Friendly service. Helped me pump up my tires despite not being a customer in any way.

Cindy Mastagni

Great location. Sat outside enjoying our treat and watching tricked-out cars and eclectic people going by. Favorite past time.

Jera Rickertsen

Such a great place to get an ice cream on the boardwalk. The Strips with Cheese are nostalgic to HB

Brandon Willis

My son and I ate here and rented a couple of bikes and were very pleased with the nice staff and good food. Nice place!

Kittykat

Chips and cheese are the best! Sit at the table outside and soak in the scenery. Love this place.

Costa Mesa Dave

This place is awesome! My dad tells me stories how he used to come here when he was a kid, my dad brought me here when I was a kid and now I bring my kids here. I love this place!!

I grew up in Huntington Beach. Dwight's Beach Concession was my first summer job. This was summer 1968. It was a great place to work in the summer. Every summer I make it a habit to go back to Dwight's and have a burger and some soft strips. The burgers are old school style, fresh hot and very tasty. The soft strips are hard to find anywhere else and the hot sauce is perfect. I love this place and will go back each summer and get a burger for as long as I live.

Lynda Hernandez

I grew up going to Huntington Beach on the weekends and we would always get some Cheese Strips. Brings back fond childhood memories of the 70s! I still visit on my trips home just to get an order. 😋

Cathy Marino

The original....My dad took me to the beach in 1963 and we always had strips w cheese and Dwight's famous sauce. It is still a family favorite! Other food good, too!

Alicia Kurtz

I’m 50 years old and for at least a year I’ve been craving what I’ve been calling “ Beach snack bar chips and cheese “ . Trying to find recipe. Remebering the sauce being sweet and savory, as a 7 year old girl who spent every summer at the beach with her cousins. Always got the chips with cheese. As I can’t believe I found this I’m going to go crazy because I live an hour away. I need the sauce!!! But here’s the thing.. What makes the chips, cheese unmelted, and sauce work…. Is the little grains of sand that without Fail would always end up on the chips and salsa. That Is what makes it though!!! I think it’s the secret ingredient that never gets used when making, they just know the ocean air and sand is what makes it so amazing!!!$ So I suggest to all get a order go sit by the water in the sand and eat up and if you get a little sand in them it’s all good “ eat it “ I promise it’s what makes it!!!! Now I gotta get he Some!!!!

Debra Flores

As a teenager my friends & I hung out on the beach. The best memory I have is savoring a container of Strips! ❣️ They we're so yummy 😋 I found the recipe for the sauce, I want to reproduce the recipe for my Son who has heard we talk about them. I'm now over 70 & he's 45.

Scott Runnels

I spent alot if my teenage years at Huntington Beach in the late 70's and early 80's. I know the chips and cheese are just that. But with that sweet barely spicy sauce it just works. To most might sound crazy but Dwight's was the place that had these. I enjoyed them then and Whenever in the area always get them again. Great teenage memories at Huntington always included these chips !!!

Andre Arotcharen

This is a must if you visit Huntington Beach. All us locals have it.

There really is nothing I love at this place except for one thing. In fact I will tell you that I have tried other things here are they are simply OK. This ONE item here makes it so this place gets a 5 star rating. Its the Strips and Cheese. I can't even tell you why it is so good. Its simply chips, with unmelted shredded cheese, with a side of this slightly sweet tomato based sauce. I know it sounds so strange but this combination just WORKS. And I can't seem to replicate the flavor unless you get it from this place. Its a famous dish that locals all know about. I know you will think I am crazy, but go here for this one item and experience this!

Skylar Coland

Very nice to eat some fish and chips next to the water. A bit slow service but they seemed to know what they were doing.

Timothy Te

Just like another reviewer here, I only come here for one thing; Cheese Strips. What it is, is a paper tray filled with chips and maybe at most two fists full of cheese and this red tomato sauce they put on it. Other than this single item there's nothing that stands out here.

The Batman (Rosario S. Cassata)

This place offers the Famous Cheese Strips. It is Chips and cheese but it is very good. Sit outside and do some people watching.

Valeria Tenorio

Got “world famous cheese strips” and some chili cheese fries. Chili cheese fries were good but the cheese strips were literal tortilla chips with shredded cheese on top with a side sauce similar tasting to chamoy sauce. Didn’t enjoy those personally

Food alright. I just need something to fill my stomach instead of going fancy with near by eateries. Fish and chip was kinda too oily for me. Came with 2 sauces with no coleslaw. The strawberry and banana smoothie was very disappointing. I thought it would be thick and fruity. Instead, it was just a slushy to me. Beautiful day to stroll along the board walk and enjoy the beach and pier. There were only 3 tables on the side, but they were all taken when I was there so I ate on the beach.
