Brophy Bros Review

The oysters were so great and the view was beautiful.

Always consistently good food. Great atmosphere and location. Can't be beat

Very Limited menu, service poor. Only good thing was view from upper deck, will NOT go back.

Great clam chowder and beautiful view of the harbor. Our favorite spot.

I sincerely enjoy the foods here, and I'm thankful for their servers because they were able to perform their job incredibly. The foods that I ordered was really delicious and kudos to the chef who made it. It was indeed that best restaurant that I have ever tried! I highly recommend it to everyone!

This place not only has a great view but also has great food. The GBC's (garlic backed clams) are Devine. Tonight I had the seafood pasta which was ok bit my wife had the sea bass and it wad delicious. Their clan chowder is also very good. Great place

Excellent food, great atmosphere & the staff is very friendly. I had the beer battered fish & chips, with fries & coleslaw. Everything was delicious & the food was nice & hot. You get to look out over Ventura Harbor while you eat & the view is very relaxing. Highly recommend to everyone to come & check it out!

I always love eating at Brophy Bros. but today our server Nikki (hoped I spelled it right) was A-Mazing!! She and the rest of her team treated us with care, they were very friendly, and gave us the kind of service I wish I could get every place I go.

Even though they're operating with a reduced menu, ALL of my favorites are still on the menu! If you want great seafood go to Brophy Bros in Ventura!

Compared to seafood restaurants in the Pacific Northwest the food is ok. Shellfish dishes are very good, while I find the chowder and fish dishes to be average. The wait staff and view are as good as it gets.

Awesome staff, shot out to Shane and Taylor. Great oysters and perfect clam chowder.

Unexpected surprise. Blown away by the happy hour portions. Steamers and bread are all you need but everything is good

This is my favorite bar whenever I go from Washington dc to San Francisco.The drinks are luscious and always made right.My favorite Brophy Bros. Seafood Restaurant & Clam Bar.He's always pleasant and upbeat and busy,busy ,busy but always attentive.

For what I paid I didn't eat enough. Service quite slow w I had a dirty spoon for the soup. Fish is good, also the soup is tasty. Not the same for the shrimps.

Great food, service, pricing and l ok cation right on the water, plenty of tourist type shopping. Parking free and plentiful.

We ate at Brophy Bros. yesterday and every meal was excellent. Chris our server was the best! The restaurant overlooks the harbor, so we had great food, excellent service and an amazing view. If I could give them 6 stars I would.

Spectacular views and food! Service was solid and beer was cold and refreshing....this place is great for reasonably priced food and drinks with endless views. The clam chowder and the fish & chips were delish. Great stop in the Ventura area. We'll be back for sure - great happy hour!

Great food and lovely view. Plus fresh bread! The fish and chips can be made super quick too!

The restaurant is very plain & simple, but the Burritos & Tacos are the best I have ever tasted - healthy & filling at realistic prices for fish which is relatively expensive. The rest of the menu is inviting and the food looks very good. The food is so good that I did not use any of its free special

I have eaten here 3 times and two of the three times were great. One time though I was at the bar and the bartender was going on and on to a patron about being in law school and how its so hard and the tests and blah blah. Meanwhile he was chatting so long that he missed putting in my order on happy hour, I arrived about 10 min before happy hour ended mind you. And he refused to put my order in and snatched the happy hour menu out of my hand and said, "That's over." I was like whoa dude chill. Anyway, the other times were great and the food is amazing. Try the ceviche. Everything is very fresh. Shrimp are enormous in the shrimp cocktail.

We came here for the first time for lunch the other day. Small cocktails, high cost to food ratio, and I found the Cajun seasoning had a very sharp, unpleasant flavor, unlike any other time I've had Cajun seasoned fish. The fish was otherwise good, and everything else wasn't bad. It's also a very loud place.

One of my favorite places to eat. One of the best in Santa Barbara. I make it a point to go whenever I am in town.

Great place with a lot of history. Food is ok. I tried the salmon salad.

