SALTWATER DECK

Machaca breakfast burrito and grass fed beef burger were delicious. Spices in the burrito were perfect! Flavors and spice were present without it being too spicy. Ambiance was great, seating is on the sand steps away from the ocean.

Came by on a late Friday afternoon to grab some lunch and enjoy the beach a bit. There was a rope course playground behind the building, cornhole & a big jenga block set for the kids to enjoy while we waited for our food. We got the burger, chicken, spicy burrito. None of it was mind-blowing but still very good. The chips that came with the burg were interesting, we were unsure if they were fried in-house or not but still decent if they were. The individual that served us at the window was on-point with his service, brought out our drinks for us and gave me a bag to use for leftovers. Would recommend if you're in the area.

All in one place, delicious food, good music, great atmosphere, parking, shower, toilet close to the ocean, children's playground. Thank you SALTWATER DECK for your care and effort.

Great spot to stop by for a bite to eat. Besides having cute Togo boxes, the food is delicious. I had the garlic grilled cheese with chips. Sooooo good! The sandwich had a good chuck of cheese in there and the garlic was a powder on top of bread. It actually worked really well together. Service was great too. The staff were friendly to everyone who went up to order. They also had outdoor seating on the sand. It's really a cute spot. Definitely recommend trying if you haven't been.

The breakfast burritos and sandwiches were really tasty! Kids played in sand while we waited. We really enjoyed being on the beach and enjoying my coffee. Service was amazing! Special community area and you like to bball then bring a ball.

Always so yummy I forgot to take photos of the food, great vegan options!

Great location, friendly staff and amazing food. They have a variety of different types of beachy foods to try and eachone is freshly made to order. I've gone already for breakfast for the great breakfast burrito or sandwich and several times for lunch trying something new each time. If you have kids they can have some ice cream right after playing on the jungle gym set next door. My favorite new spot to visit for quality food..you will not be disappointed.

The food is nothing to write home about, pastrami breakfast sandwich was bland and dry. My friend could not finish her buffalo chicken wrap. But the employee who offered to wipe down our table before we sat and the on-beach location and games kind of made up for it.

We decided to try this place out today and it was great! It's right on the sand and next to a playground. They also have big jenga blocks and cornhole so you can fill up your tummy and also be entertained and keep your kids busy as well. Laura helped us at the counter and was super patient and helpful as we were trying to decide what to order. I ended up getting the breakfast burrito, which was phenomenal. I love how they use a fried egg instead of scrambled eggs. Also, I switched out the bacon for sausage which was very tasty. Hubby got the pastrami breakfast sandwich which he also enjoyed. And our daughter got the Nut Butter & Jelly sandwich which came on a torta type bread. It was huge! She really liked it also. Overall a really great place and I highly recommend it.

Love this spot! It's a perfect blend of scenic views, hearty and freshly cooked food, and a spot for a casual drink after a nice walk on the beach. It is a bit pricey but that's not surprising given that it's literally on the sand (warning: chairs and tables are indeed on the sand, dress appropriately) and since it's freshly made it takes about 15 minutes to get your food (so get a drink while you wait or read a book). Perfectly between Gaucho and Belmont Brew if you want to do a beach walking beer/food tour!

We had a beach day with a friend recently and she grabbed us coffees from this spot when we first arrived. Their iced coffee is SO GOOD!! And silly me forgot to pack lunch. At around 2pm me and my daughter were getting hangry. So I walked over to this spot to pick up some food. I got my daughter a cheese quesadilla and I ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich. Both were delicious. Their little patio seating area is so nice. Great location. The service was fairly quick and the gal at the order window was nice.

Decided to stop by here for lunch after dropping some friends off in Long Beach. This is a small and casual restaurant right on the beach. Food was good overall. Really enjoyed the quesadilla with the spicy sauce that came with it. The cheese steaks were good but not great. My friend felt the chicken one missed the mark and could have been seasoned better. The chips that came with the cheese steaks were crispy and not oily. Service was quick and friendly. There's a large metered parking lot right next to the spot. Overall, this is a good spot for a casual lunch during a day at the beach.

