★★★★☆ 4.0 Psyduck · Nov 2025

One of the few places that still has outdoor seatings in November. Our puppy liked the chicken, but our fish tacos and blackened shrimp were okay. Recommend this place to anyone dining with a dog. 🐶

Sat outside during lunch, great location. Service was outstanding, very helpful and such friendly staff with quick turn around time as drinks were immediately delivered and food took less than 10 mins from ordering. I had the surf club burger and she had the chicken tacos. Burger was disappointingly without much of a taste at all and seemed that it was just a regular burger patty. The fries were drenched in oil and had a fishy taste to them, possibly by being fried on same oil(?). Chicken tacos also had little taste to it. They are missing that special touch to make the dishes stand out. Would definitely recommend this place for drinks as it was fun but I’d skip it as a lunch/dinner spot.

We visited the Surf Club recently and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. The food was well below expectations and took an unusually long time to arrive. In addition, the service made us feel uncomfortable. The bartender and waitstaff were repeatedly laughing and looking in our direction, which came across as unprofessional and childish. Rather than feeling welcomed, it made the atmosphere awkward and uninviting. Overall, the atmosphere was not what we expected, especially given the reputation of the establishment. This experience fell far short of what we were anticipating and was disappointing overall.

This place was goooooood my friends and I came and I got the grilled chicken pesto pizza and it was 10/10. Other good items were: fish tacos, chicken taco salad, crispy buffalo chicken pizza. All of them were great. I’ll definitely be coming back when I’m in the area again. Oh and the service was normal and good. No complaints
