Good fish and chips, fish sandwich and fair fish tacos but the server was really bad. Were the place packed we could understand, but he only had one other table besides ours. Items were requested that were never served and even the check was a major delay. Great location more

Atmosphere, food and service was excellent. Outdoor heaters kept us warm. Fish was cooked perfectly and our waiter was friendly and provided great service. more

It's too bad that the Custom House/Mr. Ricks has a monopoly on Avila Beach. I used to enjoy going to the Friday Night Farmers Market, but after the rude treatment by the staff at Mr. Ricks I will never return. I was willing to put up with over priced cold food just to enjoy the beach. The guy that calls... more

Dined here recently... 15 minutes for drinks to arrive... main meal arrived almost an hour after ordering...server returned to the table 3 times ...yes three...to tell us they were out of something and we had to change or modify our order... Hard to give a good rating to the food when you can't get what you ordered... but what we... more

Eat here if you want to stay in Avila - small, almost-charming beach town (too many luxury condo's, no "meat") near SLO. The food is really spotty - the oak-grilled halibut was great but sides were plain, tempura tuna roll was almost gross, and the prime rib was so-so. Chowder -eh, very pasty. Wine list dismal. The service was very... more

The Custom House is a great value, considering the location; prime real estate on Avila Beach, right by the main pier. We had a corner window seat, but most seats in the place, especially outside, are spacious, well served, and have a great view of Front St. We had lunch for a family of four, two sandwiches and two kid’s... more

My husband and I decided to have Valentine's Day lunch here. The restaurant was clearly understaffed (poor planning for a holiday like V-Day), but the employees seemed to be trying their best. That said, let's talk about the food. Overall, the food QUALITY was terrific. The food QUANTITY was not. I ordered the patty melt and for an extra $2.00,... more

This is a great restaurant for brunch! We ate there every day of our stay in Avila Beach, and every item on the menu was delicious. The Turkey Machaca was outstanding, as were the Eggs Benedict (which they made Florentine style for me) and Veggie Fritata. The service was quick and the waiters really friendly. There is usually a wait,... more

I got married this summer at the Light House and had the Custom House cater our wedding. We ordered the new york steaks , clam chowder for dinner and WOW……the food was Delicious. The service was outstanding, everyone was very professional and everything went so smooth. We still get compliments on the dinner that was served that evening. Thankyou!!!!! more
