We had a great meal here! I ordered the chicken, and my husband had the mixed platter with beef. Both dishes were incredibly tender and flavorful. The wait time was about 15-20 minutes, which was reasonable. Also, the price was good. Overall, we really enjoyed the food and would recommend it!

Small shack right off the beach with a straightforward menu of steak, chicken, salad and rice plates. Steak was cooked and seasoned well and was great with the teriyaki style sauce. Ordered medium rare and although the center wasn't really pink it was still tender and juicy. They don't skimp on the portions; the 14 oz steak plate is enough to feed 2 people. There's a small seating area but best to grab and go eat anywhere along the beach.

Contrary to popular opinion, we didn’t enjoy our signature 6 oz steak plates from this place as there’s too much gristle in the meat that’s unchewable. The positives are it’s close to the beach where we set up the umbrella and the sauces tasted great. For the price, it’s not worth it.

Came here on a Thursday evening and the line wasn’t too bad. I got the 10 oz steak plate. Got the option to do medium rare or medium doneness and I went with medium rare. It came with white rice and salad (I picked Italian dressing). The steak was pretty good; it was juicy and decently tender. The portion size was huge! The teriyaki sauce was also delicious. The food is definitely worth what you pay for. Service was good. The cashier was pretty friendly and nice. The cook was a little more serious and was focused on the job. It took about 20 minutes to get the food after ordering. The place is right by the beach so the environment is pretty relaxing. It is quite literally a shack so there’s no washrooms or big dining spaces. There’s a few spots to sit on. I just took the food back to the hotel. Overall, it was a good experience! Would recommend this as an affordable and delicious meal option by the beach.

The food was good. The steak was nice and tender. Temperature cooked exactly as requested. The only reason it's a 3 stars is because I feel like the worker's didn't want to work and would rather talk to themselves.

Worth the wait, don’t let the line scare you if you see it! Amber was extremely kind and friendly. Nothing beats some amazing steak, rice, and salad right on the beach.

For the price of what you get, this place is an absolute must for everyone and anyone. You have the option of ordering the amount of steak you want on a bed of rice and salad. The staff is very kind and willing to change the portions if you prefer more salad. The steak is cooked to your preferred done-ness. Then you have the option to eat it on their bar stool seating or anywhere on the beach. Plus, if you want beer, they have the cheapest beer right behind the shop to add to your meal. Enjoy!

Delicious tasty steak served with rice and salad. Full of flavour and right on the beach. They ask what salad dressing you want and how you prefer your steak cooked. We asked for well done and it was still tender. It also came with this delicious soy/garlic/teriyaki style dressing which tasted really good tipped over the steak. We were told there was a 20min wait for our dinner and this estimate was spot on. Don’t let the long lineup turn you off. Worth the wait. Paid approx 26 usd for two 6oz steak meals. They also sell drinks. Grab your meal and eat either on the beach or at the tables along the side of the Steak Shack.
