My family and i all loved the fish and chips but the service was very slow and the prices are kind of high. The clam chowder was just ok. We must have been there on there bad day which was a Monday. We sat inside and there was only 3 other tables occupied. The restaurant across the street had a... More

My family and I went to eat here on a Friday afternoon. We sat on the patio and even though there were heaters it was still cold with the wind blowing. The service was very slow and the food overpriced for what you got. We ordered 2 appetizers, Fried Zucchini and a Shrimp Cocktail. Both were just ok, I would... More

We went to Brad's last night and I order the New York Steak and I have to say it was one of the best steaks I have ever had! The chef cooked it to perfection! The lady who served us was amazing too, sorry forgot her name but she had blonde hair and her son wants to go to London.... More

food is OK. Not anything to write home about.... there is a wait to get in which would lead one to think this must be great but we found it was just OK. I was a tad disappointed in my halibut & chips. Hubby thought his tri-tip & shrimp skewer good but could have been better. We were entertained with... More

We actually ate at Brads last night. I had the fried shrimp for an appetizer which was delicious. I had the clam chowder bowl for my main entree and was really disappointed. Maybe Im just use to Splash Cafe and their bread bowl because this one was kinda gross. The service wasnt all that great either.

They get a 4 star based on the food. The service from the start was slow and it did take a long time for us to get our food. This time I tried the clam chowder which was excellent. Don't know if it was better than Splash, but it was just as good. We brought our friends here who had... More

Poor service. The waiters paid a lot of attention to eachother (joking, placing bets, etc) but were very slow in taking our orders, bringing the check, fixing mistakes, etc. The baby back ribs were really fatty. The tri tip kabob wasn't bad though.

It appeared that a lot of the locals go there which was a tip that it would be a good place to eat. They had a nice variety on the menu and the prices were reasonable. Service was friendly and quick. A two block walk up the street from the Pismo Beach pier.
