    The surfer sandwich
    Natalie L.

    Very chill and relaxing vibe! I definitely recommend the outdoor seating. It's perfect for chitchatting with friends while enjoying the amazing view. The food was good--not amazing, but still enjoyable. Service was nice and friendly. I'd come back more for the atmosphere, view, and a relaxing time with friends.

    2026 review 07.31.2026 Was hungry, they took us in immediately! Sat outside at the patio area overlooking the beach. The Surf Opening was occurring that day. Got to feel the ambiance and vibe beachside. Ordered a Ceviche plate and a Bottle of Champagne aka mimosa using Guava and POG juice. All were served within 15 minutes. The waiter was courteous and kind. He kept checking on us to make sure we were good. Kudos to him for being professional and attentive to us. I appreciate that very much. Overall, had another great experience at this location. This is the closes restaurant by the pier. You are paying for the ambiance. Also a warning, if you want breakfast.. this is not the place. Everything on the menu is Lunch or Dinner. "Wait time varies on Event taking place by the pier."

    This is a beautiful location right next to the Huntington Beach Pier. The parking lot adjacent to the restaurant was completely full, and after circling around for a while looking for a spot, we ended up parking across the street in the Main Street parking structure. We were planning to visit both the restaurant and the farmers market, so it worked out just fine. The restaurant is located directly below Duke's, which is another spot I'd like to try in the future. I actually came here because I saw their clam chowder bread bowl on the website, and I've been on the hunt for a really good clam chowder. When we arrived, the restaurant was pretty busy. I requested outdoor seating, and the host was kind enough to accommodate us right away. The patio offers a beautiful view overlooking the beach, which made for a great dining experience. For our meal, we ordered the Spinach & Artichoke Dip as an appetizer, along with the Chowder Bowl, Bikini Paddle Salad, Steakhouse Tacos, and Fish & Chips. The chowder bowl was very good. I especially appreciated that they make the chowder in-house. It was loaded with potatoes and had a rich, creamy flavor. My only complaint is that I would have liked a few more clams. The Steakhouse Tacos were delicious and had a unique flavor thanks to the addition of blue cheese crumbles. The Spinach & Artichoke Dip was also served in a bread bowl, which was a nice touch. The Fish & Chips were probably the weakest dish of the meal. According to my mom, the fish was a bit bland. However, she really enjoyed the Greek-style salad that came with her meal. Overall, this is a great spot to check out if you're spending the day at the beach. Between the ocean views, friendly service, and solid menu options, it's definitely worth a visit.

    I wanted to eat somewhere on the beach front, so everyone was telling me "do Sandy's" and so I went. I believe there was a wait time to sit outside but I didn't care so I sat inside instead. I ordered the Mahi tacos and the tacos were tasty. I like the choice of pico that they added. The pico gives it that light taste of the fish. What I wasn't too crazy about was the choice of kale salad. It was mid. I wouldn't do the kale salad again. I wasn't full after eating my food so I ended up order fries at the end lol With my hard seltzer of course ~ oh yea! They give you a reusable drink sleeve if you purchase a canned drink.

    The view of the beach is why you visit this iconic restaurant. We had an out of town guest so it was a natural stop after a walk on the beach. The food is good but nothing special. The service staff was friendly but slow. It was busy and once we ordered the food came out fast. They allowed our pup and had a small dog menu so that was a perk of the lunch too.

    I live in Huntington Beach and I love coming to Sandy's with my pup! I was here last night. I'm just having some dinner and Jayson my server, he gave excellent service. He was so nice and he helped me and my dog with her plate and brought her some water and was just a very kind person.. I really appreciate great service, I didn't eat last night, but I normally do and I love the Aho Poke Tower, and I love the paddleboard salad and the flatbreads!

    There are a TON of places to eat in downtown Huntington Beach, but Sandy's on the Pier keeps climbing my list every time I go back. This last visit sealed the deal. Ocean view (basically on the sand), cold beers, good prices, and honestly one of the best ahi sandwiches I've had in a long time. So many ahi sandwiches are bland and forgettable... this one came out swinging. The tuna had a bold peppered flavor, the sauce absolutely carried the whole thing, and every bite had that "okay, THIS is why people come back here" vibe. The sweet potato fries were fresh and crispy, and somehow even the ranch deserved a shoutout. But the real magic is the atmosphere. Where else can you basically sit on the sand with little internal fire pits going, ocean breeze blowing, a great bar setup, tons of beer choices, and just an all-around laid back beach energy? It feels like classic Huntington Beach without trying too hard. Service was great, food was excellent, and the whole place just has that "stay another hour" feeling. Big thumbs up. High-five beach vibe all the way around. I'll definitely be coming back here a lot more often. L

