Bayside Cafe Reviews

Accidentally found this place and did not regret it. Great, wonderful carrot cake!

Excellent food! This is our 3rd time here. Fish n chips, clam chowder, CA clam chowder, shrimp scampi and clam strips have all been sooo yummy and ...prepare to share as the portions are a hefty size. Tonight my husband ordered the special baked Pacific halibut, cooked to perfection! Probably the best "bite" of halibut I've ever had (he wouldn't share anymore!)

Great food and amazing service afyer an afternoon of kayaking in Morro Bay.

The food and service is been amazing. Super fresh and delicious. Every. Time.

Good food, nice location, great service, friendly staff and dog friendly!

It was good! There was a wait but worth it. I appreciated it being dog friendly.

Always a treat, worth the wait fir seating outside or in. Reliably good food, great chowder. Lovely views.

Location right on the water. Very friendly team and very good food.

Top notch service for excellent food, I had my birthday dinner here and had an amazing experience. I recommend sitting outside, the view is incredible.

On vacation and checked with the Chamber of Commerce. They recommended this place. I see why. The burrito was under $10 and was plenty for two. The best part was that they were dog friendly.

Visit often...We like the Bayside ambiance appeal with boats and sea life bay views. But the food is expensive and lacks flavor. Haven't had a good meal there in a long time.

Terrific beach setting with great good and fun waitress.

Delicious and wonderful food, excellent service, and a worm family atmosphere.

So amazing to have a yummy restaurant within walking distance of our campsite! Great food and service!

Nice selection with an emphasis on seafood. Good service, good food, good view of the water. A little noisy, but I didn't notice it until my mother, who was wearing hearing aids, complained.

Great Mexican dishes and gluten free options. California chowder is a mix of Chile Verde and clam chowder. Slo brew on tap

Food is wonderful. We ordered takeout, brought our own table & chairs and ate by the bay.

FISH AND CHIPS, the best around. Delicious Alaskan cod fried in a light batter, served with homemade tartar sauce. The chips /fries are just okay. I substitute for a salad.
I've been coming here for over 30 years. A hidden gem, nestled behind the golf course, and state park. Great views of the tiny marina, and Morro Bay. Funky indoor and outdoor seating with heaters and umbrellas.
Other food suggestions for dinner (only Thursday - Sunday) Steamers for 2, clams, mussels, crab claws, scallops, & shrimp. $28
For lunch, the char-broil salmon sandwich ask for grilled onions on top. Also their nachos, giant burritos and tostadas are good. Delicious chowders, and a spicy green chili soup. Service is fantastic, plenty of free parking. Be prepared to wait for a table especially on weekends. Afterwards hike up to the nature museum or rent a kayak foot steps away.

Thanks nachos are amazing. A great spot to get off the beaten path a bit.

Always fantastic food and service. Salmon sandwich is our favorite!!

Friendly staff, great food
Worth returning

Inside, outside dining, view of Morro Rock, brunch and lunch have always been great.

Amazing food and wait staff. We had an obnoxious table of 12 that all showed up over the course of an hour. And then asked to be reseated. The staff was incredibly patient with us, and then the food was top notch on top of it all. THANK YOU!

Excellent place for fried green tomatoes topped with scallops , sunset view and glass of wine.

I always eat here when in town. The food here is very good and very fresh. The atmosphere is relaxing and inviting.

Loved it here. Their food was so delicious, especially their fish and chips. Atmosphere is great and the service was friendly.

Great food, but plan on a possible 45 minute wait. Sign-in at the podium. Ask for the estimated time for your name to be called. We walked around the museum grounds and gift shop to kill time. We'll eagerly pay the $3 entrance fee next time. Love that the cafe offers a 1/2 sando and salad. French Dip was A+, shrimp cocktail had a neato herby flavor A+, and the shrimp and chips had a light and tasty beer batter, A+ here, too. The bar only serves beer and wine, no mixers. I completely forgot to snap photos of our meal...next time. After dining at a super table next to the window, we walked through the parking lot, along the boat dock and then out to the boardwalk. Here, I remembered to snap some photos of Morro Rock and the bay. Loved this lunch and easy walk. Perfect way to spend a couple of hours for locals, visitors and pets.

Ordered the fish and chips, full order ($18) to share with my gf. Big portions. I wasn't starving so just shared with her.

Our server, Sabah, was super sweet and helped us make a decision on our order.

Tres leches cake was dry though...

One of our favorite restaurants! Great food and great location!

The wait wasn't too long. The fish was fresh and the service was excellent. I enjoy the views from the windows and enjoy the people ,always excellent service.

Very pleasant and picturesque - a great place for lunch.

The best restaurant in Morro Bay. Have the veggie burrito if you're hungry, or spoil yourself and have the fries. You won't be sorry. From now on we're going every week. See you there!!

Excellent food and service in quaint Bayside setting

Good food. Good staff. Everything is less expensive in MO so it is difficult for me to say the price was good. Long wait so many others think it's good!

Best food in Morro Bay. Awesome fish and chips! Fish of the day salad rocks!

Great steamer plate. Enough food for 2 and great variety in a perfect wine sauce.

Great place, great food and great service. Try to go here every trip to Morro Bay.

There were 4 of us that went there one had shrimp & chips 2of us had chicken & chips and one had the hamburger with cheese & bacon it was all very delicious Very friendly staff. Next time we're up here we'll go back

Very nice staff that I always recognize whenever I go to central California. Fish Tacos and fish and chips were good (I always used to get them before going vegan; they have other great options as well) and the atmosphere is exquisite and unmatched.

Friendly and kind staff, wonderful food, and a great view of the beach

Fish and chips great. Outside seating with heaters and a glorious sunset

Excellent food....good social distancing....pleasant staff.

Many good seafood and local favorite
dishes are offered. A quaint eating establishment with both indoor and outdoor seating, and a good view of the south bay. They were easily able to accommodate our large group.

Great food! Rather local audience. Not too expensive. Very big crowd. Had to wait for a place.

Even if you have to wait for a table this place and the food is awesome.

If you dont mind the wait, the service and food are top notch!

Great little place to enjoy great food. If you like the classic clam chowder in sour dough bread bowl, you will love their's. Both indoor and outdoor seating and take out window.

Use old oil to fried the food.
and my fish is so burn.

Excellent place with good food and service. Must try Cod Tacos.

Love this place! The food and the service is always great!

What a secret gem!!! Very friendly staff, laid-back cozy atmosphere, and the best salmon sandwich EVER.

California clam chowder is a game changer... fantastic!

Fantastic food always, service is impeccable. Thank you.

Great location. Food was ok. My lunch plate was fish, fries and a cup of chowder for $19.99. The fish was bland, chowder was good but nothing to write home about. I guess they say...Location is everything.

"best fish and chips ever" per my son. Beer-battered alaskan cod was fresh and delicious. Everyone at our table absolutely cleaned their plates... from the fish tacos, to the crab cakes burger to the fish and chips. Simply a great meal with friendly staff and excellent water views of the salt marsh. Gets a little breezy and cool so bring warm clothing.

Great service and fantastic food. Nice view of the Morro Bay inlet while you enjoy your food.

Wonderful place. Fish and chips are to die for. Chocolate Oblivion is amazing. Good service too. We sat outside watching the pelicans land on the boats moored nearby.

This is one of my favorite dining places in SLO County because of the delicious food, friendly staff and peaceful and beautiful coastal environment.
