The Clam Chowder is the best in Southern California! Can't go wrong with the Fish & Chips or Fried Shrimps!
- Go to Brophy's at 3pm, sit at the bar and enjoy the view, and the [relative] calm - it's the mid-afternoon lull time Read more
Genevieve ChanJune 13, 2012Go for the service! The food was ok, nothing outstanding. Maybe I should have gone for something fried. I thought SB Shellfish had fresher fish. But the harbor view and the waitstaff were top notch!!
jo bensDecember 24, 2010garlic baked clams.. sooo worth it! also, if you are waiting to be seated, hang out at the bar downstairs!
Tim SchmittJanuary 16, 2010Saturday afternoon wait 1+ hrs. Don't accept resv. Worth the wait if you have the time. If not, have sone ceviche and a bloody Mary at the bar downstairs.
Tyson RoseMarch 22, 2016Over-rated and underwhelming. The service was disorganised and the food was bland and rubbery. Have no idea what all the hype is about. It was the worst seafood I've had in years.
Koko YoungApril 21, 2011The best clam chowder in Santa Barbara! You cannot come here without ordering it
Rodrigo da GraçaMay 23, 2013Good clams slightly overcooked. Swordfish not enough salt and slightly dry
Magdaline DilesMarch 22, 2016WORST meal I have ever eaten. It took our hostess 3 attempts to seat us. I tried the fish sandwich and only managed 1 bite. Absolutely inedible. Utterly disgusting. My glass of water was ok.
The grilled shark sandwich is soooooooo good!
