Stopped by after a few errands at LBX and loved my experience! Attentive staff, quick turnaround on food and great eats! SOUTHERN SALMON -The honey bourbon glaze is perfect -Sop it up with a side of seasonal veggies as there's a nice layer on the plate -Salmon was perfectly seared and juicy within It's more fast-casual than a traditional restaurant, with a tidy and simple interior. I'll definitely be trying other dishes in the future! read more

1/2 -- Clean and Friendly Service, but the Food Fell Flat Georgia's Restaurant - Long Beach 4101 McGowen St., Suite 155, Long Beach, CA 90808 Visited: September 10, 2026 This was my first visit to Georgia's Restaurant. The restaurant was clean and the service was friendly and attentive, but unfortunately, for the most part, the food fell flat. I originally wanted to try the shrimp po'boy, but I asked if I could have regular mayonnaise instead of the garlic mayo they serve with it. I was surprised when I was told they didn't have plain mayo, so I decided to go with something else. I ordered the fried okra ($11.90), which I didn't enjoy. It was very heavily breaded and overcooked. We also tried the fried chicken ($18.95) with mac & cheese and mashed potatoes, and unfortunately the chicken was another miss for me. My guest did enjoy the steak salad ($17.95) with grilled tri-tip, so that was better received. One definite standout was the complimentary cornbread they brought to the table. It was excellent and easily my favorite thing I tried. Our subtotal was $50.75, with $5.32 tax, bringing the total to $56.07 before tip. I'm sure Georgia's has plenty of loyal customers, as it has been around for a while, and the clean restaurant and attentive service were positives. Unfortunately, the food just wasn't to my taste, and based on this visit, I don't see myself returning. read more

Ended up ordering way more than just the chicken and waffles, but somehow that's the only thing I remembered to take a picture of. The chicken and waffles were great, but the jambalaya deserves a shoutout too. It was hearty, flavorful, and felt like true comfort food. The staff was chill, service was smooth, and the vibes at the Long Beach location were immaculate. Would definitely come back hungry. read more

The staff greeted you the second you walked in and checked on your through out the meal which is always appreciated. I had a really enjoyable experience overall. The restaurant has a very casual, laid-back atmosphere that makes it easy to relax and enjoy your meal. One of my favorite parts was the outdoor patio. It had plenty of shade, which made it comfortable even during the warmer part of the day, and it added to the overall vibe. For the food, the mac and cheese was definitely a highlight. It was creamy, flavorful, and had a nice homemade taste that paired well with everything else on the plate. I also ordered the catfish, which was cooked well and had a nice texture. The only thing that kept it from being perfect was that it was seasoned a little heavier than I personally prefer. There was one particular seasoning that I couldn't quite identify, but it was a bit overpowering at first. Thankfully, adding a squeeze of lemon and using the tartar sauce really balanced the flavors and made it much more enjoyable. The mashed potatoes were good, although they reminded me of upgraded instant mashed potatoes. They were very garlicky, which isn't necessarily a bad thing if you're a garlic lover. I even wondered if that same bold garlic flavor was part of the seasoning on the catfish since the flavors seemed similar. Overall, I had a good meal and enjoyed the experience. The atmosphere was welcoming, the patio was a great place to sit, and the food was satisfying despite a couple of small flavor preferences. I'd definitely come back to try some of the other menu items and would recommend giving this place a try if you're looking for a casual spot with good comfort food. read more

Ordered takeout - fried chicken, collard greens and corn bread. Overall food was ok but was hoping for better for the price (over $20 with tax and tip). 1. Cornbread - looks like a muffin and was ok. I prefer mine to be softer and the "muffin" type made it harder because edge all the way around. Butter was delicious and wish I had more. Disappointed as I waited for my order and saw everyone dining in got cornbread free. Why not all orders? Everyone is paying the same price. 2. Fried chicken - had more of a cornmeal coating which kinda fell off leaving a weird grayish/brown skin. Chicken was moist and tasted good but not best fried chicken I've had. 3. Collard greens - best of what I ordered. Delicious but had a little kick. It was fine for me but others might not expect that. Would I go back? Perhaps if I was in the area like I was today. But most likely I'd like to try other soul food places first. read more

