Penny's is an excellent place for breakfast in Pismo. When I was a kid we would eat at Brad's a lot but that place has gone way down hill and is way overpriced, pretty much just became one of the tourist traps there over the years. But I digress, if you want good B-fast at decent prices and good service... More

Just the kind of spot we look for in a new place, all the standard breakfast items and some extras too, generous portions and friendly service. The coffee was so-so (diner style) and the OJ was from concentrate, but everything else was top-notch including really good eggs with that brilliant yellow color you don't see in many restaurant eggs. It... More

We stumbled upon Penny's while recently house hunting in the SLO area and had a wonderful lunch. Penny's is a local "hole in the wall" with outdoor seating basically in the parking lot. We each had a salad and sandwich and absolutely loved it. Service is very friendly and I had the feeling that they were happy we stopped in-of... More

I see many reviews that discuss breakfast, but I found their lunches to be just okay, but a bit more expensive than other nearby restaurants that have better food with better portions. I'll try their breakfast and revise this review if warranted, but right now there are much better choices in Pismo.

Nice place to eat breakfast. Pancakes are excellent! Bacon was crisp without being greasy. Their pinto beans were freshly made (not out of a can) spiced perfectly and delicious! We'll come back again

If you're one of those who likes a bold cup of coffee, this isn't for you. But we had several things off the breakfast menu and no one was disappointed in anything. The staff was superior, too. It's earned it's good reviews.

The prices are good. The staff is friendly. The All American has a local feel ya cant beat. Love this place. Alternatives are the expensive hotel linked places or a few of the other dinners in the pismo area, which although ok are not as good as the All American... and how can you not go to and prefer a...

Went to this little restaurant after reading other TripAdvisor reviews and at the recommendation of my cousin -- was not disappointed. We had no problem with parking. The place was busy, so we chose to eat outside even though the patio heaters was not working (our busser tried desperately to turn it on - the tank was empty). But with... More
