Pier Street Deli Oceano Reviews
Pier St Deli has the best sandwiches on the Central Coast hands down. The location is perfect for Tourists visiting the Oceano Dunes and locals that want to grab some food to enjoy while at the Beach
Very good food. Nice employees. I've seen this place so many times, but the odd hours never worked for us before, but happy we were able to eat there this time.
Perfect food, surf and turf burrito is perfect and a must for people around to try
Pismo pastrami was delicious. Big, filling sandwich with a great mix if tangy and meaty flavours. I'll be trying their other sandwiches soon.
Excellent choice right at beach entrance!
The sandwiches were fantastic and the owner came out to assure our experience was great! Highly recommend this place to anyone looking to grab some good food!
The food was so good! The food came fast. The bathroom was clean. The staff there was so nice. If I lived nearby, I would come here a lot!
Highly recommend the Pismo pastrami. It's huge, the slices of meat are thick and totally worth the money. The owner is great and attentive.
Great food at an affordable price. I LOVED the Pismo Pastrami great sandwich. Can’t wait to try the made from SCRATCH clam chowder I hear its amazing.
Gotta try the Pismo Pastrami! I had the shrimp tacos! Awesome food, great prices, friendly service and all within a walk to Oceano Beach!💯
If I could give them more than 5 stars I would! The food is so good and the staff is so friendly! Definitely my new favorite place!
Great food and very big portions. The staff is very welcoming, and they have a sweet view of the dunes/ocean.
Best breakfast burritos on the central coast! We get the American breakfast burritos and love them! Great service, LOVE this place!
We got the pismo pastrami with onion rings and the western burger.. 😋 Definitely returning! Thank you to Reina and Chef Erica!!!
Amazing food and the owners are amazing! We went two days in a row, and will probably go back for a 3rd time tomorrow.
Tried this place completely on accident while waiting to ride on the ATVs. This place was so good. I highly recommend the turkey chipotle especially if you like a little bit of your sandwiches.
Best breakfast burrito of my life! Great spot to grab a bite and check out the entrance to the dunes.
I had the very delicious Turkey Chipotle Sandwich. It was wonderful (lightly toasted, loaded with enhancing goodies) and perfectly messy! The genuine atmosphere of its original neighborhood building brought back nostalgic childhood memories. My family often tent camped at a tiny campground that was just a short walk down Pier Avenue. Yes, Pier Deli was a delight in many ways. We WILL be back!
Best pastrami sandwich I’ve had in a long time!! Will definitely be coming back!!!
Awesome find during a Cali road trip. Helpful and friendly service. Torta was fantastic, sandwich was great and American burrito was amazing. The whole family was pleased and if we’re ever in the Pismo beach area again this spot is top of the list.
We took a girls trip to Pismo for a couple days for my daughter’s birthday. We stood right across from the Pier St Deli right near the beach. It was closed on Monday and Tuesday but fortunately it was open on Wednesday and we ate there before we left for home. I had the shrimp tacos with mango salsa , they were delicious. In fact everything we ordered was great, breakfast burritos, shrimp tacos and a torta. Everything on the menu sounds great. We will definitely go back whenever we’re in the area to try everything else on the menu. Also the guy that took our order was very nice. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a great meal at a good price.
Wow! I recently received a BOGO offer from Pier Street Deli, and my wife and I decided to try it out. It was awesome! Food is terrific, portions are huge, and value for your $ is great! Highly recommend Pier Street Deli. Probably going back tomorrow for a Breakfast Burrito! 👍🏻
The food at Pier St. Deli is cooked to order, fresh, and absolutely amazing!! The service was also great. I highly recommend this place. A great place to go to, especially after a couple hours riding an ATV around the dunes.
First off, before we even start. Generous portion sizes. They give you your money's worth over there. My first thought upon entering was, "This is a tourist town restaurant. It's going to be like every other restaurant in Pismo Beach." I was totally wrong. Great food, relaxed atmosphere, big portions, and exemplary customer service. Would highly recommended to anyone visiting or interested in a relaxed dining experience.
