Beachside Grill in North Devon

Visited with our dog on a lovely sunny day. Could have sat out on the balcony for a year, we purposely kept ordering food just so that we could soak up the view and sunshine for longer! Food was luckily delicious and good amount of options. Booked our next holiday so will definitely be visiting again in 2024!

Remarkably good food and service at this beachside restaurant - I was really taken aback by how good it is. Highly recommended!

Family dinner was made memorable firstly because the food was certainly of a quality to be proud of and the interaction from our male server (though I feel he may be of management level) who gave such joy too our nephew with his polite fussing of him made it a great night. Big shout for the mussels that were truly memorable.

Second visit, we went last year, the best beach in the area, fantastic for dogs, so to find a great place to eat is a bonus. The food is so fresh the service is excellent, my sister had fish and chips amazing, I had the prawn salad with the best Parmesan chips yummy. Will be looking forward to going again next year.

A stunning location with beautiful views over the beach and sunset over the sea. Sadly, the food does not compliment the location. We arrived at 12.30 pm and wanted a simple coffee and a desert cake to go with it. No dessert cake on menu so settled for side nibble of Onion rings and Garlic bread. Too much batter and oil on the onion rings and the Garlic bread did not taste of Garlic at all. A Lady ( Not in our party) at the table beside us ordered a Pizza which when it came refused it as it was uneatable. Would not go again except maybe for a Coffee and the view.

We visited 4 times in August, as it was local to our rented accommodation . On each visit the general view of are parties of 5 or 6 was very positive. The menu was suited our family as it offered something for everyone. It was always served in a cheerful and friendly manner. There was a variety of dishes with superb steaks, char grilled chicken, open sandwiches, small and sharing plates, etc. The bottled cider was very good. *** But why did the early evening tables stay empty so often waiting for people who had booked later in the evening. There is a lift for disabled people and families with pushchairs etc. Tips........book early to avoid disappointment. Take a fleece to sit outside in the evening.

Beautiful terrace setting just as you enter/leave the beach. We were a group of 7 and nearly everyone ordered calamari which was delicious, red pepper hummus tasted strange! Wish I could say the same about the mains. IMO their Pizzas are frozen. The seafood risotto was just risotto with some fish thrown in. Our sea bass fillet was lukewarm, minuscule and the Greek salad had raw halloumi in it instead of feta. When we told the waiter he said he would tell the kitchen! There was only 1 person happy with their mains. All show with no substance and overpriced - such a shame

Sadly, extremely average to poor food. Starters, crusty bread and oils were a floury shop bought loaf, chicken wings however were good. Mains, burgers were ok but £19 for an average burger was over the top. Mac and cheese was poor, Pizzas were awful, I’ve eaten better frozen pizzas from Iceland at a kids party. Over priced and sadly poor quality.

Great food, very well cooked, and very friendly efficient staff, was pleasantly surprised when the bill arrived. Very reasonable

When I looked at the reviews, this restaurant looked really good, but after trying the food, I don’t understand why. The plus point is the location is great. Otherwise the food is below par. I ordered the large steak salad but asked for no blue cheese as I’m 8 months pregnant and my partner ordered the Philly cheesesteak sandwich. Both meals came, firstly my partners sandwich wasn’t a sandwich, it was a bit of steak on toast covered in cheese. Although he said it tasted fine, it was expensive for what it was. My salad definitely wasn’t a “mains portion” and of course, as expected it came with blue cheese so I had to send it back as there was too much to pick out. After 5-10 minutes it came back out and this time it had no dressing so the salad was dry. No one came to check if the food was ok, so I just ate it as I was hungry and felt like a pain to ask again. A waiter apologised about the blue cheese when collecting our plates and asked if everything was ok, i explained there was no dressing on the second salad but I couldn’t get anyone’s attention to tell them. He just said he would feed it back to the chef. There was no discount, or a complementary drink etc. If they had rectified it I wouldn’t have minded but they didn’t. The portions are so small for the price, you definitely pay a premium for the location but the food and service doesn’t reflect the prices. I would be wary visiting if you have any allergies as they clearly don’t cater to any adaptions to the menu even when asked.

