The food is SO good! I was in the mood for seafood and all of it was excellent, especially the crab cake! Also, the service was very attentive and friendly. This is definitely a new favorite! read more

Brigantine has been a favorite of mine for some time now. Having them close to home is awesome. Staff has always been super friendly and they have a good selection of beer and liquor. My favorite is taco Tuesday, the mahi mahi tacos or the carnitas tacos are great. Do yourself a favor and order some dessert you won't regret it!! read more

Brigantine - Company party!! - Seafood Near Me - Imperial Beach, California

Great happy hour food and good prices. Many interesting beers on tap, some local labels. The fish tacos are huge and my very favorite - $3.00 on Tuesdays, or $3.25 from 4-6 other days. My friends love the oysters on the half shell - fresh and $9.00 for a half dozen. Good soup and salad on the HH menu as well. read more

GREAT SERVICE GREAT FOOD! From the happy hour oysters and calamari to their fantastic specials you can't go wrong. The breeze off the ocean makes the seafood sing. Shout out to Seth for putting all the little details together for a perfect evening. Flip flops to dress shoes you'll fit in this is the kind place you can tell others about. Keep it classy San Diego. read more

Went for happy hour and had great service and drinks. The sliders were a fun way to enjoy a large variety of flavors. Only miss was the calamari strips that weren't as crispy as we would have enjoyed. However, for the price it was a good meal for a good cost. read more

Very good lunch! My husband loved his poke and ceviche dishes. My surf and turf tacos were delicious and the side veggies so fresh. Our sever was a little weird but that's ok. The people watching on the main beach strip was amazing. They appeared to have good looking brunch items from the items I saw going to other tables. What a nice spot. read more

Third time eating here and the food has progressively gotten worse. We ordered fish and chips and chorizo flatbread. The fish and chips was very bland. Chorizo flatbread was a joke. Basically dough covered in cheese with barely any meat. Gave it three stars because the service and atmosphere has always been good. But if you're expecting good food I'd go elsewhere. read more

Take my wife out for a date night at this particular Brigantine in imperial Beach. Place was not busy at all and our server took forever to get to us. Waited forever for water to get refilled Oysters were probably the worst I've ever tasted not fresh at all and this is a seafood restaurant Soup never came We complain to one of the employees and told them to cancel our whole order and we just left still got charged for the oysters and the one margarita. Never going back to this place read more

We moved to IB a little over a year ago and this quickly became our go to restaurant. The staff is super friendly and the food is delish! My favorite meal is the Cesar salad, 6 oysters, and a gin and tonic (or two). The happy hour prices really make this easy to repeat week after week. read more

Visited recently on 10/23 and have been to this location 4x over the last 12 mos. The place is lovely and looks out at the pier in IB so that's all top notch. They've got a good selection of beer & wine and drinks are reasonably priced. Regardless, their fare always manages to be a few levels below their sister locations. Oysters always seem to have a few with shell in them, the tender items (like octopus) are just over cooked and the fish tacos are not just forgettable but actually regrettable. Staff is nice but this location just doesn't pull it all together to give a good Brigantine experience. read more

My mom and neighbor were here last night. This morning I ended up calling the ambulance for my Mom for food poisoning after eating 1 fish taco. Not sure if it was the fish itself or the poor handling of it. If you're paying 15 bucks for two tacos you shouldn't be getting sick like that. I have eaten at fish taco trucks and haven't gotten sick. Ridiculous! read more

The food is good, Taco Tuesday, 1/2 wine Wednesday, they have another Thursday special. The happy hour salads are too small. The service has always been fine. The restaurant is self is nice, however, if you sit outside the bus comes like every 5 minutes, its gross and annoying read more

First time visiting this small location . It's definitely a great place if you like seafood or want to grab a drink with friends with a beach view. Customer service was amazing . I am personally not a seafood fan but I was very impressed with there chicken cesar salad and hamburger and fries . Everything was flavored perfectly and cooked very well . I will definitely visit this location again . As for prices they are decent & fit everyone's budget .Only bad thing I can say is parking is a hassle . read more

It's been a while since I've been here due to covid. The service and atmosphere was great. However the appetizers were average. I'd still rate this place a 4. I remember the food being better. I don't know if it was an off day but I'll be back soon to see. I would love to give them 5 stars. Hopefully the food is better next time. read more

Best happy hour at the beach service is always great at the bar and the view is just great I'm pretty sure it's 3 to 6 and it's worth a stop

Great place to est the food is good and the services is great. This is a place where you can take you pet dog.

