“Noisy dark bar with people having a blast.Yes good quality and quantity of food.I had fish and chips. The single piece I ordered was more than twice as thick as most places have. Partner had pork chops and mash and was satisfied.10 screens to watch, but blink and you will miss the plain door to enter the place.“
“I've been to both locations! While this one is smaller, this one still does have food, which is good! Karaoke prices are so reasonable for a room too. I love that it's so close by too. I can't wait to come back. Everyone is nice also. Going on Sundays is nice since it's less crowded!“
“Good place to enjoy a drink. Easy finger foods and enchiladas. The owner is pretty cool and easy to talk to. He just wants his guest to enjoy their drinks and be safe. Also, it is a very clean place, no mess, outside, and inside. See you guys soon. One more thing he likes to collect currency from other countries, so if your lucky enough he might trade you for a drink ? ?.“
“There's definitely a reason this place keeps coming up everywhere as number ones bartenders are nice with a touch of sass like you'd like at a dive bar, but it's elevated. The prices are pretty pricey, but for the love ingredients and originality of the cocktails I guess it's alright, but I'm not staying for more than two lol. We ordered 4 cocktails and two mocktails and it was about $100 so time to go home lol. They have yummy little snacks and overall we were happy with this new Long Beach spot.“
“It’s a worthy dive bar with a frigging delicious hamburger. We went for the atmosphere having walked by on our vacation to Manhattan Beach and had to go back. If you love an authentic old bar and are happy with a great cheeseburger and chips and can overlook a sticky table and a bit scary bathroom situation, this is your spot. A breath of fresh air from our usual bougie eating in South Bay. Did I mention the burger was delicious??“
“We happened to stumble upon The Ordinarie Tavern in Long Beach and we’re glad we did! The service was first rate and the food was really good! I highly recommend the chicken pot pie bites as an appetizer. They were fantastic. We also tried the half chicken entree and the short rib French dip, both of which were also good. Happy Hour is offered from 3-6pm, with specials on beers, drinks and food.“
“The waitresses were super nice and friendly. There was a little bit of a wait, but it wasn’t very long. I am a pescatarian and I did not realize the clam chowder has bacon in it. So watch out pescatarians. The shrimp and cocktail sauce is amazing though.“
“I am a lover of Italian food! Overall the place was good. Everything seemed fresh and had good flavor. We ordered the burrata appetizer, which was decent. I appreciated that they had 2 types of gluten free pasta. They made the other pastas in house. Worth a try if you are craving Italian food and are in the area.“
“My daughters (4-7) were spellbound by the “inside / outside at the same time” space. And I absolutely loved the plant filled atmosphere. Food was above average too! The one hiccup was that we ordered a flavoured coffee flight & they were all iced! Wife said she knew, but I didn’t catch that they weren’t hot coffee. So people really like cold coffee?? (Wife loved them. I know I’m the weird one.)“
“Great experience all around. I took my friend from Kansas who is not a huge Mexican food fan. I told her to come to Palmilla and give it a try. We had the caesar salad (I loved the capers in it) Ceviche trio, and the carnitas. The food was so good, not greasy like a lot of Mexican food and deliciously elevated. The Serrano cilantro margarita was amazing too. Service was friendly and prompt. Thank you“
“My wife and I come to this location often. We come to this location specifically because the staff are so caring, nice and the service is outstanding! Our favorite waitress is a young lady named Jocelyn My 6 yr old granddaughter loves her and loves coming here. Jocelyn always makes sure she makes herself available to take a picture with our granddaughter everytime we go. All of the staff are very nice and that all starts at the top. The management/owners are very attentive and hardworking. This El torito location should be the example of excellence to all the other El toritos in the southbay. Keep up the good work guys and gals!!- Happy Customer 2024“
“Always consistently good food. Had the salmon and salad with brussel sprouts, and my friend had the grilled chicken sandwich. Seasoning was robust, but not too salty. Waitress was friendly, introduced herself, and had no problem with request for two checks for the table.“
