MeeMa’s - Briskets & Gravy - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Long Beach, California

4.25/5 FOOD: chicken and gravy dish was the star of the show. the chicken piece was juicy, tender and well seasoned. the gravy complemented it well and didn't overpower the chicken's flavor. large portion for the pancakes and they were generous on the blueberries. the lemon flavor barely was barely there through, would have loved more ricotta too. SERVICE: super sweet and speedy workers on a weekday AMBIANCE: hence the name, you step into a different decade and feel nostalgic with their decor and artwork. very cute spot. read more

MeeMa’s - Blueberry Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, Chicken and Gravy - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Long Beach, California

Food Went here for a Sunday morning brunch with the wife. Ordered ourselves a breakfast burrito and a french toast. Loved the breakfast burrito, it was filled just right and had a good amount of flavor, as someone who loves heat, it could have used a bit more, but it was just the right amount for my wife, who isn't that big of a fan of heat. The French toast was really good, just the right amount of sweet and accompanied by some good preserves with tart to balance the sweetness. Service/Ambiance For a Sunday morning brunch party of 2, the wait wasn't too bad. I love the vibe of the place as it gives old school breakfast at your grandma's place. The staff were really nice and service was relatively quick as well. Definitely will come back read more

MeeMa’s - Breakfast Burrito and French Toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Long Beach, California

Friends and I went to the Expo Center on Atlantic Blvd and afterwards we chose Mee Ma's for lunch. I had the scrambled eggs, bacon , potatoes and toast. Everything was freshly cooked and made. It was tasty! My friends had the chicken and waffles. They said they were excellent! My other friend had the chicken sandwich and said it was scrumptious. At first she said she was going to eat just half and take the rest home. There was nothing left to take home! It was so good she just kept eating! The service is friendly and the owner came by to see how everything was. After we were full the owner brought use a tasting plate, complimentary, with their churro french toast, two sauces, strawberry and peach, and a homemade whipped cream! Lovely, scrumptious and so delicious! I am definitely going back to have a full serving! I definitely recommend this local brunch restaurant! read more

Charming, must-try breakfast/lunch spot in Bixby Knolls. The interior is immersive, definitely feels like you're visiting grandma's house with the tube tv, stained glass, and framed vintage photos. I ordered the bacon and avocado omelette. The potatoes were deliciously crispy. However the bacon in the omelette was a bit dry and seemingly overcooked. My bf ordered the Meema's classic burrito. He said it was one his favorite breakfast burritos. I also ordered the guava 'Meemosa', which was pretty good. Might not be our go to breakfast joint, but a fun place to take a friend for the first time. Got street parking right away and waited about 20 mins on a Sunday at 11am. read more

MeeMa’s - Bacon & Avocado Omelette w/ Potatoes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Long Beach, California

This spot just took the #1 breakfast place for me in Long Beach so far. The food is fresh, full of flavor, and you can really taste the quality of the ingredients. A lot of what they serve feels homemade, which makes a difference. The ambiance has this cozy, old-school vibe, and the customer service has been consistently great every time I've gone. Plus, the portions are generous, definitely not leaving hungry. Prices are a bit higher than your typical breakfast spot, but honestly, it makes sense for the quality you're getting. It is a smaller space, so I recommend going early to avoid a wait or just plan ahead and make a little date out of it. There are cute shops nearby, so you can walk around while you wait. My favorites so far: the spicy chilaquiles and the steak and eggs. And listen, I'm not even a big meat eater, but I've ordered the steak and eggs three times in a row... that's how good it is. Highly recommend trying it at least once. read more

Adding a 2026 review, same as 2025. This place is a Gem to the Bixby Knolls LB area. This establishment has it going on with their food and Service. Food is excellent here! I am being honest on this restaurant, excellent food with great adult beverages and great service. We ordered an Avocado Toast along with a main entree of Steak and Eggs. OmG! Soo good. We go here so much that our usual waitress knows what we drink and what we usually order. Lol. Glass of water for me and bottomless Mimosa with Guava juice for wifey. Kudos to Taylor for always being on point. Her service is immaculate! Give that girl a raise :) Also giving big Kudos to Miguel the owner for keeping this establishment pleasantly awesome. Nothing but positive things about this place and location. Keep it up!!! Bravo read more

