This place was great. None of us are familiar with Long Beach area but were going to the playhouse for the first time. I found this place and it was not a disappointment. It was perfect for a before show meal. I got turkey pesto sandwich. I told the people I was with it tasty "healthy" lol but not in a bad way my fat self is just used to cheese and all that other stuff but it was still a good sandwich. My partner got American Burger which enjoyed very much. I tasted a piece and said mmm smoky. Oh how could I forget the delicious beef empanada. I ate it before I even took a picture! It was so good and that chimichurri sauce was so unique. I have never had a thick and creamy chimichurri and it was delicious. His bff got a fish plate which was enjoyed. Finally we each got lemonade. That homemade lavendar hisbiscus *chefs kiss* The customer service was top notch. Wish I would have gotten his name but he was awesome. He asked when we wanted our cookies and said he would bring them. When he did bring them they were warm and so so good. Soft and gooey with slightly crisper edges just delicious. Whenever we end up in LB again I would definitely return. read more

FOOD: I had the Bushfire burger and my friend had the Gaucho steak sandwich. We got a side of brussels sprouts. They were perfectly roasted with a tasty balsamic vinaigrette. The sandwiches were good as well and I like the fact that they are not gigantic. I had a glass of their Bushfire IPA and it was very good. SERVICE: Jill took our order at the counter and brought the food to our table as well. She was pleasant and professional.Esmeralda, the manager was also very nice. AMBIENCE: clean spacious restaurant. There's patio dining as well. read more

Stopped by Bushfire Kitchen after using the car wash in the next plaza over. Purchased their gaucho steak sandwich ($15), fries ($5), beef empanada ($5), and soda ($4). The beef empanada had a nice crispy crust, but, per my preferences, it was very lightly seasoned and it was served with their "house made chimichurri", which was more an herby aioli. The fries were my favorite item in the meal as they were crispy and perfectly seasoned. The steak sandwich was served on nice ciabatta bread with tons of their "chimichurri"; however, the tri tip was too tough, lightly marbled, and too lightly seasoned. There was a thin slice of tomato and a very small amount of grilled onion. Overall, I came for the steak sandwich, but I wanted more balance to the lean tritip with more acidity (which one would normally get with a properly acidic chimichurri) and fresh vegetables (onion/tomato/peppers), which would have made a huge difference. If their entrees came with a small side, then I would have maybe perceived better value. read more

I attended a holiday party here and had a great time. The restaurant has an outdoor patio which you can reserve and was a great location for our party. Everyone was able to order independently, so there was no need for splitting checks after, and they let us bring in our own desserts. The staff were outstanding - incredibly welcoming of our group, helpful when ordering, and came through regularly to check on us, take orders for more drinks, and ensure everyone was happy. I ordered the chicken curry bowl with mashed potatoes and butternut squash. It was good (and enough to take leftovers home) but could have used more veggies. I'm not sure if you can add multiple toppings, but I think with the mixed veggies as well as squash this would have been great. They have beer, wine, soft drinks, and freshly brewed iced tea. read more

Stopped here based off a co worker's recommendation! We were greeted by Esmeralda who had wonderful energy and made us feel so welcome. It was very clean inside and they even had outside seating too. It was a bit too hot so my fiancée and I took advantage of the cool A/C while waiting for our togo order haha. My Fiancée ordered the Miso Salmon Crunch Bowl and I ordered the Surf & Turf Plate with a side of the Miso Broccoli and Umami Fries. We love empanadas so we had to get the Trio too with their Chimichurri (101/10) Everything was Fresh and Flavorful. Definitely going to be back to try the entire menu read more

Came for lunch on a Friday at 2pm. Not very busy. Food came out quickly. Service was great. Had no issues. Thai bowl was good. Chimichurri tri tip was also good but could have used more flavor for the meat itself. Had no issues and everything seemed fresh. Would recommend for a healthier meal. read more

