What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Big Chill Beach Club is lauded for its stunning beach and bridge views, vibrant atmosphere, and generally good food and drinks. While many praise the friendly service and lively ambiance, some diners have noted issues with inconsistent food quality and portion sizes, as well as loud music during certain times. The beachfront location and party-like feel make it a popular spot for both families and groups.
"We walked here from the campground across the street on a Sunday evening. We had heard varying reviews of them being dog friendly, so I went up and asked and was told that we could get food to go and sit in a "sandpit area". So that's what we did.
The sand put is a cute little area with a beach be that is much larger than it looks at first glance. It has tons of little private alcoves to sit in small parties and a large area with Adirondack chairs, tables to set your drinks, and fun outdoor games surrounded by Beach decor. They have cornhole, Jenga, connect 4 for, etc with colorful surfboards and chairs with market lights hanging overhead to decorate the area. Super cute!
Food was made quick and came out. Very tasty. We got the fish tacos and the french fries were incredible! Super tasty!
We really enjoyed ourselves and so did our pups as we sat and ate our tacos watching the sunset over the bridge with our feet in the sand."

"Can’t beat the view - ambiance is perfectly beachy, food was FAST and tasty, servers and bartenders were friendly and quick. We enjoyed fish tacos, shrimp tacos, shrimp roll, fish and chips, and land & surf burger over two visits. Lemon crush was eh and the cherry lime crush tasted like a sweet-tart but my daughter loved it. To each her own!"

"Absolutely recommend stopping here. We’re from the Pittsburgh area, and stop every time we come down. The food was delicious, the drinks fantastic, and our server was amazing. She made our visit even better. The atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for."
