“I love this place. It's friendly, the bartender is an absolute sweetheart, the KJ is amazing, and they don't over serve and have overly drunk patrons there amd harassing other customers. Karaoke here is a blast and the KJ is very fair with the lineup. This is my new spot to hang after a long week. ❤️❤️❤️“

“Our church, Triedstone MBC, just hosted a luncheon for our leadership team. It was catered by Darrow’s New Orleans Grill. We were very pleased with our experience. The food was delicious. And the service was great! They arrived early. And the food was hot. The owner, Norwood, presented the food with a very appetizing description of each entree. Everyone loved it! Additionally, the portions were very generous. And everyone went back for seconds. At Triedstone, we do everything with excellence. And Darrow’s definitely met the challenge. We say, “Thank You” to Norwood and his entire staff. We look forward to doing more business with you in the near future. Sincerely Submitted, Pastor Quentin T. Oden and Lady Shelley Oden TRIEDSTONE MBC Carson, CA“

“Great options of Pizza and amazing gothic/ horror atmosphere“

“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!!!“

“Excellent service. Excellent food. Definitely returning. Thanks!“

“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.“

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

“I somehow have lived in LB for almost 2 years and haven’t tried it until now… no joke the Hoowee Caprese is the best sandwich I’ve ever had. I was going to say top 3, but I can’t think of any others while I’m sitting here eating this right now. With the friendly staff and great vibes, I can see why this place is so popular and I will absolutely be back for this Caprese as much as possible 😂“

“Amazing food and amazing service.“

“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.“

“A diamond in the rough! The very best dive bar in S. Ca. It's just a fun place.“

“Thank you for decorating my uncles party it looks amazing truly love the Green Bay colors amazing tacos . Clean equipment and early delivery to ensure everything was met. Awesome service highly recommend“

“Top shelf tap house and chilled bottle shop. Largest variety of carry out beer in Whittier. All killer, no filler. Great staff, great service, great management. Clean bathrooms, nice clientele. No complaints. I will continue to drive distance to visit this place.“

“Wow. Our entire experience was phenomenal, from our first interaction with the hostess to walking out the door.

Chef Walter has created a robust, impressive Italian menu, and Scott, the sommelier, was fantastic. His knowledge of wine really stood out to me, and his recommendations made the dining experience that much better. He picked the perfect bottle for our specific food and occasion. He clearly knows his wine and brings a level of expertise and enthusiasm that makes you appreciate the entire dining experience even more.

Excellent food, exceptional service, and an all around memorable experience.“

“Food was good but customer service not so great. Our waitress Raquel needs to brush up on her people skills, smile a little more and not have such an attitude. I was afraid to ask her for more ice tea. The food was good, the ambiance great and I’d recommend but avoid this waitress.“

“Great live music. Cool outdoor area.“

“Just went to blondies yesterday! Saturday night around 9:30 pm. It's a nice bar! More standing space than seating. There is outside seating but it was taken up when we arrived there and it didn't seem to free up by the time we left.Age range is millennials, maybe some college students.Music is a bit loud if you are trying to have a conversation, but overall its fun! They got games playing and I think you can have lil birthday gatherings there? There was a small birthday hang out when we were there which was really cute.Overall, good bar, would come back.“

“Clean, convenient location, serving cold beer and wine by happy people. Flatscreens on every wall. Smoking patio partially covered, partially uncovered. What more do you need in a local bar?! Thanks Al. You’ve done great! Oh and I love the Karaoke machine! Fun fun fun!“

“The Best Thai Food in Long Beach 🏖 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Review Update: Adam goes above and beyond to be an excellent bartender. Not sure if he works night, but if your in the neighborhood in the early A.M. stop by.

Fun Fact: this bar does not “serve food” but there is a little window by the pool table where you can make a food order 😉“

“I love this spot! Great little breakfast break on my morning walk.

The staff was very friendly and accommodating of my wife's gluten allergy(I grabber her breakfast to go).

I got avocado toast with poached eggs. Very fresh, cooked to perfection. A refreshing start to my day, definitely.

I plan on coming back for a soup and sandwich for lunch someday soon and walking it off in the park after..they seem to have a great deal!

Atmosphere was quiet and friendly. Lots of folks having nice little meetups and saying good morning to each other. Seems like a great place to be a regular.

Overall just a wonderful little spot. I will absolutely be back many times.“

“Every time I’ve been at Black bar a very enjoyable experience, it has a wonderful selection of whiskey which I drink. They have wonderful, creative cocktails that I’ve tried and never been disappointed. The pizza is wonderful as well. Please try it. The ladies who run it are very hospitable And will bend over backwards to make your time there something to talk about. Very talented and charismatic bartenders as well.“

“Always a good time at Campus!“

“Lunch (Brunch) Saturday June 8 Been reading many glowing reviews ..R they deserved ? If all dishes as flavorful as the Lamb” Secco” Then YES Not cheap , but If I am spending $40-50 person ,the food had Better taste like this. Also good: basic Margherita Pizza. Beer list is thoughtful. Wife REALLY enjoyed her Anderson Valley Rose wine with the Lamb dish Bottom line: this cafe is worth supporting. Thanks for setting up shop in Coastal Long Beach- Naples“

I’ve been coming here for years, love the staff, the vibes, and the liquor selection, but the tender of bar that worked last night took it to another level.“

“3 pool tables the coldest, cheapest beer/ drinks in Southgate & Los Angeles CA. The owner Fred is a great person. A little ruff around the edges but the best damm bar in Southgate. The people there are awesome 💯. I come from Pasadena to Southgate just to drink beer and play pool . Let That sink in...“

“I had a good time Met someone I used to work with And it seem like you had a conversation with everybody in there“

“The atmosphere is popping here! Excellent DJ, very welcoming people, and good vibes. The only downside is that it is a very small place for the number of people that arrive; no dance floor, only one pool table, and hard to order a drink because of the very crowded bar. However, it is a very good spot for the Black community and for anyone, of course. Everyone was so happy to be here. This was my first time visiting, and I am confident I have found a new local to hang out at.“
