Wooly's is a nice restaurant right by the Pismo Pier with a view of the beach. Overall, it is pretty clean and spacious inside. I wish there were some sort of pasta options or a better seafood selection but overall my steamed clams and bowl of clam chowder were pretty solid. I enjoyed the clam chowders and would definitely go back to get just that. The steamed clams were alright but took forever to take out of the shells and were hard to have with the white wine sauce. The staff was outgoing and provided top tier service.

Incredible food and drinks! We had the Baja fish tacos, steamed clams, clam chowder skillet fries, clam chowder, and Bloody Marias. Wanted to cry it was so good. Wanted to drink the clam juice with a straw. And put my face directly into the skillet fries. And what a beautiful view! Also, gentleman working outside on the patio was super kind (didn’t get his name) and deserves praise! What a sweet guy.

Wooly’s was recommended on my way down to Southern Cali and the views did not disappoint. The view from the patio is gorgeous , ocean waves and surfers doing their thing. I even saw some dolphins and whales spouts from my table. I ordered a Paloma with casa amigos tequila and it was strong in a good way :) it don’t need pineapple though, Grapefruit is just fine. The fish tacos were filling, however, coming from a true Mexican the tortillas could have been warmed up a little more so that it wouldn’t be so soft. The description of the tacos is deceiving though because I couldn’t find mango or lemon flavor in there at all. Service was excellent, I was greeted and guided by a polite young lady on what to do when I was ready to order. You order at the counter, self seat, and wait for the buzzer to buzz. I took one star off because they don’t wipe down the tables after a guest is done eating. I was grossed out that there was pieces of somebody else’s food on most tables including the one I decided to sit at. The plates are left on the table until a staff member gets to picking it up, meanwhile numerous pigeons are desperately picking at what they can, their little legs on table and everything. This practice is very unsanitary . I understand birds are everywhere but the tables should be wiped down since pigeons are known for carrying diseases. I don’t enjoy sharing a table with pigeon microbes. Hopefully they start sanitizing their tables after each guest!

Visit to Pismo Beach wanted to grab a bite to eat. Nice atmosphere, outdoor seating, good food and drinks. Would definitely visit again. Upon arrival you order food then grab a seat while you wait for your pager to go off and pick up food from service window. Quick service. Drinks ordered from bar.

Wooly’s is in a great location with the view of the ocean. Food was great and it was dog-friendly. I especially enjoyed the Shrimp and chips. The shrimp were huge and tasted delicious. We will definitely come back!

Came here on a whim, my cousin and her husband were coming down to Pismo to enjoy the nice weekend weather and we all decided to stop by and eat. We found some seats, placed our orders and waited less than 15 mins to get our orders. Everything we order was superb and delicious! I got the Wooly BBQ Burger and it was amazing! A big burger but not intimidating, enough a simple man like me could handle. My cousin got the famous Clam Chowder in bread-bowl and it was very delicious as well, the Garlic on the bread was so tasty! Overall a great experience and enjoyable meal, I HIGHLY recommend giving this establishment a shot!

You'll be able to watch surfers and the waves from this restaurant and bar located right on the wharf overlooking the ocean. They had a variety of beers on tap and really good clam chowder in a bread bowl and your dogs can join you on the deck. I highly recommend trying it out.

I used the reviews to find this place. Visiting the area and wanted to be by the water. This had great food at a reasonable price with views of the water and the best sunset! Try the fish N Chips or fish tacos and have enough left for a drink from the bar for the sunset. Looking forward to coming back.
