Best rib eye in town!! The menu is robust, though we keep ordering the same thing becauae it is that good. Empress cocktail for me, hubby smoked old fashioned, giant pretzel to share, ribeye, baked potato and the malva butter cake We keep coming back bringing friends and neighbors with us. Sharing the pretzel and dessert makes it perfect. Service is always great. read more

Such a delightful business. Plenty of parking out front, unless it is during the dinner rush hour or a big game is on TV. We were greeted by friendly staff at the front and caught a drink at the fully stocked bar. By the way, they have a great whisky and craft beer section. We got a variety of different main dishes and shared. Waite staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. We finished with ice cream for dessert (They are connected to the ice cream shop next door). Great ambiance, friendly staff, delicious food, full bar, clean restaurant, well maintained restroom facilities, parking lot, comfortable environment. All and all, an excellent visit! read more

This place was great! Food was on point and the service was even better. Everything we ordered was excellent, but shout out to the giant pretzel which stole my kid's hearts and to the insane Gatsby Sandwich that could literally feed 3 people. The menu was very kid friendly (kids meals include ice cream at the end!!) but don't let that fool you, the vibes were right and I could see leaving them at home for a date night in the future. Portions are generous, so we left happy! Definitely recommend. read more

Went in Saturday night at 4:20 pm for a party of four. Stood in front receptionist for 10 minutes while she was on the phone. When she finally got off the phone we were told that she could not seat us in the restaurant because they were expecting many reservations to show up. We had five more parties behind us by that time. The restaurant was empty except two parties. We ended up at the bar. No issues with food or server, but when we left the restaurant it was less than half full. Don't understand stand it all. It felt unwelcoming at the at front of the house. read more

Another excellent meal! Rib Eye was cooked perfectly to order and was delicious! I love the mashed potatoes but I ordered the baked potato and wow that was a great choice! Aaron is a great server and Kelly makes a fantastic Whiskey Sour with egg white! Another excellent experience! Thank you read more

The overall experience was great. We had the chicken sandwich and the Mediterranean steak salad that were both delicious. We sat at the bar and the bartender Kelly was very attentive and friendly. read more

The ceasar salad was really good. I love that they put freshly shaved Parmesan and crispy bacon on top. The fish was light and crisp and really tasty. We didn't get a picture of the ice cream but it was really good. The staff gave the best service. I love how all of the staff helped each other and were very helpful. read more

Awesome experience here. Every employee was so attentive and kind. I absolutely enjoyed this experience!

Every dish we've had is amazing. Best fish and chips around that's for sure. Their stuffed PorkChop was to die for. The honey chicken sliders were so mouth watering and tasty. We plan on going there again soon. We go every 2 weeks or so. If you go after 6pm you do want to make a reservation. They get pretty packed and for good reason. Very friendly staff and the owner pops out to say hi every now and then. He's always working in the back. Fully recommend this place. read more

This was my first time here, although I've been wanting to go for some time now. We came 11 deep for a birthday, unplanned, and they were still able to accommodate with a smile - thank you. :) It's tucked away, and when you drive by it just seems like a dive bar with a bit more parking than usual, but let me assure you it is anything but that. The food was amazing, they have a mix of Americana and South African dishes. I got the Durbin Style Lamb Curry w/ Papadals, Sambals, and Chutney and it was beyond expectation. My kids got the Eldo Burger combo w/ blueberry cheesecake shakes and loved it, my wife got the Peri-Peri Chicken and was thoroughly pleased, and other got items like the Surf n' Turf and Stuffed Pork Chop. Long story short, every dish we got was phenomenal. :) The ambiance is that of a pub and grill, nice restaurant type seating on one end and a sports pub vibe on the other, there was also some outdoor seating as well. In all it was everything I hoped it would be and more; we will definitely be returning, and I hope to see you there! :) read more

One of my favorite spots! Best Filet yet! Just need to keep the wife from keeping me away!