What an unexpectedly excellent eatery right down at the seaside. Either I am out of date on the quality of beachside food outlets, or this is very unusual. Four adults and a 5-year old wandered in off of the beach, and were treated to a collection of very good salads, tasty mussels, and so on. Friendly service. Why queue for a burger or a sandwich when you can have this?

Arrived in the evening has immediately told quite a few of the items weren’t available. Including the draft beer that they’d been waiting 2 weeks for ?!?!? 2 in party had steaks which were good. One had peri peri chicken that was very small and the other fish and chips, which was very average. Service was very slow despite not being very busy and not very attentive until complained.

I guess the lack of competition is a big factor but the food is pretty mediocre (and expensive) . We paid £39 for two average burgers and a ropey Margarita pizza. The pizza base was thick and claggy and the topping was tasteless. We suspect it was frozen. Would suggest investing in a small pizza oven. There’s plenty of choice of cheap ovens nowadays and you could really improve the offering.

My family and I just visited the Beachside Grill and can report that it was great. The food was really good quality, the service was bright, helpful and quick and to top it off we had a window seat overlooking the beach. We had a bonus in that weather was beautiful which obviously you can’t guarantee, however, I’d have been equally happy if it had been lashing down outside watching a storm roll by. One minor point to note, you have to pay for the car park and can’t park in the hotel above. I was hoping for a voucher from the restaurant but alas no joy. That would definitely not put me off coming back or recommending to others.

Fantastic location and very welcoming. We ordered ribeye with truffle chips and seafood risotto. It was outstanding in quality of meat and in cooking. Couldn't have asked for better. I know my steaks and this was the best. Dessert was lemon creme brule. It was also excellent.

After a lovely walk on the beach it was great to find such a lovely place we could take the dog in as well. It was a quiet day so can’t comment on what it’s like in high season but we had superb service. Personal...

We really wanted to like this place but unfortunately we were left disappointed. One member of the party chose pizza, thinking wood fired etc - it wasn’t. Quite doughy base and not great. Others chose the loaded fries with brisket. Sadly the dish wasn’t as described, the tips of burnt brisket actually came as ‘pulled brisket’ which in itself would be ok, but instead it was really overpowered with a lot of strongly flavoured BBQ sauce - way too much and for us spoiled the dish. It may be that you visit and really enjoy the food, unfortunately it wasn’t for us and we probably wouldn’t go again.

Despite it's miles of coastline there are few places in North Devon to dine with a reasonable view or even a glimpse of the stunning coastline and beaches. The Beachside Grill at Saunton is definitly one of these. Dinner for two. Nice menu with an...

Greeted with a warm welcome on arrival and found our table was ready for the time we had booked. Plenty of choice on the menu for all tastes. I had the mountain burger which was a lovely vegetation option and very tasty. Husband had a...

Drinks, 1 wrong, 1 knocked over. Mac n cheese bland and mushy. Pizza served before the rest so got cold. Dust and cobwebs..

Popped in here for lunch after a few hours at the beach. Expected pretty standard fare but we were blown away! An amazing selection of dishes and lots of drink options were on offer. We chose a couple of grilled prawn salads, a seafood risotto...

We were staying at the nearby hotel for a couple of nights and decided to have dinner here on our first night. Wasn’t expecting much with it being a beachside restaurant but was pleasantly surprised. When we arrived there was plenty of tables to choose...

We had a lovely little trip to North Devon last week and had the perfect balcony spot for lunch on both days. The Beachside Grill @beachsidegrillsaunton is part of the @saunton_sandshotel_devon and overlooks the beach and coastline.🌊🏖☀️ Both days I opted for the salad with...

For the price charged and the quality of the food presented this is a very poor restaurant the burgers where dry and they clearly do not know what a Panzanella is and was extremely poor The price for the starters was crazy for what was...

Amazing food, fantastic menu, friendly and professional service. Have had dinner and lunch, both equally good. Mussels standout. Top restaurant

We bought for lunch for 5 of us on a Saturday but luckily arrived early enough to have space outside There were a lot of tables taken up soon after with drinkers but we were eating Ordered Sea Bass with Salad Niçoise which was excellent...

This place was recommended to us by our holiday beach hut on their “things/places to go” leaflet on our arrival. We had our dog with us too and this place is dog friendly. The staff were great and welcoming and friendly. Initial impressions were good,...

