Two days ago, I went to the SLO Craft Beer Fest at the Alex Madonna Expo Center at the famous Madonna Inn property in San Luis Obispo, California.

We decided to go with the Friday ticket versus the Saturday ticket because it was significantly cheaper and we're hoping it would be less crowded.

We didn't have to bring any extra cash for food and drinks because our ticket included al...

Tropical Hawaiian BBQ Review | Arroyo Grande

The menu includes katsu chicken, loco moco, kalbi ribs and other Hawaiian entrees. I ordered the Daily Special B which include katsu chicken, one scoop of white rice and one scoop of macaroni salad and I did not finish my meal. The portions were huge!

(Note: Their Grover Beach location is now at a different address and most of these photos were captured when we went to their older Pacific Flips Grover Beach location.)

We planned a birthday party for our 6 year old at Pacific Flips Gymnastics at the Grover Beach location and it was fantastic! Our son and his guests had an amazing time.

You can pick from 2 packages: 90 minutes or 2 hours and we went with the 2 hours for $205. (Rates may have increased over time.)
