The food here is phenomenal question and the service is exceptional! This was my first time being there and I was warmly welcomed by the front cashier girls and both Laura and Nina were friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. I even got to meet the owners and they were very friendly and treated me like family. This is the great place to take the family for a hearty meal that is not too far from the beach. They have an amazing selection of gourmet hot dogs, Smashburgers, and chicken items, as well as some phenomenal sides.

Who doesn’t like a good dawg. From the early days of pushing a New York-style hot dog cart to the roaming food truck rolling into rallies and festivals, Surf Dawgs Grill continues their successful trajectory now with own brick and mortar. Decked out in a laid-back surf vibe with counter ordering, a collective arrangement of seating inside and deck outside welcoming your furry friends. Wall menu (and paper menu) offers nearly a dozen gourmet dawgs, a number of one-of-kind smash burgers, a plethora of specialty sides and extras. Hand-spun milk shakes and handmade sorbet-style ices. Their dawgs are 100% all beef Sabrett hot dogs shipped fresh directly from New York. Our order was the Carolina Dawg smothered with house-made chili, diced onions, mustard and soul slaw and the Soul Dawg loaded wi

The service was wonderful! Food came out fast and was correct. The fries are crispy. The employees are so friendly and knew every customer that walked in by name. I had a couple of questions and they were answered with great explanation. This is a restaurant that everyone should support.

Very good restaurant that’s not afraid to play with their food in a good way! Great Service with good recommendations. The food was fantastic. Fries cooked perfectly crispy with good seasonings. Good portions for the price. Good southern sweet tea. I would recommend going for some of the more out there offerings instead of a basic chili cheese dog. I’ve never been a fan of pickles, but the spicy maple bourbon pickles on the Maui burger didn’t taste like pickles and weren’t very spicy, and they gave the whole sandwich a crispy texture and sweet aftertaste that was perfect.

Awesome service, amazing menu, and an all around great dining experience. Went there for Valentine’s Day so my wife could get a weiner, but she went for the chicken instead! I had the hot honey chicken. It was delicious. We’re trying the smash burgers on the next visit. We also had a key lime shake and chocolate strawberry shake. Totally worth it! Only our second visit, but we’ll be back!
