Fresh fish and chips, a smash burger, an homemade ice cream sandwich and a view of the marina, only in San Diego. Ellie was so sweet and helpful and made some great recommendations. The smash burger was my favorite, super soft bun, a tangy sauce, grilled onions and pickles - everything I want in a smash burger. The fish and chips were super fresh, they use tallow for the French fries too, which I love! They have a great selections of beers on tap and you have to finish with the ice cream sandwich. There is a view from every table on the patio as well. This would be a perfect stop for lunch after seaworld! read more

Stopped in for a bite to eat after a whale watching trip. They are located in a great spot near the water whoch means they stay busy but they are fast to get your food to you. The staff acknowledge you when you arrivr and are quick to take your order and the ambiance is casual. I ordered the fish sandwich and had the option of fries or onion rings. I appreciated having that option with no upcharge and chose onion rings. The good was presented fresh and hot and was delicious. Worth the visit!! read more

Charli's Landing - Smash burger with fries - American Near Me - San Diego, California

Another amazing breakfast at Charli's. After our first trip we had to come back and try it out again. Their breakfast sandwich and breakfast burger are amazing. The sausage tasted like it had rosemary today, it was flavorful and savory. The crunch from the hash brown just adds something extra. The breakfast burger is melty and gooey with the cheese, sauce, and sautéed onions. Love they top it off with their homemade pickles. Onions rings were crispy and fries were perfectly salted. Will probably stop by again before we leave, don't change a thing Charli's. read more

Thanks, Yelp, for another solid rec! Having a short amount of time in Mission Bay, San Diego, we were not about to waste time and taste buds on a dud. This was about a lovely 10 minute walk from our hotel, and it was a great pick! We enjoyed the fish tacos (grilled) and fish & chips, along with a couple of ciders and local drafts. The seating area could be upgraded to something more comfortable, but in the whole we enjoyed the soft breezes and sunshine overlooking the marina. read more

Shrimp taco was decent and fish taco was mediocre. It's got a nice view but I don't have any other things that would stand out about this place. Like, it was like $16 for 2 tacos. I kinda want more for $8 tacos. You know what I mean? read more

Ordered lunch from here as I was using the marina conference rooms. Upon first glance, I realized the menu is pretty basic and nothing is really different that would bring me there if I wasn't already there. Alas, I was hungry and needed fuel for my training. I at first was going to order the chicken Caesar wrap, but after making the option of wrap and chicken, I saw it took my total to over 18.00! So, I opted for the chicken strips and onion rings which were almost 14. The chicken strips were crunchy and the onion rings good, but again, it wasn't anything that would keep me choosing this place over any other place I can get chicken strips from. The place itself is more of a small hole in the wall that you order at and then eat outdoors, with some tables nearby. The outdoor ambiance was nice, but the bay crowded with boats, so not much of a "view" but being outside the air was fresh. Myself and my colleagues ordered our food at the same time, with my colleagues ordering tacos, and my order was on time but theirs was late and the line was long for pick up. Their tacos looked basic, and one of my other colleagues ordered the Caesar salad and it looked fresh. We didn't really interact with the employees other than to have them call our names for the to-go orders. Overall I wouldn't go back unless doing another training at the marina park conference rooms and having that my only option. I would recommend expanding the menu a bit as everything they offered there could be bought for cheaper at other locations. read more

Came here after hesitating to spend money at Sea World. Very good fish and chips. Fish was fresh, sweet abs perfectly cooked. Fries were extra crispy as ordered. Generous portion I split with my husband. Nice outdoor seating to watch all the fisherman taking off for their overnight trips. read more

Charli's Landing - Patio sign - American Near Me - San Diego, California

Located at Seaforth landing, this was formerly the royal rooster . A good place to grab a bite after checking in for a fishing or whale watching trip out of Seaforth. Also good drinks are available here. Nothing beats a cold beer and burrito before you go fishing, imo. Solid food, reasonable prices. Their micheladas are very tasty. read more

My friend took us here after a day of boating Around Mission bay. I ordered the fish and chips as well as my husband. We didn't realize it was going to come in one huge piece of fish! Which we were very happily surprised with! It was very filling and definitely felt fresh quality from the water. This is a great, cute local to the marina vibe fish shop! read more

I recently visited Charlie's Landing while waiting for a well watching tour to start and had the chicken burrito. It was pretty good--great flavor and satisfying portion. The chicken was tender, and the overall taste was balanced, making for a solid choice. The chips were fresh and crispy, and the salsa that came with them was flavorful. However, I was expecting a bit more heat. It had a nice taste, but it was lacking that spicy kick that I usually enjoy with my salsa. Overall, it was a great meal and I'd recommend giving it a try for the chicken burrito and the great ambiance! The service was pretty good too. read more

This might be the best fried fish taco and fish burrito I've ever had. Super fresh. Other items are great too. Chill vibe in the harbor. Friendly service as well. Highly recommended! read more

