Reel Inn

This classic seafood shack at the bottom of Topanga Canyon has been around since 1986 and boasts the sort of genuinely divey, no-frills atmosphere that’s increasingly hard to find anywhere. There’s shrimp tacos, clam chowder and all kinds of cooked-to-order fresh seafood for those hoping for classic beachside fare, but even the pickiest eaters will find something on the sprawling menu of soups, sandwiches, salads, tacos and quesadillas. The large, family-friendly outdoor area and approachable prices have made it beloved by locals for decades. The fact Reel Inn is next to prime Sunday Funday destination Rosenthal Wines doesn’t hurt the restaurant’s popularity either—it’s the perfect place to tuck into a solid meal after a few rounds of wine tasting.
