Bayside Cafe Reviews

Would give this a five star but as amazing as I see it to be, I'd love for you to experience BayCaf for yourself and give them that "5" star I so think they deserve! -TheB4G3L

Delicious. The taco bowl was really hefty, super delicious. The location is gorgeous and the staff was really friendly. My waiter was also named Garrett, only with 1 T. Prices weren't too bad, good portions. Recommended!

Always a delightful experience. Food is always delicious and the desserts are so good! Boysenberry Crisp and carrot cake are a must!!!

Nice fresh fish in the fish & chips. Friendly atmosphere and good location with views of the bay

Food is outstanding as well as the service and dog friendly.

Great location by the bay down from the museum. Ok food.

Wonderful setting near an easy trail. Fresh fish and intriguing choices. Friendly service.

Nice hideaway. Good food and the service was great!

Never went there and left disappointed. Every item on the menu that I've ever had is always absolutely fantastic, including their deserts. Don't forget to get desert here. The mud pie is the best in my opinion, but all of them are amazing.

On a scale of 1 to 10, this place is a 12. Great food, great view, great service, what else can one ask for. We'll be back!

Sooooooooooo delicious. Cali Chowda!!!!! A. Mazing!!!!

We ate here very well. My crab burger was really awesome.

Amazing service, kind and pleasing staff. The food is wonderful - big portions enough to make a a wonderful midnight snack. The tri tip sandwich is to die for, must try the trip top fajita tacos ( it's a special..order if they advertise) and the salads and soups are my personal favorite. If you sit inside there is a beautiful view of the bay/Marina. You cannot go wrong to dine here if you visit or live in Morro Bay. The service is beyond words. They always make sure your cup is filled and you have a smile on your face throughout your visit. Don't forget dessert, you won't regret it. The Tres Leche is my personal favorite but can't go wrong w/ a berry crip or cream pies.

AMAZING TOP QUALITY EVERYTIME a little pricey and no bathroom, but the food and service, the area the beauty soooo worth it.

Recommendation from friends turned out to be a blessing.

My wife just loves the fish and chips. The batter is lite and crispy. Best on Morro Bay.

Good place for a good lunch close to it is a boardwalk that you can take a short hike on.

Best place to eat and the view makes it even better!

Great people, great food, great atmosphere. Indoor and outdoor dining. Healthy reasonably priced food. Our Sunday family tradition.

This place was very good and even though it was pretty busy, the wait seemed short. We ate here while camping right across the street.

Always good! Outdoors and take out available only right now. Friendly and prompt service, fresh fish specials and local draft beer and wines. Social distancing required removal of some tables so get there early, at an off time or prepare to wait. Walk up window is open. Enjoyed the atmosphere and sunny weather. Do not be afraid to ask for an umbrella should it get too sunny!

Superb food and service. I had the salmon sandwich on a soft pretzel bun that was phenomenal. The homemade tarter sauce has dill and was so yummy.

On a very busy day downtown Morro Bay our group of eight got to sit quickly and they had a good selection of different food.

Great food and service. Loved the location and ambiance.

Amazing seafood! Their Calamari and Fish and Chips are to die for!!

So good, amazing salads, sandwiches, dinner items. They will cook a steak as perfectly as a piece of fresh Halibut every time. Best mid-priced restaurant in Morro Bay.

We've been on the road 10 days and so far this was the best dinner we had.

Great place to have some seafood with a Mexican fusion touch in many dishes. Very relaxing, casual small restaurant with outdoor and indoor tables. Beautiful view of the bay, very friendly staff.

My hubby and I celebrated my b'day with a shared meal. Steamers Delight entree with 1 salad, 1 bowl of clam chowder, Crab Cake appetizer filled us up, even after an hour of kayaking. Managed to still devour the delicious, humongous serving of Mud Pie.

Don't have any preconceived notions on how the food will be presented and you'll be ok. The lime pie is very good. The service is slow but friendly. There is often a wait to be seated so plan for that and you will have good time.

Bayside Cafe is our favorite place to eat in Morro Bay! Best menu and food!

We split a burger and fish & chips. I pretty much expected to have great fish and chips, and they were, but damn, the burger was one of the better I ve had in a while! The fish batter light.

Quaint with good food. A family favorite for over 30 years.

What a relaxed, friendly place to eat! There are not too many places you can walk into with a potentially grumpy toddler and expect a warm reception. Both the staff and the other diners at the Bayside Cafe were super friendly to our party, and it was enough to turn that kiddo's frown into a smile!

The food was great and quick as well. Would really recommend the California Chowder, the green chili soup lightens and brightens the clam chowder without taking away any of the richness.

This place is amazing. All the staff was extremely friendly and helpful . We had the California clam chowder , a must try, suggested by a regular customer we met outside . Away from downtown in a relaxing comfortable place overlooking out on the bay and a marina. I had no idea it was there but are so glad we found it.

Great food
Great people

The food and wine was great. Always a nice experience.

This delightful female-owned restaurant has fantastic Seafood and a variety of other yummy foods, including desserts. you can't beat The View from the marina and it is located near the Natural History Museum and the state park. Our waitress seemed a little freaked out by the large size of our group but I have not found this to be the common experience here, especially at the time we were there between lunch and dinner the fish and chips are fantastic and there is a Mexican accent to the menu that perfectly suits the area, as are the desserts. It is also great that you have the option of eating indoors in the homey covered patio or outside by the fishing & house boats. pretty much everything on the menu is delicious and the owner, Dawn, is known by name by many of the customers that frequent this lovable Eatery!

Shrimp enchiladas were so yummy but the beans were fabulous!

We have enjoyed the Bayside for many years!! Back to when there was only a walk up window! Always the best food .. lots of choices .. and great service!! Easter dinner take-out was delicious!!

Very fresh ingredients, especially the fish! They feature a different winery every month, so there is always something added to the wine list. Great staff...

Food was delicious and service was very friendly and quick.

Good service , food excellent, beautiful view!!we'll be back

By far our favorite place on the Central Coast. Love the atmosphere, casual and comfortable. Wonderful staff and delicious food. We are part time residents of Morro Bay and this is our "go to" restaurant.

Perfect in everyday. Excellent food, great service, beautiful scenery.

Beautiful place for lunch. Excellent food. Good service. Perfect to eat outside when weather is so nice like today.

Very popular and long wait time. But while you are waiting, you can enjoy a superb view. Once inside, the good food will bring you back.

Was closed when I came through but seems like a nice little Marina Cafe the staff was helpful an apologetic about being closed. Would recommend anyone visiting Morro Bay to stop by the Bayside Cafe and enjoy an afternoon lunch

Fish and chips were awesome and a garden salad and their burgers were good too as well with bacon and avocado will be back keep up the good work

Great food and friendly service. This is our go-to place any time we visit Morro Bay. The outside eating area is spectacular and dog friendly. Nice laid back atmosphere leads to a relaxing experience.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
Great breakfast , nice views.

Outstanding fish and chips; best I've ever had. Friendly wait staff, great atmosphere. Not a "tourist" kind of place. Seemed like most of the patrons were locals or at least regular visitors from out of town. We WILL return. Absolutely!

Excellent outdoor service. Food was great and we felt quite safely separate from other diners. Can't wait to come back and try out more options.

Great food, great attitude! Loved the tostada and wet burrito! Perfect for after kayak meals!
