    The flies are a real mood killer while you wait for your food. I finally stopped by to try the smash burger and chicken sandwich. Both were really good. The star of the show was definitely the sauces. That dill sauce is fire. The lemonade was tart. Definitely a shocker. Chill spot.

    location!

    I love the Win-Dow. I think they have some of the best smash burgers around, at a good price, and with the perfect menu size and offerings. I tried their strawberry milkshake and brussels spouts. Of course, it was so good. I will have to get a shake every time I come here now. The shakes are thick!! The brussels sprouts were also SO GOOD, crispy and zesty. I would definitely opt for these sometimes as a side, especially since I don't love their fries.

    So I was in LB to get some sun at the beach with my partner and dog. After we were done we checked out The Win-Dow for a bite to eat. I tried their Fried Chicken Sandwich and Cheeseburger. The chicken sandwich was nice & crispy and the cheeseburger was juicy, well seasoned, and soft! Also their Herby Ranch sauce was good too. The one item that made the experience was their Dipped Cone. Coming out the pick up window I saw a Green coated dip with a fudge swirl and Mint chocolate chip Ice cream that was just outstanding. Not too sweet nor over powering of mint. Overall I was happy with my first meal & dessert, I would come back again. The place also was nice too.

    Seamless ordering with shockingly value priced food. Everything here is delicious. Smashburgers are great with good complimentary dipping sauces. Nice thick and creamy shakes. Brussel sprouts are good but could use a hint of honey or something to break the slight bitterness of it. The chicken sandwich has a great crunch with thick moist meat on the inside. Fries are decent as well. Good simple spot with quality foods and fantastic pricing, check em out

    Found out about this small gem from my brother this is his spot! It's very busy late night but the service is fast. Nice cute place, outdoor seating , music and the food was hot and fresh and the workers are so sweet. I will definitely go back.. don't forget to try the kale salad and Brussels sprouts

    I visited this burger joint located at the corner of 2nd street, and while the aroma of the burgers was enticing, we decided to indulge in dessert instead. We got two dipped ice cream cones, and they truly satisfied our cravings. The servings were bigger than we anticipated, which was a nice surprise, and the ice cream was delicious and refreshing on a warm day. The burgers & fries being served from the kitchen looked and smelled fantastic, so we're likely to return to sample the burgers next time. It's a friendly place for a quick treat and an enjoyable experience overall.

    Heard so much about this place! And we always see it, as we are driving by. I came here for the 1st time, last year, with my friend who lives nearby. Yummy! And affordable. I came back another time, I think, with my son. And then, last week, with my husband. Not sure if it was my taste buds but this time, the burger was kind of too salty. The strawberry shake was yummy. The fries were good too. Maybe I'll give it another go, next time. Parking is a little tough, sometimes, but Cute spot though! Gotta try it at least once, guys!

    Two beauty burgers, brussel sprouts w ranch and two long pulled shakes!

    Loved loved the Beauty Burger, crispy fried Brussels Sprouts with Herby Ranch dip, amazing Strawberry shake! But I really loved the venue. Hang out with wife and pooch eazy peezy, totally casual drive-in in So Cal style (Long Beach), tons of parking and near Sheldrakes for an iced mocha after! Life is good!

    Well I drove 40 minutes to try Midday on a Tuesday! It was just ok. The burger was cooked perfectly but the option for no onions wasn't a choice. Not a fan of onions at all. The flavor was ok, the fries taste like they'd been fried in warm grease so they were oily. I was unaware to ask for condiments and in turn I could taste the entire meal! Staff was friendly. Only advice I'd give is to move the trash can that's right next to the pickup window. My daughter and I had the exact same order and she said it was good!

