Great American Fish Company

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.

I am from the Pacific Northwest, so I am pretty picky with my seafood, but this was pretty good for fish and chips. The atmosphere was great and cozy and I could tell that a lot of people have enjoyed having dinner over the decades here. The service was top-notch, and the location of course was perfect. I love their outdoor seating area. I also love their reef fish tank. Their bottles of wine are reasonably priced. We all had the fish and chips, so I was not able to try any of the other seafood dinners, but I am sure they would be tasty. We came on a Friday night in November and there was only a 20 minute wait. So that was nice. There’s plenty of seating while you wait. Or you can go into the cocktail bar lounge area while you wait.I absolutely love their purple cabbage coleslaw. I would come back here again and try one of their more expensive dinners, like scallops, or fish.

So, if anyone has been a tourist to a seaside restaurant knows, food sucks and is over priced, not this place, I promise.

We really wanted clam chowder and there were so many options when looking around so we settled on this one just because!
The Cajun shrimp tacos were superb and perfectly done, shrimps were large and cooked well without being rubbery. The portions were huge and the fries were delicious. The clam chowder bread bowl was solid and delicious, the bread bowl was excellent, crunchy crust without being super thick, and full of flavor. The soup itself was very solid just missing a certain flavor that I can’t put my taste buds on, but I would definitely order it again. It had lots of clam chunks and was very nice and creamy.

Smoked Shrimp Tacos with a yummy, slightly spicy sauce. Better than most shrimp tacos!! Very tasty. Fish and chips are crispy and fresh, always a delight. And then there's the friendly service and stellar view. Winner, winner awesome dinner! Uh...we had lunch, so it's munch, munch, awesome lunch? 😃

Sherri took such great care of us. She even threw together an amazing Mignonette sauce for the fresh oysters. Wonderful views, personalized and attentive service and delicious fresh seafood!

We are from at a state and had a wedding reception here. The food was great and the server and staff were great and very kind. Would definitely go her again!

I love this place! Food is great and I love watching the seals and sea otters as the sun sets. My favorite place in the world!!!

The host was very hospitable and courteous. He was able to answer all the questions we had about the menu considering we were ordering take out. We ordered a few items and a soda. The food came out quick and we were on our way. He even offered to refill our soda before we left! Great first experience. We will be back!

Had a great relaxing dinner at sunset. Calamari steak was great. Creme Brule Cheesecakewas fabulous! Cost was $100 with tip, two dinners, soup, & dessert (no drinks).

We give this restaurant a full five stars. The location offers a great view of the bay and Morro Rock. The restaurant has cozy ambiance and clean environment as well.

Our server was kind and attentive. The food was delicious. We had the steamed Dungeness crab which was fresh- not frozen. Absolutely delicious. The barbecued oysters were juicy and had a delicious butter garlic sauce. We even used the tender sourdough bread to continue dipping into the sauce. This was our favorite restaurant in Morro Bay.

Awesome place. Super friendly, attentive, and quick wait staff. We had outdoor seating in the wonderful sunshine. Our beloved pup got to sit with us and enjoy this truly remarkable experience.
The food was good. Drinks were great. All in all it was a memorable event for our trip. Wish I would have taken more photos to share. But I was occupied enjoying it all.

Fun atmosphere and terrific food. The seafood is very fresh. And the otter nursery is just across the pier, so dinner and a show!

Follow up!!!
Today, we had the Almond encrusted Sole with a beautiful caper sauce. So very fresh and tasty!

It was pretty packed but we ended up finding a two-seater in the corner which was pretty good, given it had a view of Morrow Rock and a guest appearance by an otter right next to the dock!

We ordered coconut shrimp as an appetizer, raspberry ice tea for drinks (bottomless!), A sourdough sandwich with seafood and cheese (can't recall the name exactly) and Mac n cheese with crab and tomatoes.

Everything tasted great and I had no complaints (I had crab for the first time here, and I was not disappointed!)

I personally don't eat ham, bacon or any such variation so it was nice to know that these things could be excluded from my order if I requested it.

The staff was polite, helpful and gave great recommendations (that's where the caramel apple cheesecake came in).

Must try restaurant!! I ordered the Seafood Platter, which was shrimp, scallops, salmon, cod, and halibut in a scampi sauce. This is probably the best seafood dish I have ever had, and a must have.

We also got their house ceviche, which was so good. You can taste the freshness of the fish. Chips cost extra, and we didn't eat them, so you may not need them.

Overall a great experience. 10 out of 10 would recommend and will return!

Very good quality produce (the oysters are highly recommended), very simple and satisfying dishes, good wine selection, friendly staff and very clean place. Not to mention the view lovely view of the Morro rock and the sea lions.

Our waitress Alicia was such a sweetheart, she had such a positive attitude, ensured our glasses were full and had some great menu recommendations! I ended up getting the lunch special of a chipotle chicken sandwich and it was very delicious!! My partner got the snapper tacos and those were great as well! We’d certainly love to come back here if we are ever back in the area!(: the place also has a very cute view of Morro Rock ☺

This place was perfect! Great food and service with a view!

Dungeness Crab, linguini with clam sauce, grilled halibut, sauted mushrooms and calamari.
All great dishes. I especially liked the crab legs. Wow. They were excellent.

Sherri was hands down one of the best waitresses we could ever ask for. With so many food allergies, she and the chef went over and beyond to make my experience one not to forget which most restaurants won’t do. The Pacific Snapper was very fresh and perfect. We will be back when in the area. Thank you guys so much for top notch service and food!

We've been here a few times, but made reservations this year for our 30th anniversary. They had a reserved sign 9n our table by the window when we got there, where we were able to watch the sun set. The owner came by to check on us and make sure we were having a great dinner and to wish us a happy anniversary. The food is so good. We love this place!
