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
Cons: Service can be slow

This is definitely "the" place to be in L.A. on a sunny day. The brunch is fantastic. The sandwiches are awesome and the salads (especially the Fred's salad) are delicious. The cons of this place are that the wait is sometimes long on the weekends and you get sand in your shoes if you eat outside. (wear sandals)

We had a large group (about 18) for a birthday party, and they kept enlarging our table, served us quickly and pleasantly, and didn't confuse the orders. The sand dabs were very good, and I'd have them again. The sign is hard to spot, though, and the adjacent city parking lot entrance and exit are easy to confuse.
Pros: service

I'm a low budget diner, but I eat out most of the time. This place has great food, great service, affordable prices and it's right on the beach. What more could you want?
Pros: inexpensive, friendly service, great food
Cons: parking

Say what you will about the food--decent, but nothing spectacluar--but the real draw is the location. The plastic tables and chairs sit right on the sand. So sit back and relax and watch the roller-bladers and bike-riders roll by.
