    The burrito I went for vs. The burrito I got
    Nancy V.

    When we got there, there were only two other parties seated. The guy at the window told us he'd be right with us to take our order -- no big deal, he came back about 7 minutes later. We placed our order, paid for parking (45 minutes), and got settled in thinking breakfast would be out soon. Big mistake. It took almost 50 minutes for two breakfast burritos to come out. I know because I had to add another 25 minutes to my parking just waiting for the food. When the burritos finally arrived, they looked nothing like the ones promoted on their social media. They were small, flat, and looked like they were missing half the ingredients. Considering they only have one breakfast burrito and a vegan version on the menu, it's not like we ordered the wrong thing. Overall, the experience was just bad from start to finish -- painfully slow service, underwhelming food, and definitely not worth the time or money. I left feeling disappointed and honestly ripped off. (I'm sharing pix of what I went for vs what I got)

    I love the beach, and while Long Beach isn't the beach that I usually go to, I'm so glad I did today. This little gem is right on the beach, just steps from the water. The menu is pretty big and had quite a variety, especially for a place with a walk up order window. There are sandwiches and wraps, salads, breakfast, burritos, ice cream and Italian iced, and even a puppy patty for your dog. Even better, they serve beers, hard seltzers, wine, cocktails, and even champagne. Grab a table in the sun, or, like us, under the shade of a palm tree. The area is corded of with an orange rope, and there is axe throwing (no worries--plastic access) and cornhole. We ordered antipasto salad, a white cheddar cheeseburger with chips, and, of course, the Labubu mocktail. We enjoyed all!

    Was so happy to see that they had vegan options available. Their menu is quite varied and I liked that there was something for everyone. I even noticed that they were quite thoughtful like a water-bowl for dogs, etc. This place is a nice place to hangout by the beach and the playground is just next to it. We ordered two vegan burritos and an oat milk coffee. The burrito was very delicious, beyond my expectations. Polite staff. We are definitely visiting them again!!

    Love this place so much! The locations is beautiful and sits right on the beach. Always great music they often play thievery corporation and bob marley! The service is great, prices are right and love the food! My personal fave is the beef bowl it's fresh and served over rice with steamed veggies.

    Love this spot! It's a perfect blend of scenic views, hearty and freshly cooked food, and a spot for a casual drink after a nice walk on the beach. It is a bit pricey but that's not surprising given that it's literally on the sand (warning: chairs and tables are indeed on the sand, dress appropriately) and since it's freshly made it takes about 15 minutes to get your food (so get a drink while you wait or read a book). Perfectly between Gaucho and Belmont Brew if you want to do a beach walking beer/food tour!

    Been here a couple times when they 1st opened and they're still here. This is my distraction place since I jog along the beach and this is at either my 1.9mils or 4.9mils - tempting to stop by for a cup of joe or some breakfast sandwiches...the joint is right on the sand and on the beach plus next to parking lot, restrooms, rental place and kid's playground. Also it is tiny distance away from the LB museum. The seating is on the sand and got several games and the view of the Pacific Ocean and under palm trees. Also you can see the Queen Mary plus any cruise ship that dock right next to it. Service is great & friendly, and if you expecting fast service, this wouldn't be the place since it's more of the layback, chill, relax type of place. There is a sign that said "we don't make fast food, we make great food as fast as we can." Quality wise, not bad at all. Price

    An amazing find

    Under new management, no longer have the Soju Marg. Music is way too loud, could barely order. Not sure what they are doing. Hope they figure it out.

    Decided to stop by here for lunch after dropping some friends off in Long Beach. This is a small and casual restaurant right on the beach. Food was good overall. Really enjoyed the quesadilla with the spicy sauce that came with it. The cheese steaks were good but not great. My friend felt the chicken one missed the mark and could have been seasoned better. The chips that came with the cheese steaks were crispy and not oily. Service was quick and friendly. There's a large metered parking lot right next to the spot. Overall, this is a good spot for a casual lunch during a day at the beach.

    We had a beach day with a friend recently and she grabbed us coffees from this spot when we first arrived. Their iced coffee is SO GOOD!! And silly me forgot to pack lunch. At around 2pm me and my daughter were getting hangry. So I walked over to this spot to pick up some food. I got my daughter a cheese quesadilla and I ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich. Both were delicious. Their little patio seating area is so nice. Great location. The service was fairly quick and the gal at the order window was nice.

    I can't believe I haven't been here before. I love walking at this beach and I'm disappointed I haven't never noticed it before, I have definitely been missing out. Thanks to Long Beach walking club instagram i got to try this place for the first time! I ordered the breakfast sandwich and it was delicious. Also, I'm shocked on how affordable the food is... I mean it's a cute shack by the beach!! Oh.... And they sell alcohol. I got to enjoy my meal with a guava mimosa... possibly two haha I hear the breakfasts burrito is a must so I need to come back to see if it's true! Cute brunch spot with lots of space. This place needs to be more hyped up!