We went on Friday after thanksgiving, it's tucked in between two building. Nice outdoor seating. Ordered the grilled chicken sandwich it was different but ok it had coleslaw on it. My hubs got the breakfast burrito and it's a decent size and had eggs, sausage and cheese. Staff was really nice and friendly. Definitely go if you want some breakfast or lunch near the water. read more

I can't, for the life of me, understand the strong reviews for this spot. Menu is extremely limited and really disappointing. From thecname, I expected a spot with fresh, locally caught fish dishes, but it's just kind of a basic fast food spot. Many drink choices. They were nice, but the food just wasn't great. We got a Burger and Fish Tacos. Burger was fine, tacos were bland, and all was overly salty. Generous 3 stars, but I wouldn't return. read more

The Fish burger pleasantly surprised me. Sunset view was sweet. (Do not know how to make up the required 85 characters.)

Wow, a very unassuming place from the outside but a really nice meal. I had the veggie burrito and a pomegranate mimosa. The burrito was $11 and was huge! It comes in a griddled tortilla. They brown up the cotija cheese before they put it in which was super delicious! Pomegranate mimosa was served in a big beer cup over ice. Also delicious. Line was long when I got there but food came out fast and hot. read more

Saw a video recommending this place. I'm picky about breakfast being good and reasonably priced. This place is very unassuming, but delivered big time on breakfast. The breakfast sandwich with a whole hash brown in it is so good! I got mine with sausage and it was so homey but elevated on the bun. I added cholula to mine for a little kick. We also got the avocado toast which was more of an open faced sandwich. It was so loaded up you had to use a fork and knife. The balsamic, pickled onion and bacon were delicious. They have coffee, teas, to-go lunch and sides and you can eat outside on their patio enjoying the calm bay and boats. They'll call when your order is ready, but we came about 9:30am on a Sunday and it was not busy- the server came out and delivered the food! Highly recommend- very easy and chill San Diego morning. read more

Easy ordering, outdoor seating with a view of the marina in the perfect San Diego weather - what more could you ask for? The person who took our order was friendly and efficient. Food was good. We had fish and chips. The piece of fish was enormous! 2 of us could easily have split the order. Fries were great. Would recommend if in the area! read more

Bear fish and chip plus amazing views great family lunch after Seaworld I always enjoy coming and then exploring the fishing shop next door

This place is truly a hidden gem! I was shopping at Seaforth Sportfishing next door for some last minute fishing gear before heading on a boat rental. Since we were going to be out on the water for a couple hours I thought it would be a good idea to grab something to-go since it was already close to noon. That was the best decision I've made in a long time because I think I just discovered the best fish tacos in San Diego. This taco beats all the Mexican shops I have gone to. The biggest difference I can tell is the way they fry their fish. At all the other shops, I can really taste the oil on the fish but this one isn't oily at all. Something about this fish taco is extremely fresh. The ratio of the toppings were just right and the flavors were just excellent! They have an outdoor patio with a great view of the boat docks and plenty of seating. This seems like a newly opened establishment as everything seemed new and clean. I really really want to come back here and try their other menu items. Their menu looks small but like the other review said, everything is quality. I can't recommend this place enough! read more

Charli's Landing is the replacement business for another fast-casual waterfront eatery that had operated out of Seaforth Marina in Mission Beach. One of the first things that struck me was the pleasant attitude of the employees which was a stark contrast to its predecessor. You order at the service counter inside the suite and then if you wanted to dine on-site, there were several tables under a covered outdoor deck. The menu was fairly basic but suited the needs of those who wanted to spend a day on or near the water. There were five breakfast choices, nine lunch/dinner options, and four items on the kids menu. I showed up just before the start of the lunch hour and asked if I could order the Grilled Fish Tacos. The kitchen accommodated my request even though it was still late breakfast time which I appreciated. Two flour tortillas were each stuffed with a whitefish fillet, slaw, baja sauce, pico de gallo, and cotija cheese. A side of tortilla chips and green salsa came with the order. These grilled fish tacos were the largest I have eaten in a while, and the serving size justified the $15 price. I consumed one of the juicy tacos on the spot and then saved the other for later. I rated my takeout experience at Charli's Landing with 4.5 stars. read more

Walking along the marina, we were getting hungry. The place was cacant last tine we came, so im not sure how long theyve been open. No inside seating available, but they had umbrellas at some tables. We enjoyed the shade on a warm afternoon. Bathrooms were clean which is unusual if they are public bathrooms. I'm not sure if they are for the restaurant only. I think I'd call it American food, although my hubby had the fried shrimp burrito. I'm not gonna lie, it didn't sound great but it was actually very tasty. Totally would order that again. I had the smash burger and onion rings. The burger was good but the onion rings were great! Service was good, our food was ready pretty quickly. Great place to people or bird watch. read more

Wonderful family spot with a view and delicious food ! Loves the fish tacos the best , the soup was not very good but I would come back again ! read more

