Really good burgers and service was great. My regular smash burger alone was a 3.5/5. We also ordered the BBQ Pulled Pork Smash Burger, too much meat for me but was advised it was 20/10 lol . We ordered a side of Garlic aïoli. When I tell you the best decision ever!! Sooo delish! Took our meal over the top!! 10/10 recommend. read more

Seen they had smash burgers, had to try it out. Was not disappointed, really good burger. I wish they would have put more grilled meat onions & pickles but I'll ask next time. Got the sauce on the side.. wasn't a fan of the sauce I ended up just adding mustard when I got home. Not a fan of the fries next time I'll choose another side instead of fries. Definitely recommend. read more

The Kroft is a solid establishment. I got the original poutine and the wagyu cheeseburger smash-burger. I thought the cheeseburger was really great, I enjoyed it a lot. The poutine was fine. There aren't a lot of poutine places in Los Angeles, so kudos for that. But, when I get poutine I look for a nice thick cut fry with very very flavorful (homemade even) gravy and squeaky cheese curds. If I had friends that wanted to try poutine and couldn't make it to Québec I might take them here, and it was nice to have a taste of nostalgia. read more

Excellent food and service , great burgers and the fries are always crisp. Huge fan of their spicy mayo as well.

I saw people talking about this on facebook so off to the hanger to try one. I got the wagyu double spicy jack which was super good with the spicy jack cheese and grilled onion and jalapeno garlic mayo gave it a nice kick.. Next time i'll get the combo with fries but if you're looking for a solid burger in LB this place will take care of you! I will definitely be back to try it again because it was that good! They have wine and some beers on tap and bottles. There is a soda machine in the back. The girls running the front were super sweet and answered questions i had about the menu. Food came out in about 10 minutes. Lots of cool items here to eat! Don't sleep on this place! read more

After passing by The Kroft in the LBX on numerous occasions, I finally went for it. Little ashamed that I didn't try them earlier. I got the cheese steak and it was great. Comparing it to an authentic Philly would be like comparing apples to oranges so don't expect the authentic thing here. It was unique and delightful in its own way! The highlight was the potato roll which was super light and soft. I wish the meat was seasoned better and was kind of bland on its own but it was thinly sliced and mixed in with a good amount of onions and Swiss cheese that boosted the overall flavor. It satisfied my cheese steak craving but I have my eye on the Wagyu Smash Burger and Classic Poutine Fries for my next experience at The Kroft. read more

Great food with reasonable prices. In an area with a fun atmosphere. Both inside and outdoor seating options.

Went to celebrate the 5 year anniversary tonight a the Kroft. My coworker told me about it and It was my first time at this particular restaurant. I had the anniversary specials, 5 wagyu double smash burger and $5 classic poutine. It didn't disappoint!! I even received a $5 off coupon for my next visit. Service was courteous and fast. I will be back. read more

While exploring the Hangar with my friend for lunch, I noticed a large ad for Kroft's wagyu burger! I was excited since I've been enjoying their poutine options for a while, so I decided to try the Wagyu Smash Fries. It honestly reminded me of a fancy Flying Dutchman on fries from In-N-Out. While I think I'll stick with my usual choice next time, the wagyu patties were still delicious. Service was fast and there's a lot of seating around the Hangar. I really enjoyed the lively atmosphere on the weekends, but the parking lot gets extremely busy! read more

The service here is great, the cashiers are very kind and accommodating but my problem is with the food. Ive tried it twice now thinking it was a fluke (it wasn't ). I got the country fried chicken poutine and it was a solid ass/10. I was super hungry and was hit with a 30 minute wait. When I finally got the food, i was ready to completely DEMOLISH it but the first bite was so underwhelming that i got more pissed??? The gravy was so bland and a little grainy and the chicken tasted like it was barely seasoned. You know when you're so hungry that everything tastes good? This was not one of those moments. Maybe it's just me though LOL #nohate #lovemylife read more

