Cracked Crab
Serving fine food in a casual setting, the Cracked Crab serves local seafood, but can accommodate meat eaters or vegetarians. It uses no trans fats in its meals, and tries to use mainly local ingredients. The menu is updated daily, depending on what ingredients are available and what the chef's choice is. The Cracked Crab opened in 1999 and continues to serve one block away from the San Luis Obispo Bay coastline.

Splash Cafe
The Splash Cafe has been open in Pismo Beach since 1989. Its funky, mural walls and surfing theme make it a great choice after a day on the beach. It serves 15,000 gallons of clam chowder a year, but its menu also includes sandwiches, tacos, salads, burgers and breakfast foods. The Splash Cafe is located a stone's throw from the beach, so get some food to go and eat it while sunbathing.
