So I ordered four - one with hot chili relish, one with chili/cheese/onions, one with the housemade pickle relish with whole grain Dijon and one with just boring mustard and onions. My favorite was by far the one with the fresh pickle relish and my least was the hot chili. Wasn't very hot and was more oily than anything, but the dogs themselves are great - jumbo ones char grilled and placed inside a hollowed out unsliced hard roll. Awesome! Next time I'll get a little more creative with what to mix and match with what dog but I was glad I stopped by. Great customer service as well. Support your local businesses!

The Beach Haus Brewery appeared to have rave reviews and a dedicated following, so it definitely…read moreseemed like a place that we would want to explore since we were in the neighborhood. When we arrived at the three-story space, we immediately headed up to the rooftop first. The top floor was open to the elements and overlooked a strip mall just below, but with a further gaze, we were able to see the Shark River. There was a bar and a few tables, as well as a lounge area with couches and cushioned armchairs, which we were thankfully able to snag. The layout was fun and allowed us to converse with other patrons sitting across the coffee table from us. The one thing I did not love about the roof, however, was that it functioned as almost an entirely different venue. Meaning that they had only a few small plates for food options and very few beers on tap. They did not even offer flights, but focused mainly on cocktails. Fine, I had a mixed drink with mezcal, Aperol, and watermelon, which was an excellent smoky and sweet margarita, but I had wanted to sample their beers since it was a brewery. After our initial round of drinks, we decided to head down to the second floor, rustic taproom to sample more of their menu. The place was packed with diners, but, since we did not have a reservation, we were nervous that we would not receive a table. Thankfully, two seats opened at the bar, so we grabbed those. Unfortunately, by that point, I did not want to drink anymore, so I did not get to try their beers (except a sip of the Swell, which was a bit too hoppy of a hazy IPA for my liking), but I was hungry enough to get a dinner entree. The friendly bartender took our order and ensured all of our customizations were noted, but the food still wound up awful. I had selected the Tzatziki Salmon with the yogurt sauce on the side. The fish was cooked well, but way too heavily salted. It was served with orzo that was overcooked, dry, bland, and stuck together in clumps. I was shocked they even served something that looked so unappetizing. There were also a bunch of roasted brussels sprouts that had a funny flavor and appeared to have been previously frozen. Then, when I thought it could not get any worse, the tzatziki seemed curdled, so I was glad that I had ordered it on the side. My partner's burger came with a single piece of bacon that was all fat and not even remotely crispy. While the food was terrible, the service was nice, and I really enjoyed my cocktail and the vibe at the Beach Haus Brewery, so I decided to give it 3 stars, but I am clearly being generous.

The menu has…read moreplenty of American food items like burgers, hot dogs, cheesteakrs, chicken tenders and funnel cakes. It's one of the more popular stores within the area, so gets super crowded around lunch hours. I had to wait about 10 minutes to order, then another 10 minutes to get my order. Since it's at the beach, of course the prices were high, $10 for hot dog, $13-$15 for burgers, $14 for cheesesteak, fries $6-$9 and drinks were $5. I ordered the chili hot dog and cheesesteak with fries. The chili dog was really good, loved the taste of chili, cheese and the sausage. But the cheesesteak was disappointing. Even though the beef was good, they literally put raw onions on top. Neither the bread nor the onion were grilled. Fries were average too. The service was fine, got all my items without any issues. Despite some of these drawbacks, due to limited options it is one of the go to places for a good portion meal on this broad walk.

The roll is kind of big for a single cheeseburger so I would say order a double or order 2 $5 burgers and ditch one of the rolls. While I was there, I saw them serve a steak sandwich and it looked awesome! Chargrilled and a thicker steak, not like a Philly cheese steak. Next time, I'm getting one for sure!