I have been here several times before but has been a while, ate here a week ago last Sunday. There is plenty of parking, but the lot tends to get packed on a Sunday. I love that there is a huge wall sized menu as you walk in to the left. You order and pay at the register and find an open seat. The staff brings your food to your table. Everyone I have visited the staff is always friendly. I ordered the chicken Cobb salad, I do not like blue cheese and the staff was able to substitute that with Parmesan. Since it was such a nice day, I sat outside in their cute covered patio area . Delicious fresh salad. Big portion size and they definitely didn't skimp on the salad fixings. The only thing I would have liked was the option to have the salad tossed, the dressing came on the side. But nonetheless I still enjoyed the salad. read more

The cornbread was amazing, fresh and warm. Not too sweet very moist. Eggs were cooked correctly. Fish came out hot & seasoned, not too much batter. The grits were good, lacked a bit of seasoning. Nothing a little salt and pepper didn't fix. Can't go wrong with a mimosa. I also asked for water, it tasted a little odd. Service was friendly, it such a cute little restaurant. I sat inside but the outside patio area is great addition to a small space. I'll see definitely be back to try something else. read more

We were seated in a timely manner but there was an extended wait for our order to be taken. When we asked why she took the order of a patron that was seated after us, she replied "oh he's a regular". My food was subpar. I ordered a chicken meal for which I paid an upgrade charge. The chicken was rubbery and brown. She brought replacement pieces that were the same in texture. This was probably the result of the chicken being improperly prepared. The yams were the best part of the meal. read more

I was craving ribs for dinner and Georgia's was the first to come to mind. The ribs are nice and tender off the bone with a good splash of barbecue sauce. I also appreciate the cornbread is complimentary as a dine-in guest. My sister ordered their shrimp basket and we upgraded to Cajun fries. The only thing was tracking down a bottle of ketchup- although we probably could have asked the servers, but we didn't want to be a bother. It was the dinner rush after all. We also like the outside dining is dog-friendly so our pup could people watch while we dined. read more

My family and I tried Georgia's for a late lunch a week ago. We ordered at the counter and were seated on the shaded patio outside with our small dog. The small plate of cornbread was great - tender and moist and served with I think apple butter. One of our dishes, the sea bass with lemon sauce, came quickly and the seasoning was smooth and creamy while having a a nice acidity to it. That, however, is where the positive ends. The rest of our party had to wait 30 minutes for the other 2/3 of our meals to arrive. During this time, there were other staff who were clearly available (wiping windows, clearing tables,etc.), but no one came to update us on where our food was. We had to get servers' attention, after which we were informed there was a large catering order causing the holdup. Which, fine; but as a guest who's physically seated in your restaurant, why send out only one dish and say the rest was coming in a few minutes? Why, more importantly, after those "few minutes" would you not provide an estimate for the others and say bring out more cornbread? Now, they did offer us some beignets (comped), but there was no reason it should have taken half an hour to send out a tri tip sandwich and blackened chicken pasta. I get the impression Georgia's prioritizes mobile orders, but this experience definitely makes me reconsider coming again in person. read more

Parking is horrible. I had to drive around the entire plaza three times. I was about to give up when someone was leaving and I snagged the spot. After a long walk to the restaurant we were greeted by super friendly employees. You order at the register and find a table. 100% of the tables were filthy and not once during our entire visit did staff clean them. Several customers were complaining about it. This restaurant has excellent fried catfish. So much flavor! I loved the black eyed peas too. Collard greens didn't seem washed enough and were very gritty. I couldn't eat much of it. My wife had the fried chicken but said it was just OK. We also shared some tasty fried green tomatoes and I got a cup of their outstanding jambalaya. Besides the greens I really enjoyed my meal. I probably would not return though since the dining room was filthy which makes me wonder about the kitchen. Parking was horrible but there was a outdoor market thing happening so maybe that contributed to that. read more

Been meaning to write a review for Georgia's. I've tried the catfish, collards, and jambalaya rice. The fish was prepared to order and the collards and jambalaya were fresh as well. The tastes wasn't bad. The greens were better than some I've had in soul food restaurants - not bitter. The fish was really good. The rice didn't quite do it for me though. The portion size was great! The place is located in an outdoor strip mall. There are about 15 tables and it can accommodate small groups. Staff were helpful and friendly. Overall not a bad dining experience. read more