Having a short break at Saunton Sands Villas it was great to have such an excellent relaxed restaurant on the doorstep. We ate here for two of our three-night stay - the food was well-cooked and good value for money. Previous reviews have mentioned slow...

Family of 8 with 6 adults and 2 children. Great venue, right on the beach. A relatively quiet Monday night (Easter Monday). Great service from friendly staff. Lots of different food ordered all of it was very good quality, well presented and good value for...

My daughters , a friend and I had lunch here today along with our two dogs. We received a warm welcome and we were accommodated whilst waiting for a table, however…… when my 18 year old daughter ordered a cocktail she was asked for proof...

Visited on a Wednesday evening so it was unsurprisingly quiet, could have done with some slightly louder music to create more of a vibe. It was also quite cold as was a rainy night, but the blankets were appreciated. We shared the steak with the...

Saunton Sands beach was recommended by a shop owner in Appledore, where we are staying for a week (6 people, 3 dogs), and the bar & grill made the trip even more appealing. Stunning location - the beach is 3 miles long and very wide,...

Nipped to the beach because the weather was gorgeous and decided to try this place for lunch. Dog friendly on the outside balcony. Great menu and we were both delighted with our meals. Chips to die for. Next time I’m having the ‘dirty fries’ service...

Popped in for lunch when we arrived for our weekend break in Braunton. Sat out on the balcony with our dog with a lovely view of the beach. We shared the mussels and squid rings with some fries, all of which were amazing, superb flavours,...

Ordered for take out. Goodness knows how they cut those chips but they are amazing! Best chips I've ever had. And the meals are really substantial and delicious. Would've given 5 but the menu is limited if you are staying for more than a couple...

We found this to be by far the best restaurant in the area. Small menu, but excellent produce, cooked well, friendly staff, great views. Winner! More restaurants in Croyde, Woolacombe and the surrounding area need to take a lesson from The Beachside Grill!

Really relaxed atmosphere, we sat on the beachfront terrace and experienced both the lunch and dinner menus during our holiday. The staff went out of their way to fit us in without a reservation on our first visit and were very friendly and professional. Special...

Helpful and friendly staff and lovely range of food. Dogs welcome and enough outside tables to mean you never wait too long.

Staff not overly friendly but food was amazing. Lovely location on saunton sands beach and views from restaurant. Recommend booking early ahead of time especially and leave time for parking.

Popped in here, off the of Saunton beach for lunch whilst staying with friends. Sat outside on the balcony overlooking the sea. Food was reasonably priced for a 'captive market' beach restaurant. A pretty good selection was available. Food came quickly, was of decent portion...

We ate here for dinner after spending the day at Croyde beach. The food was good - my mussels and chips in particular were wonderful. My only slight annoyance was that we had to pay for parking after only travelling there to dine - we...

Went today for lunch - staff friendly and food was ok. However, £3.80 for a glass of coke, it wasn't even a pint....I know restaurants have struggled and need to recover however, the cost of the drinks here is ridiculous.

We loved it so much we brought our parents a second time later in the week. Great seafood, local gin cocktails, we had beautiful sunset views both visits and the staff were so helpful and considerate. Excellent food and wonderful experience all round, we will...

There were 20 of us,quite an invasion! We sent our choice of mains well ahead and everything came as ordered. We all enjoyed our food and were very impressed by the pleasantness and efficiency of the staff.

My wife and a friend enjoyed a pleasant walk on the beach and decided to have a coffee and a cake at the Beachside Grill, as it was her birthday. The bill for two cups of coffee and one portion of chocolate brownie came to...

Dean , great guy . He got us drinks and chairs while we waited for a table outside. Then was attentive . Took our orders and fresh dog water. Recommend a burger to my daughter . He is an employee worth keeping !!!

Our family had a lovely meal here on the terrace. Really good food, reasonably priced, fantastic location and friendly service. Best to book at busy times.

I visited with my 2 young children for lunch and sat inside. We waited for 45minutes but still no food. That was understanding due to a busy sunny Saturday. Politely asked the waitress how long the food would be and orders a bowl of chips...

Walking in the area, I called a couple of hours before lunchtime and was happy to be told they could fit me in. A table inside by the window gave me the ideal combination of the view but not the wind. I had the catch...