He was kind, polite, and carried himself with such warmth -- and yes, those curls were beautiful. He set the tone for the entire experience. Demetrius seated us, and our server Joe took great care of us. For starters, we ordered the wedge salad and the meatballs. Both were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. For our entrées, we had the grilled salmon with bok choy and mashed potatoes, and the steak sandwich with French fries. Everything was delicious, well-seasoned, and cooked just right. The ambience was wonderful. They have a full bar, and you can watch the chefs prepare dishes right from your table, which adds to the experience. I also appreciated seeing the general manager actively running food and engaging with guests -- leadership like that shows. Another thing that stood out was how clean and organized the restaurant stayed. The moment a table was vacated, it was cleared and reset within minutes. Everything looked spotless. There's so much on the menu that I want to come back and try. I highly recommend this place. And last but definitely not least -- thank you, Demetrius, for noticing my parking time had expired and getting me that extra 15 minutes. You saved me a ticket. You're a true gem. I'll be back to Saint & Second very soon.

The Bake Mac & Cheese is a must-order--the crunchy topping is easily the best part and gives it such a great texture. We also tried the Grilled Provoleta. It's a seared provolone with portobello mushrooms and pickled peppers; it doesn't have a typical "cheese pull," but the flavors are incredible and it feels surprisingly light for a cheese dish. The 1st-floor outdoor patio is super comfortable and dog-friendly, making it the perfect spot to relax. Highly recommend if you're in Long Beach with your pup!

Tell me to meet you somewhere and I'll be there. Simple as that and less stress for me. Anyways, that's how we ended up at this place. Trying to find happy hour with food in the area was somewhat a challenge. Either they were finishing up or it wasn't that interesting on the menu. Of course some places offered amazing drink deals but no food. We ended up here actually across the street still looking up for places but the rooftop patio was what caught our attention. The restaurant itself looked bare as there was no one inside. Still on the early side but noticing people going in and then heading up stairs. After a few debates on here and there, we gave up and found our way here. Checked in with the host, letting him know that we just wanted happy hour upstairs. It was about two flights of stairs which the place looked quite industrial with all the metal beams and stairs. Downstairs was beautiful but completely emptied. Everyone wanted to utilize the rooftop patio as it was beautiful out. We were greeted by someone which mentioned to us that any bar seating was available. There was a section towards the back that was pretty lively. I think it was booked for a group. Instead of the bar area, we asked to sit along the rooftop counter that looks out to the street and building across the street. Way better view and perfect way to spend the afternoon hours. Staff were all pretty sweet and very friendly. Whatever we needed they were they to help. Both the regular menu and happy hour menu were quite impressive. As we just wanted HH, it was given. They had drink special for 10.00 and small bites for 10.00 as well. Didn't hesitate and started off with some drinks. The red sangria with mixed fruits was a nice clean and refreshing treat. Tasteful without that aftertaste. And the Le Pistolet Fumant, a delectable tasty drink with mezcal with a hint of pineapple. And other well drink that was perfect for a nice afternoon. HH drink special was quite tasty to start off. Food wise, started off with an order of the Caesar salad, simple but delicious. Fresh crisp Romaine lettuce and slices of Parmesan and crouton bits. Nice crunch with each bite. The dressing, wow pretty tasty. And an order of the Mac and Cheese . Most places it's either a hit or a miss and let me say it was a HIT. Quite cheesy and full of flavors that a second order was had. A dish I do recommend for HH. We also had an order of the Brussels sprouts which was excellent. A nice glaze and crunchy with chunks of house cured pancetta. Nice big chunks I must say. Lastly the beef sliders with Wagyu beef patties. Honestly, this was the least favorite of the dishes we got. You would think it sounded great but it was quite tasteless and nothing major to report on. Served with brioche bun and shredded lettuce and tomatoes and a lemon aioli. I had high hope for it when I saw the group next to us order it but it was a little disappointing. Overall, the Mac and cheese, Caesar salad and Brussels sprouts were all hits. The sliders, disappointing. Other items on HH didn't look too ingesting for us but it was for other people. The rooftop lounge and bar area was the place to be when we were there. It picked up real fast after we got seated. Picnic style tables being occupied by large groups before HH ended. Just the rooftop alone was great and beautiful. It a place that's good for a drink and meal with friends. Downstairs was beautiful but seemed more of an intimate experience. Overall, it was a great choice for a meal during HH.

They had a somewhat smoky flavor and the outermost leaves were crunchy and a nice contrast to the soft inside of the artichokes. They were also served in a tangy sauce that complimented the vegetable well. My friend's favorite item was the macaroni and cheese.

How can you be out of the item highlighted as the special in the middle of the day? When the place is not packed? I tried to order the lobster roll and again, out. I was tempted to order their short rib poutine since in theory it sounded good, but at this point I tried something simple I would hope they have in the kitchen chicken and waffles. The plate came and it looks good. If you look at the picture at the bottom of the chicken you can see a dark something. As I lift my chicken I found a huge burnt piece of breading pictured next. On top of the chicken is green onion I think? Who eats that with chicken and waffles? If I am wrong, a garnish is totally unnecessary for this dish. The chicken was moist. There are spices in the flour breading I can see but hard to taste what it is. The waffle is a hard pass for me. The waffle was crispy which is good, but also thin and dry and I couldn't taste any sweetness until I put maple syrup on it. The syrup came out warm which was nice. It's clear watching the people at the bar this is a local hangout. The chicken and waffles were $19 which if I was in the bay I think it's about right, but I think a little high considering the level of food I got. Supposedly this place is packed specifically on Sundays. The server doesn't know why? I'm not interested to even try to come back for a second chance and just be told sold out of the menu.
