My coworkers and I came to this place after a hike and needed nourishment. The menu contained lots of options for everyone and the dishes looked delicious. We picked a few appetizers to share and all of them were tasty. If you enjoy pickles go for their fried pickles. It's nicely breaded and fried and it is just yummy! I went for the seared ahi tuna and it was tasty. A large portion of tuna that came with avocado, egg roll, and rice. If you're in the area you need to check this place out!

Best waitress ever! I can always sense a genuine person. This young lady deserves recognition for a job well done. I wish I was better at remembering names. I guess a description will have to do. She had dark wavy hair super sweet Spanish speaking gal.
Food was pretty good but my husband and I didn’t like the fries at all. His sandwich was looking a bit burnt but he ate it anyway saying it still tasted okay. I had a IPA with my crab sandwich both yummy. Had the cheesecake my waitress recommended and it was amazing!

Great beer in a lovely space that overlooks the harbor. There's a full bar and they have good looking food, but we only had a couple well made ales.

The outside spaces are lovely. The one in the back isn't a table service area, so if you're looking for a nice outdoor space to sit and have a beer, it's out back

Local vibe, VIP service. I make an effort to come here from the City on the weekends. Don't let the lines scare you. If you are +1 or solo, just walk up to one of the two hostesses and they'll give you lots of options. Their beer is well known, very tasty. I frequently order the namesake IPA or Pumpkin beer which I also during the festival. Even the non-alcoholic options are smooth and satisfying. I live for the fish and chips! Not greasy, fresh, huge portions usually 4 pieces. Calamari and many other selections like the tacos are all popular. Prices are reasonable. Friendly staff await your order. I never waited more than 8 minutes. Am I a VIP? If you are with a large group, make a reservation! Half Moon Bay is such a beautiful place. You will dream of retiring here! Escape to Half Moon Bay, even whales linger!

The food is tasty and the portion is big. We chose to sit outside in the patio looking at the beach side. It was a beautiful day. There is a kid menu with good dishes to choose from. Suitable for family with children.

Stopped here Saturday before the lunch rush. Great place. Beer and food were great. Got super crowded though but that’s probably expected since it’s so nice. Nachos were huge, Mac & cheese was good. Pretzels and hummus were great.

Good food, great service. Have the shrimp and chips and demolished them lots of choices for different beers and when the food came out, it was as hot as lava! They could use more decorations on the wall, not a lot of personality. Be more fun to have fishing gear, Dungeness crab traps, something more nautical.

Good spot for out of towners. In house beer is worthwhile and the food is on par for what you’d expect. The staff are friendly but everyone always seems new and learning.