Cute little lunch spot right on the beach! Great service and fresh delicious oysters! Highly recommend stoping by for some oysters and a cocktail... or two read more

Came here during happy hour with my husband for drinks and oysters and ending up sharing a two taco plate. 4 star due to parking and bland fries. But more importantly the customer service was great. Brigantine has some of the freshest oysters I've tried. We shared a dozen and had some drinks. We decided to chat and eat a little more and had the two taco grilled Sonoran fish plate. Tacos were different but delicious. I think adding the cheese to the tacos gave it an interesting taste. They were crunchy fish tacos, next time I'm not sharing lol. The plate cake with side of fruit and fries and I think to complete the plate the fries should have more flavor. Add some seasonings or sauce to dip the fries and/or tacos would be excellent. I'll be back to try more read more

Brigantine is decent. Crab cakes have potential but, sadly they are more shredded filling than notable crab. Food is mediocre but prices are way too high for what you get. read more

fish tacos are so good and big portioned plate. previously the reviews showed smaller plate portions of the tacos but now it has changed which is pretty great :) read more

I've been to the brigantine in la mesa and there Portside location and I have to say this is my favorite location. Service and food wise the host are very welcoming and asked us if we had preferred seating. Our server was amazing always checking on us let us know her favorites on the menu we got the calamari as an appetizer and they were amazing perfectly cooked not rubbery at all and came with cocktail sauce and a jalapeño sauce that was amazing. I order a freebird sandwich the server let me know ahead of time there was buffalo sauce on it and asked if I wanted it on the side and said yes food came out quick and it was amazing came with fresh chips and a coleslaw and 10/10 recommend I will be back to this location. read more

I had a nice pleasant lunch at Imperial Beach store. What a nice lay back atmosphere and good food, but better than the food was our server. Katie was so in tune to our needs without our asking , and not only once but the entire time we were dining. She was on the ball with refills on our ice tea and water. It was amazing how awesome Katie was. She's not only a great server by I very kind person. I felt like I knew her for years what manner she possesses. Good luck in life Katie you are an exceptional person read more

I've only been here a couple times but our server Sofia was amazing and the sweetest! We're new to the area and Will be coming back to brigantine! Thank you sofia read more

So bummed. Our fav place and just got food poisoning from the Mahi mahi. Was the only thing I've had different from my family the whole day and evening before read more

This is my second review for a brigantine company restaurant. My wife and I weren't going to bother but we have been talking about our time at this brig over the weekend. We dined in on Saturday, and boy! The place was packed. The whole bar and the entire restaurant was full, we managed to get a little corner booth. So comfy! Food was great. Tacos came out in 5 minutes. Tasted great. Our server brought us out the jalapeño white sauce for our chips.. you guys should really consider selling that stuff. Main thing we felt we needed to address were the workers. You guys are awesome! We had 5 different people checking on us, chit chatting, filling our drinks, dropping our food. It was seriously..BRAVO! I wish we remembered everyone's names. We remember Demi! We met her over when ketch opened and she actually remembered us! We couldn't believe it. We just wanted to get on here and say thank you. We live closer to the Point Loma locations but we will definitely make it a point to be back down in imperial beach. read more

I love the food here, it's so delicious and they have some good happy hour prices. I do wish they had more fishes entrees though besides tacos and sandwiches. My service experience has been hit or miss, some good, some very unprofessional. Overall I would recommend it. read more

Yummy fish tacos! I added fresh avocado too. My boyfriend had a crab cake. I had the clam chowder. Honestly, I've had better. Chocolate flan was his favorite. I'm a coffee flan fan. My experience was pleasant. The location is fantastic. read more

This place was very delicious overall, but I did feel like the steak I got was overpriced for the quality, but those artichoke fritters and the tacos are very good! I would go back, just maybe not get the steak next time. read more

I only ordered the chowder for pickup since I was at the beach with my daughter. Amazing service. They provide the utensils I asked for. The chowder was just a bit too salty for my taste but overall good. read more

This place has the best happy hour! Love wine Wednesday's! The bartenders are awesome especially Tara! Food is good! Service is good! I always meet great new ppl here! Love it! read more

Ate here yesterday, we waited for calamari strips appetizer for 1 hour until we didn't get it at all... I stated to our blond waitress if she feels sorry she can bring me half glass of wine...she seriously smirked with sarcasm....: for only 1 hour???? Np way.... I am really surprised that serving personnel believe that out of 2 hour total waiting time 1 hour means nothing to a customer and doesn't influence in any way their experience....so-sorry for these people, and as I always say, it starts with one (customer and then they g out of business). For a first time I was thinking to leave zero tip...Reputations is everything! read more

Love this place!! We always get Omar as our server and he is amazing, very friendly and very tentative! Definitely one of my favorite spots in IB read more

Great service and atmosphere on imperial Beach. We wanted somewhere different and we never head out to IB so we went out for Brigantine. The crab and shrimp fondue is a must. We were lucky they were doing the $30 lobster special. The swordfish tacos were excellent. Service was great. Drinks are great. Fairly small location though. Right across from the boardwalk and several breweries! read more

I was craving clam chowder. Man this place does not disappoint! The chowder was better than anticipated.

Great restaurant! We love the food, the location, the service, all of it! It is a family favorite.

Last night I decided to try Brigantine's crab cakes. I am from Maryland, and VERY picky about my crab cakes! To my delight, it was absolutely delicious! And the cole slaw was equally devine! I wish I had taken a picture, next time I will. Thank you, Chef! read more

This place is amazing. Great food, atmosphere and staff. Everything came quick and was wonderful. It has a family friendly atmosphere and was so helpful with the kids. I want to go here die happy hour every night, I wish this were in my town. read more
