Pictures of the croft at the hanger
Georgiana M.

I've come here about five times and now I'm finally reviewing crops has never disappointed. The food is top notch. They use excellent ingredients and they're very creative in their preparation. The servers are always so polite and friendly. They smile and they're willing to give you everything you want. The ambience is like being at the airport you have so many things to choose from in you're actually in a airplane hanger. So creative.

The hanger on a Friday night is a festive environment. Outside the hanger there were many families, kids, random adults, swilling beverages, a picnic-like atmosphere. We cruised into the LBX Hangar and decided on eating food from the Kroft. We opted for Portobello mushroom fried and the classic fries which were brown gravy, cheese and parsley. Being that I don't make brown gravy at home and I don't make french fries at home, these were gooey delicious and lived up to their slogan of "comfort food reinvented". The food came out quickly, and they used text message in order to get the notification to us that our food was ready. Claire was our helper at the cash register. Being that I was clueless upon arrival, she was very patient and helpful with us. It's not health food but it was a very welcome treat on a Friday night with my family.

The Kroft is a restaurant located in a food hall. There's plenty of communal seating. I got the regular wagyu burger for around $11 and it was very lack luster. It truly didn't taste like anything special and I felt like the portion was small. For what it was, the price wasn't justified. At the very least, it tasted like a decent burger. Since the restaurant is in a food hall, the food was presented in a paper bag. It did not come with utensils nor napkins, so you may want to ask them for some when you pick up your order. They do have happy hours Monday-Friday 3-6pm with 50% off sides, beers, and wines. It might be worth checking it out then.

Great spot for a quick bite! Wagyu smash burger was great! Order the jalapeno cole slaw to add to your burger! It was soo good! Its located inside a huge food hall! Plenty of parking!

It's going down.

It was good. A little pricey, but not a bad total investment for a huge portion of poutine and a double smash burger. The smash burger tasted just like an In N Out, just crispier and richer. The poutine was large, the gravy was well-spiced albeit on the salty side, and a generous amount of cheese curds. It was more than I could finish, in a good way. All in all, I would come back. I would just need to space out my visits to rest my heart and my wallet.

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.

Braised beef poutine

We got a kids smashed burger, braised beef poutine, and cheeseburger eggrolls. My daughter loved the kids Smashburger. Although it was over priced for a small kids burger. The braised beef was also very good, but the cheeseburger egg rolls were lackluster and also overpriced. While the food was overall good, the wait was a little ridiculous. It took 20 minutes for us to get the food. They must have prepared the protein first because that was just like warm by the time my order was ready.

The porchetta sandwich is the thing that will keep you coming back here. I've tried other items on the menu but it's the porchetta that I keep thinking about and wanting again and again.

I really liked the porchetta sandwich I had here! Nice quantity of pork and very flavorful! You can get it as a combo as well, but I just had the sandwich. This is a cute food court area at the LBX in Long Beach with a lot of seating and a variety of places to eat. Service was good.

"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.

An example of my receipt.

Good people. Friendly service. Had a great time. Happy hour It's definitely worth it. If only they had even a basic smashburger on happy hour, I'd buy that every time. Food is prepared, hot and fresh. Overall, if you don't want to eat here, there's definitely other places that you could choose to eat so the ambiance worked well.

I happen to go the day before its last day and…read morethey were serving a limited menu and thankfully my favorite wagyu smash burger was still available. To say I'm super bummed is an understatement. I am so thankful that I happen to stop by for lunch and visit this location one last time. The same manager was there on the last day as when I went the first time two years ago. The staff there was always amazing, friendly, and the food was incredible. I think it was the Chinatown location that didn't work for them. However, the good news is that they do have three other locations and if you have never been, I suggest you check Kroft out if you love burgers, especially smashed. The other locations are in Long Beach, Anaheim, and Rancho Cucamonga. I wish them luck and I will definitely be stopping in their other locations if I am ever in the area.
