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.

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.