“The shrimp Po’Boys here are absolutely AMAZING! As well as the Jambalaya and tater salad. My wife and I just found this restaurant today and stopped in for a quick bite. We are both born and raised in New Orleans, so it’s always iffy when getting Louisiana foods in different states, but let me tell you WE WERE BLOWN AWAY at how amazing the food was! Actually we even think it’s better than a lot of places in the actual French quarter! The customer service is unmatched as well, the owner who is also from New Orleans was in and was so very kind, welcoming and really made us feel like family! Which is exactly what he said to us. It’s almost impossible to find anywhere that brings that kind of hospitality to the table, and this place is THE place to go for not only an amazing experience, but beautifully executed and flavorful food as well! Will be back again and again. Thank you Darrow’s New Orleans Grill!“
“The food here is really great, and they have a good selection of Wine, Beer, and Cider. The burgers are really good and a nice variety. I love getting the chips instead of the fries, trust me on this they are sooo good. The patio is so nice because you can sit outside and enjoy yourselves, and there's lots of space so it's a great place for groups. Parking is also easy in Downtown El Segundo, and the service here has always been top notch and very friendly,in true El Segundo fashion!“
“Great local place that has a cute store next door with a variety of beer/wine choices and some upscale snacks.Food, drinks and vibe of the bar are always amazing. Every one always seems to be having a good time whenever I’m there. The staff is super nice and helpful with any questions I have had.“
“Bartenders are always great. Seen plenty of bands play here, the back room for that is perfect for the sounds to bounce all over without any 'bar noise' nuisance you'd get at a local bar show. There's a big back patio area and at one point in some summertime ago, they served food out there. Front bar section has a Photo Booth, a small section of records to shop and foosball to play, and several booths to sit at, perfect to wait out a band you are waiting to finish before the next band plays. It's not a bad venue to play at, low key vibe and supportive for touring bands. Sound person always seems to be adaptable and you can ask bartender for ear plugs too“
“Eating here was one of the highlights of the Trip! Gorgeous decor and well dressed serving people who were so friendly and fast ! Very authentic Mexican cuisine awaits you. We were pleasantly surprised at how reasonably priced the meals were ! We drove from Los Angeles to the restaurant and it was well worth the trip with the breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean along the way. We were so glad to eat here.Parking: A safe , large paved parking lot free for customersKid-friendliness: Lots to eat here for children and service is so fast they will not get restless.“
“Great food, great atmosphere, great service!It is the "Cheers" of the South Bay!Definitely need to go by, have dinner and drinks!It also has an amazing Chocolate Stout which is out of this world! Don't miss out on the experience where everyone will know your name!“
“Food is consistent 90% of the time in all their locations.Nice ambiance and high ceiling. Can get a little noisy in here.I suggest doing the bomba style when ordering their pizza.I suggest ordering a plate in every category in the menu which you can share in a group of four or five people.I highly recommend reminding your server to serve any bread first. On my last visit it was served last and we were almost full with our first four plates.Plenty of parking spaces, availability is scarce.“
“Waitress service was not that greatI ordered filet mignon yet when it came to the table it looked like a piece of steak it was very tasty though I did not complain because I was there with my daughter and her food was already there so I just ate what I had I ate what they gave me shall I say“
“I had an amazing experience at Yard House! The food was delicious, and the portions were huge - great value for money. The service was exceptional, and our blonde waitress was the absolute 'bizz' - attentive, friendly, and made our dining experience even more enjoyable. I was impressed by the variety on the menu and the quality of the dishes. If you're looking for a fantastic meal with excellent service, Yard House is the place to go. Highly recommended!“
“Nice local place good food and drinks at a reasonable price. Great place to watch the games. The staff is very friendly. I had the Barbacoa Quesadilla that was very good. They have a private room for parties of business you can book. Great place to hangout and meet the locals.“
“I was there right when it opened and had the best experience, everything was perfect and definitely will be going again. For the first time everything about a place complimented everything the staff were super helpful, the food was amazing, the drinks were nice and cheap, and the atmosphere was phenomenal.“
“I'd eat the chicken tenders everyday if I lived here, they're like nothing I've ever had. Absolutely get a basket of these if you're here. The server Dragon (yes that's his name) is the best server I think ive had. He has an amazing personality. Being a 49ers fan helped too. Lol.“
