    Very nostalgic drive- in burger joint. Basic burgers, fries and shakes. Great location next to SeaCliff Beach off hwy 1 Staff were very nice. Dining inside or patio were kept pretty clean. Even the single bathroom was not too bad!

    The restaurant sign

    The staff was friendly and professional! The burgers and fries were amazing. To put the cherry on top, we also got a cone that was made with love!

    Cheese Burger, Veggie Burger

    Cute, but dated burger joint close to the beach, but unfortunately the food was pretty mid. Great prices, good service, and a decent option for something quick.

    Jr burger with mayo plain. Added fries

    I grew up eating here every time we'd come to the beach and I bring my kids now. Their burgers are so yummy. Shakes are thick and flavorful and I loveeee their fries

    $30 for two burgers (one patty) and fries, the food isn't awful it's really just basic but the prices seem high for what it is

    Smallest 10.99 cheeseburger  ever and lacking tomatoes  onions  I did find pickles  on the bottom sup wilted and turned lettuce

    Well shoot it's disappointing to review this place... where do I start... I remember eating at here when I was a kid and we would be so stoked then when I was a teen we would drive down and get a number 1 cheese burger we're never a disappointment same with the shakes I took my family the other day and yes I was super shocked on the prices but hey you get what you pay for right? WRONG the cheese burger was so small and super then meat patty the lettuce was turning the bun was ugh I'm posting a picture it sucks I hope they can change they would get more customers if the owners were willing to spend some money and spruce up the place and start taking some pride in their business. I can complain about the fries they were on point !! The teens working were super friendly!! A few small tweaks and the place could be amazing again !!! Come on owners let's bring it back you need a vacation and some relaxing vibes so a few small changes is a small price for a business that could be thriving and less people going to other fast food restaurants around here. Burger week fail

    Local guy here. Good place for an after beach ice cream cone. Service will not go out of their way for you but it's fine. Skip the food.

    A staple of Seacliff area. Turkey burger is to die for. Go to Sno-White before you die... you won't regret it.

I think you can make the wrong choice on your 1st/2nd/3rd visit depending on your taste, but I also think you should come back and you'll absolutely find something that 100% tickles your pickle. I've tried most of their hot sandwiches: - Noni's Pesto Chicken: this is one of my favorite sandwiches of all time. It's not very complex but for some reason the combination of flavors just is *chefs kiss*. 5* for this alone, don't fight me - Surf City Philly: can be surprisingly spicy, heavy but SO good. This is my third favorite. - Chicken Cowabunga: not that great, would skip, but I also have a whole website on fried chicken sandwich rankings so I'm picky - Vulcan Mind Melt: sounds so good on paper but it's just heavy. I would skip - Crispy Cod Wrap: I've had a bite or two of this and I thought it was pretty good but not that memorable - Pork Belly Banh Mi: this was good, and I don't usually like pork belly - Chipotle Chicken Club: also kinda heavy but I really enjoyed this! This is my second favorite. - Cubano: not particularly memorable Not a sandwich but Beer Barnacles: ugh I enjoyed this more often than I should have, sorry not sorry. 5*

Long line, people not happy and complaining, the staff was ok,but you could tell frustrated. They probably should do something about this. The food needed to be reheated, the fries were halfway full, but nonetheless I try to be patient and understanding.

I arrived at the restaurant around 1:45 PM and politely asked a young employee about my order. He told me it would be out shortly. After waiting about 10 minutes, I noticed several customers who ordered after me received their food, but my order was never called. I approached the same employee again and politely asked if he could check on my order. After another 10 minutes, there was still no update. Eventually, I was approached by who I believe was a manager. After I explained that I had placed my order at 1:25 PM and had driven from Monterey, she questioned whether I had already received the food. The interaction quickly became uncomfortable, and I felt as though I was being accused of trying to claim food I had already picked up. I explained that I had not received my order and even suggested they review the camera footage if there was any confusion. As a paying customer, being treated with suspicion instead of receiving assistance was upsetting and felt discriminatory. After a lengthy delay, I finally received part of my order. However, the problems didn't end there. The fries were not filled properly, and I was missing two Hot 'N Spicy McChicken sandwiches that I had paid for. Unfortunately, I was unable to return because I had family commitments and a busy schedule that day. The entire experience was frustrating--from the long wait, to the lack of communication, to being treated as if I were doing something dishonest, and ultimately receiving an incomplete order. I hope management reviews both their customer service practices and order fulfillment process so other customers don't have a similar experience.

The counter service female was very nice and helpful. The sandwich was very good and we've eaten there many times in the past. When we both sat down to eat we noticed that our sandwich hadn't been cut in half. My girlfriend went back to the counter and asked a male kitchen employee behind the counter if he could cut our sandwich in half. The sandwich was completely wrapped in paper and we did not unwrap it at all prior to asking for it to be cut. His response was extremely rude and nasty. He claimed that it was already contaminated despite the fact that it was still completely wrapped in paper. He acted like we were putting him out by us asking him to simply cut the sandwich in half. He accused my girlfriend of "contaminating" the sandwich (in his words) just by touching it despite the fact that it was handled by 2 people before we even touched it. Basically, it was his scolding condescending tone that totally turned us off to ever visiting this place again. It only takes one lazy a--hole employee to ruin a great dining experience.
