Cute vibes. Check the chalkboard for specials and special offerings. The coffee special that day was incredibly delicious. We got the two lunch specials. The sandwich French bread was soft inside & crunchy outside. Just the way I like it. Service was good. Staff was friendly. I also got the Citron Press beverage. Fantastic! Very light & refreshing. Like a lemonade but not sugary. Just enough sweetness. We are both super psyched that he lives close to such a great place to eat. Will be back to try the stuffed French toast!

We came all the way from Santa Clarita and we're not disappointed. Past all the namebrand places by the aquarium and came here and we're not disappointed. I had the work burger, which has fried portobello mushrooms. Others in our group had grilled cheese and poutine burger, and Italian burger and the hotdog and the breakfast burritos. No one was disappointed actually, we were surprisingly pleased with our selections. Sleeper items are the fried cheese curds by themselves. Make sure you get these. Also the onion rings are batter dipped. And beyond delicious! Only bummer is the drinks are cans, so if you need more than one drink, be prepared to pay for each can. The food was super delicious!!

We stopped by here because it was late and they were still open. Another reason I wanted to try it…read morewas because they served poutine, and I'm always on the lookout for places that offer it. It was really loud during our visit. I'm not sure if it's always that lively on Friday nights, but it was the weekend of Warped Tour, so there was a lot of music and energy. If you're looking for a quieter meal, this may not be the best night to visit. The food itself was good, but the wait was much longer than expected. We waited almost 40 minutes for our order. Unfortunately, my burger was also made incorrectly. I ordered the Bacon Bleu Burger but was served a different burger instead. Not quite sure what it was, but it had mushrooms and American cheese. Since we had already waited so long, I decided to just eat it rather than send it back. The burgers were flavorful, but they were smaller than I expected for the price, and they don't come with fries. To round out my meal, I ordered the poutine fries. They were decent. The fries were nice and crispy, which I appreciated. My husband ordered the Burger Don Chendo, and that ended up being the standout of the night. I usually don't like spicy food, but this burger had just the right amount of heat without being overwhelming. Overall, the food was enjoyable, but between the long wait, the incorrect order, and the portion size for the price, the experience was a bit hit-or-miss. I'd be willing to give them another try, especially for the Don Chendo burger, but I'm hoping for a smoother experience next time.

Take a peek at the menu and see their great selections. We had the turkey club, French toast with scrambled eggs and bacon as well as the granola pancakes (huge!) with over hard eggs and crispy bacon. The coffee was decent. Next time in Long Beach we will definitely visit again. All of the food was fresh and really good. BTW, you can order only one granola pancake if you want

Dear Team at The Ordinarie Tavern,…read more The Ordinarie has officially become one of our favorite places! We love it so much that we cannot wait to bring more of our friends and family. During our visit, we wanted to try everything on the menu. The presentation was very nice, the food and the cocktails was delicious, the portions were just right and the prices were reasonable. Booking a reservation was super easy. I reserved a patio table for 6 guests at 6:30pm on a Friday night in the middle of summer! I was easily able to modify it and received text verification of my reservation. I didn't pay a dime to use the online booking system. The ambiance was very nice, semi private and the weather was perfect However, the best part of our evening was our server, Isabella. She was incredibly welcoming, attentive, animated, and knowledgeable. She truly made our night! With much gratitude, Brenda

We've been here a few times, and I've always liked it. They do an awesome Christmas pop up, and I'm…read moresad to say that we'll miss the Halloween pop up this year. But I'll be answer this place is really interesting with so many vintage pictures and paintings and photos on the wall that you hardly see the wall at all. It feels very British. There's a really pretty bar with colored backlighting, and a nice patio for outdoor seating. There was a band playing, and wow! They were really good! All of their covers were on point! The kind of fell flat on the food for me tonight. I did not taste the burger that my husband ordered so I can't speak for that. But I did try the Ordinarie Fries, which the menu said were covered in beef gravy, green chili cheese sauce, and cheese. It sounded really delicious and interesting so we ordered that as an appetizer. It was quite a let down. It wasn't really smothered, so you pretty much didn't have any toppings on the fries below. The beef gravy was good, but I didn't ever get a taste of green chili and that bummed me out. I would not order these again. I ordered the wedge salad and add it on salmon. The wedge salad was pretty basic. There was very little bacon on it and way too much blue cheese. In fact, I ended up leaving a huge amount of blue cheese on my plate. The salmon was quite small and super salty. Overall I was not happy at all with the food here, although I will say I've had good food here before. Also, my husband and son thought their food was pretty good. I would come back, but order something different. And absolutely come back for their pop-ups which are amazing!

