Laguna Grill - San Luis Obispo

Laguna Grill offers fantastic salads. We tried the BBQ salad with tri-tip and the Cobb with tri-tip, both of which were delicious! The only suggestion I have is to chill the Romaine lettuce in advance for a crisper texture. We used a coupon for our meal, as the prices have increased significantly. Overall, this was a great choice for our anniversary lunch.

I ordered my burger cooked medium rare but it came out overcooked. The presentation was nice as I requested it to be cut in half. The flavor was good, but not amazing considering the $19 price tag. I may return in a few years but it's not the first place I would think of when I'm hungry. The prices are definitely on the higher side.

The bartender/waitress at this restaurant was exceptional, tirelessly moving between tables the whole time. However, the rest of the staff, including the owner, did not provide any help and instead gave me unfriendly looks. I'm not sure what I did to deserve that treatment, especially since it was my first visit. Despite this, I have no intention of returning. It seems like they may be on the verge of going out of business, and perhaps it's for the best. For the record, I owned a bar/grill for a decade and always emphasized the importance of providing friendly service above all else. The atmosphere at this restaurant was quite dismal. On a side note, the tri-tip dish was average at best, but the onion rings were delicious.

I believe this restaurant deserves a higher rating than it currently has. The food is excellent, especially the hamburgers which are fantastic. The salads are decent, but I personally was not a big fan of them.

This is the best hamburger you will ever eat, no joke! The Black and Blue burger is out of this world, along with their delicious salads and other menu items.