    We picked Sandy's specifically to hear steel drum music. They had live music on a Sunday with Danny Williams from 2pm to 6pm It was super busy. We were really happy to be able to get a seat outside close to here him. The restaurant is right on the beach by Huntington Beach pier it has a huge inside with a wraparound bar and then a smaller patio outside. Our waitress Tracy took good care of us. She made recommendations. I had the Miami Vice, which was a beautiful combination a piña colada with strawberry my husband had some cold beer. We enjoyed the ceviche although a little disappointing it didn't have any avocado even though stated on the menu. Drink some food were great if I had to give one downside, it is a 90 minute turnaround for table and listening to the music with breaks between sets It wasn't a lot of time but well definitely be back!

    When in HB and wanting a drink by the beach, make sure you stop at Sandy's! We had already eaten but were craving dessert so we shared a strawberry cheesecake. It was pretty big and greet for 3 people and oh, so delish! We had cocktails and they were all very good, nice and strong at a decent price. Their ambiance is totally casual and fun. You can't beat the views of the beach and ocean while sipping on a drink. I love that they have a small section of Dog Menu items too! Very dog friendly!

    For lunch today, I've decided to hit up a beach front restaurant in Surf City (Huntington Beach) called Sandy's Beach Shack. Located in the same building where The Duke's is at, lower level. Today was Wednesday, it was sunny and cool here. I've sat at the patio area for fresh air with nice beach view and food. My first time here, the server highly recommended the tacos which by the way it's known for. For like hunger side, the burgers are highly recommended. I've decided on the Mahi Tacos which I've never actually had before. Presentation of the Mahi Tacos looks stunning with that habanero sauce aside made it even better. Took a bite of that, and it's sooo delicious. I feel it was enough to satisfy my hunger. Before I left, I've made sure to order that big o mud pie. That thing was huge and very delicious. For $13, it was very reasonable. Tacos was $20.45... Mud Pie was $13 like I said. Not bad for a beach front restaurant. Overall..... Will be back again when I'm in the area again.

    My customer Locals Burger and my wifey had the Margarita Flatbread, cooked to perfection. Love the Fish & Chips.
    Bill W.

    We had Ashley as our super server, she always had a smile and paid attention to details, top notch service!! I have a super beverage and a delicious local burger with Double patty added a fried egg. Food was delicious and served quickly. Fun and friendly staff and steel drums on Sunday. Awesome Great ambiance!

    Punch cocktail
    Sarah H.

    We don't frequent here enough. We came with the kids for an early dinner. The punch cocktail was so good. The clam chowder was phenomenal. We were sat very quickly and we had 10 people. They have tall high chairs for babies if you get sat at a high top which is very convenient. There was live music playing on the patio and lots of tvs inside to watch games. Kids loved the kids meals too. That's always a plus for my picky eaters!

    When around H.B. Pier it's hard to decide on where to eat. There are so many places. Today I picked Sandy's. I chose outdoor seating so I could watch the beach action. Delenay was my server, and she was amazing. I love Cod, so I ordered the fish and chips. The fish was perfectly cooked, and the fries were nice and crispy. All the other dishes I saw looked really good. I'll be back, and hopefully Delenay will be my server again.

They advertise a butchered ribeye, which had me expecting a thick, properly cut steak with some real presence. What showed up looked more like a thin-cut steak from a Costco multipack. It wasn't terrible, but it absolutely did not match the expectation created by the menu or the price point. We also tried the shrimp & lobster linguine, and that landed squarely in the "mid" category. Nothing offensive, just not particularly memorable or flavorful enough to make you excited about ordering it again. This feels like one of those places where you're paying heavily for the beach location and atmosphere. If that's what you're after, you may enjoy it. If you're coming primarily for the food, temper your expectations. Great setting. Average execution. Premium pricing.

They also have lounge seating, a piano bar, fireplace, and 70s music, which adds to the whole experience.

