I was here for the official grand reopening. I ordered the world famous cheese strips. They did not disappoint. I had cheese with every bite and a pile of cheese to eat at the end. I really want to explore the menu next time because I love beach treats. They have a gift shop with cool beach related items. They also rent bikes and various items to make your day more fun. Everyone here is really nice. I'm glad they finally reopened and hope all the best for the owners. read more

Was brought here by someone who had been wanting and waiting a long time for me to try them. Had an outing to Main Street and figured "Hey! Why not?!" It's a pretty simple menu, which is perfect for a snack shack type place on the beach boardwalk. Pretty cool that it's been there so long. I know people old and my age who rave about this place and that's pretty cool. read more

After a few hours ofsurfing, I come here to eat. I love it. No wait, the food comes out quickly, and reasonable prices. It's a great food stand close to the beach and love that you don't have to leave the sandy beach area to get to some food. It's a peaceful atmosphere and it's kept clean.I love their hotdog! It comes out HOT and FRESH. It's a thicker sausage than your standard limp hotdog. There is also a condiments station where you can put relish on. I love relish with the dog. I also love their ice surf city freeze smoothies!!! Both flavors are good- the mango and berry. I'm addicted to how Icey they are. So refreshing. Their ice cream hard shell dip cone is also very good. read more

I am so excited for the re opening of Dwight's!!! This place is a breath of fresh air The people that work here are incredibly nice and they really have everything you need for drink/food options. They also have rentals for beach activities and stuff for your kiddos. This vibe of this place and these people are exactly what Huntington Beach needed read more

One of the most yummy food and just as good the owners company !! A fun vibe and good energy. Can't wait to go back ! A must stop !!

This place offers the Famous Cheese Strips. It is Chips and cheese but it is very good. Sit outside and do some people watching.

Big improvement with the service. Prices are what you might expect from a beach concession stand. The food was average. The burger patty was bland and you're relying on the condiments to make it taste decent. They have relish, onions and jalapeños at the condiment station. read more

Dwight's is located on the boardwalk near the Huntington Beach Pier. We stopped by after brunch at Duke's because our kids saw their giant "shaved ice" sign. My kids can't resist an opportunity for shaved ice! Their eyes turned as big as saucers when they saw how big the portions were, not that they minded at all. The ice itself is super crunchy though and not that easy to chip away at. They have your usual shaved ice flavors such as blue raspberry, cherry, strawberry, etc. read more

I first discovered this place back in the late 1970's My father and uncle were lifeguards for 17 years and they use to eat here back then. My brother and I loved this place and looked forward to eating here every summer. Then I was a JR lifeguard for 8 years in HB I visited this place all the time. Then I was an actual lifeguard for a year or two and again I got to eat here. Now I bring my kids here and they love the Strips & cheese. In fact it's safe to say my kids have the same awesome memories about this place just like my brother and I have. I remember watching the old man back in the 1980's drive his 1950's VW Bug up the bike trail every morning. Now his son is the old man and his kid is my age and runs Jack's snack bar a half mile south. Actually I think it's his kid that runs it now. 4 generations of people running two snack bars on the beach for over 75 years. The strips and cheese is my favorite and if you have never had them before you are really missing out. Thank you for all the great memories and the really yummy food Jack! read more

The best strips with cheese in town!!! It's the same sauce that they used to have at Sea Cliff village back in the 80s which we all loved and then it was gone and I thought these strips were gone and then last year I found out that Dwight's has it! read more

Hello friends if you like good food and great service then may I suggest coming to Dwight's in Huntington Beach off Pacific Coast Highway

Visited on a day that they weren't cooking on the grill, only options were things that could be cooked in the fryer or the cheese strips. Made options very limited. The world famous item is just tortilla strips with Shredded Cheese and red sauce, but they were tasty! read more

Dwight's Beach Concession - World famous cheese strips - Bike Rentals Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Meh. You see a sign that says "world famous" and you must stop and ask yourself, is this something I must try? Unfortunately, this could have been a pass. Tortilla chips, topped with shredded cheddar cheese and then you dump the taco sauce on top. I think it would have been better if the cheese was melted or the sauce was hot (temperature), but the cheese and sauce were cold. And the sauce was a little sweet. Not my thing. I think it would have been better with Taco Bell sauce. Sorry. I recommend you keep on riding by. read more

