It was an amzing restaurant, it id highly recommended for seafood if you are in the Pismo Beach area. I'll give them restaurant and the stuff ten out of ten. We walked in to the restaurant without knowing that réservations were required and that they were really booked for the night but they managed to get us a table and Service was outstanding 👌 😀 👏.

Stopped by for quick lunch on return trip home. Had lots of good reviews and plates looked delicious. Absolutely fantastic in all areas! The girl who greeted us when we walked in and seated us was very friendly and had one the biggest smiles making us feel welcome. There were plenty of tables which started filling up shortly after we got there. The ambience is great with a good view wherever you sit. The restrooms look brand new or newly remodeled and were super clean as was raw entire restaurant for that matter. All staff worked well together and provided great servi ce. Now onto the food. Absolutely delicious and freshly prepared. We ordered the fresh fish as well as the fish and chips. Had sweet potato fries, squash, and green beans for the sides. We also went thru 2 baskets of their sourdough bread. The flavor of everything was fantastic. This will be one of our must visits whenever we are in the area again.

Started with the greeting and got seated right away and that’s because we showed up before the busy rush then after sitting we were introduced by the waitress Alexis, was very sweet along with the bus boy , my hat goes off to the chef and owner of this restaurant our food, oh man oh man is how I can best describe my dish,” sea food pasta “from start to finish was so delicious and that was my first time ever and it’s going to be my fave and I will definitely recommend to my family & friends I also tried a bite of the lobster Mac , that was amazing so cheesy and creamy and the lobster so so good, then tried some clam chowder another one on my list,I enjoyed the atmosphere and especially the music it all went great together so yes it’s worth every penny.

While visiting Pismo Beach, I was told by a local that the clam chowder was award-winning. It was definitely one of the best I’ve ever had! I paired the soup with the “side salad” and added chicken. I was again impressed by how their simple salad was above and beyond other restaurants “side salad“. On top of all this, the service was amazing and I had two people making sure I was well taken care of. This restaurant is not near the beach. No ocean view. But it is well worth the five minute walk from the beach. I will for sure be returning to this restaurant next time I visit.

Took a road trip. 1st stop at Pismo Beach. Came across this restaurant, turned out the food was so good especially the fried snapper. It was so tasty. Liz our waitress very nice and friendly as well as the busboy. We had the patio area since it was a dogs friendly restaurant. We walked to the restaurant cuz it wasn’t too far from our resort. But I can see there’s parking lot and it’s free. Also can park a long the curves.

We were here in Saturday at 6 p.m. No waiting time, surprisingly. The staff was friendly and attentive. The waiting time of order the dishes and get it is 20 minutes 👌 Ours order : 1. 🍹Banana Mai Tai $15 - it served in a cool pineapple glass, it's pleasant notes of sweetness of banana and didn't fell an alcohol. The cocktail is truly exceptional and I recommend trying it. The bartender really came up with a good combination of all the ingredients. 2. 🐟Fish and Chips $20 - battered cod is soft and yammy, the sause has delicious aroma of sesame (dill or something similar), sour cream based)). Fries cooked well. 3. 🐠Fish Tacos $20 - enough sause in it, delightful fish. 4. 🦪6 Oysters on a half $18 - dense and goes well with the sauce. My rate is 6 from 5. Definitely recommend to visit. Thank you for your great job! 🌺 ChatGPT said: Thanks for sharing your review! Here's a polished and engaging rewrite that keeps your original impressions but elevates the tone and flow, while still sounding natural and personal: We visited on a Saturday at 6 p.m., and to our surprise — no wait time at all! The staff were friendly, attentive, and really made us feel welcome. Our food arrived in about 20 minutes, which was impressive. 👌 Here’s what we ordered: 🍹Banana Mai Tai – $15 Served in a fun pineapple-shaped glass, this cocktail was a highlight! It had a pleasant banana sweetness without a strong alcohol taste — smooth, balanced, and super refreshing. You can tell the bartender put thought into the flavor combo. Highly recommend giving this one a try! 🐟 Fish & Chips – $20 The battered cod was tender and delicious, with a light, crispy coating. The accompanying sauce had a creamy sour cream base with notes of sesame or dill — really flavorful. Fries were nicely cooked, too. A solid choice. 🐠 Fish Tacos – $20 These were great — generous on the sauce, and the fish was flavorful and cooked just right. Simple, but satisfying. 🦪 6 Oysters on the Half Shell – $18 Fresh, dense texture, and paired well with the accompanying sauce. If you're into oysters, these won’t disappoint. Overall Rating: 6 out of 5 ⭐️ Yes, six! We absolutely recommend checking this place out. Great service, quick turnaround, and delicious food & drinks. Thanks to the team for a wonderful experience! 🌺

