    karaoke on the back patio!

    Baja is a great place for summer fun. Good food and good times! I love Thursday night Karaoke with KJ Scotty. He runs the best and most fair show on the beach. Everybody in my family has a great time!!

    Food & drinks were solid, but THE VIEWS / VIBES at sunset were what made this place so great! Perfect spot to stop after a day at the beach.

    Great restaurant for locals and tourists visiting Sandbridge beach. This restaurant does get crowded because the location is tucked in Sandbridge close to all the homes. Good indoor and outdoor area and during the summertime they do have events each night and many live bands for entertainment. The staff is friendly and welcoming, we came on a weekday and yes, it was busy. Our wait time of 40mins however ended up being about 10mins. We sat down and looked at the menu, lots to choose from however the day we went their pizza oven was broken. No worries. We ordered something else. To start we got the calamari and broccoli. Both very good apps then for dinner my hubs got the crab cake sandwich and I got the shrimp tacos. The shrimp tacos were super good! I would definitely go back again for them. It was filled generously and it was perfectly fried and seasoned. Our server was really friendly and attentive. She made sure to check on us often. Make sure you try this restaurant and be sure to get the shrimp tacos! You will thank me later!

    Our AirBnb host highly recommended this local spot. He raved about the fish tacos and the beautiful sunset. My Mr and I were sold that on our last day, we had to pay them a visit. There is a coffee shop inside. We wanted to sit out on the patio since the weather was perfect and I wanted to take pictures of the sunset. It was steady so we were seated right away. Our server was Nova. Amazing server. Very laid back and attentive. Both the drink and food menus are simple. Not huge but enough for you to make a quick decision. They do have appetizers, burgers, seafood, pizza, entrees, salad and dessert. Our order for the night: New Realm Hazy Like a Fox IPA Relax Riesling She Fries Ca'Donini Sauvignon blanc O'Connor Brewing Proper Lager Red Snapper (grilled and fish of the day) with broccoli and hollandaise sauce Mahi tacos with veggies We got our she fries right away. Wow! Amazing! Like eating poutine! The crab soup on top was super thick and creamy. Had great flavor. Our dinners were delish as well. My Mr enjoyed his tacos and the red snapper was grilled just right. Loved the broccoli and the Boursin sauce that came with it. At the end, I was able to get that sunset shot. We sat on the lounge chairs, had a drink and watch the sun go down. Very relaxing. On occasion they do have live bands and they have cornhole if you want to play. Overall, this was a great experience. What a way to end our last day. Definitely coming back!

    Fish tacos (I asked for fried fish instead of grilled). It was ok, not the best and I wouldn't recommend the mashed potatoes

    This is a nice spot, our second time coming here the staff were super accommodating and friendly. The food is ok but we didn't mind coming since it was close to our Airbnb and we didn't need to drive. The view during sunset is gorgeous. Tip: if you are coming for dinner I would recommend putting your name in then walking the beach for a bit before your table is ready. We went on a Friday and Saturday night and had to wait about an hour for a table each time.

    Great drinks and ambience. The bar tender was really helpful and specialty drinks were all great. It looks like they have a lot of great weeknight specials like karaoke and live music too. Check it out before sunset you won't be disappointed!

    She crab fries... Like a seafood take on poutine.

    My lady and I were looking for a spot nearby the beach for dinner with a great outdoor view and we were told of this place by the owner of our Air BNB. It was only a few minutes away which made it even better. Plus, why not have dinner near the beach that you're staying on? My lady and I got there around 6pm or so. They were a bit busy but we were still sat right away by a very friendly hostess. The place itself feels a little divey but is also open and welcoming. We sat outside in a very nice spot with a view of the setting sun. Both their food and drinks menus aren't huge but have a variety of great chioces. Our server, Nova, was absolutely great. Very friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. My lady and I started off with a couple drinks, a Relax Riesling for her and New Realm Hazy Like a Fox IPA for me. We browsed the menu and were very intrigued by the She Fries, fries topped with their homemade She Crab soup... So we ordered some, and they were amazing! It was like a seafood take on poutine. The soup was rich like a chowder and had loads a big crab meat chunks. We tore it up! As for our main courses, my lady got the red snapper (fish of the day) grilled with steamed broccoli, and I got the ahi tacos with green beans. Of course we ordered more drinks! An O'Connor Proper Lager for me and a Ca'Donini Sauvignon blanc for her. Her fish was HUGE! Too much for her to finish. My tacos were very delicious and tasted immensely fresh. All of it was excellent! After we were done and VERY full, we ordered one more round of drinks, and sat nearby the water to watch the sunset. The view was almost perfect. We definitely enjoyed it and got some great pictures. On the way out, they had a bunch of shirts and hats for sale, so I scored myself a shirt with the place's logo on the front and back. This is one awesome local spot for good eats. Excellent service, very scenic location, tasty libations, and very fresh seafood. I highly recommend the she crab fries and ahi tacos. But whatever you decide to order, you're very likely going to enjoy it. Eat like a local!

