Big Dean's Ocean Front Cafe

"Stopped here for a quick recharge. We got one pina colada, deans burgers and a cheese quesadilla. I appreciated the cheap eats and it was an excellent location to duck in and grab a drink as you’re walking along The beach. They even had a happy hour specials. they had restrooms and water; the vibes were on point for a beachy cali vibe"

"Big Dean’s Ocean Front Café has such an amazing atmosphere. It’s the perfect place to sit back, relax, and enjoy a cold beer or cocktail by the beach. The vibe is fun and chill, making it a great spot to hang out with friends or spend quality time with your partner. I had a wonderful time here and would definitely come back!"

"This establishment transcends the typical beach bar; it's an immersive experience, a cornerstone of the community, and a hidden gem that quietly impresses. The staff are exceptionally welcoming and remarkably efficient, creating an inviting atmosphere from the moment you arrive. Even the simple act of ID verification is transformed into a memorable moment with a charming smiley face stamp, setting the tone for a delightful visit. The seating options are abundant and thoughtfully arranged, catering to diverse preferences. Whether you prefer the shade of an umbrella table, the energy of the bar, the comfort of a booth, or the casual feel of regular and high-top tables, there's a perfect spot for everyone. The bar boasts an impressive selection of top-tier liquors and beers, including the often-overlooked Kona Big Wave, a brew that perfectly encapsulates the laid-back California beach vibe that defines this establishment. While our culinary exploration was brief, the exceptional quality of the onion rings and fries suggests that the entire menu is crafted with care and expertise. The large Pacifico, served impeccably cold and undeniably fresh from the tap, was like liquid gold, a testament to the bar's commitment to quality. Every moment spent here was a pleasure, and I eagerly anticipate returning as often as possible to further savor this exceptional experience."

"We arrived around noon and ordered several dishes: a beach salad that was beautifully presented,tacos, fish and fries and chips with salsa along with some drinks. The food was nice, the atmosphere was totally fine, and the prices were reasonable."

"Fun historic place to watch a football game., etc. Beach parking is very close, we paid $10 in the evening, and I heard this is one of the oldest bars in LA County. Nice energy at this spot...."
