Review Sandys Beach Shack - Huntington Beach

Went here with a large group and had no problem getting seated together. Drinks are yummy and food was hot. The steak tacos were great. Clean bathrooms.

Welcome to Sandy's in Huntington Beach. This restaurant is on the beach at the start of the pier. With an option to sit indoors or outdoors, we elected for outdoors and were immediately seated. The menu was diverse, offering starters, burgers, seafood entrees, tacos filled with chicken, steak, salmon, mahi mahi, swordfish, and more. The service was attentive, but could improve on friendly interaction. The appetizer and entrees were wonderfully flavorful. Yet, for the price, we were disappointed with the portion sizes. The atmosphere on the beach is exceptional and the view is stunning.

The food was delicious. Our waitress was very nice, great customer service. I highly recommend their fries. They have good seasoning.

... Great place to meet friends or family, on the wet side of PCH, out the front door and you are 20 steps to the sand or up some steps and you are on the pier, the spiritual center of Huntington Beach 🏖️ ... My niece took me there for dinner and I enjoyed it so much I went back with an old friend for lunch... ... I will definitely be back the next time I visit the crazy coast...

Fun vibe, grrat beach views. Food good. Nice casual, homey place in HB to catch the sunset, get a few drinks, bites, and chill with the beach breezes and sunshine.

I love it when I pick the right place to eat. Sandy's is beside the Pier and can be easily missed. You have to take the stairs beside the Pier down to beach level to get to it. It's situated beside the path that runs along beside the beach, so if you're a people watcher you can watch people stroll, jog or rollerblade by. The beach and water are right there to enjoy. The service was quick and very friendly. I ordered the Alaskan Cod and it was delicious. I heard similar exclamations of praise about the food from tables around mine. If you're at Huntington Beach, this restaurant should be part of your experience.

Alright this was an interesting but overall great experience! We arrived and were seated immediately as requested on a window view looking out towards the beach! We got our drinks (water) placed with our server Krista not sure how to spell her name tbh. We got our drinks and it took about 10 minutes before we saw our waitress to take our orders, she did look busy. Then we placed out order: Sword fish tacos, fish n chips, and a *Cup of clam chowder. You may ask why the asterisk, well I was served the bowl in the sourdough bread which normally I dont order sour dough just because I’ve never liked it. The kitchen staff told me they would mention it and have them charge me for the cup which was a difference of $7. I ate it and OMG, It is incredible, including the bread, yes I said it the sourdough bread is amazing at this restaurant. We are for about 25-30 minutes and I’m not kidding you our waitress never showed to check on us perhaps because I didn’t make eye contact to ask for anything but we just were not checked on which was a first in my dining experience. Not to mention we observed her drinking at the bar.. not sure how that works but that’s not for me to comment further on. When she noticed we were done she made her way back to ask us for dessert and we declined asking for our ticket to find that we were charged in full for the clam chowder. I told her that I ordered the cup with her and she said she would tell the manager Scott whom came to our table to tell us “she placed the order in front of you” which was on a handheld device so I didn’t know I was suppose to verify my own order, maybe a simple read back would be smart. After I told him what I ordered and received I informed him I loved it! And I would gladly pay for it, I just didn’t specifically order that because than it would have been too much food! He then was very polite and went to change the price which took him 15 minutes to do due to POS issues he tried 3 computers, and finally waived the charge. I thanked him and we moved on. My point is the time was not worth it for the $7 but then we enjoyed the fire pit as we waited and honestly would come back every time we are here

Love the atmosphere, foods and customer services here. Pet friendly . I saw lots of cute puppies here made me miss my favorite Corgi CoopCoop.

Love the happy hour and sunset views. A causal spot with good food and a fun vibe. Bonus you get to watch all the beach goers playing volleyball or biking by. Great cocktails and delicious food. I had the blackened fish and grilled pineapple. Highly recommend. Make sure to top by if you are in the area.

I have been here a few times and always enjoyed it. The tostadas are a bit small compared to their other meals, but was enough to suffice. We were able to walk in at six pm on a Saturday, so we got lucky! I have had the ahi fish sandwich too and would suggest it! Our food came out pretty quick. Bathrooms were in need of tlc, which brings a star off for me.

Had a very nice beachside brunch. The skillet was super loaded with chorizo and potato, but wish it came with tortillas or toast, took me a while till I could the waitress again to ask for some. But overall it was good, and it is busy so completely understand the waitress not being able to come around very quickly. The Mahi Tacos were also delicious, the habenerno sauce they give you is a good spicy dip!!

Fantastic Service. Great food. Very quick service. Great beach view. Marvelous atmosphere.

This place would be a 5 star all around because of the view and location but the dog disturbance every time I go takes away from the view of the beach and the pier. I love dogs but dog owners letting their dogs lay in the walk ways makes it hard to walk around and when they bark at other dogs like today it took away from the rest of the great atmosphere let alone scary the pigeons which then fly over my table. I'd go here more often if dogs weren't allowed to lay along the Walk ways and dog owners were better about othe people's peace of mind. The prices are good as is the food but maybe the staff can cater to the patrons instead of the dogs?

Nice casual spot on the boardwalk at Huntington Beach. Unassuming and friendly. Comfort food at the beach. 😋

Sandy’s Beach shack is the perfect location to enjoy American food and enjoying a drink with friends and family while looking at the ocean. Great sea food - shrimp and lobster, scallops , crab cake. We all tried each one and loved them. Great salads and burgers too. Enjoy every moment and every bite.

Amazing experience, started with Buffalo wings, I went for the Swordfish tacos, and my wife had Asada tacos, everything was delicious! Staff was super friendly, food came out promptly, is affordable and being right next to the beach made for a great experience. Definitely a must visit!

LOVED THIS PLACE, just came here for vacation and a quick stop at Huntington Beach and loved this little gem. Located right on the beach with a beautiful view and such an amazing surfer vibe. The burger I had was amazing and cooked just right plus the egg and bacon were just delicious. Will come back here everytime.

One of my favorite location in Huntington Beach. Great good and drinks.
