Eric's On the Pier

Joselin Romero

If you love micheladas get one here! It’s authentic Mexican taste they make it to the order not premade mix. 10/10 Michi, we only had fries for food but they were good :) and the spot has good views. Will be coming back here only for beers!

Best place to get fish and chips, funnel cake and burgers. Awesome view of the ocean. Prices are good and food was great. Higjly recommend. #ericsonthepier #avalon #catalinaisland

Traditional lunch spot for tourists like us, right on the pier. Pricey but very good. If you’re a carnivore, try their famous Buffalo Burger. It’s delicious. Pro tip: the double patty version only costs $1 more than the $9.75 single(!) If you’re staying overnight you can get their food “to go” and take it back to your room to enjoy. You also eat (and drink) right there on the pier.

Burgers and onion rings are okay. But they don't do combos no drills basic food. Normally has a line.

The best, crispest, freshest, I'm the first customer today。I will miss it and come back again

Fish and chips were the best. They used battered fish as opposed to breaded, and we loved them.

Lovely fish, crispy batter and really good chips. Very clean store, friendly staff, and a really interesting menu selection.

Came to the island for the day with friends. Didn’t want to wait in a restaurant just wanted a quick bite and then off on our adventure. Didn’t expect anything amazing here, just good food and service. The lady taking our orders told us “no”with attitude, asked to sun onion rings for fries no , extra plate no, knife to cut or burger no. All our burgers were drowning in mustard, had to wipe it off. Great views along this pier

In name, Eric's on the Pier delivers, because it's on the dang pier. It's right there! You can't miss it. I had a double cheese burger and a coke for $11. It was good. I could have saved $3 if I had paid cash and had a water instead. I'd eat here again fur-sure!🤘🏼

After reading through other reviews I thought the staff was very friendly and kind. They walked us through the menu and they were polite and kind. So maybe it's certain individuals? 🤔 I thought this place was cheaper and had better food than the other restaurants. We did a lot of scouting and even though there was limited seating it was with it. The claim chowder was awesome and was hot and full of flavor. It was a good size portion. My wife loved the fish and chips and she wanted to take home their tarter Sauce! 🤣 My brother got the onion rings, but even though they were good he wished he had gotten the fish and chips! I liked their fries but they were soft. I prefer crunchy fries but I found them comparable to mc Donald's fries. My wife loves the soft fries but I'll let you decide! Overall I would recommend this place, good good, good service. Something to work on; prices and seating availability.

Fish and fries— no chips! Fish was cooked well and tasty. They say your # good luck hearing it… pier is full of people and seats are not very comfortable. Hard wood bar stools. Kids screaming. Very loud. Not a lot of room to eat.

We’ve been coming to Catalina for vacation on our sailboat for 25 years and we rarely miss Eric’s. My son and I always get the buffalo burger. Slightly gamey and very simple. We like it and you can wash it down with a cold beer. Is it a gourmet burger? No. Will it be the best burger you’ve ever eaten? Unlikely. But the location on the pier is convenient and you can’t ask for a better view. It’s expensive, but it isn’t fast food in a strip mall. Catalina is a small island tourist destination where all the food for the island comes over by sea. Everything on the island is expensive. In my experience, if a reviewer thinks the food is overpriced that tends to color their whole experience. I can’t tell you if the onion rings are frozen or not, but they’re good. I don’t like thick battered onion rings or greasy soggy ones and I’ve never gotten a bad order. My wife gets the tacos and she wouldn’t say they are the best, but she enjoys them. We like Eric’s for its amazing location, simplicity and the vibe! Did I mention the cold beer?!

Had the fish tacos, were ok. Very nice scenic area and other water sport rentals on the pier.

Man I was excited to try the fish n chips but it was so average, even below average. It honestly tasted old and refried. Don't be fooled by the crowds .. if it's Fish n Chips ur after, head to end of the pier. That place has way better fish but it's less crowded.

I'll start by saying it was my very first time visiting the beautiful Catalina island, and I had a blast there. My family and I wanted a quick bite, so we decided to eat here at Ericks on the pier. I know inflation has kicked in hard, but man, $78 bucks for 2 plain burgers for the kids, a sope plate for the wife, and fish-n-chips for myself was just crazy. however, I gave it the benefit of the doubt due to a good smell coming from the place, but the food was not that great, honestly the fish and chips were good but im the type of person that loves seasoning and that was not there. My wife said the sopes were not amazing, but they were decent. And my kids said their burgers were okay. We all agreed that the chips or fries, whatever you may call them, were way too soggy and not seasoned what so ever. Prices didn't match from online to the actual menu, so that needs to be updated for sure. Im not saying that the food was nasty at all it just didn't meet my standards and wasn't worth the money respectfully.

First of all, the first thing you see when ordering is the girls face taking the order terrible service, straight face no smile, no greetings nothing, customer service is very important when working with people. Clam chowder wasn't good don't recommend. On the other hand fish tacos were good!! Will I come back to this restaurant absolutely not, there's better out there with better service.

So overpriced, fries $5.75 for a $1.50 everywhere else place, small and NOTHING special. Water $2.25 when next door same 16oz bottle $1.50, they are a rip off, burger fries a soda with an ice cream $45. If you can, go ANYWHERE ELSE. There is restaurants around for a way less per meal. Never again. Believe me, has NOTHING special.

The food and drinks were deceptively disappointing for the price. The menu did not match what was ordered. The customer service was terrible. When I visit Catalina Island again , I’ll keep walking past this place.