Misleading description of Cheese Strips. I got taken in by the postings at location about the historically created cheese strips. How the owner created them from tortillas and cheese and the great sauce. The photo looked like it was heavily melted cheese so it looked enticing. Paid $7.50 for it. Got two sauces. My daughter said isn't that just nachos. I said no, I think it is something special. The container arrives and it was tortilla strips you can buy at any store and unmelted shredded cheese. That's it. Nothing else. The sauce was kind of tasty but a bit too sweet. Sorely disappointed in this dish. read more

We ordered 2 churros, pretzels and the 7 piece chicken strip meal and just barely over $20 and super delicious after a full day on the beach. The staff there are very kind and keep their stand nice and clean. Will definitely be going back. read more

I'm 74, and I was thrilled to see that Dwight's was still in business in Huntington Beach. I remember them (and their famous strips) when I was a teenager. I would lay on a towel with my transistor radio, some strips, and listen to oldies on K-earth. GOOD MEMORIES. Great food. My Aunt & Uncle would always say, "Meet us at Dwight's, between lifeguard #3 & the pier." read more

I've rented a bike here a couple times. Such kind, friendly, considerate, flexible, and knowledgable staff! Great views along the bike path, especially as the sun is setting. I'll be moving to MD soon but will be sure to visit this place again whenever I visit! EXCELLENT VALUE!! read more

Two stars. One for the really nice young woman who helped us and two for the boisterous hilarity brought on by our beach snack of "World Famous Cheese Strips." On what planet is cold cheese shreds on cold tortilla strips served with cold, canned enchilada sauce something to snack on? This "world famous" snack must be famous for how funny it is because all we could do was laugh our butts off that we even bothered to eat it all. Even a lazy stoner can do better than this. The sad part is, this joint is inviting...bright yellow building with murals boasting about these cheese strips and yet....no. Advice: HEAT IT ALL UP!!! read more

Dwight's is a staple in HB between 1-3! strips and sauce are delicious! my favorite place since I was a kid! still is today!!!

The chicken fingers were literally chewy and had hard dark brown spots in them so if you like legit real white meat..... do not order them. Foul read more

This place has been around forever. I remember coming here in my teenage years and us kids would chip in money to buy a couple orders of chili cheese fries to share (2 orders were able to feed 4-5 of us back then, for under $5) while we hung out and tried to get girls' phone numbers. And when I say phone number, I mean their landlines. Oh how times have changed. One thing that hasn't changed are their food. Still the same old hot dogs, burgers, chicken sandwiches, fries, ice cream, etc and of course their "World Famous" cheese strips, which I myself don't find all that special. What they are are basically tortilla chips with shredded cheese piled on and served with a tomatoe based sauce. People go crazy over them though... so it's not them, it's me. I think they also rent out bikes too. Not sure if they are the same owners or not, but connected to the same building as Dwight's is a stand for that, so that's convenient. They also have maybe 6 tables with umbrellas for you to enjoy your junk food at. My my recent trip, the food took forever though. Not sure why. Nobody was in front of me and there was a staff of at least 4 that I can see... and they were all working, not standing around doing nothing. So that was interesting. So bottom line, food isn't great but it'll hit the spot. Definitely recommend them only because they are cheaper than most of the other choices within walking distance, and it DOES have a lot of history there so it'll be cool to visit it in case that super valuable piece of land ever gets sold and who knows what will happen to this place. read more

Spot on strips ! So happy for a lifetime of strips at the beach ! Just wish the servers were not typically irresponsible , brash teens . Someone should staff this place more thoughtfully . Inappropriate and crass rules most days when the boss is away . read more

This was worth the 40 minute drive to HB for Strips. The sauce did not disappoint! I first started eating strips in the 70's. It was nice to see the owner Mr. Clapp when I was there today. Last week I went to Zacks or Jacks? for strips thinking it was the same as when I had it in the 70's. Not even close! Dwight's is the place to get the authentic sauce and strips. It's comfort food with fresh ingredients. read more

I think the "crushed" ice setting on your refrigerator will make finer-textured shaved ice than whatever machine they're using here. Tragic that a Huntington Beach concession stand fails this simple task so easily. Like, totally harshed my buzz, yo read more

An Icon. I grew up in Covina and was eating these strips and cheese at Dwight's in the 70's. They were here before nachos and that liquid cheese that became popular in the 80's. The sauce has not changed. It was exotic then but mild and tasty today. It complements the cheese and freshly cooked chips perfectly. When we moved here it was the first place we went once we unpacked. In the Summer I go there several times a week, get my strips and watch my son at Jr. Guards. He likes it better than Kocomo's. The service is great; many of the kids working there have been doing it several years. If you can't wrap your mind around freshly grated cheese then order nachos. Some people will never get it. read more