Shrimp tacos are the best anywhere around here! 'And' the least expensive!😍
Great sandwich, burger, burrito, and taco place. Large portions, quality ingredients. Great location if you're already visiting Oceano Beach! ⛱️ Super friendly and helpful
This place was very good. I expected either the burgers to be small or expensive but burger and fries was about 15 and burger was good size. After I finished the patty and all that was left was the bun and everything else I still wanted to finish it. ABC burger very solid. I also only waited maybe 5 minutes for it.
We ordered the Chipotle turkey sandwich, it was delicious. It was so big and stuffed with veggies that the hubby and I split it. The service was also very friendly and nice. We will definitely be back for more sandwiches and their old west cinnamon rolls.
What can I say, can't beat a good meal at a smallish diner, then walk about a hundred yards to the beach afterwards. The curly fry asada burrito was excellent! I'll return for that! My friend enjoyed her salad enough to take home what she couldn't finish. They offer a variety of choices...from hamburgers, sandwiches, to burritos and menudo. I'll be back.
This is my new go to lunch spot. I live down the street and just had one of the best Carne Asada burritos I’ve had in this town. Full of meat and super flavorful. Loved it. Thank you!
We stayed next door and ate there on Fri night. My husband got the baconator burger and I got the pesto chicken sandwich. He was drooling over the burger. It was all so good and huge portions. Highly recommend
Massive portions and well made food with quality ingredients. I don't think I've seen a nicer pastrami before. Service was great and the place was very clean. Would not hesitate to recommend.
Breakfast Burritos were HUGE and really really good! The rest of the menu looked very appealing! We will be back!
Tasty food and kind people. Chef deserves a raise
The portions were huge and they took the time to ask me how I liked my meat. So they cooked my burger my way. Their fries were excellent. This place is expensive but well worth the splurge.
Ate here while on vacation. I am still thinking about the sandwich I had! Such a kind woman that waited on us. Pleasant conversation. Just wish we lived closer so I could visit again sooner. Loved this little gem. One of the highlights of my trip.
I had a great bacon cheeseburger here, and my wife had an excellent Turkey Chipotle avocado sandwich. Friendly staff who went out of their way to make sure our dog had water in their dog friendly seating area! We wanted a quick bite after spending the morning on the dunes, highly recommend this place to anyone considering the same.
I got the Pismo Pastrami. The pastrami is grilled. Sourdough bread with cheese, avocado and even cream cheese. The onion rings were really good too. They just need to fix the carbonation valve on their fountain machine. I won’t knock a star, cause stuff like that breaks everywhere. But if I make the drive back anytime in the future, I’ll drop my rating. But hands down best pastrami sandwich I have ever eaten. My arteries can attest to that.
Amazing food best breakfast burrito I’ve ever had. You can tell they cooked their food with.
Owner is super friendly and welcoming, and honestly the food is just the best. Got the Hot Turkey Chipotle with fries, and that was probably the best deli food I've had in a minute. I ended up tipping 40% just because of how nice the Owner was. It's her mainly working everything, with her husband helping her out. Would 100% come back, and with the spot being right next to the Dunes, it's a perfect place. 10/10!
Great little spot just a stone's throw away from the beach. Food was delicious and they are not stingy with the quantity. I did hear people complaining they were waiting for quite a long time for their food but mine came out in a decent amount of time. Worth a stop but parking can be a challenge
One of the best western burgers I've ever had! Fries were hot and crispy! Owner was enthusiastic and super friendly! This place is a 2 minute walk from the beach! Will definitely return! Highly recommend!
