    We've probably been here five times in the last six months, and every time the food is consistently delicious. My go to is the Caprese sandwich, and my husband has tried something different each visit...he's loved everything so far. The staff is always friendly, the place is clean, and they have a great outdoor, pet-friendly patio with umbrellas. Definitely one of our regular spots!

    Came in right before closing to order quickly and the guys were very nice. I had the most lovely pastrami sandwich called the Malibu. 10 out of 10.

    Went here again for lunch. Had the BBQ Chicken hot sandwich and BBQ pulled pork hot sandwich. Both were excellent! Paired it with chips and a cold brew! The service was great and the accommodations were welcoming. The vibe is relaxed and each booth has a flat screen tv.

    Cute little location of a local mini chain of sandwich shops above the beach. Numerous hot and cold sandwich choices, salad, and sides/appetizers. Interior has a beach/tiki feel with a patio to sit outside. Our choices today were a small (half) Ruben and a full size Hobie. The Hobie is a combo of Pastrami and Salami-Genoa I believe. Served in a soft hoagie style roll with provolone cheese and Italian dressing. Plus your other accoutrements. I chose light on the dressing and am glad I did as the bread got pretty mushy even with that choice. But the meats, cheese, lettuce and tomato went very nicely with the roll. It's a filling sandwich. The half Rueben was pronounced good but wet with all the moist ingredients-sauerkraut, mustard, 1000 island and the meat cooked in Italian dressing. But not a bit was left. If you're looking for a picnic to take to the beach, I'm sure you could do much worse than this place. Just order accordingly to enjoy your sandwich.

    Great food and good atmosphere. Can't beat the location across the street from the beach and the staff is super friendly and helpful. Definitely need to visit if ur a local or visiting San Clemente.

    Love beach hut for a fancy sandwich! We have come here and picked up and the food is always really good. They have a cute patio that is dog friendly. They have a sandwich for everyone, hot or cold and kids options. The service has always been friendly and quick. We will definitely be back and love the location, right by north beach!

    i waited a whole fucking hour just to revive a 3 inch chode of a sand which. The worker was very rude and sassy. 1/100 would not recommend.

    Went here for date night last week- it has a lot more seating inside than I had expected!…read more Good service- 5/5 The ambience - 3.5/5 - the ambience wasn't my favorite, maybe it's a little better in their main restaurant area but we were seated to the left when you walk in and while there are a few booths in that area it was mostly outdoor chairs and tables and sort of odd lighting. Just very very casual and not totally comfortable. Food- 3.4/4 out of 5 - I got the Luau plate and LOVED the chicken!! Everyone else was right- that chicken thigh deserves its own plate. I also really enjoyed the coconut pudding/jello thing that came with it and the sausage link. The pulled pork was just okay, not very well seasoned but not bad. The side of "dressed greens" was just some lettuce without dressing on it, and I thought the macaroni salad was fine. The last thing that really disappointed me were the sautéed veggies :/ they were just soo oily and had no seasoning to them at all. I didn't eat any of them or the un-dressed 'salad'. My husband got the chicken katsu plate, he said the chicken katsu was fine but the fries on the side were cold and not crispy, they were kind of chalky in the mouth and didn't taste fresh. Some parts were definitely a 3/5 but my chicken thigh was so good and the portions are *huge* so I feel like they deserve a 4/5? All in all, I think I'd come back if I wanted to go out with someone but save some money and we'd split one of the plates (the portions really are huge).

My tall Sequoia of a date did the classic awkward shuffle at the front like, "hi, can the dog come through to the patio without causing a federal incident?" The guy we asked looked like we had just asked him to solve climate change (bc he was a customer...), but he very politely redirected us to the cashier, who was lovely. So: Kindness: 10/10. Confusion: also 10/10. ~Balance~ Now the food. The Boulder orders a fish burrito. I go for the chimichurri salmon bowl with quinoa because I, too, enjoy pretending I have my life together. BUT. The boulder also then orders clam chowder--a surprise, a moment of elation, but at the same time... skeptical? Sir? I have lamented over my favorite chowder like a woman waiting for her husband to come back from battle. Were your ears too high in elevation for my voice to reach? ANYWAYS. Let's talk about the clam chowder, because this is where things get serious. I have grown up eating clam chowder in Santa Cruz (my hometown, my birthplace, my origins). I have known greatness (shoutout to Stagnaro Bros., the downstairs fish market). So when I tell you I approached this chowder with standards, I need you to understand the weight of that statement. I put my spoon in. It did not sink. At that moment, I knew. This was not soup. This was a lifestyle. A structural entity. And it was GOOD. Creamy, thick, unapologetically clam-forward. Not quite Santa Cruz enlightenment, clouds-parting-angels-singing, but honestly? Strong contender. We're talking solid top 4-5 chowders of my life, and I do not say that lightly. Now, my salmon bowl? Good. Respectable. Salmon = crispy, quinoa = doing quinoa things (why is it always slightly annoying to eat??). Chimichurri good. The fish burrito (from my observational research + dog validation panel): packed, flaky, generous. My dog approved, which frankly is the highest honor available. Overall: Great food, great vibes, excellent chowder, and quality time with the Tall Sequoia Boulder Man™ on a random Monday. Plus points--chips looked fried on site :D

The variety of toppings is also plentiful and perfect to build the burger of your dreams. The best thing though, hands down, their waffle cut sweet potato fries paired with their house ranch.

Service is done with a smile and a friendly energy. As far as ambiance, I'd say it's like a casual beachside kinda joint.

We were not particularly hungry so we all had our chili hot dog and one kid's meal. My husband had the single cheeseburger. Seriously, the chili hot dog is amazing! It is a must-try item on the menu. The chili was delicious with a perfectly cooked beef hot dog. The sized portion was great too. I also recommend the Rice Crispy Treat and homemade chocolate pudding. They were super good. They've got indoor and also great outdoor seating depending on what is available or your preference. There is also a heater installed on the patio to make the outdoor dining comfortable. However, coastal evenings can turn chilly even in summer so bring a warm jacket or sweater. This will be very helpful to make a significant difference in your comfort.

Pros: This place has a really good overall vibe half restaurant, half bar which makes it feel more like a night-out spot than just a pizza place. The atmosphere was fun and energetic, especially with live music starting around 7pm on the Saturday I went. Staff were friendly, and the bar side added a nice social element if you're just hanging out with drinks. The pizza itself is a Detroit-style deep dish, and I got the pepperoni with hot honey. The quality was solid cheesy, thick, and filling but a bit more oily than expected. Still, the flavor was good and it felt like a heavy, satisfying meal. The beer selection was also good and paired well with the food. Parking is actually a strong plus here. There's a dedicated lot for customers that's free, which makes things easy if you're able to get a spot. Cons: The biggest downside is the menu structure--you have to order full pizzas only, with no slices or half-and-half options. That makes it harder to try multiple flavors. I wanted to try the mushroom truffle pizza but couldn't without committing to a full pie. Price is also on the higher side at around $26 for four pieces. Verdict: Overall a really solid spot with great vibes, good drinks, and quality pizza. I'd definitely come back, especially to try the mushroom truffle pizza next time.