There wasn't a line when we arrived, so we were seated right away, and our food came straight from the kitchen fast and fresh. My latte was honestly one of the best I've had! The salsa tasted fresh with just the right amount of kick, and the muffins are always amazing, definitely a favorite. Great food, wonderful service, and a welcoming atmosphere. We'll definitely be back!

We opted for the red velvet cake. They have so many options for cakes and cupcakes though. Although they don't decorate cakes, it was beautiful and delicious. The restaurant itself is also nice. I have gone in a couple of times for lunch and breakfast. It can get quite full though, so be prepared for that. Parking can also be a bit rough since there isn't a parking lot. However, I think on certain days, you can park in the lot across the street (pay attention to signage). I'll have to return to eat soon and do a proper review of the restaurant.

This is a review for my experience dining at Heritage Family Pantry…read more Words to describe Heritage Family Pantry: diner, feel good comfort food, quality service, fun and casual dining Hours of operation: Open daily 6:00am-10:00pm Food: Great breakfast entrees and generous portions for brunch. It has your sweet pancakes and French toast from the griddle, as well as savory delights. Breakfast is also served all day! :) They specialize in pastries, such as bread and muffins that are made fresh daily! You can smell the sweetness in the air when you walk in. What caught my eye on their menu was the Mexican favorites dishes, I ordered the Menudo and it was delicious! I loved the warm, flavorful stew with the tripe, hominy, and meat. I also appreciated that it was cut in small pieces so each bite had all of the essentials on my spoon! So yummy! Service: All of the staff were friendly and our orders came out perfectly. All in all I enjoyed dinner at Heritage Family Pantry! I can't wait for my next visit!

While visiting family in Long Beach, we were on the hunt for a steakhouse for a Sunday lunch and…read morecame across The Carvery. What we didn't expect, but absolutely loved, was their R&B brunch experience. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was lively, fun, and full of energy. The music completely elevated the atmosphere. The DJ not only had an incredible voice but truly knew how to engage and hype up the crowd, making the whole experience feel like more than just a meal. The location itself is beautiful with trendy and upscale decor. Very picturesque. As for the food, I ordered the Maui French toast, and it was phenomenal. It is not your typical French toast--it had a crispy churro crust and this unique whipped cream, the flavor and presentation really stood out. Sweet, rich, and perfectly prepared, it's something I've never had before and would absolutely order again. Overall, this was such a pleasant surprise. Great food, great music, great service, and a good vibey brunch experience. I have another trip to Long Beach in June and will be back to enjoy it again. Definitely worth checking out if you are in the area!

Very disappointing experience. We ordered the steak, and it was incredibly dry, while the mashed…read morepotatoes tasted like frozen mashed potatoes you would buy from Walmart. The food was so bad that we barely ate any of it. When we brought this to the manager's attention, instead of addressing the poor quality of the food, she immediately told us we still had to pay for it. At first, she only offered 10% off and a slice of birthday cake, which was honestly insulting considering we couldn't even eat the meal. What made the experience even worse was that she tried to justify the poor quality by saying we came in late and that the food isn't the same at that time. That's simply not an acceptable excuse. If a restaurant is open and serving customers, the quality of the food should be consistent no matter what time you walk in. After going back and forth, she eventually increased the discount to 50%, but still refused to remove the meal from the bill, even though we barely touched it because it was inedible. We weren't looking for a free meal--we just expected food that matched the quality a restaurant should serve and customer service that takes legitimate concerns seriously. Unfortunately, this experience fell far below those expectations, and I won't be returning.

The staff are prompt to serve and friendly. The restaurant has a definite old school cafe vibe, with vinyl booths and a counter. Large windows provide great natural light. It is quite spacious.

I would seriously recommend noise dampening efforts.

He could only eat 75% of it, which is very rare, as he never has left overs. I had the Blueberry French toast which was perfectly cooked and had the freshest blueberries ever.

She was one of the friendliest, kindest and most attentive waitresses I've ever encountered. The world would be a much better place if all waitresses/waiters were like her. The ambiance is very cute, like an OG diner. I cannot wait to return, the next time I'm in Long Beach.
