Shake Shack’s menu is known for such American staples as beef burgers, chicken burgers, the aforementioned crinkle-cut fries, hot dogs (split-style cut down the middle), frozen custards and lemonade. The Huntington Beach Shack, along with the other to O.C. locations, will serve the Orange County-exclusive Dreamsicle Shake featuring vanilla frozen custard with orange soda and topped with whipped cream and orange candy sprinkles.

For its grand opening in Surf City, a wood-paneled car from the Southern California Woodie Club will be the inaugural vehicle to make its way through the Huntington Beach Shake Shack drive-thru lane. What’s more, one dollar from the sale of every sandwich at the new location will go to Second Harvest Food Bank, one of Orange County’s largest food banks.

Originally conceived as a hot dog cart operation in Madison Square Park in 2001 by celebrity chef and restauranteur Daniel Meyer, Shake Shack has since swelled to more than 350 franchises in 33 U.S. states, and over 200 international locations across London, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Singapore, Mexico City, Istanbul, Dubai, Tokyo as of the third quarter of 2024. In August, the company confirmed the closure of five restaurants in Los Angeles, Culver City and Canoga Park.
Fun factoid: Meyer came up with his burger chain’s name after watching the 1978 film version of the musical “Grease” wherein Sandy and Danny dance on an amusement park ride called the “Shake Shack” while crooning the movie’s final number “You’re the One That I Want.”
Hours: Monday-Thursday from 10:30 a.m. until 11 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays from 10:30 a.m. until 11 p.m. (dining room) and midnight (drive-thru).
