Cabo Wabo Beach Club — Restaurant in Huntington Beach

Hello All,

I'm sharing my experience today about a recent experience I had that truly blew my socks off. Having been bit by boredom in these homely confines, I decided to take a bit of a break, clear my head, and what better way than to pay a visit to that sound of nature we all love - the beach!

Let me take this opportunity to introduce you to Cabo Wabo Beach Club. This is not just a hotel or restaurant, but a delightful blend of both. To say that it exceeded my expectations would be an understatement.

As someone who has had his fair share of travel experiences, I can confidently say that this location is the perfect spot for different sorts of folks. Whether you're looking for a charming escapade for a romantic date night, a picturesque backdrop for your vlogging endeavors as a YouTuber or even if you simply wish to indulge in a little taste of luxury, this place has it all.

If you don't believe me, allow my pictures to do the talking. The atmosphere is nothing short of stunning with teal waves crashing the sun-kissed shores, creating a symphony that not just pleases the ears but also tugs at one's heart.

But there’s more! This establishment is not only inviting for you but also your furry companions, making it pet-friendly and family-oriented. One of the many feathers in their cap is their prime location, strategically positioned just across the beach, so it's just a crosswalk away from setting foot on golden sands.

Although it resides in a luxurious neighborhood, you’ll be delighted to know that the prices for the food and drinks are surprisingly reasonable. The quality of their dishes took me on a culinary journey to remember and the drinks just were the icing on the cake.

I was so enchanted by my experience at Cabo Wabo, I find myself counting down the days until I booked a weekend in June to soak up more of this magical atmosphere. As someone with a background in management, I can truly appreciate their attention to detail and the memorable service they provide.

I felt I must share this slice of paradise in a rather heavy world. In a nutshell, if you haven’t been here, you’re...

The quality of this restaurant has fallen significantly from the days when it was called The Boardwalk.

The Boardwalk had a phenomenal, elevated menu, and attentive service. Cabo Wabo cannot be compared to The Boardwalk in the same breath.

The service is phenomenally slow — I had to wait 40 minutes for my $30 “gourmet” burger — before being brought a masterpiece that I would be embarrassed to serve to my enemies. Not only was this burger not gourmet, with cheap burger buns and low-quality ingredients, but the patty itself was cooked way past well done (when I requested medium).

I’ve stayed at this Hilton many times over the years and this restaurant is a true embarrassment to an otherwise great hotel.

To add insult to injury, Cabo Wabo is now the ONLY restaurant open for dinner at the Hilton between Monday and Wednesday, so there is nowhere else to go. I came back for dinner tonight to give it another shot, and let’s just say that I’m not shocked that the restaurant was empty during what should’ve been peak...

I stayed at the Hilton and had both breakfast and dinner at Cabo Wabo Beach Club.

It was a Sunday evening, and the restaurant was not busy. In fact there were only two other tables seated when we arrived. At one of those tables was Sammy Haggar, the owner of Cabo Wabo. I was pretty excited to see him there, I'm not the world's biggest Sammy or Van Halen fan but I know the impact he's made in Rock music and am definitely a fan. I asked the hostess if she could ask if we could get a photo with him. Her immediate reaction was "wow, I can't believe you recognized him."

We sat down and I noticed that our waiter was also waiting on Sammy. And so I made a joke asking if he was stressed waiting on the boss. He said he would see what he could do.

We ate our meal and Sammy finished his, and we did not get a photo with him. Pretty disappointed, I've eaten at a handful of celebrity owned restaurants and any time I've ran into the owner they were always spending time taking photos.

The food and service were pretty...
