Alex Bar-B-Q — Restaurant in Pismo Beach

BREAKFAST is the overlooked secret of this outstanding BBQ venue!! Anybody who's been there can attest to the quality not just of their BBQ, but every item on their menu. And although there are some other well known breakfast establishments in the vicinity, you really owe it to yourself to give Alex breakfast menu a shot. I had a BYO omelette w bacon, peppers, onions and spinach (sorry I was too hungry to slow down and take a pic!), country potatoes and sourdough. This omelette dwarfs the size of anything comparable i've had in the area and it was simply outstanding, they do not skimp or mess around with their ingredients. Plus the service and vibe of the place is just fantastic... every worker (Bar Mgr, Wendy... and bartender, Jason in this case) has personality to burn and genuine interest in making your experience a good one. Ownership and management have done an amazing job transforming this place from its previous incarnation and making it a vibrant, fun, quality place to eat and drink. Kudo's Alex, you've...

Not bad food, not great food especially for the price. Paid $25 for a cheeseburger that I’m almost certain was from a pre maid frozen hamburger patty. Fries were pretty much the same, I’m assuming prior frozen. Wife had the chicken Caesar salad, zero wow factor, pretty standard. Not worth it for the price. Kids shared a cheese pizza that was no better than a bowling alley pizza, probably worse. Again the food would have been fine if not for the outrageously over priced tab. $75 for a bacon cheeseburger, chicken Caesar salad, and cheese pizza with two soft drinks and a lemonade. Not a god look nor a great start for Alex bbq. Only tried it because I was gifted a gift card. I sure hope they make positive changes in the future. Plenty of other local locations that do the same thing...

Walked in a the server told us to sit wherever we wanted, we sat on the patio and then she never came to us. I watched her walk out and look at us and keep walking. So we moved inside. All the other tables were just drinks yet our server could barely give us the time of the day. We finally ordered and the food was very average. I ordered the beer brats and you can tell they are frozen beforehand. Very dry. My boyfriend ordered the chicken wrap and there was maybe one chicken strip in it. For $22 that’s ridiculous. Mind you French fries come with it but to sub sweet potato fries it costs $3.75. That’s absolutely stupid....