My first time here and it was very good. Great options for anyone looking to eat healthier with lots of flavor! If you have dietary restrictions there are many options as well. Lulu our server was so sweet. We ordered our food at the counter, they gave us a number then brought us our food when it was ready. We sat outside on the patio since it was a warm day. I had a bowl with brown rice, fresh kale, grilled chicken, beets, roasted broccoli with lemon tahini dressing. It was delicious and very filling. The kiddos got chicken strips & fries. My friend got a greek salad with grilled chicken and her hubby got the Peri Peri Chicken Plate. We were all very happy with our food. There is plenty of seating inside and outside on the patio (which is covered to keep the sun off your head). It's very clean inside as well. *Parking in the lot is plentiful ~ and that's all I have to say about that ~ read more

Our boss treated us to lunch at work and had bushfire kitchen delivered to us! I ordered the chicken and beef empanadas, a side of chimichurri sauce and Greek salad. The empanadas on the outside had a nice crunch and inside were very flavorful. The greek salad was a salad lol the dressing had a stronger vinegar taste. It wasn't my favorite and wouldn't order that again. I wanted the lavender lemonade but they didn't have it at the time but the house lemonade was a good substitute! read more

Five stars for the veggie burger. Great flavor. Loved the veggies were thinly sliced. Pickled onions, dressing and arugula were tasty additions. Tomato and avocado were actually good quality. So basic but so disappointing when they aren't on a burger/sandwich. AND it wasn't messy to eat with all the ingredients! Another basic pleasure I don't take for granted is when you can enjoy a bite with all the ingredients in tact and doesn't fall all over the place. This was a to go order. No other customers when I went in but looks like good seating for groups of four inside. Maybe more outside with tables put together. Seemed clean inside. Order came out quick. Price was reasonable. read more

My wife and I were out doing errands and had wanted to give Bushfire a try. Overall, we were both very satisfied with our burgers. She got a veggie burger, and I had their El Fuego burger. Cooked medium perfectly, mine also had peppers and a pepper aioli that gave it a little kick. We were both scouting it out too as a potential after work spot for her book club or for happy hour with coworkers. The menu and drinks are perfectly fine, but the indoor seating makes it tough for parties of 6-8 people. There's an outdoor patio which would be better when it's warmer. read more

Great service and amazing food everyone o come here. So many gluten free options too!

I wanna start out by saying the food is always really good and this is the first time I've had a bad experience. I walked in went to look if my food was at the pick up section because I had gotten a notification that it was done. There was nothing there, and then when I went to the registers, multiple people just looked at me and didn't acknowledge me at all. I will say they did look a little bit busy but at the same time you can at least let me know. Hey I'll be right with you and then mind you gave me the wrong food because he didn't speak with his chest and I didn't hear what name he said so I just said salmon and bowl and he said Yes. Hopefully this place doesn't start going downhill cause that was my first bad experience but just cause you're busy doesn't mean you don't have to acknowledge your customers even if it's to tell them to give you a second. read more

Disappointed. Expected better from pics and high rating but poor execution on reheated food will mark this my first and last visit to any of their locations. Overcooked chicken is a no-no anywhere. But a place that came up on my search as a gastropub? Yikes! Even worse, it wasn't even fresh! If they had overcooked my chicken fresh, it would've been hot. But this was pre-overcooked then heated up to lukewarm before being given to me. I believe that is the case because the alternative is worse. Sad. Quick aside: maybe they cooked my chicken fresh and over cooked it then still served it to me lukewarm. It's possible. That would be just as disturbing, I just went with my gut reaction above. Bbq sauce was cheap but tangy - maybe to cover up inability to properly cook chicken? By "cheap", you can taste the quality of the ingredients easily and tell it's just so-so sauce but it helped me get through the chewy chicken so I'll give it a pass The squash was good - nice temp, softness and flavor. Mixed veggies looked like they came out of a bag and were not hot plus had inconsistent crunchiness to individual veggies that made me wonder what that mess was so I left it alone after a quick bite. The bread was fine but definitely unremarkable. And then the bar fly that wouldn't leave me alone - I'm at a table far from the bar where you see these critters most often (hence the name) so seeing one at my table makes me believe they don't clean well. Sad there was only counter service - I felt the website led me to believe there was bar seating but whatever. The tables were fine, bar fly not fine, numbered signs should be replaced - they are worn out and made improperly to hold up to regular use. My server, Michael, was a delight - he didn't know much about the beer but he was polite, seemed to genuinely care, and very friendly. If you do visit, I hope you get to experience him and his easy smile - he was the best part of my visit! I won't be back but at least I tried :) read more

