Zack's Surf City on the north side of the HB Pier is hands-down one of the best spots on the beach. Joe and Mike Ali, the owners, run the place the right way--friendly, welcoming, and genuinely focused on taking care of people. They are not only wonderful humans, but also pillars of the community. Whether you're grabbing food, renting a bike or surf gear, or just stopping by while spending the day at the beach, the service is always excellent. You can tell Joe and Mike take pride in the business and in being part of the Huntington Beach community. Great people, great location, and exactly the kind of locally owned business that makes HB special. Highly recommend Zack's Surf City! The Ali ohana are absolute LEGENDS! read more

Was able to obtain a free meal from Zack's that was available to the community, including the unhoused without any judgement. There was also live music, and lots of wonderful people present. What a wonderful thing to do for the community. This is not the first time in my life that I have seen Zack's support people in the community, even when nobody was looking and they received no recognition. Zack's is a staple of the community, and I strongly recommend supporting this business. They have a wide variety of products, food, and beverages they sell. Thank you for the meal, and act of kindness. I've personally experienced many of them in life, and this is another addition and kindness provided to the community as well. read more

Zack's - Free plate of seafood and coleslaw - Bike Rentals Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

I went here with my Girl Scouts troop. It took a little while to get all our food, but they probably don't often get an order for 12 people all at once. The super (or supreme?) nachos looked fantastic (one of my girls got it). I had a cheeseburger, and it was a very tasty burger. It was good accessible beach food, and I would definitely go back read more

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. read more

Awesome place! Bikes are the best. And best price Love renting from them!! Highly recommended read more

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! read more

Zack's is on the boardwalk at Huntington Beach. We were able to sit down in their designated outdoor area where music was playing. The service was great too. However, the supreme nachos and the 2 Mahi tacos were not worth the $53 we paid. read more

Zack's - Nachos supreme with steak and 2 Mahi tacos - Bike Rentals Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

My experience with Zach's Rental was disgusting. The way I was treated felt completely discriminatory and targeted. He prioritized certain customers while treating me like I didn't matter. His behavior made me feel singled out and disrespected in a way that absolutely came off as racist. On top of that, he was rude, dismissive, and the food was straight‑up nasty. I will never return and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. read more

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! read more

Zack's - Shrimp and "chips" ;) - Bike Rentals Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Rode my bike along the path by the pier snd decided to stop in for something to drink because I ran out of water. Was actually wanting lemonade but their mini fridge of drinks only had sodas, water and Gatorade, so I got the Gatorade. $4.14 for a bottle of Gatorade is a bit ridiculous. But I guess you're paying for convenience. read more

Openly racist and unbelievably rude. The owners cursed at me and my two young sons using slurs. Completely unacceptable. The wetsuits smelled like urine and the surfboards were in terrible shape. Dirty, poorly maintained equipment and hostile people running the place. Avoid this shop. Go up the street to a business that actually respects customers. read more

It's a dirty, beach-side concession stand with rude employees. Their strips and cheese are not the OG ones that everyone talks about, although I do like their sauce. Dwight's is the rightful heir to the strips and cheese legacy. Zack's uses store-bought chips and pre-shredded cheese that has that powdery mouth feel. read more

Zacks, I have always love their fish n chips here. Their smoothies are delicious here too. I have also rented bikes and boards here in the past. Prices are good for what you pay for too. Service is good here too. I recommend Zack's. read more

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. read more

The Fish n And Chips and Calamari were very delicious, very fresh and not dry. I would recommend them

Bike rentals experience only - Always a pleasant experience. Joe is amazing and his pops. This is our go to Bike rental in HB. Price - Very reasonable in my opinion and right on the beach can't beat that. read more

"Zack" personally made our trip to HB outstanding. He helped our family of five get the right sized and speed of bikes so we could travel and see the things we wanted to on our trip. I enjoyed hearing his personal story and how he developed his business. Wish you and your family continued success. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE I COME ALL THE TIME, the owner is so sweet and nice I love renting bikes from them!!! A must when in Huntington!!

got acai bowl, fries and sandwich. i'd recommend getting the sandwich it comes with tortilla chips. i would say the fries is pretty dry and need more salt. acai bowl was good and refreshing but melts fast and disappointed with the small portion considering the price read more

Thank You for the kindness and courtesy during my visit this Wednesday. A quick shout out to Mike and Mo(e)! I can tell this is a first class operation offering food, beach rentals and an outstanding family friendly environment. The eating/lounging area was not only super comfortable but clean as a whistle. Located on the boardwalk (on the right of the pier) the view is great for people watching and enjoying the surfers antics. Just great. read more

I came here to rent a wetsuit and a board to surf for the day and had no idea they also had a shop, bike rentals and food, etc. On my next trip down here I'm definitely gonna spend the entire day on the beach and make this my hub. The price for the rentals was fair. Some things might be a little higher, but the convenience cannot be matched love it. read more

