My boyfriend took me here because it was a restaurant that he used to frequent when he was in the military. Unfortunately, he was disappointed because, according to him, it wasn't the same anymore. We were seated immediately when we came into the restaurant. They had many artworks on the wall that you could purchase. They also had a nice rear patio if the weather is nice enough. He ordered the calamari, and even I could agree that it was disappointing because it was very chewy, and the sweet sauce they had on it was not a good combination. I had to squirt some lemons on it to balance the taste, and it was still not a good balance because it was too sweet. We both ordered the Beach Fire Cheeseburger. The fries were frozen, and they definitely tasted frozen, which was probably also the case for the calamari. We both finished half of our burger. They were okay. There are definitely other spots you can try in this area. read more

Big thanks to Beach Fire Bar and Grill for sponsoring and hosting the Happy Empty Nesters (HENs) annual Spring Fundraiser! Because of owner Edgar's partnership, HENs will be able to continue making a meaningful impact on San Clemente students' education, and that's something truly special. The entire staff at Beach Fire was amazing: friendly, hardworking, and full of positive energy that made the event so fun from start to finish. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious (as always), and Matt Koerner's music was the perfect cherry on top of an already incredible evening. Thank you, Beach Fire, for your generosity and community spirit. Run, don't walk: this place is something special! read more

Beachfire Bar & Grill - HENs outside of Beach Fire! - New American Near Me - San Clemente, California

Stopped here on "taco Tuesday" where they have a special food and drink menu...sat outside on the front "porch" area that must be a byproduct of Covid...it was nice, great night with a slight breeze...service was very good, she took our drink orders and returned a few minutes later when we ordered food...the tacos are small street style and you get two for the $7, we ordered two of the ahi tuna and one each of the fish and carne asada...the tacos are served by themselves with no sides so if you are really hungry you may want to go in a different direction...the ahi were the best imo, nice chunks of tuna and a somewhat spicy dressing...the fish and asada were also very good but not as filling as the ahi....the Mexican beers were $5 today as well so à corona was in order....other drink specials were the margarita for $9 or $10 depending on the style...my son was still hungry after the tacos so he ordered a small clam chowder which he really liked....the full menu is also available but happy hour does not take place on Tuesday's....all in all a good experience, nice to sit outdoors and eat and San Clemente is a nice small town without a lot of drama...would return again in future, RECOMMEND read more

We stopped here for a quick dinner. Ordered the blackberry salmon and filet mignon medallions with seasonal veggies. Our waitress was great very attentive. We sat outside because there was a live band and it was a bit loud inside. Guy with a guitar he was pretty good. The food was cooked perfectly. The salmon was sweet and sauce was a little seedie. The mashed potatoes were tasty. The gravy was on point. Totally worth the trip. read more

Overall it was good. The poki bowl was good but wish there more ahi and more side option besides avocado and japanese seaweed. The flavor was good. The grilled chicken sandwich was flavorful and tasty and nicely grilled, slightly crunchy bread. The restaurant was quiet enough to have a conversation without having to raise your voice. Looking forward to coming back. read more

We went here Friday evening. They had live band playing. The place was busy. The vibe and ambiance was great. We enjoyed our time here. All the 3 items we ordered were very flavorful and tasty. The wonton mentioned in the Spicy Tuna was not really wonton but nonetheless it was yummy . Blackberry Mojito Salmon was absolutely mouthwatering. Little bit of blackberry jam, lemony and minty. read more

4 stars because I would go back. Some STRONG margaritas and mojitos. Maybe we are just light weights. I enjoyed my ahi tacos, rice was a bit dry. Also enjoyed to s'mores special dessert, wishing for a bit more marshmallow to gramcracker ratio. Sat outside and was able to have my pup with me which is a plus. Good service. read more

Definitely above n beyond and all with a smile! Our server was Levi...the best!! So attentive n helpful and went out of his way to assist with heater. Such a great personality ..couldn't do enough to make our dining experience perfect..happy to take some pics etc. Extremely "packed" crowd but Levi attended to every detail...happily!! Many thanks to both Lucas & Levi..you're the best!! read more

Sean was our server today. We sat at the bar. Completely different experience than two previous times we tried this spot. Everyone was really nice. Good food. I ordered the steak and eggs and my boyfriend got the buffalo cauliflower. Sean looks like he could make drinks with his eyes closed. He was on it. Checked in with us. Brought us drinks, refills, made recommendations. It's a very relaxed vibe. Tons of locals. The place was busy and everyone was having a good time. We will be back for sure. read more

Love this place, especially happy hour. Tyler is an awesome friendly and efficient waiter. The whole staff are wonderful. I recommend the best clan chowder EVER!! I have eaten so many different types of clam chowder even in Washington, but hands down Beachfire clam chowder is the best. The prices are very reasonable in the regular menu. My hubby recommends the wedge salad, big portion with plenty of ingredients and dressing. We will be coming back for sure. read more

My girlfriend and our kids took the trolley down to the beach and on the way back up we decided to try out Beachfire. These times are crazy right now especially for us POC and I am always extra wary when I go out now. The ambiance felt like a total relaxing vacation. I felt like I was dining on the sand. The reggae playing was hitting. The food was very good we started with Calamari which was yummy. I ordered a BBQ chicken salad and it came out just how I like it flavorful and loaded. My girlfriend ordered their chipotle chicken pasta and it was also very tasty and not so heavy on the cream which I personally love. My daughter ate the kids quesadilla which was loaded with cheese and was very big Zoe was a huge fan! My friends daughter ordered the clam chowder which I didn't get to try.I'm a new mom so taking my 19 month old out to restaurants is so nerve wrecking but their outdoor dining deck saved the day. Here is the best part though, our waitress was amazing! Leah if you're reading this THANK YOU! Your customer service skills are top tier I'm a customer service expert myself and I can tell when someone is acting and when they're genuine. You are the real deal! The older ladies at the gallery a few steps away and a couple other judgy surrounding merchants could use all your help. You were the cherry on top of our San Clemente beach day! read more

