I love their sweets available. I ate there 3 times in 48 hours because there was a nice variety and also the sweets. I had the lemon blueberry tart, the mixed berry cheesecake, and also the buckeye pie. I also had the bratwurst, sweet potato fries and we had breakfast as well. Everything was delicious.

What an amazing find!! The staff was so nice & the food is excellent! We ordered the Wild & wet chili dog (beef hotdog) and captain’s 911 kraut without the bun for gluten free allergy, delicious!!! Multiple gluten free options available. Muffins and pies and everything looks amazing! You sit and eat and people watch, cool little restaurant and we definitely can’t wait to visit again soon!

If you’re looking for a delightful place to grab a bite at Balboa Island, Crocker's should definitely be at the top of your list of places to eat in the Newport area! The owner is very helpful and made us laugh! Definitely great customer service and suggestions. What we tried: 🥣 Clam Chowder (so good) 🐟 Beer Battered Cod (light & crispy) 🥒 Fried Zucchini (great substitute for fries) 🥧 Pecan pie (warmed) Everything was delicious!

Great nostalgic spot on Balboa Island. Simple classic diner style dogs, burgers, and fries combined with a coffee shop/ bakery. It's definitely worth an afternoon lunch, or evening desert and coffee.

Small place but good food. They are known for their hotdogs which were tasty! They have a large selection of baked goods. I didn't love the chocolate chip cookies and will try a milkshake next time. My husband got the turkey melt panini and said it was yummy. The turkey was sliced thick and the avocado was fresh. Also came with grilled mushrooms. My little one had a breakfast plate and the eggs were good. Limited seating but we, surprisingly, got an outside table for the 4 of us without waiting.

Pleasant surprise on Balboa. Pretty good food and excellent coffee. My wife got the spinach and egg plate and I got the classic. We will definitely be back.

This was one of the greatest clam chowders I've ever had in my life. The bread for the bread bowl was so buttery and fresh, the soup itself was seasoned well with rosemary and tasted amazing. It was overall the best food I've had on Balboa island...10/10 would recommend.

Thanks for the free cookie, I liked my turkey pesto melt :) wish there were spoons we could take to eat the coleslaw/ salad side though.

We come to Wilma’s every time we visit Balboa, and it never disappoints. Their chili might be my favorite, but their sandwiches, salads and breakfast are fantastic as well. Don’t skip the fries and onion rings either! Definitely check this place out if you’re looking for a low-key meal that will never disappoint.

The Crab Benedict was rich and flavorful, the blueberry pancakes were fluffy, and the prime rib sliders were tender and juicy. Portions were generous, and the laid-back vibe made it a perfect spot to fuel up before exploring the island.

The fries were yummy and the burger was great (so happy they had a turkey patty). Waiter was particularly pleasant and split the plate we were sharing.

First time here won't be our last. Food was excellent. We had the stroganoff and the sourdough burger with cottage fries and onion rings for appetizer. Our waitress was so nice. Great place to eat. They serve breakfast all day and so much to choose from on the menu.

We came for a late morning Saturday brunch. We ordered the Belgian Waffle with strawberries and cream, eggs and bacon on the side and Spinach Egg White Scramble with hash browns and toast. Great food, excellent friendly service, and a cool atmosphere. I gotta say there is one thing not quite right with Wilma's Patio, just one thing, probably not a big deal to others, but to me, it's hard to get past it. The sign out front, there is an apostrophe before the possessive 's' and unfortunately the sign maker created a huge open space between Wilma and the s. As a graphic designer, this is painful. A little kerning would solve it.

When we arrived there was an approximate wait of 20 minutes. That didn't matter at all because there are plenty of things to see and do while waiting. The place is perfectly nestled near the corner and on a very well foot traffic location. We were taken to our table and immediately just walking in we realized that the environment and atmosphere were perfect for a brunch with friends. We ordered our food and it was not long at all that the food came out hot and in no time at all. There was really good portions for the price. The staff was very attentive and always checking on us making sure we had everything we needed. Definitely a very quaint place to visit and have some really good hometown food.