Prices are reasonable and the food is pretty good especially for a concession stand style cafe resto on the beach. They don't have fancy coffees but a cafe at lait is fine and they have oat milk. Breakfast sandwich was substantial for the price. Nice little place!

I don't come down to Long Beach often so I was looking for some quality breakfast hole in the wall type of place. This is definitely a go to for me for sure. I will be coming back again and the view is amazing as expected fast service and friendly staff I will be coming back. The breakfast burrito that I ordered while being $15 for a burrito was definitely well worth it for me. I got scrambled eggs instead of a fried egg. It had nice quality roasted potatoes on the inside as well as cheese and bacon of course and it comes with a side of salsa that I didn't even need to use cause it was so flavorful.

I can't believe I haven't been here before. I love walking at this beach and I'm disappointed I haven't never noticed it before, I have definitely been missing out. Thanks to Long Beach walking club instagram i got to try this place for the first time! I ordered the breakfast sandwich and it was delicious. Also, I'm shocked on how affordable the food is... I mean it's a cute shack by the beach!! Oh.... And they sell alcohol. I got to enjoy my meal with a guava mimosa... possibly two haha I hear the breakfasts burrito is a must so I need to come back to see if it's true! Cute brunch spot with lots of space. This place needs to be more hyped up!

Do yourself a favor and go grab a pineapple cream soda The best time to go is in the AM, grab a breakfast burrito and play cornhole. It's a good time.

This place is so good. Take your shoes off, push your feet into the sand, enjoy a delish beer, get an eyeful from the ocean view, and do yourself a favor and grab a sandwich. Been here multiple times, solo and with the whole fam. Usually skate there or ride our bikes. NOT your usual beach-snack-shack! Kids always get the breakfast burrito and an açaí bowl. Always delish. I'm a fan of the sandwiches. Got a hot pastrami with mustard and pickles recently and it was amazingly tender with LOTS of mustard and pickle in every bite. Finally got to try their Italian last weekend. SO good! Their bread is amazing and the Italian dressing inside should be bottled and sold. Check it out!

This place is so amazing! Exactly what we needed in Long Beach. The food is great and the ambience is even better. I'm so glad I came across this place.

I absolutely love this place it's literally therapy and great food at once . This place brings me so much peace and the food being good is such a bonus. Everything is good here I've had the salads the wraps , breakfast burritos the sandwiches and the guava mimosa I've been here plenty of times . The service is always fast and nice people in front taking orders. The view is amazing can't beat sitting in the sand watching the waves while eating . I absolutely love it

Let's play a little game in the sand while waiting for my order to go! How cute I just pulled up and parked to saltwater and there was this game just waiting for me! Nice breeze today! I see people sitting eating their food right in the sand! Now if you really wanna eat on the beach this is the place.

Very cool spot! We lucked up and got a break from the rain to enjoy a beautiful lunch outside! The chocolate chunk icecream and burgers were a big hit! The breakfast burritos were a bit heavy on the potatoes slices and we were disappointed that we couldn't add all the fixins (no sour cream or avocados) but overall we enjoyed to food and location.

Right on the beach, such a chill dog friendly spot. Good food and a puppy Pattie on the menus. Also has adult beverages

A beachside cafe on the sand is everything I didn't know I needed here in LA/OC. It's such a great chill spot, plenty of parking, just steps away from the Pacific Ocean. They have corn hole, giant Jenga, a climbing park right next to it. So it's an amazing spot for families and even the pups (they offer unseasoned grilled beef patties!) I got the tofu banh mi with a side salad and a machaca breakfast burrito. Surprisingly, the food was actually pretty impressive, half of me was expecting beach shack quality. The food does take a bit to come out, but it's not fast food here. They serve alcohol, have vegan options, breakfast all day. It's a pretty great spot to relax, enjoy the sound of the beach waves, dig your toes in the sand, and eat/drink.

Great place for a quick bite or drink while having a day at the beach or getting your fitness on!

Great spot and a huge improvement from the last beach stand that was there. The only thing I've had here is the breakfast burrito, which is pretty phenomenal. I'd say top 5 in Long Beach for sure. They also sell alcohol now which is a beer and wine selection, including mimosas with your breakfast. The prices are a bit steep, but that's expected for beachside dining. There is a nice outdoor dining area with some games. Definitely a great stop for a drink or snack while out on a bike ride.

