About this business
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 parties of 10 to 100. Enjoy your Fish Tacos or Grilled Shrimp either in the ocean-view dining room or on the herb-adorned patio.

Fun and funky! Just my style. – This spot was a great find on our way to a conference up in the mountains. We were starved and we weren't disappointed. I had the shrimp omelet and could not have asked for anything better (except maybe a slightly lower price). There was plenty of delicately seasoned shrimp hiding in a fluffy omelet stuffed with all kinds of my favorite goodies, a tossed salad and rice. We sat outside since it was a gorgeous day. Probably could have used a little stronger hand with the tidying but the atmosphe... read more
Probably the Worst Fish Restaurant I have ever been to. – First of all, I have been to places like this all over the country. The difference between this small (non-chain) fish eatery and other is: 1. This restaurant is not clean. (look in the kitchen, patio and on the tables) 2.They can't even make fried fish right 3. The employees are simply rude. They were great about 10 years ago and the last couple visits have shown how a place could really go downhill. Too bad!!
Don't order the fish tacos! – The fish tacos were basically unseasoned tuna, lettuce and a bit of cheese. They were really unpleasant and bland. The grilled fish looked pretty good. I think tacos are not their thing. I was absolutely starving, and left hungry rather than finish my tacos.
Fresh Fish done right - Casual Self Serve – For the variety of fresh fish and the great side dishes - I'm never disappointed. You tell them how you like it and what you want with it (love the coleslaw, potatoes and the rice) It's casual, you have to go pick up the dishes and take it back to your table. But it's a friendly, rustic atmosphere with honest prices for fresh fish. Great for lunch or dinner. Dinner during the week is easier - less crowded. Always look forward to their chalk board words for the day. Found both locat... read more
Best after beach stop – Inexpensive fresh seafood, well prepared and wide selection. Low key dive surf shack atmosphere with a cozy fireplace and well worn picnic benches.
casual atmosphere & good seafood – Reel is ia great place to go if you want to be by the beach. it has an outside terrace where you can eat or there are tables inside. the seafood is fresh and you can pick out what fish you want and they cood it to order. they offer a variety of side dishes and appeteziers. It is a very casual atmosphere and a lot of fun to go to in the summer so that you can eat outside in the sunshine.
Great Fish, Bad Rice! – I've been going to the Reel in since I was 21, now I'm 41. The food has always been great and the fish very fresh. The fried food has also been very good since I first went. Usually, I have the broiled red snapper and a couple sides or oysters on the half shell, something like that. I recommend ordering anything broiled or blackened, but at all costs, avoiding anything fried, including calamari, any fish and shrimp. Usually these fried items are way overcooked and not fresh at all. Also avoid the rice... read more
Pretty decent fish in a shack like atmosphere – Okay, my boyfriend loves the fish tacos here and was raving about them. When I took a bite out of mine, I HATED it. They use very fish tuna. The fresh lettuce and cheese are great, but yuck on that kind of fish. It is very affordable at only $3.50 for a large fish taco. The first time I ate here, I also ordered the calamari. It was literally the WORST calamari either of us had ever eaten. It was disgusting. I never wanted to go back, but like I said, my boyfriend loves the fish... read more
Horrible Horrible – Ordered the Fish and Chips with Slaw........Shrimp Scampi, Cajun rice, Steamed Veggies, and Red Fish Chowder. The Fish was insulting to the palate. The Shrimp in the Scampi ran back to Italy to tell Uncle Carmine how badly a classic Italian dish was treated. The Cajun in the rice was the only right.....it was spelled correctly. The steamed veggies were cooked perfect.ly......and the slaw wasn't half bad. The Red Fish Chowder was red from embarrassment......and the roll that came with the Chowder was ice c... read more
