I sat there and we ordered coffee, water and juice and then was surprised to find the waitress bring the bill with the order. She kept going past and looking at it waiting for me to pay while we were still sitting. She finally just came to us and fabricated a story about people waiting for a table although there was a free table and mentioned something ridiculous about a minimum charge per person. When I asked her how much it was she didnât give me a proper answer. I have never seen anything so rude and so I just paid and left. Not sure if it was just the rude waitress or itâs just a cheap place with bad management. Shocking

Still delicious and now with a greatly expanded menu from when I had been there before. The burger used to be almost the only thing on the menu other than the amazing fries, but now there are a lot more options for those of us who aren't fans of bleu cheese. Sadly, they don't have the Lindenman's apple (my favorite beer) on tap any more, but they do still have a great selection of drinks. Check it out!

Saw this place on tv and have been looking forward to visiting for years. Best fish and chips I've had since moving to Oregon USA in Jan 2003. Great staff, great beer, great food and great atmosphere. If you're going to be in Santa Monica look this place up. You won't be disappointed.

Came here via Trip Adviser recommendation. The place was small, narrow and dark. Many of the tables were raised with wire like seats. The hamburger was excellent and the fish tacos were very good as was the sliced steak sandwich. Beer was good, prices were a bit high.

Big Deans is located on the southern side of Santa Monica Pier a little hidden away from all the hustle and bustle of Santa Monica & a bit more layed back atmosphere than your going to get on the main strip! Certainly worth a visit, however go early as it gets Busy!!!!

1. Stout Burgers & Beer

Excellent burgers every time and lots of varieties of beer. Fun to try the 4 ounce glass and keep changing till you have had enough or decide on one to repeat. Chicken burgers are delicious, as well as all the beef options. Stout stays open late so its great after a movie or some other evening activity.
