Katsu
Johnny S.

Decided to come here with my bro, and as a twin, we (un)surprisingly ordered the same Katsu (forgot what type of meat it was, but it was bomb!). Note this ain't the Japanese Katsu, the breading is thicker and it comes with macaroni, not miso soup. Still it was amazing, the sauce was delish, and crunchy! Although most people seem to enjoy the burgers (which is what I'm getting next time), try this Katsu if you want a bit o Hawaii and friendly service! After we finished we walked a couple minutes to the beach to burn off those calories, and my goodness the view was a nice dessert!

Fish and soggy chips
Tim L.

I rounded up. Rating should be 3-3.5. Lunched here on 5 January on a very rainy day. Wife had fish and chips; I had an open-faced turkey sammich. The fish was okay to good but lacked flavor. We added salt and it was then good. The chips were soggy; should never happen. My turkey sammich was very tasty but...$22 for, no kidding, two slices of good tasting turkey on bread with gravy and mashies. I really liked the taste but the price for what we got was pretty high. Would I eat here again? Probably. But I'd return the soggy fries next time. Service was friendly and pretty quick.

The Shore Shack soft opening is off to an excellent start! Excellent food. Great vibe. Perfect beach location. I had the BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger with fresh house made Potato Chips. Super Yum! The burger is is daily fresh ground beef. Offered with the customer choice of either flame grill, or flat top cook methods. I ordered mine flame grilled to a perfect medium since it's fresh ground. So good! Sev The Coke here is from a fountain. The fountain produces a nice glass of Coca-Cola. A vibe that reminds of earlier days. A staff that cares about your visit. Fast and free Internet to help you share family visits. A cute shop for Pacifica gifts too! Every point above adds up to a bright future for The Shore Shack. And steps from the beach is great too! I will be back!

Smash burger - Yum!
Leslie C.

Nice spot in Pacifica by the water. We specifically came here for the smash burger and wasn't disappointed. Restaurant is nice and clean. Love the high ceiling. You place your order at the counter. The staff was friendly and came to our table a few times to check on us. The food we ordered was delicious: smash burger, chicken bacon ranch sandwich, grilled chicken sandwich and corn dog. The soft serve ice cream was an added bonus.

Clam chowder with crab, cup (to-go) 5/5 Also had lightly toasted sourdough slices. Yum!!
Stacy P.

My husband and I came here for takeout and the staff was professional and nice. We ordered 2 smash burgers with fries and sweet potato fries. I also saw one of the soups of the day was clam chowder with crab. Our order was ready in 10 minutes which allowed me to take a quick walk to see the shore. Smash burger: 5/5 Savory and meaty! So good! We did takeout because I had ripe avocados at home so I added that in. We got grilled onions and those were delicious! My husband did note that there weren't any frills with lettuce or tomatoes but honestly it didn't need it. Chowder: 5/5 Delicious and the fresh crab on top was so sweet! I wish I got a bowl instead of a cup. My husband and I will be back and we'd love to dine in. The interior is clean and nice with diner vibes. Reminds me of Ruby's Diner in SoCal, but a light teal. Can't wait to try to banana split too!

Fish and chips
Rachel C.

We decided to try our new local spot, and we liked it! They have you order at the counter first, but then plenty of people around to bring your beverage, offer refills, and buss tables. We had a French dip, buffalo wings, patty melt and fish and chips. .you fish and chips were very tender and fresh tasting. Comes with malt vinegar and tartar sauce. The wings were cooked perfectly, even though a few were pretty deformed looking lol. This is classic diner type food and would be a great stop for a bite fresh from the beach. Owned by the same folks who run Breakers and happy to support another local business. Couple suggestions...plates could use a little more "refinement," just meaning they are not all that much to look at. We eat with our eyes first! Wings would be nice if they came with some extra buffalo sauce on the side to dip in. Plate visuals notwithstanding, it didn't take away from the flavor which was right where we wanted it!

Smashed Burger was fire
Mike S.

5 stars -- because 4.5 isn't an option and I'm not here to start a fight. Stopped into this newly opened, family-owned diner with a 50's vibe that somehow feels both nostalgic and like it actually passed a health inspection this century. It's right next to the ocean, which means you can enjoy your meal while contemplating the vastness of the sea... or the fact that seagulls definitely want your food more than you do. I ordered the grilled smash burger, which was excellent. My daughter inhaled the tater tots and homemade chips like she was being timed. I tried one chip, and immediately questioned why I've accepted non-crispy chips They also have a merchandise shop attached, filled with things you don't need but will absolutely buy anyway because "supporting local businesses" feels better than admitting you just wanted another hoodie. Friendly staff, great food, ocean air, and no identity crisis about being a diner. Strongly recommend.

We're really happy to have another restaurant in this location, and we tried it today on their fourth day in business. The menu has a lot of variety, and the prices seem fair. The staff was amazingly friendly, though they didn't get a chance to check in for drink refills. The food was good, and with a bit of time, I think it could become great. I'd suggest using ground beef that's not quite as lean for their burgers, and actually smashing the smashburgers to get that classic texture and flavor. We can't wait to try more of their menu options soon, and hopefully raise this to a 5-star review.

