The people were very nice and the burgers were amazing. Absolutely delicious, obviously handmade, not some Costco disc. Fresh vegetables as well. The fries were…almost perfect, but that’s only because I like a little thicker cut. They were, however, perfectly cooked and the taste was fabulous.

Thank you, Thank you!
Burgers ARE as good as you’ve heard they can be, just you have to come HERE to get one. The Bacon Blue was so good I forgot my beer, I forgot ketchup….sooo good!
As potent as a trophy LingCod or the cutest dog on Earth, the Chicken Buffalo could make a tough guy cry for simple joy.

Loved it! The staff is very welcoming and friendly. The burger I had was delicious! It was a perfect little stop. They have indoor and outdoor seating. We ate inside because it was a little chilly outside. There are restrooms inside too. Great place to eat!!

I had the ¼lb Cali hot dog which was a quarter pound beef dog with smeared avocado, green lettuce, tomato, and mayo on a deli bun.
I ordered garlic fries which were really good except the garlic was just grilled minced garlic sprinkled on top, which didn’t stick to the fries. An aioli sauce would be so much better here with maybe some parmesan sprinkled on top. A really varied menu with lots of specials, and breakfast on the weekends. Excellent variety of drinks including a Pepsi brand soda fountain. no alcohol.

Our group of 3 went here for lunch and were very disappointed. We waited for over 30 minutes after ordering even though they were not busy. My 1/2 lb Western bacon cheeseburger was served with a tiny drizzle of BBQ sauce and was quite dry. When I asked for more sauce for my burger I was told I had to pay 54¢! This was quite bothersome considering that the burger I purchased was over $13 and came with such a pathetically small amount of sauce. The onion rings were greasy and flavorless and the fries were okay when they were fresh, but quickly turned a weird texture before our meal was even done, as if they were re-fried. Considering the very high prices for their burgers and fries, we were hoping for a much better experience. Nearly $40 for a couple! I don’t think we will be returning.

I LOVE a good burger…and THIS place gave it to me Excellent customer service and good food is ALWAYS a perfect combo. They also have great milkshakes and the Old Bay seasoned fries were cooked to perfection

Sadly, a shell of its former self. I have been coming to Surfside regularly since moving to the area. Used to recommend to visitors. Since changing ownership, it’s just not the same. It stead of thick burgers, the cook seems to smash them. Ordered medium, got well done. Fries are barely palatable with fry sauce. Burger was over salted with minimal beef flavor. Salt n pepper shakers feel like they haven’t been wiped down in weeks. Wonder if it’s even local grass-fed anymore. I threw away half of my order even though I was famished. So disappointing. I used to love Surfside. I was reluctant to leave a review the last several times as I thought the new owners were going through growing pains, but sadly this doesn’t seem to be the case. I can no longer recommend. 2 stars for decent service. Photo is of 1/3lb bacon cheddar cooked medium

Surfside does not have an extensive menu but they are good at what they offer. Had their Southwest Burger with a side of garlic fries. The burger was solid. It could have used more jalapeno for a better kick. The grass fed beef patty was nice and juicy. Garlic home cut fries were amazing, doused in a ton of fresh sauteed garlic. Guaranteed to give you garlic breath but so good.

Burgers are Fire a tad bit on the expensive side but you get what you pay for, reason for the 4 stars. Seasoned Fries are fresh and perfect with ranch dressing. I would highly recommend if looking for a great burger to fill your tummy.

I’m really torn with this. I would have given more stars because the burger was absolutely delicious and my husband said his was as well. Those fries though really let us down. We got 3 orders; plain, garlic and nacho. All 3 orders were luke warm at best, we asked them to redo the nacho fries because that was our youngest order (her whole meal actually) they took it back and instead of bringing out a fresh order they “warmed it” but it wasn’t really any warmer than it started. Spent about 50 for 2 burgers, 3 fries, a basic dog and 4 small drinks.
