    Lighthouse burger
    Gwen C.

    Castaways was the highlight of our Long Beach visit. The decor inside is awesome - lots of very cool photos of Long Beach from the past - and the vibes are great. It's very centrally located on the main strip. We ended up sitting at the bar to avoid a wait for a table (the entire bar section is open seating) and the bartender was super friendly. I ordered a steelhead burger with garlic fries off the specials menu and my husband got the Lighthouse cheeseburger. The food came out super fast and was SO delicious. I'll be thinking about those garlic fries for a very long time. The food was hot, super fresh, and so tasty. I cannot wait to go back and try some more things off the menu!

    Seared tuna bowl

    We had a lovely first meal on the coast here. We were quite surprised because we just went here on a whim without much research. My husband a tasty bowl of chowder then fish tacos that were absolutely perfect. My seared tuna bowl was fresh and delicious. The ambience was a bit sporty but everyone was pleasant. Service was sufficient.

    Seared Ahi Cafe Salad

    I had a great dinner this evening, the Ahi Tuna Csfe Salad. The tuna slices were coated in sesame seeds and expertly seared. Beautiful! Gorgeous avocado, diced mango, cucumbers, greens and a sesame dressing. Yum! I got through half of it and will enjoy the rest tomorrow. Lovely server, checked in on us a couple of times, which is appreciated. My sweetie got the salmon and enjoyed it.

    Last visit was back in 2013, time for an update. Again, this was our first meal after arriving in Long Beach (6/16/25). Nice to see it thrive after our previous visit 12 years ago. We timed it well because both the bar and restaurant was full house during our onsite meal. We shared their clam chowder. Tasty. I opted for the Club Sandwich with garlic tots. Goodness such a generous entree. This took me three sittings to finish it. The Homie had the Captain's Plate which included cod, clam strips, oysters, and shrimp. All well battered, seafood remained tender, and perfectly executed. This came with sides like broccolini, sweet potatoes, and whipped garlic potatoes. I snagged some bites...wow, flavor packed! Our waitperson was very friendly, checked in on us, and kept us well hydrated. No room for dessert, but we patted our stomachs carrying our takeout boxes back to the car. Great bang for your culinary buck!

    Tons of fresh shrimp in the Shrimp Louie!! 10/10

    I love this place!!! If you like shrimp salad get it here!!! So here's the bad. Price may be an issue for some. I thought it was a decent value. Everything was really good and the service was great. Oyster shooters are a hard pass for me next time I go. Everything else.....9.6/10

    Halibut

    Michelin star quality food! Absolutely delicious and beautifully plated 10/10 recommend.

    The Castaway is a cozy spot that feels warm and inviting when you walk in. Miss Carly was our server and she took great care of us. Tasted their chowder also and it is absolutely delicious! Definitely worth a visit when you are in town.

    steamed clams
    Delora C.

    Stopped in on a Saturday during the lunch rush for a quick bite and were seated right away. Our server, Sydney, was fantastic! We were craving clam chowder and fried seafood, and this place delivered exactly what we were looking for. The modern beachy, coastal-town vibe was spot on, and the decor perfectly captured the charm of Long Beach. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town!

    This place would perfect to come for a date night. Food was delicious (with the exception of the seared ahi, not much flavor and wasn't a good eating experience as there was the stringy part of the ahi made it hard to cut/eat). The appetizers were great. My pasta dish was good however it was a little heavier than I expected. The way it was described on the menu it sounded like a lighter dish. Service was good, we had a large table and she was very attentive to us. Nice place to grab a bite in Long Beach.

    Fish & Chips in specials menu
    Patricia C.

    This is a lively busy place. Food was good, tasted fresh. The fries portions that accompanied the fish and the halibut sandwich were good, however the size of the sandwich and the 3 fish pieces were on the small size for the price. The fettuccine pesto with crab was very good, but the winner of the dinner was the award winning chowder. It was delicious. Again portions are on the small side. I'm aware that prices are a reflection of the inflation that is happening everywhere so I understand that they have to price their food accordingly. They have a menu outside the door so you can see their prices before going in. Service was great. Our waiter was very nice.

    The food is good, the prices are very high for what you get service is okay. I'd rather eat at home.

Worker's Tavern offers a full bar along with slot machines. There is an ATM on-site for those who need to take money out to gamble with. Indoors is small but has tables to seat large groups. In the back one will find an outdoor seating area with a dissimilar vibe than the tavern. During our visit, the kitchen staff was about 45 minutes late so we weren't able to order breakfast right away. Once the kitchen staff decided to show up, there were quite a few people ready to order their breakfast which caused disjointed and undercooked meal deliveries. Table service was not offered inside or outside. All transactions are done at the bar. The breakfast menu doesn't list pricing and when I asked about the prices, I was told they change regularly. Shady statement. While waiting for the kitchen staff I sipped on a Bloody Mary for $12 and my wife sipped on a Screwdriver for $6.50. The Bloody Mary seemed a bit overpriced to me. Two people in our group ordered the Chicken Fried Steak and it was still frozen on the inside when served. Worker's Tavern corrected the meals; however, I'm certain the meals were undercooked due to the pressure of the late kitchen staff and the hungry demands of the morning patrons. It is imperative that staff show up at their scheduled shift times. I wanted to try the Cheddar Fritters & Syrup but was told they were out of the item. My wife and I shared the Mushroom Swiss Omelet for $14 + $4.25 up-charge to add sausage to the omelet. We were both happy with our meal choice. Overall, Worker's Tavern has potential; however, that potential was severely during our visit.

The only suggestion I have is that the location doesn't feel like a pub. The large windows are not covered, and you feel like you're in a fish bowl. Curtains, blinds, or window darkening options.
