“I happened to be in Huntington Beach for my dog and wanted to join other veterans and the places that celebrated us. I stumbled on 25 degrees. What a pleasure. The bartender couldn't have been any more of a delight. She even had them make a patty for my service dog. I met an amazing vet Darren and his lady Becca. Hi Becca and Darren. I think we are going to be great boat friends. I have a 17 foot Boston whaler a Montauk fishing boat and and need other fishermen/women to take it out. Looking forward to many days on the water. I will wear their sweatshirt with the pride I have for other veterans. Stop in and say hi. I wish I got the bartenders name. I will tell many. Love you forever!!!! Patriots“

“What a nice breakfast to start my morning but should have more breakfast deals“

“Delicious food and smoothies! I had the chicken salad sandwich and it was the best I’ve found. The honey mustard salad dressing on my green salad was amazing. My husband was actually adding it to his chicken sandwich. We enjoyed the vegetable split pea soup down to the last drop. This lovely little restaurant has a very friendly vibe and we could hear repeat customers engaging the owner in conversation and laughter. We plan to become repeat customers too.“

“I love going to BJ’s, it’s my favorite place to enjoy a good meal. Service was excellent. Food was outstanding and I love the atmosphere here. Everyone is always so engaging and nice.“

“Good food and amazing service!“

“This is a wonderful restaurant with a beautiful outdoor setting that makes breakfast or lunch extra special. You can enjoy the peaceful lake views, watch the birds, and even see the horses while enjoying a well-prepared meal. The location is relaxing and scenic, truly a hidden gem by the water. The food is delicious and nicely presented, and although service can be a bit slow, it gives our family time to unwind and enjoy being together. We love that it’s just a short walk to the library, which makes it a perfect family outing. With great service, plenty of parking, and a gorgeous setting, it’s an ideal spot for a laid-back meal.“

“Good food good service decently priced!!“

“This place is the absolute best spot to relax by the ocean. We sat at a table right on the sand with the perfect view for sunset.

Everything we ordered was fantastic. The nachos were piled high with fresh toppings and made for the perfect meal to share. We also really enjoyed the burgers and sandwiches, which came with a huge portion of fries. It was a perfect afternoon out.“

“Good foo, nice people and the food was made quickly even though they were busy AF.“

“Friendly service, great drinks love the fresh fruit cocktails!“

“Best place on the beach. Great food and rentals for about anything you'd need down on the sand. Bikes and those big four-wheel two driver pedal cars. Souvenirs and clothing also. These burgers were really fresh. Nachos have amazing toppings. Close to volleyball courts and fire pits. Canned beer type beverages and fountain soda is available. Firewood and BBQ lighter fluid sold here.“

“Great sandwiches And wonderful staff“

“Awesome service great time with family“

“Yes very good food and great service“

“so far everything I've had from here has been top notch. 👌🏻 Just tried the hangover burger for the first time today, I highly suggest you try it.👍🏻👍🏻“

“What a pleasant surprise! We stumbled across this place and decided to give it a shot for breakfast this morning... it instantly became our new favorite breakfast spot in OC. It was THAT good. Like, we're already planning to come try lunch here in a few days. The prices were very fair for the portion sizes (the breakfast burrito was huge!). Of course we had to try a couple of street tacos because my husband and I are kind of on a street taco kick right now, and omg. When I say their carne asada is the BEST we've tried so far - and we've tried LOTS - I am 100% serious, it is so freaking delicious! The al pastor too, soooo good. We can't wait to come back and try more! Also wanted to mention the gentleman at the counter who served us, I didn't catch his name, but he was so welcoming and kind. He might have been the owner, not sure. You HAVE to try Roman's if you're in the area... and even if you're not, it's worth going out of the way for. Amazing experience!“

“Every year when I visit my friends in Laguna Woods I try to visit Polly‘s Pies as often as possible - excellent food, great service and a relaxed atmosphere. I’m looking forward to my next visit already now! My favorite is the Avocado toast with egg😋😋😋!“

“Nice place and recommend this anyone.. two thumbs up and five stars.“

“Enjoyed delicious burgers and fries. They really were exceptional, great flavor and we loved the sauces for the fries. Had their brown sugar butter cake ala mode….cleaned the plate. Delicious adult beverages too!“

