    Food & drinks were solid, but THE VIEWS / VIBES at sunset were what made this place so great! Perfect spot to stop after a day at the beach.

    Crab cake sandwich

    Great restaurant for locals and tourists visiting Sandbridge beach. This restaurant does get crowded because the location is tucked in Sandbridge close to all the homes. Good indoor and outdoor area and during the summertime they do have events each night and many live bands for entertainment. The staff is friendly and welcoming, we came on a weekday and yes, it was busy. Our wait time of 40mins however ended up being about 10mins. We sat down and looked at the menu, lots to choose from however the day we went their pizza oven was broken. No worries. We ordered something else. To start we got the calamari and broccoli. Both very good apps then for dinner my hubs got the crab cake sandwich and I got the shrimp tacos. The shrimp tacos were super good! I would definitely go back again for them. It was filled generously and it was perfectly fried and seasoned. Our server was really friendly and attentive. She made sure to check on us often. Make sure you try this restaurant and be sure to get the shrimp tacos! You will thank me later!

    Our AirBnb host highly recommended this local spot. He raved about the fish tacos and the beautiful sunset. My Mr and I were sold that on our last day, we had to pay them a visit. There is a coffee shop inside. We wanted to sit out on the patio since the weather was perfect and I wanted to take pictures of the sunset. It was steady so we were seated right away. Our server was Nova. Amazing server. Very laid back and attentive. Both the drink and food menus are simple. Not huge but enough for you to make a quick decision. They do have appetizers, burgers, seafood, pizza, entrees, salad and dessert. Our order for the night: New Realm Hazy Like a Fox IPA Relax Riesling She Fries Ca'Donini Sauvignon blanc O'Connor Brewing Proper Lager Red Snapper (grilled and fish of the day) with broccoli and hollandaise sauce Mahi tacos with veggies We got our she fries right away. Wow! Amazing! Like eating poutine! The crab soup on top was super thick and creamy. Had great flavor. Our dinners were delish as well. My Mr enjoyed his tacos and the red snapper was grilled just right. Loved the broccoli and the Boursin sauce that came with it. At the end, I was able to get that sunset shot. We sat on the lounge chairs, had a drink and watch the sun go down. Very relaxing. On occasion they do have live bands and they have cornhole if you want to play. Overall, this was a great experience. What a way to end our last day. Definitely coming back!

    Fish tacos (I asked for fried fish instead of grilled). It was ok, not the best and I wouldn't recommend the mashed potatoes

    This is a nice spot, our second time coming here the staff were super accommodating and friendly. The food is ok but we didn't mind coming since it was close to our Airbnb and we didn't need to drive. The view during sunset is gorgeous. Tip: if you are coming for dinner I would recommend putting your name in then walking the beach for a bit before your table is ready. We went on a Friday and Saturday night and had to wait about an hour for a table each time.

    Great drinks and ambience. The bar tender was really helpful and specialty drinks were all great. It looks like they have a lot of great weeknight specials like karaoke and live music too. Check it out before sunset you won't be disappointed!

    She crab fries... Like a seafood take on poutine.

    My lady and I were looking for a spot nearby the beach for dinner with a great outdoor view and we were told of this place by the owner of our Air BNB. It was only a few minutes away which made it even better. Plus, why not have dinner near the beach that you're staying on? My lady and I got there around 6pm or so. They were a bit busy but we were still sat right away by a very friendly hostess. The place itself feels a little divey but is also open and welcoming. We sat outside in a very nice spot with a view of the setting sun. Both their food and drinks menus aren't huge but have a variety of great chioces. Our server, Nova, was absolutely great. Very friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. My lady and I started off with a couple drinks, a Relax Riesling for her and New Realm Hazy Like a Fox IPA for me. We browsed the menu and were very intrigued by the She Fries, fries topped with their homemade She Crab soup... So we ordered some, and they were amazing! It was like a seafood take on poutine. The soup was rich like a chowder and had loads a big crab meat chunks. We tore it up! As for our main courses, my lady got the red snapper (fish of the day) grilled with steamed broccoli, and I got the ahi tacos with green beans. Of course we ordered more drinks! An O'Connor Proper Lager for me and a Ca'Donini Sauvignon blanc for her. Her fish was HUGE! Too much for her to finish. My tacos were very delicious and tasted immensely fresh. All of it was excellent! After we were done and VERY full, we ordered one more round of drinks, and sat nearby the water to watch the sunset. The view was almost perfect. We definitely enjoyed it and got some great pictures. On the way out, they had a bunch of shirts and hats for sale, so I scored myself a shirt with the place's logo on the front and back. This is one awesome local spot for good eats. Excellent service, very scenic location, tasty libations, and very fresh seafood. I highly recommend the she crab fries and ahi tacos. But whatever you decide to order, you're very likely going to enjoy it. Eat like a local!