Great atmosphere and the view is awesome. Food and Service are some of the best in that area.

Decent. Lots of young people here. I'm not a fan of seafood, so I'm predisposed to rate low, but everyone else liked it!

Very good food and great service. Our serve Tina and the manager were so nice and kind.

Good service, limited menu and a little pricey. Sea Bass was $28.50. Clam Chowder was excellent.

Staff was so wonderful and the food/drinks were great.

We drove to Ventura for the day just to get out of town. It's an easy drive. you can leave here about 9 get there in time for a lunch and get back long before dark. A nice day away our lunch at Brophy Brothers. What's good. I personally am not a seafood person at all but the people with me are. One person ordered ahi tuna salad said it was delicious the other person had fettuccine alfredo with crab and scallops she said it was delicious.. I had a burger oh, it was a burger. Lol when you go to a seafood restaurant most of the time you don't get much choice if you want something not seafood LOL so I wasn't disappointed at all my burger was fine but I think they enjoyed your lunch a lot more than I did and that's okay too. Service was good it was nice sitting upstairs where you can see out the window the view was a nice view of the marina. I would gladly go back there again.

We came in here, after spending the day at the beach, expecting awesomeness... Needless to say, we were kind of disappointed. After putting our name on the list, we were told it would be a 20 minute wait... 45+ minutes later we still hadn't been beeped. The hostess was sweet enough to come over and check on us, realized that we should have been seated a while ago and that our pager wasn't working. The service was ok and the food was ok. The table we had was fantastic with an amazing view of the harbor... that was the best part of our visit. I don't think we'll be returning here any time soon.

The view of this restaurant is soooo GORGEOUS! I took my wife here last weekend and enjoyed not only the experience, but also the food! The clams are delicious!

They have the best burgers and the clam chowder is so yummy.

Eveything was amazing! Fantastic service, Fries were just normal.

We had a great time! The service was good and the food was even better! This was a true treat! Coming from the midwest on vacation. I wanted some good seafood! The food was great! The swordfish was to die for and the Sea-bass was delicious!!! The clam chowder was killer too!! I loved that Einstok White Ale they we serving! Loved it!!

Staff was great! Very courteous and helpful. Clam chowder was served luke warm.

Consistently good food, fair pricing. Good happy hour. Gets busy during tourist season.

The service was amazing and the food was even better. If your in Ventura head to Brophy Bros.

Great seafood. The Cajun Sea Bass was excellent but the coleslaw was amazing.

I was very impressed with the service they actually knew a drink that is not common clam chowder is on point ;-) so definitely come to Harbor Town point and enjoy a good bowl of clam chowder

This restaraunt is autism friendly! When my son became overwhelmed by the noise level they were very understanding. They turned off the music and moved us to a quieter section of the restaraunt.

Fantastic views, great food and service by Jacob wonderful time

Great evening at Brophy Bros with my friend. I love a good restaurant that has a fun clientele too.

Great seafood. A bit on the pricy side, but worth it for the quality of both food and service. Elevator made it very convenient for my disabled grandmother.

Very nice view on patio. Bobbyhall.fathomrealty.com

OMGooodness. Clam Chowder and Fish and Chips. Perfect way to warm up on a cool night. First time there. Great food and great service. Highly recommend

Food was amazing...service was ok...they were very busy tho.

Place isn't bad for disabled people.
Their fish and chips are a bit of a guilty pleasure for me, but all the food I've had here is good. Like that they have outdoor seating available.
Plan for a wait, the place is almost always busy, but worth the wait...

It took over 30minutes for our order of 7 to be taken and served abour 45minutes after that. Then the clam chowder wasn't hot and the fried clams were over cooked. Disappointing for a birthday celebration.

Love the atmosphere...
The clam chowder Soup is great...
Great views...
Always a wonderful experience!

Awesome atmosphere and perfect food! Always order a side skewer of grilled squash/bellpeppers/onions! Our server was named Heidi and she was very helpful, attentive and made us laugh!
