Our Story
Fresh Food. Marina Views. Genuine Hospitality
Discover what makes The Waterfront Grill a favorite destination for waterfront dining, handcrafted drinks, and unforgettable marina views in National City.

Built Around the Marina
Where the View Is Part of the Experience
Located at Pier 32 Marina in National City, The Waterfront Grill is a casual dockside destination serving great food, handcrafted cocktails, and craft beers with uninterrupted waterfront views. Created as a neighborhood gathering place on the marina, we've built our menu around the dishes people come back for, from juicy smash burgers and Baja fish tacos to fresh local favorites. Whether you're arriving from the docks or the neighborhood, The Waterfront Grill has become a place where good food, genuine hospitality, and life on the water naturally come together.

Inspired by the Coast
Fresh Ingredients. Local Favorites
Our menu celebrates the kind of food people genuinely enjoy, from juicy Double Smash Burgers and Baja Fish Tacos to crispy Fish & Chips, handcrafted cocktails, and refreshing craft beers. We believe great meals start with quality ingredients and are best enjoyed with the people around you. That's why every visit is about more than what's on the plate. It's about creating a place where conversations last a little longer, families feel at home, friends reconnect, and every meal comes with the backdrop of the marina.
