Cute diner in a house with great service, cool vibe and amazing food…read more It is street parking only, we cane a Friday at 10:30 and had a slight wait and a small walk but all manageable. We started with the house Bloody Mary which had a crab claw and a kick. The micro greens were cute but not sure they had an impact on the flavor. Big hit and we loved them. Makes me want to try some other options from their cocktail menu. The must-try hyped-up French toast was worth the glory bestowed to it! We got the caramelized apples with brandy butter. Waiter said the berry or peaches are his 2 favorites but we had already narrowed down to apples or the banana Nutella. Of those 2 he said apples so we got it! Short story they are all made with fresh baguette stuffed with mascarpone cheese topped with your choice of fruit and sweet options and fresh whipped cream. I tend to lean more savory breakfast and my hubby likes the sweet so this isn't normally my jam.... But the cheese is a perfect complement to all the sweet and is something I would get again for sure, which says a lot. We got the cheeseburger scramble which was hearty and fillings. Ground beef, cheese, mushrooms and scrambled eggs, simple, easy and yummy. I personally like my eggs salty and needed to add some but my husband thought it was perfect. It was served with yummy whole small roasted potatoes that were crispy but still soft inside, perfectly seasoned IMO. Also a small slice of fresh baguette with butter (and jam on table) was a tasty plus. In fact that bread makes me want to go back for lunch to get a sandwich. All in all it is a new top spot on our list and can't wait to go back and try another cocktail, a new French toast flavor and maybe the crab cake and eggs that I saw walk by. Great find.

I passed by the diner hundreds of times as I live in the neighborhood. Today I decided to try it…read more It has that nice diner feel atmosphere. But that's pretty much all that impressed me. The service wasn't great because the servers or at least who looked to be the manager was very stressed out and projected that onto the customers. Which you never do. Service with a smile. Don't make the customer feel like they're an inconvenience to you. I ordered scrambled eggs it was about two eggs that were scrambled with some mushrooms and spinach. Came with a very small piece of French bread there was processed packaged butter on the side. we asked if they could just make a simple French toast and they said no, only the specialty types that they have on the menu. I didn't understand that? I mean if you are making a specialty type of French toast don't you have to begin with just regular French toast? I asked him if I could get a side of toast for my eggs and they said that they don't have toast only that French bread. What kind of diner doesn't have toast or the capabilities of making toast? It reminded me of a movie scene with Jack Nicholson. Honestly to spend $17 for two eggs a few potatoes a small piece of bread it's just not worth it.

1st timers today, and will def not be our last visit…read more Shout-out to the Yelp reviews lead us to this Amazing Smash burger joint. Our order: -Onion rings (the right batter to sliced onion ratio & delicious seasoning); -the french fries- crispy and the right amount of salt seasoning *dipped into their Jalapeno ranch, and you will be left smiling!* -the Works: What a burger! I love Portabello mushrooms, caramelized onions, and Persian cucumbers, so when I read that on the menu, I knew I had to order this, and I am not disappointed! This hit the spot. The smash patty topped with my favorites made for a perfect burger filling party. -the Don Chendo burger- the salsa Don Chendo on a jalapeño-Cheddar bun - culinary innovation at its finest! For non-spicy eaters like myself, you can eat this. This is definitely tolerable spice with a delicious flavor that overrules any "heat". The buttery, softness of the bun with the cheddar and jalapenos melted into it compliment the flavors of the patty, red onions and Chendo sauce. Having a burger is a rare craving for us, and thankfully our taste buds led us here this time that we did, because we were left, not only satisfied, but can safely say that this is one of the fewest Exceptional burgers we have tried thus far. Burgers are huge too! You def get more bang for your buck here. Staff was very welcoming, friendly and attentive toward us. We truly appreciated the warm greeting and them making sure we felt comfortable with their product deliveries coming in/out of the restaurant while we ate. Not too big & not too small of a place. Ample seating booths make for a comfy social occasion. We highly recommend to All! & will return again!

Sideburns is a true hidden gem in Long Beach; conveniently located right next to The Stache Bar…read more I originally came for the Vegan Breakfast Burrito; and it absolutely delivered. Refried beans; crispy tots; vegan cheese; avocado; mushrooms -- hearty; filling; and layered properly. But what really makes this burrito stand out are the house-made sauces. The salsa has the perfect heat; and their vegan dipping sauce elevates the entire experience. You can taste the intention. Now let's talk about the burger. The vegan burger is not an afterthought here. It's juicy; well-seasoned; and balanced. The texture is on point; the toppings are fresh; and it holds its structure without falling apart. You can tell they care about execution. Between the house-made sauces; the fusion flavor profile; and the consistency across both items; Sideburns earns its spot. If you're in Long Beach and want vegan comfort food done right; this is absolutely worth pulling up to.

