We came in for lunch with a party of 9 and were seated without a wait. Our server was friendly and took our drink orders shortly after we were seated. Everyone enjoyed their entrees and sides - sand dabs, shrimp tacos, clam chowder, shrimp salad, salmon salad, sweet potato fries, pineapple slaw were all wonderful! We all appreciated the separate checks and we will be back to try other entrees on the menu!

My wife and I celebrated our 34th wedding anniversary and will definitely be back. The food was excellent, atmosphere was great. They even blessed us with a free slice of cake of our choice. Did I say, slice? It was a BIG slice.

Wipes Flour House out the ballpark. EASILY. Unfortunately they messed up our order which I didn’t mind, but they gave us a pizza and salad on the house and subtracted an item off our check to make up for it. VERY kind. In all my experiences here, all the staff are really friendly and outgoing! Really good food and proportions. If you can’t get a reservation, you can wait to sit at the bar. Great place, great pizza. Must try in SLO fs.
