Bad Monkey West OC

First time going here and would definitely come back! On a Monday at around 6:45pm, the wait for 2 people was about 15 mins (we did not have a preference for inside or outdoors seating btw). And staff were very friendly. Our waitress Megan was amazing - so kind, attentive and gave delicious drink recommendations. We ordered the Monkey Punch (sweet, fruity, and strong rum punch) and an Allagash White beer. Cocktails are $10.50, great pricing to me especially considering location! We ordered the Fish tacos and The Hitman sub with onion rings and they were really delicious. Everything was bursting with flavor and not overly salty. We especially loved the tartar sauce for the tacos and the dipping sauce for the onion rings (reminded me of ketchupy mayo). We unfortunately waited a long time for the food to arrive, like 45 mins - but luckily we were in no rush. The staff did seem busy but there was good music and a nice atmosphere. Megan kept swinging by to give wait updates and apologize and then finally offered us each drinks on the house! I've never had such genuine and friendly service before. And at the end when the bill came, we were pleasantly surprised at the total 😊 Great prices, great food and drinks, and GREATEST service. Really wanna emphasize that Megan truly went above and beyond and made this experience unforgettable! We will definitely be recommending this place to everyone and be coming back here whenever we visit OC. (And they have a good happy hour that we'd wanna stop by for next time hehe.)

Stopped here with my family for dinner after an afternoon at the beach. Friendly and prompt service with tasty food. I had the cowboy chicken sandwich, my husband had the hell burger, my son had the Mac Attack burger, and my daughters had the Delmar burger and a bacon cheeseburger. We sat upstairs with the large doors open and it was breezy which was perfect.

This is amazing place! Was a little difficult to find which door to go in to get in but we turned it into a laughing moment. In case you’re coming for the first time it is the door upstairs. Portions are huge!! All of the food we ordered came out fast and all cooked perfectly. Will definitely add this to the rotation each year!