The good: My husband's favorite food is burgers so when he sees a giant picture of a burger he cannot help but crave one. This establishment had just that. This is a burger and poutine spot inside Long Beach Exchange (dining hall). We tried two burgers and some fries here. These are the types of burgers you see in photos that are all brown and orange with melted cheese that look overly decadent and could cause a heart attack. They offer other comfort foods as well like sandwiches, beer, cheese curds and mac and cheese. There's plenty of outside dining next to here. They offer a lot of fun dipping sauces. The bad: The burger lacked fresh vegetables and would've benefited from it. The interesting: I've been to their location in Anaheim as well. They offer catering. Hot take but: I've never been a big fan of poutine because the gravy and sauce make the fries soggy. Plain fries with a dip is definitely my preferred e read more

Never had a hot sandwich for less than what 1 meal would cost in the Bay Area during inflation. I had the beef melt and this was the BEST thing I had in my trip to SoCal. Curry katsu poutine was also excellent (sadly, got too ambitious and got full). Portions are generous here! Half a sandwich is already filling for me. I would love to see a branch in the Bay Area. Honestly think it can be a great hit as there is not really a place that serves hot sandwiches and poutine in general. This will forever be my go to place in Socal!! read more

First time at The Hangar at the Long Beach Exchange. Family came here after playing pickleball at nearby Marina Vista Park. The Hangar has a good variety of eateries, so our group of 5 each chose dishes from different venues. A fan of poutine, I had the Wagyu Smashed Fries from The Kroft. The dish was ready fairly quickly. It was a good-sized portion, but the meat was overcooked and dry. The "secret sauce" didn't compensate. Maybe the BBQ Wagyu Smashed Fries would have been a better option... read more

Really good comfort food! Located in the Hanger along with various food vendors, The Kroft highlights their poutine fries (fries, gravy, and cheese curds), burgers / sandwiches, and beers. I ordered their wagyu smash burger and for $14, it tasted pretty great. It had a lot of meat, cheese, grilled mushrooms, and greasy goodness (just call it umami). Their classic poutine was $10, and I tried it since I've never had poutine before. I can't compare it with anything, but my friend got the fried cheese curds and that... was sooo good! The food came quickly in less than 10 minutes and everything was pretty great. If you want a casual comforting meal to enjoy, I recommend visiting The Kroft read more

I initially came to The Kroft at the LBX for a Yelp event, so I knew it was good. This time around I got the cheese steak and it was great. It was unique and delightful in its own way, not the OG style from Philly with yellow cheese! The highlight was the potato roll which was super light and soft, there was a nice mix of onions and Swiss cheese, which helped boost the overall flavor. It satisfied my cheese steak craving, I also suggest trying the Wagyu Smash Burger which I had last time, excellent also. They have and adequate beer selection or fountain drink machine to wash it all down with. You can expect fast/friendly service and they have a text notice for when your food is ready. read more

The smash burgers are off the chain. If you're able to try the fish sandwiches which are seasonal, they're fire! Best burgers in Long Beach with the exception of 5 Guys. read more

I have been eyeing this ace for a while and had some time today to go check it out with my wife. Their motto is comfort food re-invented but I would say they took some classics and elevated it. Let's start with the poutine. Now poutine on its own is pretty straight forward, good fries, some brown gravy and cheese curds. Then top that with what was basically like mom's pot roast and that's a whole other level. To say these were good would be an understatement. The service was pretty quick, maybe 10 minutes or so to get our food and neither me nor my wife were disappointed in what we ordered. I had the braised beef poutine (aka potroast and poutine) and she had wagyu smash fries. I may have to try the actual smash burger there next time because the patties were delicious. I also tried their cheeseburger egg rolls and those were ok, but not something I would go back for as a must have. The restaurant itself is located in the hangar at lbx so seating is where you can find it and I really like what they've done with that area. So Ambience is kinda relaxed. Will I go back? Definitely! read more

We were in Long Beach for a conference and had heard about the restaurants in the Hanger. After taking a walk around, it was actually hard to decide where to eat because there were so many great options. We ended up ordering from The Kroft, largely because the Wagyu doublesmash burger looked so appetizing. It did not disappoint. Sometimes smashed burgers can end up only being crispy. That's where the wagyu beef was really a plus. This burger was both crispy and juicy (seriously, how do they do that?). And the fries were very crispy, which I love. My wife got the baked potato with chili and cheese, which also was excellent. Both of us said we'd come back here again and it would actually be difficult to choose another place (although there were many other places I'm looking forward to trying). read more

Mediocre food - nothing special. Service was great - server answered our questions about the menu.