You should definitely take the first few bites without syrup. They are moist and delicious by themselves or with just a little smear of butter. The other surprise was the house made sausage patty. The waitress recommended it when I upgraded to the combo and I tend to listen to the people that work there. They know what's up. That patty was the best sausage I have ever tasted. Tasted like it came right from the butcher then onto the grill and onto my plate. Fresh, fatty, salty and some unique spices inside it. Eggs were fluffy and my coffee got filled 3 times. The seating is limited so come early or try your luck with the wait. They do turn their tables over pretty fast though. Staff is quick. Highly recommend this spot.

My wife and I had an excellent Sunday brunch experience here. We sat in their shaded patio and…read morelistened to the duet jazz band sipping cocktails and eating delicious food. I started with a cup of their beef and barley soup. My wife and I both make this at home from scratch and we're both impressed by theirs. My wife took a taste of mine and instantly ordered her own. Very rich and flavorful. I kept looking at photos of their take on chicken and waffles and knew I had to try it. Seriously epic and was good as it looked. They coated the chicken in a chili rub that gave it a sweet and spicy flavor when paired with their maple syrup. Served on top of a waffle and topped with an egg. I loved it and would probably order again on my next visit. My wife had the American plate which was your classic eggs, bacon, potatoes, and sourdough toast combo. High quality ingredients elevated it beyond your typical diner food. Drinks were great too. I had their house made bloody mary which had a nice kick to it. My wife had their brunch version of a Corpse Reviver cocktail. After our meals were done we finished with an Irish coffee since everyone was ordering them. Perfect service, relaxing atmosphere, and delicious food will definitely have me returning very soon! Parking is free for 2 hours at the nearby garage on 3rd and is a very short walk. The closer garage on Broadway is not free. You can make restaurant reservations on their website but it wasn't needed when we went.

Their parking? Bleh. Their price point? Meh…read more Their pie crust? Oh hell yeah. Came in with a small group early on a Wednesday afternoon maybe an hour before closing, and most of the tables were still filled with diners. We were seated right away in the way way back of the restaurant. The layout and decor of the place gives it a classic, borderline kitschy vibe. You can tell it's a place that's managed to hold its own for like 60 years (!!!). The server was friendly, overall service was prompt, and the portions were solid. I got the quiche of the day, which was ham and cheese, and it was amazing. It came with a side (salad was fresh and crisp) and a muffin -- their raspberry streusel muffin was so delicious and a perfect dessert to tie the meal together. I would definitely get this special again, and look forward to trying their other versions of both quiches and muffins. Others at my table got strawberry pancakes, a pastrami sandwich, and chicken fried steak. All food was devoured, so I take it that it was good. However, I really think that the baked goods make this place. So if you go, don't skip out on those.

Throughout my…read morechildhood, teen years, and adulthood, Bake n Broil has been an easy go to breakfast/lunch place. We just finished our taxes down the street and decided to drop by for lunch. For 3 people we paid less than $60 (pre-tip) and experienced quality food, service, and value. All the staff was friendly and attentive. Food was delicious and actually met the expectations of my memories. We did wait a little bit for a table, but the vibe was neighborly and it was obvious a lot of regulars were in today. I had the 1/2 sandwich special, I chose roast beef on squaw, French onion soup and a slice of lemon lush pie. My husband had the pastrami sandwich and our friend had the Russian omelet. We can all recommend all our choices as there wasn't a bad bite to be had among us. Thanks for exceeding expectations, I'll be back for a cheese pocket and slice of sour cream pecan coffee cake. Nice to know my favorites are still offered

It was more like chicken soup, it had no real flavor at all. The chicken was also flavorless and dry. The broth was ok, but it needed more spice. I also got a corn muffin. It was not good. Very dry and the corn was hard and stale, unediable. I'll eat the muffin part because that's good. But I spit out the corn. The tortilla chips were also stale. Very underwhelming. But I know their breakfast is much better. I just don't recommend getting any muffins from the display case later in the day as these are old and not fresh anymore.

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!

Dogs: Allowed on the patio. No restrictions on them having to be under the table or otherwise hidden. We had the corner table at the front which my girl loved because she solicited pets from people through the little fence and had plenty of room to stretch out. Food: I ordered the Grand Prix omelet with super spuds and biscuit and gravy. Everything was hot and most of it was delicious. My only complaint was that I felt like the gravy has changed since my last visit. I used to love it but this time it was thinner, not as flavorful, and had an almost see-through quality to it. Not sure how to describe it, but I wouldn't order it again. The biscuit was good, though. My girl got scrambled eggs and bacon and they cut up the bacon, much appreciated!
