Been eyeing Jongewaard's for a while now, but finally got to try it this past weekend. I must admit we almost gave up waiting because there were about 10 teams in front of us and the wait was over an hour, but we persevered, and it was worth it. I do think the wait was longer because they weren't seating people outside because of the LA fires and air quality. It had a vintage diner vibe with cozy booth seats and an amazing collection of pies in their bakery area. Usually at older diners, the seats and interiors are worn out, but not here. It was super clean and looked almost brand new (not sure if they renovated). They share a parking lot with the church across the street which is super convenient. My family and I were so hungry by the time we got seated so we got to excited and ordered a bunch of things - which ended up being way too much because the portions were HUGE. Lemon Blueberry Pancakes - 10/10 One of the best pancakes I have had in a while. I loved that it was served with Raspberry sauce and butter. The pancakes were the perfect softness and had a bit of a crispy edge which was chef's kiss. Cheese Pocket French Toast - 7/10 Honestly it was delicious but I think because we already had the pancakes, we weren't really drawn to the French Toast as much. It was also a bit too sweet for me. Tomato, Basil, Onion & Jack Omelette - 10/10 Comes with soup or salad of your choice and they really perfected the seasoning. Super flavorful and no dry eggs. California Chicken Sandwich - 8/10 I would say the chicken was a bit lacking in flavor but it was a good palette cleanser for the otherwise stacked meal. Chicken Pot Pie - 10/10 Wow. I didn't even know I liked Chicken Pot Pie like that. So creamy and filled with veggies and chicken. The crust was buttery and not rock hard like some Chicken Pot Pie's I have tried in the past. read more

Jongewaard's Bake n Broil - American Near Me - Long Beach, California

Last Wednesday, I called to order a fresh peach pie and was so pleased when they made it for me to pick up within 30 minutes. I appreciated the service and was excited to surprise my husband with his favorite treat. Today, I called again hoping to place the same order, but was told they no longer take orders for that pie and that it's now "first come, first served." I was genuinely disappointed. I understand that businesses can adjust their policies, but it's a letdown when a convenient and thoughtful gesture suddenly becomes difficult to fulfill. Of course, they're free to manage their products however they choose just as I'm free to take my business elsewhere or even try making the pie myself. I'll miss the convenience, but I'll find another way to bless my husband this season. read more

Bake & Broil is a very popular spot. We were there on a Friday, arrived at 11:30 and put in our name. We were seated at 12:45. In their defense, due to Christmas being days away, the restaurant was crazy busy with tons of people picking up orders for pies and food. Be aware the seating is on the cramped side (were people smaller in the 1960's?). Every employee that I saw was working hard and constantly helping customers. I enjoyed my 1/2 sandwich and soup that came with a slice of pie. A wonderful experience if you're not in a hurry and are looking for some great food. read more

Absolutely phenomenal. Great service. Great vibes. Great water. Great food. Great gravy. Great eggs.

My favorite breakfast place. Cool vibe, they have the best red velvet and carrot cake. I always get the chicken fried steak and eggs. Seasoned hashbrowns with squaw bread (like a sweet rye bread) their fresh salsa on the eggs are good too. They get pretty packed on weekends so there is often a wait. Certain days you can park across the street in the church parking lot (check signage) otherwise you park on the street. Great local staple. Service is good as well, i believe it's a family owned restaurant. read more

Went there with my mother for midday rations. Had to wait for an inside table. Washrooms and "all gender" and were clean and had paper towels available... good. I ordered the burger combo. That came with French Fries and a Salad. Salad was quite good. French Fries were satisfactory. Burger was fine but I think that Red Robin does a better burger. I just had "Wooder" to drink. I do have a general complaint about the personal appearance of most but not all of the guys who work at this establishment. Many of the guys failed to tuck their shirts in. I consider untucked shirts to be very unprofessional. I did see a couple of guys wear their shirts tucked in... good on them. Since it is apparent that this establishment does not require their guys to tuck their shirts in I am dinging this establishment one point as this is something I am OCD about, I am dinging this establishment one point. Too bad this establishment doesn't serve Pepsi and Dr. Pepper. Too bad this establishment is not open for dine in during evening hours. read more

