“when we want a tasty meal, we come here. always delicious“

“Stopped in for lunch today after seeing a post on Instagram. It’s nice, clean and right on the corner in the shopping center. It looked like the parking lot was packed but there was plenty of parking upon further review. The waitress was so nice and sweet. (I hate that I didn’t ask her name) I got the Loco Moco and the Beignets. Both were REALLY GOOD. She actually didn’t charge me for the dessert because it didn’t come out the way they liked……. It was GOOD to me!! I am not a fan of creamy, mayonnaise, ranch, béchamel, hollandaise, type of sauce so I chose the safe route this time. It was delicious. Very filling and full of flavor. I will be back again and I did invite my friends already. Thanks Chef! Congratulations!!“

“This restaurant is clearly one of the finest place to eat in the region. Whenever I visit this place I am very glad. They hold their high standard service and the topmost level of dishes they give. You no doubt will love this restaurant. Warmly recommended.“

“Amazing French dip sandwich! Juicy tender meat, with caramelized onions dripping with cheese - huge portions! The pickled cucumber side was real tasty. I even tried my wife's 5 cheese grilled cheese, and it was also great. Service was a bit slow, but no biggie.“

“Fun, tasty, fast, and reasonably priced.“

“We had a 40th college reunion there. The ambience was perfect, food was great and the staff were wonderful! Everyone had a great time!“

“Literally one of the best cheeseburgers I’ve ever had. They delivered 25 min after my order was placed. Fries were still crispy!!! Very delicious.“

“I’m a local LB resident and today I took my family visiting from UK to LBX Hangar for dinner.

We decided that the hangar was really crowded and stumbled across the 908 restaurant. From the moment the staff offered us the chance to sit outside and enjoy the atmosphere to the moment we left, we were delighted by the food choices and the service.

Their mule is amazing - the freshly ground ginger is a special touch and the whole drink was so good my “one drink only” wife had another.

My sister and I both ate the Shrimp Pho Sandwich - a unique combination of flavors and definitely recommended. The goat cheese and cauliflower appetizer was fantastic.

Their tiramisu is definitely worth ordering - even without any room left.

The best words go to their staff however - the team that helped us were amazing, Attentive and eager to please. John the supervisor was instantly on top of all issues, however minor as was Ethan.

Great work, all - we will be back …“

“Everything very tasty, especially Noble Club“

“Wow! This is a hidden gem! Had a few hours until our flight out of Long Beach. Found this amazing spot for a coffee and was absolutely blown away by the owner(Shannon) and the menu! We ordered 2 coffees a sandwich and a cinnamon roll. The coffees were amazing, the owner made me a custom coffee. I asked for 'Something Sweet' and the drink was so good we ordered a 2nd one. Cinnamon roll was hot, sweet, and cream cheese frosted. Licked the bowl clean! Breakfast Sandwich was made with fresh ingredients and was so tasty! We will plan our future trips to this Airport just to have this coffee and cinnamon roll again! 10/10! Oh and the reggae music jamming is the vibe!!“

“Dined here this evening. We enjoyed some Cocktails to start then ordered Beef Tartare, Shrimp with Veg and Roasted Carrots. Entrees varied from Pasta to Ribeye steak and Burger. All delicious. The Carbonara needed more bacon but that was the only issue. Desserts were great. The Espresso wasn’t hot enough for my guest but overall we enjoyed the evening celebrating a birthday. Will recommend to my friends for sure. Would recommend a reservation as it was very busy by the time we left at 6.30 pm“

“Claire’s at the Museum is aesthetically pleasing. The view is gorgeous, and the food is delicious! Spent my birthday here and it did not disappoint!! ❤️“

“To John Hansen, My wife and I would like to thank you for such a lovely evening. Chez Bacchus represents the “True Expression of a Dining Experience”. Starting with the welcoming staff at the entrance. John, your hospitality is the beginning of the joyful experience. The restaurant is so elegant. We enjoyed the vaulted ceilings with wood beams. We enjoyed the large window at the kitchen area so you can see the Chefs at work. We got to sit next to the impressive wine rack display. The restaurant’s ambiance wouldn’t be complete without the soft background music. Our waiter, Issac, was a delight. He provided us with his expertise in choosing our wines, appetizers, entrees, and desserts. It was a pleasure to meet to give special thanks to the Chef, Danny Le and Su Chef, Donald. Their expertise is why we had an amazing and delicious dinner.“

“This was my first visit to this restaurant and I must say I was VERY pleased with my experience. I am vegan + food allergies and I was accommodated with care and excellency. The manager personally made my meal (lettuce wrapped veggie tacos) and it was delicious!!! I meant to take a picture. They were really good and satisfying.