A small and beautiful restaurant here in Long Beach with great food and fun activities for kids. We came with one child, and they were given crayons along with a menu that included a scavenger hunt (I heard you can get something for finishing it) and a few other fun activities to keep them entertained. As for the food, we really enjoyed it. I tried the following: Biscuits and Gravy - Heavy, buttery, and delicious. I got this with tater tots and it was the perfect combo. Good chunks of beef as well. (4.5/5) Chicken Sandwich - A classic done right. It wasn't too oily and was nicely seasoned. The onion rings were fire too. (4.5/5) The service was great, they checked on us frequently, and the food came out tasty and satisfying. Definitely a solid brunch/lunch spot. Parking: We parked right out front on the street without any issues. read more

The spot was on my bookmark for a while. Since we had to be in the area, we finally got to give it a try. It's a very cute little place, with lots of knickknacks at your grandma would've had. They also had an old school TV that worked. It was showing very old-school cartoons, commercials, and anything you watched on TV and grew up with. Before I get into the food, I wanted to let people with sensitive noses know something. Like most places that want to keep their rooms fresh and clean, the spot has one of those pumps that spears out perfume aroma every few minutes. For me, it was a little too much, and I got on my nerves. They are quite a busy place, which explains the delay of our food. When it came out, though, I was quite happy with the result. I kept it classic with eggs, bacon, and potatoes. The eggs were a color that you normally see when the eggs are farm fresh, so there's a very good outlook. The bacon was Hickory smoked and so good. The potatoes were quartered and very crispy. My sourdough didn't come with butter, but they brought some out for me. The pancake that I shared with my partner was good, a little dense, but quite enough for us to enjoy together. She had the chorizo breakfast burrito with eggs and potatoes, and finished it. It was a decent sized burrito that was good from start to finish. The coffee that she ordered came out a very cute little cup and saucer that you would've absolutely found in your grandma's China cabinet. The service is very good and the seating was comfortable. There's a a lot to look at in the room. If you haven't come here yet, I would definitely give it a try. They also have outside seating, so next time you'll find me out there. read more

I liked everything . Got seated quickly. All the workers were nice. The ambience was that of MeeMa's house. Countrystyle in the middle of the city. O.J was tasty. Mikey Melt and Tots were really good and had full stack of pancakes. I believe my servers name was Mya. Good job all around. read more

MeeMa's is a family owned breakfast restaurant in Long Beach and is perhaps one of the cutest breakfast spots in Los Angeles. Think of this as a retro theme breakfast spot with the ultimate nostalgia vibe like retro TV showing Garfield & vintage antique items. [Parking]: Street parking only, but I had no issue finding an available spot. [Menu]: They offer both classic Mexican and American breakfast items with modern twists such Chorizo Bean Breakfast Burritos, Churro French Toast, Steak and Eggs, Fried Chicken Sandwich, etc. *** Classic Breakfast Burrito (farm fresh eggs, chopped bacon, cheddar cheese, salsa verde and homemade pico de gallo, wrapped in a warm, hand made, flour tortilla - $15.50): I ordered this to-go and it came with a side of salsa. Salsa tasted good but not amazing. Chopped bacon had a hint of vinegary aftertaste from salsa. The portion was big enough to split in half for both breakfast and lunch. *** A solid 3.5-star on breakfast burrito but bump up to 4-star on unique indoor decor vibe and friendly service. read more

