We where in Long Beach WA this last week. Stopped in at several local restaurants. We avoided the Lost Roo because we thought it might be a chain. It is NOT. I feel we made a mistake by not stopping in sooner. Probably the largest restaurant in Long Beach. The pizza place could be larger, but I did not go to Long Beach for Pizza. Definitely the cleanest and best service. You really would think this was a large corporation. It is abundantly evident that the owners care about their restaurant and continually put money back into it. As for the food. Again a very pleasant surprise. We started with some Tatter Tots w/Ranch Dressing. I know, not fancy at all. My wife loves the Tots, so I have to give in. They where really excellent. How hard is it to throw some tots in the fryer and take them back out a few minutes later. Not hard at all, but you would be surprised how many places can't even get that right. Not the case here. Cooked to a perfect golden brown, served in a cute little bucket with Ranch Dressing (it was fresh. My guess is they made on site moments before we got it). I had the Bacon Blue Cheese BBQ Burger. A great selection. I believe it was a homemade blueberry BBQ sauce. Very interesting and very very good. I know, I made a remark about going to the coast and having pizza above. Yes, I had a burger. The previous 5 days I had seafood, so it was time for a change. So glad I did. The burger came with a smoked bacon and grilled onions. This is my favorite type of burger and I may have just found my all time favorite. My wife had the Baja Fish Tacos with Pineapple Salsa. So you guessed it, I got to have those as well. Excellent. The salsa is sweet and tangy. You can have the fish deep fried or grilled. We went with the grilled option. Very fresh and flavorful. Reese's mom was along for the ride and she had the Dungeness Crab Melt. When it hit the table, I really wish I had ordered it. It was gone before my wife or I noticed so I know it was good. I will try it the next time I am in town. In the summer months, Long Beach is full of tourists. Since Reese's mom lives in the area, we get to experience it when few people are around. The Lost Roo keeps up its standards even during the winter months. My guess is they are swamped in the summer. Even if the parking lot is full, I would still stop in and try and get a table. read more

Went in for an early dinner. Service was excellent. The steak was one of the best I've ever had. Not expensive for this quality of food.

Great new restaurant in Long Beach. We ate there a few weeks ago and the place was packed. All of the food my party had was delicious. I don't remember what everyone else got, but I had the rockfish tacos and they were delicious. The prices are VERY reasonable, they're trying to make it a place for the locals, in contrast to all of the overpriced stuff aimed at the tourists. They have tons of seating for large groups, and the kids menu looks really tasty too. They also have a large drink selection, both beer and wine and mixed drinks. read more

Very friendly staff and delicious food. Try the prime rib dip and tots, they are one of my favorites

Really was excited to try this place. Checked their hours in the morning; their website says they are open until 9pm on Mondays. We tried ordering online at 645pm, it wouldn't let us. We called and no answer. Drove down to the restaurant and it looks like it had been closed for hours. Really disappointed that the restaurant didn't honor its posted hours read more

Probably the best place to eat in Long Beach Wa. It's a tad more expensive than other places, but not much. And what you get for your money is more than worth it. These people actually know how to prepare seafood! Service was excellent. It's a loud crowded sports bar type atmosphere. At least a night. Be prepared for that. read more

Went for lunch with a couple of grown kiddo's and the grandma. I ordered the bruschetta appetizer as my main, and it was awesome! A huge order! We shared an order of garlic fries, which even together we didn't finish, as well as everyone's own order. Service was friendly. read more

I'd highly recommend skipping this place. Especially don't order from the kids menu. Although the adults mac and cheese is home made and looked pretty good (if it wasn't $30! HA!) they have a separate pot of blue box Kraft mac & cheese for kids. Its $6 for a small soup bowl, (no more than 1 Cup) not exaggerating, it was Kraft. The waitress even had the gall to come around say "mmm! isnt that good mac and cheese?!" To the kids. Really? Ordered the Tuna Tower for one adult, tasted fine, but was more like a tuna pancake. Just a rip off all the way around. read more

Really cute interior and light ambience. I felt very comfortable here considering everything else in Long Beach is kinda sketch. Food was mediocre and also kind of randomly chosen. Our waitress was super nice and the plating was very clean. Overall a good experience read more

