The Crack Shack Kicks Off the New Year with Bold New Flavors
01.24.25
The Crack Shack is welcoming the new year with an exciting lineup of bold, flavor-packed offerings crafted with premium ingredients. Located on Costa Mesa’s vibrant East 17th Street—renowned as a foodie destination for its diverse and noteworthy restaurants—The Crack Shack continues to elevate the fast-casual dining experience with chef-driven creations designed for culinary adventurers. Even the humble chicken nugget gets a gourmet twist, with the 6-Piece Nugs made from fresh, free-range Jidori chicken, delivering fine dining precision in every bite.
This season’s special bowl, Downward Dog, now features a vibrant mix of maple-roasted yams, pine nut crumble, shaved Brussels and broccoli salad, charred onions, garlic confit tapenade, golden raisins, scallion vinaigrette, quinoa, and hummus. Also available for a limited time is Miami Vice, a Cubano-style sandwich with mojo-marinated chicken cutlet, tangy Dijon, bread & butter pickles, and Swiss cheese on pressed challah bread.
Joining the menu is Sunny ‘Daise, an all-day breakfast sandwich starring K’s chicken sausage, maple “hollandaise,” a sunny-side-up egg, and American cheese on an English muffin. Sweet treats are making a comeback, too, with the return of the Cookies & Cream Cookie and Triple C Shake, both made with Orange County-born Afters Ice Cream. Exclusive to The Crack Shack’s Costa Mesa location, guests can also indulge in the Cookie Monster Shake, another Afters Ice Cream-based delight.
Expanding its lineup of house-made sauces, The Crack Shack introduces Smoky Tang Butter—a smoky, buttery take on Carolina BBQ sauce with a touch of orange zest. This new sauce is perfect for dipping or as a “toss sauce” for nuggets, tenders, bone-in chicken, and chicken oysters.
The new menu items are available for dine-in, online ordering, delivery, and curbside pickup at The Crack Shack Costa Mesa. Guests can also enjoy craft cocktails and a selection of 28 SoCal beers on tap from the restaurant’s full bar. Plus, a Happy Hour runs from 2-5 p.m. Monday through Thursday, offering signature bites and sips at special prices.
More information, full menu, catering options and more can be found at CrackShack.com.
Open 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday to Thursday; 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
196 E 17th St. in Costa Mesa.
