The 14 Best Restaurants In Newport Beach - Los Angeles - The Infatuation
"No, not that Shake Shack. Crystal Cove Shake Shack was around decades before the NYC chain existed, which makes this tiny yellow burger hut the true original. Perched on a cliff overlooking the surf, this essential PCH pitstop always has a cramped parking lot and a line of cars inching through it, so expect a wait no matter what time you go. The menu is straightforward with burgers, fries, and a little fried seafood. The deluxe burger is a solid double cheeseburger, but the real reason to stop (besides the view) is their decadent milkshakes that are so thick you have to let them melt before using a straw. Dip your fries in them, too—it’s kind of an unwritten rule here." - cathy park
