“This was a gem of a find we had this every day we were on the island. The burgers were so good, and the chili fries were amazing. We knew we found a good spot when the locals we waiting for food here too.”

“These guys made us feel like VIP's. Started at the bar and shifted to a window seat to enjoy dinner. A local recommended the rack of lamb and clam chowder. Both were perfect. Only here for one more night and I am going back for the rib eye. Highly recommend.”

“Great drinks, food & server Diana is the best!”

“My husband and I enjoyed very much our dinner anniversary! Delicious food and wonderful bar service. Very pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff. Our server was AWESOME!! Just love it 😍”

“We got our wiki's whacked!!! Holy cow are the drinks strong with this one. We had a hard time getting in this place. Deceptively large, but the best spots are right by the front door where you can see the bay. We were walking by and just about to leave when the table out front gave us their table and a hat. We were hooked. Then, we proceeded to order drinks and we were sunk. Don't remember much more than a good time. Our fire-filled drinks kept the good times rolling. In other news, we didn't eat anything so the above stars are for the drinks. If you get the signature whicky whacker you get a hat. be careful I would recommend only if you like rum-based drinks.”

“Really awesome dive bar. Be prepared to chat with people, the atmosphere is very social. Locals come in and are very friendly, so are the bartenders. My bartender was very sweet and gave me a lot of recommendations of places to go while I visited the island.”

“Best gluten free sandwich and gluten free cookie I have ever had! Had the cookie first and forgot to take a picture!”

“Some of the best food I have ever had. Clam chowder was creamy and good. Da bomb shrimp had great flavor and was cooked perfect. My wife commented that the sea bass was some of the best fish she had ever had. Our server was very personable and welcoming. Talked a bit and shared his recommendations for each dish to make it the best possible. This play is way better for quality and price than many of the other options on the island!”

“5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Best Cuban sandwich I ever ate & I’ve ate a lot in Miami & the staff is great & the owner Megan is one of the nicest persons I’ve ever meet & all the food is great 💙”

“Best fish & chips we’ve ever had (and we’re from Wisconsin, where we get fish fry every Friday night!) the coleslaw is also amazing and creamy. I’d highly recommend checking this place out!”

“Cheryl is the best! Great Apple fritters and terrific coffee. A great way to begin a day of adventure on Catalina.❤️”

“Wow!!! This was a great experience! I ordered fried rice and chow mein with orange chicken and shrimp. He gave an ENORMOUS amount that lasted me for two meals?
Not only this, but it was some of the best Chinese I’ve ever eaten. I couldn’t stop marveling about how good it was. Absolutely packed with flavor and nothing was dry.
The man behind the counter was very friendly and let me try the spicy orange chicken to see if I would like it.
Well done! Keep up the good work!”

“This is a special place! The owner Caleb Lins has bought and preserved the name of my Grandpa and Grandma who started the Fish Market in 1967 . This iconic spot is known by all locals and regular visitors. My thanks to Caleb is much more than a great place to eat , he has taken care of my island family for years with gestures of generosity on all our comings and goings .
If you haven’t yet , block off time to eat here or support by making it a regular spot .

“The food is delicious! I had the 1/2 rack of ribs that were fall off the bone delish and my husband had the Prime rib sandwich. Soooo good! (& sorry no time to take photos as we dug in and couldn’t stop! Besides my fingers were full of finger licking good sauce!)”

“Slider and empenada? Were very good. Visited on a food tour so can't really say much about the service or atmosphere. But the food that was sampled was really good.”

“Wonderful food and margaritas. I recommend this restaurant if you are visiting Catalina Island.”

“Don Julio Premium Cadillac was delicious! 🙂”

“I tried the house sangria and the tequila shrimp, and both were absolutely amazing! The sangria was perfectly balanced—fruity, refreshing, and not too sweet. The tequila shrimp had incredible flavor, cooked just right with a delicious sauce that I couldn’t get enough of. For me, it was a 10/10! I’ll definitely be coming back for more. Highly recommend!
For me this was my favorite spot to eat in the island 🏝️🌟”
