What People Are Saying About Back on the Beach

In Short – Easily accessed by in-line skates and bicycles, this relaxed beach cafe is filled with the sounds of international tourists and cell phone-toting Malibu moguls, accompanied by the roar of the tide. The kitchen turns out all-American favorites, including spicy mesquite chicken sandwiches and juicy grilled burgers, each served with crisp shoestring fries. The popular weekend brunch menu features egg-white omelets with mini-scones, breakfast quesadillas and thick-battered brioche French toast.

Breakfast is a breeze at Back on the Beach in Santa Monica!

by Valerie L

What made my experience at Back on the Beach cafe special was that it wasn't very crowded and their freshly squeezed orange juice was just like the kind I make at home. It's a very unpretentious little restaurant and it is clean and affordable. Service is prompt and I am definitely coming back to Back on the Beach as soon as I can.

  • Pros: Best view in town (what beats the Pacific ocean I ask you?)
  • Cons: I like to get my feet sandy but if it's not you, sit inside!

My favorite spot in Santa Monica

by denag

The food is always tasty even if its not the best you'll ever have. You don''t eat at Back on the Beach for the food - it's all about The Beach. To sit and have brunch with your toes digging in the sand on a lazy sunday is simply the best. The breakfast quesidilla is tasty and makes you forget you're eating egg whites instead of the real thing.

  • Pros: The Beach! Relaxing and easy brunch spot
  • Cons: Slow service, food could be better.

Perfect spot to enjoy a leisurely brunch with the whole family. Kids will have a wonderful time playing in the sand and on the nearby swings. Food is good and reasonably priced. Portion sizes are perfect.

  • Pros: Right on the beach, Perfect for Kids, Cheap Parking with Validation