We went to Beachfire after a show at the community theater across the street. We had reservations and got a table quickly, however we had to wait 30 minutes until the waiter took our order (he was pretty busy and they must've been understaffed for a Saturday evening). I ordered a pineapple express martini and asked to exchange it because it was too dry for me, and the waiter was happy to exchange it (I got a mango margarita which was much better, for my taste). We enjoyed the food very much. Everything came out hot and delicious. The chicken lettuce wraps were probably the best I ever had because of the variety of "add ins" and sauces they give you. read more

Not many places are open late on a Sunday night in San Clemente, but Beachfire was. Drinks were reasonably priced (not cheap, but not overpriced). The Beachfire Island Plate was good. A mix of beef and shrimp, cooked perfectly (very often, these two proteins are overcooked). The crispy calamari was good but came smothered in a sweet chili sauce, which killed the crunch. Better to serve the sauce on the side and let the calamari stay crispy. At $19, the portion was also a bit small. Staff was polite even with the place nearly empty. Would stop in again if I'm in the area late. read more

Went here the other night with my friend and we had a ton of fun. I love the live music and our drinks were really good. Also the bartenders are quick and friendly. I ordered an espresso martini which was yummy. read more

What first stood out is the cozy wooden Polynesian vibes. I came here because a friend invited me to see a local band play (Sticks & Stones). This place started off a little mellow with a large Boomer crowd and over the course of the night the Gen Z'ers were filling this place up! My husband and I felt like we were the only Millenials representin'! Anyways, they have plenty of seating to choose from; a patio right on Del Mar, the bottom level/bar area and upstairs which I didn't get a chance to check out. We were hungry so we shared a poke bowl and sliders. The poke bowl was a little plain but the sliders were good. My husband went out on a limb and ordered a Negroni, not expecting it to be that fancy but he was pleasantly surprised they served it on a large whiskey cube as it should be. Beachfire seemed to be the only establishment on a Friday night with live music and a bustling atmosphere late into the night. Definitely the place to go for beach culture and good vibes. read more

if you've been looking for the grumpiest, most rude waitress in all of America, I found her for you. She works at Beach Fire Grill on the outside patio. All I wanted was a beer. That was it. I saw play at the Cabrillo Playhouse and I some leftovers with me from before the play. I was waiting quite a while for somebody to take my order when decided to eat the taco that was in my bag. This rude, thoughtless waitress kept passing by me without making eye contact until I had to flag her down and she said in a rude manner "I can't serve you if you're eating food from another restaurant" and she stormed off like the ultimate Karen. She didn't bother have a conversation or anything. Mr. Beachfire Manager, She passed up a sale for god sake. I'm fairly certain that I'm not the first person to take the brunt of her nastiness. I'll never go back to this place as long as I live. read more

Saturday brunch omelette was 2-3 star. I had the shrimp & lobster omelette, the underside was a browned & overcooked. Omelette's shouldn't have a crunch. They subbed a house salad instead of potatoes but neglected to tell me there was a $3 up charge. Server was attentive & friendly however as well as hostess. Nice side patio. My friend liked her breakfast burger & served with enough fries to feed 4. read more

One of if not best Unlimited Mimosa Sundays in town! Service is always the best, can't go wrong!

Live Music, lots of nice patrons and the food is great! Not bad for dancing or just hanging out and enjoying the beach vibe and cocktails!

Second time here as we are staying nearby. Both times there was a band which we like but can be loud in limited space. The host noticed we wanted to sit in a more quiet area and gave us a great seat in back by the fireplace. Waitress was very friendly and attentive and the host checked back on us. What a welcoming experience! Food was solid and prices are reasonable. A great experience! read more

I found this restaurant on Yelp, I am a little familiar with San Clemente. It is a nice city to visit, shop and dine. The shops and restaurants are not "big" chain stores, but rather, nice boutiques and owner-occupied businesses. Beachfire is open 7 days a week and have it all! Happy Hour specials Monday thru Friday; entertainment like karaoke (Monday) Taco Tuesday, and live bands on the weekends. The service was impeccable, Nick has been the bartender for over 20 years. He came out to greet us on the patio and take our order. Most bartenders stay back, but he was out in the patio "multi-tasking" and greeting customers. Edgar came by to check on us, I thought he was the server or maybe the manager. He is actually one of the owners. He asked where we were from and welcomed us. We ordered an Ahi Tuna sandwich and a chicken habenero flatbread. The sandwich had a generous portion of tuna and seasoned perfectly, topped with avocado. It was plated perfectly $19. The flatbread was delicious, the chicken was grilled, the spice level was medium. It had red onions and pineapple bits and a drizzle of Ranch dressing that added a nice and tasty sweetness $15. The restaurant has an upstairs level, a patio in front, and another outdoor patio at the rear entrance. This is a casual place, but not fast food, they actually service quality food with fresh veggies. Every time I come to San Clemente, it has been a wonderful experience. So many unique stores to explore. I think you'd be pleased too. Relax, enjoy, shop and dine here and don't forget to tell 'em that Rosemary sent ya! read more