    The Win-Dow Burgers My coworker Kat told me I needed to try Win-Dow because, in her words, they have the best smash burgers. After an appointment a couple miles away, I made the drive over, and I am glad I listened to Kat. First of all, parking gets a star by itself. The lot is not that big, but with the amount of people coming in and out, it worked surprisingly well. I got a spot right away and it seemed like everybody else was able to do the same. No long wait, no circling around, no hassle. Then I got in line to order. The setup is cool. It is like they open up the garage doors and serve you from there, which I guess is why it is called Win-Dow. Whatever the reason, it works. The staff were courteous, efficient, and made the process easy. Now to the food. My burger was smashed the right way but still juicy, which is exactly what you want. The meat tasted high quality, the cheese was good, the bun held everything together, and the whole burger just came together really well. The fries were crispy exactly the way I like them. I also ordered the Brussels sprouts and asked for them crisp with the house dressing instead of ranch. That was a great call. They forgot them at first, but when I went back in they apologized and brought them out right away. No attitude, no problem, just fixed it and kept it moving. For dessert, I was originally going to get the dipped mint ice cream, but the guy in front of me ordered the salted caramel and said it was really good, so I followed his lead. Great decision. That salted caramel was top tier. From parking to burger to dessert, Win-Dow delivered across the board. One thing to know is that there is no indoor seating, so you will be sitting outside. But there are restrooms in the back, and it seemed very family friendly. I saw a lot of people there with kids and families, and everybody looked like they were having a good time. This is the kind of place that makes you want to come back. Even while I was there, I was already looking at the menu thinking about what I want to order next time later in the week. Kat was right. Win-Dow is an easy 5 stars all day.

    Another review from now several months ago that I wrote a draft for last fall, then never finished it... it's like in-an-out, but craftier. On one hand, $8 sounds like a good amount of money for a fast food (double) cheeseburger - on the other hand, Sideburns makes my favorite smash burger in the city, but their basic smashburger is $11, and that's not even a double burger. Anyway, one double cheese burger was quite satisfying, it was more filling than it looked at first. It's exactly what was advertised - In-N-Out, but craftier. Great buns, great meat, a classic cheeseburger... a bit salty though (it really needed ketchup to offset the saltiness... so I asked for ketchup and got some and added it, which improves it greatly :p. As with In-N-Out, I didn't buy the fries and thus couldn't comment on them. Mostly because the burger was quite enough food, though, in this case.) Being more of a quick stop place, obviously there isn't any alcohol, but in addition to $6 shakes (assuming they haven't gone up since a few months ago - I didn't get one, but assume they're also great), they had lemonade/arnold palmers for $2.50 - actual lemonade, not from a mix. I did get an arnold palmer, and it was, expectedly, great. A lot of the seating is outside around the side of the building on a bar-top-type setup - I though that was pretty neat, though, it's a nice area, as long as it's a reasonable temperature, which it is more often than not. That's why we all like living in California. Was especially nice right around sunset. p.s. Unlike In-N-Out as far as I know - you can order ahead if you know when you're going to get there, right from them, and then only have a small wait to pick it up, which is pretty nice too.

    Super classic burgers and fries, but without any of the stomach aches from the grease or heaviness. I loooove their shoestring fries, and their lemonade is so yummy and tart. I am not used to very simple smash burgers, but I didn't mind mine at all! I definitely would have wanted double the patty though because a regular burger and fries weren't enough for me lol. But I did pay for what I asked for, and I appreciate that their prices are pretty accessible. This feels more like a lunch than a dinner spot. Especially since this is more of an open air kinda joint. Would still come again!

    A yummy lemonade to go with my burger!

    A five year-old decided this is where he wanted to go for his birthday dinner, so here we are. I had not been to one of these locations, but I do appreciate the reasonably priced burgers! This is a simple window order and pick up place with limited seating. Kind of a throwback to a burger spot of yesterday year... I got the chicken sandwich which was very tasty and everybody else said their burgers were wonderful. Great place to come for a quick burger if you're in the area. Also, quite a few other locations, I'll have to try the one right next to me in Hollywood!

    Hi do you guys have grass fed beef?

    Hi Cherida, The beef used in our patties does not come from grass-fed cows, but we do use a high-quality proprietary blend created specifically for our burgers. Hope that helps!