    A little gem hidden in the VB area! I was staying in Sandbridge for the week and it wasn't my first time, however, I never heard of this place! It's a little water-view spot with occasional live music, karaoke, and other fun themed nights for locals and vacationers alike. The staff was friendly and kind, and the food was good enough to return! I got a cesar salad and their new mushroom pasta with blackened chicken. The salad was excellent, I asked for it chopped but they were unsure what I meant, that's ok! The pasta had great flavor but was sitting in a pool of orange grease/oil and was absolutely overloaded with salt. That made it quite difficult to eat BUT the dish has so so much potential!!! We will be returning when we head back to VB next summer!

    Calamari app...really good
    Tito K.

    Baja has lots of good qualities. For starters, it was the only place that was walking distance from Sanctuary at False Cape. Next, it has a great space indoor and outdoor. Third, it is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The space is awesome. We went during Covid restrictions, so a lot of the outdoor stuff, live music, corn hole, ect. Were all shut down. We still found the space to be nice and "beachy." Baja has there own coffee company so grab a cup and some breakfast items. For lunch and dinner the menu becomes seafood/american style. The coffee we had was good, they have a medium and dark roast options. For dinner, I had Mahi tacos, which were bland and I would not recommend. My mother in law had pecan crusted shrimp which were really good. We started with calamari, which was fantastic.

The staff and even some fellow customers were very accommodating to my friends to help them get seated. Other customers were excited to let my friends know that it is worth the trip. The trip was two+ hours one way. My fried oysters, cheese chive potatoes, asparagus, and crab cake were superb. The cheese samplers were on point. My one friend could not have the nuts and my other friend had some different food allergy that I don't remember- so I had to eat all three samplers because fingers crossed I have no food allergies and I like to minimize food waste as part of being more sustainable and my own culture. I seem to have missed a picture of the Jellyfish Sting drink I had. It was flavorful enough and I liked the rose syrup in particular. The blueberry lemonade cocktail was sweet like I like my drinks. The key lime has a cashew crust that sounds like it compliments the key line well and I had it the last time and loved it. I am not sure if they always use cashew crust. My guess would be yes. Unfortunately one of my friends is allergic to nuts and he could not have it. I believe all the food is made from scratch and it certainly tastes that way. I think the quality prepared seafood and the making from scratch contribute to the limited opening hours of this restaurant. If you are in the area, a must visit if you like seafood. 5/25/26: I forgot to add that I was impressed that they added a mocktail menu and vegan chicken as an option. I think that they should have a vegan seafood option as well being a top notch seafood place in keeping up w the present times for what people would like for options within reason.

Each table gets complimentary sweet potato biscuits. They don't tell you this so when you order a half dozen biscuits you'll be surprised when you get so many of them. Then they arrive undercooked, looking like someone had a vendetta against following a recipe. They looked and tasted like a mushy, undercooked cookie. Fried shrimp was mostly bread and tough. Crab legs were overcooked and dry. Sweet potato fries were mushy, like they were frozen fries that were heated and then reheated in the microwave after sitting out. Mashed potatoes were somehow crunchy like it was instant mix that wasn't mixed properly. I don't understand how there was such a long line for this place when there are other greater restaurants in VB.