First time eating here at The Eldo and just might be one of my new favorite eateries here in Long Beach! Great food, portions, ambiance, customer service and taste! Wait, excellent customer service might I say!!!! Never had I had Beef Wellington but this might be my new favorite dish! HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you are visiting The Eldo! read more

Had a late lunch with my little sister and it was great. In times past, parking was an issue but not this time and I think it was due to arriving before 2pm. We were seated immediately, and the server was great. I had Fried Shrimp, and my Sis had Lamb Shanks and a salad. The shrimp was delicious, and the lamb shanks were tasty and fall-off-the-bone tender. The Eldo is also known for their cocktails and my sis had an Old Fashion. I stuck with water since I was the DD. If you've never tried the Eldo, I strongly recommend you do so. read more

We always get great service here. The staff are always friendly and attentive. Our server last night was outstanding. I've always sat at the bar. They play great music. I highly recommend the Peri-Peri Chicken. This dish was dynamite. That peri peri packed a punch of spices right into your mouth. Upgraded fries for mash potatoes. I will never order the Tri Tip Dip again. It was not my jam. I didn't really feel like it had much flavor. Very plain. The only thing I enjoyed eating were the fried onions on top. Upgraded the fries to garlic fries and they came out cold. Wasn't a fan. read more

My friend and I recently paid a visit and we had an amazing time! I opted for my usual filet mignon plate and my friend got the same as well. We also decided to order some margaritas, an appetizer and dessert. The night was going great until my friend asked for some to go boxes and the young waitress said "yeah that's a lot of food" and laughed as she walked away. I feel that comment was just plain out unnecessary and I didn't appreciate that. I've also noticed the same waitress and the hostess eyeing our table throughout the night and I honestly felt rushed. I understand it was a Saturday night and you want to clear tables out fast but please don't awkwardly stare down your tables and say rude remarks, it made a 5 star night into a 3 star simply for the service. Food was amazing as always though and regardless of the low quality staff i'll continue to support this business. read more

It's been a while since my last visit and the Eldo still remains a gem. Delicious food, friendly service in an easygoing setting. We really enjoyed our dishes and look forward to the next time we visit. read more

I had this restaurant saved on Yelp and have been wanting to try it. I arrived on a Friday at 5pm. The small parking lot was full and I had to park in the residential area behind the restaurant. Aaron was our server who was amazing. We had 6 in our group and he kept checking on us. I ordered their Apple Bourbon Spice drink which is definitely 5/5 stars. For food, I ordered their filet mignon nachos. I ate less than half because it tasted weird. Unsure if it was the cheese or something else. Unfortunately, within 15 minutes, I felt light headed and my stomach started bubbling. I knew immediately it was food poisoning. I went to their bathroom and the food came out of both ends. I rushed home (thank God I didn't get a speeding ticket!) and my body continued to disperse the food from my mouth. Unsure if it was the meat, or the condiments on nachos, or cross contamination, but the food made me sick. The servers, service, and Apple Bourbon Spice are 5/5 stars. However, due to getting food poisoning, I will not return. read more

New dish! Braised short ribs with potatoe gnocci! Total yummy "comfort food. Use to have ribeye steak, but it's too big.

We were in the north Long Beach area and this place was recommended by a friend. I was a bit hesitant as I'm not a fan of sports bars but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was much more than that. We were quickly seated and told to scan a QR code for access to the menu. Sadly, cell phone reception was spotty and it took a few minutes to get the menu to open on our phones. During that time, our server came and introduced himself. He was quite genial and very knowledgable about the menu. We ended up ordering the lamb curry, one of their signature dishes since they focus on North African cuisine, as well as a couple of beers. We also opted for the vegetable samosas as a starter. The samosas were delicious with just the right amount of spice. They were identical to what you'd get in an Indian restaurant. I was a little disappointed that they served it with sweet chili sauce which is common in Asian restaurants but not at all North African or Indian. I would have preferred a tamarind or cilantro based sauce which is more typical. The lamb curry came next and was absolutely delicious! It was served over a bed of turmeric rice with a crisp papadum and some little cups of condiments to use as you wish. The condiments included shredded coconut, a salsa similar to pico de gallo, and a killer chutney. That chutney would have been a better match for the samosas. The lamb pieces were tender and the curry was nicely balanced. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal and would be happy to return if we are ever in the area again. I dinged them one star for using a QR code in an area with bad cell reception, which the server acknowledged and apologized for, and for serving a non traditional dip for the samosas. read more

