I heard the rave reviews, and eagerly headed to The Sugar Shack for breakfast. I will never return. My omelette and chili cheese fries had unmelted slices of American cheese on them, and the chili was literally tasteless. The hash browns were barely cooked. Seriously, folks - AMERICAN CHEESE? Perhaps they ran out of actual cheese, and my experience was... more

What a cool restaurant close to the beach. We sat inside because there was no wait. About 30 minute wait at both outside places. Big servings (we should have shared the hash browns). The food was really good and the service great! Best coffee I have ever had! more

We visited the Sugar Shack several times during our stay in Huntington Beach, and were never disappointed. It opens very early in the morning and closes mid-afternoon, so you can eat breakfast as early or late as you like. There was a short wait for tables most days (this was around Easter). You can eat outside, front or back, or... more

We stumbled across Michele's Sugar Shack while exploring Huntington Beach. Best find in a really long time. We came back every morning we were in town. We recommended to friends... The service was great. We were traveling with toddlers and they took care of us. The food was great. The service was great. Would highly recommend! more

We loved the Sugar Shack. My 2 sons and I (teenagers) ventured out while my husband stayed back at the hotel to do some work. We were pleasantly surprised when we discovered the Sugar Shack. Service was very prompt- in a nice way, we didn't feel rushed. Between all of us we had the Breakfast Buritto, Pancakes, and standard 2... more

Best place to eat breakfast in Huntington Beach AND this area of So. Calif. Worth the wait, and there will be a wait. But, don't be deterred as what seems like could take an hour to wait, may take only 15-20 minutes. Make sure to go thru restaurant to back patio area where tables seem to open quicker. Can not... more

You can't be in a hurry, or the wait will ruin your experience. But the locals eat here. Those on vacation quickly figure out this is where to catch a nice laid back breakfast. The food is very good. The people watching is fun, and it's very casual. There is a seating secret, but I will not tell you what... more

Saw all these reviews and thought it would be great but was kind of disappointed. Ate inside, hotter than hades, food acceptable, but i grew up in hermosa, manhattan beach, used to beach breakfast houses....this is NOT one of those. more like a glorified Dennys...also very cramped inside or out. more

We walked to the Sugar Shack every day for breakfast while we were visiting HB. We definitely recommend arriving early and sitting out front-service is better than in courtyard! The local diners were charming and the menu variety fit our tastes. more