Good quality on the food ! I really enjoyed my tri tip salad it was loaded and came with a yummy piece of toast. Also when we sat the servers brought out delish cornbread. We ordered Mac and cheese for my little one. The ambiance is casual you order at the counter and sit it's perfect for fast and tasty lunch. My only reason where there could be some improvement is price ? We paid 90 for 3 adults and 1 baby to dine. Maybe that's a standard now in a lot of places but for an order at the counter I think it's a little high. Thank you! read more

BIRTHDAY MONTH=BIRTHDAY COUPONS=HAPPY RODNEY $5 Birthday Month Promo for Rewards members Upon consuming my free birthday month sandwich at Ike's, and afterwards dining at Sosogu for a Signature Roll & Cocktail, Georgia's Restaurant was the next stop on the agenda. Hmmmm, I could use the $5 on a side, or dessert, perhaps. But, since I was quite satiated, I decided a nice cold Michelob Ultra would hit the spot on a hot August day. And, it did! $4.95, which made the beer absolutely free! Service was great. Georgia's was mildly busy, and I had my beer in hand quickly, which I downed in a few minutes. Thirst quenching! Georgia's provides a decent Birthday Month promo, which I avail myself of, every year. A free beer is nothing to kvetch about, and I look forward to when August rolls around, again. read more

We started off with fried green tomatoes. I love the batter . It was really flavorful. The tomatoes were crisp . I'm not a huge fan but my wife likes them. They were good. We also got chicken wings lemon pepper and spicy. The lemon pepper were not overly Tangy with lemon and had a nice pepper spice on them. The spicy were good as well. The wings were cooked nice and I preferably don't like them fried hard so they were on point. My wife got the Sea bass and garlic rice , cabbage and jambalaya. The sea bass and sauce was tasty. We thought the sauce could have been a little thicker and the garlic rice bolstered the flavor. The Cabbage had good flavor but we thought it was chopped a bit too fine. And the jambalaya had a lot of flavor but we like our jambalaya and dry. I'm not familiar with Saucy jambalaya like that. I got the pork chops. Delicious with one exception. I should have had them cook my medium rare or medium. The gravy was tasty. My greens had great flavor except I thought they could have been chopped down a bit more. And the beans and rice were good as well. Almost forgot about the cornbread muffins. Good to go. That is fine as some in texture but great flavor. We went on the 4th of July so parking was easy for us . I'm in a wheelchair so accessibility was easy as there was not that many patrons. The server was really nice to us as she was able to start us off with drinks without us having to go to the counter and pay initially. Great place to spend my dollars on the 4th! read more

My dad and I are brunch people. He stumbled across this gem and shared it with me . This is a black owned eatery in Long Beach with exceptional service.! The homegirls and I wanted to participate in Sunday funday, so we did just that. I got the catfish dinner paired with Mac and cheese , dirty and I got a side of shrimp . My catfish was fried to perfection- I didn't even have to tell them to fry it hard. One of my friends got fried chicken, mac and cheese and rice and beans. They gave us complimentary corn bread as well. Yummm! The owner was walking around and very helpful to her staff. They have bottomless mimosas as well. I will be coming back because there's serval things I want to try off the menu. P.S. there is free parking. read more

A porter recommended this place, we have a 7 hour layover so Why Not! They wear shirts that say "Soul-Licious" and they ain't lying! Greeted right away, you order & pay and they bring to you. Peach sangria...refreshing! They give you beautiful cornbread muffin while u wait - with butter. The muffins have great texture but something was missing, they were bland. Let me tell you the rest of the meal made up for them! Fried pickles with a sauce, A+. I had catfish & perfectly seasoned grits! The tartar sauce was perfect! My granddaughter had gumbo with rice and OMG it was So AUTHENTIC! Like home! I'm taking an order to go so I can add some crab at home! They have wine & beer as well. We sat outside on their patio in a perfect spot of sunshine! The table next to me was kind enough to allow me to take pix of their food too, that's an Elite request they could not deny...LOL I overheard their convos and they each Loved everything they ordered! They did have a similar comment on the cornbread, it's not bad but definitely missing "something ". It's Sunday and they are playing Motown! Y'all get on over here to this spot! If I come back to Long Beach, Miss Georgia's is definitely on my list...! Note to owners: if the employees and customers use the same bathrooms, please REMOVE the "push mechanism " on the water. It does not stay on long enough for a proper handwashing. That could get employees in the bad habit of "quick rinse & return" which could lead to food contamination/ illness from improper hand washing. The bathroom is handicapped accessible, gender specific but there is only 1 for each gender. read more