The food did not disappoint. Husband was very pleased with the steak. The service was attentive and the consistent. The ambiance was crowded compared to how it has been in the past. There is more seating space than before, but more seating also means a change to the ambiance from cozy to not so cozy. The parking lot is not quite adequate for the patrons that the restaurant holds. Best to get there early if you have a reservation to find parking. read more

Clean, great food, wonderful staff. Always packed with good clientele and parking can be a challenge but the fact that it is always full is a testament to the quality of the food, drinks (my GFs favorite margarita) and super friendly, professional staff. Pricy but definitely a higher level dining experience. We love the place. Never disappoints read more

Emily and Ashley are amazing. Great service! Emily is an energizer bunny always moving from table to keeping everyone refilled and happy. Ashley is a bundle of sunshine. always happy to greet returning customers and making them feel like family. Both are very professional and a bright spot in my day. They are a large part of why we return. That is not to detract from the food and ambiance which is also part of the overall great experience. I also enjoy ending my experience at the scoop! read more

Had such a fantastic time at Eldo. We sat on the bar area. It was quiet at first and when more customers came in it was super loud, no biggie. As soon as we sat down, a young gentleman wipe the table (it was clean yet it was very nice for him to do that) and he let us know our waiter would be Emily. I had a michelada (it wasn't mexican style, was more like the pepper style I had in Belize), my friend had a whiskey drink and the other hot water with lemon. For food, one had the cod salad with steak, the other the steak salad and I had the french onion soup. For dessert we share a warm butter cake with ice cream and cream and a lemon drop martini. The service was flawless and everyone was working so well together to make sure we had an amazing time!!! Highly appreciate and recommended. Zack, was very good at taking everything away from our table at the perfect time and he was so well mannered. Seriously, the service here is outstanding and very upscale. The decor is amazing as well. A gem of an establishment read more

It started off all bad. I know we didn't have a reservation, but when we walked in, there were at least 10 empty tables. Still, we were told by the person at the front counter--who had a crazy bad attitude--that it would be a two-hour wait. That made no sense, and her energy was just off-putting from the jump. I told her, "No thank you," and went to use the restroom. Here's where it gets strange: the guy in the bathroom (yeah, really) told me to just make a reservation. So I did--right there on my phone--and what do you know? We were seated within 5 minutes. Now, I've had several different dinners from this place before, and they've all been good. That's what made this whole thing even more disappointing. This time, I ordered the pork chop. Big mistake. It was way overcooked, dry, and came with some kind of off mashed whatever that didn't taste good at all. The vegetables? No seasoning whatsoever. Meanwhile, my wife's plate actually had seasoning, so... consistency issues much? For the price this place charges, I expected way better across the board--food, service, attitude. I don't know what happened, but it wasn't a good look. Doubt I'll be back anytime soon. read more

Stopped in for dinner based on their Yelp rating. Crowded parking lot, people waiting to be seated. Took a seat @ the bar. Loud due to the Rams playing(Thursday Night Football). Waited on promptly by Kellyn. Got a local beer, and water while I decided on what to eat. Menu is extensive. I ordered the shrimp linguine based on Kellyn's recommendation. It was absolutely delicious. Next door is the Scoop(Ice Cream shop) that provides some items on Eldo's dessert menu. I asked for the flavors of ice cream, which was provided. I chose the mint chip, and it did not disappoint. Huge portion but also delicious. Kellyn was working her tail off at the bar, but with a smile, and a great attitude. Only reason it's not a 5 star review, was it was LOUD... understandable given the local team playing. I will return next time I'm in the area. read more

