Wing It to PB: Crack Shack’s Coastal Coop Opens in August

Brought to life by the original dream team behind nationally-acclaimed Juniper & Ivy, the Crack Shack was hatched in November 2015 with the goal of bringing quality ingredients and a high-end culinary focus to a fast-casual, outdoor setting.

The Crack Shack has consistently delivered on their mission to source the highest-quality nonGMO Jidori chicken and bring locally available ingredients into its kitchens and onto people’s plates, building a devoted following of hungry customers looking for tasty comfort food they can trust.

Their menu is filled with high-end but low-key culinary creations from the mind of founding Executive Chef and Culinary Director Jon Sloan.

The Crack Shack Pacific Beach

This summer, The Crack Shack will expand into another iconic San Diego neighborhood with the opening of their fifth location in Pacific Beach.

Pacific Beach restaurants

Known for creating laidback and welcoming dining experiences, the PB “coop” will offer many of the same features that have helped to redefine the local concept of family-friendly dining at their other locations.

Lawn games, a large-format video wall, and a thoughtful menu provide a fun, social setting where all ages and backgrounds can gather.

The menu at the new Pacific Beach location will be similar to other outposts with rotating specials and location-specific promotions. You can expect the same iconic crispy chicken, mouthwatering signature sandwiches, hearty salads, and grain bowls, as well as luxury milkshakes and fresh-baked cookies.

See you there!

The Crack Shack Pacific Beach is set to open in late August at 4525 Mission Blvd.

See you there, San Diego!
