such a thoughtful and sweet touch. Whether you're planning a special date night or a family outing, we definitely recommend Ventana Grill!

I thought it was even better than the kids' fish and chips. I had the rockfish bowl over brown rice, which was a very large portion and tasted incredibly fresh. My husband had the fish tacos and loved them as well. Pricing felt pretty standard for fresh seafood in a vacation town. For our family of 4, it came to around $155 after tip without alcohol or dessert, and we left completely stuffed. If you're visiting Pismo Beach and looking for fresh seafood and generous portions, I definitely recommend Ada's Fish House. We're down here for a little getaway, and this was a great dinner choice.

We both ordered the seafood platter for lunch, and chose the soup as the side (one clam chowder, one chicken tortilla). While the wait staff was very good and the wait time was typical for noontime, once the food arrived, the quality of the meal was quite substandard, especially for this area. I have never had such gristly fish, ever. I had to work hard to cut through it with a typical butter knife. It had no flavor and was unpleasant to chew. There was no flakiness to any of the four pieces. The shrimp was good, but I assume it was frozen. The cocktail sauce and the tartar sauce were both delicious, but it just wasn't enough to mask the texture of the fish. I then tried the chicken tortilla soup since the waiter recommended it. Instead of chicken meat, it has chicken skin. Gross. I will say the clam chowder was very good, and I regretted not ordering it. I'm sorry to say we won't be back unless just for a cup of chowder and a beer.
