Directly off the Mission Beach boardwalk at 714 Ventura Pl in the 92109, Kojack's Restaurant is a family-owned Mediterranean and Greek restaurant where the owner still works the kitchen and prepares the food himself. The menu centers on gyros — lamb, beef, and chicken — served as sandwiches or plated with rice, pita, Greek salad, and house-made tzatziki, but it stretches into burgers, Philly cheesesteaks, fish and chips, chicken tenders, pizza, falafel, and breakfast plates served starting at 9 a.m. Beachgoers coming off the nearby roller coasters at Belmont Park will find Kojack's less than a two-minute walk south on Ventura Place, and that range of options has helped the restaurant maintain a 4.6-star rating across more than 465 Google reviews. Visitors regularly note that the food quality far exceeds what the casual storefront suggests. Kojack's rebuilt and reopened after a fire damaged the building and a neighboring business, a detail that Tripadvisor reviewers have noted with admiration for the owner's commitment to the location. The restaurant earned a 96-out-of-100 health inspection score and keeps its prices in the single-digit-to-low-teens range, making it one of the more affordable sit-down options near the beach. Dogs are welcome at both indoor and outdoor seating, and the staff is known for offering treats to four-legged visitors. Families with children will find high chairs, a kids' menu, and Wi-Fi on-site. The homemade baklava is a quiet highlight that repeat visitors recommend as a finish to any meal, and the freshly baked pita bread arrives warm enough to pull apart. Kojack's is open daily from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. and offers delivery through Uber Eats and Postmates, though the patio seating with its view of passing boardwalk foot traffic makes dining in the better option. Mediterranean food fans exploring the neighborhood can compare the gyro plates here with the wraps at Shawarma Shack further up Garnet Avenue. Free parking is available on-site, and the restaurant accepts credit cards, debit cards, and NFC mobile payments.
