Splash Café Pismo Beach

Came here for the Chilli Bread Bowl, as outstanding as I remember it back in 2000. Cafe is super busy, very small dining area. Can always order to go and sit on the beach.

The BEST clam chowder I've ever had. I grew up going here on trips to Pismo beach, but moved cross country. Was in town with my family and got to take them to try the goodness that is Splash cafe. Getting there was insane due to the car show, and the wait was long, but it was worth it all for clam chowder in a bread bowl. (My photo doesn't do it justice because I had to get it to go and it was a hike back to where we were staying. The chowder is creamy, full of potatoes and clams, and flavorful. The bread bowl is delicious and they give your the scooped out bread too BONUS! Toasted and with butter, dipped in the clam chowder perfection. We also had fried shrimp and chips and a chicken sandwich (picky kids , and they were also tasty and good value for money. Definitely returning anytime I am in town, and brought a Splash cafe mug back cross country for the memories.

We ordered lobster roll, killer cod wrap, clam chowder and fries. We were more than full and satisfied. The lobster roll is super delicious with unbelievable price especially for people from Bay area where any seafood dishes start around $25. BTW the fries are great. Clam chowder is superb. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the crowd too.

Absolutely the world’s best clam chowder to me!! Especially with the crab meat and golden-brown-toasted bread, very soft inside. The onion rings are huge and tasty, too.

Loved our first experience here at SPLASH. Friendly staff, fast service and DELICIOUS FOOD! Clam chowder was best in town! Incredible! The calamari, friend shrimp, fish chips and burger was also Incredible. Also, loved the gender neutral bathrooms (x2) and the clean baby changing stations in both! Will definitely return to try more stuff on the menu!