Recently had dinner here, which was spoilt by a group of extremely rude elderly people with the worst behaved dogs I've ever encountered. The dogs barked loudly and incessantly (because they were being fed at the table). Several other customers left, I complained to the...

Came back for lunch this time. What a fabulous place to eat. The food is excellent with large portion sizes, the staff are welcoming, so polite and friendly. We weren’t rushed and just had an absolutely lovely meal. Cant rave enough about BSG- it’s our...

Arrived early lunchtime to ensure a lovely table outside, overlooking Saunton Sands. We managed to get the best spot. We were greeted by Karen, a lovely cheery girl. Nothing too much trouble. A credit to this great Grill. From ordering the food to it arriving...

We went here for lunch on our last day in Devon after checking out from our accommodation. WHAT a good choice! It's right on the beach so we spent a couple of hours there first after parking in the convenient car park, then headed up...

Lovely location, would have sat outside with the gorgeous views but it was too busy so happy to sit inside. Staff very friendly and attentive, didn’t have to wait long to order or receive food. Kids portions good size. I had the beef brisket dirty...

Visited at the end of April (during term time for schools). We could sit out on the spacious balcony as we had our dog with us. Very friendly service and delicious food! The beach is absolutely huge and beautiful sand.

Would highly recommend here, the food was great. Actually one of the best (if not the best) steak I have ever tried! Good portion sizes, and very good quality. The view is great, and a great spot for people watching if you enjoy this. The...

Fantastic location, friendly service, lovely food and a wonderful view. A gem of a beach and a lovely way to end the day by having a meal here.

We had a lovely meal here. The fish and chips were the best. Very friendly, helpful staff. Lovely views out to the sea.

Nice casual dinning - at front of car park at Saunton Sands area with access to the beach. Great to sit outside as long as not too windy/ cold. We all had burgers & they were very tasty. Cocktails well made & an enjoyable evening.

After parking up at the hotel first we then we’re directed down to the beach to access the grill restaurant. On arrival it looks like just a coffee shop from the outside but inside it’s a lovely bright restaurant. The menu was mostly around different...

We had a couple of meals here. Lunchtime flakey salmon with avacado was delicious. Dirty chips, nicely cooked covered with bbq pulled pork, oh yes. On Friday evening 7th October we were able to eat outside. A lovely area overlooking the sea. The tide was...

First time at Beachside grill. At first glance it could be mistaken for a seaside ice-cream & hot dog place. But nothing could be further from that idea! Upstairs is a bright and comfortable restaurant with stunning beach & sea views. The service was super...

My wife has a wheat intolerance and is hard to find a place to dine. But here was the exception to the norm. The food was well presented and lovely, staff very pleasant and helpful, the restaurant was very clean with the table thoroughly cleaned...

Food was great could not fault it and the service was excellent had a nice view of the beach if you are sitting at the right table ....thoroughly recommend this place

My friend and I just had a wonderful meal here of the shredded brisket burger. Sat outside with the setting sun behind and a glass of wine. Friendly service and great food. Well recommend.

Glad we booked, as there were people queuing to get in, even after the lunch rush (2pm-ish). Ngl, was really good food, well cooked, yummy and service was good too - a little slow on clearing plates though. Order the mac n cheese, just do...

Booked ahead by around 90 minutes and we were sat inside. Lots of gluten free options, which was reassuring to see, so went for a burger. Burger seemed over cooked, with not a huge amount of taste. Sadly, the GF burger bun was not a...

We had booked the Beachside Grill prior to our holiday in Devon. We nearly missed our booking but a timely phone call from the restaurant saying that we could have an earlier table ensured that we made it there on time and on the right...

As a large family with a spread of ages it was the perfect spot. It's not cheap but we've been there a few times & thoroughly enjoyed our meals

We booked to come but you can’t book an outside table. You have to either queue or take your pre booked inside one and then move. The benefit of outside are for all to see gorgeous view and you can bring your dog. I don’t...

We visited the Beachside Grill as a group of 15. We pre booked our table and there were no issues with that. The menu and the food looked incredible but tastes pretty terrible. The view is incredible and parking is easy (but you do have...

I recently went to this restaurant, having previously been a few years ago. Strangely had 2 very similar experiences. The food was excellent. We had a range of items from the menu and specials list. All cooked perfectly and really tasty. On the service side....