Dietary restrictions: They have a gluten sensitive menu and can accommodate you if you have dietary restrictions.“

“Food was super I had the lobster linguini and calamari was very very good and the service spectacular“

“First timer says really good need to go back and try something other than the lobster roll, just for a variety😋“

“Great service. Decor was chic. Service on point, not rushed. Great place for a date.“

“Good service good food 🥘!“

“Had a great time friendly place“

“Like Old Town Orange (formally The Circle) blocks have been closed to accommodate outdoor dining. We really appreciate that!! Incredibly friendly wait staff!!“

“The best shrimp n grits I've ever had.“

“Nick’s food and service doesn’t disappoint! Menu options are great, and they’ll take a classic comfort dish such as a meat loaf to a gourmet degree. Service is impecable too. Worth every dollar you spend here in every aspect! They have my respect and heart! ♥️“

“They are good. I try them whenever I'm around“

“Awesome place to visit for the entire family . Great service , food , and price . Also , super kid friendly and they accommodate dietary restrictions as well !“

“I have to admit, I wasn’t expecting the food to be this exceptional. And that is because sometimes chain establishments are not great. However, Camille suggested a couple of dishes for us and they did not disappoint and in fact I would’ve licked the plates if it was publicly appropriate. I highly recommend the biscuits and gravy and short rib hash!!!!! Omg so delicious!! I can’t wait to come back for more!!!“

“Hi love it it it it it it it“

“Everything was fantastic from the food & drinks, to the service, to the ambiance & music. We absolutely loved everything. Ally & Noah were absolutely amazing! The entire staff was so accommodating and kind! Definitely going to be back!“

“Great service, nice atmosphere and friendly servers“

“Very good service and the food was delicious“

“Yummy 😋 first time ever, in the heart of 2nd Street and I can't believe I've never been here. I havent eaten beef in a decade, unsure but had a taste for it today. 🤩 We shared all the goodness, short rib pizzzzzzza, BBQ scrumptious and so juicy burger, along with the poke tostada, which was piled high with aoli and fresh tartar.

The staff sets this place apart, all are welcoming, inviting and make you feel like your neighbors, including recommendations that melt in your mouth. Had to get a piece of swag memorabilia ie; truckers hat.....so much gratitude. They always say it's not just the food, yet who was a part of the taste test that matters.......highly recommended, scrumptious and delicious 😋“

“Came by on a late Friday afternoon to grab some lunch and enjoy the beach a bit. There was a rope course playground behind the building, cornhole & a big jenga block set for the kids to enjoy while we waited for our food. We got the burger, chicken, spicy burrito. None of it was mind-blowing but still very good. The chips that came with the burg were interesting, we were unsure if they were fried in-house or not but still decent if they were. The individual that served us at the window was on-point with his service, brought out our drinks for us and gave me a bag to use for leftovers. Would recommend if you're in the area.“

“While traveling from Idaho we were fortunate to have brunch with our dear friends in Long Beach before heading out on a cruise. They took us to this quaint, fun restaurant. Spectacular service, delicious food, Hazelnut coffee, yum! Thanks for the very cool stickers!“

“This is a fun place to go
The food is good. We had the lobster mac n cheese. No real complaints, it was just ok. Also had the patty melt which was pretty much just basic. The server was friendly but seemed to be a bit short handed. Open area and accomodating staff, tvs on the walls. I judge based upon mac n cheese, so might try again some day.“

“Absolutely loved macho nachos, Korean style wings, hot dogs with bacon excellent“

“Delicious breakfasts, oh my!“

“I took my very picky 95 year old mother for dinner. We were warned by a friend to order in advance, which was key. She had an enormous fried chicken dinner, which while a bit pricey was delicious. We did use napkins to soak up the oil on the plate first.

I had the Fish and Chips, and it was delicious. Ordered my mom's chicken ahead by 25 minutes. So we only had a five minute wait for her food, important since "hangry" is her middle name.

