"This is Neptune’s Net signature dish. One time, deep into the pandemic when we lost our grip on reality, we came here and didn’t order the clam chowder bread bowl. Big mistake. We had to watch our friend happily enjoy his bread bowl (and the little bread hat that comes with it) while trying not to look too desperate whenever he offered us a bite." - the infatuation los angeles crew
"Neptune’s Net is a classic Malibu restaurant overlooking the Pacific Ocean and the perfect spot for weekend riders and beach-goers. Stop in for quick plates of deep-fried clams and shrimp, cold beers, chowder, fish tacos, grilled fish, and all the usual seaside fare, but with a view of the Pacific directly across from Highway 1." - Eater Staff
"Dating back to 1956, this Pacific Coast Highway staple at the northernmost tip of Malibu is a perfect place to experience the area in its natural environment. Ice-cold beers, fried seafood baskets, grilled catches of the day, and pineapple-slaw-topped fish tacos abound. With an eclectic mix of surfers, bikers, families and tourists, the fresh-caught seafood and crisp french fries are hard to forget." - Eater Staff
"This kitschy seafood diner on the north end of town is arguably the most popular pullover spot on the entire PCH. And while the swarms of brochure tourists can get intense, we’re never mad we went. The food is good (get that clam chowder or anything deep-fried), and the retro 1960’s California vibes are unparalleled." - brant cox, sylvio martins
"There’s something deeply nostalgic about driving up PCH’s Malibu coastline. The wind’s whipping through your hair, the salty air is wafting off the water, and your stomach is growling for a basket of fried seafood. While there are several seafood shacks on this stretch, none of them match the history and sheer joyful kitsch of Neptune’s Net. Open since 1956, this kitschy roadside tavern is an essential PCH pitstop with top-notch views, a unique crowd (it’s a big biker spot), a roomy front patio, and one of our favorite clam chowders in existence. Editor's Note: access to Neptune's Net via PCH is currently limited, but the restaurant is open and accessible using Kanan Dume Road or Malibu Canyon Road. Clam chowder bread bowl, Neptune's Net sampler" - brant cox, cathy park, garrett snyder, sylvio martins
