3-4 Stars. This is probably more of a place people come for drinks rather than food. Our food (appetizers and main) came out pretty fast. Almost at the exact same time. I wondered why they were apologizing for it coming out fast, until I realized that it's because no one else ordered food. Our waiter asked us about drinks ~3 times and we said just water. They had a large list of margaritas, classics (alcoholic), wine, draft beer, cocktail specialties, bottles & cans (alcoholic). If they had root beer-- I would order it in a heartbeat.
The glass of waters were nice and cold and the waiter came by with a water vase for refills. The tables were clean and the space was warm! I love how they had two sides of seating. Plenty of space to sit. Even at the bar if you'd wish. They have TVs playing sports as well. It is a bit loud for conversations though! The interior was decorated nicely matching the beach theme of surfing, natural woods, and ocean vibes.
Upon looking at Yelp, many people raved about the BUFFALO CAULIFLOWER $16. The menu says it's charred cauliflower and that is always up my alley, as it's my favorite thing to make. Sadly this was not charred and a few of the cauliflower stems were crunchy like it wasn't fully cooked. The cauliflower heads were a sponge that soaked up the vinegary buffalo sauce. Personally, I wasn't a big fan of this like I thought I'd be! That just goes to show how people's tastes will be different -- (good vs not so good). It came with a piece of lettuce (limp) and topped with green onions. 2-3/5.
To eat, I ordered the FISH AND CHIPS $22. It specifically says you can have it with crinkle cut fries or tater tots and if you want, truffle it up for $3. I asked for crinkle cut, but I did NOT say truffle. The first bite, I was thinking to myself, something tastes off. Is it the ketchup or is it my fries? I asked my brother to try the fries for me. He confirmed it was truffle. Yeah, not for me. Since the fish was on top of the fries, it got some of the truffle taste sadly. I'm a truffle hater as you can see. Onto the fish, I almost thought they were mozzarella sticks as they came out. Much different kind of fish and chips than I was expecting. The lemon aioli was nice. I personally wouldn't order this dish again.
My brother had the MCRIDER BURGER $16 and he doubled it up $3. He really enjoyed this! But the bottom bun was soggy and fell apart as he grabbed it for his first few bites. Maybe it would be better to arrange the ingredients-- aka lettuce and special sauce on the top rather than with the bottom bun. He had it with tater tots that were perfectly fried and free of truffle (lucky him). 4.4/5!
They have a nice array of items on their menu, so if I were to come next time-- I'd try something else. It's a close walk from the beach, which is why we chose to eat here! Everyone has different tastes (for food)... Come by and see what you like, maybe even try something off their drink menu.
