We stopped in for breakfast with the family. A nice little spot right in front of the beach. The food was reasonably priced and it all tasted great. I would definitely be back if we are in the area again.

Although the decor was very blah...the food was really good. From the Calamari and Shrimp and grits to Fried green tomatoes and Mozzarella salad and deviled eggs...yummy yum yum Right across the street from Seal Beach.

Another great place in Seal Beach. But this has something that the others doesn’t, and that is a view of the pier. The food is good, the staff was extra friendly. The host sat us and actually struck up a conversation with us. So we...Read More

This place burgers are on point. Their fries are like In and Out but thicker. The meat load dinner hit the spot. They grilled their meatloaf so in some ways it was like a Salisbury steak. 🔥 service was really great and friendly

We love this place. Food, service, and atmosphere do not disappoint. After having their delicious food, you can cross the street and walk down one of the longest piers. Enjoying the view and fresh air. ❤️

Blackened mahi on grits was amazing! Chicken tacos were just ok. Buffalo chicken sandwich was spicy and yummy. Alexis was a great server! Not a ton of options if you need to eat gluten free.