    This was my first speakeasy, FINALLY! I have been wanting to try one for years…read more We went on a Sunday which had both benefits and a few cons. This speakeasy is known for taking your cell phone and having a no photo policy. So when they didnt take our phones, we thought we were being sneaky with taking photos. Turns out on Sundays, it is their relaxed day where you are allowed to keep your phone, and they have the side door out onto PCH open. I loved this, but also hated it if I am being honest. PCH is so loud with motorcycles non stop, and it made the room very light. It didnt really feel like a speakeasy as you could enter right off the street. We entered through the hostess stand at HQ Gastropub. I had asked one of the hostesses what we needed to do and she stated she just arrived for work and I would have to ask another hostess when they came up to the stand. Bit weird, not the friendliest welcome, but the staff inside Graceland made up for that. The hostess lets them know we are there and someone comes out to take us back to the red door in the middle of the restaurant down a hall of colored barrels. Typically that is the only place you are allowed to take a photo before you hand over your phone. Back to the service. The bartender was AMAZING. She was so friendly and just amazing. Our waitress was great too, they were both helping us out. I wish I got the bartenders name, she was such a ray of sunshine and sparkle. Literally, she had a sequin top on and the sun hitting it put sparkle across the entire room. I had two glasses of chardonnay that were delicious. I also had a sip of my friends drinks and they were DELICIOUS! We did order food, and I ordered the spicy garlic edamame but never received it. I also was not charged for it, so it is what it is. The sushi nachos were good, as well as the beignets. I am not going to share the photos I took here, because I feel they want to keep it a surprise and I honor that. I would like to come back another time when the door is not open, it is darker and more private for the full speakeasy experience.

    I recommend this place. Too bad I ate there alone and could only try 3 dishes…read more The cartilage was super good with the dipping sauce. The seasoning and combination of richness from being fried and the acid from the cabbage dressing just worked really well. The lamb dip was super good also. It just works. The braised beef noodle was cooked perfectly. Clean broth, noodles were not soggy or hard, the shank was super tender. The soup had a ton of soul. The only thing I wanted to note is the shank was a bit thinly sliced and the broth was a bit sweet for me. Great ambiance and service. They do some Chinese afternoon tea set with the dim sum that I couldn't get a picture of but very cool. My wife would probably scream how cute it is lol.

    QUA - A new addition to the Kei Concepts stores that I really wanted to try. Made it my way here on…read morea Wednesday around 6:30 pm via reservation. However, it wasn't really needed at the time. The interior gives off a nice clean atmosphere with ample seating. There's also an outdoor patio and a bar seating as well. My girlfriend and I heard of their newer menu items. After a quick look at their menu, we decided to get the items we were considering beforehand. Peanut Chili Crunch Sundae: I'll admit it, I was highly skeptical of a spicy and sweet combination. However, I'm a sucker for anything crunchy and spicy, so this dessert genuinely had me surprised. Still not something up my alley but a great try! (3.5/5) Mala Fries: Solid appetizer! Each fry was crispy and the peanuts add a nice crunch. Tons of chilis surrounding so it's packed full of flavor. (5/5) General Tso's Chicken Wing: Perfect for the sweet and spicy fans! It is reminiscent of the Korean yangnyeom flavor. (5/5) Chili Crunch Burrata: This was an interesting dish, which I enjoyed dipping with the Chinese donut. Not particularly my fan but my girlfriend was a fan of it. (3.5/5) Crab Roe: Needed to do a bit of mixing for the noodle and crab roe. It tastes as you'd expect (great crab flavor) and served as a good foundation to balance out the other dishes' flavors. One drawback was that the noodles were very long; it could have been great if it was pre-cut to shorter lengths. (4.5/5) American Express is accepted here. Considering signing up for their Kei Rewards if you're a frequent diner of Kei Concepts for some rewards!

Gastropub was welcoming, had a great atmosphere for the match, and let people come in and enjoy the game without making them feel like they needed to spend hundreds of dollars just to have a seat. The staff was friendly, the drinks were good, and the overall vibe was exactly what you'd want for a big sporting event. If you're looking for a place to watch a game, have a few drinks, and actually feel appreciated as a customer, Gastropub is a great choice. I'll definitely be back.

Very chill with great music. Pro tip: When you walk in, DO NOT sit at the bar to the left. This is my second time and both Tim's the service is terrible. I would have ordered another cocktail if we would have had a server who paid attention to this side of the place - the only time people came over was to get water for other patrons. (This happened both times) The first bar you see when you walk in is the one you want to sit at if you're a bar top kind of person like me. Wouldn't return? You bet, but I will never sit on the left side of the restaurant ever again.
