    American Breakfast
    Russ L.

    Village Cafe on Viking Way is a quaint, classic diner. A place where you know the food is going to be good when you see that table of retired guys over in the corner solving all of the world's problems over breakfast. The California Omelet that had bacon and Ortega chilies and its delicious. The American breakfast with a nice thick slice of ham is also fantastic. Our friendly server recommended a Big County Skillet. We quickly understood why this was a popular order. The gravy came on the side, and it's great to choose how much to use and it's tasty. The Cinnamon Roll is also highly recommended. Expect a crowd, but go get a table, sit down and enjoy. Friendly staff.

    I love Cornbeef hash but the one here wasn't really to my liking. I do not like peppercorn and definitely not in my Cornbeef hash. I also like it with rice, not an option here. It was ok. I'll have to try something else when I go back. Omelette was a 3/5 goo but not great. Pancakes were 4/5. Id come back for that. The cinnamon roll was next level. 6/5, it was that good. Cold brew flight was ok. Nothing to write home about . Service was top notch. Busser, Host, Server were on it. I never set foot inside because I sat outside. I'm still salivating over that cinnamon roll and tempted to go back right now. Thank you for a good experience. See you soon.

    The pancakes here are so light and fluffy and delicious!!! Located in the cutest, quaint downtown area. We were seated quickly in first available outside - but they had space heaters for each table so it was perfect! Our server Olivia was the sweetest and super helpful and attentive. We will be back soon!! Gingerbread chai latte was sooooo tasty! Mimosas and Bloody Marys are super reasonably priced as well!

    I love Village Café. Everything is always fresh delicious. Tasty excellent service food today. I had the best Machaca and eggs in my life with a side of beans my wife had pancakes and bacon and hashbrowns and I don't know what my grown-up son had. I forgot what it's called but everybody enjoyed their food thank you village Café.

    If you're looking for a breakfast spot that not only serves delicious, healthy food but also treats you like family the moment you walk through the door -- look no further. From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted with genuine smiles and warm hellos. The staff here remember your name, your favorite order, and even ask how your day is going -- it's like visiting family (the kind that cooks amazing food!). The menu is packed with fresh, wholesome options -- think avocado toast done right, smoothie bowls that taste as good as they look, and hearty scrambles loaded with local veggies. And somehow, they manage to make it all feel indulgent without any guilt. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with a neighborhood vibe that makes you want to linger a little longer over your coffee. It's clear the owners care deeply about community, health, and good food -- and it shows in every detail. Whether you're stopping in after a workout, grabbing a bite with friends, or just treating yourself to a solo breakfast date, this place hits the spot every time. Do yourself a favor and check it out. Places like this are rare -- and once you find it, you'll never want to let it go.

    Time and time again this place amazes me! I absolutely LOVE The Village Cafe. . Wish I knew about them sooner. Go check out this cute little cafe with great customer service and great food! I promise you won't be disappointed. I will let you know that there just might be a wait when you go, but don't be discouraged... wait patiently for a delicious meal and service with a smile. I love that they are on top of everything. I've never had to wave someone down to ask for a refill nor a togo box.. So go show them some love & thank me later Oh & I can't forget ... if you go on the weekends, the Chile Verde omelette special is out of this world!!!

    Great service. Never went without coffee. All staff members were friendly. Went with a Thursday Special, The Fitness Meal. Simple and delicious. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Clean and spacious.

    Found this place by happy accident. Was being taken out to a birthday lunch and we were supposed to go to Dilly's. Dilly's is closed on Mondays. My friend said let's go to this place a couple of doors down. Lucky for me. We went in and were seated immediately. The bus guy, Rudy took our drink orders. I wanted iced tea and asked if they had any special iced teas. Rudy recommended the peach iced tea and steered me in the right direction. It was very tasty and refreshing. My friend who was taking me out for my birthday lunch was so happy, as was I, to see a beefeater sandwich on the menu. I love a good beefeater, especially if it has Ortega chili on it. One of us ordered a Reuben and one of us ordered the beefeater and we split them. We got coleslaw and french fries for the sides. The sandwiches were delicious although I took most of my Reuben half home just because I was stuffed. My friend didn't like the coleslaw, but I did. It was kind of sweet and I might have tasted a hint of pineapple. My friend noticed that the last cinnamon roll was in the case on the counter. We ordered it. Our wonderful waitress, Gina warm it up for us. It was a great finish to a great meal. There's plenty of seating inside. The restaurant is cute, the staff work well together and there's a nice vibe.

    The food is so good! I had the breakfast platter and took half home. My husband had 2+2+2 with biscuits and gravy on the side. The staff is so friendly!

Our order: -Onion rings (the right batter to sliced onion ratio & delicious seasoning); -the french fries- crispy and the right amount of salt seasoning *dipped into their Jalapeno ranch, and you will be left smiling!* -the Works: What a burger! I love Portabello mushrooms, caramelized onions, and Persian cucumbers, so when I read that on the menu, I knew I had to order this, and I am not disappointed! This hit the spot. The smash patty topped with my favorites made for a perfect burger filling party. -the Don Chendo burger- the salsa Don Chendo on a jalapeño-Cheddar bun - culinary innovation at its finest! For non-spicy eaters like myself, you can eat this. This is definitely tolerable spice with a delicious flavor that overrules any "heat". The buttery, softness of the bun with the cheddar and jalapenos melted into it compliment the flavors of the patty, red onions and Chendo sauce. Having a burger is a rare craving for us, and thankfully our taste buds led us here this time that we did, because we were left, not only satisfied, but can safely say that this is one of the fewest Exceptional burgers we have tried thus far. Burgers are huge too! You def get more bang for your buck here. Staff was very welcoming, friendly and attentive toward us. We truly appreciated the warm greeting and them making sure we felt comfortable with their product deliveries coming in/out of the restaurant while we ate. Not too big & not too small of a place. Ample seating booths make for a comfy social occasion. We highly recommend to All! & will return again!

Refried beans; crispy tots; vegan cheese; avocado; mushrooms -- hearty; filling; and layered properly. But what really makes this burrito stand out are the house-made sauces. The salsa has the perfect heat; and their vegan dipping sauce elevates the entire experience. You can taste the intention. Now let's talk about the burger. The vegan burger is not an afterthought here. It's juicy; well-seasoned; and balanced. The texture is on point; the toppings are fresh; and it holds its structure without falling apart. You can tell they care about execution. Between the house-made sauces; the fusion flavor profile; and the consistency across both items; Sideburns earns its spot. If you're in Long Beach and want vegan comfort food done right; this is absolutely worth pulling up to.

Their entire identity is built around metal imagery, references, album-inspired burgers, and the culture created by touring metal bands around the world. That aesthetic and influence is a huge part of what draws people in, yet there's seemingly no appreciation extended toward the musicians who helped build that culture in the first place. The food is solid, but if you're going to base your business around metal and profit from the branding and influence of those bands, it would be nice to see some level of support or acknowledgment given back to the artists themselves.