MeeMa's is a great local spot for brunch. I would say that it gets the job done, but nothing I've had here has blown me away as I have other places I frequent more. However, the food is solid and not too pricey even though I think the portions are pretty small. Since we came for a late breakfast, I decided to skip the usual items and opted for a chicken cesar salad wrap. I think the tortilla was great and the fried chicken on the inside went well together. I did have to ask for extra dressing to add which was fine. However, I do wish it came with something even something small like chips. I do want to give them a lot of credit for the service. Our waitress and the staff were excellent and very attentive. I think that's so rare to find and they deserve an extra star just for that. I did also enjoy looking at all the decor as it was a nice touch. It's such a chill spot and there was luckily no wait. Worth a visit if you're in the area. read more

MeeMa’s - Chicken Cesar salad wrap - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Long Beach, California

This is the coolest place and why I love living in LB. The decor is so freaking cute omg. The grand majority of the food is made from scratch and you can taste the effort put in. I got the churro french toast. It had the most amazing jam with it. My mom had the chilaquiles. The whole plate was amazing. Our server, Miguel, was spectacular and payed extra special attention to everything. Thank you MeeMa's for this great experience! This will be my go to breakfast spot now. They have bottomless mimosas! read more

We were heading to Midsummer Scream and were looking for breakfast spots on the way. We opened TikTok to check what places would be recommended and MeeMa's was the first to pop up. In the video, they showed the Lemon Blueberry Ricotta pancakes and holy moly it looked bomb and needed to try it ASAP!!! Once we got to the place, we really liked the cozy style it had with memorabilia from back in the day. Upon sitting, the waitress mentioned that it was a scratch kitchen and they make the food fresh. Absolute pointers for that! I got the Bacon Avocado omelette. It was just the right size and the bacon pieces were so thick!! The avocado and pico de gallo was so fresh!! The crispy potatoes had the right amount of seasoning!!! First bite left me in awe!! My boyfriend got the Lemon Blueberry Pancakes and upgraded it to get the griddle which added eggs, sausage, and potatoes. He said his portion was delicious!! He really liked the sausage!! The star of the show were the pancakes. Usually, we tend to eat it after our main course. When our eyes saw it, we knew we had to try it right away. It was so fluffy and warm with the vibrant color of the blueberry compote. That first bite I took had my spirit ascending to the heavens!!!! If we had the space in our tummies we would've gotten a second one!!! Overall, great experience and we would definitely return again!!!! read more

Absolutely loved MeeMa's! We had the most pleasant experience! Husband and I came in with our 4 kiddos and right away were given a box full of crayons for the kids to color and things just got better and better! Coffee was so good I don't even know how many refills i asked for because it was that good lol I ordered the chicken & waffles and their chilaquiles and both were so good! Good food, amazing service and restaurants super cute!! Kids were given some toys after our meal! We will definitely be back!! read more

Went in a Saturday early afternoon and the wait was around 30-40' for 6 people. There's street parking but other small lots around that you'd have to search for. Inside: The place itself is small and doesn't fit a lot of people but luckily a party was 6 was enough. It's cute and quaint for a brunch date. Food: The server was so sweet and attentive although being so busy. The food menu expands to vegetarians and vegans (there's a whole page for you) which was nice. The portions were perfect size if not a little more than extra for you to take home. I'd definitely come again if I'm in the area! read more

This is a very charming and cozy place for breakfast. The interior is very retro and some of the decor really takes you back in time I loved it! The staff seated us very quickly and they were sweet and very attentive! We ordered the Lemon Blueberry Pancakes and MeeMa's Classic Breakfast Burrito! The pancakes were fluffy and soft and absolutely delicious. I loved the whip cream and lemon zest they topped it with as well. I would cut a slice of the pancake and just dip it in everything! The breakfast burrito was pretty big and we were able to share it. It was very tasty and adding avocado to it really topped off the flavor. Definitely recommend giving this place a try! read more

