Nicole M.

What a wonderful spot... burgers fries and chicken tenders were on point, Mike and the rest of the staff in the bike shop were so nice, so helpful and really made it a special experience. We were up in Manhattan Beach yesterday and it was beautiful but the people were just not particularly warm, but Huntington Beach and Zack's are where it's at, beautiful and welcoming!

Delicious breakfast burrito
Susan H.

We had their breakfast burrito today. It was really good. I couldn't finish it. Brought half home for breakfast tomorrow. The service was fast and friendly. We liked being able to sit in the patio area with a view of the ocean. They have heat lamps for the chillier days.

Our kids shared quesadilla and chicken strips with fries. Quesadilla was great!
Merry M.

Shrimp taco and quesadilla were excellent! Cheeseburger and chicken strips were ok. My picky son ate lots of the chicken strips. Seating was amazing, we got a couch with shade. After lunch we got 2 soft serves that were huge (and $7) each but it was enough for our kids to share with us grown ups. It tastes good but melts quickly. My new favorite place to eat on the beach in HB! Service was very good and friendly.

Out bikes
Estella T.

We love to ride bikes when come to the beach! Staff was super friendly and helped us get the bikes to our size seat wise. Great customer service we will rent here for sure next time. Store has super chill beach vibes.

Location location location. This bike rental place also has an outdoor patio seating area you can eat and drink (adult beverages) while you people watch. It's fairly pricey per drink, but you're paying for location. Nice place especially since there's no where else u can really just chill by the boardwalk and have a drink.

My experience at Zack's Pier Plaza was extremely disappointing, and honestly, one star is too generous. The food was average and overpriced, but the worst part was the owner's attitude. After finishing my meal, I was standing outside the restaurant by the railing, simply enjoying the ocean view, when the owner suddenly came up to me and rudely said: "You got problems?" I was shocked! I wasn't doing anything wrong, just standing in a public area, yet I was confronted in such an unfriendly and disrespectful way. To make matters worse, even during ordering, the service was cold and unfriendly. The owner stood at the entrance with his hands on his hips (see Photo 3), looking arrogant and unwelcoming. 在 Zack's Pier Plaza 的用餐經驗非常糟糕,給一星都覺得太多。 首先,食物非常普通、價格偏高,但最無法接受的是老闆的態度。 吃完東西後,我站在餐廳欄杆外面,單純欣賞海邊風景,結果老闆突然走過來,態度非常不友善,甚至對我說: 「You got problems?」 當下真的非常錯愕!我只是站在公共區域,沒有做任何不當行為,卻被用這麼無禮的口氣質問,讓人感覺極度不受尊重。 更誇張的是,點餐時老闆和店員態度也很冷漠,完全沒有笑容,沒有任何想協助客人的意願。老闆更是整個過程中站在門口,雙手插腰,一副高高在上的樣子(見照片3),完全沒有基本的服務意識。 Mi experiencia en Zack's Pier Plaza fue extremadamente decepcionante, y sinceramente, dar una estrella es demasiado generoso. La comida es promedio y cara, pero lo peor de todo fue la actitud del dueño. Después de terminar mi comida, estaba parado afuera del restaurante, junto a la barandilla, simplemente disfrutando de la vista al mar, cuando de repente el dueño se me acercó y me dijo de forma muy grosera: "¿Tienes un problema?" iMe quedé sorprendido! No estaba haciendo nada malo, solo estaba en un área pública, pero me habló de una manera tan desagradable y poco respetuosa. Para empeorar las cosas, incluso durante el pedido, el servicio fue frío y nada amable. El dueño estaba parado en la entrada, con las manos en la cintura (ver Foto 3), con una actitud arrogante y poco acogedora.

Shrimp  and "chips" ;)
Brooklyn M.

This place has FIRE shrimp and fries The price was 16 something for it but I definitely don't mind paying for it! Well worth it. They had the food out super quick too!

Ruby S.

Good food along the beach, made fresh to order. Right out the fryer! (Ordered fried calamari & Fish n Chips). A lot of choices. Clean, ample seating with a place close by to lock up our bikes. Zack's buddy checked on us a couple times; automatically brought us napkins then offered, upsized & delivered us our lemonade. He was very attentive to other patrons as well & kept the tables clean & tidy.

Hi Do you know any place to rent skates?

No they don't

Does anybody know the cheese strip sauce recipe? I am dying to remember what it was and am willing to purchase this recipe!?

Yes. It’s canned enchilada sauce.

My boys were done surfing early, so Ace swapped the surf gear for the bikes and skateboard for no extra charge.

FYI, we haven't even been at the beach since covid. So, yeah... first time in the water in a while and learning how to surf. With great instructors anything is possible and it is never too late to learn something new. In the water they made sure we were safe and guided us thoroughly. My wife was able to stand on the board on her first wave. It was really fun. I needed more help and they were always there to coach us right along. We are definitely coming back for more surf lessons. If you want to learn give them a call.

The communication was excellent, responses were prompt, and the team genuinely cared about helping my niece achieve her goal--standing up on a surfboard (just like she dreamed!). They didn't just focus on the end result--they spent over two hours patiently working with her, correcting her form, and building her confidence every step of the way. Cat is amazing, Bjorn was incredibly patient and encouraging, and Rosa was so sweet! We couldn't have asked for a better team. Highly, highly recommend!

We weren't sure how it would go, but coach Elliot made all the difference. He was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding of our son's needs.

We received a text message at 7pm on Sunday, the night before camp asking us to change our time (we could not change because we had other plans scheduled), not to mention, you text at 7pm the night before? We asked for a refund, they agreed. Here we are nearly 1 month later and they have not returned the money. It is beyond bizarre. There are many more reputable companies we have had good experience with. See text correspondence with the company below, it is the same # listed on the website. We will be pressing forward with legal action. Im guessing the owner spent the money and just doesnt have the cash to pay me? The owner has commented to this review, and again, I think it lacks honesty, see my photo's for proof. She states she canceled the camp due to rough surf conditions, #1. the surf conditions were very calm, see attached historical weather report. #2. Her text message led with, other kids have unenrolled, WE HAVE LOW NUMBERS and would like to cancel. (they are smart, she may have tried to steal their money too). see Screenshots. This is a masterclass on what not to do, if you own a company and royally mess up. Just own it. Please return our money.

I came back to Huntington Beach 2 weeks later with my boys and booked private lessons for all 3 of us per recommedation from the owners. They matched the instructors with each of us very well. Mine was 6'3" and could easily handle holding my board and helping me figure it out. My 10 yr old instructor had him surfing within 45min on day 1. The young lady instructing my 7yr old adjusted board, and had him up and surfing on day 2. At 56, with 3 knee injuries, including a torn meniscus, was able to stand up finally on day 3, 4 times, in some frothy (yet not too big) waves. The beach area is an ideal learning platform as it has no rocks, coral, or other obstructions underwater except lots of hard packed sand. In the end we had a special father & sons memory of learning to surf together. We were all successful. We had an amazing time, and the staff could not have been more helpful, encouraging, and supportive. I highly recommend private lessons, because I feel like the ROI is 90+% with private lessons, and about 45-55% with group lessons. IMO group lessons can be good later on as refresher.

She loved the camp and wants to return next year.

It feels like they've completely stopped caring about what they put on the shelves. The whole store has gone downhill less variety, worse quality, and nothing that stands out anymore. I used to actually enjoy coming here and could count on finding good deals on decent clothing, but now it just feels like a waste of time. Definitely not what it used to be.
