Surf City Ale House - Huntington Beach

Fantastic food. I had the double cheeseburger and it was wonderful, service was great! We sat outside and one of the gentlemen working there was nice enough to put a heater by our table. 10 out of 10 would recommend!

We had a reservation for 6:30PM and when we arrived we were directed to a table by one of the wait staff. Shortly after ordering our drinks, a grouchy staff member (we later found out was the manager) came over to our table and told us the table was reserved. We told him we were the reservation and then he proceeded to question us about what time our reservation was for, our names, etc. It was a very bizarre exchange and made us feel uncomfortable, like we had done something wrong. As we ordered our food, a couple came in and sat right next to us with their 2 large dogs. I am severely allergic to dogs, so my husband asked if our party could be moved. Our server said that they would move the dogs. When our food finally arrived the dogs were still there so my husband asked again if something could be done. The server then brought the manager over and he said they were service dogs so they wouldn’t move them. They let everyone who wanted to pet them, play with the dogs so I find it difficult to believe they were service dogs, but that aside, even the wait staff were touching them, which could contaminate food. We were eventually moved (we had to carry our food through the restaurant with a 6 month old baby, so it it’s not exactly a quick/easy task). My suggestion would be that if you are going to allow everyone who says they have a service dog into your restaurant, perhaps have a designated area or seat them outside on the patio, not directly outside the kitchen doors. It is unhygienic to have dog hair flying in your food and drinks, the potential of fleas, and some of us have allergies. It was very clear to me that the dogs were more important than my health.

Pretty good little dinner stop during our vacation! It was a casual vibe. We were there on a Tuesday and there was a street party on Main with a great live band directly in front of the restaurant which was a little loud but not unreasonable! Food was great and everyone in our party of 7 was happy with their order and the service!

Great staff, fast service, great prices and delicious food and drinks!

We made reservations for 8 people. The other half of our group decided to join us last minute and they sat the 16 of us right away. Service was fast and accurate, prices were reasonable and the food was good! I had the salmon and it was the perfect portion.