It was a long wait but I would wait twice as long for such an amazing experience. Our server, Mary, was super attentive even though it was super busy. I only drink decaf coffee and my friend had regular and she didn't mix us up once. My food was so good! The cream cheese was not too sweet or too much. The hash browns were fresh and crispy throughout. Will be back again soon! read more

What can you say about an iconic neighborhood institution like BnB? Only bummer is the cut in operating hours post-COVID, The place is almost always packed, and for good reason. Have never had a bad meal there, and been going there since late 70's. Great family-run operation, always cheerful helpful servers and staff. Their baked stuff is all top-notch...holidays are especially crazy because of that. I couldn't recommend anyplace more than BnB read more

My co-worker and I wanted to have breakfast in the LBC so we decided to try this place. We came on a Saturday and I found a parking spot (lucky me); the place was pretty busy and parking was scarce. Waited maybe 25 minutes to be seated which wasn't too bad since we had a nice seat in the outdoor patio. The ambiance: We were seated near the kitchen where it was very busy but with good company and great convo, you hardly notice how hectic it is. I was torn between the quiche w/muffin on the side & the country fried steak w/eggs. I asked the waiter what he preferred and so I went with the latter. The food came out fairly quickly, maybe 10 mins. The steak and country gravy was good and the puff pastry I ordered on the side was delish. Service was great, everyone was friendly. Will def be coming back with my daughter so we can try the lemon raspberry pancakes. 10 out of 10! ‍‍ read more

Love this place. I come here whenever I'm in the area and sometimes drive outta my way to eat here. The quiche was tasty with just a mild spicyness so it was perfect for this gringo. The cinnamon muffin flavorful but needed the butter but it was a little too hot as I think they microed it before serving. The apple sauce was a new thing I'd never tried and was very surprised when I ate the entire bowl. 40 years later and happy this place is still here. Service was very friendly and all staff were helping each other and asking if I needed anything. read more

Jongewaard's Bake n Broil - Chicken Pot Pie (While They Last), clam chowder, - American Near Me - Long Beach, California

Jongewaard's is famous in LB for a reason and the line is worth the wait. It has been a while since my first visit and I am happy to say that the food is just as delicious as I remembered it to be! I ordered the banana walnut pancake plate which came with eggs and my choice of bacon or sausage. I added avocado on the side for some freshness. all around the table everyone raved about their food and a few folks took a slice of cake or a baked good to go. The place is a bit busy inside, but it's cozy and has a warm neighborhood feel. This is a perfect place for a casual breakfast, brunch, or plate of dessert. Service was friendly and welcoming. Can't wait for my next visit! read more

Bake and Broil is one of my favorite socal brunch spots! We got their vegetarian omelette, albacore salad, and lemon blueberry pancakes. It has also been cold and rainy in socal, so I got a bowl of beef and vegetable soup which came with their famous cornbread! We grabbed a boysenberry pie and enjoyed it as a post-dinner dessert! read more

The good: I tried the chicken pot pie with a side of vegetable beef soup, lemon and blueberry pancakes with a side of bacon, scrambled eggs and sausage, chocolate cake, lemon meringue pie, and iced latte. I loved how the sausage was plump and soft rather than shriveled and over cooked like many breakfast sausages at other breakfast places. The pie display with the fun plastic pie divider and cutter were cool to look at and very appetizing. They had crayons and a coloring page for my toddler. Our waitress was super nice and helpful. I like how the booths were adjacent to the middle pie bar area from which servers took and made my drink orders. My husband liked the pancakes more than I did. The chicken pot pie had a great salty crust and a nice texture with balanced flavors. The prices were fair. The bad: There's a long wait and they don't call you by phone or text when your table is ready so you must be present with your entire party. There was a long wait when I came at 1PM on a Thursday. The chocolate cake tasted like the oil used in it. The lemon pie didn't have the classic torched meringue (it had meringue but it wasn't baked). They ran out of cheese pockets when I came. Two women before me were very upset at the female cashier. One said she felt disrespected and the other complained of the long wait. The breakfast was nice but wasn't worth the wait. I think there's only street parking. The raspberry sauce was sweet but wouldn't been nice if it had more tartness. The interior is cramped. The bacon could've been crispier but I know many prefer bacon slightly soft. I felt rushed by the host. The interesting: There's an outdoor space but they weren't serving anyone outdoors today. The raspberry sauce was clear and lighter in color than I expected read more

