We came in for brunch today(Saturday morning) we got sat right away because another party canceled. Cute eclectic restaurant. Staff were very friendly and service was spot on. I had the. Chilaquiles. They were great! The strawberry cream French toast was to die for. My husband's chicken biscuit sandwich was incredible. They have N/A beer which is awesome. Drinks were all great. Although The bloody Mary's needs some work. No one at our table completely enjoyed theirs. One of our friends got the basic breakfast and enjoyed his meal. He wished he knew the hash browns were those made like McDonalds. He wished someone told him because he would have ordered the other potatoes. All in all we had a great breakfast and really enjoyed our meal!

Amazing Views, Great Vegan Options & Stellar Service! OB Surf Lodge is the perfect spot for a laid-back meal with an unbeatable ocean view! We recently visited with a group for brunch that included several young kids, and I have to give a huge shoutout to our server though o can't remember his name. He handled our energetic crew with so much patience and kindness, making sure everyone was happy and taken care of. The food was fantastic! It's always a win when a beachside restaurant has solid vegan options, and OB Surf Lodge did not disappoint. The vegan Quinoa bowl was flavorful, fresh, and satisfying, and I appreciate that they had plant-based options for breakfast. There's something for everyone here, whether you're vegan, vegetarian, or just looking for a great meal by the water. Of course, the view is the star of the show--looking outside at the ocean and watching the waves roll in made for such a relaxing experience. This spot delivers on atmosphere, food, and service. We'll definitely be back!

Best chillaques ever!! Get these with carnitas. Everything mixed so well together! So good! My friends ordered their breakfast sandwiches which were huge! They came with potatoes. All of the portions here were big. The pineapple mimosas were also delicious. The service was friendly and efficient. Will definitely be back if in the area!

Been here plenty for drinks that are always pretty good!!! I loooove their garlic parm wings--super crunchy and a super good flavor. They also have a delicious fried goat cheese with honey that we go back for when we wanna treat ourselves. Today we went for brunch & it was pretty good--the avocado toast was good despite needing some salt and maybe a little more flavor, the eggs were cooked to perfection though. It was an interesting choice to put hollandaise on the salad but I wasn't complaining! Our waiter was lovely & attentive despite being busy. This is a great go to spot by the beach and is dog friendly on the patios :)
