    Dallas Moore performing.
    Dale P.

    This was my first visit to this establishment and I took my mother to this establishment so we could have evening rations the evening of the 9th of April 2026. We were greeted and seated. I noticed that a significant amount of items on the menu were listed as "market price." We both ordered the Fried Seafood Combo which consisted of Shrimp, Fish (Tilapia) and Clams. My mother had the Clam Chowder and Baked Potato and I had the Green Salad and French Fries. I had Blue Cheese dressing for the salad as well as dip for the French Fries. We both had "wooder" to drink. Service was very good. However I was disappointed that Pepsi was not available. My mother was happy with her meal and I was happy with mine. In fact I consider the food so good that it was worth the diarrhea that followed. Men's washroom was clean and paper towels were available... good. A musician named Dallas Moore was at this establishment for a performance. If I was to assign a letter grade as is done in school, this establishment would get an A-.

    Very unique place. Great food and drinks. Live music. Fun staff !! We had such a great night! Swordfish off the hook. Definitely will be back when we visit. Watched football, Hockey and danced !! And great sit down dinner !!

    Okay listen -- if you haven't been here yet, what are you doing?! The food? Incredible. The bartenders? Amazing. The service? On point every single time. And the vibe? So good -- especially with music Thursday through Sunday. It's the kind of place you go once and immediately want to come back. The burgers are HUGE, juicy, and made exactly how you like them. The lobster and crab legs? Massive. The filet mignon with veggies and potatoes (plus soup or salad!) -- chef's kiss. And let me tell you about the clam chowder... it's my forever favorite. Made from scratch and you can absolutely taste the love in it. Trust me -- go hungry, bring friends, and thank me later. You will not be disappointed.

    I'm not a seafood person but I was with a large group and this place was reserved. It's a dive bar with some seating and very casual beach feel. Staff, in particular Chico, was awesome and friendly. Food is very expensive and the quality is just okay. Probably unwise to get pasta on my end. The portion was far too small for it being 27 bucks. I probably should have settled for a burger.

    Just another amazing Friday night at King Neptune's! It's hot outside so this evenings menu was a bucket of Michelob Ultra. They were out of swordfish this evening so the backup plan was the soup/ green salad combo. It hit the spot. Perfect combination of refreshing and comforting warmth. The salads are very nice sized. And the beautiful thing is they're pre tossed so you don't spill 1/2 of it trying to get the dressing throughout. Dressings are home made and spectacular. The band tonight was spot on and had everyone dancing. Service was AMAZING! The younger gentleman said they were short staffed but with his hustle, you would never know. And THAT is why we keep coming back!

    Great food , great service, and live entertainment! The clam chowder was amazing and the fried shrimp was so fresh and delicious! #midnightramblers rocked it! Great music to dance to and make a night out a blast ! Thank you Curtis and Juan for taking good care of us! 5 stars customer service!

    Dirty, nasty environment. Very hot in the summer. Food only mediocre. Service too. Not a good selection of bands that play there.

    I like dive bars, but to pay $9.00 for a draft pacifico is ridiculous! The place needs some real clean up! it is not the Ritz!

    No ambience and the food was not good. I think at one time it had to been much better for people to still want to go there.

    Adding this review in hopes that it helps keep this establishment in business in our modern age of…read moreusing Yelp as a deciding factor when deciding where to spend money: Born and raised in Orange County California my entire life. Upon reaching the typical age one enters when finally gaining the ability to drive; I think like most Californians, we all inevitably can recall a moment in time taking a cruise along Pacific Coast Highway. Depending on what you are looking for, going south bound on PCH leads into the more cleaner and elevated sights, sounds, and locations that is for sure a particular atmosphere for a specific demographic. On the flip side, going North is a unique contrast that offers a completely different experience compared to the South all the way towards Long Beach with Palos Verdes and the Palos Verdes Estate being that upper echelon checkpoint. Among the various beach cities you will find going South, the incorporated Mini City of Sunset Beach, which is similar in size to say Midway City, you may or may not encounter the dive bar known as Turcs. It is a rather small establishment that can understandably be missable due to its size, but unlike the modern cookie cutter building designs being made as a constant change in Orange County this building stands out with its eye catching exterior design. I took the leap finally going to the place since every time I drove past it, I would always imagine what the inside looked like. Safe to say the drapes match the curtains as the atmosphere is unique as it gets. I made the decision to venture in there during those hours where one should typically be at work on a weekday. Not sure what the vibes are like on weekends, but I'd like to believe that those off-beat hours ensures an experience and encounters you would never be able to have. The saying of "When in Rome, do as the Romans do" is applicable in that regard as the mighty "Romans" aka Locals of Sunset City will be the usual patrons during those times. I cannot vouch exactly on what to expect, but all I can say is that if you enter with an open mind and receptive heart, you will be welcomed with open arms as if you were family. It's an absolute gem with a long standing historical presence that has survived the test of time. A Christian Epstein, who is a prolific local historian of the area, like segment on establishments highlighting the culture and memories of the people for the people. Every story has its end, so come here to both live and add to it before it becomes too late.

    I really like this place. My husband and I first went 1 year ago and then again last month. When we…read morewalked in it reminded both of us of the log ride at Knott's. Sounds silly, but it did! It just has that log ride smell to it and not in a bad way. They have two pool tables and a juke box. The bar top isn't very big. There's only about 6 or 7 seats if I recall correctly. There is more seating where the pool tables are as well as a little patio.
