I logged in today to leave a review and realized i already had. But I was given the option to…read moreupdate my review so I am adding more images of our last meals here and reinforcing whatever i said previously. my partner and i have become somewhat regulars here since moving in. the staff is always a delight and service is speedy even on the busiest days - just be mindful during rushes that it's a small team and not a mcdonald's (patience!). the ambiance is always worth the walk over and gives us a great start to our day!

My son moved a few blocks down from here and we decided to give it a try…read more Very glad we did! The diner is so cute. Looks like should be in the south somewhere. like Charleston, SC. 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.

I first ate here in the 80's. It is diner food done well. I ate breakfast here recently after my…read moreson's Long Beach State graduation. It is still a great place to grab a bite. I like this location in particular for Hof's Hut. I now live in Torrance, and like eating here over the Torrance location. I had not been back here for over 20 years. I am glad I was able to revisit Hof's at its best.

Their food has become just above acceptable. It's not stellar anymore…read more All these rave reviews are people who have a life long history and are reliving their past. My wife likes their turkey dinner, I like their chicken pot pie ... there's your recommendations. But Hof's Hut isn't capable of serving ripe fruit any longer, and they don't care. I know they don't care because I have complained several times, and nothing gets done. Nothing changes. I have asked friends if they had the fruit and they laugh and say, "raw". Their cantaloupe is alway crispy-raw. It's a 50/50 chance with the melon. Their cooks should be ashamed of themselves for serving it. More over management should be embarrassed that they aren't checking the quality of what is being served. Yes, I am upset about this. This has been going on for almost two years since I first complained. Does it matter? Only in that makes me question if they can't handles something as simple as fruit being ripe, what else is being ignored or over looked in the that kitchen?

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

I had been to this bar a few years ago for their Christmas holiday pop up and had a great time so I…read morewas happy to see there was a Halloween pop up and brought a friend along. Five stars for atmosphere except the fact that they kept the front door open, which let the heat in and, since it was during the day, let daylight in, which kind of destroyed the mood. We tried to change our seat but they have a strange strict policy about not moving tables and specifically assigning certain tables to certain parties. And because this is a popular pop up, there weren't any open seats at the bar which is very immersive and very heavily decorated. We didn't have the best experience with the server that we asked about switching our table, but fortunately that was not our server and we were glad to be at our table because we absolutely loved our server, Cindy. She had great energy and was very responsive to our questions and needs. It was a delight every time she came to our table. And we loved that she and the other servers were dressed up in costume for Halloween even though it was the beginning of October. Every cocktail is themed and comes in its own themed glassware, although you're not allowed to switch up which drink is in which glass. I enjoyed the Tangled Web cocktail in the spider web coupe and the Liquid Lobotomy Tiki style cocktail in the creepy doll head mug. There weren't a lot of gluten-free options for lunch, so I got the Caesar salad without croutons and added salmon. The salad was fine but the salmon was overcooked (I asked for medium rare and it was medium or a bit more than that). But good to have something in my stomach for those cocktails.

Such a beautiful morning breakfast date with my husband!…read more The service was friendly and welcoming, and the dining room has such a warm, inviting atmosphere. 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!

I got my daughter's birthday cake from here 2 months ago. They were very friendly and helpful over…read morethe phone in helping me determine what size cake I needed for my party size. 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!

Another great dinner at Heritage Family Pantry! Still.pur favorite breakfast spot but hot summer…read moreevenings, nice to.come for dinner. My husband ordered his favorite breakfast for dinner (Two Eggs and Bacon) and I ordered the Country Fried Steak. The Country Fried Steak came with soup or salad (I ordered Chicken Tortilla Soup, two sides, I ordered mashed Potaoes and Cream Corn. It include a muffin or biscuit, I ordered a Banana Muffin. We also ordered a slice of Peach Pie to go. Their baked goods are in house made and delicious. My dinner was great and half came home, as usual very generous portions! I really liked their Country gravy! Of course my husband loved his breakfast! Our server was Kately. Friendly and helpful. Setvice as always excellent!

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!

It has a view of the streets of Downtown Long Beach going east and west and north and south. It's cool for people watching and just seeing the Hustle and bustle of the Downtown area. The food, I had the ribs that came with Mac and cheese , mash potatoes, and corn. The ribs were very tender a little fatty but not bad. The Mac and cheese was the star of the show very cheesy and the noodles were tender, it had a good flavor to it also. My wife had the steak salad. The steak was cooked perfectly and was very tender. The salad wasn't up to par so we had to ask for some mixed greens to and sliced carrots to add to it . It was pretty much just iceberg, lettuce, sliced cucumbers, sliced red onions, and sliced avocado. I originally ordered the side salad that came with mixed greens, sliced red onions, and sliced carrots. My Wife thought her salad would look like that one since it didn't so we made it look like that by adding an additional size salad mixing it with her steak salad so it worked out overall it's worth a try when I go out of my way to come back maybe not but would I come back if I'm in the neighborhood probably so. The service is good. The service were very attentive and the food came out pretty fast as well.

Stopped by while visiting our adult son in SoCal. My son ordered a Mondo Burrito, which as the…read moreBIGGEST burrito I've ever seen. 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. To top it off, they even offer Boysenberry syrup, which is very reminiscent of my childhood. Tina was our waitress. 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.

Definitely come hungry!