Stopped here on the way back from the beach and didn’t expect the best but I immediately realized that this wasn’t just a small walk in restaurant but an amazing local deli. I got a pastrami sandwich which was probably the best one I’ve ever tried. They also have delicious tacos. Definitely coming back and suggest this place for anyone who’s grabbing a quick bite😁
I went here for the first time based on a recommendation by a local. It did not disappoint. We had their hot sandwiches and they were the best I've ever had. I'm still craving it to this day. It's a must have when in Pismo. And service was excellent. Family owned and very cozy.
Great location, quick walk from Pismo Beach off Pier avenue. Rodeo burger was amazing, good seat on the patty and the fries were hot and crispy. Will definitely come back.
I love the Chicken Ceasar Wrap... Amazing!!!! Great staff and food. Always kind and goes above and beyond.
This place served the most authentic and fresh food we had in our trip down the coast from Portland to LA. We are from Canada, and we wanted to have the best tacos we could find. We loved it. Also, the owners are such delightful people. A beautiful family.
Great food and service kind and accommodating. Location close to beach. Will dine again!
great food and customer service and love the vibe in the place and music playing the atmosphere was just amazing
Best sandwiches and fries we have ever had in 50 years of beach trips to the cental Cali coast, and the prices are very low. Sandwiches come w potato chips but it's only $2 to upgrade from chips to french fries. French fries were delicious. Portions are VERY large. The sandwiches are loaded with fresh toppings, no chintzing on toppings like tomatoes, avacado, pickles, lettuce, etc and the turkey on our sandwiches was excellent! Food is fresh and delicious. Only ten min or less wait time and the service is friendly. Can't say enough good things about this deli! We have gone back twice. 10 out of 10 stars for quality of food, for service, portion size and for affordability. Ty Peir Street Deli!
Fabi is awesome! Some of the best things here are breakfast burritos, curly fries burrito and turkey sandwich and the best part is that she will help you out on making you something special if needed! Go help support her
I love little food places like this. really good and yummy food. Service is usually really good because the owners are there making their food. This place was clean , home like comfortable and convenient. They offer other food. We only got bagels for the moment. Next to the beach . I think we will come back for other food.
I went into this little shop in hopes of getting some fried flour tortilla chips, although they had never heard if this Ms.Fabi, was very open to my request. She made a large batch to perfection, I also purchased pico and salsa, which was great! I had leftovers for breakfast the next day. Thank you again Fabi. The hospitality and food are a must have, y'all go try her shop out, you will be glad you did!!
Love this place!! Pastrami was brisket style and the closest to my pastrami that has the little bit if juicy fat in it. Bread and toppings were delish!! Got Hawaiian chips with it. We sat outside w the dog so it was nice. Nearby I got a smoothie w the freshest juice. So many great places to shop at nearby.
Our first time eating here. This place has changed ownerships so many times over my time living here, we wanted to try this new one! Got the BOGO coupon from FB, ordered the Pismo Pastrami hot sando, the surf & turf burrito, and the chicken strips meal for the kiddo. Overall delicious food! Sandwich and burrito are big, could potentially split with someone if you’re a light eater. We will definitely be back :)
Not fake reviews. This place is amazing. We had the cheesesteak sandwich and the american burrito and loved both!
I've lived on the central coast for ten years now and these are the best tacos I've had. We got the chicken, asada, and pastor tacos. They came with a spicy tomatillo salsa and were all absolutely delicious. We also tried the quesa birria, which is only available on the weekends- incredible. They also have house-made horchata and jamaica. I'm going to be dreaming about this meal for a long time.
After enjoying a day at the beach, we decided on a Turkey Club sandwich. Service was fast, atmosphere was great with a lot of tourists like myself. It was a quick bite before we moved on.
