Good food; a little bit of covered seating outside that protected us from the rain and right next door to a wonderful ice cream place!
The only thing passable at this place was that the chicken fingers which were cooked properly with a crispy crunch, and the BBQ sauce was decent. Everything else was majorly disappointing. French fries were just half-cooked and soggy. What restaurant serves soggy French fries? Even when customers asked for the fries to be thrown back into the fryer, the staff stares back at you with a bizarre look of how dare you ask that! Hamburgers were barely medium-rare, looking more on the rare side. I was worried about my eight year-old daughter getting food poisoning at the beach. The hotdog had burn marks going up one side. I don't know how this place can charge what they charge and serve such subpar food. I don't mind paying premium when I'm at a tourist destination, but the food here, especially the French fries, were not cooked properly. And the strawberry smoothie was such a rip off - mostly ice and sugar water for $7.50. I don't expect to purchase food from here the next time I come to this beach. I would rather bring my own food.
Excellent salmon sandwich and tuna spinach wrap. Many other good things on the menu too.
Bring your own food to the beach! This place is trash. They got rid of all breakfast options so when you need to be at the beach at dawn on a Saturday just to get on the beach you starve. Food is terribly overpriced, 10$ for chicken tenders and oh if you want bbq sauce thats extra! Employees are rude too boot. An absolute joke, the city ran it better years ago.
They don’t provide bags and don’t even wrap their food - it’s all open and easy targets for seagulls - they have a whopping sign that states NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR SEAGULLS TAKING YOUR FOOD . Yet they don’t offer anything that will safeguard your purchase - I had to ask for a tray that didn’t hold all of the food I bought and was attacked when I got by the sand and my daughter was attacked and traumatized . About 25 seagulls were biting at me until I dropped the food and ran . Seems to me this place enjoys the fact that people have to come back for more food - I would think instead of a sign warning them of incumbent doom they would offer a bag and advise to keep food sealed until they return safely to their spot - very disappointed in their lack of empathy and the shallow way they hide behind the fact it’s not their fault the birds are aggressive . ??
I was overcharged $9 and staff acknowledged they overcharged me, but wouldn’t give me my money back. It was such an awful experience. I was warned by locals about this place, but I went anyway. It was such a mistake.
Wasn’t our destination, and saw the sign for $13.95 Lobster Rolls on Tuesdays. Thought can’t beat that, so we pulled in. Wow, just wow…. Warn toasted bun stuffed with huge chunks of lobster and claw meat in light Mayo. Absolutely delicious, this is the same lobster roll that is 24.95 any other day of the week. They did not downsize the portion at all. It will now officially be Lobster Roll Tuesdays for us! Thanks for a pleasant surprise!
Although this restaurant is near both Good Harbor and Long Beaches, and caters to a summer crowd, it is still open in November. I highly recommend the cheese steak bomb. Very tasty and the most filling I've ever had in one. Could only eat half of it. Note: As with many restaurants now, the prices have gone from what you see on line.
Ordered two subs via DoorDash, one veg and one Italian. Both arrived very quickly, with good comms from both Surfside and the driver. Both sandwiches were excellent, far better than the standard, bland Subway. The veg sandwich was fantastic, filled with tons of fresh, crispy veg. The Italian was packed with meat and cheese, with a lot of spicy Italian relish through. Both were on delicious bread. Definitely will return to Surfside if in Gloucester again--next time we'll try pizza.
My husband asked for a pizza with crust light brown. It was burnt. Worse pizza I ever had. Crust was burnt underneath too. Chewed like cardboard.
