When I make the trek to Long Beach, WA, a favorite lunch spot for me is Surfer Sands. They serve a variety of tasty and quirkily made sandwiches, along with homemade macaroni and potato salads. Their turkey sandwich with cream cheese, cashews and cranberry sauce, and their tuna sandwich are two of my go-to's. read more

I'm pretty particular about my cheesesteaks, so I wasn't expecting to love it, but wow they kill it. Super good. Quick and affordable. I'm literally going back to get another one right now. Great stuff. read more

It's so hard to find vegetarian food to go so I decided to hit this place up and see what was yummy. I'll give them that it was a busy Friday afternoon, but the staff wasn't super friendly or helpful. I asked if all the sandwiches were warm and was told yes, requested one and she all but snapped at me "that one isn't warm" um, ok then.... I opted for the veggie cheesesteak, seemed like a safe bet. It was ok. The bred was very soft, but also super dry. Like without the veggies you couldn't really eat it dry. Veggies were ok, throughly cooked but almost to the point of being mush. I guess that's better than way under. There wasn't much cheese and it was a cheesesteak so that was odd. But it was just about $10, and the portion was large so they get points for that. Very basic sodas in cans for drinks and no sides from what I could tell. The place wasn't super clean, which could be expected from a roadside food stand like this, but they definitely could have done more. And their restrooms weren't working, which I found odd. There are better food trucks in town, so I probably won't venture here again. But he definitely had worse, so there's that. read more

When ordering the women was so kind and helpful. We had cheesesteaks that hit the spot on a sunny day. My daughter had chili and grilled cheese, she says it's the best grilled cheese ever and the chili was spicy but yummy! read more

We tried several sandwiches and every single one was amazing--so fresh and full of flavor! You can really tell the quality in every bite. My absolute favorite was the Wipe Out... SO good, I'm already craving it again! Highly recommend trying a few because you honestly can't go wrong. read more

Great food! As someone who grew up eating some of the best cheesesteaks out there, in New Jersey, I can say that this was a pretty good spot. The "banana" cheesesteak with its banana peppers, was really really good; and that horseradish sauce hit the spot. The only real feedback I had was that the sandwich was a little too bread, but I did love how they seared the top of the sandwich as well. read more

Eh kinda gross. Nothing on the healthy side either. Highlight of the trip was that they had trash cans where I could throw out my kid's diaper. I said thanks to the last working several times too and not a peep out of her, just rude looks. Super fun. read more

This was a great find in Long Beach. We ordered a Big Kahuna and a Steak and Pepper and added a cup of the the Canjun Clam Chowder. The chowder was one of the best I have ever had. Creamy, a little spice and plenty of clams, all cooked perfectly. I recommended it to people walking up. The sandwiches were great as well. The steak and veggies were really good and the sauces in them were fantastic. The price here was really good too for a tourist area. Add great service as well. Great lunch. read more

Consistently great food over many years with decent staff and great prices. They bring it straight to your car. One of the best places to get consistently great food. read more

We drove 3 hours for cape disappointment & I was craving a cold sandwich. And oh my gosh!!! This is literally the best sandwich I have EVER HAD. It was so fresh and good!!! The potatoe salad was so yummy!! I will be driving back again soon just for this place!!!wish I would of taken pics but I devour it' read more

If I could give 3.5 stars, I would. But I can't. Unfortunately, I don't know if I'll go back to Surfer Sands until the tourist season is over. At least I hope that's what's causing the quality to suffer. Once again, we opened up a pair of cheesesteaks when we got home and they were underwhelming. There just isn't much to the sandwiches. I know the current owners believe that nothing has changed, but the sandwiches have been getting less and less 'full' over the last couple years. I'm sad to write this, but Surfer Sands isn't really a guaranteed 'go-to' place for us anymore. read more

This place is a great staple in Long Beach. Hours are reliable and they take credit cards! The clam chowder is different than most- peppery and savory. My mom said it's the best she's had in a long time. Lots of vegetarian choices, both hot and cold. They also have great smoothies and their bread is baked fresh each day. Definitely give this place a try and enjoy your food outside or take it for a picnic! read more

Great CheeseSteak and great Waiters with beer recommendation. Fun place we will be back!

