Best restaurant on the beach in Santa Monica. Outside seating with tables and chairs in the sand with a great view of waves, bikers and walkers. Great location right on beach with parking off PCH. Tasty food and good service

We came here for breakfast after arriving here in Los Angeles. I would recommend the California omelette, the vanilla and sourdough toast. I wouldn't recommend the back on the beach egg sandwich and my lady glass of water had lip stick on it

A cute cafe right on the Beach with a convenient parking lot. Try to arrive before 11 AM to get a parking spot and avoid the line. Reservation highly recommended if you have a big group. The parking rate is $3 an hour. The food was good - has both breakfast and lunch menu to choose from. I ordered the North African Shakshuka and it was flavorful. Service was attentive - the waiter came around several times to refill water and coffee. Note that the 18% tip is automatically charged on a big group.

This place is surprising great. Was not expecting good food on the beach but I had some of the best tacos ever here. Also had a Paper Plane that was great. Can’t beat the location either. You can dig your feet in the sand with the Pacific Ocean in front of you.

Great experience for brunch on a Sunday. We arrived before 10am, and sat outside on the beach, feet in sand. Eggs were light and fluffy, with a cream cheese addition I had not experienced in a scramble. They were incredible. Flavor profile is one thing to master, but keeping an egg scramble light, fluffy and creamy in the same bite is an art. The side of potatoes were the perfect flavor and consistency. A healthy portion that didn't allow me to finish the serving. Plenty for two people. Cocktails were a 4 of 5, and my chicken chorizo was slightly dry, but the overall experience was so enjoyable, it merits a 5 across the board. Delightful! Can't wait to return.

9/10 ⭐️ A lovely seaside brunch spot that’s dog friendly and quiet - can be a little chilly when the wind blows through. The Nutella French toast was a nice sweet side to the Omelette and biscuit combination we got. A great place to eat and chat with friends while visiting the nearby Santa Monica pier

A relaxed venue with excellent staff, great menu options and super friendly staff. We visited twice during our short stay in Santa Monica as we enjoyed it so much.

Excellent food and great service with a casual beach atmosphere. Choose the outdoor seating and you are on the beach watching the world go by.

Simply amazing ocean front cafe beautiful vibes. We just had bagel...French toast...for kids....a little waiting..but great footfalls and excellent ambience...sunsets are a great plus point. A pool behind and facilities of annemberg community centre especially parking is amazing. Great outdoor seating adds life to the experience.

I ate at Back on the Beach …the food was okay, nothing to rave about but nothing to complain about either. The highlight was the service; our server was really kind and attentive. I did notice lipstick on my glass, which was a little off-putting, but she handled it quickly and brought back a clean one without any fuss. Not a bad experience at all, just decent. Probably a good spot if you’re looking for a casual bite by the beach.

Nice experience since it is near a playground and the beach. It is better to go here when it is not as crowded but it is generally a good place to have brunch with friends and family. The food wa…

Got the black bean mushroom burger and a lemonade to go, to take to the pool nextdoor. Burger came out quick and was decent and filling... A little expensive but not crazy, and to be expected from a beachfront spot. I wouldn't come out of my way to come back here, but if I were by the pool and hungry I'd come back.

It took me 35 minutes to get to this restaurant and that’s how long I waited for food. This was a Saturday afternoon but it wasn’t busy. I ordered something simple but it never came. The server did…

We went there because some reviews claimed this place was dog friendly! As you arrive you quickly note the NO PETS signs, and they confirmed they do not allow dogs despite the large outdoor patio with tables nicely spaces apart. So for the record: NOT DOG FRIENDLY! Also make reservations, the lunch wait would have been 30 minutes.
