Philly cheesesteak was real good . Probably even better then there hamburgers they're rated real high for . Restaurant AC was not working at all . 100+ degrees day and looked like they were not in a hurry to fix it . If I owned a restaurant and the AC was out . I would offer FREE bottled water, Ice Tea . And maybe even soft drinks . Not a lot of choices in Surfside . We stayed a week and would have come back, but not to eat in a non air conditioned restaurant . read more

Awesome dive bar with great food. Owner, bar backs, and cooks are excellent in all regards. Very friendly and outgoing. Prices here for beer and food are very nice- meaning low. Beer was 3.00 but went 3.25. Still okay. Menu is very good with a good variety. read more

Super friendly local place. Great breakfast, burgers, and Philly cheesesteaks! Went every day while at Surfside. Can't wait to visit again! read more

It was weird walking in but I'm proud of myself for actually staying to eat instead of grabbing my meal to go. Small and quaint dive if you want a burger, philly cheesesteak, salad. They also have a kids menu. Pool table is there and a few tvs. They have a good selection beer. Everyone seemed laid back which was ok by me on a Friday night. read more

The perfect place near the beach to eat, drink, and make memories! Phenomenal Philly Cheese Steaks! Wonderful service! Will definitely be back every time I am in the area! read more

It's a hole in the wall type place for locals. The food is good but it's a sweat factory during the summer.

The location is convenient to pick up food to go if you stay in Surfside near the Jetty area. The club sandwich was good, the fries were good, the chicken strips were just okay. read more

We came here on recommendation about having the Philly cheesesteak fries, went inside and it was pretty dark and a small entry There is a long bar on the side with a view of the cooks & the kitchen, was greeted and told to sit anywhere, we decided to sit at the outdoor picnic table. We placed our order & went outside. Order came in a timely fashion and looked as good as it tasted. Perfectly cooked fries and delicious chunks of meant, good portions of onion bell pepper and some mushrooms all sautéed and smothered with cheese. Very tasty- now it's my turn to recommend it to you! If you like a philly sandwich this is a fun alternative. read more

I have no clue what rating to give this place. On one hand the burger was one of the best I've had in a long time and the lady that was working was so super nice and sweet. On the other hand, I won't be going back to this place. See, they allow smoking, as it is a bar, and I just can't stand cigarette smoke. We walked in and as soon as we saw the ashtrays we we super hesitant but we were super hungry and there wasn't anyone in there. But we still walked out, sat in the car then went back in as the lady inside promised us one of the best burgers around. Plus there were a couple outside tables if someone came in smoking. And they did, so we moved outside and actually the view was nice, the day was gorgeous and if it weren't for the spider crawling on me it would have been perfect. I know I took his spot but ew spiders. Anyway those burgers were fantastic! I got a plain cheeseburger as I didn't want anything on mine and was worried it would be dry but absolutely no worry about that! That burger was so juicy and had so much melty cheese on it and such a delicious taste! It seriously was so good!! The fries were good and fresh and seasoned but I'm not a big French fry eater so gave most of mine to hubby as usual. It looks like a little hole in the wall, and it is. It's a smoky little bar but this was the cleanest place I've been in in forever too. When we walked in it smelled like bleach which at least tells me they had been cleaning and the bathrooms were spotless! But damn, that cigarette smoke. Otherwise this would be a definite 5 star. I'll still give it 4 though for the great food, cleanliness and the super friendly lady that was working. I just sadly won't be back. read more

This is a great little lunch place and like it's name right next to the jetty and the beach. We got the recommended chili cheese steak smothered fries, it's actually in the appetizer section and is enough for two people! Great food, super super super friendly staff and managers. read more

BLT-bacon overcooked, thin ribbon of mayo, bread saturated in butter, yet tasted overwhelmingly of grill spray, tomatoes sourish, fries cold, no sweet tea, asked for an extra cocktail sauce for shrimp basket-and cook screamed across room "I already put one in there" shrimp hard as rock, also cold fries. only had canned drinks...room temperature. Blah! waitresses were very kind. Won't be back. read more

the food was great, but they allow smoking inside. when I asked the owner about it he told me if I didn't like it I could go outside! never going back no matter how good the food! read more

Nice little place to grab a bite to eat with the kids. Prices are very reasonable. My kids had chicken tenders and corn dog with fries from kids menu and I had the BLT. Nice size portions I would say overall. Service was very pleasant and welcoming. All in all I would definitely stop by again when in the beach. read more

I'm not rating the food The hours are not miel the maps or here says the are We got there at 9:30 on Saturday night and the hours says the close at 1 am The cook and the bar girl told is they are behind in orders they are not taking anymore and there was only 4 orders on the line Maybe get more cooks or fix the time Because we drove 35 minutes for those burgers read more

We went to several restaurants in Surfside beach during our stay and this one was the worst. I have no clue where the good reviews come from. The fries were cold when served, the main dishes were just okay, but by far the worst part was that the service was extremely slow. From the time we sat down to the time we left was 2 hours and we ordered right away (ordered at the same time as our drink order), and ate our food in about 10 minutes. We were in a hurry and had no idea it would take 1.5 hours to get our food and another 30 minutes to get our check after asking for it a few times. The tables were sticky and the restaurant had hardly any light on top of it all. I wouldn't recommend! read more

