    I recently visited Padaro Beach Grill and had the pleasure of trying their Podaro Burger. The experience was nothing short of amazing! The burger was cooked to perfection, with a juicy patty that was flavorful and satisfying. The atmosphere of the restaurant, with its oceanfront view, added to the overall enjoyment of the meal. It’s no wonder this place is so highly rated on Yelp and TripAdvisor. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a top-notch burger in a beautiful setting!

    Great food at respectable prices. Burger, shakes, salads and more… fun outdoor dining. Love the mocha shake! Also have limited indoor dining as well. They easily were able to accommodate our large group of 25 people. We will be back.

    We went to Padero Beach Grill for Mother's Day. The food is good for most people. There is a huge variety, and everything looks tasty. However, if you have any allergies to SOY, you should avoid it. They cook, and fry in Soybean oil. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and works very hard. There are lots of tables and lots of seating. The place bumps right up to the beach. It's a great place for families, singles, everyone. The online prices are less than the actual prices in the restaurant. There is a nice sandy area for children to play. Dogs are NOT allowed on the premises. If you are having a big party, they have an outdoor BBQ pit. They have alcohol beverages and desserts. There is a clear plastic partition between you and the staff at the window due to Covid. The bathrooms are unisex.

    We both enjoyed the food here. Great place to stop to grab a bite to eat and easily jump right back on the freeway. Huge area for outside dining. Highly recommend!

    Such a cool and relaxing hidden little spot! The boyf and I randomly decided to check this place out and it has become our favorite getaway gem. So far we've tried their burgers, fish tacos, calamari, onion rings, micheladas and their margaritas. The food is surprisingly delicious and their outdoor seating area is the best part. Its not crowded and the beach is steps away. Love this place!!

    Nice view to dine. Large our door seating. Cool place to relax. We would like to visit on a warm California evening. They have food for all ages. Sandbox for the young to play. The Baja Fish Tacos needed more fish. We enjoyed the nice weather and scenery.

    Great food! My cheeseburger was the perfect meal after a long beach day. I would love to sit in the seating area again and enjoy the beach. They even have a sand area for kids to play.

    It was located in a nice area close to the beach. The restaurant had indoor and outdoor seating in a casual setting. You order in the front and the cashier gave us a beeper to let us know that our food was ready. My husband and I ordered mahi mahi sandwich. It was pricey without sides like French fries and the fish tasted bland.

    The experience of being next to the beach is really good, the problem in here is that is really dependent on the weather, if it is windy you will struggle to eat and enjoy, if it is sunny and nice, you will really enjoy your food in here. In terms of the food, excellent burgers, I recommend the Padaro Burger and the Chilli Bowl

  • 4/5 Tina C. 4 months ago on Google
    Nice vibes, and I like our food. The fish taco and fried clams were tasty. It gets sunny in some areas so it’s good to wear shades / bring a hat.

    Oh my, where to start?! The place was a recommendation from a friend, and wow, they did us right! The area could be missed easily if you don't know where to go. Drive slowly. Parking was abundant on both sides of the road in front. The order process was fast. The food was absolutely amazing!!!! We got burgers, onion rings, fries, and fish and chips... the portions were abundant. The view was nice too, almost on the beach. Separated via the rail line and a short wall. Lots of tables and umbrellas. Huge sandlot for children, and lots of families with children were present when we visited. Overall, a 10 for 10!

    Great little find while looking for vegan restaurants. The service was quick the food was excellent and the atmosphere sublime! Easy off and on the 101. A must stop if you are in the area.

    I'm embarrassed that I'm writing this review almost a year after my private event at Padaro Beach Grill, but we had a casual welcome dinner for our wedding in October 2022 and it was absolutely PERFECT! The staff, led by Will, was incredible to work with and even though they may not "specialize" in private events they executed an amazing event that was exactly what we wanted. You can bring in some of your decor to dress the space up a bit, and they have a sound system you can rent as well for low cost. We had almost 100 guests and everyone had a great time. Food was great, set-up was great, pricing was GREAT. Thank you Will and the Padaro team for helping us kick-off our wedding weekend on a perfect note!

