After taking a look at a few of the local restaurants when we got to Pismo Beach, we decided to eat lunch here. Although they have a fairly large menu, including non-seafood items, they seem to specialize in seafood with chips (i.e. fish, shrimp, scallops, clams, etc.) In fact, they had more types of seafood with chips than I think... more

The tri tip sandwich at this place is out of this world. Don't forget to get a cup of their fantastic bbq sauce. Get one to go and walk down the pier. It's one of the best parts about pismo beach. more

My wife and I both love this place to eat when we're in Pismo Beach. The BBQ tri tip sandwich is thick and lean and very tasty. We always eat ouside as we always go during the summer months. Also the clam chowder is excellent! more

I've had clam chowder everywhere along the east coast....Boston, Providence, Main...etc...and BRAD'S consistently had the BEST clam chowder I have had...anywhere. period. NOT too thick, NOT overloaded with potatoes, LOTS of clams, not too salty....Perect. We go up to Paso 6 or so times a year..and ALWAYS stop at Brad's for my chowder fix. Decent service, good value, great atmosphere... more

I ordered their $7.60 Tri-Tip sandwich to-go last weekend. They make it right in front of you in the traditional barbecue pit. It consists of only the bun and a mound of meat. They give you the sauce on the side, which is not really needed because the pit smokes the meat to perfection! more

My friend loves clam chowder (I don't eat it). We went on an informal search for the best in the area, based on recommendations from friends. The chowder style in this area seems to be exclusively New England Style (cream based). Brad's was the best. The clams were tender, the spices commingled well, it was piping hot, and all the... more
