This restaurant is so Fantastic! I've been many times with my family in the past 30 years and I've been by myself. Even when I went by myself for dinner - they gave me a wonderful seat right next to the windows with the most gorgeous view. I was very impressed! The food is always amazing - the bacon wrapped filet mignon is by far my favorite. The atmosphere is fun and festive and the service is perfect! The entire restaurant is handicap accessible as well - so it's perfect for all generations.
Went for thanksgiving and the food was good. The turkey dinner my girlfriend has was full of bones and not much meat at all. She was very disappointed. But they were super busy so we were not going to complain. I got the prime rib and it was good It wasn't the servers fault. Maybe better luck next time.
Always a fun time and full belly at Big (and little) McLintocks! The atmosphere is like being at the family ranch, very friendly and festive. They have a large bar area, often with live tunes, if that's your scene. It's always fun having someone from your group get blind folded water poured on their heads! Might get a little wet, haha, unless they're a real pro!
Most of us usually get a steak because that is our favorite, but their other dishes are also just as tasty. And their beans are definitely one of my favorite items!
The crew is always nice and ready to serve. Great ocean views from the window seats, a lot of fun stuffed animals that the kids always get a kick out of.
And if you don't have a reservation or feel like going to the Big one, they have 2 other locations, one in the Village of AG and one in downtown SLO, cheers!!
This review is specifically for Thanksgiving lunch. This was some of the best Thanksgiving food I ever ate. People ordered different things but generally turkey, ham, and salmon. Everyone said it was delicious. There was so much food we took 5 boxes home for dinner later. Update 11/23. We have decided to make dinner here our Thanksgiving tradition. Once again the food was absolutely outstanding. Service was a bit slow but honestly it was expected given the large amount of people there.
Ribeye steaks cooked medium well and so flavorful serve with mashed potatoes…so👍. Had a side of Broccolini with a fine glass wine 🍷. The server was exceptional (Christine) and made sure we had a pleasant experience. Gotta give props to other staff that made for a nice evening. Knowing where to go for a steak dinner in Pismo Beach is key to enjoying the area. F. McLintock is the place.(They start you with a fresh basket of Onion Rings…a win-win)
Good ole western atmosphere !!! Fun light heart folks working there and providing great service. They're very accommodating if you have a picky eater. I had the Ribeye steak and it was cooked to perfection. I look forward to going back.
It's a big place, so there is seating everywhere. The scenery inside makes you feel like we are in a huge cabin out in the woods somewhere. The staff there are incredible with their blindfold water tricks they do. They are also very knowledgeable of the menu. They have bottomless onion rings. You get a lot of food. You will be taking food home. I was not too thrilled with their Mac and cheese. It lacked flavor and cheese. To be honest, they need a better Mac and cheese recipe. My steak was a little over cooked but still really good. Overall a great experience, would love to come back.
Came back to McLintocks for the first time in years. DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!! our server was great. even the water server was great. my wife and i shared the 14 oz ribeye, with baked potato and broccolini. everything was perfect. steak smokey and delicious. cooked perfectly. my wife had the peach blossom cocktail, again, great.
Tonight was my first visit and it was a hit! The staff here are all so kind and so fun, especially our server Tawnya! She did such an amazing job and we are so happy that she helped us tonight. (I would drive all the way back across the country again if it meant having her as a server, she’s that good!)The food was all incredible too and we had a lot of fun with the overhead water pouring ◡̈ Next time I’m back in the area this is a must visit!!
It was delicious! I appreciated the live music, the girl doing covers was really good. Our waitress went above and beyond for us, very kind and even checked if there was mint for my virgin mojito since the waitress before her said there wasnt any. Thank you Kristen(sorry if wrong about name) was hubbys first time and he loved his prime rib.
I love places like this. It seems like restaurants like this are getting harder and harder to find. Great ambience. Excellent food, with lots of choices. I had rib eye steak, garlic shrimp and ribs. The food was tasty and the service was excellent. The young man that waited on us looked a little bit and sounded exactly like Mathew McConaughey. Great personality and you could tell he really enjoyed his job.
Porterhouse for 2 at $85 is a little stiff but having to add $6 to get beans and potatoes is clearly over the top. Food was great-cooked as requested, served by friendly staff in a nice western atmosphere.
Cannot thank Jay and his staff enough. Him, manager Ashley, and the rest of them helped make our wedding day special. Helped us feed 30 family members who came to the coast to help celebrate our day. The banquet room was the perfect setup and the kids had room to go out back and play. The food was great as always but the staff and the kindness was the best of the best. Cannot thank them enough.
Everything was wonderful except the follow through when I told staff I was gluten sensitive. I had to ask 2 staff members to clarify if the au jus for my dish hade flour in it. The communication between staff wasn't as good as it should've been. All the staff was professional and kind. The food was delicious and the drinks were good. Service went pretty smoothly.
I had the best Prime Rib here. See yall soon
This place is everything I remember as a kid! Famous blindfolded water refills on your head, a toy from the saddlebag for the kids, and onion rings and salsa as an appetizer. The top sirloin was delicious and full of flavor. Adults get a tan Ferrari drink with dinner. They even have cornhole in the back. Can’t wait to bring my family back!