Anytime I'm in Long Beach, I make it a point to grab a breakfast burritos and chill on the sand. I enjoy the views of the waves! Or later in the afternoon grab a burger or pastrami and beer ! Laid back spot everyone is nice and friendly.

It's a great beach food stand. You walk up to order. Very nice staff. The food is really good. We had a breakfast burrito and a chicken Ceasar wrap. Both were great. Parking is plentiful. You sit on the beach in the sand. They have nice tables and chairs right on the sand. Super cool place.

Love stopping by this place along the beach bike path for a drink or coffee or my fave: the tofu Banh Mi. Have also tried the chicken Caesar wrap and it was delicious. Had a chance to meet the owner on a sunny day and chat about bicycles, love her energy :) All in all great food and convenient location on the bike path with a good selection of food and drinks for a great beach day!

This place is a gem! Everything I've tried on their menu so far is amazing, from the pastrami sandwich to their salads and breakfast burritos. The people who work here are so kind and always go above and beyond. They even offer free coffee and 10% off orders to those who participate in our monthly beach cleanup! (Every 4th Saturday of the month from 9:30-10:30am in front of Saltwater Deck) Thank you Amy for supporting us and helping keep our local Junipero Beach clean!

Saltwater deck is an awesome, scenic spot right on the beach. You won't find it by driving on the street but you will stumble upon it if you're walking on the strand. I came here to take part in a beach clean up they sponsor every 4th Saturday of the month. Monica & her partner work with Saltwater Deck to host this event and they provide free coffee after. It's awesome to see a small shop like this sponsor a beach clean up! One thing to note; Tables are in the sand so don't expect anything too fancy here. There'a also not a ton of shade (if any) so wear a hat or bring your shades!

I used to love this place but it's gone downhill. Service is friendly and I appreciate it being on the beach but today I ordered the Vegan burrito and it was inedible. The potatoes were black and burnt and it was awful and the Soyrizo and tofu were way over salted. The same thing happened when I ordered for delivery last time. I was trying to give them another chance today when I was on a bike ride and wish I hadn't. I'm home and tossed the other half and have a horrible stomach ache. Never again. Life is too short for a burrito that tastes like sadness.

Awesome spot right on the beach! Love having my feet in the sand on a beautiful day while sipping a cold beer. Excellent service and atmosphere. Always perfect music to put you in a chill mood. Had the taco box one day and the tacos were delicious. Grass fed beef with onions and cilantro. I personally would've preferred more onions, but I'm just a huge raw onion fan. Salsa was nice and spicy. Great place to sit for lunch or to just grab a beer or mimosa and relax. One of my favorite spots in Long Beach, especially since we are always on our bikes and we can just roll up and sit for a while. Pretty much perfect.

Brought my nephew and neice to get ice cream after our beach walk. Staff is super nice! They also have games and table to see and enjoy the view

Located at Junipero Beach in the City of Long Beach. Super casual beach front dining. I loved the Vegan Breakfast Burrito I ordered. The service is friendly and the food is quality. My burrito contained soyrizo, tofu scramble, potatoes and Vegan cheese wrapped in a wheat tortilla. Really delicious! Will definitely come back. Metered parking in the lot.

Had the sausage, egg, & cheese sandwich this morning. I'm sorry to say I did not enjoy this sandwich. Their bread was like a dry biscuit that was breaking apart. The egg was over cooked. Overall, very dry with not a lot of flavor.

Honestly I really love this place when I come to the beach! Their breakfast burritos are soo good and the adult drinks are good too. I don't usually see the same people working but each person has been so nice. They also have games that you can play on the sand and a seating area on the sand as well.

