This restaurant is just down the block from the Hampton Inn in Arroyo Grande we were staying in, so it was worth the walk. It’s a darling restaurant with a lovely interior, and the food was delicious. We had the seafood sampler platter and it did not disappoint. It’s definitely worth your time !

Great service great quality food, awesome atmosphere to be. Clam chowder is on point here very satisfying and delicious. Onion rings cooked perfectly the wings could use a little more heat.

The staff are very nice and accomodating. Good seafood and large fries. No waiting. The calamari appetizer is a must!

Food: the food is very good. The seared ahi sandwich had a great balance of flavours and the bread was crispy, though a bit on the tough side. The coleslaw has a nice wasabi-like kick to it. Service: they got my order wrong but they were very friendly.

The food wasn't all that great, and even the best-sellers like the seafood pasta were lacking. The service was good, but with the actual cost of the meal and overall eating experience I couldn't gi…

I used to love coming here for fish and chips every once in awhile. Now the prices have really gone up and the portions are very tiny.\n Super disappointing.

Server and food good. Very disappointed that we had a gift card to pay and was told that card wasn't going through. Basically the 2-3 people that was processing didn't know how to run the card thro…

Haven't been there in awhile but they have had great food and drinks, an awesome happy hour and lovely staff! The decor is dated but it fits the vibe. I try to stop in any time I visit the area

If your wanting healthy- NOT a good choice! Seems most everything is fried seafood! Some recommend the salad w beef- beef was surprisingly very good!

We had takeout and weren’t thrilled. My wife had fish, which was good, and clam chowder which was mediocre. I ordered clams and chips based on seeing steamed clams on the menu. They were clam strips, however, which the menu should clarify. Overall it was OK but we prefer other seafood restaurants nearby.

We decided to try The Quarterdeck Seafood Bar & Grill in Arroyo Grande during our recent Pismo trip. Our decision was based off of the good reviews. Unfortunately, we were a bit disappointed with the food. The service was fine, but the food was mediocre. We started off with an order of "Sweet & Spicy Calamari". The dish was prepared with crispy tubes and tentacles with a sweet-spicy glaze. The menu states that the calamari is "tossed" in the sweet-spicy sauce, but our experience was that while the top layer of the dish was tossed in the glaze, the bottom layer was drenched in the glaze. We couldn't finish the dish due to the heaviness of the sauce which made the rest of the calamari soggy and unappetizing. As we weren't looking for a big meal, my wife ordered a simple salad and I ordered a cup of clam chowder. The chowder was good, but a bit thick and on the chunky side. It may be that our experience was not indicative of the quality of food at The Quarterdeck, I'm just not sure.

6/30/22 Fried Chicken was good, lumpy mashed potatoes were great!  Biscuit hard as a rock. Mac cheese and baked potato was good, portions were small.  Fish and Chicken tenders were good.  Everything was overcooked, and they failed to include tartar and bbq sauce in order. 3 years ago, Thursday take out late lunch $42, ordered 5 piece fish and chips but only got 3 pieces of fish 🤨, tasted good though. Cup of clam chowder was very good, was told made in house. Hubby's cheeseburger was fine, his side of mac and cheese tasted good but expensive for what you got. Employees were polite and helpful. Rate 3 stars for being shorted on fish. If I go to a fast food, I know to check the item count in the bag....but I shouldn't have to do this for a restaurant.

Was just average. The fish and chips were ok. Price was reasonable and service was good. Booths were not very clean. Was a good place but wouldn't recommend for a nice dinner date. Clam chowder was the best thing about the whole meal.

Let me first say, our 1st server was great.\nHowever, the server that covered for her while she was on break, was chaotic, I got the feeling that being a server was not something he normally do…

Place hasn't been renovated since 1986. Restaurant smelled like a restroom as you walk through the door. Clams in the clam chowder weren't rinsed properly and chowder had a strange aftertaste. Fish and chips decent but unimpressive. Staff was definitely not happy to be there. Better food options available around the corner. This place is best avoided

Tried out the quarter deck today. I looked at the reviews. Good reviews. Had to try. The fish and chips were bad. I opted out of chips and got clam chowder. Clam chowder not good. I want fresh fish if I go to a fish house. Most of it was fried from frozen. My wife asked for pepper jack cheese on her veggie burger and they gave her Kraft cheddar cheese. Ranch dressing tasted like mayonnaise. Veggie burger was slimmy and no taste. I have more to say but I cant complain anymore. I want this place to do good. Please step it up.

Food tastes cheap and frozen. Worst fish and chips we've ever had and very overpriced for the quality. The restaurant was nearly completely empty... I guess that should've been our sign.

This was my first and last visit. I was disappointed, especially given the cost, to be served old, cold coleslaw. The fish and chips were also underwhelming—the fish portions looked more like fish stick size than a proper entrée. Overall, the experience did not meet expectations for the price.

What happened to The Quarterdeck? The food is not the same at all! We ordered take out for a birthday celebration for my elderly Mom and we all ordered our favorite dish that we used to get from them and were shocked when we opened our food containers to see what was inside. Both my husband and my brother ordered the Fish Tacos which say they come with rice and beans then to be disappointed that half your meal is missing is completely frustrating. I ordered the grilled salmon dinner on the Lite menu and thankfully I read the description that said it didn't come with a potato but in the picture it shows a potato. The salmon was the worst I have ever had, cold and dry probably because it was frozen and they overcooked it. Thankfully it came with clam chowder so I could choke down my salmon. My Mom got fish and chips and that was dry as well, the breading was different than what was on the fish in the fish tacos. It was hard for her to eat and made for a disappointing birthday dinner. We will never be back.
