Big Dean's Ocean Front Cafe

Lovely location opposite pier , friendly non pushy service, great cheeseburger and there wings were amazing! Great chilled little spot for lunch and drinks

Added in September of ‘17, the back patio has a fresh brewed strait from the brewery tap of Bud Light . It’s the best tasting tap beer I’ve had outside of the beer during a brewery tour .

The captain’s platter, the cheeseburgers , everything is great here. The atmosphere is eclectic and the drinks are great! Absolutely love this place.

A west-coast haven for displaced Giants fans! A hidden gem right under the pier , basically on the beach . Wear your jersey on Sunday and join in on the "New York Super Bowl Bound Giants!" chants.

One of the few remaining original Santa Monica spots. They’ve done a good job preserving its soul and local appeal. Great for people watching , a cold beer , and good bar food! Exceptional staff !

Solid beachfront vibes. Post up at the bar in sun and get a large draft half Mango Cart / half Big Wave!

Big Dean’s has a perfect outdoor patio designed for people watching , pitcher drinking. Order food from their grill and wash down your worries with a cold brew. Read more

Grab drinks with friends in this hidden spot near the pier . Sunshine, drinks, warm weather = can't go wrong

Chilli Cheese fries are the best in the world! Try them!!!!

A David Byrne song and a Talking Heads song in one visit?! This must be the place!

At some point they should turn on the heat lamps . They have them but don’t use them.
