Reviews for Surf City Grill

We stopped here for a quick bite after missing out on the clam chowder judging kit, and ended up sharing fried artichoke hearts, fried zucchini, a corn dog, clam chowder in a bread bowl, and a large Modelo-plenty of food for three and fairly priced. The artichokes and zucchini with ranch were my favorites, the beer hit the spot, but I wouldn't get the corn dog or soup again; still, the fast, polite service and tasty snacks make this a reliable choice whenever we're in Santa Cruz.

Today, we decided to grab a bite at this popular food stand after missing out on a clam chowder kit earlier. The boardwalk was bustling with people, mostly clam chowder enthusiasts. We indulged in fried artichoke hearts, zucchini, a corn dog, a clam chowder bread bowl, and a large Modelo beer, all shared among three of us. While the artichokes and zucchinis with ranch dip were my favorites, I found the corn dog and the chowder a bit lacking. Despite that, I'd definitely return to enjoy the unique snacks and vibrant atmosphere at this Santa Cruz beach boardwalk favorite.
