The famous Splash Café first opened its doors in 1989, just steps from the Pismo Beach Pier. Since 1991, Splash has been run by Joanne and Ross Currie, who turned it into a certified local landmark. No trip to Pismo Beach is complete without a stop at Splash Café for a taste of our legendary Clam Chowder! Seriously, this chowder is so good that it consistently takes 1st place in the Pismo Beach Annual Clam Festival and has helped spawn our second location in San Luis Obispo along with nationwide shipping!

Order OnlineI LOVE THIS PLACE! They have the best clam chowder and freshest seafood around. Try the seafood salad. It has a pile of fresh, succulent seafood and a great dressing. I literally dream about the next time I get to go there.
”Amazing, simply amazing. The clam chowder in the bread bowl was so creamy and delicious that it's my favorite clam chowder. I do not like other clam chowders that are too watery or too thin. This one had a lot of good seafood in it.
”The BEST creamy butter clam chowder!!! You have to order the chowder in a bread bowl. They do a good job of gutting out the bread in the bowl and it's toasted along with the top of the bread... enough to dip into the chowder!
”Wow! Best clam chowder I’ve ever had. You have to get in a bread bowl! The fried shrimp, fish and chips taste so fresh. I will definitely be back! To top it off service was phenomenal.
