Delightfully quaint an' distinctly charming an' tidy locallish casual comfort and warm welcome vibe by the characters tending the operations . . . which is the real wheelhouse of this delicious eatery. Look up and to the left to find the daily specials (each ay'v tried from here gets the eater sublimely well to "3-clicks-shy of (foodie) Nirvana"...by the 2nd . . . and then INTO the 3rd . . . bite). Try also anything from the "regular" menus of sandwich, salad, burger, & soup: each item a well-crafted and chef-curated concept that sure was likely FUN to test-sample the variants of as they zeroed-in on "blam: now THIS is IT", . . . each iteration prepared and assembled by hearty and beyond just kinda capable "hands"...with smiling faces. Nice selection of draft craft beers, too, to make pairing food an' drink a worthwhile EXTRA pause before final decisions get set to spoken word. Also, save room for desert if you care or dare to. A friend who visits with me (and aye with he) just REALLY digs tha carrot cake, like blithely nervous an' giddy mere at the tennable an' tangible thought...becoming word spoken aloud . . . and the affirming host echoes back her line amid a chorus of angels he's hearing sing, . . . it quite seems. ...and this is just in the placing of and paying for such requests, and YEAH . . . even slightly moreso at the mystic flight well-plated in VERY generous portion by guiding hands of hosts who know how to get the good stuff to just the right spot for the enrapturously joyful customary incremental deplating ritual. (aye mean, YES, its a better than merely GOOD carrot cake to sample and enjoy, . . . but also to just be nearby to somebody whom is ALSO, well, enjoying their already not unenjoyable daily sojourning prior to the mid-day meal . . . blissfully radiating tha JOY-vibe yet and even moreso.) More than just my buddy does THAT in THIS dining room, so when "in town" and they're open at the same time you're . . . ...don't miss that first time ever visit. ...and return again periodically thereafter at your casual. Come enjoy some exquisite eats an' drinks, remembering also to fly and shine your heart's quiet and more...
Read moreFirst timer to Flavor Factory in Morro Bay. Extensive menu! They even have a salad bar! Something I have missed in this area. I hope salad bars are making a comeback. Got their cheeseburger with everything. Burgers come with fries or macaroni salad. I chose the fries. Fries were good although not what I'm used to seeing. They are unpeeled russets with seasoning which gives them a dark amber color. Crisp on the outside and creamy inside. Just a tad dry.
I must say this is a superior burger. Thick, juicy, flavorful. Looked to be cooked to medium, although they didn't ask what I wanted and I made no request. Fresh toppings include lettuce, onion, tomato, and pickle. Attention all other burger joints: This is the right pickle to use on a burger. Not sweet, not overpoweringly sour, just enough acid to complement the other toppings. They use a sauce similar to Thousand Island. I added mustard from their basic condiment bar. Really could not have been better if I cooked it myself.
My only complaint is the bun. Too soft and squishy to hold up to this big, juicy burger. A toasted ciabatta bun might be a better choice.
They also offer hot and cold sandwiches, salad bar, and desserts. Basic beverage assortment including beer. Large eat-in dining area. Easy to find in a shopping center with lots of free parking.
October 2019 Update: was staying nearby and thought I'd have another superior burger. What a GOOD idea! Regular cheeseburger and fries even better than I remember. This time I got it to go and they included a small container of their special sauce. I would buy a gallon of this and put it on everything. It's a perfect blend of creaminess and spices with a hint of smoke. Go to Flavor...
Read moreMy husband found this spot for me knowing I love Thai food and drinks. We were warmly greeted and offered help with ordering since it was our first time here. My husband doesn’t eat Thai food but decided to give it a shot and he was not disappointed. The fries were so crispy yet soft in the middle. The garlic edamame was so full of flavor and was the best I’ve tried so far. I had the the chicken and garlic with cashews over the rice and the portion was big. My husband had the curry chicken sandwich and I asked for the sauce on the side but he actually liked it. We dipped the fries in and so yummy! We’re visiting and so we’re going back again for lunch before we leave. The mango milk tea was sweet and refreshing and as an added bonus got a Thai tea to go and again, so refreshing! I hope this place is around for a long time because it is now my...