Excellent Poutine! What is it... well at the most basic level it's fries topped with cheese curds and brown gravy. I believe they double fry the French Fries to make them extra crisp, so that they can handle the gravy. I got the braised beef Poutine and it was wonderful. It was also topped with pickled onions to provide a bit of contrast. I am for a side of ketchup because after a while you crave a bit more acidity. They serve alcohol. They have basic soda drinks and also craft soda drinks such as Lemon Berry Acai, which I loved. Note this is located in the metal Hangar with no cellular reception nor any decent WiFi. So plan to eat in their outdoor seating area if you want reception. read more

I had visited this place for a friends birthday. Out of all the food places here I decided to try this place out. It seemed like there was many people that gave this place high praise, but I didnt have as good of an experience. It was mainly the wait and the service with the mess up of my order that quickly changed the mood. I had tried to order multiple different things like the cheeseburger egg rolls, Braised Beef Fries, and the Braised beef Baked Potato. My order took the longest out of all my friends, even though I ordered first. When I finally got my order, I took my food to the outside patio to start to eat, and found out that they gave me the wrong order. I went walked all the way back inside, and there was no initial sorry, they just took my order and talked amongst their team members about the mess up. The same thing that happened to another gentleman who came back, possibly switching up our orders. I would at least let us know what is going on, order was messed up, let me make you another one.. After I finally got my food I was able to finally eat it, it was decent, but don't know if I would pay that much again for it. read more

I should remove a star because the egg rolls only come in 2 or 3 pieces. I think I could easily eat 2 or 3 dozen. Grabbed a 3 piece as a snack and it was fire. Going to go back tomorrow for either the birria smash or the chicken parm sandwich. This was my first time - amazing!!! read more

I always passed by The Kroft because I felt like it was never all that interesting. When I'm in The Hangar, I typically go to Poke 2 Grill or Marinate Korean BBQ. However, my sister insisted she wanted to try out The Kroft. The staff was okay. They all just seemed very tired and out of it. Obviously I don't expect them to be jumping of joy when a customer approaches them, but seeing them out of it and gloomy made me kind of gloomy. We got the BBQ Cheeseburger Poutine, and it looked pretty interesting. The fries itself were your typical fries, nothing special about it. The toppings itself was interesting. There are slices of hamburger patties in it which I did not expect. The overall poutine itself was okay, I was dreading finishing it towards the end. It just didn't taste the best to me. This definitely isn't a one person meal. I had to share it with my sister because if it wasn't for her, I would not be able to finish it. I'm unsure if I would eat at The Kroft again, but it did make me realize that I should eat at the other places in The Hangar to see what I like and don't like! read more

The Kroft caught our eye on Yelp, and it turned out to be a charming spot in the hangar in Long Beach. I tried the braised beef sandwich, which had nice, crispy bread, but I expected the beef to be more flavorful. It's a solid sandwich and I liked the fresh vegetables included. My boyfriend ordered the Wagyu smash fries, which reminded us of In-N-Out's animal style fries--perfect if you love loaded, greasy fries. My personal favorite was the cucumber mint drink; it was really refreshing! The service was great, the food came out really fast and tasted fresh off the grill. read more

I was told by the Kroft staff that Yelp is no longer accepted for orders, which can be frustrating for customers who have time constraints.

Food - This is one of the busier establishments in the Hangar. I finally had a chance to try their food specifically the porchetta sandwich. For me it lived up to the hype. It's was great to have different textures and the contrast with fresh arugula and salsa verde. Fries were good though and so was the slaw. Service - friendly and helpful with choosing side orders. They text you when your order is ready. Ambiance- The great thing about meeting or dining at the Hangar is that there are many options. It's perfect for meeting with friends or dining with coworkers because everyone can order whatever and then dine together at the many seating areas. read more
