Great Food.
William C.

PSA A Group of us Played Pickleball today, After that we Stopped by Riptides on the Long Beach Boardwalk for Lunch. I had the Ahi Tuna Wrap with a Red Cabbage Slaw, Avocado, And a Sesame Sauce. The Tuna Was so fresh and delicious and there was plenty of It. I couldn't finish it so I put the rest in the fridge and now I'm finishing it. Lol. Just wanted to give them a Shout out because between the Food the ocean and the People watching, We All had a Great afternoon.

Bright pink and turquoise picnic tables are positioned outside a beachfront eatery on a boardwalk, with a glass-enclosed dining area and city buildings in the background.

The perfect beach lunch! If I'm spending the day at the beach, I usually will stop at Riptides for lunch. It's right on the boardwalk so it couldn't be any more convenient. They also have a good amount of tables lining the boardwalk, and also a small indoor seating area if you're looking for a break from the sun. The people are always friendly and the food is good! My personal favorite is the chicken bacon ranch quesadilla. Now that it's fall and it's not beach weather, I'll definitely be stopping for breakfast or an acai bowl as a break on my boardwalk biking days. Keep in mind it's cash only, but they have an ATM on site!

Great place on the boardwalk to refresh yourself with a drink, eats, music and shade from the sun. There are 2 order windows for when it's crowded. I had the organic brewed coffee. Just what I needed.

On the beach and hungry, check this spot out for fast service and quick eats. Atmosphere was very relaxing with colorful chairs, umbrellas on the boardwalk and a section on the sand as well. Covid rules, CASH ONLY!!! and MASK UP!! and guess what yelpers, check in and get a discount just for being a yelper. whats better than that. also parking right in front was free. we ordered a array of items all with french fries and it was mhmm mhmm good. Their portion sizes are great considering they're located right on the boardwalk. We ordered a shrimp basket, shrimp tacos, chicken fingers, roasted corn, and a crabby burger that looked gourmet. Check out my pics and see for your self.

Riptide Burrito
Fran D.

Always an amazing experience here! We were in town and decided to come by after a run on the boardwalk. It was a beautiful day so we sat a table outside. The lines to order were long but moved quickly. The young lady who took our order was so sweet & smiling the whole time. We both ordered a Riptide burrito and eye opener smoothies. The burrito had eggs, spinach, bacon, beans, guacamole & cheese. The wonderful staff bought your food out to you at your table. The burrito was a generous size with salsa on the side. It tasted so fresh and delicious! The eye opener was so thick and flavorful with cold brew coffee, banana, almond butter, almond milk & cinnamon. A friendly man even came by clean our table when we were done and ask how everything was. We were told he is the owner. It's not often you see a restaurant where everyone is genuinely happy to work there. This is the kind of place we need to support!

So I absolutely adore the beach. I also get that it's not everyone's cup of tea*, but having grown up on the water I can't help myself. I also know it's crazy important to show up early to ensure a good position in the sand**. This being my first time in Long Beach, I was stoked to get there early and check the place out. I was not disappointed. Solid boardwalk, deep sandy beach, and water that was surf-ready. It being ~8 am though, we were pretty hungry. We first tried the little food truck area, but that was very much shut down, save one little coffee cart staffed by a youngster who clearly didn't want to be there (again I get it, and yes I know I sound like an old man...c'est la vie). As I was waiting for coffee to be poured from the aforementioned teen, I told my group to head up to a spot I knew was open and was only a block away. If only we had parked one block over all of this could have been avoided. You see, the locals, as usual, know what's up, and Rip Tides was very much jamming. And for a good reason. The menu is expensive, and filled with awesome stuff like breakfast tacos, and fish tacos. It being so early I went with a BEC on a bagel which was way better than I expected from a surf taco-like shop. Eggs a little run, tons of meat and cheese, and a NY bagel. Score. The place is cash only, which I don't love but the prices were super reasonable, and everything we got was absolutely on point. If you're by this spot in LB and looking for a great place to kick off the day or escape the sun for a bit then look no further. Just make sure to bring some cash, the ATM they have charges 3$, ____________ *I get it, the sand, the blazing sun, etc etc. **e.g. water adjacent, yet close enough to run up to the closest store to restock the claws.

chicken BLT salad
Gabby R.

My favorite spot to eat on the Long Beach boardwalk! The food here is pretty good, not spectacular but it's an incredible location and a great casual option if you are nearby or looking to have lunch/dinner on the boardwalk. They are also always playing the best beach music, even in the off season! I really like their chicken BLT salad, tacos, and smoothie bowl. I'd skip the regular smoothies and get one from another spot nearby, there is better in the area. Overall: good food, great atmosphere, check it out if you are in the area!

Tots & The Refresher
Jennifer H.

Stopped in for a quick bite to eat. Got the tots and refresher juice. The tots were amazing! Hot and crispy and came out super fast. The drink was not my vibe but that's not their fault, it just wasn't for me, so I can't take off stars. The lady who took our order was so sweet & helpful. 10/10 for tots by the ocean!

I have no idea when this place opened but I remember for years I was saying why is there no food on the boardwalk? This is exactly what I envisioned! Seriously they read my mind lol. I actually wanted to come last year but my boy was a little baby :P I'm happy we waited because we got to sit at a table and he loved it. People watching is his thing. The fries were delicious. My son probably would have loved them when he ate fries :P he's now in his I won't eat the fries but I love ketchup so yeah he had a ton of fun with that. This is just the perfect place to go in long beach for some quick food. I am so happy Long beach got something like this.

Disgusting owner who verbally harassed two girls, do not support this business. - Four people, including a child with pink sunglasses, pose in front of Riptides 1156 on the Long Beach Boardwalk, with a building and blue sky in the background.