I went here for brunch before my flight back home. A friend thought I would enjoy it. And I did. My friend doesn't eat out much, so if he said it was good, it was good. Lovely ambience and the patio is nice ! Great service! We ordered the chicken and waffles. The waffle was perfectly crisp on the edges and soft inside. The chicken was flavored nice but maybe needed just a bit more salt . Overall, very good. I love that it's so close to the airport. read more

My good friend has been telling me about this place and I finally went today for my aunt's birthday. The restaurant was cool. They had a nice variety of food options to choose from. The service was impeccable. Our waitress, Jersey was so kind, helpful, and professional and made you feel like family. She is a great asset to the restaurant. I had the catfish with greens, yams, cornbread, and a lemonade vodka alcohol drink. The food was delectable with plenty of flavor, quality ingredients, and nice size portions. The food tasted like my great-grandmother's, grandma and mom's food. Everything was made fresh to order and very hot. Note: They have brunch on weekends and daily specials. read more

I really enjoyed Georgia's!! Very good souls food spot! They make all their food so fresh and good quality! Everything that I tried/ ordered was the bomb! For my entree I had the Louisiana tilapia shrimp with yams and greens as my sides!! Everything was amazing!!! The food melted in my mouth with very good flavor!! I tried the fried Shrimp, and Mac & cheese that was delightful! Also the cornbread muffins was poppin' it comes when you dine in! They have good lemonade, hurricanes, beer, and wine. The service was amazing!! Jersey was so amicable and let us know the best options to get! Very patient respectful lady. The ambiance is cute and modern. You order your food before you sit. It gets crowded so beware of that. However, good food, atmosphere, and customer service. It's plenty of parking! It's on a nice shopping center. I will definitely be back! -Marshay Dede read more

Another great visit! I knew I would be back soon to try a Chicken Bucket to go! Boneless Chicken Breast, Corn Bread and two Soulful Sides! I chose coleslaw and rice/beans for the sides. I called about 20 minutes in advance and it was waiting for pick-up when I arrived. I had to wait to pick my husband up at LGB and then the drive home. I am guessing between pick up and when we sat down to eat, at least 1.5 hrs had passed. The food held very well. chicken still very crispy. Again, the chicken has a nice little kick to it. Coleslaw was very good with a nice tangy dressing. Beans and rice another great choice. Cornbread, so good! The bucket came with six very generous sized breasts. There were three of us eating and we had plenty for dinner and then lunches to go the next day! Service was great from the nice young man that took my phone order to the nice young lady that rang me up and hand me my food! It waa very busy, yet super friendly and polite! Definitely a great place to dine in or take to go! Thank you Georia's for an easynand yummy Dinner tonight! read more

Again, updating reviews isn't usually my thing. Unless they have a new menu item or I had amazing service I came here around prime dinner time and it wasn't too busy. Ordered our food (you order up front, pay up front and then they bring the food to you) we got the fried pickles, chili mac, beans and rice and their garlic fries which are amazing. Not too overpowering and very crispy. After our food was brought and everything was going smooth, a younger man kept asking if we needed anything and refilling our waters. I asked him his name so I could update this review and give him the shout out that he deserves. Ray (I told him I wouldn't forget it since Rae is my middle name) was amazing.

Not sure what all the hype is with this place. As far as authentic soul food, imo it's not an authentic experience. Had the gumbo, fried green tomatoes, Mac n cheese, friend chicken and waffles. The fried chicken and fried green tomatoes have the same batter. This is an order first than sit down so if you're looking for a full dining experience this is not it.

I love friend chicken, but that isn't why I like this place. At best, the chicken is a tier below your go-to chicken chains; however, what I do appreciate is how nice the service is, and how good the other items besides the chicken is. I wouldn't say the chicken is bad at all, in fact, it's delicious. It's just different. And if you like different, something with a grainy mouth feel, then this is the place for you. The pieces I received were juicy and cooked well. And overall, I felt right at home, eating and having a drink with friends. I highly recommend this place. The corn bread should be enough to give it an honest try. read more
