Crunchy chicken Sammie
Tarry B.

The food was amazing. The place is smaller which I loved. Outdoor and indoor seating. Service was spectacular. Highly recommend the chicken Sammie. Hubby had the hot pie- which had the pie on top but he said it was amazing!!!

Grilled Fish Tacos
Audra N.

We just missed happy hour but that was ok. We enjoyed the food and drinks, the service was great and the atmosphere was perfect for having a casual dinner near the beach watching the dodger game. Prices are reasonable. Made a Rez in advance so no wait time. 100% would go back!

Fried Crispy Chicken Sandwich
Chong K.

Ordered a few things along with the fried chicken sandwich--the outside was completely burned. Called them, they offered to replace it, and had us drive back only to be met with another disappointment. The 'new' chicken sandwich looked the SAME? My husband confronted the manager/servers about it, only to be told all of their fried chicken sandwiches look like that. Totally lied in his face. Oil was probably old. Paid $90. NOT worth it for food or service.

my friends and i were on the hunt for the best place to have bottomless mimosas. to no surprise, this place was definitely it! the juice to champagne ratio was perfect. we ordered a variety of food items, definitely hard to say which one was my favorite as they were all so good. i do recommend the sancho breakfast burrito WET. the sauce and cheese they add on top just adds so much flavor and definitely keeps the dryness away. staff was incredibly nice and were on it with refilling the mimosas! the only downside was that in the beginning when it came to taking our orders, we had to wait like 25 minutes when it wasn't even that busy. waiting for our food also took a long time when tables that were sat after us got their service and food quickly before us.

Really great food!! I got the Rockefeller burger and it was honestly the best I've had in a while. My friend got the The steak salad and fish and chips. Both looked great! Overall the service was good but a little slow for it being so not busy. The place is clean and has a nice classy vibe yet with modest prices. Would definitely return!!

Always a great choice for brunch, lunch or dinner and cocktails. We have been to many different locations and this Manhattan Beach restaurant is small but nice enough. The dinning room has some comfortable seating. There are a few tables outside on the sidewalk. The bar is very tiny, and there is only one restroom available for customers. There is adequate street parking and public parking close by. The menu is extensive. The wait staff is friendly and the food choices, quality and presentation are first rate. Those of us who wanted brunch enjoyed the Chilaquiles, Sancho Breakfast Burrito, and Two Eggs Any Style with bacon. The Chilaquiles was good but nothing special. The Sancho breakfast burrito is filled with braised short rib, over-easy eggs, applewood bacon, pepper jack cheese, guacamole, sriracha, and hashbrowns. It is a nice change of pace for a breakfast burrito. We also had the consistently yummy sweet potato bombs which have a unique curry flavor and a fan favorite Rocke salad which is highlighted with strawberries, gorgonzola and toasted almonds. They do offer bottomless mimosas, and have a full cocktail and espresso bar.

Parking available in the back of the buildings, so look for that before paying to park. Seating on the sidewalk, indoor, booth space. Burger was cooked to my specifications, the FF are not included and are definitely not worth the price.

Truffle Macaroni and Cheese
Paul S.

I'll keep this review short and sweet, the food and service here was amazing! My wife and I enjoyed the food and appreciated the service we received here. Good thing we don't live too far away from here as we'll definitely stop by more often.

Burger of the month  Village Wings Zucchini Fries
Jose R.

Stopped by this place on a Tuesday to try their 2$ burger special. Burger was good but you have to buy a beverage in order to get the deal. Beverage was 6$. The service was attentive and I was able to sit outside to enjoy my food.

Rockefeller  Burger
Scott N.

We had a nice meal here last night - stopped in after the beautiful sunset and were looking for a place that had good food and an open air seating arrangement. They had some yummy cocktails - particularly enjoyed "The Obvious Choice". Bartenders/manager was on point. We also got some burgers and tacos...really well made and super tasty. My only gripe was the server - he was a little aloof - he seemed like he was trying to be "cool"...it took him around while to come check on us and it just didn't seem like he knew what was going on. As an example, the burgers don't come with fries...he didn't really check to see if that might be something we might like. Regardless, food was good and I'd go again to see if it was just a bad night...

Pork Belly Benedict
Simon T.

Ended up here because the pancake place had an 1+ hour wait. What a happy accident. I wanted Eggs Benedict (which the other spot didn't have) and was shocked at how good this was. Wifey got her pancakes and kiddo ate her whole plate. Win all the way across. Gotta come back to try their $2 Tuesday Burgers next!

Nice enough bar atmosphere, but when entrees come out 20 minutes before your apps it kinda throws the whole evening off.

Found this gem on accident while strolling along manhattan beach. We sat at the bar to avoid the…read morewait and it was a great choice! The bartender was quick to greet us and he was very kind. His espresso martini was so delicious! It was my first time trying one and it did not disappoint. My partner and I had the crispy rice with spicy tuna and the shrimp taquitos, while on the pricier side it is definitely worth it. The spicy tuna crispy rice was so rich in flavor, and the crispy rice truly was crispy. The shrimp taquitos were unlike anything i've tried before! I was expecting some classic taquitos filled with shrimp but this place really goes above and beyond with this dish. The shrimps were wrapped (as you can see in the photo) and it was so good!! I definitely plan on coming back if i'm ever in the area. The ambience of this place is beautiful too, we came during the day but I really want to see how it is at night. I would say this is a great spot for a date night with a partner or friends.

