food is great but be ready to pay so much more than what the board prices claim. I live here and walk over most days , most of the time they’re closed from the hours I go. They’ve never changed the prices on the board. There’s only one item changed in sharpie that’s been changed for as long as I can remember.What’s not fine is being charged $7 for a half cup of ice when the board says $6.50 not only that the picture shows a giant ice not half a cup other wise I would of passed.. if I hadn’t already paid and would of seen how tiny it was I would of said hell no. Every item I ordered was priced differently from the board, I brought it up to the guy, he walks over to the board puts his thumb over the one sharpie marked item that I didn’t even want and says oh well we marked it but someone took it off…. Over sharpie… those boards have NEVER said higher prices as long as I’ve gone. I wish I’d caught this sooner after wasting so much money. It was every item I got, there’s no signs nothing stating higher anything. He said he can come up with some sort of discount I said not to bother. What’s the point of a discount at that point? 2 cents off $30 extra. The food is great but there’s also better elsewhere where the prices aren’t lied about. I asked for a receipt and instead of having it itemized like the screen showed I was only given a receipt of the total. It’s not hard to be honest over price’s especially the times we’re in right now.Parking: 3 parking spot lot

We decided to try something other than our usual and I'm so glad we did! We stopped for dinner and ordered the clam chowder which was way better than splash. We ordered onion rings, fish tacos, chicken strips and fish and chips. It was all very good. The onion rings and fish were crispy like they should be. The fish tacos were fresh and tasty and the chicken was cooked perfectly. We loved everything! The portion size was good the atmosphere was nice and the service was great also.

While I am unable to truly post a review on the “atmosphere” due to it pouring rain and I was the only customer there, the umbrellas (clearly meant to provide shade from the sun) were a welcome cover to the sudden downpour and so was the tri tip sandwich. Delicious! It was a great meal following my amazing experience ATV riding on the Dunes. Combining for a brilliant start to my day. Rain and wind can’t ruin a great thing! Also the owner threw in a complimentary Clam Chowder, probably based on the fact that I supported them on a day when due to the weather, he wouldn’t be very busy. The Chowder was excellent, flavorful and filling! Remember though this spot is outside seating only, so be prepared for rain or shine!

The food was pretty good and the service was friendly. A major complaint I had was the pricing and portion size. I ordered a tri tip sandwich for $17 for a 6-inch subway sandwich, which only had toasted bread and meat, and I also ordered a chocolate shake that came in a 16 Oz cup and cost a whopping $10. The food was good but in comparison to the price it was a letdown. 2/5

Great service and great food. I believe this place was better than Splash Cafe. I don’t want to offend anyone local but I believe this place has better food and better service! I recommend people to try this place once. You can be the judge afterwards. I’ve had Splash Cafe for a long time, but last time I was disappointed and food was not good. So Slappys Chowder House will be my place to go to next time! Support your local business!

Nestled just a stone’s throw from the beach is a quaint little restaurant called “Slappy’s”.Truly One of the central coast’s hidden treasures.I was delighted with the Tri tip sandwich and my better half dabbled with the chicken strips.My sandwich was tender, Flavorful and succulent. A masterpiece for the taste buds. Very large portions and very reasonable prices along with excellent aviance . Be forewarned, prepare to sample the Best Curly fries in the State.Pastor Ron & VeraParking: Hint: There is plenty of free parking a few blocks to the east at the park. An easy and friendly walk.

We are staying at an Airbnb down the street in Oceano and we decided to hit Slappy's for a casual dinner. What a great idea. Unfortunately they were out of Tri-Tip, which is what 4 of us wanted. I guess not 'out' but a 30 minute wait. We didn't have time, so we made other selections on the fly. Half of us got chicken sandwiches, and the others got corn dogs. To quote my son, 'If a Wendy's chicken sandwich is a 5 out of 5 stars, then Slappy's is a 7 out of 5 stars. So good.' And the corn dogs are huge. I got an order of onion rings, and between that side and the corn dog I was stoked, and left feeling full. But not so full that I couldn't add on a soft serve ice cream cone. Love the food, and love the atmosphere of the outdoor dining as the sun was setting over the ocean. I will definitely be coming back to order the tri-tip, even if I have to wait.

We randomly picked this place for lunch after walking on the beach, and were pleasantly surprised.The clam chowder was great, especially in the bread bowl. The fish tacos were good. Burger was a success, and shrimp tacos good.All was fresh and tasty and hit the spot.
