Crocker's

If you’re looking for a delightful place to grab a bite at Balboa Island, Crocker's should definitely be at the top of your list of places to eat in the Newport area!

The owner is very helpful and made us laugh! Definitely great customer service and suggestions.

What we tried:
🥣 Clam Chowder (so good)
🐟 Beer Battered Cod (light & crispy)
🥒 Fried Zucchini (great substitute for fries)
🥧 Pecan pie (warmed)

Everything was delicious!

Stopped here for some clam chowder. The service was great, loved the atmosphere and the clam chowder was delicious!

Lovely cosy traditional style cafe-restaurant on the equally traditional Marine Avenue Balboa island.

Kitchy joint w dollar bills on the walls & solid breakfast burritos all day...Santa Fe, Balboa was good. So was corn dog & chicken Club.

Great nostalgic spot on Balboa Island. Simple classic diner style dogs, burgers, and fries combined with a coffee shop/ bakery. It's definitely worth an afternoon lunch, or evening desert and coffee.

I love their sweets available. I ate there 3 times in 48 hours because there was a nice variety and also the sweets. I had the lemon blueberry tart, the mixed berry cheesecake, and also the buckeye pie. I also had the bratwurst, sweet potato fries and we had breakfast as well. Everything was delicious.

I didn't think I liked corn dogs then I had theirs. Ended up getting a second. Truly a classic and delicious

Small place but good food. They are known for their hotdogs which were tasty! They have a large selection of baked goods. I didn't love the chocolate chip cookies and will try a milkshake next time. My husband got the turkey melt panini and said it was yummy. The turkey was sliced thick and the avocado was fresh. Also came with grilled mushrooms. My little one had a breakfast plate and the eggs were good. Limited seating but we, surprisingly, got an outside table for the 4 of us without waiting.

What an amazing find!! The staff was so nice & the food is excellent! We ordered the Wild & wet chili dog (beef hotdog) and captain’s 911 kraut without the bun for gluten free allergy, delicious!!! Multiple gluten free options available. Muffins and pies and everything looks amazing! You sit and eat and people watch, cool little restaurant and we definitely can’t wait to visit again soon!

This is a very cute little place to stop by for coffee, sweets, a snack or a glass of wine, the server/barista, Sharon, was super sweet and friendly, and the service was very fast.

Awesome lunch for the whole fam! Sandwiches are huge and so tasty, both the garlic and sweet potato fries are spectacular, and be sure to save room for dessert! The hardest thing will be deciding what to order!

Pleasant surprise on Balboa. Pretty good food and excellent coffee. My wife got the spinach and egg plate and I got the classic. We will definitely be back.

This was one of the greatest clam chowders I've ever had in my life. The bread for the bread bowl was so buttery and fresh, the soup itself was seasoned well with rosemary and tasted amazing. It was overall the best food I've had on Balboa island...10/10 would recommend.

Ordered Clam Chowder
I'm from San Francisco where chowder is the best.
However, this was the best, I've eaten and will drive from Seal Beach often.

Delicious clam chowder, yummy pies, and a casual, but hip environment! Staff is nice as well!

This place has so many great hot dogs, burgers and desserts. Quirky atmosphere with some free books of you care to stay and read while you eat. Also has free WiFi.

Cubano sandwich was delicious!! Sweet bbq sauce but not overpowering. A sandwich you definitely need a fork for. Just window shopped their desserts but looked amazing. I finished with a dirty chai latte and definitely a must try if you are a chai fan.

We stopped in to get some dessert to finish off a beautiful evening wandering around Balboa Island. What a delightful experience! It was near closing time, and the owner was there helping us. He was super friendly and fun. That made our time there even more enjoyable! The desserts were delicious. Crocker's is definitely at the top of our list of places to eat in the Newport area! Thanks, John (or Fred)!!

Stopped by for a cup of Joe. Coffee is good and inexpensive. They have a great breakfast and lunch/dinner menu. Will come back and try their breakfast and a slice of pie.

Small place but super busy since everyone wants a piece of the excellent dogs.