    A little gem hidden in the VB area! I was staying in Sandbridge for the week and it wasn't my first time, however, I never heard of this place! It's a little water-view spot with occasional live music, karaoke, and other fun themed nights for locals and vacationers alike. The staff was friendly and kind, and the food was good enough to return! I got a cesar salad and their new mushroom pasta with blackened chicken. The salad was excellent, I asked for it chopped but they were unsure what I meant, that's ok! The pasta had great flavor but was sitting in a pool of orange grease/oil and was absolutely overloaded with salt. That made it quite difficult to eat BUT the dish has so so much potential!!! We will be returning when we head back to VB next summer!

    Calamari app...really good

    The menu is limited, and my wife's burger was not done to her requested doneness. Also the fries were not hot even after sending them back.

We were going to move but they had a big fan blowing and they turned it away from her. Now take that with a grain of salt because the heat in her room is set to 76 and it's April. 2. It was too loud. Since the kitchen is open you can hear the cooks doing cook things. She was irritated by the noises coming from the kitchen but once again....grain of salt. The volume on her TV is at 80 and she can't hear it but can hear the kitchen noises. 3. The seat was too hard. Once again....grain of salt. She is skin and bones but I will bring her something to sit on next time. She actually did enjoy the food but I got the leftovers. :) We will be back.

The ambiance was nice, the open kitchen with the wood fire hearth right at the entrance added a warm cozy feel from the onset. The restaurant was warmly lit but not dark. We were seated immediately in the far left dining area in an elevated booth. After reviewing the menu we settled on the fried deviled eggs and wood fire oysters for starters and the Vincent Vega pizza for dinner. Fried deviled eggs was a first for us and it was so good! The egg white was breaded very lightly and fried and the egg yolk was piped on top with a piece of smoky delicious bacon goodness. It had a nice smoky, bacon-y taste and we devoured them. I only wish you got more than 2 pieces. I think 4 pieces would be better for the price considering it's essentially one egg but I'm not complaining. The wood fire oysters was another hit for us, the serving came with 6 half shell oysters topped with breadcrumbs (light), swimming in butter and fire roasted. I think we ate these even faster than the deviled eggs lol! Would definitely get these again. The pizza also did not disappoint. If you like bacon, mushrooms and creamy Boursin cheese, you'll love this pizza. We added crushed red pepper flakes which added a nice kick. The crust is the star of the show; thin, crispy but still has body and slightly chewy. Yum! That wood fire hearth definitely makes a difference. Overall we had a great experience and will definitely be back! The staff were also very nice and friendly.

    BOGO BURGER NIGHTMARE: I'd like to start by commemorating…read morethe views and ambiance of the establishment, truly a great reservoir to look over. Upon entry a sign signaled of BOGO burgers, and immediately my melancholy demeanor turned to excitement. Throughout our dinner we experienced great drinks, great service, and the best part... great camaraderie amongst my crew. Still reminiscing of our great time and would recommend to any common folk. Now comes the bad, when we received the bill; let me tell you I was shocked! When I read -$7.5 off as a freind and I ordered a $24 Burger and split the bill. Am I crazy? half of 24 is 12, why am I seeing 7.5? Being the astute young man I aspire to be, my first instinct is to question and deep dive. We were blindsided to hear that in Shorebreak's dictionary BOGO means by one burger get the second one $15 off or the price of the cheapest burger with no cheese, and no add-ons. There was no warning, no asterisk on the sign, no fine print on the menu. My review is not out of spite and not to spark any anger or backlash but to inform the general public of a clear cut example of false advertisement. like I said the food, service, views were well above par, and I happily paid my bill and spoke with the manager on duty of an obvious communication error that was received in an apathetic manner. PSA to all Shorebreaker's that BOGO is not what you think it is and I don't want to see any other unsuspecting users fall in the same trap. 4/5 stars food was great the sign could use and update.

    We love Shorebreak because it's a fun and uplifting environment that you can enjoy with family and…read morefriends.
