    10/10 the spicy fish sandwich was soooo good. It was flavorful, just enough spicy in the sauce and it came out HOT, crispy. Everything about it was great. Sad it will discontinued I hope they bring it back. This was my first time at the Kroft. The service was really friendly and pretty fast.

    Classic Poutine
    Alisa B.

    This is the closest I can get to authentic poutine from Canada! The texture of the fries are always perfect and the gravy is never overly salty. The cheese curds melt just fine and the portions are perfect for a mid-day snack. I've never personally tried the other "elevated" or loaded poutine options, but the Classic Poutine never steers me wrong!

    "Leftover" Poutine
    Lisa Y.

    It's been a little while since I've been to The Kroft, but wow have they upgraded their menu! I was honestly really impressed with the food and will be definitely coming back again soon! During the holidays, they have a "Leftover" Sandwich and Poutine that truly feel like a whole Thanksgiving feast packed into one sandwich/fries! The sandwich has turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, fried onions, arugula, turkey gravy, and garlic mayo on ciabatta bread. The "Leftover" Poutine is similar but has french fries, cheese curds, and parsley instead of the arugula and garlic mayo. A lot of ingredients in one, but they all work well together! They usually offer it during the last couple of months of the year. They also have a new French Onion Smash Burger which is amazing! My new favorite item here! It has two wagyu beef patties, provolone cheese, grilled onions, garlic mayo, and French onion spread on a parmesan crusted brioche bun. And the best part is, it's served with a side of au just for dipping! It's so yummy! All of their smash burgers are good, but I think this one is the best! In terms of sandwiches, I'm also a fan of their Chicken Parmesan Sandwich as well! Their poutines are always a classic and what put them on the map. I love that they have a lot of options to choose from--I think they usually have around 10 or 11 different ones to choose from. This location is located inside of Long Beach Exchange (LBX), so once you get your food, you find a table and sit where you want. When you enter the main entrance, they're in the left hand corner, so they're pretty easy to find!

    French Onion Smash Burger
    Criss N.

    This place is the underrated lunch gem of Long Beach. I think the Kroft gets lost in the noise of The Hangar, but it is genuinely so good. I came specifically for this French Onion Soup Dip Burger, which was gloriously messy, indulgent, and delicious. It came with a side of au jus as well. I have tried a large portion of the Kroft's sandwiches and poutine and they are all great. I would highly recommend this spot out of all of the options at The Hangar LBX.

    This is located inside The Hangar. The ambiance is somewhat noisy because its a food court, and there is music playing out of their sound systems. I ordered the chicken parmesan sandwich and a soda. The weight of the sandwich was a hefty one. There was so much cheese and sauce! The chicken was extreme crispy, juicy, and cooked perfectly. The sauce and cheese complimented the chicken! it was the best sandwich ive ever had. Service was nice at the ordering station and was kind enough to get me a cup for water. They ask for your name and you will pick up the food when its ready. Their craft soda is located in the back of their area and its Pepsi products. Ive been told there is never anything bad to eat at The Kroft. You can never go wrong with anything you order. My husband got their onion burger that came with some au just. Didnt get a photo because he devoured it on the spot! He also said it was just right and he wants to come back and try other items on their menu!

    Loco Moco Poutine
    Melanie N.

    Got the loco moco poutine and enjoyed the flavor of the meal. It has a hamburger patty with crispy onions, fried egg and gravy with cheese curds. Not too salty and bold flavors. Portion was fair for $14, quite shareable. Service is fine, there's quality in the food, but takes a while to receive the food. Ambiance is a quick pick up and go situation...lots of seating indoors and outdoors, but does fill up quickly if it's a busy day

    Solid place. The serving good, and the food is decently portioned. During my latest visit, I had dessert, and the ice cream was good. I'll definitely visit again.

    Every bite was bursting with flavor, and the prices made it even better. Great food without the guilt of overspending!

    Beef Melt
    Ty D.

    I was in the area during the lunch hour and decided to check out The Kroft located at The Hangar food (aka LBX) hall in Long Beach. The menu consists of a few specialty sandwiches including a smash burger and also various poutines and loaded fries. I decided on the Braised Beef Melt which is braised beef, jack cheese, pickled red onions, on a toasted ciabatta roll along with an order of fries. They make the sandwiches fresh upon your order. It took about a good 15 minutes to get my order. The beef melt didn't diappoint. The beef was flavorful & tender and loved the pickled red onion on the sandwich. The fries were crisp and tender but slightly overly salted for my taste. It was a very satisfying and filling lunch. I'd definitely come back and try the poutine on my next visit. Service was friendly and helpful in making my decision on what to order.

    Strictly for the garlic fries, and damn they were so good. This is what all garlic fries should taste like. Fries were piping hot, crispy and had so much flavor. I still dream about these guys. Will definitely be back to try their burgers.

    Fried cheese curds and secret sauce, IPA, and kids Mac And Cheese
    Katrina N.

