I followed the scent of bbq to Louisiana Charlie’s. There is a smoker in front full of mesquite wood.

Wonderland Ocean Pub
I remember this beach and pier from the days of my youth. Tide pools to the left contain all manner of life from the sea. Sand to the right provided hours of entertainment.
Adalynes Chicken Shack
Adalynes Chicken Shack is a bit like Imperial Fish Market. You can buy fish by the pound and they will fry it for you.
Jay’s Southern Cafe
Alpine has a quiet small town vibe a bit like Julian but without the horde of tourists. Lots of one story buildings and land that hasn’t been paved over.
Niban
I remember coming here for a weekday lunch and there was a line out the door. This time I came at opening time Saturday and there was one party in front of me. Nice employees took my order and were quick getting it out.
Imperial Fish Market
I was in this area alot when Huffman’s Bbq was open. Looks like redevelopment is closing in. Big modern buildings are replacing the single family houses and little family owned businesses.
