Lovely fish, crispy batter and really good chips. Very clean store, friendly staff, and a really interesting menu selection.

Fish and chips were the best. They used battered fish as opposed to breaded, and we loved them.

We’ve been coming to Catalina for vacation on our sailboat for 25 years and we rarely miss Eric’s. My son and I always get the buffalo burger. Slightly gamey and very simple. We like it and you can wash it down with a cold beer. Is it a gourmet burger? No. Will it be the best burger you’ve ever eaten? Unlikely. But the location on the pier is convenient and you can’t ask for a better view. It’s expensive, but it isn’t fast food in a strip mall. Catalina is a small island tourist destination where all the food for the island comes over by sea. Everything on the island is expensive. In my experience, if a reviewer thinks the food is overpriced that tends to color their whole experience. I can’t tell you if the onion rings are frozen or not, but they’re good. I don’t like thick battered onion rings or greasy soggy ones and I’ve never gotten a bad order. My wife gets the tacos and she wouldn’t say they are the best, but she enjoys them. We like Eric’s for its amazing location, simplicity and the vibe! Did I mention the cold beer?!

Maybe the worst hamburger ever made. The frozen onion rings were ok.

I'll start by saying it was my very first time visiting the beautiful Catalina island, and I had a blast there. My family and I wanted a quick bite, so we decided to eat here at Ericks on the pier. I know inflation has kicked in hard, but man, $78 bucks for 2 plain burgers for the kids, a sope plate for the wife, and fish-n-chips for myself was just crazy. however, I gave it the benefit of the doubt due to a good smell coming from the place, but the food was not that great, honestly the fish and chips were good but im the type of person that loves seasoning and that was not there. My wife said the sopes were not amazing, but they were decent. And my kids said their burgers were okay. We all agreed that the chips or fries, whatever you may call them, were way too soggy and not seasoned what so ever.
Prices didn't match from online to the actual menu, so that needs to be updated for sure.
Im not saying that the food was nasty at all it just didn't meet my standards and wasn't worth the money respectfully.

Fish and fries— no chips! Fish was cooked well and tasty. They say your # good luck hearing it… pier is full of people and seats are not very comfortable. Hard wood bar stools. Kids screaming. Very loud. Not a lot of room to eat.

The food and drinks were deceptively disappointing for the price. The menu did not match what was ordered. The customer service was terrible. When I visit Catalina Island again , I’ll keep walking past this place.
Please think carefully before going. This star 🌟 is for comments!

After reading through other reviews I thought the staff was very friendly and kind. They walked us through the menu and they were polite and kind. So maybe it's certain individuals? 🤔 I thought this place was cheaper and had better food than the other restaurants. We did a lot of scouting and even though there was limited seating it was with it. The claim chowder was awesome and was hot and full of flavor. It was a good size portion. My wife loved the fish and chips and she wanted to take home their tarter Sauce! 🤣 My brother got the onion rings, but even though they were good he wished he had gotten the fish and chips! I liked their fries but they were soft. I prefer crunchy fries but I found them comparable to mc Donald's fries. My wife loves the soft fries but I'll let you decide! Overall I would recommend this place, good good, good service. Something to work on; prices and seating availability.

Burgers and onion rings are okay. But they don't do combos no drills basic food. Normally has a line.