We took some time off and stayed at Surfside this past weekend. For dinner one night, we stopped by The Jetty Shack. My wife, daughter and I sat inside and ordered some food. The place was not busy for a Saturday Night. It took a while to get the food to us, so imagine my disappointment when my daughter's Cod was ice cold in the center. We sent the plate back and received a new plate. This time, the Cod was cooked thru, or at least fried long enough. My wife's food and mine was very good. I had the Philly Cheese Steak and she had the Philly Salad. The waitress forgot our side of Fried Pickles. I had to remind her. Also, I had ordered onion rings instead of fries for my side. I got fries instead. I didn't bother to ask for the onion rings since it took quite a while to get our food in the first place. All in all, it was a decent place to grab a bite in a town with not many options. Heck, the Pizza at the local convenience store was probably the best pizza we have had in a while!! read more

I visited this establishment based on reviews on a recent trip to the gulf. The food was average. The onion rings were good but when I placed my order to go, I requested ranch and got none. Plus, when I went in, the two ladies working behind the bar hadn't even started my order, which I'd placed 15 minutes prior. Plus, as a non smoker, it kind of grossed me out that there was a guy smoking at the bar, literally 5 feet from where my Food was prepared. read more

We all loved our food, it was delicious! The service was good and we sat down right away.

Decided to try this place during an outing with family. Very friendly atmosphere, would probably be a cool place to hang out with friends for drinks... Now about the food. Big ole NOPE from us! We ordered several different burgers, and the chili cheese fries. No one in our group like their burgers. They were VERY bland. The patties were large, I'll give them that, but they tasted like they had been frozen and not seasoned. Fries were good. Chili wasn't good at all! There are limited food choices in the area; I'd make the drive to the next city before eating here again! read more

The people and food at Jetty Shack are amazing! We'll definitely be back soon! We had the onion rings and Philly Fries... deliciousness.

Shack is right but the fresh made burger is awesome. It's just a little bar with limited seating and you'll love it.

Great little place, burgers are fantastic! We will definitely be eating there again. The breakfast burger was great with an egg on it, yummy! read more

Wow! The food here is so, so good! We had the Philly Cheesesteak, absolutely delicious! We also had a burger which was one of the best I've ever had! I'm a huuuuuge burger snob. Fries were top notch! Burger is a 8.1 out of 10. The only reason it didn't receive 5 stars from me is because they allow smoking inside. I know, it's disappointing. BUT!!!! They have outdoor seating! Bring bug spray and enjoy a burger. It's worth the slight annoyance. read more

Came here for the first time for Super Bowl LV and had the Southwest Burger. It was great! I came the next day and got the Breakfast Burger which was fantastic too. Everyone was kind and friendly. Overall good experience. Heads up, this is a smoker friendly bar. read more

This is surfside beach best kept secret. The burgers and fries are the best on island!

Cool little place. Great food. Nice service. The shrimp was fresh and good. Nice server.

The food was fantastic and the environment was welcoming and fun! The people working there were very attentive and considerate of our needs and made sure we didn't lack anything. We had the onion rings and Philly Fries and they were fantastic!! Definitely will be there again soon. read more

Average food at best. Very disappointed. For all the hype on the burgers, found the food lacked seasoning. Wendy's has better burgers. Can see that it could be a good little bar if you're staying in one of the beach houses. read more

We love this place. Food is great and the wait staff is friendly. Easy, yummy and delicious!

Fun & super casual place with great service & awesome Philly cheesesteak!!! Only beer & wine, but, feel free to bring your own liquor. Also, grab food to go! Yummy wings & great fries! read more

We went on Friday night. Not a place for kids. People were smoking, it was extremely hot, and very dark inside. We ended up sitting outside and we're more comfortable there, at least we had some kind of breeze outside. The food was subpar. It tasted like everything was frozen, and had an old grease taste to it. read more

Awesome breakfast burger, service was excellent atmosphere was relaxing. I love the old 70s country music that was playing wasn't the only music but true Texas small bar and restaurant. read more

I'm from out of town and did not know this was a bar. People were smoking indoors. This is not a place for children.

Went to The Jetty Shack for Lunch with my son. We ordered their Juicy Burgers of course! Not disappointed at all. Place is very causal and great place for a Burger and Beer. Come as you are, used to people coming from the beach. read more

Jetty Shack - Awesome little place in Surfside really good Burgers! Get plenty of Napkins for these Juicy Burgers! - Burgers Near Me - Surfside Beach, Texas

Honest rate. Food was ok. It was not any eye opening special. Freshly fried fries, kind owner, little small spot locally. But its nothing special where you have to go check. I had a chicken burger which was pretty good. Chicken wings were not good. read more

All aspects were fine. We had burgers and fried mushrooms. Staff was professional and friendly. Service was good!

If you set your expectations correctly, you should have a great greasy meal. Pros: their hamburgers are really really good. I ordered the deluxe with jalapenos added, and it was devoured in record time. Really great grease dripping down your knuckled kind of burger. Cons: Wait time for food can sometimes be painfully slow. We sat down, ordered and got our food around the 50 minutes mark. Drinks were coming in while we waited and the Texans were on to entertain us, but it was really really slow going for food. The bartender/waitress was also covering the cooking. Not sure if that's normal but it obviously is too much to handle for one person. Interior is a salty dive bar. Various beer ads and knick knacks on the wall. They do allow smoking inside, in case you're allergic or just not a fan. Wine and beer only, but they do offer setups if you want to bring your own bottle of hard stuff. There was a large contingent of locals and regulars hanging about and everyone was very friendly. Long story short, if you're in the area or taking a break from fishing the jetty, this should be in consideration if you're hungry for a burger. Just make sure you've got an hour to kill before you're ready to eat. read more
