Good job guys!
We arrived on a Friday at 2pm we were seated right away. The food was good and fresh.
Fish tacos
Club sandwich
Billy burger
Fish and chips
Clam chowder
All great! Really enjoyed the onion rings, they had a good beer selection to go with.
Our waiter and server were both very nice friendly and accommodating.
I highly recommend checking them out, prices are fair for the area.

Grabbed lunch here with a bunch of my friends which they accommodated to. The staff was very friendly and helpful since a few of us had complicated orders (so sorry to the staff on my behalf). But the food was delicious, cleaned my plate right off. A lot of compliments heard around the table. And the restaurant itself is such a nice spot with really cool decor. Definitely worth a visit.

After sightseeing we had a craving for ice cream. We looked at a few places with no luck. So we decided why not Sea Shanty. To our surprise they had pies and ice cream desserts. Our favorite server Brian waited on us. I had the cow patty sundae. It was a huge serving of vanilla ice cream, warm chocolate cake, sliced bananas, strawberries, hot fudge caramel. The menu said it served six but Brian was so nice to make it a single serve. I will order this again. Hubby had the mudd pie. But he wished he had ordered my dessert instead. It was nice to see Brian again. He remembered us from our last visit several months ago. He made our first visit very pleasant and comfortable.

We returned here because of their great customer service and great selections. We ordered lunch for take out. Wait was under 10 minutes for the meal. The patty melt on rye bread was delicious. The crab salad with avocado, egg, tomatoes snd thousand island dressing was yummy. We’ll return here to try the other dishes.
We dined here for lunch after reading the reviews. Great location across our lodging on Ocean Dr. There is parking on the street and on side street. Interior is very interesting. There are hundreds of hats on the ceiling and top walls. Outside seating is availble. We were seated right away. The atmosphere is cheery and fun. Our server Brian was excellent, extremely friendly, upbeat, and attentive. He stopped by several times to check on us. The clam chowder soup was good but little too peppery, more potatoes than clam. The grilled salmon tacos were very good. Hubby got the ahi tuna sandwich which was recommended by Brian over the crab melt. The thick slice of ahi tuna was seared perfectly with pink in the middle. The portion was so large hubby couldn’t finish it. We asked Brian about their breakfast. He brought us the breakfast menu. We liked the selections so we returned the next morning for breakfast. Our server was very friendly and cheerful. I got the two egg, muffin, friut, potato breakfast. Hubby got the vegetable omelet. The portions were generous.

One of the most popular places in this area, be ready to wait for a table on Friday or Saturday night. Food is good, some positions are better and some are average. Fish tacos and fish&chips were good. Interesting interior with lots of vintage details.

Great food w superb service, lots of help and they all are happy to help you even if they are not your original table server. Enjoyed a great cheese burger the patty was seared crispy charbroiled onion rings and potatoes are good. mmm. We were plenty full yet we decided to take home some pie and cobbler. Stick to the ice cream desserts or other options. I realize fruits need to be in season to get the best result. It wasn’t horrible but not the best pie peaches apricots, especially at $15 a pop. Tgey could tween the recipe by adding more sugar and spices maybe. We will be back for prime rib dinner and some fish and chips.

Went about 5:00 on a Saturday was busy but not over busy. There really is no “host” station so its kind of confusing to get seated. The staff was helpful and prompt but couple of them looked like they didn’t want to be there. Food took 45-50 minutes from the time we ordered which in my opinion is too long. But the food was good. 9/10
The club sandwich, grilled cheese, chili w/ cornbread, the fish and chips & clam chowder were all great. The desserts are big and yummy. Atmosphere is crowded on the weekends and slower during the week. Prices are average

Great food and great service. My wife and I were in Cayucos on a two day trip. We picked up dinner on the first night and loved it so came back the next evening. They remembered us and our order too!

Food was good but the menu wasn’t accurate and they were out of items when trying to order. The entire meal was pricy and don’t think I’ll be going back. The waiter was super nice and personable.

Absolutely delicious and some of the best service I’ve had in a while!
Came for breakfast and ordered scrambled egg whites with spinach and mushrooms. Nothing too special but it was delicious. Our server was very friendly and came to check on us and refill our drinks often.
The dinning area isn’t super huge but there are places to eat outside and lots to look at when it comes to decor. Overall this was a great experience.

Dined here on the recommendation of a friend here in San Diego. The service was lovely. The cafe was cute. But my “Oriental Chicken Salad” of iceberg lettuce topped with warm fajita-style vegetables and chicken bits was not what I expected. I ate it and paid for it, but I would ask a lot of questions before ordering anything besides a burger or fish and chips in the future.
