Cool Cat Cafe

This place is a diamond in the rough! Great energy from the staff. Look at the food! I picked up the Don Ho burger with fries and a side salad. The root beer was pretty good too! Definitely bringing the kids next time. 5 stars doesn't do this place justice, hey google let's add another star!

Stopped in to Cool Cat Cafe on our road trip from San Francisco to LA. The food was great! Highly recommend the sliders and the milkshakes. Probably the coldest milkshake that I've ever had. The service was excellent and would stop here any time for a top-up.

During our recent Pismo trip, my wife and I enjoyed a nice dinner at Cool Cat Cafe. With a cool '50's diner motif, the Cool Cat Cafe boasts many menu items. The bar is prominent with multiple screens for sports.

The restaurant was moderately busy for a Monday at 7pm, but we were seated quickly with no wait. We started off with an order of "Frings" (1/2 basket of onion rings + 1/2 basket of fries). My wife ordered the "Betty Boop" (BLT + mayo on grilled sourdough), and I ordered the "Graffiti Grill" (grilled cheese on sourdough and I added ham). We weren't terribly hungry so both of our menu choices were fairly light. The food was served quickly and service was very good.

All in all, a good comfort food restaurant with a great atmosphere, a bit noisy, but reminiscent of the old '50's soda shops and restaurants. Recommended.

Curtis was awesome and what a smile! Greeted us with a complimentary dessert called the cookie monster shake before we even ordered. My daughter light up like a Christmas tree and it was so GOooooOD!!! Best cheery coke I've ever had. Homemade burgers with fresh and fabulous toppings. So good, OMG!!! The cheese sticks are HOMEMADE and the cheese can stretch across the whole cafe. I don't know anyplace else that does that. Do you? So Fabulous!!! Marinara sauce was excellent to go with it. We will be back and my husband may never leave 😁🌞

The food was great and the atmosphere was fun. My server did well, but she wasn't super attentive. I was looking for her help trying to order something else, and Anders jumped in to help with taking my order making a banana split and oreo shake! Thanks so much!

Great little beach side Cafe! The food was surprisingly good for what it appeared. I had the blackened Mahi Mahi and everything on the plate was great! The little cup of salsa was amazing, I forget what it was called. They should sell that in jars!

Went again last night. Still had great food and service.
Carla, our server, recommended the spicy tarter sauce.
Omg!!!! Heaven!!

We come here at least once a year and I got the treat of coming twice. Fish and chips are so tender, not oily, nice flaky crust. Clam chowder was bomb as always. It always comes out at the perfect temperature and not clumpy. My friends compared the burger to a Red Robin Bonsai burger.

Food was cooked to perfection! Each selection was great and the drinks are dangerously delicious! Most importantly, our server was amazing. Curtis introduced us to their fish of the day, additional options, and so hospitable. Our experience was wonderful annd highly recommend. I hope you run into Curtis - he is awesome!

This was our first time. The burgers were fantastic. The service was even better. I discovered the separate milk shake menu with multiple delicious combinations for great shakes. The who experience was terrific and a real find. We will certainly be returning.

The food was shockingly good. I recommend the Don Ho burger, Lahaina Luna chicken sandwich and the fries. The service was fast and friendly.

Very cool place to make a stop over.
Food's very excellent.
Big thanks to Cola for the service

This place is on fire!
It has an amazing burgers with a LOT of vegetables inside. When I’m saying a lot it felt like someone really cared about my nutrition ✌🏼
Vegans & vegetarians you have a lot of options in the menu.
We had also fish taco that was so fresh and tasty.
The onion rings felt like a real onion rings and the fries was crunchy and good.
Listen - if you’ll be near by- go there.
The service was so good - we had a waitress, her name was Julie and it was so hard not to fall in love with her. She was so nice and caring.
The price was good - 20$ per each.
Go there. Go there now!!

When someone says: “want a shake?” My answer is an ecstatic: “Absolutely!”

So I keep things simple. Western chicken sandwich, and the grasshopper shake. Where I’m from- not many places have flavors like mint in their shake lineup. And everywhere I go, I always have to try their version of a shake.

Did not disappoint, no, it was incredible, it was visually appealing from the beginning and the taste perfectly matched that beauty. The diner is perfectly situated near the pier so it was a quick walk over. The staff are friendly and quick to get us to tables. The chicken sandwich was delectable. If I were a local, I’d probably see myself in a booth every weekend for shakes and talking with friends.

Everything we ordered here was bomb 💣!!! The burgers, the fries, the onion rings, and the root beer floats!!! And the service was Also excellent!!! Our waiter had great recommendations and had everything we needed fast!!! Highly recommended 👌 👍 👏 💯 🙌 😊

Absolutely love the food and atmosphere here. We always eat here when we're in the area. Excellent burgers , this time I tried the new bloody Mary burger that was recommended by our waiter and it was really good.. Very tasty, not like a bloody Mary, just a Lil tang of spiciness that war prefect on this perfectly charbroil burger. Best burgers I've had in the area and we come here all the time , so we have tried lots of places.

Came here right near closing and the staff was very welcoming. Great diner style food with wonderful looking milkshakes.
We had a burger, baked potato and mozerlla sticks and everything was good with a reasonable price.
I'd recommend this place for a family looking for dinner or anyone looking for a nostalgic American diner experience.

Everything was great! Even though they were seemingly busy, we easily got in for a table for two. Our server and host were friendly and the food very tasty- we had the fish tacos, coleslaw and sweet fries with garlic aoli. So good!

Visited this place after looking at the Google reviews and we were not disappointed!! Finding a parking space might be a problem but if it's not too busy then at the beach one should find a parking space.

Our server Karla was great. The fish n chips was really good!! The Jumbo shrimps were really Jumbo...my lil one had a struggle biting into it!!! Overall the experience was good 👍👍

I had a hankering for a good burger. I heard the hype around this place, so I decided to give it a try. The Bonanza burger was terrific, fries excellent, everything tasted great. Staff all friendly, restaurant clean with a retro vibe. The whole experience was just immaculate. I will definitely be back!

Food was great, happy hour is pretty good bang for your buck. The young waitress we have had twice was not so great. Explained items incorrectly on the menu and when we got our food she charged extra. Also only checked on us once when she checked on the table next to us maybe 5 times.