I can't believe it's been almost six years since I wrote my first review of this place. We loved it the first time around, so today we returned for lunch. I had the black bean rice bowl with chicken and my wife had the ahi tuna tower. Both dishes were excellent; the attention to detail in the kitchen is apparent in the quality of the meals they serve. Very satisfying - and a great value. read more

Firstly, let it be known that if the theme is Australian based, I'm going to visit. We were in town for the forth of July week, all the way from Hiawassee, GA. When my wife and I took a stroll through town, the Kangaroos caught my eye. Instantly I was drawn in to the Down Under feel of the place and knew that I would be having dinner there on that very night. My parents, myself and my beautiful wife all made the trip in for dinner that evening. I had the lamb burger, with garlic tots. It was so tender and juicy, I loved every bite. My wife had the Dungeness Crab melt, which was also extremely good. I know because I was stealing bites when she wasn't looking. Like I said, I love all things Australian, so I had to have some souvenirs. The Goose point Oyster shooter was a must, I had to have that shot glass. I ordered one for both my wife and myself. I'll be honest, she isn't a raw oyster type of girl, so she took a sniff and passed. I downed them both. they were great and I took home two awesome shot glasses. Also, picked up a Lost Roo hoodie, which I am currently wearing in my profile pic. Overall, a great experience. If we ever make it back out to Long Beach, I will make sure to stop by again. read more

Need I say yellow cheese on a dungess crab cake placed on a slice of plain white toast! Just disappointing. Way over priced at $18 compared with quality. My husband had the fish and chips and they use frozen potatoes for the chips! The side salad was good and so was the service that was why I gave an extra star. read more

Ate here tonight while in long beach for a clam trip. 3 dinners, one app and no drinks was $100 with tip. Salmon Mac and cheese was very good. Steamer clam app was excellent. Peanut chicken good. Rib steak - disappointed. Very lean for a rib steak - more like a sirloin. Asked about a dinner salad and nope - extra - but was able to sub salad for potatoes and the vegetables. Really? Can't give me 50 cents worth of potatoes? Lost a star for high prices and low quality steak. Oh and $7 for about 1/3 cup of cobbler??? Good flavor but seriously - a little pricey. read more

The food was good, but did not stand out. We ordered fish and chips which we heard they had their own spin on, but they were average greasy fish and chips. The beer selection was impressive. The atmosphere was really neat and the bar looked like it would have been fun! Service was slow in the restaurant and refills were hard to come by. I was turned off when a waitress brought us an extra plate and before setting it down, she noticed food stuck on it so used her fingernail to scratch it off and then her hand to dust it. I'm sure it was clean before she put her dirty hands all over it. I wish we tried some other things on the menu because it had a good selection and will still consider returning to try. read more

Wow - incredible restaurant. My husband had a black and blue burger and I had a lamb burger. Tip - for the lamb burger, it you're not a "mint sauce" fan - ask to have the sauce on the side. Both burgers were excellent - cooked perfectly, juicy and messy - YUM! For a busy restaurant, the service was excellent - but plan to wait about 20-30 minutes during "normal" meal times. Great atmosphere, good portion sizes, prices reasonable. read more

Food: Dungeness Crab Cakes were great, but pretty small for $10 a pop (especially for restaurant in a coastal town). Cajun seasoned tots and fries were both delicious. Ciopinno was delicious. The Calamari appetizer with Thai peanut sauce was amazing. Unfortunately, the Prime Rib Dip was basically slices of boiled meat...very bland and dry. "Rooben" was meh. Fish tacos were crap. Drinks: Orange Dream Martini was legit! Strawberry Honey was yummy (but a little foofy and dad ordered it. Hehe) Cucumber Lime drink was horrifying. The fruit punch and mango mojito were lame. Service: had to ask for water THREE times. Waitress would not take a 40 year olds paper id (which is policy, that's fine) and went on to point at them and say "I better not catch you trying any of these drinks!" It seemed a little unnecessary. Overall, we won't go there again. It's a nice joint, especially outside, but overpriced. When you only eat in this town a few times a year, you want to go to the perfect place! read more

Delicious the best food I've had in a long time I had the Ahi Tuna tonight and it was awesome! And the coconut margarita was yummie

Staff was polite food was good some gluten-free options atmosphere was fun definitely recommend