Killer pastrami burger! This thing is stacked: juicy grilled patty, generous slices of pastrami, melty cheese, crispy bacon, fresh lettuce/tomato/onion, all on a soft bun. The pastrami adds that smoky, tender kick that takes it from good burger to great. Fries were hot and crispy too. Super fresh, big portions, and right by the beach—perfect spot for a quick, satisfying lunch. Staff was friendly, place is clean and chill. Highly recommend if you're in Oceano/Pismo—worth the stop! 🍔🔥
Went with a friend for lunch. She had just taken an order which gave us time to look over the extensive items on the menu. We both ordered the Surf and Turf Burritto. Fabulous taste. We parked in the back (no problem) and took a walk on the beach afterwards. Wonderful location, we ate outside with a view of the waves. Will go back to try other items on the menu. Great place! Went back and had the Burrito with Curly Fries and Nacho sauce. Incredible. My friend had the ABC burger, juicy and tasty.
Cute little deli right near the rec area of Oceano. The Pismo Pastrami hot sandwich is off the chart best pastrami ever! Bacon, cream cheese, avocado, pepperoncini, tons of meat and gooey cheese! Delicious!
I visited this deli for the first time on 11/12/2025. I ordered the Italian Sub Sandwich and it was the BEST Italian Sub I have ever tasted! Not to mention the price was excellent. I was able to make two meals out of one price. The meat was excellent as well as the tasty cheese. The service I received was warm and friendly and the atmosphere was inviting. The next morning I went for a walk and stopped in to say hello and to rave about how good the sandwich was and I couldn’t help but order a breakfast bagel with all the ingredients. Now, I’m a bread woman so I know good breads when I taste them and if I may say, the bagel was toasted, yet still soft and tasty to the pallet. I can’t wait to see what other delicious meals I will have the pleasure of ordering in the near future. With much gratitude and love, Cynthia.
The food was so good that we came back the next day for more. Service is excellent, the workers were super kind and attentive with everything we asked for. Interior is very clean, open seating, convenient bathroom access, soda refills. We got the surf and turf burrito and surf and turf burrito. The shrimp is HUGE and they give you a ton of it. We also got an order of fries for our boys to split and that was more than enough to share. Our family will definitely be visiting this spot every time we're in Oceano.
Where do I start? It's December and the negative low tides are the best times to harvest Pismo Clams. After harvesting our limit, it's late afternoon and I am Huuuuuungry! I needed something only protein could full fill. I came upon this place and saw the 4.8 star reviews and thought, Why not? The pictures looked great and prices were reasonable. At first glance, it looks like a deli on the outside but when you go inside, you can hear the sound of carne asada searing on the flat top grill and its intoxicating aroma permeating your olfactory. I took one look at the menu and saw Surf and Turf Burrito, loaded fries and Shrimp Tacos. I had to get it. The fries were crisp, the asada was savory and beefy, and the shrimps! Omg the shrimps were so plump and juicy! The chipotle sauce they had on the fries and tacos were the perfect balance of spicy and creamy. Every bite made me yearn for the next until finally, nothing left. It was the perfect ending to a succesfull clamming session. This is my new go to spot and I am so glad they're literally walking distance down to the beach. The sandwiches are good but the Surf and Turf Burrito, Shrimp Tacos and Surf and Turf Fries are to die for! I recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a flavorbomb! Don't forget the salsa!
This was my second time here and I brought the family this time and the food was just as amazing as the first time. Small little place next to the beach. Everything we have tried so far was really good. We'll definitely be back.
Located right next to the beach, Pier St Deli offers a delightful dining experience with its tantalizing tacos and scrumptious breakfast options. Whether you're craving a hearty morning meal or a flavorful taco feast, this spot delivers on both fronts. The ambiance is perfect for beachgoers seeking a relaxing meal with a view. With its delicious fare and picturesque location, Pier St Deli is sure to leave you satisfied and eager to return for more seaside dining adventures.
This place is a hidden gem! Everything was amazing. The woman at the counter was very pleasant and helpful with recommendations. We ordered the Italian sub, the Island burger, and the small bites grilled cheese for our son. We also tried the potato salad, mac salad, and fries. Our food was super tasty and fresh. Definitely one of the best burgers and subs we've ever eaten. Will definitely return if we're ever in the area again.
