Bacon and eggs for puppies
Stephanie P.

A super convenient location right next to the beach and their patio is dog friendly! Our hotel was next door so it was easy to walk over, get a table and order. The waitress was super friendly, brought our drinks out and a water bowl for our two dogs. We got the bacon and eggs for our pups and my husband and I both ordered Dave's Breakfast. We also got a side of French toast that had me regretting not ordering the strawberry French toast. The single serving of French toast was so soft and delicious! The breakfast was good, a classic scramble, potatoes, bacon and sourdough. It was filling and exactly what we needed to get us ready for the beach. The dining area outside is shaded and whilst not the AZ dry heat the humidity wasn't bad(I also carry a hand fan with me everywhere and it helped!). A bit pricey, our two meals, the two pup orders and I got two iced coffee drinks, it was over $100 plus tip. But good food and service nonetheless. I'd definitely visit again if in that area for their lunch menu or that French toast.

This is one of my favorite places located in OB. Located right below Wonderland is this oceanfront indoor-outdoor brunch spot. My favorite to continue to go back for is the cinnamon roll pancakes, comma. They also have an extensive dog menu, which is great for your furry friends to tag along too. The staff is always very friendly and tentative. They are always busy for weekend brunch with a line, but it moves pretty quickly depending on your group size. I've never had to wait more than five to ten minutes. Highly recommend the spot if you're looking for breakfast in OB.

Biscuit board with 3 different biscuits and flavored butters.
Mike M.

Loved our Sunday brunch here. Reservation are definitely helpful but not mandatory. The place is wide open with the window walls letting in the nearby ocean breeze. Beautiful water view from most tables. Service was excellent. Lots of both healthy and decadent choices. I had the carnitas Benedict and subbed in one of their jalapeño cheese biscuits for the English muffin. Delicious and a huge meal. I even bought a t-shirt as a souvenir.

Fried goat cheese salad with seared ahi tuna
Kate F.

They are right by OB beach and do have a large outdoor seating area with views of the water. I got the fried goat cheese salad and added on seared ahi. I really enjoyed it and would get it again . The tuna was seared perfectly and the salad had a great combo of flavors and who doesn't love fried goat cheese. We got the candied bacon to start which came with three slices and we would have described it as closer to a pork belly than bacon. My friends liked the mac and cheese. The Mediterranean wrap and burger got so so reviews. Our service was a little slow but we were a table of 10 so that tends to happen when you have a large group. They are dog friendly

CARNIVOROUS SCRAMBLE
Stephanie S.

Pleasantly surprised with OB Surf Lodge. We got there as it opened since I'm an early riser. By 9:30 there was a line to get a seat. Great view from our table of the water. There was chill oldies music not blasting in our ears so easy to make conversation. My partner got the Dave's combo and I got the carnivore scramble. Both were delicious. The bacon was perfectly thick (make sure to ask for it crispy). My carnivore was perfect but huge. I will be going back to try the biscuits and gravy we got a jalapeño biscuit to try and it was good.

Protein, pancake
Chinyere E.

I had a really great experience at OB Surf Lodge, especially because of the service and location. The service was amazing, and the staff made everything easy and welcoming from the moment we got there. The view is also a huge plus. Being right across from the beach made the whole experience even better. We had just gone surfing, and it was perfect that they were open early. We did not have to wait at all to be seated, which was a big win. They had a new special at the time, the protein pancake, so I decided to try it. In my opinion, it did taste like a typical protein pancake. It was still good, just not something I would personally order again. It was around twenty something dollars and a decent size, but it did not really fill us up before heading back out to surf. Overall, the service, location, and convenience really stood out. Next time, I would probably try something different on the menu, but it is still a great spot, especially if you are coming from the beach.

We got the açaí bowl and the avocado, bacon & cheese sandwich, and both were so good. Everything tasted fresh, the portions were great, and it was the perfect breakfast by the beach. Such a cute spot with a laid-back OB vibe. Definitely recommend and would come back!

Patio
Summer L.

