Who Needs a Bun When You Can Have This at Shockwave Food on the Santa Cruz Wharf

Who needs buns when you can just have grilled cheese on the top and bottom of a bacon cheeseburger.

Shockwave Food has been making insane burgers on the Santa Cruz Wharf since 2018 with in house and fresh ingredients every single time. And the Big Daddy is their latest statement.


The Big Daddy

Two grilled cheeses made from Texas toast. That is your bun situation.

Inside you get a half pound patty, tomatoes, pickles, burger sauce, a fried egg, bacon made in house, and a Swiss cheese skirt.

The in house bacon is what puts this over the top. Everything here is made fresh and you can taste it. This is not a burger you eat standing up. Come hungry and take your time with it.


Where to Find It

Shockwave is parked at Humble Sea Beer Garden on the Santa Cruz Wharf through November 1st. Views of the bay, craft beer steps away, and one of the most creative burgers in Santa Cruz right in front of you.

Get there before the season wraps up.

📍 Shockwave Food | 45 Municipal Wharf, Santa Cruz, CA 95060

Thursday: 3pm to 7pm Friday through Sunday: 12pm to 7pm