The food is always fantastic! But one main thing for me is they make the best Irish coffee in Southern California! We travel all over the US and the only thing that comes close. Our coffee is made in New York, but the reality of this is the elbow is the best around for an Irish coffee! Now, if only I can get them to add a Cuban sandwich to their menu! read more

Went to this delightful gem of Long Beach last night for some delicious food and drinks. I had my favorite alcoholic beverage of choice which is an old fashion and it was made to perfection. I ordered the Beef Wellington and unfortunately had some cooking issues with it. It came out raw and the picture I provided was it returned still a little under cooked. The beef Wellington is one of my favorite dishes, but I know it is also hard to make. The manager apologized and provided a replacement meal. I chose the fish and chips which was amazing and finished the night with the best tasting butter cake I have ever had. The service on the night was awesome. The atmosphere was great. I would definitely recommend this place for a family dinner or just to get out and have a few drinks and an appetizer. read more

I wish I had more time to write a more detailed review right now. We had an amazing experience here tonite from the beginning until the end. Everyone was so welcoming and accomodating. Kevin, I believe he is a manager, spent a good amount of time at our table explaining everything to us first-timers. All of our food was delicious! Their butter cake is a must have! Don't miss out on it, it's very special. I will try to get back here soon with more info. but I didn't want to let the night end without giving The Eldo well-deserved praise! Thank you all so much! P.S. I worked in the restaurant business for 18 yrs (and I am a master at making butter cakes) so I feel pretty qualified to review restaurants/food/desserts. read more

I can't believe there is a place I can go to in Long Beach that serves beef Wellington. Not only that, it's an incredibly affordable (under $50!) beef Wellington. Also... it's so good! It is better than the overpriced beef Wellington I had last time I saw it on a menu. Don't sleep on this menu item at this unassuming establishment, it really is a treat to have in the neighborhood. Love the vibe of the Eldo, the food and the drinks are all so good. A great place to try some South African cuisine as well. read more

As soon as we entered, it felt like we were walking into a lodge at Big Bear. Adequate seating at the bar section, booth-like seating, and open seating. Ordered the fried zucchini, ribeye steak with mashed potatoes and veggies, strawberry milkshake and milk tart. Fried zucchini - You get about 1 zucchini cut in 6 slices, which is lightly battered, but I prefer the crunchy batter. The ranch is a bit on the watery side for me. The ribeye steak was the star for me - perfectly cooked medium rare and melted in my mouth! It was seasoned appropriately and was delicious! The mashed potatoes were standard and steamed vegetables were a bit bland. For dessert, we ordered a strawberry milkshake, which was yummy! It tasted fresh and wasn't sweet. The milk tart was not sweet nor was it tart; it had hints of cinnamon, which I enjoyed. Wide variety of beers and other alcoholic beverages! Ample parking and bicycle stand. You can call ahead and make a reservation. read more

My wife and I celebrated our 19th wedding anniversary at the Eldo. Our server was Natalie, and she was friendly and attentive, stopping by our table to check on things frequently. We never had to wait for long for anything. Of course, the food was the highlight of our visit, and it did not disappoint. We were in the mood for lamb--my wife got the lamb shank, and I got the Durban lamb curry. We sampled each other's entree, and they were both amazing. The meat was tender and full of flavor, and the papadam that served as a garnish tasted great with the sweet chutney. I also ordered the milk tart, a traditional South African dessert. My wife got the caramel ice cream. They were both amazing, and we could have easily shared one dessert. We ended up taking half of the milk tart home because the ice cream would not have survived the hot ride home. The patio area was pleasant and shaded, especially with a nice breeze in the early evening. There were many friendly dogs in the outdoor dining area, providing entertainment for all the diners. read more
