Blonde girl at the bar is rude and does not know how to take a simple order. I asked for the flavors of the seltzers and was met with an attitude because she had to look. I made the comment that flavor matters and the gentleman next to me commented, “Yeah it does”! I told her the flavor and asked her to put tajin and she looked me in the eye and said okay. She gave my husband the drink with nothing, so he handed it back and told her again. She proceeded to put lime and make faces touching all over the area where I am supposed to lick the tajin off of because now the can is open and she cannot figure out how to put it on. I was disgusted and told him to tell her to just put the tajin in a small cup. He did and she proceeded to pour the drink into a glass instead of the tajin as asked. LOL I can’t make this up! As that point, I showed my husband my dismay and went to the outside area before I said something not so nice. I came back in for another drink and decided on wine this time. She is standing next to the cabinet that holds the glasses and she tells the guy standing there something. He hands her a glass and it is filthy. Once I got outside, I poured the drink into a clean glass my friend had. I know for a fact she intentionally handed me a dirty glass. The two other girls with me had glasses that were clean. I almost got up and made her change it out and provide a new drink. It is okay if you are new and make mistakes. The attitude is what got me as well as the ill intentions. It would have been okay if she had not thrown all that attitude because all that did was make it worse. I am an understanding person, but you don’t work in a field where you serve people and get upset because you have to do your job. I used to be a server and never threw customers attitude no matter how bad. Most cases it paid off because they tipped me well. She needs better training.

Don’t let the name fool ya – nothing executive in here lol! Lots of fun atmosphere – even fun music when we were here for lunch in a Sunday! Great wraps – burgers and salads! 4/4 would recommend and will come again! Thanks Alexandria for adding the crumbles!

Went here on a friend’s recommendation, and I enjoyed my meal. Very casual, laid-back atmosphere. Order as you enter and seat yourself. I had the fish & chips and a tossed salad. The fish was really light, crispy, and flavorful! I was disappointed with the shoestring fries as the “chips.” Not bad. I just have never been a fan. Expected thicker cut fries. ♂️ The tossed salad was great, nicely sized, with the manager recommended walnut dressing. I saw most people ordering burgers… maybe next time!

Beautiful setting! But that luster went away when I walked in. I was looked at like I was supposed to know what to do when asked if we sit down ourselves or what. She looked up from her phone and directed us to the bar to order. So you have no clue walking in what to do. The bar tender acted completely annoyed and rolled his eyes when I said I didn’t want alcohol just was told to order food. Then our food just came out, literally thrown on the table there’s fries everywhere lol. The server ran off back to the kitchen. I’m not coming back. Food was good but I’ll go elsewhere for fish and chips. Very disappointed.

This was our second time eating here and we enjoyed the food and service both times. The big turnoff for me is the dirty look of everything. The bussers did a great job cleaning tables, it is just the generally old, worn down, dirty appearance of everything. The patio even had puddles of water under some tables so it was hard to find a place that looked clean and comfortable to sit.

Nestled in the very heart of the entertainment district, The Executive Surf Club delivers an experience that’s both diverse and engaging. The venue is segmented into three connected areas, each with its own distinct vibe. The largest space is an outdoor performance area with a covered stage, which transforms into a lively, festive gathering spot on party nights. This vibrant energy makes it an ideal destination for those who love to soak up an energetic ambiance while enjoying live entertainment.
The food here is a delightful revelation amid the bustling atmosphere. During my visit, I sampled the classic fish and chips—an absolute standout, bursting with flavor and perfect for those hungry moments. My daughter enjoyed her shrimp burger, and my son wasn’t far behind with his tasty fish sandwich. On another occasion, I tried the fried shrimp and fries, which came out wonderfully, while my husband’s fish tacos were a pleasant surprise. The menu offers approachable, satisfying options that elevate the overall experience, making it a hit with both adults and kids.
One of the unique aspects of The Executive Surf Club is its thoughtful layout. Depending on your entry point, you might first experience an ambiance reminiscent of a downtown café, complete with a service counter where you can place your order for bar and grill classics. The food is then delivered to your table in any of the three areas, preserving the charm and individuality of each space. This clever segmentation, a common trend in downtown establishments that have grown into adjacent spaces, avoids the impersonal feel of a massive warehouse and instead offers a sense of separation and character.
In summary, The Executive Surf Club offers a multi-dimensional experience that combines festive outdoor entertainment with a solid, family-friendly menu. Whether you’re drawn to the energetic performance space or the unexpectedly delicious food, this spot manages to create a dynamic setting that caters to both the party-goer and the casual diner. It’s a commendable choice for anyone looking to enjoy quality food in a vibrant environment.

We’ve eaten here before and the food was great, but today was a major letdown. I ordered the Veggie Burger, and it tasted like a frozen patty that had been microwaved and tossed onto a bun. The French fries were unseasoned and completely cold when our food baskets arrived to the table. The Chicken Chalupa was also cold, and the chicken had zero flavor.
But the most concerning part of our visit was the lack of basic hygiene behind the inside bar. We watched the bartender leave the bar to pet a customer’s puppy (adorable puppy, to be fair), then directly return to the bar to continue making drinks without washing her hands. We also observed the bartender wipe her nose on her shirt, handle cash and credit cards with bare hands, and then reach directly into the lime bucket while preparing customer drinks. GROSS! This is very unsanitary and honestly overshadowed the entire meal. We will not be going back.