Great, but!!! I would not recommend the Jumbo Gumbo, I don't know what it was, everyone else in my family enjoyed their meals but the rice was a little over cooked and kinda clumpily mushed together in some spots. I like the sauce and okra but the sausages and shrimp were overly done, rubbery and hard to cut/ chew. I ate about 3 pieces of sausage and 1 shrimp and I couldn't continue. They were very nice and refunded my meal fully an even offered to get me something else but I was just over it and didn't want to wait for another meal to me cooked when everyone else was waiting. My partner enjoyed his meal and highly recommends the crab cakes, he said that normally restaurants over mix the crab but they did a very good job on perfecting their recipe, and method, (him being a chef) and he praises the other chefs for not ruining them. Overall I think it's honestly a good place to go get a meal but don't really recommend the jumbo gumbo, until they perfect the recipe at least! read more

Friendly staff, fast service. Food was good, nothing out of this world but still pretty good. My husband had the fish n chips, he thought they were ok. I had the crab melt, which had generous portions of crab. Kids meals were priced well and pretty proportioned. My favorite thing was the calamari because of the slaw underneath with the Asian fusion going on. Also had the lava cake which was slightly over cooked and ended up being more of just a regular chocolate cake. The turtle brownie was good. Will return for another round. read more

On a day trip to Long Beach we decided to try this restaurant for lunch. A definite hit. I had the Ahi sandwich and loved it - yes sometimes I do like the food. LOL It was delicious and looked great as a presentation in the tin pan serving plates. The tater tots were crispy and also tasted good.The rest of our table also enjoyed their food. We ate outside on the nice deck in the warm sun (yes 70 degrees - my perfect summer weather) and enjoyed the breeze and good company. Our server was attentive and did an excellent job. The decor is interesting and different (all Aussie). It seems I also tend to rate bathrooms LOL but the men's is fun. You have to try it to understand (OK probably 14 year old teen boy fun) - also any bathroom that has a big New York City poster is a winner in my opinion. Apparently the ladies isn't as neat (cool). I would definitely come back. read more

Spring Break busy but got a seat right away. Waitress was super fun and attentive. We asked for suggestions! She was able to go off the menu for us too! Prime rib dip - a little above average and good tots Fish Tacos- outstanding and good pineapple salsa Bowl of Chowder - so good my wife wouldn't share! Mac and Cheese - Great Kinda weird theme for the coast but it was worth it! read more

Our go to spot for dinner in town. Always good food and it's a great spot to watch a game as well. Half the restaurants is a bar, with 12 rotating beers on tap, and the other half accommodates families. I recommend trying the black bean bowl read more

Salmon Sandwich was great . Take out order was fast. I will order from this restaurant again. Every time I come into town.

Thai peanut chicken is my go to. Seriously delicious. If they jarred that sauce I would buy it in bulk and put it on everything!

Amazing cocktails, old fashioned and blueberry lemon drop. Crab mac n cheese was spot on. High ceiling bar is my favorite. I'll be back.

Excellent gumbo and steelhead! We're from the midwest and seafood was delicious! The service was prompt and attentive.

I tentatively give a 3 - I'm usually impressed with this place, but the wait staff is hit & miss sometimes. One of the best spots on the south WA coast for food drinks & fun, but I've endured witches w/ a capital B & saints. This may stem from my usual advice, townerz don't be a d!€k, the rest of us suffer because you hate your own life. No knock on anything served here - love the lamb burger read more

We went to dinner here the other night. Very fun, casual atmosphere. Lots of space. The service was nice and quick. The food was very tasty. I had the fish tacos, which are a personal favorite, and they were done well. Wife had the clam chowder, which she loved. We also got a side of the smoked steelhead mac & cheese which was really good. We had an excellent time here. read more

Great sports bar. Large multiple Tv's, large bad area as well as a dining area. Local beers. I had the steamed clams appetizer, delicious. Then I had the gumbo, which was also good, not fantastic, but very good. All in all its a great sports bar with better than just bar food. I would definitely go here for sports events. read more

I love this place. It was super crowded and the three of us had to eat at the bar, but the service was excellent - probably better than the people at regular tables, since the WSU vs OSU football game was on and no one was moving. We ordered shepherd's pie; a blackened steak salad and a French dip sandwich. We also had their cheese dip and bread. French dip: hot, tender, fresh and delicious. Nothing fancy, but it really hit the spot. Shepherd's pie: I didn't try it, because it has lamb in it, and I can't eat lamb, but my sister said it was delicious, and it was beautiful. Steak salad: Incredibly tender steak chunks on a non-fancy bed of lettuce, but the dressing was good, and the steak was delish. The bartender was a nice as she could be and we had a really great time. I've never had better food in Long Beach. Ever. This is the place to eat. read more