“Had a great experience. The hostess Gi Gi mad us feel very welcome and was the main reason we decided to give it a try. She was very confident about the menu and we ended up staying for a few hours. Good food, cocktails and overall vibe were perfect.“
“The Corner Bar is a local gem that captures the essence of inclusivity, as there is something here for everyone. With its welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff, and affordable drinks, it's the perfect spot to unwind after a long day or catch up with friends over a cold beer or a cocktail. They also have a DJ on the weekends for those seeking a party-like atmosphere. All in all, it is a great bar, and if you're in town, highly recommended visiting!“
“Had a great time at Primo! I booked a day-of reservation for a large party for a family dinner and they seated us in the private dining room. The restaurant interior was very nice and the food was fantastic. Service was very good and we overall had an amazing experience!“
“Ricardo!!! Amazzzing server!! Thank you for making our Easter Brunch the best day everrrrr!! It’s a must do if you’re in Cali!! Thank you again Ricardo!! Redondo beach has the best views and the omelette bar is everything ❤️❤️❤️“
“I can't believe I haven't written a review here yet! (Thought I did!) Anyway, first came here last year for my sister's friend/band member's birthday party! (Jordan) And some of his art work was displayed for sale. It was pretty fun! The DJ booth looks cool! The giant screen allowed them to play their new music video for their band called Wamdingis! (Check them out!) That night was lit! Thank you to the bar tenders & chef! The fried cheese curds were unforgettable! Came back here another time with a girlfriend because she was sad about her guy. Anyway, we ordered the tater tots (yummy!) & some seltzer drinks. I sang a song for Karaoke night on Sunday. We also ordered the mushroom Swiss burger and added bacon! Omg! So glad we split it! That was too good! Then we bar hopped a little before going home. Tonight, I was supposed to help my sister's band with merch at the Santa Ana art walk but they finished before I got there so I turned around and went home and Lyfted here. Ordered the garlic lemon pepper wings & cheese curds! Mmmm! So good! Highly recommended! The kitchen is open until 1 or 2am! Woohoo! So this is def a 2-in-1 spot! Parking sucks on the streets so just Lyft here! Maybe I'll see you guys around!“
“I didn't have any expectations going here, but they were all quickly exceeded! I loved how there were several different stands to get food from, including a dedicated bar area (I hate it when you have to order food at the bar).The food was all really fairly priced and so good! It paired well with the beer flight my partner and I got. There are many unique beers to have, and the bartender who served us was super cool and friendly.I definitely want to come back again! It was a vibe!“
“We lucked out and came on the last Saturday of the month when the dueling pianos duke it out vocally and musically and they delivered for us and our kids. They played crowd favorites and kid favorites. Not a lot of places you can hear Sweet Caroline followed by Peaches from Super Mario Brothers. The service was great too. They accommodated cocktails and charcuterie for the the adults and milk and cookies for the kids with ease.“
“Easily one of the best experiences in a long time. We live in the area and have wanted to try this place for a long time. Josh as a host was incredible from the moment we walked in the door. He was so friendly and made us feel like regulars even though it was our first time. Ricardo was our server and we found he had been there fore 23 years. He was so nice and kind. The food is incredible. We had the shrimp cocktail to start, which was great. Then we ordered the famous burger and the prime rib. Both were amazing. We also had the bread pudding for dessert. Everything was so great, and all of the other tables were filled with what felt like regulars. Don't let the outside turn you off. Once you enter, you'll be treated to a great evening.“
“Gay women goes to gay man’s bar, so take it with a grain of salt. My own fault for wasting a buck in the jukebox while music videos were playing, assumed it would override. Bartender super cool and nice, watched him cut someone off and give them water. I don’t think they have food, not certain. Low key in the day, not sure what night crowd is like.“
“Maybe Valentine's Day dinner is not the best time to write a review but... Food: Main courses were 50/50 - mussels were fresh and yummy; the coq au vin chicken was dry and a tad over cooked but the vin sauce was tasty. The deviled eggs appetizer was disappointing as it tasted like it was made the day before. Service was solid and attentive. The interior needs some sound dampening as the main dining area is way too loud. You have to almost yell to carry on a conversation because everyone is doing the same.“