Do not rent bikes here. We stopped in and spoke to the owner Zack about renting EBikes for the Newport Boat Parade. We asked if we could keep them overnight, since the parade starts at 6:30pm and we would be watching the parade and Zack's closes at 5pm. The owner was very nice and said we could keep the bikes overnight, showed us 2 EBikes with lights which he said we would need to ride at night, and said he would make us a great deal of $80/bike for 24 hour rental. We immediately agreed and said we would go ahead and reserve them and pay, and come back around 4 to pick them up. Zack said to not worry about paying and just come back at 4pm and he would have them ready for us. We talked to him for 15 minutes about where we were from, how he built his business, and how much he enjoys Huntington Beach. He was such a nice guy. We planned our whole evening around this and went back at 3:50 to pick up the bikes. We were greeted by a very rude man and asked for Zack and he said Zack was gone for the day. We explained that we were the couple picking up the EBikes for the boat parade and he said, "oh yeah, my dad told me something about that. It's $120/bike plus a $900 deposit." We quickly let him know that Zack quoted us $80/bike and asked him to call Zack to confirm. He rudely said "Zack is my dad and I don't care what he told you. It's $120/bike and I'm not calling him. I don't care what he told you". We were being very nice and asked again why the owner would quote us $80/bike and reserve the bikes for us, just to have us come back and learn that wasn't possible. The son told us he didn't care what his dad said and didn't care about our business and that we could leave. And there were 5 other customers in the store who witnessed this, and he didn't seem to mind. It was the absolute rudest and worst service we received all weekend in Huntington. It was just bizarre to be treated so well by the owner and so horribly by the son. This place is definitely trying to scam tourists, and just doesn't care about their customers. Do not give them your business. read more

We got a Mango smoothie and a Rainbow shaved ice and both really good and really refreshing and they saved us from the hour of biking when we got back. We rented a four wheel beach bike at this place and we had so much fun riding through the beach, really good but it was also also pretty expensive! - Kat & Xavi (4/06/24). read more

If i could give it zero stars i would. I have a friend that is dark and when serving us fries we found hair in the chili cheese fries. We complained, only to receive more fries with pubic hair right on top of the fries. This place is full of white racist old farts and the sons are also very rude, dont eat here if ur not white, besides that the food is terrible and over priced. read more

Rented a large car bike this afternoon and asked if they would honor a veteran discount using my drivers license (marked veteran) as I did not bring my Veteran ID with me. The gentleman working behind the counter was extremely rude and sarcastic saying I could get a fake ID like that anywhere. Jokingly, I asked him where his military ID was? He quickly pointed to the pictures behind him saying that his Dad owns the shop and was a green berets. He then started questioning if I served in Afghanistan and scoffed when I said I had not. He smuggly said "give her $5 off and you know what keep the bike an extra 20 minutes" at which point I was like "ohhhh you want to help me out even though I didn't serve in Afghanistan?" He replied, "you're a vet, you should be able to take it." I laughed and said, "Yeah I definitely can." My friends and I rode the bike and had a good time, making sure to bring it back early. I got my ID, paid the $5 discount back, and let the same gentleman know I would be leaving a negative review. He said, "Sweet!" And put the money in the tip jar. Customer service tip: politely decline to give a discount without proper identification. FYI: the US military has fought wars in multiple countries other than Afghanistan over the last several decades, but defending my service to our country to some kid for a $5 discount is not why I enlisted. read more

Terrible snack shack experience. Ordered chili cheese strips, got nachos with chili cheese on it and worst chili I have tasted in a while( unsalted and with a very little overall amount on a bland tortilla chip). The guy at the cash register argued the dish being called chili cheese strips, wasn't misleading and wouldn't give me a box becuase I didn't order it to go. Their burgers were held together by thousand Island sauce and their hot dog was a little burned at the ends. Wouldn't eat there again. read more

OMG! Has Zacks got it going on.Since remodeling their patio and getting their beer and wine license,it's arguably the best spot in Huntington Beach for Hanging out,people and event watching and they have delicious food too Way to go Mike,Joe and Ron.You Guys are Simply "The Best"!! read more

Older man working is horrible and the strips with cheese are not the OG ones you get south of the pier.

Just spent $6 for a crappy ice cream cone and was told by the owner to get off his table. Apparently not allowed to linger at this place. Worlds worse ice cream cone. read more

He was very kind to us when we forgot our swimsuits and had yummy food! Mr. Zack is awesome!

Good experience overall at zacks hb. I went here on a Saturday afternoon looking for bike rentals and this place offered great service and provided a variety of bikes to rent. It's located right next to the hb pier and on the boardwalk. It makes it easy to rent and get going on the trails. First thing is that zack the owner is extremely friendly and you can tell he loves his job and has been there forever. My family decided to rent a tandem bikes since we brought our niece and nephew. It's tough going up hills and you can tell from all the salty air, sand and being old, the bikes aren't really smooth. I prefer to rent ebikes since you can pedal and use throttle. They also have a table area that you can enjoy snacks, food and drinks after a ride read more

Rented bikes (beach cruisers) here in January & met the owner! He & the team were wonderful! Bikes were in excellent condition & seem to be serviced often. They have a huge variety to pick from to really showcase your personality. It was a super quick process both to rent & to return. We rented the bikes for 1 hour & it was so fun. Very centrally located to parking, food, the path's & everything you'd need. Highly recommend this spot if looking to rent bikes for a ride on the coast in HB! read more

What an amazing place! Definitely stop there if you go to Huntington Beach and you want to rent a regular bike, or a electric bike! Family run business for many years and Zack is super cool!!! read more
