After over 40 years on the waterfront it’s hard to deny the Hofbrau is something of a tradition in Morro Bay.

Many tourists tell us that there are two places they must visit while in town: the beach and the Hofbrau. And locals love to reminisce about the first time eating with us, whether it was four days or 40 years ago.

The food is part of what makes the Hofbrau such a tradition. The legendary French Dip sandwiches start with our slow-cooked tender, juicy roast beef that’s hand carved while you watch. Piled high on a soft roll, it’s then steamed and served piping hot with a side of flavorful au jus. The clam chowder is made in-house, and the beer battered fish and chips are hard to beat. Add flame-grilled burgers, a fresh salad bar and dozens of other menu items, and there is something for everyone.

It’s not just the high quality food that makes the Hofbrau what it is. Walk in and you automatically feel welcome by the smiling employees and the cozy, casual atmosphere. The Hofbrau has been owned by Stan Van Beurden and his family since it opened in 1971, and you are bound to see a family member when you come in.

And don’t forget the view. It’s hard to find a better place on the waterfront to watch the boats glide by in the bay, or see the sun dip behind Morro Rock.

Come dine with us and be part of the tradition. We’d love to hear your stories over the next 40 years.