We were looking for a place for dinner on Saturday night after getting into town from Seattle. We drove by the Lost Roo and saw that the parking lot was pretty busy which is usually a good sign. We were in the mood for Thai food though, so we kept driving. When it was time to drive home the next afternoon we decided to give this place a shot, which I'm glad we did. The wait staff was friendly and helpful when we asked about vegan options. My sister was able to order a garden burger (I believe) and I ordered the seafood chowder with a side of garlic bread which I really enjoyed. The place is clean and has enough tables so people can be spread out instead of sitting on top of each other. The only thing that was a little off was that my sister ordered a beer which should've come fairly quickly, but it came only minutes before our food which seemed weird. For a small town without too many options and the fear of getting sick, I would recommend this place. Actually, even in Seattle I would recommend this place based on how great their seafood chowder was. Enjoy! read more

If you're looking for a prime rib sandwich while you're in Long Beach The rue is a place to go. Great service also haven't had a bad trip yet. read more

Very nice place with-an adult only area. Great Thursday night prime rib. Wonderful service and friendly staff

This was possibly the strangest themed restaurant I've ever been to. Whoever decided to put a kangaroo/outback themed restaurant in the middle of nowhere, well- more power to you. We only came here because we had a 5 year old with us and couldn't go to anywhere nicer/seafood based. If that's your situation then it's great. The food was not great, but my expectations were low to begin with when there's kangaroos staring at you from every direction. Portion sizes were big. They were going for a jack of all trades deal, a little of every dish ever invented. Never a good sign. read more

This place is AMAZING! Great food and great service! Our server was Travis. We started out wirh the calamari. The thai peanut sauce was a great surprise! Very delicious! The ribeye is awesome! I was hesitant about having the balsamic with the food, but it complimented it so well, that I asked for more! My husband got the Roo Burger and it was flavorful! Get the tots! They have the best root beer (in a bottle) and the Chocolate Turtle Sundae was sooooo good! I'm pretty sure if you ate anything here, you'd be happily satisfied! read more

The Fisherman's chowder was the best chowder I've had in our 4 days traveling along the NW coast! Soooo good. Hubby got the gumbo and said it was great. I ordered a crab melt, which had a lot of crab meat on it and not much filler like other places I've been. The kid ordered the fish fry, and it was actually panko breaded fish, not the frozen stuff most places feed the kids. All of the food was spot on, and our waitress was very friendly and attentive. Well definitely come by again when we are in the area! read more

I love the lost roo. Friendly staff and the menu is a great selection for everyone. They're always consistent!

Upon recommendation, and wanting to try local fare, we decided to give the Lost Roo a try. The parking lot was full, so we had to drive around a bit to find a place to park. The restaurant is large and we were seated quickly, but it's very loud. We were greeted by our server quickly, but noticed that more than one person seems to handle tables and our waitress was very busy w/ a lot of other tables. We had hoped for some great, local seafood choices, but the menu is rather limited for them, still we were told this is a marriage of Aussie style and comfort food, so we dove in and decided to try something "different". I opted for the pulled pork tacos and my husband, the fish tacos and dinner salads. The salads were not your typical bed of lettuce, but a combo of different lettuces, great chunks of tomato and onion. They were very good, and large for a salad, but then again, I believe they were about $4 each. Food arrived quickly and was hearty. 3 tacos per order. The green salsa was just spicy enough to add to the pork, w/out overpowering it and there was a pineapple salsa for the fish tacos that was delightful. We had hoped to try the lemon/lime cheesecake that was highly recommended, but they were out, so we tried the oreo cookie ice cream pie...and it was a good finish to share. The portion would have been far too much for one person (in my opinion). Overall, for the price, I would say this is not the most family, budget friendly choice on the Peninsula, but the food was good. The atmosphere was a bit loud for my taste, and it seemed the wait staff was working more hectically than should have been and the restaurant was not completely full. read more

Had a good time at Lost Roo. Smoked Salmon Mac and cheese and the lamb burger. Also dessert was their Special brownie and two speciality drinks. Good food, good service. Would definitely Recommend and go back. read more