Lunchtime at work celebrating a co workers birthday and she wanted Fish and Chips. Welp she searched and found this restaurant. The Yelp reviews looked promising so here we go I got the Italian Chicken Mozzarella sandwich (without the pesto). Very tasty and of course the cheese 😋. She got fish and chips. Also some zucchini bites and the clam chowder. The chowder is very good, bites are average but fine and the fish and chips were ok because it’s not beer battered so she was let down a bit, but again still good. On a scale of 1-10 I would give it a 7. We had it delivered so I can’t comment on the atmosphere or service. Give it a try I believe you will like it.

Stopped in for breakfast while visiting Balboa Island for the day. It’s a nice, laid back spot that has a menu with plenty of options. I wound up getting the avocado toast, which was very tasty. My only criticism is that I asked for no tomatoes at all and there were still tomatoes on the plate. Thankfully I’m not allergic, so I just ate around them. Overall, happy with our visit and would definitely go back again.

Small, but quaint Cafe type establishment. Good food, not a bad price (considering you're on Balboa Island) & decent portions. The BLTA was Delicious! And the locale & scenery, just lovely. And for those not familiar, the public restrooms are at the Fire Station.

While checking out the Christmas decorations on Balboa Island, we stopped at Wilma's for Happy Hour. The Red Ale was good. Since they ran out of chicken, it was easy to order, had all beef, no chicken. All the HR tapas were good: Mini crispy tacos and Taquitos. Restaurant was clean and has a nice ambiance. Staff was friendly and attentive. Sat in the front area since it was a nice day and lots of people were walking Marine Ave.

Wilma's Patio is a nice restaurant on Balboa Island. There restaurant is spacious and has plenty of seats. The menu has food items for different palates. You will find something to satisfy your cravings. I got the fried zucchini sticks for my appetizer, which was delish!!! The house ranch was yummy. I always appreciate homemade ranch. I got the prime rib dip with house fries (the best fries), and my husband got the Reuben sandwich. Nice portion and, and everything tasted delicious.

Our breakfast at Wilma's Patio was delicious and mostly affordable especially given inflation and prices going up. The restaurant is quite large with a few seating outside. We were seated quickly on a Wednesday morning. The staff is friendly and attentive. Their menu is extensive. My husband and I ordered tge oatmeal, French toast and a side of hash browns. The orange juice is freshly squeezed. The French toast was yummy along with the oatmeal. Wish the oatmeal was hot though. The hash browns were crispy and for $5 you get a full plate of it. With so many restaurant increasing their prices, here at Wilma's we were pleasantly surprised that the prices were so reasonable. Would definitely come back.

I ordered the parmesan parsley onion rings and a small individual apple crumb cheesecake. The cheesecake was tasty, but the onion rings were terrible. $9 wasted. They were fried to a hard crisp. While I saw the powdered cheap parmesan and parsley on the rings, there was no flavor of parmesan, parsley or even onion. I want to see and taste the onion in my onion rings. These were just burnt batter basically, no hint of onion. The ranch dip was generic tasting too. The restaurant is very small with limited seating. They have a large menu and alot of dessert choices, which they said are made at their other restaurant.

Everything was fine until we were finishing up with our drinks and needing to rest before getting up and driving. When we were pushed the check, we could hear the waitress reserving our table for other people making us feel rushed. the owner and the waitress promised this couple our table. Even though the couple was fine and even suggested sitting somewhere else. Another five minutes go by and the waitress comes by again waiting the table. My mom 60 yr* is still tipsy and doesn't feel comfortable getting up yet is now getting upset. Another five minutes go by. And even the owner comes to check-up on the couple pologizing to them *for the wait, right in front of us... the guy of the couple was insisting, they didn't have to sit there. The owner noticing our uncomfortableness, laughed at us as we walked away. Yes, bc after hearing that we did indeed feel insulted enough to get up and leave. That's not how you treat people or your customers.