“awesome bar!!! me and my friends went in and ordered some cosmos and sat and drank and listened to heavy metal/hard rock. the drinks were so good and the bartender was so sweet! i love the restrooms they have a castle vibe to them. the booths are intimate and close, the lighting was perfect, not overstimulating. attracts the right people for sure. i love that the doors are closed and you cant see in. the martini glass neon sign outside is soooo cute!!! will be coming back for sure“
“Had a fantastic time at Coyote Cantina! The drinks were just perfect - strong and delicious. The Steak Tidbits and Blackened Chicken Enchiladas were both standout dishes. Plus, Carl, the owner, was incredibly welcoming, making the whole experience even more special. A cozy spot I'd recommend to “
“I've been here a bunch, just realized I've still never written them a review, so fixing that finally. They are definitely a "neighborhood bar" first, cocktail bar second - it's a great chill vibe, the sort of place that's never too busy (at least when I've been there) and where the music is never too loud to be able to talk. Their bartenders are all great, and they have quality spirits and reasonably priced drinks. And they do *have* a cocktail list - but compared to, for instance, Wicked Wolf nearby, for similar prices, cocktails that aren't quite as complex or as exciting, necessarily, but they have all been great cocktails. I also particularly like that they have, at least at the moment, Buffalo Trace on hand, so I can put that in any whiskey cocktail for about the same price. On their current menu, I particularly liked the "Cameoi" (bourbon, basil, lemon, blueberry, hibiscus cider) and the "Conquistador" (corn vodka, frangelico, romepope custard liqueur - as-is, it's basically a drinkable dessert, which is great if you're looking for dessert, but it's also an easy drink to swap different spirits in - I've also tried off-menu versions with mezcal and with Buffalo Trace that were also great.) I have only actually gotten food here once, and it was a couple years ago - their flatbread was nothing I'd go out of my way for specifically, but it's definitely also something I'd be happy to order if I were hungry and I was here. That said, the *real* draw that keeps getting me to stop in here, is the live jazz they have every Saturday at 8 PM. The jazz trio that plays here is fantastic, so whenever I'm out that direction on Saturday in the evening (most likely because something's going on at Wicked Wolf), I also try to arrange to pop in here during the live jazz. Cocktails go great with live jazz, and they're a super talented jazz trio. (But it wouldn't be such a draw if they didn't *also* make great cocktails.)“
“We went there for a birthday party and everything ran fairly smoothly. The food was pretty good although the beef I got was a little fatty but if you like your sliced beef like that, you'll love it. But the venue itself gets 5 stars for sure. Very nice setting with ample parking and kids will love the airplanes outside.“
“Great spot with awesome decor/atmosphere. Our server/bartender was a delight, the food & beverage options are excellent. We had the sliders and fries with some well priced wine & ciders. The chef came out and we saw his passion for providing a great experience for Tap House guests.“
“SO FUN. One of my favorite breweries in the South Bay. As a person who loves to sample and loves a diverse menu, this is a perfect place for me. The servers have always been so nice when we came (although service can be a bit slow on those busy nights). Parking can be tough!“

“I love this restaurant and have been a fan since it offered free bento boxes with a stay at the New Gardena Hotel which is adjacent. The food is flavorful: the bacon fried rice DOES NOT MISS! Neither does the Beef Spareribs, nor grilled sliced pork with ginger. Love the Macaroni/Potato Salad. Flavorful food. Quaint hidden gem in Gardena.“
“Upon my initial visit to this establishment, I was immediately captivated by the interior aesthetics. The decorations were truly impressive, and the cleanliness of the place was commendable. Moreover, I was pleasantly surprised by the exceptional customer service provided by an employee named Raven. She made me feel incredibly welcome and was remarkably easy to converse with, as if we had known each other for years despite having just met that day. Since our interaction, I have been a consistent patron of this establishment. Even if I were not a local resident, I would willingly make the drive to this location in order to enjoy the company of others and, of course, to see Raven on the days she works.Now, let's discuss David, the manager. He, too, possesses