Burgers come a la carte, with a wide variety of sides available. The sweet potato waffle fries are the way to go.

Brooke Louise

Quite a few vegan options - falafel burger , teriyaki bowl. Great service, great beer .

Thrillist

Go during happy hours for $1 beers , $1 tacos , and some spectacular sunsets . Order the massive, cheese-stuffed burger . Just don't go swimming too soon after. Read more

This is THE bar and restaurant that everyone who loves San Diego needs to frequent: surf, fresh air , stunning views of the waves and delicious seafood = instant favorite

Veronica A

Great view w/ the open windows ! An excellent raspberry mojito from Jack! Friends tried & ordered but they were TERRIBLE, nicely they didn't charge. Raw oyster shell pieces kept breaking into my mouth.

Levaker

The Halibut fish and chips here is so good, I honestly cannot have fish and chips anywhere else. Part of me is kind of bummed, but then again, it gives me an excuse to come back. So win/win I guess?

Kooter

Beautiful view of the ocean while you eat. All the tacos are perfectly made to hit every taste bud. They also have a great beer selection .

Jon B.

Outstanding views of the beach . Had the short rib platter, and it was awesome!

Lyndsi Winer

Great place for views . You can see the whole beach from here. Food is mid grade priced but, good. Love the Firebird burger ! MMMM spicy !

Everything I have eaten here has been good but anything with the garlic fried rice is awesome. That at the stickybuns in the morning are bomb.

Best tacos I had in SD. Excellent guacamole . Sit at benches by open windows . Very nice staff

El Doosty

The view . #SDBeer. Cheap Tecate drafts . Live Oyster Crabs with your oysters if you're lucky.

Jon Menager

Really bumpin' spot with killer views of OB. Did someone say $10 bottles of champagne before 2pm? Yup. The mimosas be flowin'.

Amazing on the inside...I miss Nicks but they did a great job revamping the place. Nachos however were disappointing.

Not too shabby. Not cheap , but for that location/view you can't expect dive prices. Ceviche/fish tacos is solid