We went to Balboa Island for a little day trip & stopped in at Wilma’s Patio. I ordered The Feast which included a grilled cheese sandwich with avocado and tomato & cottage chips. I thought the cottage chips (fries) were very plain. Not much to them. They looked cute but needed some kind of seasoning or salt on them. The grilled cheese sandwich was okay. Nothing too special I guess. Two friends in our group ordered Turkey sandwiches, one friend ordered a fruit plate. Everyone was okay with their sandwiches but no one really loved them. This place was kind of a miss for the group. We heard their breakfast was really good though.

# Wilma's Patio: Un Refugio Culinario en el Corazón de Balboa Island, Newport Beach

En la pintoresca y vibrante Marine Avenue de Balboa Island, en la codiciada ciudad de Newport Beach, California, se encuentra Wilma's Patio, un establecimiento cuyo nombre evoca la promesa de un ambiente acogedor y una experiencia gastronómica memorable. Ubicado en las coordenadas 33.6059279, -117.8900147, este restaurante no es solo un punto en el mapa, sino un pilar de la comunidad y un imán para quienes buscan saborear la esencia del estilo de vida costero del sur de California. Aunque los detalles específicos de su historia y su menú exacto se entrelazan con la rica narrativa de su entorno, su existencia en un lugar tan emblemático habla volúmenes de lo que representa para sus visitantes y residentes.

El Encanto Atemporal de Marine Avenue

Marine Avenue es el pulso comercial y social de Balboa Island, una calle que encapsula el encanto de un pequeño pueblo costero con la sofisticación inherente a Newport Beach. Es una vía donde las tiendas boutique, las galerías de arte y los cafés pintorescos se suceden, creando un ambiente idílico para pasear y explorar. En este escenario, un restaurante como Wilma's Patio se convierte en más que un simple lugar para comer; es un punto de encuentro, un lugar para relajarse y observar la vida pasar, y una parte integral de la experiencia de Balboa Island.

La avenida es conocida por su ambiente relajado y su naturaleza amigable para los peatones. Los visitantes pueden disfrutar de un paseo tranquilo, admirando las casas históricas de la isla y las vistas al agua, antes de detenerse para una comida o un café. La presencia de Wilma's Patio en esta arteria principal sugiere una oferta culinaria que se alinea con el espíritu de la isla: accesible, de calidad y con un toque de hospitalidad hogareña. El "Patio" en su nombre es una invitación implícita a disfrutar del clima templado de California, con la brisa marina como telón de fondo, haciendo de las comidas al aire libre una parte esencial de la experiencia.

Wilma's Patio: Más Allá del Nombre, una Experiencia

El nombre "Wilma's Patio" sugiere una conexión personal y un énfasis en la comodidad y la calidez. En un lugar como Balboa Island, donde la comunidad es un valor central, un establecimiento con este tipo de nombre a menudo se convierte en un favorito local, un lugar donde los rostros son familiares y el servicio es atento. El concepto de "patio" es fundamental para la experiencia californiana, donde el buen tiempo permite disfrutar de los espacios al aire libre durante gran parte del año. Esto implica que Wilma's Patio probablemente ofrece un ambiente relajado y casual, ideal para desayunos soleados, almuerzos ligeros o cenas informales bajo las estrellas.

La ubicación del restaurante en Marine Avenue, en el corazón de una isla rodeada de agua, también influye en la posible oferta culinaria. Es lógico esperar que un establecimiento en esta zona capitalice la frescura de los productos locales, especialmente los mariscos. Sin embargo, dado el perfil de Balboa Island como un destino familiar y turístico, es probable que su menú sea diverso, satisfaciendo una amplia gama de gustos, desde platos clásicos americanos hasta opciones más contemporáneas, con un énfasis particular en el desayuno y el brunch, que son muy populares en la cultura de ocio de California.

Wilma's Patio, por su emplazamiento, se convierte en un reflejo del estilo de vida de Balboa Island: relajado, pintoresco y con un profundo aprecio por la belleza natural y la conexión comunitaria. Es un lugar donde los lugareños pueden comenzar su día con un café y un desayuno, y donde los visitantes pueden sumergirse en la atmósfera de la isla mientras disfrutan de una comida.