Nick's Manhattan Beach will always hold a special place in our family's heart…read more In August 2025, I made a dinner reservation at Nick's because my parents were visiting from out-of-town and we had some exciting news to announce: we were pregnant with our first baby! :) On the reservation, I noted this, and didn't expect much. The day of the reservation, the host manager called to confirm that we wanted to share the news at dessert, and if there were any other accommodations we needed, which was very sweet. When we arrived at our table, they had a card signed by staff congratulating us, and it was a night to remember. Great food, great service, and the warm hand towels after my dad demolished the baby back ribs were the cherry on top! Our group also ordered the chilean sea bass, salmon, and bistro plate. 10/10. One of our final meals as a family of two was Valentine's Day 2026. It was our first time being seated indoors, and the ambiance was dim and romantic. The meatloaf special was fantastic! Fast forward to June 2026, and we brought our 3-month-old son to his first NIck's meal (unfortunately, he could not partake) and to celebrate my husband's first Father's Day. On this reservation, I put in a request for outdoor seating that gave us enough room to park our stroller and car seat, and they were able to accommodate that. They were also understanding when me and my husband were running a few minutes past our reservation time due to fhe baby, and we appreciated the flexibility. Noise level was moderate, but definitely quieter outside. If you get nothing else from this review, just remember this: ORDER THE WARM BUTTER CAKE. YOU WILL NEVER REGRET IT. Thanks for the consistent hospitality and great meals, Nick's!

Our server Mark was great and explained the menu and popular dishes. We started off with crab cakes and had the branzino, sea scallops and lam chops for the main course. My daughter had grilled chicken and french fries. BTW, the french fries were delicious! We all enjoyed our meals. My lamb chops were perfectly cooked at medium-rare but a little under seasoned. They brought me a salt and pepper mill to season the chops. I was a little surprised that they were under seasoned. I asked for iced tea refills and they were obliging. The meal was moderately priced but for the ambiance and good quality, it was worth it. The service was spot on with plenty of staff attending to our needs. The most challenging part of our experience was finding parking. There's plenty of metered street parking and limited parking lots near the Manhattan Beach pier.

Was looking for a spot to eat at manhattan beach and based on my trusty yelpers reviews this seemed…read morelike the foodie spot to try. They weren't wrong. We started with the ceviche in Clamato with pieces of crab and avocado served with a delicious tortilla chips. I absolutely loved the flavor profile and couldn't get enough of the Clamato sauce. Then we moved to the weekend only special sea urchin, which Stephanie's parents personally bring down from Santa Barbara for weekend service. I'm usually indifferent at best to sea urchin, but this was excellent Then we shared the Jonah Crab Fusilli, another winner. I was driving, but hubby ordered a banhattan and it was another winner. They also have some beer and wine options as well as a full bar. Though very full by this point, just couldn't resist the pretzel bread pudding. The bread portion was crispy on the outside and warm and soft on the inside with a delicious salty caramel sauce. Served with a very smooth and delectable scoop of ice cream. There's indoor and outdoor seating. If you want to sit inside best to make a reservation. We did not have reservations, but were lucky to get outside seating. Service was fluid with different people coming around to ensure everything was tidy. Really enjoyed one of the staff, a young girl who cleared our table and delivered some of the dishes. Loved her chill surferish vibes.

Definitely suited our sensibilities to be close to the heart of this treasure, plus it can get cold out there! When our friendly and helpful server learned that we'd never been to FwD before, we were both treated a tasty amuse, a Peruvian scallop, one of their specialties. Served chilled, absolute heaven. Simple, fresh, delicious, and very pretty atop its shell. We ordered an appetizer, a different scallop dish, Pan Seared Diver Scallops. (Parsnip-potato puree, brown butter ponzu, capers). So good. Succulent, perfectly cooked and devilishly satisfying with its rich, savory flavor. We enjoyed the one dish that have been on their menu since the beginning, Koshihikari Rice. (short-grain Japanese rice, overnight chicken dashi, shrimp, uni, blue crab, cage-free egg yolk.) Wow. So much happening here, and yet it's a complete package. All the ingredients meld together sumptuously. It akin to Paella, or perhaps to a stuffed Risotto, although the Koshihikari Rice was very much its own dish. The server swerved and mixed the egg yolk on our plate, and we loved it. Our strategy to try a number of dishes and yet still have room for dessert worked. Many great choices, and I doubt we'd be disappointed with anything. However, we had heard from the table next to use that the key-lime pie was must. Happily, they were right. This Key Lime Pie is just sweet and just tart enough. Though I am not Key Lime Pie expert, this one struck me as imaginative with its meringue colony crowding the pie's surface for additional dessert debauchery. There nothing overwhelmingly citrusy about it, and it was light enough to help you feel satisfied and just right. The coffee was good, too. This is a low-key yet lovely dining experience in Manhattan Beach.

He was very helpful explaining some of the options only offered on today's menu. They offered a Bistro Burger (five out of six of us ordered!) and I wanted to know how different this burger was from their Simmzy's Burger (my personal favorite). He was spot on, explained it was smokey in flavor and quite different with the pretzel bun. It was so.good, served with fries (best shoestring fries!), onion rings, and piled so high you had to use a fork and knife to eat it! We left beyond full! Definitely we will be back soon!
