The Reel Inn was a seafood restaurant on the Pacific Coast Highway in the unincorporated community of Topanga, California, Los Angeles County, United States.^[1]^[2] Located adjacent to the city of Malibu, it was opened in 1986 by Andy Leonard; twenty years later, it was described as a "landmark of glorious decrepitude" in the New York Times.^[3] It was destroyed in the Palisades Fire in January 2025.^[2]

An "iconic Los Angeles fish shack," the interior of the Reel Inn was decorated with old surfboards. Food was ordered at an outside counter and served through a window on paper plates.^[4] The menu was written daily on a chalkboard, and specials incorporated puns such as "O Sole Mio" and "Salmon Chanted Evening".^[5]^[6] It was a hangout for actors and musicians including Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty.^[7]

In 2001, the land on which the Reel Inn sits was acquired by a conservation group and became part of Topanga State Park.^[8] The California Department of Parks and Recreation identified the Reel Inn as a historical resource and a visitor service, allowing it to remain in business in the park.^[9]

The owners announced their intention to rebuild the restaurant and began a GoFundMe account to support their employees on January 22, 2025.^[10]
