Excellent food with down-to-earth atmosphere but beautiful view. I had a lobster, 8oz clam chowder and small fish and fries, and they were all fresh and delicious. Lobster and clam chowder were especially delicious- very fresh and rich. The line can be a little bit long depending on the time (I went at round 7~7:30PM on Thursday, line was very... More

It has more people waiting than in an hospital urgency room. Maybe the food is ok, but sure that after waiting for one hour you will find the food wanderfull but that will not be true

This is truly a hut across the street from the beach. You will stand in line to order, stand in line to pick up your food and have a hard time parking. The restroom is in the back. Ha! Ha! Wonderful food...sweet staff...view of the ocean!! The food is amazing...that is why it is the #1 restaurant in Malibu.

We went there for lunch. The view, and food was wonderful. It is crowded, you must wait for your food for a while, but worth waiting. They only have one brand beer, it was ok. Lemonade was very refreshing.

Pull off Pacific Coast Hwy. and have lunch or dinner at this authentic fish shack.Vary busy on weekends but worth the wait. Parking lot may be full but you can park on the highway shoulder but watch out as cars pass by at 55-60mph! Everything on the menu is good and fresh. I simply order clam chowder soup and a... More

You place your order in the shop - which also sold amazing looking fish - and then take a seat in one of the seating areas provided. Some are undercover for evening and some outdoors. Wide variety of things on offer from basket type meals of various battered fish/ shellfish and chips to chowder or fish meals served with rice/salad/jacket... More

Our grandsons love this place. We take our out of town guests here too. It will usually have a long line out the door, but it moves fast and the food gets to you simply and quickly. Our favorite is the Fish and fries, but nothing we have ordered was less than fresh and yummy. We show up here at... More

Definitely worth an excellent rating. Very friendly staff. Order at counter and seating is scattered around the building. Great view of beach. Food was awesome. Laid back atmosphere. Prices were great. A must visit while in Malibu.

Driving up it doesn't look like much. Not much more than a roadside stand with outdoor and semi-indoor seating. We stopped about 5 on a Friday and moved quickly through the short line. The order taker patiently answered our questions and gave a few suggestions. Food was ready in less than 10 minutes. We had quite the variety, from fried... More

Ate here twice over a weekend. Great setting, amazing fish, shrimp, and chowder. Their fresh seafood looked very appetizing and they also sell some amazing olive oil and rosemary bread your kids can gnaw on while you are waiting for your order to be up on a busy weekend. On a sunny day, couldn't be a nicer spot. Not cheap... More