This was such a fun place to come to for a delicious brunch in Ocean Beach! They have both inside and outside seating, and are dog-friendly (with a special menu just for your furry friend). The outdoor seating seems more like group seating -- there were some 2-4 person tables but a majority of the patio was bar-like seating (as seen in the picture of the view). Speaking of, the patio also has a really nice view of the ocean!! My boyfriend ordered the Steak and Eggs and I ordered the Dave's Breakfast. Our server was incredibly nice and friendly, ensuring to answer any questions we had about the menu in a knowledgeable way! I felt that it did take a little while for the food to come out (but it was also fairly busy so that's fine). The portion sizes were pretty large in my opinion -- I could not finish everything and had enough to take home as a second meal. Everything was also pretty flavorful, including their house made jam! Overall, the experience was really great and we will definitely recommend giving this spot a try if you are ever in the area!

The "Holly Berry".
Pete T.

OB Surf Lodge is one of our favorite spots when we crave breakfast (Waterfront and Broken Yolk are the others). Four of us were looking forward to a great breakfast and we found it at the Surf Lodge. We rolled into OB Surf Lodge just after they opened. We found seats at the bar on "the hook". The lovely and super cool Natalie was our bartender/server. We started with drinks. Bloody Marys for our friends, a Calidad Lager for me and Becky was intrigued by the seasonal drink The Holly Berry. (Cutwater Vodka, Pama Pomegranate Liqueur, Rosemary Simple Syrup, Cranberry Juice). She asked Natalie about it. Natalie said it was brand new to the menu so she hadn't yet tried it, nor had she made one yet. So this was the first! It was a pretty drink, garnished with an entire Christmas tree (rosemary sprig). Bex loved it! Well done Natalie! For food our friends split the Chicken Fried Steak with over easy eggs. (8oz Skirt Steak, Cremini Mushroom Gravy or Sausage Gravy, Two Eggs (Any Style), Sourdough, Breakfast Potatoes). Bex and I followed suit, but with scrambled. The kitchen split both into two plates for us. (Sausage gravy was everyone's choice). I added a biscuit with sausage gravy. Everybody absolutely loved their food. It was all perfectly executed. The Surf Lodge housemade biscuits are the best I've had. They are huge! They are really dense and hold up to the gravy, yet they are not heavy. I devored the entire thing and did not go into a food coma. Natalie was fantastic. Breakfast was fantastic.

Pesto Baked Eggs w/Machaca...delicious!
Kenny B.

Just got into town for the weekend, stopped for a little brunch with a view! Thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Pesto Baked Eggs for me and chilaquiles for my son. Fast and friendly service, highly recommended!

"Bread Pudding"
Mari S.

Initially, the Customer Service was great, friendly host and server. However, our serve (as sweet as she was) didn't really tend to us adequately. Our food was average, nothing to warrant seconds- I feel like the cost should reflect the taste. My Ahí Tuna tacos were beyond bland. However, the main event as to what lead me to this review was the "bread pudding". This was NOT bread pudding. This was glorified cake smothered in over indulgent sauce. The texture is not of what one would expect of bread pudding and all I tasted was sugat upon sugar. This was the one thing I was most looking forward to and extremely dissatisfied with. Albeit, this was the first time me visiting, so hoping it was a glitch, of sorts. However, not sure I'd go again.

Ron V.

Surprise! GREAT VIBE! Randomly pulled up with some friends I used to work with for lunch, and the shenanigans they let us have here was absolutely perfect! Pup friendly! Staff is super friendly! Food here hits the spot! We're near the water, so i had to get some kind of seafood goin on the salad !!!One of the ladies helped my homegirls out with the menu while showing our pup some luv. Will definitely make this place a regular stop whenever I'm in the area!

Chicken fried steak, Dave's breakfast, orange juice mimosas & chocolate chip pancakes.

I don't know where to start. Our hosts Shyla (hope I spelled your name right :) & Will our server, were patient with our table changing and such good energy and attitude. The champagne for mimosas was tasty. & THE FOOD was delicious. The beach to my right and the sun to my left was the perfect combination to a beautiful morning breakfast. The vibes were up and our belly's were full. More than enough food in a good way. We will be back.

