    Great fresh fish selection, they fry and season to your taste. They accept phone orders,…read more professional and friendly staff

    I'm really starting to have mixed feelings about this place. I've been coming here for about two…read moreyears now since it's right down the street from my job at SoFi Stadium. First off, parking is rough. The restaurant is located in a small shopping center with several other businesses sharing the same lot, so finding a space can be a challenge. Sometimes it's easier to park down the street and walk over. This also isn't really a sit-down-and-enjoy-your-meal kind of place. It's more of a grab-your-food-and-go spot. The reason I'm starting to feel differently is because the last few visits haven't been as consistent as they used to be. I remember seeing the owner around much more often, and the food quality seemed better. Lately, the fries have been darker, the fish portions sometimes feel a little small for the price, and it occasionally seems like the frying oil isn't being changed as often as it should be. The service is okay, but it's not always the friendliest. One thing I've noticed is that when I ask for the fresh house-made hot sauce instead of the prepackaged packets, it sometimes feels like I'm inconveniencing the staff, especially one guy in particular. Maybe that's not the intention, but it can come across that way. That said, I keep coming back for a reason. The fish still has great flavor, and I enjoy several of the sides. The mac and cheese is probably my favorite, the collard greens are solid, and the fries are satisfying when they're fresh. I'm hoping this place can get back to the consistency that made me a regular in the first place.

    This Wild Fork is in Manhattan Beach and it is a great one. Parking is so easy and free. The prices…read moreare very reasonable and the sizes they sell in are great for use right away (unless you get a Cowboy Steak and that will feed two for two nights. All of their food is fresh frozen and comes from everywhere. We love their PICANHA, Brazilian Churrasco BBQ Rodizio style steak, but our favorite and the dogs favorite is their venison. We only feed our dogs fresh food, cooked daily and all of it is now from Wild Fork. They are picky and love to eat the bison and venison. They also have frozen items in small packs for two. We love their crab cakes and their lobster cakes. They have bread, we love their Parker Rolls. Their service is usually okay here, but don't leave something in the bottom of my cart and then, honest me, I tell them after all is bagged and they make me wait in line. That was bad form. It is clear I am disabled and making me wait and wait is just not okay. This place is small, but very clean.

My husband and I find ourselves purchasing from Wild Fork quite often so that we are saving money on smaller portions of foods that the two of us enjoy. This is better for us instead of the need to buy "family packs" of meat that would generally be too hard for us to finish. Yes, all items at Wild Fork are meant to be purchased frozen and then defrosted for when you're ready to cook. All manors of food are available, not just meats, lending a hand to being a one-stop-shop for your needs. From meats to breads to veggies, Wild Fork has it all. The staff at the Manhattan Beach location has always been beyond kind and very helpful. They've even been helpful with occasionally recommending recipes for items we are thinking of purchasing. The store has an overall laid-back feeling to it, almost as if the most chilled out grocery store that you could imagine.