Crasins, pineapple, apples, and cashews in a sandwich? I'm honestly not sure why this works, but it does. We love a good vegetarian menu moment and happened upon this gem after visiting Cape Disappointment. No disappointments here! I'm vegetarian and I ordered the Goofy Foot with jalapeños and it almost knocked my socks right off. My friend got the Big Kahuna with jalapeños as it was recommended by another reviewer! :) We were both super happy with our choices and agreed we'd likely be here 4 times a week if we lived in the area! read more

Showed up on a Monday afternoon, internet search said the place was open but it was closed IRL. Maybe seasonal hours. I'm sure the food is good, I really was excited to try this place. Maybe try calling before you drive all the way there and see a sign posted in the window that it's closed. Small town adventures and life lessons in food planning and having some grace with everyone is what I enjoyed from Surfer Sands. read more

Surfer Sands - Big Kahuna extra cheese + Pepper Steak - Sandwiches Near Me - Long Beach, Washington

Lived & worked in Long Beach for 15 years. Surfer Sands was a weekly go-to for me when I was a resident. Went back for the first time today since 2022 & it's definitely changed. The OG Surfer Sands served steak chunks, they've now gone to the traditional shaved steak. That's fine but the size of the sandwich has been reduced by probably 30%. Flavor was good but if I'm paying $16 for a cheesesteak (with tip) it better fill me up. This one didn't. Not sure I'll be back whenever I'm in town again. read more

The sandwiches are amazing. I don't like onions and I get the regular sandwich with grilled onions and it's delicious everytime. The customer service is always good. I've never had a bad experience here. There is only outside seating or to go orders so that is something to keep in mind. read more

Great kahuna sandwich use to be a little better then it was the last time but still good

Just tried this place on a spur of the moment choice. Wasn't disappointed. I got a pepper steak and wife got the Big Kahuna. We sat outside at the picnic tables and enjoyed our cheese steaks. I give the cheese steaks a 9 out of 10 for flavor and an 8 out of 10 for size. I wish they were a little bit larger for the price, but I came away mostly satiated. It would be nice if they offered fries with their cheese steaks, but it was still a good meal. Will return. read more

Ordered ahead was ready when I got there! Big Kahuna with Jalapenos is my go to. It was nice and hot. They bring it out to the car. Don't miss this place when you're in town. A++ read more

Go early if you want to make sure to get a Sammie! We got there at 3 and literally got the last 4 rolls. We all got some version of the Philly. Mine had mushrooms, hubs and the rest of the clan got regular ones. Big chunks of steak in all the sandwiches. Onions (and mushrooms in my case) were grilled and perfectly caramelized. The bread was not what we were expecting, but soaked up the juices from all the ingredients well. Can't put my finger on what was different but we all agreed there was something different about it. We ended up taking the sandwiches out and had a fire on the beach. Good handheld food. Would go back, but may try something else. read more

Stopped off here on our way to Ocean Shores, WA. Highly recommend! We had the mushroom phillies. It's a busy place. read more

First of all, we had lunch here yesterday, it was great and the guy taking orders was very nice. Today, was a different story. We arrived 30 mins before closing and there were no other customers. The young woman with red curly hair working there blatantly ignored us, not at all interested in taking our order. Also, the hours on their website are wrong, so they need to fix that. read more

Always a great cheese steak! Cooked fresh on homemade bread. Friendly family owned business. Highly recommend.

Ok, these might be some of the best sandwiches I've had. Ever. They're consistently perfect. The bread is perfect and fluffy and fresh. The seasoning is perfect. The meat is perfect and wonderfully tender, no chunks of fat or gristle here! The vegetables are the perfect balance between being cooked and still having a little texture and vs being undercooked and too crunchy. The guy that runs the place is always friendly. The amount of food you get for the price is really reasonable. And perhaps most importantly, the ratio of bread to filling it just right. And you can take your sandwich to the beach which is just a block away. Highly recommended! read more

We got the pepper steak, the mushroom steak, a mango smoothie and a strawberry smoothie. The 50s era music that was playing at their eating area was pleasant and fun. The staff was very friendly and the service was fast, even though we could hardly wait because we could smell the sandwiches cooking. The smoothies were sweet and fresh tasting but not too filling. The bread was super soft but not soggy at all and there was just enough cheese. The steak was tender, peppery and full of flavor. I would have liked a few more mushrooms but I'll just ask for extra next time - and there will definitely be a next time. read more