Misubi; teriyaki chicken, spam, and chicken katsu
Rick B.

Stopped by Shore Shack and had a great experience. The chicken katsu was perfectly cooked, nice and crispy without being greasy. I also really liked the macaroni, it wasn't drowning in cream, and I didn't realize how much better I liked it this way. The service was super friendly, which made the whole experience even better. And don't skip dessert, the soft serve was hands down the best I've had in a long time. Simple, well-executed food done right. I'll definitely be back.

Soft serve

Another sunny Saturday afternoon so we decided to go back to The Shore Shack for an actual meal after bumming around the beach. We ordered at the counter and grabbed a table outside. The outdoor dining area had shades, but umbrellas were available as well. Utensils were already on the table, and then the staff brought out water and our food shortly. While the $29 price tag on a lobster roll was decent considering all the lobster meat on it, both the bread and the lobster were dry and flavorless. All we got was a small lemon wedge for flavoring, but I could definitely use some melted butter to warm up the lobster meat gently, then lightly tossed with a lemony mayonnaise dressing to enhance the lobster's natural sweetness. Same thing with the fish...it's fresh and plenty of it but clearly needed a bit of seasoning. The best thing was the fries...they're fried to perfection and aromatic.

Soft serve banana split

We stopped in for dinner and dessert on a Sunday. The kids were so excited about the banana split. The food was yummy. The service was really good. Staff went out of their way to make our kids feel special. We'll definitely be back next time we're in Pacifica.

Jordan C.

Love the 50's vibe & the friendly service. Large menu, something for everyone. I got the crispy chicken sandwich on sourdough. Kids got fish & chips plus Mac & cheese. They ate it all up. Get the whoopie pie dessert, soft serve ice cream, or cookies for dessert. They were all delicious.

Caesar salad
Jennifer M.

So happy to see the Shore shack open! I went on a Sunday evening with two other people. When we arrived there were four or five tables open and we were greeted promptly. I had a cheeseburger and a Shirley temple. Both were delicious. By the time we left the restaurant it was quite busy. The inside is nice and clean and the staff were attentive and helpful.

The Lapu Lapu is a sweet and refreshing drink, definitely something you will like if you want something sweet instead of strong. The Mochiko Chicken Loco Moco was really good. You get the taste of Beef Loco Moco in chicken form. The Chicken also added more of a crunchy texture from the crispy skin while having very moist meat. The Kamehameha BBQ Chicken was also tasty, with the moist meat. The Sisig Fried Rice was really good, being moist and had plenty of Sisig. The Poke Nachos had a decent amount of Poke and Avacado, and had a nice crunch with the Wanton Chips. The Ubemisu was a crowd favorite. I thought it was not going to taste like Ube because of the light color of the Cream, but I was glad to be wrong. It was very moist and thankfully had good Ube flavor. The Ube Bars were not bad. Also, could taste the Ube, but was more dense and just found the Ubemisu better. Overall, great food and service. Definitely would come back here again to try more delicious treats.

My go-to order, the Grilled Chicken Breast, was, as always, absolutely delicious and utterly dependable - it truly never disappoints. Beyond the fantastic food, the service was exceptional. Nicole, who assisted me, was wonderful, adding to the warm and welcoming atmosphere. It's clear that great food paired with attentive service makes all the difference.

Junior, the manager, is doing an outstanding job ensuring the place is sparkling clean, which definitely enhances the dining experience.

It seems San Francisco real next door neighbor is Daly City and it's usually considered more like a cousin to city of San Francisco. You can find a Wendy's in Daly City and not in San Francisco. One thing you will see in Daly City is a Hawaiian seafood platter just over $10. There is a place where you will find cheap but cheerful Hawaiian food. It's located at the Westlake Shopping Center and it's called Ohana Hawaiian BBQ. On a San Francisco break and on the first day of March Winter stroll in Daly City I landed at Westlake Shopping Center. There are good restaurants at Westlake like Original Joe's ,Blue Line Pizza, Chick &Jajang , Banana Island , Little Rose's Kitchen, and Tiny Sushi. I did try a spot which has Hawaiian BBQ and you can get a seafood plate for the price of a mini plate in San Francisco. Inside Ohana Hawaiian BBQ they have lots of interesting Hawaiian decor. You feel you are at a casual dining spot in Hawaii. I got the seafood platter plate and it was a bit crunchy and the fried fish was fresh and the fried shrimp was okay. Once you dip it with tartar sauce it becomes tastier. The Mac salad was solid. They also sell cheeseburgers and other plates like loco moco and katsu chicken. Grab some good food from the state of Hawaii in the USA Nextdoor ( not the app) to San Francisco. Something for everyone let's"go" to Daly City next to "San Francisco" to a place with a Blue Line Pizza and Little Rose's Kitchen and diagonally across "Trader Joe" where they sell the "Loco Moco" Come to Nextdoor to San Francisco and take a city "break" go to Daly City at "Westlake"where you can getting everything from a Nations "milkshake"and then go to Sheng Kee for Taiwanese-style buns, summer romance, and "mooncake"