    Anyone know what oil they use for cooking meat and the fries?

    Hi Ali, we use canola oil. Hope that helps! :)

    Can you order ahead of time for pickup?

    Hi Gwen, Yes you can place an order through our website for pick up.

    It's been a while since I found a New American restaurant that I thoroughly enjoyed everything I…read moreordered. Saint & Second just hits the spot for me! For starters, we got the Parker House Rolls, which comes with truffle butter, local citrus honey, and grana padano cheese. These rolls were so fluffy and flavorful. We also ordered the hummus, which was so rich and creamy, and the oysters from the raw bar. For the main, we ordered the Smoked & Glazed Pork Chop, Fish & Chips, and the Wedge salad to share. And let me tell you, that everything was so good. The Smoked & Glazed Pork Chop came with a whole show, where staff would bring out the dish in a smoke-infused glass dome and open the dome when presented on the table so we can smell and see all the smoke. Not only was it beautiful to look at, but it tasted just as beautifully. The meat was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the rainbow swiss chard, cheddar grits, candied pecans, and avocado honey helped balance out all the juiciness from the meat. They use haddock fillet for the Fish & Chips, which was fried to perfection. The Wedge Salad is what actually knocked my socks off! This was one of the best wedge salads that I've ever had. It had your key ingredients: iceberg, buttermilk dressing, red onion, crumbled egg, tomato, bacon gastrique, blue cheese, dill, chives - but something about this salad was different! It was so refreshing, flavorful--just everything you want in a dish. We ended the dining experience with their Peach Cobbler Hand Pie, which came with streusel, pistachio crumble, salted caramel, and vanilla ice cream. Can't wait to go back when I'm in the area!

He immediately complied and proceeded to then antagonize him by telling him people eat there. He said yes I understand and got off. She proceeded to turn back MULTIPLE times to keep going. She then said you and your party can get out or I can call the cops. When I asked the clear manager in his outfit, requesting who the fake GM was, he along with the Bartender on shift played stupid as to supply her name. Margarita clearly was not a GM but felt that she needed to keep creating an unnecessary situation. The situation was already de escalated when he complied with what she asked. Do better with your staffing saint and second.

Cool, they can make it. what I got was a cup of coffee in a to go cup (even though I was dining in) with milk and a foam, so really what I got was a flat white. the other coffee ordered was a latte which was pretty standard I ordered the chicken sandwich ($12) which comes on a biscuit and a side of fruit, to round it out I also ordered the yogurt bowl which is yogurt and granola. When the sandwich came out it looked rather disappointing. The biscuit itself is small, probably the size of a Pillsbury dough biscuit, and the chicken wasn't much bigger. nothing else on it like a green, coleslaw, sauce, etc. just these two items. However, it did come with a side of a honey butter. the side of fruit was about 8 pieces split between pineapple, melon, and grapes. the whole sandwich was dry, which can be expected from a biscuit, but this was just too dry for me. the yogurt bowl($8) came in a small bowl that had a large flaring, basically the entire dish was large but the bowl portion was small. I eat yogurt everyday and the amount you get is probably half the size of a standard serving of yogurt (170g) and it was sparsely sprinkled with granola. my partner ordered a chorizo burrito ($15) and while she raved about the flavor the size of it was laughable, especially considering there are plenty of spots in LB that serve double or even triple the size of this burrito at or near the same price lastly, and the most disappointing of all, was the cinnamon roll($8). they were on display at the register and figured yeah I want one of those and instead of giving it to me right then and there it was brought with the rest of the food but it was not warmed up, which made me question why I waited for it. It was rool temp, burnt, and hard. I do want to try other items but the price you pay for what you get, especially considering this experience I had, is off putting.

As far as atmosphere, it's a very pleasant cafe to eat at! Very open and airy layout with a decent amount of seating. The service has been moderately friendly. Maybe we'll try their drinks and pastries again simply because we live so close, but it's certainly not our favorite local spot for those items.
