How could I have missed this place. Fresh seafood and wonderful crab cakes. Although they do mostly takeout we snagged an outdoor table and had a great meal. Family run and operated for like 40 years. We had the blackened sword fish and crab cake Amazing!! And the vegetarian wife was satisfied with a huge portion of perfectly cooked broccoli spinach and sweet potato. Next time tuna

My apologies for the bad picture but it was so good I started eating. The filet was cooked to perfection as was the lobster tail. Sweet potato and caesar salad were perfect compliments. Service us friendly and food is delicious. Highly recommend the 18th Street Cafe.

This is a PSA (Public Service Announcement) for this restaurant based on my experience in completing reviews of 100’s of restaurants. This place is among the bottom five of all time.

Not sure how we’ve missed this gem after 20+ years coming to BL but it didn’t disappoint. The food was delicious and fresh. It was also prepared in a very reasonable amount of time and ready for pick up when they said. It’s not cheap but the portions were ample.

I really wanted to like this place however I just couldn’t bring myself mentally to a place where I could find the food enjoyable. The bill was 166 dollars for 4 adults and 2 children under 3. I got the ribs and shrimp dinner. The shrimp were so overcooked I bit one and gave the rest to my dogs. The ribs were worse. Not sure how they were prepared but they weren’t smoked, grilled or slow roasted. If I had to guess I would say they were also fried but not in a good tasty korean BBQ kinda way. In a I don’t know how to cook so I am going to try this and see if it works kinda way. The only reason the dogs didn’t get the ribs was the store bought BBQ sauce they put on them.

I love this place. The staff are all family. Makes you feel right at home. Menu is small but they make it up with specials. I had the lobster tail and filet mignon. The lobster was so fresh. Bring money they dont take cards. Old school beach place at it’s best. Cant wait to come back