Balboa Island: Una Joya Flotante en Newport Beach

Para comprender plenamente la esencia de Wilma's Patio, es indispensable conocer el contexto de Balboa Island. Esta pequeña isla, artificialmente creada y conectada a la península de Balboa por un puente y un ferry vehicular, es una de las joyas más preciadas de Newport Beach. Su historia se remonta a principios del siglo XX, cuando fue transformada de marismas a un vibrante destino residencial y turístico. La visión de sus desarrolladores fue crear un enclave que ofreciera un estilo de vida costero único, y lo lograron con creces.

Culturalmente, Balboa Island mantiene una identidad distintiva dentro de la opulenta Newport Beach. Se caracteriza por sus encantadoras cabañas de playa, muchas de las cuales han sido cuidadosamente preservadas o renovadas, conservando el encanto arquitectónico de antaño. Pasear por sus calles estrechas, admirar los jardines cuidados y sentir la brisa marina es una experiencia que transporta a los visitantes a una época más sencilla y relajada. La isla es famosa por su "Balboa Bar" y "Frozen Banana", delicias que se han convertido en sinónimo de la experiencia isleña, atrayendo a multitudes, especialmente durante los meses de verano.

Wilma's Patio, al estar inmerso en este entorno, no solo se beneficia del flujo de visitantes, sino que también contribuye a la atmósfera general de la isla. Se convierte en parte de la tradición, un lugar donde las familias han comido durante generaciones y donde los nuevos visitantes crean sus propios recuerdos. Su papel en la comunidad va más allá de la gastronomía; es un punto de referencia, un lugar para celebrar y un espacio para la vida cotidiana.

La Experiencia Culinaria en Balboa Island

La gastronomía en Balboa Island, y por extensión en Newport Beach, se caracteriza por su diversidad y su enfoque en productos frescos y de calidad. Dada su ubicación costera, los mariscos son, por supuesto, una parte fundamental de la oferta culinaria. Sin embargo, la isla también es conocida por sus acogedores establecimientos que sirven comida reconfortante, platos clásicos americanos y, muy notablemente, excelentes opciones de desayuno y brunch.

Un restaurante como Wilma's Patio, con su nombre amigable y su ubicación central en Marine Avenue, es probable que se especialice en crear un ambiente donde la comida sea solo una parte de la experiencia. Se espera un menú que combine lo familiar con toques locales, quizás con especialidades caseras que reflejen la personalidad de la isla. El énfasis en un "patio" sugiere una experiencia gastronómica relajada, donde los comensales pueden disfrutar de la luz natural y el ambiente animado de la calle.

La clientela de Balboa Island es variada: residentes locales que buscan su lugar habitual, turistas que exploran la isla por primera vez, y visitantes de las áreas circundantes de Newport Beach que vienen a disfrutar de su ambiente único. Wilma's Patio, al estar en el corazón de esta dinámica, probablemente atiende a todos ellos, ofreciendo un servicio amable y una cocina que apela a un amplio espectro de gustos. La frescura, la calidad y la presentación son factores clave en la escena culinaria de Newport Beach, y un establecimiento exitoso en Balboa Island sin duda se adheriría a estos estándares.

Un Vistazo a Newport Beach: El Contexto General

Newport Beach es mucho más que Balboa Island; es una ciudad costera de renombre mundial, sinónimo de lujo, estilo de vida náutico y belleza natural. Desde sus extensas playas de arena hasta sus exclusivas boutiques en Fashion Island y sus puertos repletos de yates, Newport Beach exuda una atmósfera de sofisticación relajada. La ciudad es un imán para el turismo de alto nivel y un hogar para una comunidad acomodada que valora la calidad de vida, las actividades al aire libre y las comodidades de primer nivel.

