Woodies Café, located on the Municipal Wharf in Santa Cruz, offers a scenic dining experience with views of the Monterey Bay, ocean, sea birds, and sometimes sea lions. The menu features classic coastal fare, including Fish and Chips, Crab Melt, and Clam Chowder. Many customers find the Fish sandwich and calamari very well priced, making it one of the cheapest indoor sit-down meals on the wharf. The café is known for its fast service and beautiful ocean views from the windows. The food receives mixed reviews; while some describe it as "average" and lacking flavor, others enjoy the seafood combo, popcorn shrimp, and the classic clam chowder bread bowl with fresh bread and hot soup. The Woodies classic burger with cheese is considered delicious and juicy, perfect after walking on the wharf. The café is a casual spot with a cool vibe, and staff are typically friendly and helpful. Although prices are a bit high, many find the vibrant atmosphere and stunning vistas worth the cost. Guests do need to get their order from the counter and share a bathroom with another restaurant, which can be a minor inconvenience. Despite some long wait times due to sharing a kitchen, Woodies Café remains a popular destination for both tourists and locals seeking fried fish near the boardwalk.