I'm a neighbor and I've been looking forward to eating here. I'd been getting advertisements on Instagram. They were advertising lower priced chefs specials for $12.99. When I got there I did see an impressive menu, but none of the advertised specials. I ordered the fuego burger and Mac n cheese. One little hair in the Mac and cheese kinda ruined it for me. The hard Kampuchea was good. $35 later 7 out of 10. read more

This is seriously the best food ever! My fiancé and I were passing by on our way to the Yard House, but so hungry that we just stopped here to give them a try. We almost went to the Habit who I think shares their parking lot, but I'm so glad I told my fiancé to try this place since we had never heard of it. The young lady cashier (Taija) in the front was really sweet. She welcomed us in with a kind, gentle voice that reminds you of a caring nurse or teacher. She told us to let her know if we had any questions. I told her it was our first time here so she pointed out how there were rectangles on the menu that were favorite items. I am gluten-free and was excited to see they have gluten-free buns. I ordered their American burger (a favorite item) with a gluten-free bun and no cheese. I also got sweet potato fries on the side and a fountain drink (iced tea). She offered to put ketchup and some fancy sauce they have on the side for my fries and I just opted for the fancy sauce (cannot recall name but it was mayo based). My fiancé got the tri-tip sandwich, fries and a drink too. Right when I tried their iced tea I told my fiancé he just had to try it. He did and we agreed it was really exceptional! It tasted like some higher quality tea that you'd expect at tea houses. Plus they had stevia, which is my sweetener of choice. The restaurant was clean and we got our food fast. I could not believe how good the sweet potato fries were and the meat on my burger. I made my fiancé tried both then proclaimed they were the best I ever had. He agreed with me especially in the meat. I don't know what they put in it but, they are doing a perfect job in the kitchen. Couldn't be better! We live like an hour away but my fiancé and I want to come back here when we go to the beach hopefully soon. We are so glad we came here instead of going to the Yard House. Their food is just so much better! And all their employees are quite nice. Whoever is training them on customer service skills is doing a stellar job. It seems they have a lot of regulars coming here and I wish we could be regulars too. Also, this is random but they had a great selection of music playing too! Some of my favorites! read more

Bushfire Kitchen - Long Beach - American Burger no cheese on gluten free bun with sweet potato fries - American Near Me - Long Beach, California

Ordered online to go and it was ready in 15 minutes. Surprisingly fast considering when I arrived, over half the restaurant was full. Great service and well packed for transport. Curry chicken bowl - wow, portion size was good enough for two solid meals. Well balanced portions of chicken, veg, and rice. Favors were solid and blended. Nothing was overcooked and the chicken was shredded breast meat. Mac and cheese - good cheese sauce but the noodles are too think. They should reconsider the choice for better sauce to starch ratio. Salad and BLT: nothing amazing but exactly what you'd expect. Solid choices and flavors reflect the menu items descriptions. Too much mayo on the BLT for my wife but I enjoyed it as is. Best item we ordered. read more

This might be one of my new favorite spots! Can't believe I didn't know about it before, chill and great vibes! The menu has a lot of variety, and everything we tried was solid. I had the California Burger, Gaucho Steak Sandwich, Peri Peri Chicken Plate, and a salmon teriyaki bowl. The food was flavorful without feeling heavy, and the portions were filling. The garlic mashed potatoes and roasted Brussels sprouts were really good, and the burger must have been good because my husband demolished it. Drinks-wise, they have Stubborn Soda, house-made iced tea, and beer on tap. Service was friendly and the food came out quickly. Overall, a reliable spot with something for everyone. Would come back, if not to this location another one! read more