Small run deli with great customer service. French dip and Avocado beef sandwich were all out delicious! I highly recommend the potato salad it was very creamy and tasty. The food here doesn't disappoint and leavs you satisfied with their portions.

1st time here. Split the surf and turf burrito and was excellent. Been meaning to try this deli for quite a while. Should have come sooner. Highly recommend.

Great place and hospitality! Went for breakfast and lunch... Both meals were inexpensive compared to the amount of food. Will always come and visit whenever I'm town.

We had a breakfast sandwich and breakfast burrito with coffees. The portions were very generous. The food was delicious, friendly & efficient service. Our table was a little dirty but we'll definitely be back.
My friend and I stopped in while visiting the beach. We liked it so much that we ate there the next day. Had the Lazy Boy burger the first day and it was very good, but the Turkey Chipotle sandwich the next day was excellent! The hospitality was also above and beyond! If I'm ever in the neighborhood in the future I'm definitely stopping in!
My familys first time and we really loved it. Even our picky eaters enjoyed theur food. Highly recommend stopping here if you're in the area. We got burgers with fries, pastrami sandwich, and Philly cheesesteak. The burgers were delicious, fries crispy and well seasoned, and the Philly cheesesteak was also really good. The star of the show was definitely the Pismo pastrami sandwich. So yummy and the bread was soft and perfect for this type of sandwich. The staff were very kind and very hospitable and made it enjoyable to eat there. Prices were great too! Will be returning for sure!
We arrived late after a walk on the beach… at closing time. But we were invited in, and the food was delicious! What a great little deli and burger shop!! Family owned, and this place is worth stopping by! Don’t miss out!!
Fabulous food served with a smile by a gracious staff. We walked in just a few minutes before closing half expecting to be turned away, but they welcomed us with open arms and made it clear they were more than happy to take care of us, even though it resulted in their staying open 20 minutes later than normal. Great place to stop for food before heading out onto the dunes.
Went here for the first time yesterday and it was 10/10 all across the board. I picked some food up for my fiancé and I while we hang out at the camp grounds! Service was great, as the staff is very friendly. Food came out quick and the portions were HUGE !! We will definitely be frequenting this place more often! I recommend this 100% to anyone visiting oceano if you enjoy big portions and quality food
Food was very reasonably priced and tasted great. First time here and will be returning again. My fiance and I got the Pismo Pastrami sandwich, you cannot go wrong with this sandwich.
Not fake reviews. This place is amazing. We had the cheesesteak sandwich and the american burrito and loved both!

Simply a good diner. Burgers , sandwich, and tacos.
Good food and friendly service. Casual atmosphere. Great location if you’re going to the beach. Could be a bit cleaner…
A pretty good little sandwich shop. Enjoyed their classic pastrami with fries. It was all very flavorful, with a good proportion of condiments on a nice bun. The pastrami, this day, was a bit too chewy--not in a good way for pastrami. It may have been just an oddity in that one slab of meat, and is honestly the only ding against the visit. The fries are from daily-cut potatoes and you can taste it. Would definitely give it a second chance for redemption of that star.
We ordered 2 sandwiches from here a couple of days ago. My wife had the roast beef with avocado cold and I ordered the hot pastrami with just the pickles and mustard. Both were very good. Fresh ingredients. I do think the pastrami could have had a little more meat. Prices seem a little on the high side. It was very clean inside. Staff was very friendly. Will be back again.
Ventured off the beaten path to try "the best pastrami sando on the central coast." Not at all dissapointed. Loaded with pastrami on a toasted roll and tons of extra goodies including jalapeño, avocado, peppers and a Chipotle mayo. Next level goods. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Good small town service with an attention to detail. Refreshing to see a eatery by the beach that doesn't price gouge its customers. Well be back. Cheers to you, pier Street deli.
I got the veggie sandwich. The vegetables were fresh and good portions. It just needed something to add a little zip either pickle the cabbage and or onions. The sandwich came with chips. Sounds like their other sandwiches are very popular.

