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.

Ordered the pastrami sandwich, and as you can see from the photo... I didn't make it very far before digging in. It was that good. The pastrami was rich and savory, piled generously, with melted cheese and great flavor in every bite. Service was quick and efficient (perfect because I came in hungry), and everything came out fresh. The ambiance is simple but comfortable--easy place to sit back and enjoy a solid meal. And once again, I found myself eyeing the wine selections on the way out... I'll definitely be back.

I recommend a visit at least.

It's unexpectedly large for a place by the shore, and I was thrilled because even though I checked Yelp and Google, I couldn't find much info. They're open super early and stay open late, and it's just such a gem especially since that area tends to shift toward restaurants or other businesses. This neighborhood really needed a good grocery store, and they have everything: fresh meat, drinks, snacks, fruits just like a full local grocery. The staff was really nice and laid-back, though the only downside is that parking is super limited and intersection it's tough to get in and out since it's near a small with a red light. Still, I'm really glad it's there, and I want to give a big shout-out to the local folks to support this place. The prices are really reasonable, and we need to keep these local businesses thriving. they're the heart of the community. I gave them five stars. I just hope they can clean it up a bit inside, maybe freshen up the shelves or ceiling. But overall, I'm so happy it's here, and we need more of these places in our city.

I've been dining here for eight years, and it has never disappointed. There are so many reasons I…read morekeep coming back. First, the food. It's consistently delicious every single time. My personal favorites are the lobster mac 'n' cheese, mussels, fish and chips, and the lobster bisque. Everything is flavorful, fresh, and prepared with care. Second, the bar. The drinks are perfectly balanced--strong enough to enjoy, but never overpowering. There's nothing worse than ordering a cocktail that tastes like juice with zero kick. That definitely doesn't happen here. The El Chapo margarita (along with many others I've tried) will have you feeling warm and fuzzy after the first sip! The location is another huge plus. If you enjoy people-watching, this is the spot. You get a perfect view of all the action, which makes the experience even more fun. Most importantly, the staff. Joe, Nicole, and (I believe his name is El D) El Dorado are fantastic. They're friendly, personable, attentive, and always seem to anticipate what you need before you even ask. They offer great suggestions and are wonderful conversationalists. They truly make you feel welcome, and if they have a moment, they'll happily stop and chat. I also want to give a special shoutout to Joe, the manager. I was organizing an event for my women's group--about 20 guests--and needed a venue that could work within a firm budget. When I called, Joe didn't hesitate to accommodate us. Many other South Bay locations either didn't respond or were outrageously expensive. This was seamless from start to finish. Joe worked with me to select the appetizers and music, ensured we always had water refilled and glasses topped off, and made sure every detail was handled. We had plenty of wine and appetizers, and the front area was reserved just for our group. The event was wonderful, and Joe's kindness and professionalism made it all so easy. Everyone loved Joe! Highly recommend Playa Hermosa--this place truly is a gem.

Maybe I need to try other dishes on the menu as this was a limited time option that perhaps needs a little more work/feedback! A positive was very friendly staff and good service!

French fries, were a must crispy tasty fries did not disappoint. Spanish octopus, cooked to perfection- lots of interesting flavors and textures we enjoyed. Lastly we shared the tacos (1 cod 1 shrimp), tasty fat tacos. Accompanied with fresh chips and the guac and salsa that was tasty. What really set it for us, was while we were wrapping up the meal. Me and fiancé were toasting to my late dad, today was his birthday. Well we asked for the check and planned to skip dessert. Well before we left our server had packed us the key lime pie to take home..just because. God lord, the timing of toasting my dad, and the generosity had me literally fighting tears.

One subtle thing, when trying the soup bar, maybe ask employees how fresh they are. I recently brought home a soup that I've liked in the past, but today it tasted old and smelled off. But overall love this place.