    We enjoyed our beer, fish and chips, and onion rings! The ambiance and the outdoor seating was nice and they have an area for adults only if you don't want to sit next to families and their children.

    Calamari was delicious. I recommend. Onion ring are great and sweet potatoe fries are all winners. The California burger left much to be desired. Even with all the toppings and sauces it did not have any flavor. This places taste a lot like the Habit. So it’s good.

    Located on the ocean side of the 101 FWY, if you are speeding through and blink you might miss this gem of a place. Situated in a prime location just steps away from the pristine shores of Padaro Beach, this restaurant effortlessly combines breathtaking views with exceptional cuisine. From the moment I stepped in, the welcoming ambiance and beachy decor set the tone for a relaxed and enjoyable dining experience. The outdoor seating area, adorned with cozy beach chairs and fire pits, provided the perfect setting to soak in the coastal breeze while enjoying a delectable meal. Speaking of the food, Padaro Beach Grill truly exceeded my expectations. The menu showcases a diverse range of dishes, all of which are crafted with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The seafood options were particularly outstanding – the succulent grilled shrimp and the buttery lobster tail were nothing short of perfection. For those seeking non-seafood options, the menu offers a variety of choices, from hearty salads to mouthwatering burgers, ensuring there's something for every palate. Of course, what truly sets Padaro Beach Grill apart is its unbeatable location. The stunning ocean views coupled with the sound of crashing waves create an unparalleled backdrop for a memorable meal. Whether you're visiting for a romantic dinner, a family outing, or simply a leisurely lunch, the ambiance alone is worth the visit. Padaro Beach Grill is a true culinary gem nestled along the breathtaking coastline. The combination of exceptional food, top-notch service, and an unbeatable setting make it a must-visit destination for both locals and visitors alike. If you're looking to indulge in a delightful dining experience that captures the essence of coastal living, this is the place to be.

    My wife and I stayed at a local AirBnB and Padaro's was on the list of recommendations. The location is amazing. It has a Hawaii vibe going on. The food is also really good. I take my boys when we went back a second time and they enjoyed the food and ambiance as well. It's going to be a regular stop for us. Family friendly, great location, good food, and prices are good value for what you get.

    Great place! Padaro burger was good! They give plenty of fries. Would definitely return. It’s right by the ocean and has plenty of outdoor seating. Very cute picnic tables and great view!

  • 5/5 Bernadette I. 2 years ago on Google
    Love this spot! Such a great place for solid casual seafood, sea side. Delicious & easy with a menu that has something for everyone-- from burgers & salads to fish n chips-- even includes some tasty vegan options! Staff is always friendly, food comes out fast & the outdoor seating on the lawn is GREAT! Ultra family friendly (especially for the littles) ... you get a full view of the beach from the tall tables facing west. Always a treat when we drive up this stretch of the 101.

  • 3/5 Jeff P. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was ok. Got the Padaro Burger, Fish & Chips, and the Sides Trio (fries, sweet potatoe fries and onion rings) to go with our 12oz beers on tap. No crowds, ample parking, midweek October. Great self serve burger joint with a huge back yard outdoor seating area. We can now say we've been there.

  • 5/5 betty r. 2 years ago on Google
    Vegan options. Affordable prices. Relaxed chill beachy vibes. Kids friendly... have tables on the grass with shadow and just opened to get the full sun exposure.. you can hear the ocean.. you pick up your food when they called you through those vibrating devices and sit yourself. The trio is 7.50 with onion rings regular and sweet potato fries. Only outside tables and mask required while inside ordering or doing the line for restroom.

  • 5/5 Alex M. L. 2 years ago on Google
    We love Padaro. The food is always so good and very reasonably priced, the atmosphere is just the best, and having the ocean and beach next to it is wonderful. It's especially great for families with kids, imho.
