Just left the restaurant fat and happy. The steak melts like butter in your mouth. The seafood is fresh, and some of the yummiest I've ever had! We will be back. Highly recommended. Parking: Seemed to be plenty. As we were leaving, there was a small deer grazing at the side of the road. Was just a happy moment. Kid-friendliness: No kids with us, but there were children in the restaurant. I would bring my kids. View all feedback.
What Stuart Peterson doesn't like about Big Wave Cafe:
The food was quiet good, but excessively overpriced. $24 for a very minimalistic serving of pasta and veggies (shredded carrots, broccolini, and a few chunks of faded tomatoes) with butter and parmesan cheese, is just too much. There was no way the pasta should have been more expensive than the $17 halibut sandwich (which was quite good). One could argue that the Manzanita area commands higher prices, but there is be...

No skimping; all generously portioned Halibut Sandwiches! They have upgraded buns, right sauce, dab of pickle....the sandwich that satisfies and tells you Come on back! . This is my beach lover sandwich. Take it to go; and enjoy at your favorite pull-out. Bliss. $17 at our time of visit; valid price for our take-out portions in box with seasoned fries; 20 min wait on busy memorial weekend lunch. Call it in.
Very lively on a Saturday Holiday evening. Didnt have to wait longer than 10 minutes for a table. Started with some crab meat and a salad. Didn't have a fresh salmon or tuna dish tonight so I went with the prime rib special. Very tasty.
The small restaurant is charming and has a friendly staff. However, the food was just average and seemed overpriced. The pasta was bland and the portions were small. I also tried the captain's platter, which was just your typical deep fried fare - not terrible, but nothing special. The restroom was decent.
The Halibut Sandwiches at this restaurant are not stingy on the portions! They come with upgraded buns, the right sauce, and a dab of pickle. This sandwich is so satisfying, it will make you want to come back for more. It's my go-to beach lover sandwich. You can take it to go and enjoy it at your favorite spot. It costs $17 at the time of our visit, which is a fair price for the generous portions that come in a box with seasoned fries. There was a 20-minute wait during the busy Memorial Day weekend lunch, so it's best to call ahead to order.
We ate here twice during our one week stay, it was so good my daughter was upset it was closed wed thurs. Tonight we had clam chowder, crab salad, crab cakes, key lime pie. Everything was great start to finish. David our server was great too!