“We love it 🥰 especially that beef stew on Tuesday! Yum!“

“Great music. Great local in HB.“

“The food and cocktails were great. There was a lot to choose from on the menu. The service was great, the atmosphere was nice and the prices were a good deal. I highly recommend. Definitely a repeat restaurant“

“Delicious food! 10/10 thank y’all!“

“This place is awesome! Beautiful inside and clean. Arcade games for all ages and plenty of space and movable for big parties👍🏼 multiple bathrooms, super long bar, fresh seafood, & thick prime ribs. Walk up counter style ordering. Love it“

“First timer says really good need to go back and try something other than the lobster roll, just for a variety😋“

“This is such a chill, relaxing spot with a beautiful water view! We had just left a super-packed place in Seal Beach with a 30-minute wait, so we were pleasantly surprised to find this place much less crowded and got seated right away. Good beer, great customer service, and a laid-back atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out!“

“Excellent restaurant the wine was amazing in the ceviche so delish thank you we will be back“

“A good friend recommended that I visit the Wet Dog Tavern for the first time, and I was immediately blown away by the interiors. Everything was clean and modern, and I kept telling my friend about how I liked that the front windows were big and unobstructed by signage. I like being able to see inside of a bar from the patio, otherwise I feel disconnected from what's happening inside. Being able to watch the Karaoke going on inside is a huge plus, and I think it's a smart way to attract foot traffic into a bar too. Everyone inside was so happy too!“

“The service was great and the staff was friendly. The band that played was awesome (Muffler). The food was good, and the prices were fair. However the big screen TV's could use an upgrade. It would not be my first choice to go watch a game as the TV's were old and the picture quality was pretty bad. If they upgrade the TV's I would upgrade my rating.“

“Great pizza and easy parking.“

“Great to meet you Mike! Wonderful food & drinks! We will be back!“

“Recently bought the sweatshirt and it is cozy and has some good weight to it. I love having a piece of Dwights to remind me of my beach days and totally worth the purchase. Also bought the teal mug and the color is super rich and happy ❤️“

“Got to meet the one and only Bruno and let me say he makes the experience worthwhile. He has huge muscles, a big smile, and cute little ears.

The pretzel is the way to go for starters it’s HUGE. And then balance it off with a burger and you’re golden.
The TV’s are right by the booths which is so awesome haven’t seen too many places do that.

If you want to meet a gorgeous dog/owner (Bruno) and have an overall great sports bar experience by the beach this is the place!“

“CHIEFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s my bar!!!“

“love the kinda upscale diner vibe. excellent staff, great value, and so easy to get in and out quick!

Kid-friendliness: I used to, and still would, bring my kid here. he's just not a kid any more. . .

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair friendly!“

“Loved my visit to IHOP!! ❤ I got seated immediately when I walked in. Juan was my server very friendly and attentive to my dining experience! He even brewed me fresh coffee! Service was excellent! Food came out hot and right away. My coffee and water were refilled without me asking. I Love ❤ IHOP because I can get breakfast all day and unlimited coffee refills! I got the sirloin tips and eggs and was able to upgrade pancakes to fresh berry crepes which are my favorite 😍. This dish is delicious with lots of protein!“

“Celebrated our anniversary at Henry's while staying at the Hilton. I am not usually one for the hotel restaurants but Henry's went above and beyond our expectations. Live music, incredible food and a relaxed pace of service. The evening musician Emily was so talented. The macaroni and cheese side was so decadent, even the house bread with a house made lemon preserves and butter were scrumptious. My husband said the pork chop was the best he'd ever had. Beautiful presentation of item served. Came back from breakfast Sunday we liked it so much.“

“Great service! Food is good too and I enjoyed the outdoor seating. I highly recommend this place👍🏽“

“visiting the area, always trust Denny's for a good breakfast
Server makes all the difference.
1st visit, Danny was our server.
Can't say enough good things about him, so polite and friendly and checked on us numerous times.
2nd visit, the food was good but the service was sub par.
Not once, except to bring the bill did she show up.
Always need a refill on water but got asked or had a chance to ask.
Danny refilled my water without me even asking.“
