Eric's on the Pier
Eric's on the Pier Review
This little snack bar has been an Avalon family-run institution since the 1920s. A favorite of Fodor's readers, it's a good place to people-watch while munching a breakfast burrito, hot dog, or signature buffalo burger. Most of the action (and seating) is outside, but you can also sit down at a table inside and dine on a bowl of homemade clam chowder in a baked bread bowl or an order of fish-and-chips.