We ate inside as the wind was picking up, but still had the lovely views of the sea and beach. The staff were very friendly and efficient and the food arrived quite quickly. My grandson and I had the mussels as starters and they were...

We are here on Wednesday evening (11th August) for our son’s 16th birthday and received a friendly greeting and shown to our table. All of us really enjoyed our food, we chose sirloin steaks (cooked to perfection with the most perfect chips, grilled tomato and...

I don't know if they were having a bad day, clearly judging by the rave reviews but our experience was just awful. We came for early dinner, it wasn't busy but the place was dirty and there was just stuff everywhere. The service was good...

We were a large group of 8 with kids and a dog and the staff at the BG could not have been more accommodating. We hadn't booked so had to queue for an outside table but it was worth the wait. 3 members of our...

We had lunch at the Beachside Grill in late July 2021. The staff were friendly and the food was original and very tasty. Great location just before you enter the beach and dogs are allowed on the terrace.

Whilst staying at Saunton beach villas We had booked a family meal for a birthday celebration unfortunately due to an A&E visit not everyone was able to attend but the wonderful staff were very helpful and provided takeaway meals for missing family members & then...

What a lovely beachside restaurant! Great location, fresh food, large plates and very tasty. Really friendly service. We were lucky and got the last table outside. Completely dog friendly outside at least, and quick service. Really recommend and will definitely visit again as it makes...

An amazing experience at the beach side grill. Food came out exceptionally fast and was delightful, recommend the mussels! Best of all was the friendly attentive service, our waiter’s name was Callum and he made our experience thoroughly relaxing. Thank you beach side grill! We’ll...

Spent a couple of lunchtimes here last week, enjoyed super fresh dishes, delicious coffee and rose wine. Friendly staff who had an excellent cleaning regime in operation and adherence to the Covid recommendations - all tables were being sanitised and staff wore visors. Highly recommend...

Goodness me what a place completely up itself. We’ve previously stayed at the Saunton Sands hotel and we were driving past on our way to Croyde so thought we would pop in for an early lunch. I don’t know what this beachside Grill thinks it...

Our first visit yesterday after saying we’d try it since it opened. Long drive from Lynmouth and I must admit, our first impression as we walked in, wasn’t great but we soon changed our opinion. The young man who greeted us and took us upstairs...

We had the BSG burger and the jackfruit burger, and both were so tasty. A nice touch was the personal glass jars of sauces, the ketchup was delicious and much nicer than normal Heinz. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful. The restaurant itself...

Awesome food - this chef likes food ! Beautiful view- great for people watching ask for a table near the window Terrace table are not bookable

Lost our car key in the sea so was stranded in the cold while we waited for our friends. The staff were so lovely and gave us a table, even though we were in wetsuits. They gave us coats, tea and chips (which tasted amazing!)....

They do not allow bookings for outdoor tables yet 3 times on random occasions , even twice upon opening (all terrace empty!!) We were turned away with the excuse of being "fully booked" then telling us and all people in the queue that due to...

Excellent fish and chips and hake risotto overlooking the sea. Staff were friendly and helpful. To be recommended. Thank you

We went to the Beachside Grill after reading the reviews on here. The food and service was really good. Some of us had the brisket beef burger and it was delicious. We sat inside as we had a toddler with us and didn’t want him...

Had booked ahead for 8:15 on a Friday night for a party of 6. As we were among the last diners, the service felt a little rushed and towards the end of the meal, they were tidying up around us. Remember that your customers are...

Staff try hard to accommodate & serve good food efficiently despite very busy time of year- would definitely go back.

Friendly, accommodating and attentive staff. Great food - tasty and a generous portion size. Particularly loved the musssles and the brownie, which had pieces of curly wurly on it! Diverse menu with lots of veggie and vegan options if you’re that way inclined. Would definitely...

Early supper. Beach side! Visited for dinner.. bit chilly to sit outside. Right on Saunton sands beach. Casual place. Nice food. Salad and bread to start. Hot dog and chicken for mains. All nice .. nothing outstanding. Delightful service and lovely spot!

Have eaten here a few times over the last 3-4 years. Menu is always lovely and the views are spectacular. Dog friendly too. Also sat on the terrace this week for a glass of rose in the sunshine. Very covid secure and a nice holiday...