remarkable customer service skills and always ensures that I feel welcome and attended to whenever he is present. I must also commend the owner, Mike, for the outstanding job he has done in creating this place. The entire process of its inception is truly commendable, as it has provided the community with a wonderful space to enjoy their meals and the company of their loved ones.I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone seeking a welcoming and comfortable environment. Personally, I often opt for their sausage and mushroom pizza, which never fails to satisfy. Although I have yet to try their burgers, they are next on my list. I did, however, sample their spicy wings, which unfortunately did not appeal to my taste. Nevertheless, the rest of the menu is consistently excellent. Each time I visit, I have the opportunity to meet new people, further enhancing the sense of belonging and homeliness this place offers. Additionally, the music selection is superb, further adding to the overall enjoyable experience.“
“This place has lots of good memories for me. If you love beer be sure to check this place out. They always have a huge selection of beers that they rotate. With so many beers, it's super fun being able to pick a new beer with each round . Not a lot of places with this much selection. They are nice enough to give you a few samples if you can't commit, or pitchers if you can. Def a dive bar. Lots of regulars and locals. Weekends can get packed, especially in the summer. They also have live music on weekends. Food is bar food but tasty. My friend is obsessed with their wings.“
“I didn't try food I went on a Friday before 9 and it was packed I didn't even try to get a beer but if I was trying to party I'd go here I just wanted a beer before heading home so don't go on the weekend if that's your “
“The dinner was excellent, but the waiter had a somewhat attitude. Also, the Restaurant called 3 times and texted 2 times confirming the reservations and reminding us that we had to eat and be gone within 1 3/4 hours. It became very annoying. I understand confirming once but 3 or 4 times is like they want you to eat and be gone ASAP.“
“I had good time Friday night with with family I kept a smile on my face all night and mingled with friendly people. I love being around an older crowd people enjoying their self that’s what it supposed to be about Black people coming together having fun without fighting all the time. Peace one love.“
“Great place to have gotten married, it feels like yesterday and yet it was over 3 years ago now.... It was quiet, secluded, with just the two of us our son, and the officiant. The officiant brought everything to the house for us to sign and submitted everything to the courthouse for us. Private marriage license, the certificate all of it... never had to leave the base.“
“Had the waiter paid more attention to his customers than his friend at the bar, I would have given more stars.Requested Coke, got Pepsi. Asked for grilled shrimp, got fried shrimp. Asked to hold the cabbage, guess what ? Tacos arrived covered in cabbage. Food was very good despite server messing up the entire order. Look after your customers not your friends sitting at the bar.“
“April 1,2024 ,the day before returning to Japan,l was watching Twilight on the beach,suddenly spaceship-Falcon9–took off???‼️from Vandenberg and traced trajectory across the night sky.Everyone says “Wha’t that”⁉️It’s so special sight.Then l ate rocket salad.Unforgettable taste.“
“?? Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4 stars)I recently had the pleasure of visiting Lomita Alehouse during their Octoberfest celebrations, and I must say, it was a fantastic experience! ??At first glance, the bar may seem a bit small, but do not let that deceive you. The cozy atmosphere adds to its charm, and it creates a wonderful sense of camaraderie among patrons. ??What sets Lomita Alehouse apart is their inclusion of a billiard table. This added feature is a great way to engage with friends while enjoying a drink. I had a blast challenging my friends to friendly games of pool.??One unique aspect that I really appreciated was the utilization of the outdoor parking area for a live concert. This addition was unexpected but turned out to be an amazing surprise. The atmosphere was electric, and the good vibes were contagious. ??The staff were attentive and friendly, making sure everyone had a great time. They seemed genuinely passionate about making the experience memorable for all customers. The service was quick, and the drinks were reasonably priced. ??Overall, my time at at this bar was truly enjoyable. The combination of the Octoberfest celebration, billiard table, and the vibrant atmosphere in the outdoor concert area made for an unforgettable night. I highly recommend giving this bar a visit if you're looking for a good time. Cheers! ?? #arnoldvides“
