Great restaurant to go our with your pooch. Both beef and chicken on menu and boy did my girl eat it up. Staff is very nice and accommodating with pets. Will definitely be back again. Really enjoyed burger and fish sticks. Mud pie was too chocolate-y for my taste but my kid loved it.

Can’t beat a beach side atmosphere while dining, being sitters outside to view the people & sunset is great. Food is ok, fries are great! Service is fast and attentive staff!

I wanted a place where I could relax, have a meal and a few drinks while enjoying the atmosphere and weather of Huntington Beach. I sat on the patio and had an ocean view of the Volleyball Players and Surfers as they were ending the day. The music was perfect - definitely geared towards Gen X and keeping me seated and relaxing. The beer selection was impressive. I found my meal to be enough even though I only ordered a flatbread. The service provided was friendly, professional and attentive, while also being welcoming and detail-oriented. I would definitely return.

Great, huge place right in the beach with a view to the ocean. Our food was great and quickly served. The cake was massive and delicious. Prices are like everywhere, so really a great experience. Highly recommend to come.

Sandy's Beach Shack is the perfect place to stop when you're at the pier in Huntington Beach or after a stroll down Main Street. It's casual, yet trendy, with a fantastic drink menu, beachfront views, and a wonderful menu with specialties for every palate. The service is fast and friendly, and you can sit and enjoy people-watching, surfing, volleyball, the pier happenings, all from your table. I recommend sitting outside to really enjoy its location; during the cooler hours, the heat lamps make it very comfortable.

Relaxed vibe on a weekday lunch time. Big dog friendly and my pup loves it here! He gets lots of attention - LOL. He also gives his full four paw approval for their large chicken/kibble bowl. Service is always awesome, you can't beat the view (today there were fighter jets showing off/buzzing the beach,) and the food is awesome. They should bottle that habanero salsa! Street, small lot or $9 Valet parking. After lunch, walk the pier and soak up that sun. #surfcity

Had a fantastic breakfast here while visiting Huntington Beach. The breakfast potatoes are like crack! So good. My wife had the fish tacos which were delicious as well. The best part was they brought ranch with the fries without even having to ask. Prime location right next to the pier. Laid back beach vibe with great service. Highly recommend!

The hostess that helped us was top notch. She stepped in and brought items that waitress failed to bring even though it was requested when we ordered our meal. Waitress was off, terrible. Food was delicious!! We had the greek salad, amazing and huge. The grilled salmon on top was delicious and cooked very well. The fish and chips was ok, fish seemed to have been sitting a little while too long. We subbed the sweet potato fries - highly recommend if you like those generally.
