Great American Fish Company has always been an old favorite of mine. For a while it was starting to feel a little run down, but I’m happy to say they’ve clearly put real effort into upgrades and refurbishments. The new floors and furniture make the whole place feel fresh again without losing the classic Morro Bay vibe.
We had an absolutely wonderful experience, with a perfect view of the sunset. Service was fantastic (thank you, Caleb), and the food was very tasty and priced fairly. This place is officially “back” and I’ll be coming here again.

It’s a very nice seafood restaurant. It wasn’t too busy but a big party just arrived before us thats why our food took longer. Very decent portions , flavorful plates with a very reasonable price.
We ordered oysters, very fresh, clam chowder had their own touch , my kids loved it, fish and chips and king crab Mac and cheese were delicious!!
Give it a try

Service was very nice and food presentation was great but food wasn’t that amazing. Clam strips were more fried dough not a lot of clam and halibut was dry, not flaky. Steam vegetables and sauce for the halibut was great.

We had a great experience at The Great American Fish Company in Morro Bay! Even though it’s known for seafood, we ordered a kid’s cheeseburger with some seriously amazing steak fries and a huge, fresh salad loaded with all the trimmings—definitely big enough to share. The food quality was top-notch, and the service was friendly and prompt. We sat by the window and got to watch otters swimming by, which made the whole meal feel extra special. Afterward, we walked down to the docks to check out the boats. The whole place has a fun, laid-back beach town vibe that really adds to the experience. Highly recommend stopping by!

I have been going to the Great American fish company for over 40 years. It still remains my favorite restaurant for fresh fish. I can still remember when I was a child and special guest came in from out of town My parents would take us all to the Great American Fish Company as a special treat. My wife and I recently celebrated Valentine’s Day there and had a wonderful meal in a very warm atmosphere with pleasant hosts who were eager to serve. We highly recommend it.

Always a pleasure and delicious meal at Great American Fish Company! Besides the great service you will receive. This time it was Cassandra who was welcoming, smiling and really kind, even though they were slammed busy. Then I had Ms. Ashley who was my server and besides being right on point with her helping with decisions, she was just a delight! Both of them, Cassandra and Ashley are exact reasons I will be returning and continue to spend my money for excellent customer service and a meal!
Now, the meal…..ohhh my! Every time I come, I get the calamari steak and a side of fried prawns, of course the cup of clam chowder and it is always too much but worth every bite and bit of uncomfortable fullness! Lolllll
The calamari steak is giant and cooked in a light panko crumb….I’m drooling again right now!
The views are phenomenal and you can also watch the chefs prepare your food through the windows. It’s a great restaurant with amazing decor, staff and food! Thank you Cassandra and Ashley and the chefs behind the scenes!
Mr. Vido and I will be back.

Ocean side dining with a view of morro rock. Lunch prices are about ($25) for an entree. Salmon is not dry and overcooked. Rice pilaf pretty decent. Seafood quality isn’t anything super amazing, just decent. The best is the view. Calamari is mediocre. But overall, the setting and atmosphere of the restaurant makes it worth it. Definitely the mussels are more worth it than the steamer clams.
