About The Shwack Beach Grill
Beyond their size, small businesses are defined by their spirit. And at the helm are their intrepid founders—scrappy, ambitious, and resilient. They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
I love Shwack burgers in Dana Point! They are always made to perfection. This patty is grilled perfectly, softest bun, melted cheese and packed with lettuce & tomato. We always like to say when we go to shwacks “let’s go get burger salads” since they are so fresh tasting. The spuds are amazing too especially with their jalapeño ranch dip. One of the best burgers in town. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Service is quick and great views just a block down from the restaurant. Sitting on the Main Street of lantern district
I want to like this place, but every experience is mediocre at best, from the lack of friendliness of the kids that wait on you, to the mediocre food. My recent cheese burger had a piece of wax paper in the burger, I'm assuming from the slice of cheese they used. Lord only knows. Just not impressed.
Absolutely loved this place! 1st time at the restaurant and we started with a very friendly staff member named Elizabeth. The cooks smiled and seemed to enjoy their work environment. The food was GREAT! We ordered the Mahi burgers, shrimp tacos without tortillas on a bed of cabbage( custom built), and the island chicken sandwich. We are not locals, but will be back when in town The quality of food is wonderful, and priced very generously.
The service was absolutely atrocious last night. Whoever’s bright idea it was to have that few servers for a Sunday night needs to be fired. I will not be coming back as you all need to do better. After paying $50 for 3 people to eat you would expect ample service and to have your food within 10-20 minutes AT THE MOST. As a business student I could not help but laugh at the lack of efficiency this establishment presented. You need to prioritize the customers present and hell if you’re too busy to have the take out orders and the people looking to dine in then you need to expand. This was the perfect example of a restaurant being bottlenecked and you need to figure it out fast because that is not fair to the workers who are working tirelessly so you can save about $20 an hour. If you had one more person working I guarantee you would not have had as many people walk out. You also lost someone’s order and by the time I got my food it was cold so do better and if you need someone who actually knows how to do business you can respond and I can give you a free consult.
Great chicken barbecue sandwich here. Good atmosphere and service. The food was quick too. Really recommend for a quick and easy bite.
