Snackville at Pacific Park is the new food area with reimagined culinary concepts by Michelin-Star Chef James Kent, and it introduces five dining options to the world-famous Santa Monica Pier boardwalk.
While Smashie's Burgers is the place to go for smash burgers, hot dogs and fries, Mr. Nice Fry serves up every kind of fry available, from Skinny Dippers and Swirly Fries to Tater Wheels.
Guests of all ages who are looking for a taste of something sweet will gravitate to Churrita Churro, which upgrades a classic fried dough treat with sprinkled, dipped and filled varieties. Alternatively, other sweet options include hand-scooped ice cream at Scoops Creamery or signature funnel cake from Cosmic Funnel Cake.
