が早いか (perhaps you have already looked it up) just means "the instant that", "as soon as", etc. だす when added to a verb stem indicates doing something in an "outward" direction or beginning an action. In this case it is the latter.

"As soon as (he/they/etc) got to the restaurant, (he/they/etc) began eating."
