Customer Reviews
Wow! Great food at a good price. Great atmosphere. Usually the place nearest the beach is the most expensive and mediocre. But the fish was just $14. Really good and flakey. Coconut jumbo shrimp delicious. And the fries were fantastic. Nice presentation to boot!! So yummy. Highly recommended. Will come again!!!
The Custom House – Avila Beach Stopped by The Custom House during the Fourth of July rush. The place was clean and the staff was attentive maybe to attentive, but the food overall missed the mark for me. My Ratings: • Clam Chowder: 1.5/5 • Chicken Breast Sandwich: 2/5 • Tater Tots: 5/5 • Onion Rings: 5/5 • French Fries: 1/5 The chicken in my sandwich was cooked perfectly—tender and juicy—but it had almost no seasoning, so the whole thing tasted bland and like it needed something extra. The clam chowder was also disappointing and not as creamy as I prefer. My sister had a breakfast burrito and said it was decent but also a bit bland. For $27 (one sandwich, fries, and a cup of clam chowder), it felt pricey for the quality. If you don’t want to lose your parking spot, it’s a convenient opt
Haven't been here since the "COVID era". Ordered the tri tip nachos. They were good, but barely any tri tip. Place was clean and staff was nice. Would still come back, just wouldn't order those nachos again.
Custom House is a nice restaurant but you grab your own menu and seat yourself, then have to pick up your own food at the counter. I got the cioppino bowl. The food is well seasoned. The sauce is a little overwhelming in contrast to the seafood. The service is good but I wish there were actual servers. I'd come back some day to try other options.
Dont go here if you are expecting to have a nice sit down meal. You have to order and serve yourself now. The food was ok but could have been better. The chicken quesedilla was so greasy I could barely eat it. My dad got the jumbo clam strips and were burnt and tough to eat. The fish and chips are pretty good but not worth going back ever. Clam chowder was decent. Overall won't be going back.
