We were searching around for someplace to eat and finally landed on the Surfside Grill. Best fish and chips I have ever had. The fish pieces were huge and the tartar sauce was the best I've tasted. You don't need to look any further.
Beautiful little raised shed laid into the hotel grounds, a heartbeat away from the beach and gorgeous sunsets. Wonderful spots to chill. Family friendly, lots of space to chow down. Nice staff but the usual 'food truck' experience in terms of expectations. Food is exceptionally nice. Breading is not your typical beer batter, so be ready for a VERY crunchy sort of batter. My only critique is the breading was very bland. Unbelievably delicious tartar made up for it.
Very cozy and full little shack. The food is very decent. We flew here and didn’t think we need car. We wanted to go out for dinner but there is no cab or Uber version of island. We end up coming to here for dinner. It’s pretty good! No regrets
I heard so many things good about the fish and chips and I was dying to try them. I was the fifth person in line when they opened up in the afternoon and they were sold out of fish and chips So decided to try the fish tacos and those did not disappoint. Probably one of the best fish tacos that I’ve ever had. Also got a cheeseburger and fries. The burger was so juicy and so moist and melted in my mouth and the fries were cooked perfectly. They were crispy and flavorful. I really wish I ate at Surfside Grill once more before I left
Salmon burger was really good. My husband enjoyed his halibut and fries. Self service with Adirondack chairs and firepits close to the beach
Surfaide Grill is a cozy spot that hits the mark for a great street food or food truck-level experience. Grab some fish tacos and a cold beer, and you’re all set for a great time on Cox Bay—rain or shine!
Had a delicious meal at Surfside grill! It was exactly what I was craving for after a long surf day. We went at happy hour and got the smash burger and fish tacos (each 15). Very good price for value. Outside seating - picnic tables and chairs by fireplaces. Very peaceful and beautiful. Lots of options on the menu. Service was great.
Just have to have this during your visit!! Simply the best!! We ordered Oysters, Cod, and Salmon. So so great. Walk up off the beach as well. Order and then in 10mins the call your name! Also don’t forget the seafood chowder!! Thanks