The one downside which basically ruined dinner for us, and other diners, were a family whose kid was literally screaming, laughing at the top of her lungs for 45 minutes straight. The family sat at the farthest end of the restaurant while their noisy daughter was two tables away. Screaming.

We couldn't hear ourselves talk, and she was literally louder than everything else in the restaurant. The staff were young and hard working, understaffed if anything, and the manager should have had a chat with the family about quieting the child or leaving. It was unconscionably unacceptable behavior by the parents. We figured the daughter was 5-7.

I'm the father of two boys, one of whom was "spirited", but we never allowed that behavior. We either didn't go out with them until they showed they could behave properly, or in the case of a meltdown, we promptly took them outside till they cooled off. We had more than a few dinners where one of us sat in the car with one of boys! Family friendly does not mean "out of control" playground behavior.

I suppose it's not fair to ask the young kids working there to be put in the position of reminding parents that they need to respect their fellow diners. Especially with the level of hate and rage in current society.

But it's also not the role of the customers. We did see a large family wait for five minutes to order, discuss the screaming kid, and left, unable to tolerate it. Oh, and they had kids with them the same age.

Parking was a bit strange. You park in the lot, go through a gate that locks behind you, into the restaurant. But... that same gates locks so you have to walk around the restaurant into the parking lot to get back to your car. You can't use the gate. Not an issue for me, especially after all that fattening food, but my mom was in a wheelchair, so I propped open the gate, walked to the car in the disabled spot, drive closer to my mom, and fetched her and brought her to the car. So if you have folks with you that have limited mobility be aware. This was on a Saturday night, so maybe the gate isn't locked during the day.

The food was great, I'd recommend to plan and order ahead if you don't want a long wait. Not inexpensive or fast food, but worth it. We'll go again.

Parking: See my post for details.

Kid-friendliness: See post.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, but beware of the locking gate. See post.“

“Love The Crest. Amazing boutique apartment complex. Feels so homey and cozy. The leasing people are super cool and so close to everything walking distance. Oh.... and did I mention they have the most legit balconies. I spent most of my time on the beautiful balcony ❤️ I searched for a place for 3 months and this was it. ❤️❤️❤️“

“Absolute wonderful staff and service! Everything I've had the pleasure to eat at the Diner has been mouth watering and simply delicious! Always the best, never fails! Every time I visit Long Beach it is mandatory.“

“Always have a great meal at Simmzy’s. I had cauliflower tacos and they were excellent (and I’m not a vegetarian). Sweet potato fries were great. I’m the past I’ve had the chicken tortilla soup- it’s one of the best! Pet and child friendly.“

“so far everything I've had from here has been top notch. 👌🏻 Just tried the hangover burger for the first time today, I highly suggest you try it.👍🏻👍🏻“

“live entertainment , good service“

“I would suggest mobile ordering. It will be so much faster.“

“This place was listed on one of mist fry BBQ place. Pretty nice and cozy place. We had the beef brisket, 1/2 baby back ribs, loaded potatoes, pork belly tacos. The brisket was very tasty and tender while the baby back was a bit tough. The pork belly taco was very tasty. Too much jalapeños but it was good. We also had fried ice cream and the bourbon bread pudding and that was excellent! The services could use some improvements. Food and desserts were served but there was no silverware. Took more than 5 min. To get the utensils plus we weren’t finish eating yet and they are ready to take our plate away without asking if we were done.“

“Ben’s fast food is good! Healthy food with flavor, plus it’s reasonably priced! I love food that nourishes you and doesn’t make you feel like you’re going to have a food coma, and this place definitely satisfies that. I got the chicken mixed bowl, slow roasted chickpeas & potatoes, and a dark chocolate cashew pudding. Yum! FYI, Ben’s Fast Food is at a “food locker” location - it’s decently easy to find and the pick-up process is simple. I definitely recommend this place and I plan to order from here more! Thank you, BFF (Ben’s Fast Food)!!“

“Great good and drinks. Great happy hour and weekly specials like Wine Wednesday. Friendly and welcoming.“

“Rise Rooftop Lounge So Cool. My Friend Sophia Is A Great Singer In YouTube & Live Music. My Girlfriend Julie & I Are Really Love To See The View In Disneyland Fireworks.“

“The chicken is amazing. Brought out by a great, friendly staff who's always on top of their game. I highly recommend the Nashville. Great food at a reasonable price. Two thumbs up.“

“Good food and service……..“