New restaurant in the updated Sprouts shopping center by the Traffic Circle. Part of a small chain that gets great reviews. It's located behind The Habit, on the Ximeno side. Plenty of parking. You order at the counter and then your food is brought to your table. Drinks are self-served. They also offer beer and wine. Food is served on plates with flatware for utensils, nice touch. They offer a Happy Hour (half-priced beers) 7-days a week along with some food items. Service was excellent at the counter, the servers bringing out the food, and several checking on us during dining. For food, we ordered one items off the Happy Hour menu, Garlic Parm Fries, excellent, a bit pricey $10 but a very generous serving! We ordered the California Burger and BBQ Tri-tip Sandwich to go with the fries. The burger and sandwich were okay, not amazing. There are so many hot sandwiches and burgers on the menu, but honestly I think the bowls, salads, and plates may be a better way to go, especially with some of their sides (i.e. Grandma's Mac & Cheese). The sandwich and burger was served on a huge plate but without any sides. The price for each $14 plus) seem a bit high without a side, but generous portions. We ordered a Blueberry Empanada for dessert. Very tasty. Definitely plan to order empanadas on our next visit. Plenty of seating inside and a very large outdoor patio. Nice to have another option for "quick" dining near the Traffic Circle. read more

I've seen this spot form up in recent months, and today we decided to check it out. It's a nice clean place with comfortable chairs and plenty of space between tables. It's an order at the counter kind of place so you'll get a number and utensils after you order. You walk in and get a look at what they have on tap. Right above that is the menu, and I already knew what I was getting. Especially with the right kind of beer. My partner had the gaucho steak sandwich with chimichurri that she said made it better. I had the American burger with fries and it was pretty good. The burger originally comes solo, so that you can choose something other than fries. I decided to get their roasted mixed veggies and they were good but need a little more seasoning in my opinion. I'll definitely go back to try more stuff. I saw someone with the Mac n cheese and it looked good. read more

So grateful I discovered this little spot! I've only had a couple of items, but the food is fresh and tasty and I particularly appreciate the outdoor seating. I don't entirely love ordering at the counter - frankly, it sort of belies how good the food actually is - but it's effecient enough and they do bring it to the table. My favorite menu item is the salmon bowl, hands down, especially on a bed of delicious garlic mashed! I'm never one to order desserts, least of all cookies, but the first time I was there, my friend ordered a cookie, gave me a bite, and now their cookies are just part of my standard order. :) read more

We came at an odd time - 3:30 - on Mother's Day and there were only a handful of people there. The menu variety was incredibly tempting making it so hard to make a decision.

Had this place bookmarked ever since it opened here and went to try this out for the first time. I ended up getting the tri-tip plate with garlic mashed potatoes and mac n cheese as my sides. Honestly it's alright, the tri tip with the chimichurri sauce was pretty good and very tender. Meanwhile the mashed potatoes were just mediocre overall and with butter makes it slightly better. The mac n cheese was mediocre too at best. The bread they provided with the plate was amazing thought. The service was good and we got our food pretty quick and it wasn't busy for it being a holiday afternoon. read more

Had a good experience. The food was fresh and delicious. The American chimichurri was nice (not Argentinian para nada, jajaja). My husband tried the "gaucho" sandwich and I had the American burger.

The food was fine but unmemorable and on the pricey side for what you get (around 50$ for two bowls, one salmon, one flounder). And I'm sure I checked "brown rice" on my order, yet the fish was on a bed of broccoli. A manager did reach out with a peace offering, which was nice, but a 5$ credit won't be enough to entice me to try them again. Plus, they don't have a whole lot for pescatarians. I suspect if you eat meat/chicken, you might have better luck. read more

First time visit, great spot for something quick and tasty! I had the Strawberry Spinach salad. The portion size was filling, the dressing was good. Overall a tasty salad!
