OB Surf Lodge

This place was busy on July 4th. Came here with a large group which we separated into 2-3 smaller groups with the larger one sitting outside. It took a while to get service as they had a on-flow of people just finishing lunch hour. We came around 1pm. Dog friendly area outside, they even had a pup menu!I settled for the carnivorous scramble while my husband got the lodge burger cooked medium rare. I was quite satisfied although my eggs weren't scrambled with everything as I was picking out specific things to eat (meat and eggs). I took it back for leftovers. My husband ate everything of his, going a bit healthy with the salad.All their food looked v hearty (and worth the price of ~$20 each) and also looked pretty similar to their pictures online. Our group enjoyed our time here.They have both mens and women's bathrooms. Women's bathroom had 2 small stalls and 1 large stall. Parking was difficult on July 4th all around, and our group was staying on the beach to play volleyball and celebrate July 4th along with welcoming our friends wedding party for the weekend.I would come again, and hopefully with less dietary restrictions to try more things.

To say that I'm obsessed with the pesto baked eggs at OB Surf Lodge's brunch would be an understatement. I love them so much that I've attempted to recreate them at home. They're not quite the same but the simple discovery of how amazing pesto is when added to eggs has changed my life. Although the eggs are pictured as sunny side up, I always request them to be scrambled as I don't like runny yolk. On my second visit to get these eggs, the waiter was unsure if they could do it but thankfully confirmed with the kitchen. I'm not usually a spinach fan but this spinach is barely noticeable.This has become one of the spots that we regularly take my boyfriend's mom when she comes to town and I always look forward to it.

OB Surf Lodge deserves 5 stars for the food and the vibes! Located in the middle of OB, right on the water the view is amazing! A group of gals and I went for brunch on Saturday morning and we were expecting a long wait but we were sat within 5 min. Everything on the menu looked amazing so it was hard to choose but 5 of us ordered the breakfast sandwich on their homemade biscuits and all I can say is WOW. it was one of the best breakfast sandwiches I have ever had and came with a generous portion of potatoes. Everyone enjoyed their food and drinks but the service could have been a bit better. I'm still giving them 5 stars for the food!

Got here on a Saturday morning just after 9:30am. It wasn't crazy busy or anything outside was filled. We had to go up to the hostesss stand to be seated. We got seated near the bar and given menus. It took them 10 minutes to even noticed us and even take drink orders. Drinks took 20 minutes and food took 40 minutes to come out. Two people got the bacon and crab Benedict, hubby got the chicken fried steak with jalapeño biscuits and country potato and I got the OB Hot Chicken Biscuit with garlic fries. Watching all the food come out of the kitchen we were excited, Everything looks phenomenal. You definitely get a lot of food, so you definitely get your bang for your buck here. I was just disappointed because by the time our food got to us, everything was cold. Our daughter's eggs Benedict was not a Benedict anymore it was overcooked and hubby's ordered an over easy egg, but got a medium to well done egg instead & his chicken fried steak was a little inedible and very chewy. After we finish eating, we still had to wait another 10 to 15 minutes before someone brought the check back. Hubby literally watched the server that was serving us runaround and take more orders instead of bringing the check back, his whole party had already left. The ambiance here is an open concept very chill with a wraparound patio, which they allow dogs on. I'm just disappointed how long everything took considering that it wasn't super packed until the time we left then I got really packed. Hubby had gone and spoke with the manager, he was more impressed with the attitude and vibe of the place afterwards. She was very understanding on what happened and was very apologetic for the service. We had our food & drink issues but she didn't hesitated to fix the bill for us and invite us back for a better experience next time (considering we're were staying right next door to them) , we will come back and try it again tomorrow.

Beautiful view & friendly service! Food was not as tasty as expected. When you see the dishes you are like OMG this is going to be good, mouth watering good but it was bland.. so kind of threw us off. Drinks were great. They have a delicious hibiscus tea I enjoyed.

Great place to have breakfast and bring your doggies too! They have indoor and outdoor sitting.We all liked what we ordered and service was good:farmer's scrambleBenny with crabBeachside burrito!Would definitely come back! Really loved that you can take a walk on the beach after breakfast, brunch or lunch!

Great food, great service, amazing location and vibe. We sat at the bar but it looked like the same great service was at the tables too. I will definitely be back.

Popped in to OB Surf Lodge for just one on a Saturday afternoon. We walked into a completely empty bar. Everybody else was dining on the patio enjoying the beautiful San Diego day and the spectacular view.Our bartender was a cool cat. We didn't catch his name , but he was singing and dancing along with the music. He looked to be really enjoying his job that day. Mixing drinks with a certain panache. It was awesome.One mimosa and a beer and we were off to meet friends elsewhere.

We had the most delicious brunch here! Nice outside area, dog friendly, and overlooking the pier in OBGREAT service as well. Although they no longer have mimosa flights, there are many choices for the juice and I had a yummy guava mimosa. I ordered the baked pesto eggs and it was so good and so unique My husband had a fantastic farmers veggie scramble. Nice atmosphere and great food and drinks and service!!

Visiting from Las Vegas for a week, we've come here twice. The food is DELICIOUS!! And so are the drinks. We sat on the patio with the most perfect ocean view. Alyssa has been our server both times. We LOVE her!! So kind, attentive and fun. The manager David is wonderful as well. 10/10 recommendation when you visit OB!! Can't wait to move here and become regulars :) thank you all for the wonderful service!
