What people are sayingCustomer Reviews

100% 5 stars and here’s why…. Did lunch and worked today, super accommodating and the food was fab. Everyone is in sync, great team, 100 on customer service.
– Jen G., Hayward, CA -
Beautiful, stylish, and modern without that stuffy feeling. The outdoor patio is where we sat. The hostess was lovely. The mahi tacos… Bomb! Best tacos I have ever had.
– Amanda T, Phoenix, AZ -
Fido is as welcome as the hoomans.. I ordered the barkuteri board for my pup and she licked it all up! The service was above and beyond.
– Andrea G., Gilroy, CA -
I always get excited when new places open up in Santa Monica and The Surfing Fox does not disappoint! It has a cool vibe all around…
– Krys N., Santa Monica, CA -
The whole restaurant was designed with an outdoor California mentality as there’s no wall separating indoors/outdoors so even if you’re “inside” at the tables or bar, you’re feeling that Ocean breeze.
– Leo F., San Francisco, CA -
The Surfing Fox has arrived in Santa Monica with its delectable food. We enjoyed the Hot Chicken Sandwich with Fox Fries, perfectly cooked Halibut, well-done burger, and tasty Brussels sprouts.
– Bill M., Houston, TX
