Was here for dinner. Cup of chowder was tasty. It could be a bit thicker and creamier perhaps. Fish and chips was excellent - cooked to perfection with even golden color. Tattar sauce could be a bit sharper to complement better. Amber ale was tasty. Service was really fast. You don't see the ocean while sitting but the ocean air makes a difference in the dining experience. You get to listen to live piano nearby too as you are eating. 🙂

The location was busy Saturday night. We waited about 10 mins to be seated and about 15 mins to get our food.
The food was good, good size portions. The sweet pulled pork sandwich on brioche was my favorite. Just the the right amount of sauce on the pork.
It was outdoor seating so it was loud. Lots of people walking by visiting vendors just outside. It smelled of weed the whole time, but it is the location of the restaurant.
The server was friendly. Restrooms available for customers.

It was one of the few places we found that we could sit down on the boardwalk and be served. The food was good at a reasonable price while watch the sights and scenes of the beach. Service was good and the pulled pork sandwich was tasty. The BBQ pizza was also good.

The food was delicious and portion is generous, we ordered a Philly Cheese Steak and one John Burger which was more than enough for two people. The food got prepared so quickly so if you are starving and looking for a place with good quality food that comes right on time with the view of the ocean then this is your place.

THE FOOD IS GOOOD, it was so good I forgot to take a photo before I dug in. I ordered the spicy shrimp pasta and it was 26 dollars. For the price it was more than filling! And the service was super speedy and overall a great atmosphere being right in Venice Beach. Will come here again whenever I need a sit down restaurant over here

Was there for 4th for dinner. Saw lots of individual fireworks, not the cities. Food was tasty and flavorful, was quite surprised with fries, in a good way. Could get chilly at night, so bring a jacket.

Fun place. We sat on the covered patio. The bar inside was huge. The food was good, the service was very good! There was a great beachside atmosphere.

This Restaurant is located on the beach walk in Venice Beach, offering an awesome view while you eat.
It has a range variety of foods, going from Italian to Mexican as well as some typical American dishes. We went for a burger, the clam chowder and an enchilada, none of which disappointed our taste buds. We washed the food down with a delicious strawberry margarita pitcher. All and all, it was a more than acceptable quantity/quality-price ratio, giving the location of the place.
The waiter was also lovely and helped us through out the whole thing with his recommendations. Definitely recommend!

Fun little café that is a great place to people watch. Saw a drug the guy dancing and a drunk guy fighting but felt safe in our little bubble of a restaurant. Pure entertainment for out-of-town visitors. Good food and super nice staff. Pizza was delicious! If it’s not summer, bring a sweatshirt because that breeze gets pretty cool once the sun goes down.

If you like to people watch which having drinks or eating a meal, this place is for you. The service was great and the food was good. Always bring family and friends here when visiting from Houston, Texas.

We are So-Cal locals and brought some friends visiting from Canada to the beach. It was cold and windy so we decided to stop for a drink and a snack as the restaurant had a plastic barrier up to protect customers from the elements. We sat next to one of the plastic windows so we could still get the "Venice Beach" vibe.
It's dry January so two of us ordered the zero alcohol Heinekens (thanks for having them on the menu) and the other two, 2 glasses of chardonnay. I was very happy to see a nice "full" glass of wine as usually these tourist generated restaurants are light on their pours. It was a nice house chardonnay which we both enjoyed. We ordered a plate of Chicken Nachos that were delicious and easily fed all 4 of us. They were the best nachos I had ever had and the rest of the table agreed! They were loaded and the chicken was a pulled style and super tender.
Erin was our waitress and she took excellent care of us! I commented to Erin that it was so nice to be able to come to such a touristy spot and have a positive experience with good food and service. I live here so I can tell you how many times that we have taken out of towners to a tourist spot just to feel ripped off. I believe it's super important for restaurants like these to cater to the locals. Great job Sidewalk Cafe!

A great spot on the Venice Boardwalk with amazing views. Service was friendly and the food was reasonably priced for the great views. The nachos and the butter garlic steamed clams were really good. Their fresh grapefruit juice was really refreshing too. I’ll be back for the vibes and to try their cocktails.