My husband told me about this place and their strips and sauce. I really didn't get it. I said you mean salsa Alas I tried it for myself. Sort of light tortilla strip chips, topped with shredded cheese and served with a side of "sauce". It's sort of sweet, and awesome! It's perfect for a warm day at the beach. We usually put the cheese IN the sauce then dip! It's so great we always get a quart to go for home! read more

Dwight's Beach Concession - Strips and sauce. Nothing short of amazing. - Bike Rentals Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

My family came out for Mother's Day this year, my sisters and I wanted to switch up our normal day up with mom so we decided to do a morning activity with brunch after! We packed up a small cooler, got our speakers ready, and hopped on two 4 seater bikes. The bikes can be a bit rusty and old in the way they move but let's be real we aren't in a triathlon we are just trying to have some fun on the boardwalk. We laughed the entire time but in the end I definitely only see myself doing this maybe once a year. I would recommend just an hour - it got a bit exhausting but we were all adults and only two kids that didn't pedal so we didn't have kid energy helping us. read more

Oh, Dwight's I love you. When we don't have a bon fire and cook our dogs and s'mores, you are right there to fill our tummies with beach grub. And you have been doing this for beach goers for 80 years!!! I just learned you are the oldest establishment in Huntington Beach. Cool. We live just a bike ride away, and we are here often. It's so nice to have snacks, burgers, nachos....drinks, and not have to travel far to eat them. On the 4th of July - we are so grateful for you. When the tourists have made the beach crazy busy - we love you being right there. These are times when a bon fire is not very practical. You are consistent and tasty, and kids love you. We love the gift shop, and rentals also. I am not going to be popular in admitting this, but I am not a fan of the cheese strips. I like my cheese melted. I had no idea these came with cheese unmelted sitting on chips...and the sauce was too sweet. But others love it, so who am I to care?? Wish there were space for more tables, but it is what it is. I'm a fan. I'm a super fan. read more

The nicest service around. They bend backwards to help you. Needed quartere to park at a parking space and they provided me with some with a big smile I'm exchange for dollar bills. If you forgot a bike lock or anything else foe biking they have that too read more

strips are exactly as described! not sure if they make there own chips but the sauce is worth it ! fresh homemade chips would make it so much better ! I believe thats the way it was done in the 80's read more

Pros: nice customer service, military discounts, quick service Cons: THE FOOD, where it kinda matters most. The "famous" cheese strips tasted like mild cheddar cheese straight out of the bag from your local grocery store. And the chips tasted fairly stale. Lastly their chili was like the run of the mill chili from the can. read more

There is a sign that suggests you try Dwight's "World Famous Cheese Strips." The person in front of me in line ordered a burger and fries. I ordered a cheeseburger and "cheese strips." The person behind me in line ordered nachos. Both of their orders came out before mine. I was eagerly waiting for the cheese strips. I didn't really look at a picture or even ask what they were. I like cheese, and there is a sign that says that the "cheese strips" have been served there for around 60 years or something. My food comes out: A tasty standard cheeseburger, and a stack of tortilla chips with shredded mild cheddar cheese on them. What the heck? That is their special signature dish? Un-cooked nachos? I felt like someone was playing a trick on me. I checked a picture of them that was posted with a small story about a kid eating them and then growing up and taking his grandkids. Yes, it was not a joke; I was served cheese strips. ????? How do you eat them? Sitting on a windy beach, trying to eat tortilla chip strips with a pile of shredded cheese on top with dip is a ridiculous idea. Gravity is not enough to hold shredded cheese on chips in that situation. The cheese should be melted. It would taste better melted. Then they would be nachos. Cheese strips?? I felt full and stupid for eating them. In my defense, the homemade dipping sauce that they come with is good. read more

5 stars for sentimentally awesome! I spent most summers of my youth baking next to Tower 5 and eating cold strips from Dwightsw with my pals. People.

I hadn't eaten Dwight's strips, cheese, and sauce since the 70's until November 2010 and again on Memorial Day 2011...still as delicious as I remembered! I felt 16 again!

This is a full service concession stand with lots of food choices, bikes and other beach rentals plus the BEST gift shop I've encountered at any beach from Santa Barbara to Dana Point...
