“My girl and I and I really enjoy visiting this spot. Mandy's always hits the spot with their wide variety menu and good pricing. They are generous with things like additional gravy requests for the biscuits and gravy. I got recently tricked by IHOP's colorful food photos where they charge extra for a plastic thimble of gravy + free additional microplastics and the fruit pancakes just taste sugary and bland.

I'm just going to lock into Mandy's from now on and support local businesses.“

“I just ate here for my birthday on Saturday. I have been to Belize and this food took me right back there. The owner Leslie, is from Belize and is very friendly and attentive, as his the staff. Phenomenal food, and large portions. Get the sampler platter for your appetizer, you won't be disappointed. I highly recommend this restaurant. If you are ever in Gardena, you should stop here. Gardena Cinema is a few blocks away, and is also fantastic. The restaurant closes at 7pm, and most shows start at 7:30, so it makes for the perfect evening.“

“We visited this place just to check it out as they're opening a location on PCH and have never been before even though we frequent Slice'n'Pint down the street.

We had a patty melt, fries, onion rings & a tuna melt. After being charged, I went to leave a tip and the cashier said something I couldn't catch. Then I realize she was saying there were two separate tip jars: one for service and one for the cook. Thought it was a bit odd but sure, so, I split tip into both.

My wife didn't like her tuna melt, as it apparently was missing the melt part. My patty melt was decent: nothing to write home about. Between the fries and the onion rings, I think fries were the better choice. The onions rings needed more seasoning.

It's a decent counter burger but nothing that stands out. Just feels like one of those places where you can grab food- nothing to really excite you about coming back. The staff is very friendly and I can see how this is a solid joint for a neighborhood.“

“Tried this place while on Long Beach for just a night as part of a longer trip. This was probably the best food on the entire trip. The homemade Bolognese was absolutely incredible, but literally everything our group of 6 ate was excellent. Service was fantastic as well.“

“The breakfast and regular burritos here are delicious. Not to mention, super cheap! They come with fresh totopos, not the ones from a bag. They're quick, attentive, and downright lovely people to interact with. Love this place! Thank you, guys.“

“SoCal Wings hit the spot! I ordered the lemon pepper and buffalo wings. Both were packed with flavor—crispy, saucy, and cooked perfectly. The lemon pepper had just the right balance, and the buffalo had a great kick.

I also tried their SoCal fries and absolutely loved them—loaded, flavorful, and the perfect add-on to the wings.

I love supporting local spots that deliver quality. Highly recommend if you’re craving great wings in Long Beach. 🍗🔥“

“Bacon Breakfast Burrito was delicious!! Im very picky about my Breakfast Burritos. Every place makes them different and this Fantastic makes them with all the right ingredients (eggs, cheese, hashbrowns choice of breakfast meat and salsa.) I had to omit salsa because I cant do spicy anymore but it was still perfect. I got it to go but the restaurant inside was very nice and really clean.“

“Came here for breakfast while traveling in Washington. Establishment seems to be well managed and well maintained. Matthew was our server and did an excellent job of taking care of us. We ordered the Breakfast Sampler, which I believe used to be called the Grand Slam. It came with two eggs, three meats, hash browns, and buttermilk pancakes. Breakfast of champions! We were quite satisfied when we left to hit the road to Forks, WA. We would definitely return if we were ever in the area.“
