Great Beach Restaurant by Shireen R. at InsiderPages

This restaurant has the best location. You can sit right on the sand with a great view of the ocean. Good place to go with children who can play on the sand or play structures right by the restaurant. Not a place you go to necessarily for the food. The food is fairly good, however. Not sure if it is open right now (April 2008) since there is major construction going on next door.
My favorite spot in Santa Monica

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.
At this laid-back beach cafe, meals include panoramic ocean views, fresh sea breezes and sand underneath your feet.

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.

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
Best brunch in L.A.

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)
Great service

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
Sand, Sea & Scrambled Eggs

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.
