This little unassuming roadside place is by far THE BEST MEAL of the weekend! We decided to take a drive up the coast, didn't have a lunch plan, and weren't interested in the big touristy looking places. This looked cute and a quick search on the iPad showed lots of people thought well of it, so we decided to give... More

This is a casual restaurant / seafood purveyor that offers you a wonderful view of the Pacific Ocean while you are eating on a patio. We stopped off here for a late lunch after a business meeting. I had the best ahi tuna burger for $12.00; it was simply prepared with perfectly cooked ground tuna, tartar sauce, lettuce and tomatoes... More

If you're fresh from the beach in your flower print board shorts (and a t shirt please) wearing your flip flops and caked in sunscreen, this place is for you, Green-dog. Its casual, man! Stand in line, choose your meal, pay, then pick up your food at another window... No wait staff here! The food is good but the place... More

Found out about this place on tripadvisor. Good thing, because it was amazing! My wife and I were on our way back from the Strawberry Festival in Oxnard and decided we would try this place. First off, the location cannot be beat. It is located right off PCH with a view of the ocean. The atmosphere is amazing. Outdoor seating... More

We were so happy to find this place for lunch after driving from Santa Monica to Malibu. We were looking for a reasonably priced seafood lunch, and that's exactly what we found here. After ordering from the counter and getting a buzzer, we found a table outside and waited about 10 minutes for our food. I had the grilled red... More

Excellent food with down-to-earth atmosphere but beautiful view. I had a lobster, 8oz clam chowder and small fish and fries, and they were all fresh and delicious. Lobster and clam chowder were especially delicious- very fresh and rich. The line can be a little bit long depending on the time (I went at round 7~7:30PM on Thursday, line was very... More

It has more people waiting than in an hospital urgency room. Maybe the food is ok, but sure that after waiting for one hour you will find the food wanderfull but that will not be true

This is truly a hut across the street from the beach. You will stand in line to order, stand in line to pick up your food and have a hard time parking. The restroom is in the back. Ha! Ha! Wonderful food...sweet staff...view of the ocean!! The food is amazing...that is why it is the #1 restaurant in Malibu.

We went there for lunch. The view, and food was wonderful. It is crowded, you must wait for your food for a while, but worth waiting. They only have one brand beer, it was ok. Lemonade was very refreshing.

Pull off Pacific Coast Hwy. and have lunch or dinner at this authentic fish shack.Vary busy on weekends but worth the wait. Parking lot may be full but you can park on the highway shoulder but watch out as cars pass by at 55-60mph! Everything on the menu is good and fresh. I simply order clam chowder soup and a... More