First off I always feel Horrible leaving a bad review. The sandwiches were not made with love at all. There was very little meat In the sandwiches. The sandwiches cost around $14 on average For a regular size. I really don’t mind spending $15-$20 in a sandwich if all the ingredients are fresh and the bread is made in house . Call the rolls were nothing special at all , Kind of stale. Don’t know if it’s new ownership but the pictures in the past look decent . We were all not impressed at all.
Went yesterday and the experience was great. The turkey sandwich was amazing and the portion enough for two people. The michelada was perfect with the rim elaborate & dressed with chamoy and tajin. I have no clue how the service could be so drastically different day to day. I went back today and had a completely different experience. I ordered the same michelada but this time with a chicken taco salad. I made it to out spot on the beach and unwrapped my food and it was the most pathetic looking cobb salad. Flavorless, extremely small portion size and not at all what I ordered. The michelada was average but was nothing special as it had been the previous day nor was it dressed with chamoy and tajin. I’m truly bewildered as to how I got completely opposite experiences at the same restaurant literally one day apart. Aside from myself, there was only one couple and one online order they were prepping so they don’t even have being busy as an excuse. I did overhear the staff arguing about orders and could tell they were irritated with each other but brushed it off. I can’t even take the food back and ask for a refund because all of our beach equipment and tent is set up. I hate that i was expecting great food again because now I’m even more dissatisfied and disappointed. The cobb salad is going in the trash.
If your business states you open at 8 but it’s almost 9, you should changed your times to reflect your new hours.
Absolutely horrible. Went there the other day as a family & my bacon was completely undercooked tasted horrible in general I took 3 bites trying to give it a chance but I couldn't do it it was that bad I'm sorry but it was. My brother in law told me his fish tacos tasted undercooked as well. My sister didn't like the pastrami fries either. Maybe the cook was just distracted I noticed the cook was going in & out with a beer in his hand 🙄 So maybe just a bit distracted on having a good time so he just rushed "cooking" the food. I don't know. 🤷🏻♀️ Don't get me wrong the people who worked there, the girls especially seemed VERY, VERY, kind but the food was horrible. We definitely won't be going back here again. Extremely disappointed........ Hate to leave a review like this but I was so upset with the outcome. I personally have NEVER been disappointed in a restaurant or a "food place" in general at Pismo/Ocean, until now.😔
My wife is 9 months pregnant and my daughters are 4 and 8 it’s pouring rain outside and they wouldn’t let them use the restroom unless they purchased something
I came to eat here because the reviews were rated pretty good and I hadn’t eaten here yet. I definitely will not be going back. I order the chicken salad and the chicken looked like there was no seasoning at all on it, the chicken was also cold and pale. I got mozzarella cheese sticks with it and they tasted like the cheapest thing you could find at the store. Any fast food place that sells them would have tasted better and not having to pay 9$ for them. My boyfriend ordered the pastrami sandwich and did not like it at all. He said there was too many different ingredients in it. Overall we would not go back.
Unacceptable Policy and Unkind Service – Would Not Recommend I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was deeply disappointing and deserves to be shared. During a recent visit, we asked to use the restroom in what was clearly an emergency situation—public facilities nearby were occupied, and as a physician I can empathize how timely access is sometimes medically necessary. Despite having already purchased a bottle of water, the staff refused restroom access, stating that “one bottle doesn’t cover the cost of the restroom.” We were forced to buy a second bottle just to use the facilities. The young woman at the front desk was not only rigid about this policy but also noticeably rude and lacking in compassion. There was no attempt to understand or accommodate the urgency of the situation. What’s most frustrating is that I would’ve gladly supported the business further—perhaps even bought food on our way back. But the blatant insensitivity and transactional coldness left a lasting impression. No customer should be made to feel uncomfortable or humiliated over basic human needs. I will not be returning, and I strongly discourage others from supporting a business that prioritizes profit over decency.