For me, this an absolute must visit when in Pismo Beach. The oysters were god-tier, dont think I have had such fresh and delicious oysters before. And with a dash of the chimmichurri sauce, wow, we were blown away. My wife then had the lobster roll while I had the seafood pasta and both were amazing. Much thanks to Joe, our waiter, for suggesting the seafood pasta. Overall, a very enjoyable visit and I ll def be coming back if I am back in Pismo Beach in the future.

Best clam chowder I've ever tasted! I ordered the fish and chips. Crispy bursting with flavor fish that came with tangy cocktail sauce and homemade starter sauce yum! We were given bread with butter and when you dip it into the creamy clam chowder...chefs kiss! My only gripe us they don't sell iced coffee which I love.

Jaclyn S

Best Clam Chowder hands down, I never liked clam chowder but thought I would try it and it did not disappoint! I also had the fish tacos, very good. All servers were so friendly and nice! I’ll be back soon!

Great outdoor patio with VERY good food. While making a reservation, the hostess got a little snooty over the phone, but our server and wait staff made up for it throughput our dinner. My wife loved the fish tacos and my seafood pasta is in the top 3 best I've ever had (I want to steal their recipe). There were at least 5 different seafood types in this pasta. Definitely try and make reservations for this place because we ate there on a Thursday night and it was starting to fill up after 5:30

Fantastic restaurant! My partner and I were visiting the area and upon looking at other reviews, the photos made it look so delicious! Ada’s Fish House did not disappoint. We had gotten their halibut and rock cod catch of the day special, as well as their alcoholic drinks the banana Mai tai and key lime pie. For dessert we got their apple bread pudding and key lime pie. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious! This place is definitely a must try and we will absolutely be eating here again the next time we visit!

There are a lot of eateries serving fish and chips, clam chowder, and all other assortments of seafood that most tourists and visitors would want to try, but this spot is definitely a must try. We ordered their clam chowder, steamed clams, seafood pasta, and the halibut (special menu). The clam chowder was rich in flavor and full of clams, and goes well with the free mini sourdough breads they serve, freshly baked and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. I would give the chowder an 8/10. The steamed clams however was amazing. You can tell they generously cooked them with white wine as every bite and all the juices were so delicious and full of the wine aroma and flavor. The halibut was good and tasty too but I would have liked it to be a little less well done. The most amazing was the seafood pasta. The tangy and creamy flavor from the tomato base sauce mixed with generous portions of seafood (scallops, clams, mussels, cod, salmon) that were not overcooked made it a dish I would definitely come back and re order over and over again! Because we had such a great experience we came back again the next day for lunch, this time getting their famous fish and chips and also the lobster roll. The chips were good but not wow. However, the fried fish were cooked to perfection. The batter was so thin with a soft crunchy texture that I had to cut it carefully so that it doesn't fall apart from the flaky cod inside the batter. However because it's so thin you don't feel too heavy from greasy thick batter that is often found in other fish and chips restaurants. I would say this is one of the best fried cod fish I've had in California. The best ones I've had were in London UK but this one comes pretty close, so I highly recommend it!

This is a really nice spot for a meal. I had the fish & chips and my husband had the shrimp. The fish & chips were not that good because the breading on the fish was soggy and greasy. The shrimp entrée was delicious and cooked perfectly. The shrimp were large and plated quite nicely. We shared fried calamari, which was very good. Service was very good. The waitress was friendly and informative. She checked on us without being intrusive. There is a parking lot and we arrived early enough to get street parking in front of the restaurant.

The clam chowder is 5 stars, hands down (could possibly be the best I’ve ever had), but I can’t recommend the fish tacos because it lacked flavor. The service was great and fresh rolls were awesome too. This place is a must try for the clam chowder alone.
