This place gets a lot of business because it's popular. But no one knows why, its just the place to go. The chowder is very creamy and not a lot of ingredients, mostly cream and potatoes.

Arriving late our first night in Pismo, we headed for Splash Cafe and that wonderful clam Chowder. It's true, the Clam Chowder is good. We took it back to our room and enjoyed Chowder with an ocean view. More

Good enough clam chowder, fried shrimp, seafood sandwiches--you name it. Get in line to order and then friendly waiters will bring your food to your table. Entirely casual, the food tasted great, if not fancy, for beachside seafood. More