Great place to get hot food when at the beach. We decided to spend a bit of time at the nearest beach, so drove down to Junipero Beach and set-up our chairs right in the wet sand, taking advantage of low tide. We passed by park building on the way, which houses Saltwater Deck. After reading our books for a bit, we got hungry...so I wandered over to see what their menu was like and place an order. You place and pay for your order through a glass window. Once the food is ready, they will call out your name via a loud intercom, at which point you would pick up your food. They cordoned off a small area in the sand right next to the building, nad set-up plastic tables and chairs so you can eat right there, with your feet in the sand, enjoying the views into DTLA and the ocean. It took a bit of time (15 minutes or so) for our food to be ready. Two entrees were ordered, and both had been expertly packaged in to-go boxes. It was a snap to take the food back to our beach chairs Grass-fed Cheeseburger ($13.45) was ordered with just cheese and lettuce (and secret sauce on the side), and came with kettle chips (came from a bag). It came on a telera roll, and it did taste very fresh...great choice for a burger. The meat was thin, but very tastey...the lettuce was crunchy romaine...an excellent burger. Next time, I might ask for the toppings on the side...guessing the burger really becomes a backyard burger then. We also ordered Beach Chicken Quesadilla ($12.75), and it came as 4 solid pieces, stuffed with white meat chicken and a lot of cheese. I chose to have pepperoncini in it...its juices permeated the entire wrap...I loved the spicy vinegary taste, the wife did not. It was a substantial amount of food, so I ended up saving half of it. It's a really good quesadilla, better base than what most restaurants have. It came with a really good salsa, a bit hot with smokiness from chipotle. Wish I could have added guacamole and crema. Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate this time so we ended up leaving after we ate. As we walked back, we noticed some more people were placing orders and/or waiting. That's a really good sign...even on a cold day like today, the Deck still has customers. Can't wait for the summer...with the better weather, hoping this place gets really hopping (they have various ice cream flavors and sell beer as well). They deserve it.

I wish they were open on Mondays! I LOVE this place. They use quality ingredients. The staff is always kind (for the most part - there's this one girl who has weird energy but with this being LB I assume she may be on shrooms and not in her total right mind because the blank stares are kind of off putting but I digress lmao) In this day and age where most restaurants are using cheap ingredients and charging crazy prices for said cheap ingredient meal Salt Water Deck is a breath of fresh air. Drinks on point. Food on point. If you're a breakfast burrito lover like myself GO HERE NOW. Well not now because they don't open on Mondays *crying emoji* And location??? HELLO! Right on the beach! I love this place so much and have literally driven out the way to get it before heading back to where I live. You won't regret it. You're welcome.

Saltwater Deck is not a beach front restaurant; it's actually on the beach, complete with tables and chairs in the sand, a spectacular ocean view, and a top-notch breakfast burrito (my fav) and very good egg-sausage-cheese sandwich. The standard BB is loaded with flavorful potatoes, crisp bacon, fried eggs, and cheese. Outstanding flavor was punched up by homemade salsa served on the side, but beware - it brings some real heat, so go light if you're sensitive. Try yours with a Guava Mimosa or Sculpin IPA, they both pair well with Deck's BB. Friendly service and can't beat the location. Recommend!

Let's keep yelp real!!! I've enjoyed many a breakfast burrito and black coffee here. One of my favorite spots in all of Long Beach. Honestly, can you beat eating on the beach? The answer is NO! There's seating on the sand, good music playing, and plenty of people watching to do. This review is for the breakfast burrito. It is just a well crafted burrito. A little more expensive than I was used to and takes a little long to make but honestly its worth the price and the time. You can tell they take pride in making each one. Not may places add over medium eggs to a burrito but they do, the potatoes are nicely seasoned, the bacon is flavorful, and the salsa is spicy and rustic. 10/10

Finally Long Beach did it right this time. Having a good snack shack right at the beach. I mean come on good food and good review. Nice outdoor seating. Their logo says it's not fast food, we just do good food fast. And that's the truth. I had a had a chicken quesadilla, worthy of restaurant taste. A bit on a salty side but taste good. They took they're time to prepare it but it's Ok it came out hot and prepared well. Employees are very nice and friendly. No negative to say at this time. Highly recommended.

The best thing about this place is it's location. The burger itself was a below average burger that took almost half an hour to get out. The chips that came as a side were excellent though.

This is definitely a great place to stop when walking the beach! I watched this being built during the pandemic and was so happy it opened and is really good! Visited twice and had the breakfast burrito which was great! Cannot beat the location, on the beach! Last time I was there one of the owners Amy came out and I traduced herself! Will be back again!