Came in today for our annual management holiday lunch. Ordered the chicken pot pie, which is only served until there are no more available for the day. The crust is just baked to perfection with big chunks of chicken and veggies. And the portion is just right. It comes with a small side garden salad. Both were delicious. Finished the meal with a slice of rhubarb pie. I didn't love it but I didn't hate it. It was just too tart for me at the time. I like tart but I wasn't feeling it today. The restaurant is small but there is outside seating as well. Another small town type of restaurant, which I love. Overall, the decor and food were amazing. There are original tickets from concerts in the 70's from bands that played in Long Beach. How awesome is that. read more

I definitely recommend the pancakes, they're so fluffy. read more

Foos and pastries was amazing. I ordered a birthday cake and it did not disappoint. The cake was moist and delicious.

I was so excited to experience this breakfast spot this am? Well the service is very unsatisfying. I choose to sit at bar for a reason.... Great attentive services? Not here..... I had to ask can I be seated no one acknowledged me upon entry. I sat down two others sat down after me. I had to ask the manager for help just to place my order? She had no made me feel like she did not care....Instead of her taking my order she answered an incoming call and took there order? Stilll not caring about my time or experience. After a lengthy weight I asked again may I put my order in. A tall young man just laughed at me. Am I not here for breakfast? The manager said someone was coming? After this long wait the tall gentleman man came back and he took the the two people that came after me order FIRST???? When he finally came to me he said how you doing? Well I've sat here at your bar for well over 15 min? My response was I'm Not doing well at all. I do not like the. Customer service here??? Beautiful Decor praying for staff with compassion empathy. Without customers you have no jobs to offer or fill? We can do better. I also watch the tall guy go to the end of the counter to put my order in and tell his co worker what I said and they both laughed. My experience matters to me.... So my pancakes arrived no bacon? I asked the tall guy where my bacon was he said I did not order bacon??? Listen to your customers...... when you care?????? read more

Jongewaard's Bake n Broil - Burnt bacon why? This food is very costly these days.... - American Near Me - Long Beach, California

Absolutely delicious! The food was so good, I didn't even stop to snap a picture -- and that says everything. I ordered the eggs with Polish sausage and their perfectly seasoned hash browns, which came loaded with sautéed onions and bell peppers -- a flavor combo I didn't know I needed. I went with the squaw bread, a rare find these days, and it was the perfect choice. The portions? Generous enough to satisfy two lite eaters, no problem. Service was quick and genuinely friendly, which added to the cozy vibe of this small but bustling spot. Despite its size, we didn't wait long to be seated. Bonus points for the dessert and muffin display that greets you at the door -- it looked downright irresistible. I'll definitely be back! read more

Yesterday at 4:30 I stopped in this place and they were telling me it was closed. I asked if I could take something to go and they said yes to go is open and I ordered a chicken pot pie and a side salad which is their special. It was awful. It was cold and it was nothing but crumpled dough with three little pieces of chicken and dried out. The manager was sitting at the bar and there were 45 people running around back-and-forth restocking, sugars and creamers, and when I walked in the door, they're like we're closed I've been going to this place for 20 years. I used to belong to their rewards program and I ate there every other day when I was off work in between time for marketing and this was so disappointed and I was starving for the day I had just gotten in my car service in the morning. I've been running around south Orange County and literally was back before I went to work. Wanted to get a little something hot and comfort food and boy was I wrong I tried calling. No one answered to complain because I wanted to trade it out for something better. I guess they close on Monday evenings. I will not be going back to this place and unfortunately, they've lost a very, very loyal and good customer of 20 years as a result of the bad service and really on edible food !!! read more

Ambiance is cute, an intimate bustling cafe with people in and out, servers running around with cakes and pastries. Our server Jimmy was friendly and quick. The food was average. Burrito was good just missing flavor. The omelette was good too. Pancakes were yummy! And best of all was the biscuit with gravy! The gravy was absolutely delicious, I was worried it'd make my biscuit soggy but it held up nice and was the only thing i entirely finished. I'd come back to visit and try new things, maybe I didn't get the right things. I'll have to try the Pot Pie next time. read more

