    Barbary Coast Restaurant
    Zorina A.

    Came here on Memorial Day weekend. Luckily we came early before it got super busy. Ordered the breakfast burrito with sausage and sausage and egg sandwich. It was average, nothing spectacular. Price was descent for the boardwalk, about $12 for both. Masks are still required which I don't mind. Hand sanitizer is readily available and social distancing is enforced but obviously not followed by everyone. Staff wear gloves and masks, friendly also.

    Itsy Bitsy found her chicken strips!

    It's Boardwalk fare, chicken strips, fries and pork buns that were more mystery meat than not. Washed it down with a Boardwalk Blonde( how do you pass THAT UP?)

    Chicken strips with fries and ordered a burger completely unhappy with the fact that I ordered my food about 10 minutes to get it and once I received it when my buzzer went off I went up there within about 30 seconds and my food was extremely cold. My chicken strips weren't even warm even in the middle, so what the hell were they doing this whole time, oh well next time I'll pay attention to my app reviews if I would've noticed I had 2 1/2 stars as of today I probably would've went somewhere else.

    I just needed milk for the boy. The guy wasn't friendly but I did notice the array of healthy items in the cold case: salads, Naked Juice, oatmeal. and the likes. For a healthier alternative on The Boardwalk, Barbary was great!

    Located On the Colonnade. Open early for breakfast with a full espresso bar. Lunch and dinner menu includes deli sandwiches, salads, turkey legs, cheeseburgers, corn dogs, garlic fries, fruit cups, ice cream, sundaes and more! Grab a local craft beer while you're here! Delicious!!!!!

    Garlic fries

    Came here for lunch after visiting Santa Cruz beach. This restaurant is the only place that is not within the amusement park. It's sort of set off to the side with the gift shop. We got the buccaneer combo with garlic fries and the Greek salad. The burger wasn't like red robin or anything, but it wasn't fast food either. It was large, and juicy. The patty was small but the large onion rings made up for it. There's bacon and a slice of tomato. All around awesome burger. The salad was good and fresh. They give you plenty of balsamic vinegar. I only used about 1/2. The chicken was well grilled and seasoned. The fries were garlicky and crispy. A regular sized lemonade is pretty big. Overall it was a good lunch.

    Turkey leg once every four months is all I get. Everything else is the same as anywhere but at three times the price. BC gouges.

    The breakfast burrito was actually really good. Or maybe I was just really hungry? We had to wait a really long time for our food though.

I was there for a birthday, and Oblo surprised even me with their stellar service when they marched a line of smiling staff members out with a slice of beautiful cheesecake over a zigzag of blueberry compote and sung happy birthday in such a joyful way that the other customers joined along. It was definitely special. We had great service all night -- from the first person we saw to the last. Every dish was delicious!

Let me tell ya, this is one of the best burgers I've had in a hot minute. I got the Western Burger, which had chilli w/ beans, jalapeños, and barbecue sauce. This burger was perfect in basically every way. The chili was incredibly rich and savory, the jalapeños added a nice crunch and acidity, and the barbecue sauce added some sweetness. So many flavors at once that worked so well. It was well worth the mess. My wife got the Bacon Cheeseburger with a 1/3 lb patty. I really appreciated how many cheese options they had. The veggies were fresh and abundant. And that bacon was perfection. Crisp, but still had a good chew, and was thick. This was a classic done right. The fries were also fantastic. Nice and crisp but fluffy on the inside. And the portions were very generous. The place overall just feels like exactly what you want from a local burger shop. A charming burger sculpture on the roof, very friendly staff, ton of outdoor seating. If you've heard about or have been meaning to come to this place, it's well worth the hype.

If you are not a big eater I suggest a single patty! Definitely a place to try if you need a good classic burger that is fresh.

They rebranded to…read moreWest End Izakaya and now serve Asian-inspired dishes, rather than their previous American farm-to-table menu. Honestly, I can't say this change is an improvement. My grandma and I visited around dinner on a Saturday and were seated on the (dog-friendly) patio. They did have propane heaters, but not enough of them, so it was quite chilly. For drinks, we both got hot Green Tea to warm up, which was very standard - served in pre-packed tea bags. For food, we ordered the Okonomiyaki Fries and Maitake Mushroom Flatbread to share. The Okonomiyaki Fries were pretty good and I enjoyed all the toppings, especially the spicy pink mayo. I usually prefer thinner fries, but I liked the crispy texture. However, the Maitake Mushroom Flatbread was a bit disappointing. There just wasn't enough bechamel and mozzarella on top and the flavor somewhat bland. Service was friendly, but I miss their old menu offerings, like the Heirloom Tomato Flatbread. Not a huge fan of the rebrand!
