What the community has to say about Reel Inn Fresh Fish Restaurant

Information about this business (1)

Reel Inn is an ocean-side shack selling simplicity with a lot of value. The budget menu is on the chalkboards and a variety of fresh fish are on display under the glass counter where you place your order. Although the queue extends beyond the front door, the fresh food and the rustic ambiance make this wait worthwhile. Valet parking is available on weekends and do remember to call in for...

The Reel Inn Restaurant Review

Order from a blackboard menu, grab a spot at one of the wooden picnic tables, knock back a beer and enjoy the view of the Pacific from the patio at this casual seafood-driven café. Start with a heaping portion of steamed mussels or fried oysters, then move on to some grilled fish or crustaceans. The menu is detailed, so you know the orange roughy is from New Zealand, the basa sole is from...

The beer is cold, the seafood is hot and the atmosphere is perfect for a nosh after a day at the beach.

The Scene
You can't miss the original PCH outpost, right across from Topanga State Beach--the witty sign scribbled with ""Wu Tang Clam"" and ""Oh My Cod"" is definitely eye-catching....

Local favorite fish shack in Malibu

I love coming to Reel Inn as it's a great 1/2 way meeting place when I get together with friends from Agoura. Been coming here for 15+ years and it never disappoints.
This time I had the grilled fish tacos (comes with two sides) with slaw and steamed vegetables. Total was $13 incl tax. Very large portion and very tasty....

Delicious fish dinners in a cozy setting

Love love love the Reel Inn! Choose your fish, how you want it cooked, and your sides. Couldn't be simpler or more delicious. Right now the have amazing oysters on the half shell from Baja California, yum! Sitting outside is quieter and and a bit more sane than sitting inside which can sometimes feel like a cafeteria. Also, if you...

This is not a fancy place. You line up cafeteria style and order from a chalk board listing all the fresh choices they have that day. The fish is on display in a glass case just cut and ready for cooking the way you want. We had Chilean sea bass with two sides along with six fresh oysters and beer....

Sunday Afternoon Drive up the Coast Lunch stop

We decided while taking a "top down" PCH drive up the coast on a gorgeous Sunday to stop in to one of my favorite out of the way fresh fish/ seafood restaurants. It's a really fun homey and casual place with picnic tables outside in a patio setting. When crowded you may well share the long tables with strangers. When...

Fast food quality

Average Rating

They have fresh raw seafood that they would cook for you but what comes out is the diner quality dish. The seating is also diner quality. The prices are not diner at all. I don't understand what people like about this place. I tried it twice, just to confirm my first impression, and yes, my first impression hasn't changed.