La reputación de Newport Beach como un destino de élite eleva el perfil de todos sus establecimientos, incluido Wilma's Patio. Los visitantes de la ciudad esperan excelencia, y los restaurantes en Balboa Island operan dentro de este marco de expectativas. La proximidad a la península de Balboa, con su muelle histórico y su animada escena de playa, y a las playas de Corona del Mar, ofrece a los visitantes de Wilma's Patio un sinfín de actividades para complementar su experiencia gastronómica.

Las actividades en Newport Beach son variadas: desde surf y paddleboarding en las tranquilas aguas de la bahía, hasta excursiones de avistamiento de ballenas en mar abierto. La ciudad también es conocida por sus eventos comunitarios, como el Desfile de Barcos Navideños, que atrae a miles de espectadores anualmente. Un restaurante como Wilma's Patio se convierte en parte de este tejido social y cultural, ofreciendo un lugar para reponer energías después de un día de exploración o para disfrutar de una comida antes de sumergirse en las festividades locales.

Aspectos Prácticos para el Visitante

Visitar Wilma's Patio implica sumergirse en la experiencia de Balboa Island. Para llegar a la isla, los visitantes pueden cruzar el pequeño puente que la conecta con el continente o, para una experiencia más pintoresca, tomar el histórico Balboa Island Ferry desde la península de Balboa. El ferry, que opera desde 1919, es una atracción en sí mismo, ofreciendo vistas encantadoras de la bahía.

Estacionamiento: El estacionamiento en Marine Avenue y en Balboa Island en general puede ser un desafío, especialmente durante los fines de semana y la temporada alta de verano. Se recomienda llegar temprano o considerar opciones de estacionamiento fuera de la isla y caminar, o aprovechar el ferry si se viene de la península de Balboa. Hay estacionamiento medido en la calle y algunos pequeños lotes públicos, pero la disponibilidad es limitada.

Horarios: Dada la naturaleza de Balboa Island y la popularidad de los desayunos y almuerzos en la cultura californiana, es probable que Wilma's Patio tenga horarios que cubran estas franjas horarias, además de la cena. Muchos establecimientos en la isla abren temprano para atender a los madrugadores y a quienes disfrutan de un desayuno relajado.

Reservas: Dependiendo de su tamaño y popularidad, las reservas podrían ser recomendables, especialmente para grupos grandes o durante las horas pico. Sin embargo, el ambiente de "patio" a menudo sugiere que también se aceptan clientes sin reserva, con un enfoque en la rotación de mesas.

Código de Vestimenta: El código de vestimenta en Balboa Island y en Wilma's Patio es, con toda probabilidad, "casual de playa" o "smart casual". La comodidad y la relajación son clave, reflejando el estilo de vida costero de la zona. No es inusual ver a comensales directamente de la playa o después de una actividad acuática.

Accesibilidad: La ubicación del restaurante en Marine Avenue (33.6059279, -117.8900147) lo hace fácilmente accesible para quienes pasean por la calle principal de la isla. La mayoría de los establecimientos en Balboa Island están diseñados para ser acogedores y accesibles, aunque las aceras pueden ser estrechas en algunas zonas.

Wilma's Patio y la Comunidad Local

Más allá de ser un destino para turistas, Wilma's Patio, como muchos establecimientos arraigados en Balboa Island, probablemente sirve como un importante centro comunitario. Es el tipo de lugar donde los vecinos se encuentran para ponerse al día, donde se celebran pequeños hitos y donde se siente el pulso de la vida local. Los restaurantes con una larga trayectoria en áreas tan unidas a menudo participan en eventos locales, patrocinan equipos deportivos juveniles o simplemente actúan como un punto de encuentro informal para la comunidad.

La longevidad de un establecimiento en un mercado tan competitivo como Newport Beach es un testimonio de su calidad, su servicio y su capacidad para conectar con sus clientes. Wilma's Patio, con su nombre evocador y su ubicación privilegiada, se inscribe en esta tradición, ofreciendo no solo comida, sino una experiencia que forma parte de la identidad de Balboa Island. Su existencia refuerza la sensación de hogar para los residentes y ofrece a los visitantes una auténtica probada de la vida isleña.
