It seems like people go bananas for bad monkey, it was packed when we got there around 9amish for 3- had a little bit of a wait, maybe 5-10 minutes. They have no the indoor and outdoor seating, we opted for indoor because it was a bit windy outside.
Our server was Drew, who was great! He had recommended the breakfast tacos but I couldn't give up ordering a Crabcake so I ordered the Sunny Side of the Bay and my dad got the Westside omelet. The chorizo and potatoes on my entree were great! Huge portions- we couldn't finish it but it was tasty. The homemade toast wasn't all that though. We always love the monkey bread!
The coffee my mom ordered was a bit watery, unfortunately. We went to Starbucks after to get coffee.
Otherwise, would definitely return, and maybe next time I'll try out the highly recommended breakfast tacos!

This place was super good. We had the burger which were great. One plane burger and the fried Mac burger (which I recommend) and burger with Mac on it is a must try for me! One kid had a grown up kid grilled cheese...which was very cheesy and she loved it. It was late in the day and my youngest wanted waffles which were not a thing at dinner but they made her a plate and added strawberries on top! What a great surprise for us..and her!!! Great views from the restaurant upstairs and we stopped in and bought some coffee and stickers in the store downstairs. We will definitely be back!

Let's start with the food. My "hell burger" had a fantastic flavor and was cooked as I ordered. It was not quite as spicy as I expected, but the flavor was great. My wife had the meatball sub, which was so-so. Not bad by any stretch, but nothing to write home about. They provide bread rolls prior to the meal, which are very good. However, they're more like cinnamon or sugar rolls and more of a desert. Still very good though. Then to wrap up the food portion, they have their own hot sauce. I'm a bit of a hot sauce connoisseur, and can say it hits the sweet spot. Nothing crazy for heat of course and very good flavor.
We were here during the off-season and on a very overcast dreary day, but i assume this place does really well in the warmer season. There's ample outdoor seating and I believe the main dining area opens up to the outdoors during nice weather. The only negative is that it's just outside of OC and not directly on the water, but don't let that stop you.
So would I come back here? Yes, I definitely would. The menu has a lot to offer, at least IMO, and even if not, I would get that same burger again. Even though there's probably more than 20 burgers alone on the menu.