Really delicious food but the portions are so tiny! So just a fair warning. Quite busy on a Friday…read morenight but we luckily made reservations and got seated maybe ~10 minutes after checking in. Food: - Flat iron steak: delicious and super tendy with a nice crust. Came with an arugula salad - Fish of the day: today was rock fish with a creamy panang/thai sauce and it was DELICIOUS - Duck: my table's favorite dish. You can make your own tiny tacos and the macha chili was seriously the best thing ever - French fries: nice horsestring fries, cant go wrong - Tuna crudo: super light and citrusy and flavorful, but only like 5-6 pieces - Chicken skewers: this honestly fell really flat. Would not recommend, i'd say it's the worst thing on the menu and surprisingly fell short. Doesnt feel like it belongs on the menu. - Brussel Sprouts: really good and unique with a peanut butter sauce - Mac and cheese: yummy but nothing special Overall was a great experience but I'd probably only come here on special occasions. Their drinks were also fantastic - the cantaloupe was super tasty. Shoutout Ola for being the best waiter!

Overview: 3.5/5 food hit or miss, service phenomenal, atmosphere beautiful…read more ---- Wednesday is all day happy hour! We got a large variety of dishes at a fraction of their usual price. The happy hour stand outs for me were the: - lamb meatballs $12 - this was the unanimous favorite amongst us, the flavors and juiciness of the meat was great ($4 per ball) - pork belly bao buns 3 for $16 - succulent and tender meat that basically melts in your mouth bc the fat in the best way, and the buns were super soft as well I enjoyed the flavor "crispy" brussel sprouts $10 but the texture was no where near crispy, they were cooked thoroughly but kinda mushy. The steak $25 was ordered as medium rare and was a bit too rare for our liking. But the fries were nice and crispy. The worst thing about the meal was the mac and cheese $8. We all tried it and agreed that it had issues with it being bland and having no depth of flavor, and the cornflake crumble tasted like old oil and stale cereal. Everyone's least favorite item of the night. ---- Notes: - we sat inside and there's not much air flow, it got pretty stuffy and hot during our meal - service was very attentive and charismatic, Dalton did a great job helping with allergy concerns - They were kind enough to split the bill in 3 but unfortunately charged me for an extra beer and I didn't notice it until after we had left - parking was okay, able to find paid street parking around the area ---- Overall: I reallyyyy wanted to like this place more, and I will probably give it another chance in the future bc I see such great potential. The food was just inconsistent btwn dishes with some being amazing and others subpar. If you want to try this place out definitely go on a Wednesday for their all-day happy hour bc their food at their regular prices wouldn't be worth it in my opinion.

We said we would wait for water but it never came around and they never checked up on it. I ordered the sampler that came with chilaquiles, beans, huevos rancheros, and corn tamal. When I ordered it, the server asked "and what would you like for your meat?" Her wording made it sound as if there was a protein that came with the chilaquiles. I was caught off guard at the end of the meal when I saw that there was a hefty (for the small portion) additional charge for the tough and flavorless carne asada. Maybe it wasn't intentional, but I think it would be better phrased as, "would you like to add protein?" for it to be less ambiguous. Nobody likes to be surprised with a higher bill than expected. I did not think the chilaquiles lived up its claim to be the best. It was pretty good, but the carne asada actually hindered it rather than helped it. Definitely get something else if you want to add protein to your dish. I was unhappy with the level of service, and the price didn't match the quality of the food. There are so many better spots in SD for Mexican food.

Sausage rolls were an absolute must. My only gripe was that it seemed like it was a bit understaffed for brunch on a Friday morning. There was only one waitress that we could see. Also the prices are quite high with additional protein options varying by dish rather than a generic price. For example, to add a protein to "The Cure" dish, it was only $3 but to add it to the French toast, it was an additional $7. Made no sense. Also the mandatory 4% credit card fee at a restaurant felt a bit tacky considering how much you're already spending on the meal. Overall, I'd still probably come back again but with cash.