This place just opened up right on the beach and it's a great place to get a wrap, sandwich, ice cream, coffee, snack, etc while adventuring around the beach. I went for an afternoon jog and grabbed some food afterward. I got the tuna poke salad, which was delicious and fresh! My dining partner shared a tofu banh mi sandwich, which was so delicious and full of fantastic marinades. I also had a few hot coffees. Service was friendly and you can't beat the beach views. Highly recommended!

While out for our daily walk, my Sista and I heard the bump bump bump of good sound system lol We made our way to the quaint little spot with bright colored chairs in the sand and found a visibly clean and shiny new eatery. The cashier welcomed us with a smile (I don't remember her name). After a moment I ordered the Pastrami Breakfast Sandwich, talk about melt-in-your-mouth good. I actually waited until I got home to eat my sandwich since we had not planned on eating or dining, just walking and exercising but I needed inspiration lol Mom had half my sandwich and she's been bugging me to go back. You can't tell by my picture lol but the sandwich is big enough to share and the telera roll was so soft and delicious! While I was ordering I asked about the roll because I was not familiar with it, they purchase it from a local bakery, I love that! This little spot was a sweet surprise and I'll definitely be back. I recommend this place...

***Vegetarian review*** Insanely good food. I don't normally gravitate towards vegan food or tofu but this place is crazy good. They could have been a mediocre beach vendor but that is not the case. These folks could survive anywhere with this menu. Ive been here three times now. I pretty much just trust whatever is on their menu - even if it's not something I normally like. In my opinion, meat eaters would even enjoy their vegan options.

Heard about this spot from a lot of locals and we finally had the chance to check it out. AMBIANCE: Parking: Street parking above but you can go to the beach parking lot but you will have to spend a few bucks. Seating: Outside seating. Room for usually pairs with about 10 tables but it's a great grab and go to situate in the beach. Feels: Close to the Long Beach Museum, Bixby Park, and basketball court. It's an energetic vibe with workout music and the servers are friendly. Classic comforting food with some healthy and modern twists to them. Great for a quick bite! FOOD: Egg Sandwich w/ Pastrami (Recommend) Recommended by either Monica or Melissa but they suggested getting the egg sandwich w/ pastrami and it helped make it fulfilling. The lettuce and tomatoes helped balance the flavors and the chipotle sauce provided a good kick to it as well. Breakfast Burrito (Recommend) Thick slices of bacon, a good portion of potatoes, eggs, and cheese. It was a hearty bite and the salsa helped it come alive. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Friendly and energetic people. I dig it. TL; DR OVERALL: 4.5 Stars. Awesome! Great selections, reasonable price, and a pleasant experience. If you're in the area, this is a great stop point to people watch from the basketball players, runners, skaters, or just Long Beach itself.

I've walked by the signs for months, watched the IG stories of the prep and was so excited to finally try it!!!! A restaurant on the sand!!!!!! I got the Caesar wrap and my friend got the Buffalo chicken wrap. Both with kettle chips. 1- kettle chips. Perfectly crunchy 2- the wraps felt fresh. The lettuce was crunchy and cold. My Caesar was the vinaigrette kind not creamy and so delicious. Friend loved his Buffalo wrap. 3- the cashier was excited to see us and was so friendly 4- sanitizer at the table 5- packaging is so so sooooo cute Can't wait to go back

If you need a place to eat that is literally on the beach, then this is your spot. You will be sitting on chairs directly in the sand. Beyond that, this place does have pretty good food. It is made to order, so you're not getting something that has been sitting out. As their sign says, "We make good food as fast as we can." For us, this was about 15 minutes. We ordered a Breakfast Burrito and Pastrami Sandwich. The Pastrami Sandwich was doused with a bit too much mustard. My husband who loves mustard even thought it was overpowering. While the Breakfast Burrito was solid, I would have loved a bit more of a wow factor. Special sauce or something could really take it to another level!

Come to Saltwater Deck for a delicious bite and a drink, maybe some ice cream! The folks that work there are super welcoming and friendly and the owners are fantastic and they run a terrific business on the beach! Come for Wellness Wednesdays when they offer gentle yoga on the beach with teacher Yoga Sue. Practice is offered by donation! Stay after practice for happy hour which runs from 3-6pm! There's a playground right next door for the kids!

