I went to Big Dean’s Ocean Front Cafe on a sunny beautiful day! I did smile and show the beach a bit behind me! This location is at the beach and just next to the Santa Monica Pier. The burgers are juicy and yummy and the beer is cold and satisfying! Hope you all get a chance to check out this great spot. Another bonus is the private back patio perfect for hosting a party or watching a game! #bar #burger #cafe #beer #sider #drinks  #vegan

If you’re in Santa Monica make sure to head to Big Dean’s. They have affordable prices and the atmosphere is great. If you’re going to o watch football make sure to get there early! But there’s always space on the beach if you’re looking for some good fish and chips! #vegan

Big Dean’s Ocean Front Café is one of those classic Santa Monica spots that feels nostalgic in the best way. Right off the pier, it’s lively, casual, and full of beach-town charm. The food was surprisingly good—better than I expected for such a touristy area—but the wait does get long, especially during peak hours. Still, it’s a great place to grab a drink, people-watch, and enjoy the coastline without overthinking anything. A fun, laid-back stop after a day by the water.
