I made a special request to add coleslaw on top, and every bite was outstanding. The salmon was perfectly cooked with just the right amount of Cajun seasoning, and the creamy slaw added a cool, crisp contrast that made the sandwich unforgettable. The wide-cut fries were hot, golden, and perfectly crisp. The restaurant has a casual beach-town vibe with nautical décor, wood accents, and a cozy dining room. Service was friendly and efficient. If you're in Solana Beach and looking for a delicious lunch with easy parking and a laid-back coastal feel, this place is absolutely worth the stop.

The bbq ribs were fall off the bone tender! I got it with fries but it usually comes with beans and coleslaw. Fries were so good and crispy! They have like 10 different sauces and dry rubs for the ribs. I got the old bay and buffalo. The wings were crispy and pretty big. I'll definitely be back to hang out and check out more dishes!

We got there just before the 6 PM cutoff, and our server was kind enough to still honor the happy hour pricing for us, which was much appreciated. They have a solid happy hour menu with $2 off draft beers, $6 tequila and Fireball shots, $9 wines, and taco specials for around $7-8. We ended up trying the tacos, but they were honestly pretty average and nothing particularly memorable. The ambiance was nice, and it's always enjoyable spending time in the Solana Beach area near Fletcher Cove. Parking was easy with a dedicated lot, and the drinks were solid. Overall, a good place to grab a drink during happy hour and hang out with friends. The food didn't really stand out, but the friendly service, decent drinks, and relaxed atmosphere made for a pleasant evening.

We tried different marinades and various fish, but my hands-down favorites were the lobster tacos (lemon butter) and the red snapper (fish shop) tacos. We also ordered large sides. They do NOT skimp out on these. Massive onions rings and a large pile of fries. All were delicious! The kids liked their grilled cheese sandwiches. "Best grilled cheese besides the ones we make at home." Only downside on the food was the clam chowder. Good flavor but hardly any clams (if any). I wouldn't get that again, but everything else was phenomenal. I almost rated this down to a 4 because of this (and a small order mishap), but honestly, this place is worth a solid 5 based on the overall food, vibes, and staff. This place's vibes are super chill. You can either sit inside or out. Very clean all around! Well-maintained restrooms and tables too. Solid drink options - both alcoholic and non-alcoholic as well! Would definitely go back!

It's a great spot for families, with plenty of tables and 2 televisions near the bar to watch the WORLD CUP 2026. The food is priced high for a small grilled salmon with 4 asparagus it was $50 and more of a lunch portion. They have sea bass, clam chowder and a fully stocked bar. Our waiter was nice and friendly but it was slow and we still had to wait for 45 minutes for 4 entrees. I'd still comeback again just wish the food was made faster. Maybe they're a bit understaffed but it was worth going in a Sunday. It's walking distance to Del Mar heights and the Del Mar beach, Del Mar fair was open as well. I had the grilled salmon along with squash but added asparagus since it was a small amount for a dinner priced meal at a restaurant

This time we wanted to try this new to us place, we were so happy to take rideshare to this location as parking is very limited with severely road work happening all around. This restaurant gives a beachy hole in the wall relaxing vibe which we love!! Menu was simple quite a few options, we went for their fish tacos and fish n chips. Between the 4 of us we shared the items to see if they are good before ordering more, the short version of the story is that the food was very good, not dry or fishy smell, taste fresh, succulent piece if fish fillers on the taco, the fish n chips batter was a bit on the thick side but still very tasty. Clam chowder was on point, creamy and not a cream breaking point. We would love going back again once all the road work are done. Service is quick and prompt, no frills. It is a hole in a wall place so expect a bit of self service like getting water or napkins. Overall a solid 5 stars a must try if you like fish tacos and fish n chips.

Ambience- the location speaks for itself There is beauty everywhere How can you not be in a good mood sitting here in this restaurant? We sat outside by the water fountain/pond I will say now it would have been great to have music but I don't recall hearing any! Food we started with the coconut shrimp I will say these were a little over done to my liking But the sauce and mixture with the coconut was done nicely without being overpowering. Salads we had the Caesar salad- real dressing so heads up if you prefer bottle version. Nice croutons not big portions. Dinner: my husband as always did the filet with jumbo shrimp, garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus and I ordered the Wagu burger. For the record if you go back into any and most of my reviews I order fish and especially on the water in San Diego but I couldn't help but notice the guys burger next to me and well I ordered it. I am so happy I did too!!! So it was one of the best damn burgers I have had in a long long time! Geez was it good My husband's filet was cooked perfectly he loved that it wasn't tiny! The Mashed potatoes seasoned and flavorful! Dessert: I did a crème brûlée- it was good but if I come back it won't be for the crème brûlée! It will be for that beautiful, burger!!! Well done Brigantine!

We then enjoyed the Hokey Pokey, Braised Short Ribs, a Non Traditional Caesar Salad, and my daughter was happy they offered vegan choices. The salad was light and the produce tasted great especially the tomatoes. The Hokey Pokey and the Braised Short Ribs were just ok for us. We have had better. I was kinda surprised that the poke did not taste more fresh. We easily finished up right before showtime and were one of the first patrons let into the Belly Up. Service was quick and helpful. Again parking in this area can be very challenging, but eventually you will find a space. Fun Fact: The art posters hung up are custom wall to wall Scrojo concert posters.

They honored our request when we arrived to be by a window to be able to enjoy the view although it was already getting dark by that point, so it wasn't bright enough to really enjoy it but I'm sure it is a gorgeous location if we had been able to get in a little earlier! We had the grilled prawns appetizer which was so delicious but which also then surprised me with how bad my meal was after having such a great app. My husband's burger was fine and he enjoyed it, but the pan roasted chicken I ordered was just very bland. I'm not very picky but there was no seasoning on it at all, just a plain pan sauce made from the juices of very plain chicken. It was originally plated nicely before I took the photo I included, but I had cut into it to make sure it was cooked thoroughly before I tried it since it was very thick and it was cooked fine, just not seasoned with anything that I could taste or see visually. I had to ask for salt and pepper to add to it and our waitress never came to ask how our food was once we got it, so I had to wait for someone else passing by to ask for that. It wasn't too bad to eat but just not very enjoyable so I didn't eat most of it, and when our waitress came back to finally give us our check and I declined a to-go box for it she still never asked how everything was, so we didn't complain or bring it up. For such a good location and how good the app was, I would still recommend them just maybe not that dish!
