History of Dutchman's Seafood House

Paul Van Beurden and family arriving in USA from their native Netherland, 1957 Our family emigrated from The Netherlands to Fresno in 1957, Mom and Dad brought with them nine children, the family had lots of mouths to feed. That is one reasonwhy we are in the restaurant business! Mom and Dad taught us the values of a strong work ethic and the will to succeed as we helped to support the family. We startedin the restaurant business in 1964 in the Yosemite Valley, then moved here to the coast in 1968. Our Family has been part of the local restaurant scene for many years.

Our goal is to provide you with friendly service and quality home cooked meals in a relaxing family friendly atmosphere, we strive to treat every guest of Dutchman'sSeafood House as part of our family.

The food is local and very good. I got the smoked tuna melt which is caught by a local fisherman. My only gripe is the straw served in our water. I mentioned to the waitress that straws should only be served on request, she shrugged her shoulders like she didn't ...

Opted for Fish & Chips, but with tartar sauce rather than malt vinegar. Wonderful beer batter on fish, which was flaky & cooked to perfection. Great view of Morro Rock until the sun disappeared on the horizon. Tried a glass of house Chardonnay, which was just okay. Wait staff marginal, but that ...

Came in for lunch on a Monday. Received excellent service and food. Oysters are delicious and Bloody Mary was tasty, but not very strong. Clam chowder was fantastic. Recommend this spot for sure!

Crab-melt was delicious. Clam chowder in a bread bowl was really tasty. The restaurant staff was very accommodating to our large party with several small children. Beautiful views of the Bay. I am pretty partial to Dutch people/family owned restaurants. This was a winner

Their fried cod makes me almost think that the owner come from the same family from The Hague fish market. It's like eating fried seafood from back home....

Delicious food. Great view. Service was sub par. If I'm paying a good amount for dinner, I'd expect a tad better service. But food was excellent and that's what will keep me coming back!

We have been visiting Morro for many years, this was our first time trying the Dutchman. We were not disappointed like we have been with other seafood restaurants. The clam chowder was thick and flavorful. I love sanddabs and so I judge all seafood restaurants by their ability to create ...

Our favorite spot in Morro Bay. Delicious food and beautiful views. The one reason i didnt give 5 stars is the the chowder is always changing. Sometimes is savory and flavorful, sometimes its bland. I wish they'd just stay with one buttery, bacon, celery inspired chowder recipe.

This place is amazing. I would order everything if I could. I did have crabcakes, fish and chips, mahi tacos, garlic fries and my daughters chicken strips all just killer. Thanks for the experience.

We went for Happy hour and bartender was very friendly and took good care of us even though it was busy. We had been eating all day so weren't very hungry. We shared a local caught smoked albacore sandwich. Tasty! We saw some plates go by that looked delicious and ...