We were looking for a breakfast spot on the water and Yelp directed us to Saltwater Deck. We were so happy with our breakfast!! The food was fantastic, the service was fast and great, tables are right in the sand and it has amazing views - what more could you ask for? We had the vegan burrito - this is in the top three best breakfast burritos I have ever had, vegan or non-vegan. The bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich was delicious. The iced and hot coffee were both good. I will definitely be back for that burrito!

Great food, on the beach. Amy is amazingly cool. My favorite place on the beach. I travel 6 miles one way to be on the beach and eat here.

I stopped by this place with my wife for lunch Sunday. The foods are so juicy and the staffs are so kind and pleasant. We enjoyed the sunday thanks to the high quality food and service. Tofu Bahn Mi is recommendable if you are looking for healthy but yummy food. Plus, reasonable price than other beach places.

Food definitely overpriced , location obviously great!!! Burger patty was frozen not fresh, sauce not homemade. Should offer fresh ingredients.

OMG. Right on the beach and truly great food. Delicious and friendly. Thumbs way up...will be back soon!

I'd been hearing buzz about this place since they opened, and for good reason - you can't beat the view, being literally picnic tables right on the beach. I've now been there twice - funny enough, both times for a burger, cause sometimes, you just really want to eat a burger right on the beach. Everyone there has been great, food's always come out pretty quickly (exactly as quickly as you'd expect for them to make a burger fresh), and again, I can't stress enough the location. If you need a place to take out-of-towners to really impress them without completely breaking the bank... this is probably the first place that'd come to mind. To be clear, burger-wise, their burger is a great burger, but it's not fancy or elaborate, it's just a well made burger, good meat on a good bun. For the price, I could name multiple better burgers in Long Beach - you could make a similar burger at home easily enough, too, for a lot cheaper. Obviously the difference between Saltwater Deck and any other burger place in Long Beach, though, or for that matter, from your own kitchen, is: nowhere else are you going to get a great burger, made fresh to order, and get to eat it while it's still hot, right on the sand, enjoying the fact that we live right on the coast and we're spoiled by LA weather always being so nice! The burger also comes with a side salad, which again, is also just a side salad. Nothing wrong with it, but nothing fancy, either. I do strongly recommend asking for a side of pickled jalapenos, though - I believe everything's pickled in-house (they're solid), and it definitely spruced up both the burger and, especially, the salad. Overall, it was a totally enjoyable meal, just wouldn't have necessarily been worth the price if it *weren't* right on the water. Anyway, I was here the first time a few months ago, just never got around to reviewing it. A couple weeks ago, though, they posted something that pulled me right back immediately - a post heavily implying that they not only allow, but *encourage* substitutions (the post described a burger with pickled onions and chipotle mayo, which also sounds great), and it gave me a great idea. That Friday, I popped back in and tried it, and I was very right, so allow me to recommend a fantastic *off-menu* burger I tried a couple weeks ago: a banh mi burger. Specifically, the regular grass-fed cheeseburger, no tomato, add pickled jalapenos (obviously), also add pickled carrots and daikon from their vegan banh mi, *now* you've got a burger that can compete with, say, Sideburns. (Though Sideburns definitely wins on drinks - one thing I definitely miss here, though I'm sure it's for legal reasons given the location, is the lack of drink options, by which I mostly mean beer.) It was an extra 75 cents for the addition, which was totally worth it. So now I have a new tied-for-favorite burger concept, a whole range of off-menu burger ideas to try... and *eventually* maybe I'll actually try something else on the menu that isn't a burger, too (their breakfast burritos look pretty legit, especially.) Still wish they could sell craft beer, though.

The burgers are good here. They have a unique blend of flavors. Grass fed beef tasted good. Thousand island sauce, cheese, pickles, lettuce and tomato were good. The bread was different kind of like a dinner roll. The chips are really good and salty. It was almost $50 for 2 burgers with chips and fountain drinks. They also ask for a tip at the end with the iPad payment system. They have seating outside beach front. I ended up bringing my own foldable chairs and a beach umbrella and sitting near the shore and that was nice. Went around noon on a Monday and it wasn't busy. I would recommend trying this spot.