This is a must eat on your visit to Long Beach. The menu features cheesesteak and sandwiches, but he star of the day is the Cajun clam chowder. It was the best chowder we'd had after a week along the Washington/Oregon coasts. Order at the window and eat on the picnic tables outside. The service was friendly and quick. I think it was the owner who helped us and she remembered us when we returned the next day. read more

If you are considering this place, you'll be shocked at how good this food is. Service was quick, outdoor seating is available or you can take it to go to the beach. Highly recommend the homemade Chili and Garlic Lover's sandwich. When we come back to Long Beach, we'll be coming here first! read more

We wanted to see what all the hype was about their sandwiches so we went to try it for lunch today. We made sure we made it there before it opened as we have heard stories about the long lines and the sandwiches selling out as soon as they run out of their freshly baked bread. Owner was very nice and friendly. We ordered a Mushroom Cheese Steak and the Big Kahuna. The mushroom cheese has steak, grilled onions and mushrooms, Swiss cheese. The Big Kahuna has everything plus bell peppers. Bread is good. Ratio of bread to filling is also good (some Phillys have way too much bread and not enough meat). Our only disappointment was the meat - instead of thinly sliced, it was small thick pieces. Meat was tough. However, flavor was good and served warm. read more

Being from out of town we were thinking is this REALLY a great sandwich at the ocean?? My opinion is YES it was a very great sandwich! Fresh bread was a wonderful touch, great seasoning on the cheesesteak, enough cheese and other toppings! We had 8 people in our party and everyone loved their sandwiches!! We will be back again for lunch or dinner next time we are town! read more

Man, time for an update - got to stop by and chat a bit with the new owner while ordering my absolute favorite sandwich in the world, the WipeOut. My wife adores the Big Kahuna (hot sandwich). New sign on the roadside, love it! Some new picnic tables and organized the parking lot so it's not so random. Open when he says he's open! Not random anymore! Did I say the WipeOut is the best coldcut sandwich ever? I always hope that the bread is going to be as fresh, soft and delicious as the last time, and always is. Commitment to quality! The ingredients (tomato, cucumber, lettuce, cheese, huge thick piles of meat) are fresh as well. Owner Jon S is a kite enthusiast as well, he knows 'whattup' in town. I was gonna go 4 star here, but....what was there to complain about? Fresh food, reasonable price, great friendly service.....and if nothing else a bonus 'Green Star' appears deserved as well, sandwich delivered in brown paper bag wrapped in paper or aluminum (for hot sandwich). No Plastic! SurfRider commendation coming here for ocean-friendly? Anyway, before I forget, the WipeOut - best sandwich you'll ever eat. read more

Surfer Sands - The Wipe out - the world's best cold cut sandwich! - Sandwiches Near Me - Long Beach, Washington

This is a solid sandwich place. I don't remember the name of the one I had. But it had steak, cheese, jalapenos, salsa, sour cream and whatever else. The sandwich was great. Came out piping hot and hot the spot. The bread was good, and tasted fresh. The only complaint I would have. Would be that the bottom of the bread on all of the sandwiches were slightly over done. Which in turn made it slightly difficult to bite thru the bottom. read more

Remove the Authentic Philly Cheese Steak sign. It's false advertising. The mushrooms were old and made the sandwich taste terrible. Philadelphia Cheesesteaks have thin sliced meat not chunky tendon filled hunks of meat. It was hard to even chew. When the bread is stale throw it away and don't serve it to customers. The sandwich used to be large and with the price going up you would think it would stay the same. Definitely not the case. The old owner would be ashamed of his old Business today. I don't know how much you paid for all the 5 star reviews but the sandwich is garbage. My daughter had to dip it in A1 like it was a French dip just to choke it down. read more

Got the garlic cheesesteak today. Great garlic flavor. I enjoyed it. The spouse got a regular cheesesteak. We got our child a ham and cheese sandwich which they ate with gusto. Good size for the price. Outdoor seating, some tables with beach umbrellas. read more

Delicious sandwiches and friendly service. Just have to get there early before they run out of bread. Another must stop when in Longbeach.

Tasty sandwiches! Great flavor! Lots of yummy choices. Staff was friendly and weather was perfect for eating outside. Only complaint would be that the bread was a little dry and there was a too much bread to filling combo. All the filling was to one side of the bun. read more