    My bf & I decided to eat here as he's never tried this place. And I've had a good experience from the other locations I ate at. The service was good. The lady helping us was nice & friendly. We both wanted something small. I ordered the kids Mac & cheese and he ordered the fried cheese curds. My Mac & cheese was very liquidy. All the cheese sauce was in the bottom so I had to keep mixing as I ate. Eventually if you let it sit & by the time I got to the bottom, the cheese stuck to the noodles & it was that creamy texture I was looking for. My bf took a bite of the cheese curd & wasn't impressed. He didn't get that expected "cheese pull". I took a bite & got a baby cheese pull. I noticed it wasn't as warm / hot like when you get it freshly made. As we were sitting & chit chatting, the cheese curds eventually became hard & chewy. This place has a cool ambiance, although it can get rather loud on a busy day, like when we went on Sunday as there was an outdoor market going on outside. You can grab your food from here or any of the food vendors and choose where you'd like to sit.

The pineapple added to what's basically a Cuban style sandwich sounds different at first, but it works perfectly. The balance of sweet, savory, crispy, and smoky was spot on. Everything tasted super fresh and the bread held everything together perfectly without getting soggy. My original plan was to eat half and save the rest for later... yeah, that didn't happen. Ended up finishing the whole thing because it was that good. Service was friendly, food came out quick, and the whole spot had a really chill local vibe. Definitely a hidden gem if you're in the area. Highly recommend this place and I'll for sure be back to try more off the menu.

Soppressata, mortadella, bacon, extra onions, pickles & tomatoes. A satisfying, filling sub sandwich that made for a pleasurable lunch. A nominal wait, the meat were freshly sliced, and assembling the sandwich with plump & crisp vegetables, it was worth every minute of delay. The cashier was friendly & a pleasure to deal with, too.

    Heard about Dilly's Sandwiches having the most unique rotating set of beers on tap in Long Beach,…read moreso had to come to try it. The taste portions were very reasonably priced, allowing to create your own flight (or two). Specifically scheduled an early afternoon to come to the Lakewood Village neighborhood of East Long Beach. My wife found an angled parking spot right in front. It wasn't too crowded inside and the four of us found easy, comfortable seating in the brightly decorated dining room. One places and pays for the order at the counter, with the proprietors being very friendly and engaged. They brought out our beers after the pour, and the sandwiches a bit after (since each is individually carefully made). Beers: - Northern Lager [Oxbow] - ($5 for 13oz pour) was clean, crisp and a hoppy aftertaste. - Infinite Hotel [The Wayfinder X Bierstadt] (marked as $3 but charged $4) is a rice lager and was the favorite of the group for its drinkability - Winteruption [JK's Farmhouse] ($3) is a cider with very strong maple syrup overtones: never tasted anything like it. - Hyper Paradise [Rare Barrel] ($4) - saison and ale with mango and passion fruit. I liked this beer very much. - A Place Like Home [Pure Project] ($3) - Nitro poured Extra Special Bitter. - Double Negative [Grimm] ($4) - Imperial Stout, which I really enjoyed. - Amongst Friends [Sante Adairius] ($4) - a cherry saison, unusual and was glad to sample. A lot of work was put into creating this flight, with the careful pours and markings to make sure I knew what was what. I really appreciated the opportunity to sample all of these on-tap. In terms of the food, the group as a whole really liked them, though I guess I wasn't as impressed with my two samples, mainly because it used non-descript deli meat in OK quantities, heating them up when necessary. Hot Beef ($18) was my wife's, and it had been griddled with cheese to form a crispy lattice. The Ham and Cheese ($16) was served cold and had potato chips inside which my mother-in-law liked (saving the other half for home). Our friend and I split the Hot Turkey ($16) and Pastrami No 19 style ($20). The pastrami meat was piled high and the cole slaw was crisp and good, but was served cold (should have read the description more closely) and mediocre rye bread broke apart quickly. The Hot Turkey ($16) was served on ciabatta that had been grill pressed for a long time, creating a wonderful crust as good as any sandwich I've had. But the filling was OK, using standard turkey breast slices from a loaf and an ok stuffing...using hand carved turkey would have made a big difference here, but understand it's hard to do. Strangely, even though it's a pickle adorned shop, each sandwich just came with an ordinary pickle spear, what one would expect from a diner, not a deli. And the prices are on the higher side, especially with no sides and most not being particularly ginormous. But I loved how each sandwich used different breads, and how some of them were toasted very well. And having the opportunity to try these unique beers made it a really good experience.

There is seating indoors and outdoors. It's minimal, but somehow we always manage to find a table. The service is consistently great and the owner is wonderful.

The new owners fell in love with the place, so you can expect it to be well taken care of and to remain just as charming. Parking is street only, so read the signs carefully so you don't end up with a ticket. If you go on a Sunday there are no restrictions or time limits, which makes it even better.