Nice lunch/ breakfast spot right in front of the water. They have shaded covered seating area but also in the sun near the water. Menu is simply but made well. Music is amazing, they play soja, the green, stick figure (Hawaiian music) Love the vibe here. read more

When I say this is one my of most memorable (and possibly the best ever) breakfast sandwich I've ever had, I mean it. This place is living rent free in my head for life. Truly. Don't be fooled by the simple menu and serve ware. The breakfast here is absolutely amazing. I had the breakfast sandwich, my husband had a breakfast burrito, and my son had a smash burger and everything came out hot, fresh, and absolutely impeccable. I don't know what's in the sauce they use, but it truly makes each dish extra delicious. The restaurant itself is super simple with outdoor seating along the dock. They also serve lunch/dinner and this place definitely parties with the offer of a fireball bucket. I'm definitely too old for that now but my younger self would absolutely love to just sit at the dock with one of those and a piping hot smash burger - with friends of course. It's super close to SeaWorld, so if you're an earlier riser (SeaWorld doesn't open until 10) stop by for breakfast before heading in! We had our breakfast, got an excellent parking spot, and were able to walk on for a few of SeaWorlds best rides. The service was also excellent - very friendly staff, and prompt service. For some reason, it really felt like everyone in San Diego hated their jobs lol. The staff here were the first friendly service staff we had seen in San Diego while on our trip. Don't sleep on this place! read more

Charli's Landing - Fish and chips and hazy was amazing! Great little spot with nice outdoor seating and views. - American Near Me - San Diego, California

This place is an absolute yes. The staff is so nice and welcoming. The food is delicious. My husband got a smash burger and absolutely loved it- so delicious and juicy and the fries were perfect. I got the grilled fish tacos. They were so flavorful- adding the red salsa definitely took it up a notch. Kids split a burger and they both ate every bite, we probably could've done one each. The ambiance is fun because it seems to be a popular spot with the incoming fishermen. We got there at 6 when a bunch were coming in and we got to see all they caught. The seating is outdoors and some people were smoking cigars but thankfully the smoke was blowing the other way. We would come back, it was an enjoyable meal. read more

It was next door to Legacy whale watching cruise. Charli's Landing offers varieties of food such as burger, tacos, etc. I have only tried their burger. I would say the burger was very good. There is plenty of meat and tasty Americam cheese in between. The bun was tasty as well. Between the buns and the burgers were decked with thin slices of pickles, and they were not too salty. The fries were sprinkled with sea salt. They were alright. The service was fine, and the food was served within timely manners. It is considered a 100% self-serve fast food; if you are trying to justify why you should not tip. They offer plenty of alcohol and non alcoholic beverages; more than food. I would recommend not to consume any alcohol before the boat ride, unless you want to share your burgers with the sea habitants. Overall. It's a 4.1 out of 5. Not great, but good. read more

We were looking for a casual restaurant with a view and this place definitely fit that description. There is only outdoor seating so on a nice day, this would be a nice place to sit in the patio area and enjoy the view of Mission Bay and the food here. We came here for dinner and got the fish tacos, Caesar salad with shrimp, and a chicken burrito. The food tasted good but it's heavier than what I am used to. I shared the salad and fish tacos with my mom and as I am writing this review the next morning, I am still full. My husband enjoyed his chicken burrito but complained he was stuffed the whole night. The portion sizes looked average so I do think it's the sauce or something that made the food heavy. Service was good though the food took a little longer than expected. The prices are very reasonable. read more

This place was such a great spot to go on a Saturday morning! We took our dog with us and sat outside at the tables. It was fast service and nice people! Great view of the water. Right next to the whale watching tours. The breakfast sandwich was incredible. It literally melted in our mouths. It came with egg, meat, sauce, and a crispy hash brown inside the brioche bun. One of the best breakfast sandwiches of all time. Easy to eat here and then go for a little scenic walk after read more

Amazing food!! A must try, fish tacos and fish & chips were huge and bomb! This place is a hidden gem on the marina - go scope it!

Charlie's landing is a fun, causal place in Mission Bay which is a lovely short walk from the Dana at Mission Bay motel and the harbor. I met a friend in San Diego and we went here on our first night for an early dinner. The Caesar salad with shrimp was delicious down to the last bite. We both got it! No regrets! They have "mixed beer" specials and you have go to see for yourself! I also popped by alone on my last morning in Mission Bay! They open early! The avocado toast was the best I ever had and I make it good at home, friends! The view, the cool staff, good vibes, and the food cannot be beat. read more

We were staying at Paradise point resort and wanted something outside of the vicinity. Found this spot on yelp and seen they had 5 stars. It's up the street from sea world. The staff were very friendly. Prices were pretty good considering how expensive everything is these days. The food though? Delicious!! I had the smash burger with the fries and my husband had the grilled fish tacos. Everything was very fresh and flavorful. There's no inside seating but there was patio seating right infront of the boat docks. It was very peaceful and cute. My husband and I played a couple of rounds of corn hole before our food came out. I definitely recommend trying this place out. read more
