Great Chowder

Went to this restaurant with the family on vacation. The clam chowder was excellent, the other food was so so. In addition to the clam chowder our party had shrimp tacos, burgers, and chicken fingers with fries. We would go back, but just get the...More

Lunch visit

We visited for lunch following Rick Steins recommendation on a Uk television programme. Don’t be put off by the dated decor, the clam chowder which was amazing! It was a little grubby in the seating areas which was a shame however the food was faultless.

Bring patience for beachside casualness

We have been stopping at the Splash on our way through Pismo for over 20 years and we have the system down. One person is dropped off to wait in the long which can be very long while the other finds a parking place. You...More

I Only Know What I Know

A friend told us to go to Splash for the clam chowder, and that's exactly what I did. The first try, the line was around the block, but the next morning was just a short wait. First, the order taker was bright and friendly, and...More

Simply the best

This little hole in the wall cafe is probably the most popular restaurant in town. Excellent seafood and delicious chowder. I recommend topping it off with fresh seafood.

Fast, Informal with good Chowder.

The chowder was recommended by another merchant as the best in town. Could be. It was good and in the top half of a lifetime of enjoying New England clam chowder. A simple recipe lacking some of the spices and color the best but it...More

Awesome clam chowder

Best clam chowder we had during our California 3 weeks trip. Very busy place, but worth of waiting. We also tried some sea food but that was just ok, nothing special.

Great food, but very busy place

We really enjoyed our lunch here, but even off-season it took a while to be served. It might be even slower during peak season.

Ok, not worth the hype.

Workers were pleasant, place was small. Ordered the clam chowder in the bread bowl and the fish and chips for the two of us. Chowder was good ( but not worth waiting in a long line for). Fish was a cornmeal crusted and fried. Fish...More
