visited this place after finding it on the Michelin guide list.
The breakwater burger put them on the list. So we had to try it. It was really good. We also tried the brisket banh mi & brisket melt. Banh mi was alright, the brisket melt had good flavor but the brisket itself was bit dry for my liking, I think because the it was a lean cut & it was seared. Next time I’ll order the brisket pit sando instead. The fries are amazing though. It’s like hot & fresh McDonald’s fries but with their own seasoning. Don’t skip the fries you’ll regret it.
we arrived at 12:05p (they open at noon) and there was about 30 ahead of us. We left around 2pm and the line had died down.

Had some delicious brisket and cornbread here. They have a large menu with many different meat options but it sells out quickly so stop for lunch. The sausage was also delicious. Spacious indoor and outdoor seating options available. Located right across the highway 1 from the beautiful Pacific Ocean. Enjoy the good food and great views.

Awesome barbecue in front of the beach! The restaurant serves various types of meats in southern style, sandwiches and has a great variety of beers. I tried the brisket and it was very tender and juicy, highly recommend. The trays come with two sides of your choice—it’s a lot food so keep that in mind. The prices were pretty fair considering it’s quality and their location a few steps from the beach, their patio is awesome having a beer and try their amazing barbecue.

My friend raved about this barbecue spot for a long time and I finally got a chance to try it out. I ordered a plate of brisket along with the sides. Everything is delicious! I am particularly amazed by the brisket and it is so tender and smoky throughout all the pieces. The amount of food is so generous that I took the leftover and made a bagel sandwich out of it a day later and it is still juicy and tender! I am a bit disappointed by the sauce as it is a bit runny. Still the flavor is on point. I wish the served bread to be toasted. All suggestions are minor compared to the solid brisket though. It is worth trying and coming back again!

We were able to grab a seat up at the bar. Both bartenders on duty were super sweet and fun. The staff in general here were all so welcoming, pleasant, and helpful.
The brisket is pretty dang good. Juicy and flavorful with that yummy crust on it. Of all the bbq places in a 50 mile radius, this one is up there in taste and quality. Thumbs up on the chunky potato salad, cheesy mac, and chili sides. The sauces are unique too. I think one of them was carrot based?

We came as a family (two kids under four) and ate outside at a picnic table overlooking the ocean, with our kids happily eating as the sun set.
Every dish we ordered was delicious. The ribs were smoky and tender, the pulled pork sandwich perfectly balanced between richness and spice, and the sides held their own: soft, buttery cornbread, creamy mac and cheese, and a generous slice of sheet cake to finish.
We also loved the low-key setup. You order at the counter, seat yourself, and bus your own table. But the staff is still helpful (they helped us track down high chairs).
Overall, breakwater isn’t fancy, but it doesn’t need to be. It’s comfortable, delicious, and deeply California.

Meat wasnt juicy enough on the lean and was slightly cold (but that mightve been because of waiting for other table food sharing people). Its a meal for 2-3.
Cornbread was messed up and undercooked from another meal. Mac n cheese was good.
Ribs and Brisket could’ve been better.
Barbecue sauce at the table felt watered down.

Sat next to the owner at the bar and he was super cool! The staff was so friendly and attentive as well. you could tell they liked working there which makes a huge difference in the vibe. The barbecue was excellent. Ribs were top Notch, brisket was cooked perfectly and the sides were great as well. The hot link could use a little more fat but had great flavor.overall I loved the armo and they had a great taplist too!! Highly recommend this place! I will be back to try the burger and the pastrami.

The sides were fantastic. The BBQ was, by my admittedly very high BBQ standards, good but not great.
The brisket was dense, had a nice bark, and was tasty, but didn’t achieve the tenderness of excellent brisket. I wanted to love it but could only like it. Don’t get me wrong, I’d eat there if I was going to be on that side of the peninsula, but I wouldn’t go there for that alone.

3.8/5 for the brisket sandwich. It was nothing special really. It was a bit tough and dry and a bit overpriced for what it is but still good but not the best that I had in the bay. People were friendly though.
