    Pricing was fair and the food came out fast. Food wasn't great though. Taquitos were so crunchy they were hard to eat and they were dry. Chicken inside was tasty. Toppings were not great.

    I needed a quick bite close to the Catalina Island harbor in Avalon. The food was served quickly and the employee was friendly enough. The food stand has some seating but during peak meal times, you might need to find seating on the pier. I was sadly disappointed with the portion size considering the cost of the hamburger.The bun was also served room temperature, it'd probably taste better if it was grilled or warmed up. If I'm ever in the area, I'd probably skip this place.

    Went to Eric's on the pier arrive five minutes before they open three people working not one acknowledge us came back five minutes later ordered our food. They all acted like we were bothering them their tourists here to give them money and they act like we're second to nothing will definitely not come back here ever again because the service is terrible attitudes do not belong in this establishment. A one star only for the ambience.

    Dined: 3/17/26 We came to Catalina on the Royal Caribbean Navigator of the Seas. After walking up and down Main Street and checking out all the restaurants, we decided on Eric's based on a local's recommendation... Eric's is great on the pier place for tacos and beer (plus many other burgers, fries and other items). Ordering was easy and the food came out fast. It is a very relaxed atmosphere with high top seating. We ordered their 1 shrimp taco and 2 fish tacos à la carte. You can order the tacos w/ cheese, cabbage and salsa. The shrimp tacos were fried, juicy and very tasty. The fish tacos come either grilled or fried. I ordered fried and it was moist and flavorful. Price is very affordable vs some of the other tourist traps on the Main Street.

    This is the location for watching people and being part of the pier scene. It is located at the intersection of the Green Pier and the boardwalk, and there really isn't any separation from those on the pier. All the dining is outdoors and there is minimal shade: so plan accordingly. As you can see from my pic, it was a slow time (I've seen this place packed) and our service was quick. We had a beer and a fish taco, see my pics. The beer was cold - it doesn't get any better than that. As you can see from my fish taco pic, there's a lot of good stuff here. The veggies were fresh and crisp. The fish was Tilapia. It was thin, but there was enough quantity. It was cooked well and flavorful. In spite of it being thin, it was still flaky. Also it was grilled, and not breaded or fried. The crème sauce was very, very mild which added some moisture to the tortilla. You'll need to add sauce to suit your tastes. It's an interesting place to watch the scene, and be part of this scene.

    DEVOURED MY FOOD AS YOU CAN SEE! It's sooo good.

    Thought it wouldn't be good given the reviews but it's sooooo good. Someone said the fish sticks were greasy but ours came out amazingly. Also it's fast food? And they're dipped in oil to get fried like ??? Did you expect the healthiest food? It was really full but the line moved fast. There's only one cashier too and she's amazing. There's amazing music. It's also really fresh cause it's near the pier/ocean with good shade and seats. Ordered breakfast burrito, fish and chips , chili cheese fries and chicken a fries. Total was about 53/54$

    First time here, but we went with this place since it was least busy and more of a takeout style (quicker). The other eateries were more of a sit-down. We ordered the hamburger, onion rings, french fries, burrito, clam chowder, and chicken & carne asada quesadillas. Everything was OK, but nothing spectacular. It was convenient. The chicken quesadilla was a bit dry, and the carne asada one was better. Service was good though. There are some seats at the counter and around if you'd like to say and it.

It's cool it being your own card games too. On the weekends I've caught some good live music, too! Hungry? They have all beef hot dogs, pretzel with beer cheese, polish sausages, pickled eggs, etc. Heatlamps and some fire pit tables are lit a night to keep you warm but keep in mind it's outside to check the weather and dress accordingly. I've been to Catalina solo, traveling alone as a woman I'm happy to report: I felt very safe and comfortable in the Biergarten. Bathrooms are in the back, in some of those fancy portable toilets (including a handicap ramped stall), so you don't have the leave the Gartën for anything. The owner Michael is so friendly and will remember the regulars from the main land (thanks for calling me a Legend haha), and shout out to Jack who works there too for his fun and kind energy.

The person who answered the phone said I can call back tomorrow to try and talk to a manager. I called back to get the managers contact so I will contact her but this is the worst service ever.

Not only do they have many unique glizzies, but they also offer burgers. I've tried the following: - House Dog, which is their classic glizzy that comes with grilled veggies, house spread, mayo, mustard ketchup, and bacon bits. - Dirty Chili Dog, which comes with 100% premium all beef Nathan's 5/1 dog wrapped in center-cut bacon, chorizo chili, cheddar sauce, onion, cilantro, chipotle aioli, and bacon bits. - Elote Dog, which also comes with Nathan's 5/1 dog wrapped in center-cut bacon, corn, lime mayo, cotija cheese, chili powder, cilantro, and bacon bits. -Dirty Fries, which comes with chili-lime seasoning served with spicy ketchup. - Dirty Esquite, which is their version of the traditional Mexican street corn (elote). This side dish has lime mayo, cotija cheese, chili powder, cilantro, and bacon bits. - Single (burger), which has a single patty, American cheese, and caramelized onions on a brioche bun. I really like all of their street corn items: the Dirty Esquite and the Elote Dog. The House Dog and Dirty Chili Dog are your classic flavors, and you can't go wrong with either. Next time I want to try the LA Cheesesteak Dog and the DUI Dog, which in addition to the usual Nathan's 5/1 dog, center-cut bacon, bacon bits, it also comes with pastrami, carne asada, cheddar cheese, chipotle aioli, and cilantro.

Also, my boyfriend had his eye on the Chili Dog all day to which they did not have any more chili when we arrived, which was also a bummer. Besides that, the food was very good. Definitely worth getting the lobster roll bun; little crispy outside and fluffy inside. The Elote dog was delicious with the lime on top! The hot dog was also bacon wrapped which I had no idea. So flavorful and yummy. The garlic fries tasted exactly like Dodger Stadium which felt like I was transported back in this very LA representative establishment. The aioli that came with the garlic fries were yummy. The boyfriend enjoyed his House Dog; just wished that there was more bacon bits on top! The hot wings were HOT and fresh out of the fryer and steaming! The were very meaty and filling, paired perfectly with the cool ranch. We were too full for dessert but the dipped cheesecakes looked VERY good; hopefully we can come back to try!
