    It was good, no complaints. The kids ate their chili cheese dog, fries, and burger. This was just a quick stop as we were still exploring Catalina. We had a 24 hour trip, and we wanted to make the most of it. We started our lunch off the ferry at Coney Island for a quick bite to continue exploring the island by foot. Good ambiance, good people, clean tables. Food was good, freshly made, nothing out of the ordinary.

    Hot dog, fish and chips

    Fish and chips were really crispy, tartar sauce was good. The condiments and toppings outside were not the freshest, saw bugs in it. Please change it out more often.

    Just the greasy grill we were looking for. French fries are McDonald's style and the portion is generous. Solid breakfast sandwiches. Great hot dogs.

    Hot dogs, drink and orange juice.

    Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon for some snacks for our group of 11. There was a line for ordering as well as a line for people waiting on their food. Great space in the patio for dine in. Although the eatery doesn't have many tables and chairs for dining, what they have is a good size to accommodate diners. Our order got called at the window for pick up within 30 to 45 minutes. The food pick up was staggered. We are a group of 11 and our food item orders all consists of cheeseburgers, hot dogs, turkey breast sandwiches, fish and chips, fries, ice cream on a cone and drinks. All food items we ordered was prepared at time of ordering. They were all fresh and hot. They missed 2 of our orders and forgot our root beer float. We will give Coney Island West another try on our next visit.

    Double cheeseburger

    Double cheeseburger was absolutely incredible. Juicy, fresh. Bun is unbelievable. One of the best experiences I had

    Chili Dog and Fish and Chips.

    No frills, just thrills. Wanting something simple after snorkeling. We wandered around to find this not-so-hidden gem. It is located on the corner of a very busy strip. Outdoor seating only, they accept cards, and refills are $1. We ordered a chili dog and fish and chips. The fish were perfectly fried; tender and flaky on the outside. The fries were standard. Gavin enjoyed his chili dog. I was thirsty so I went up to ask for a refill. At the front you can choose from a number of condiments, napkins, and I believe plastic utensils. I don't remember. All I remember was how comforting our meal was.

    Fries. Chicken wings and burgers

    This place is bomb! Hidden gem on Catalina fast and delicious everything is good located a ways down the main drag they also sell ice cream

    Yummy food & doesn't make you feel gross after eating! I preferred the chili cheese fries without heavy cheese lol- chili was good though. Service is good & you get a nice view of the island ppl while eating

    There's something that always seems to hit about a classic hot dog if you want a break from all the seafood. I ordered the bacon hot dog and loved how grilled it was compared to a basic hot dog. The bacon was also the perfect touch, although I wish it was a bacon-wrapped hot dog versus just a single strip of bacon. The service was fast and there's a few benches to sit down and eat which was very convenient. If you're looking for a quick spot and a break from the seafood, I would recommend Coney Island West.

    Cheese dog, pineapple dog

    Overpriced, mediocre, and part of the bun was wet and soggy... Costco does better for a $1.50 I guess if you're just looking for a quick snack this is fine but I would go find something else to eat.

    Burgers, hot dogs, fries, onion rings

    Everything was sooooo good. Traditional amusement park type food and taste. I was skeptical about the whole grain bun but it was very good on the burger. Food came out quick. Too many birds in the area so you have to be on guard 24/7 which is annoying but will always stop by when in Catalina!

    I come to Catalina occasionally for scuba diving and this spot is great for catching a bite to eat before heading back to the ferry. Food tasted great, especially the fries, staff were all friendly and efficient. Only outdoor seating, but in Catalina that's usually a good thing! Wish the prices met the portions a bit better but that's Catalina!

We were a large party of 14 adults and 2 children. Before entering, we specifically asked if children were allowed inside and were told they were, as long as they stayed seated at a table and did not sit at the bar. Based on that, we decided to come in. Some of our group had already ordered drinks at the bar, and we were given two tables.. Unfortunately, there was some kind of miscommunication with one of the servers. He apparently understood that part of our group was only going to sit at the table and not order anything. In reality, our entire group was there to order drinks; we simply weren't all ordering at the exact same time.. Instead of clarifying the misunderstanding, the server became extremely rude and kicked members of our party out while the rest of us were already ordering drinks. The way the situation was handled was completely unnecessary and unprofessional... It escalated so quickly that nobody wanted to argue or make a bigger scene, so the people who had not yet ordered simply left.. What makes this even more frustrating is that this was a large group of adults who were planning to drink.. With 14 adults and only two children, the restaurant easily lost hundreds of dollars in potential drink sales because of how the situation was handled... To be fair, the bartenders who helped us with our first round were actually nice and friendly.. Unfortunately, the interaction with the server completely ruined the experience for us. The drinks themselves also weren't anything particularly special... We probably should have asked to speak with a manager at the time, but everything happened so quickly that we just decided it wasn't worth the hassle.. We came in excited to check out a place we'd heard so much about, but unfortunately left extremely disappointed. Based on this experience, we won't be returning...

Once we were finally seated, another 15 minutes passed without a server acknowledging us. We asked a busser for water, and he said he would get our waiter. We watched him speak to a male waiter, who looked directly at our table but returned to chatting with the bartender. Four other nearby tables that had been seated after us were also left without service. When the waiter eventually headed in our direction, he walked past all of the waiting tables and stopped to talk with guests who had already been served. After sitting for 35 minutes without even receiving water or being greeted by a server, we left. The couple at the table next to us left as well. It truly felt as though the waiting tables were being deliberately ignored. There are many wonderful places to eat on Catalina Island, but based on this experience, I would avoid Topside.

The baked potato was on the drier side, and the brussels were small. The prime rib itself was good. Meaty cut and pretty tender. I wish the horseradish had more of a bite though. - FRESH CATCH OF THE DAY 3.5/5: I opted for the fresh catch booked with a lemon and garlic sauce alongside rice pilaf and asparagus.

I honestly have craved this salad once or twice already since leaving. Also had a great pesto type pasta, and a special shout out to their scallop potato that came with the lamb chop. Overall, food came out quickly, and the staff was very friendly - recommend for a casual dinner when you are on the island. Note that they only do bottled water.

The location is one block from the waterfront and features one large room with a full bar, dining room and then a bar with stools next to the open kitchen all with a nautical theme to it. The restaurant has a vibrant feeling to it. I ordered a cup of the clam chowder ($8) and upon the recommendation of the waitress pucker the seafood pasta ($32) for the entree. The chowder arrived about 5 minutes later and was perfect. Delicious, rich, creamy and flavorful, it was as good as any that I have had (5). The entree arrived about 15 minutes after ordering and had shrimp, scallops, clams and fish on spaghetti in a marinara sauce. Quantity wise it was plenty. Taste wise left me wanting a little more. First, I don't like fish in this dish and should have asked it not be included. My fault. I prefer just the shrimp, scallops, clams, etc. Also the marinara was ok in taste but not my favorite. I gave the entree a 3. I would have preferred it with the also available garlic butter and olive oil sauce instead. Service was very good. I am going to give a 4 score here because I think that my entree dislike was more of an anomaly than normal. I would be happy to return.
