on Citysearch Nov 19, 2009The atmosphere is loads of fun, especially for ocean-going types, casual but clever. The food is prepared fresh. Nobody makes as incredible cole slaw - I toss most other types, but I eat all of this! The Reel Potatoes... (more)

on Yahoo Oct 14, 2008We had a good meal here--the mahi mahi was great, and we ate out on the patio. Not a fabulous place, but good for what it is: a shack-type place selling fresh seafood. Definitely better than a chain!... (more)

on Yahoo Sep 30, 2008My favorite seafood resturant in California. They make the food just the ways you prefer. The atmosphere is low-key and local like. But, if anyone like shark. My advice, I guess, is to call them ahead of time --... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 28, 2008This is probably one of the more passed by restaurants that line the Malibu coast, and that probably has something to do with it's sketchy exterior and rough location next to a skeezy motel. But, listen and listen... (more)

on Citysearch May 11, 2008This 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... (more)

on Citysearch May 08, 2008Great place for fresh fish!!! Lots of variety of fish and side dishes. You put together your meal from a big list on the blackboard and choose how you want your fish cooked. Very casual. If you can't find an empty small... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 25, 2008First 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... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 19, 2008The 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,... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 24, 2008For 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... (more)

on Yahoo Mar 05, 2008For over 20 years, I have been enjoying the wonderful fish selections from this restaurant. Unfortunately, the Malibu location is the ONLY store remaining open. Now living in Fullerton, I do not get the opportunity... (more)

on Yahoo Feb 26, 2008I love this place. Lately I haven't been able to get enough. It's got that old beach feel, like perhaps when Gidget movies were around. And it's not every restaurant that you can find healthy food the whole family will... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 20, 2007I'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... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 11, 2006I almost lost it in this place. So at 4pm the line was only half way wrapped around the restaurant, which seemed not bad. Half hour later I was still in line and starving when I finally got up to the counter. I tried to order... (more)