Bake n Broil, Bake n Broil, where do I begin? I've been coming here for years now since my aunt introduced me to this local hotspot back in 2017. They're known for the breakfast as they open early and close the dining room early as well, however they started doing takeout orders from a little window which ends at around 7pm if i'm correct. I used to usually opt for the bacon cheeseburger whenever I used to drop by for lunch but on my recent visit I tried their cheese omelette with hash browns which were great! Besides their food they're also known for their in-house desserts which are pies, cupcakes and other sweets! My go to is their chocolate cream pie which always hits the spot. I'd recommend to anyone their red velvet cupcakes as well! One thing to consider is as this is a popular spot among locals be prepared for short wait times as you will need to put your name on they're list upon arrival. All in all, I'll definitely continue supporting this local business as long as i'm around and I encourage you to give them a visit for some good food and desserts. read more

This is one of our fave breakfast spots! A Long Beach gem. It's no surprise you'll always encounter a wait even at different days of the week, different times of the day, 30+min, can be longer on weekends. There is street parking or park across the street at the church parking lot when there isn't mass. Cozy ambiance, seats in the back corner of restaurant can be a little loud (possible sounds/voices bounce from walls) Everything is good here. Our faves: chicken fried steak w gravy, the pancakes are delicious(all flavors), muffins(all flavors) served warm, pies, and if you have room, the cheese pocket or cinnamon roll .. yum yum yum. Customer service is Excellent. If you need it, ask for the children's menu, there's a "bear pancake"(see pic) read more

The food must be good, the place is ALWAYS packed! I give it 5 stars. I only go in for dessert, TO GO. 9-20-24,today, the reason for over all 3 stars is the GROSS bathroom! Trash all around, the floor looks like an alley. I am kind of shocked by its lack of cleanliness, especially in a Bixby Knolls neighborhoods. This is the second one in this area with similar conditions. Management really needs to step up n Fix this issue. There is a nice tile store right next door! Can't imagine what the kitchen looks like if they can't get their bathroom cleaner. read more

I placed an online order for Friends-giving! I was a bit confused at first due to all the thanksgiving order blasts. I called and they directed me through the site. It was easy breezy after that. I absolutely love their quiche. They're so silky smooth and flavorful. I picked green chile-cheese and a spinach mushroom for the party. We had Brinner (breakfast for dinner) theme. My peeps killed the green chile, which is also my fave. There were only a couple slices of the spinach mushroom. Jongwaard's is always the best option although one of the most expensive. You get what you pay for. I also didn't want to experiment with cheaper quality of a store. Upon pick up service was quick and professional as always read more

I came here with my family around 10:30 am, and we had to wait a long while to be seated, that's probably because we were a party of six. Even though the place was packed, the staff handled it so well! Once we sat down, we got our drinks right away, and the server was super attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. What really blew me away was how quickly the food came out--under 15 minutes, even with the crowd! That was such a nice surprise. I ordered the chili, and it was perfect comfort food. The flavor was rich and satisfying, and it came with a grilled cheese that hit the spot. Together, they were super filling, but not so heavy that you'd feel like you can't move afterward. My family tried different dishes, and everyone seemed pretty happy with what they got. Especially the ones that ordered the chicken pot pie. (which will definitely be something on my to-try list) The vibe here is warm and cozy, which made the wait totally worth it. I definitely plan to come back, especially to try their breakfast items, they looked amazing! If you're with a larger group, just be prepared to wait a bit, but the food and service make it worth it (: read more

Jongewaard's Bake n Broil - Chili Combo - American Near Me - Long Beach, California

5 stars for their pies, especially the limited holiday specials around thanksgiving and Christmas! Be sure to order ahead because these sell out around the holidays. Super easy pick up system next door with allotted times for pickup. I'm not a huge classic pie person, so the pies with whipped cream and fresh fruit are exactly up my alley. My favorite is the Holiday Lush pie - I bring this to family/friend events every holiday season and everyone looks forward to it. Also love the lemon lush pie year round. Restaurant - 4 stars. The diner is good as well for a classic breakfast, but be prepared to wait! read more