My experience could have been a one off. With that being said, when I got there we were told to wait a few minutes to get a table so they could clean one off. Once we got to the table there was still a little bit of garbage on the floor which kind of threw me off, it was just a few napkins. Our server came over pretty promptly, I didn't catch her name I don't believe she ever told us. When I ordered a side of my breakfast potatoes they came out a little bit over cold I venture to say lukewarm. I asked them to send them back and reheat them they came back they were still cold they had to reheat them a third time which then they came back at the correct temperature. Again, could be a one off didn't enjoy that experience though. My lemon ricotta pancakes were pretty tasty, my friend seemed to enjoy her food. But I can't say anything stood out or that I would be returning read more

Love this neighborhood establishment. Friendly and attentive service with delicious food made with high-quality ingredients. I have a gluten and peanut allergy and they have consistently accommodated each time we visit whether it is subbing the side bread for fruit or switching flour tortillas to corn for brisket tacos. Much appreciated as many restaurants will not do this! Food is made with the best ingredients - fresh squeezed orange juice, high quality eggs, baby gold potatoes, Challenge butter (and not that fake whipped stuff a lot of restaurants serve), and nondairy creamer options. Food is very tasty and prepared well. Highly recommended! read more

Came for father day brunch, unfortunately I had to return my cup of coffee due to the mug being dirty, luckily I noticed before I drank from it. As I was eating my breakfast tacos I found a hair in my food. I immediately stopped eating. Not sure how this place is running as I have never experienced something like this especially not during the same meal... read more

This brunch spot totally exceeded expectations. The blueberry ricotta pancakes were a must-order--light, fluffy, and packed with flavor. The brisket and gravy were delicious, super hearty and satisfying without being too heavy. Even the eggs stood out--their bright orange color and rich taste made it clear they use high-quality ingredients. The atmosphere is such a standout--it has this charming, nostalgic "grandma's house" feel with fun decor that makes it feel cozy and unique. On top of that, the service was amazing from start to finish--so welcoming and attentive. Highly recommend checking this place out if you're looking for a memorable brunch experience. read more

Such a charming and quaint breakfast spot! My friends and I visited on a Sunday morning (party of seven), and while there was a short wait, the staff were completely accurate with the estimated time. Service was outstanding; all three team members we interacted with were warm, welcoming, and took the time to chat with our group. I ordered the chicken Caesar salad wrap, which was fresh and delicious. The only minor downside was that there's just one restroom located in the back, which can be a bit tricky to find and occasionally leads to a short line. Overall, a wonderful experience and I'd definitely come back! read more

I was looking for a place to grab a quick weekday brunch while I was in the area and, honestly, did not know what to expect from a place called MeeMa's. But, clever name I thought! I didn't expect to come inside and get a wave of nostalgia from all of the decor and ambiance (well, I don't know if I get to say nostalgia since it's all from a time that predates my existence), but it definitely has a diner-meets BnB-meets cottage vibe to it and I love it. I would definitely be back for the great service and vibes inside alone. But, onto the food--I came here to try one of their brisket items which sounds super delicious. Unfortunately they were already out of brisket that morning! I settled for their classic breakfast burrito which was really, really well balanced--just the right amount of everything in ratio all in a crispy tortilla. The tater tots give the burrito a nice crunch while the bacon was a bit on the softer side. It comes with a really tasty side of salsa although there is some pico de gallo inside as well. The seasonings/what I think were green onions also gives it a really nice almost baked-potato type essence to it which I appreciated. Somehow, the burrito was not one bit oily/greasy at all which is honestly pretty impressive for a breakfast burrito. It was also plated pretty nicely. All of the items looked really tasty, with a range of griddle to lunch options--one of those places that has just simple enough but wide enough of a menu that you know everything is likely to taste great. I'll be back to try other things--namely that elusive brisket--but consider checking it out when you're in the area! Keep in mind street parking can be a bit crowded especially during a busier time. There was no wait on a late morning weekday to get seated. read more

MeeMa’s - MeeMa's breakfast burrito! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Long Beach, California

