Best of Huntington Beach
Restaurants, Dining and Food
takes into account the crowds,
popularity, tastes, service,
price and all the things you,
the connoisseur find important.
We take suggestions, send out
our taste-testers and weigh the
results for best of postings.
Let's get started. Our
publisher worked two years at
the Huntington Beach Conference
and Visitors Bureau, answering
visitor questions such as, "What
restaurant has the best view?"
and "What restaurant is the best
for a group event?" Then there's
the seasonal queries such as,
"Where do we eat when coming to
see the December Cruise of
Lights in Huntington Harbour?"
or "We're coming into town for
the US Open...where can we find
some affordable dining near the
beach?"
All important questions,
dining out is no longer a
luxury. Californians spend so
much time driving, commuting,
working and traveling that
restaurants are one of their top
concerns on a daily basis as
eating out has become a staple.
Fortunately, the food selections
keep improving in Huntington
Beach and the number of
restaurants seems to have
increased with the opening of a
new mall, Bella Terra, which
brought to the city chains such
as California Pizza Kitchen,
Islands, The Cheesecake Factory
and many others.
By the numbers, McDonalds
probably continues to handle the
largest volume of food trips.
With the introduction of great
menu items under $3, you can put
together some fajita rollups, a
side salad and dessert for
around $6. The food is actually
reasonable for those looking for
finger foods, drive away meals,
and options to suit an entire
family (and especially the
kids.)
Burgers are as American as
the beach is to Huntington
Beach. In Huntington Beach, one
of the favorite hamburgers comes
from the California-based chain,
In N Out. Their formula is
simple: Make it fresh, don't
offer too many items on the
menu, and keep the prices
affordable. As a result,
Huntington Beach longed for an
In N Out restaurant (offers
drive through) for years and
finally opened one back in 2004
on Beach Blvd. near Talbert Ave.
