Brophy Bros. - Santa Barbara (CA)

5 /5 Philip Chen: Outstanding clam chowder with rich creamy flavor. You can actually taste the clam meat. Not like other restaurants only have potatoes and no clams. The salad is very fresh and the pasta dish is also delicious. A little more garlic and basil flavor would be even better. Always a good experience every time we go.

5 /5 Shubham Kamdi: Brophy Bros absolutely lived up to the hype. The food was fantastic and the harbor view elevated the whole experience — easily one of the best spots to enjoy a meal with a scenic backdrop. I tried a variety of dishes, including the swordfish, salmon, sea bass, baked clams, calamari, clam chowder, and even the cauliflower sandwich. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The seafood tasted like it came straight off the boat, and the clam chowder was rich and comforting without being overly heavy. Great food, amazing views, and a relaxed coastal vibe — definitely a place I’d return to and recommend to anyone visiting the area.

4 /5 thiri zin: This place is very charming with great views of the boat docks. It was a little busy but we got seats within 15 mins. The downstairs clam bar had limited items from the menu, but had plenty of seats. We ordered the oyster Rockefeller and it was huge, perfectly cooked with a lot of flavor. The burger was decent and the grill fish sandwich (Mahi Mahi was the fish when we went) and was also tasty. Fries were awesome and the pile on the veggies for the sandwich/burger. Parking was a bit confusing because we werent sure if we needed to pay where the signs just said 90 mins to park. There was only 1 sign indicating we needed to pay and it was no where close to where we parked. The staff was nice and attentive.

5 /5 Cindy Nelson: One of my favorite places when I lived here. Whenever we’re in town we usually have our Brophy lunch. We split a cioppino and it was spectacular as usual. Loaded with some of the freshest seafood I’ve had. Very filling for 2 at lunch and reasonably priced. Tatyana, our server was great and you could tell she really likes her job. What better that a hearty bowl of warm cioppino on a rainy day? Thank you Brophy Beothers for hitting it out of the park once again. You never disappoint- Merry Christmas!
