    Incredible place. The food, the vibe and the service. Portions could be a little bigger but other than that we had a great time.

    Everything was tasty and excellently prepared. I've been to Balboa Surf Club several times. The food there is fresh and prepared from scratch. The seafood is great—I loved the scallops (5/5), the fried oyster po’ boy (on special) (5/5) and the California roll (5/5)—and the burgers (4.75/5) and sandwiches like the chicken sandwich (5/5) and the falafel sandwich (on special)(5/5) have more than won me over. Order the off-the-menu dinner rolls, they are wonderful.

    Had another wonderful experience at The Balboa Surf Club today for brunch. Enjoyed the pleasant outdoor area that is one of the best in HTown with its bubbling fountain and nice furniture…Of course the food was tasty and moderately priced. Highly recommended - it’s worth a try if you haven’t been!!

    Several good looking items on the menu, crab cakes and the French were good. Also enjoyed the Shrimp Louie. Made for a fairly inexpensive dinner along with drinks $120.00. These days that’s a bargain at a nice restaurant I’ll return to.