We went with someone in a wheelchair and they said 30 min they needed to give us a bigger table and did not update us to it taking longer as ppl after us came and went. They had the tables that have 2 chairs and we could have fit but they said the area along side it was a fire lane so it made sense. Maybe they just can't accommodate wheelchairs but they got us to a 4 chair table after an hour. They wanted to put us in a way back table but people would have had to stand up for him to pass since the place is small. Then the girl sits us and knows how long we waited but sat people after us and the took their order first. Maybe she was not assigned to our table because a man came out and got our order. The water tasted like it came from oak barrels it was different, I've been to a place down the street and that water was closer to what I'm used t read more

If you miss grandmas house this is definitely the place to come to for breakfast. They did an amazing job decorating. Service was outstanding. Polite. Always checking in on us. We split 2 meals. The chilaquiles and the lemon blueberry ricotta pancakes. Chilaquiles 10/10. This dish was flawless. The chips were smothered in that delicious red sauce but still were crispy. Every bite. We added chicken breast for more protein. Outstanding flavors throughout each bite. Will definitely come back when craving chilaquiles. They know how to make them right. Lemon Blueberry Ricotta Pancakes 5/10. I was disappointed in these if I'm being honest. Presentation looks great. Pancakes were not fluffy more on the dense side. I was bummed to not taste any lemon or ricotta. I truly only tasted the blueberries on top of the pancake. The pancake itself didn't really taste like anything. Just my opinion. It was my first time being here. I'll for sure come back. read more

This is an adorable place! It really feels like you are at MeeMa's kitchen table from the linens to the antique decor and the delicious menu. Even if you order the simplest dish, just like I did, avocado toast, Theo attention to detail on the food preparation, the freshness and the customer service is impecable. Think of cutting the avocados from a tree in the backyard Parking can be a little challenging since you have to park on the street and it's a busy area. Nonetheless, worth a couple of trips around the block to find a spot. Enjoy read more

MeeMa’s - Churro French toast & brisket burrito - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Long Beach, California

Went in today, this will be my second time back and I love it even more. Our server was Taylor (manager), and the owner Miguel was also very active during our visit. We had a big group, two toddlers between 1 & 2 years old, & two girls between 5-7 years old; plus 7 adults. Everything was delicious, the kids loved their meals, and the staff. This place is very kid friendly, At one point my nephew was crying because he wanted to run around; the owner Miguel brought over some toys to distract him. This is honestly the most kindest staff I've experienced with children. I ordered the avocado omelette with bacon, a few of the adults ordered chilaquiles, the girls had chicken tenders with fries, one of my brothers had the steak with eggs, one of my nephews had the churro french toast which was absolutely amazing, & my other nephew had chocolate pancakes. At the very end the staff handed the children a toy with candy attached to it, they were so happy. This will definitely be our new spot. It's a small restaurant, I would definitely call ahead of time to make sure there's plenty of space. read more

Decided to try MeeMa's on a weekday. There were people waiting for it to open. The server Miguel was welcoming and sat the 2 other parties quickly. I love the decoration of being at Grandma's and the Christmas music and show on the old school TV. I ordered the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes making it a combo and my brother had the Briskets and Gravy. Both were delicious- though the Gravy had a bit extra pepper but good. Will come back to try more menu items. read more

Went with step-dad before heading to SC game and it was awesome.. parking isn't great but street parking is ok. When you walk in you instantly notice all the interesting decor. There's an old TV way up near the ceiling playing old movies and such, all types of collectibles, like old cereal boxes, and kids drawings.. super homie.. 6 star on the ambiance. Service is very attentive and polite.. zero issues there. Food is tasty and interesting. I had the hangover tacos, which I grinded super fast - tasty thick bacon, homemade tortillas, perfectly cooked sunny side eggs.. loved it. Dad had waffles and eggs - I tried both.. not a huge fan of the waffles as there was a different taste but liked the churro dust that came with. Chicken was spot on - yum! All in all, easy 5 star.. if you're looking for a different experience but have the diner bug, this hit both spots for me! read more
