50 Best American Restaurants in Long Beach

“10 out of 10! Michelin star is so deserved.“

“Tasty dinners! Do the wine dinner.“

“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.“

“The food was super delicious. We got the spicy chicken sandwich, the French dip, the burger, and the cherry-huckleberry pie. All were exceptionally delicious. Unfortunately, the service was terrible. They charge for refills on drinks (cokes and diet cokes) and the waiter took forever to do anything. For reference, there were three groups seated in the restaurant at the time we went. We thought he might have been new, which is understandable, but it was crazy slow even for a newbie.“

“I wanted to eat a good burger and fries so I went with my sister and we had a great luncheon. I ordered the burger special with cheddar cheese avocado grilled onions pickle with fries and black tea omg now I am gonna take a nap..I did order the chocolate chocolate cake to go..yummy delicious lunch“

“Excellent meal! The BBQ was so delicious and the biscuits were soft and fluffy. The service was excellent“

“Good and friendly service. Good food. The best craft beer“

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

“Every single drink and dish they make is the absolute best. If you haven’t tried their grain bowl or biscuit sammie, do so immediately. And the cardamom latte is liquid gold. I love everything about WEOP including the staff and owners. Best place ever!!“

“First time here. Excellent service. Wonderful food and fantastic view. I will be back.“

“Excellent burgers!!!!!!!!“

“I would recommend (St George UT) Chicken flavor a 10 on the 2 tenders. Fries were lukewarm and limp in my 9 minute ride home. I was also disappointed that a tiny Diet Coke cost $2.65! . It’s not likely I will go again because the cost isn’t something I would do regularly. If it was 12$ including a drink maybe.“

“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“

“Great place, with friendly service and a great ambiance, if you like these loud sports bars. We all liked our food - it was "good" (OK would sound as if any of us had been unhappy) - good burgers and fries. Unless I would be asked by someone to join particularly there, I doubt I would go again. It's not a "No" to the restaurant itself, it is a "Yes" to all the other great places on the same street I have not explored yet. So again, if you want to check out games and have a great night out with like-minded, this is highly recommended.“

“They’re ordering System is in GS. I love how you can just scan a QR code on your phone and order everything directly through it. The payment process was very seamless, if you have an iPhone definitely take advantage of Apple Pay. Our food was delivered relatively quickly for a Saturday. If you are someone who likes beer, I recommend the Long Beach blonde ale. It is good. And the french fries were excellent seasoned as well.“

“It was a lovely experience and the people were very kind and friendly“

“Great place to grab a hot dog or burger. It truly is a a wide selection of hot dogs and burgers, so take your time to order. The also have sweet potato french fries and regular tater-tots. Great place.

Parking: You can park in the garage next door. It's FREE for 2 hours. After that, you have to pay for every 15 mins afterwards.“

“the food is great but I think the people make the place!!!!“

“My family took me out for an early birthday celebration. I really enjoyed the food, the attentive service, and the environment. The scenery overlooking the harbor was an added plus. I tried to get good pics before we all started eating. Lol, not everyone cooperated. Mom and I had the Salmon dish. The pickled cucumbers were tasty but a little spicy for me. My husband had the shrimp salad, daughter had a pasta dish, and future son in law had the steak dish. All five different dishes are highly recommended. Great variety of everyday food with a twist if something special. The chef knows what she or he is doing. Worth the money in my opinion and the portions were great. We couldn't eat it all and took some home with us.“

“Long time Belmont Shore resident, and newly minted Louie's fan!

Came here for the first time about a week ago for breakfast, and both my partner and I were blown away by the quality, service, selection, and vibe. We even came back later that evening to order food to go.

Tonight was our anniversary so we decided to check out the dinner options, and again we're pleasantly surprised! Our server Cynthia was incredibly friendly and made great suggestions. She mentioned their Wine Wednesday special, as well as the Steak Frites special, which we ordered both of without a second thought. Before our mains we shared the Fritto Misto to share, a nice selection of veggies with a perfectly light breading, and the Calabrian chili dip was a great addition. Steak was cooked perfectly, and the garlic fries are a must. She even brought out a dessert for our special occasion, which was a really kind gesture.

Great value all around, weekly happy hours, and I think a hidden gem among the seemingly overwhelming plethora of eateries in Belmont Shore. There are lots of places on 2nd street that I don't think get love or admiration they deserve, but I think Louie's should be on everyone's radar!“

“We really enjoyed the vibe here, and the food was super delicious. I thoroughly enjoyed my chicken bacon ranch wrap w/chips, and I liked that I could get refills of my fountain drink (although it said they cost $1 per refill, the person working gave me a free one.)“

“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. ❤️❤️❤️“

“toda la comida y servidores estuvo perferto, un buen serviocio all the food and servers were perfect, good service“

“Great Burgers and Breakfasts“

“Excellent service and even better food!“

“First time at the Country Kitchen for Breakfast. Helen (owner) and her staff hit it out of the park. An extensive menu, well prepared, fairly priced with extremely friendly employees. You cant ask for anything more. I will certainly be back.

Do yourself a favor, enjoy some good food at this well run establishment.

Do your community a favor and support a local businesswoman. The chain restaurants make enough money, spend yours with the locals.“

“Great burgers. Haven't had a burger that interest my taste buds in a long time.“

“Jennifer was a wonderful server, she's always checking up on us and never fails to make us laugh! She's great at attending us and makes sure we have what we need, perfect server!“

“Grilled Chicken pesto sammie was yummy....everything was!! Terrific service too...Thx Ryan...good fun!“

“Great experience . Great views of the boats“

“I specialize in the renovation of kitchens, but this is Grandmas country kitchen 2.0. Both a local market and an incredibly good southern inspired restaurant, be prepared to be warmed by the good spirit of true comfort food and energy of the old days... when food took time but every1 chatted away... It was my first time here, so I didn't get a chance to really experiment on food (chicken sausage, eggs, and pancakes), but it was pleasant. Good prices and a local spot you should not miss.“

“My 3rd time back and again an awesome breakfast. Delicious and will be back again soon!!!“

“Delicious meal and a friendly staff. They definitely appreciate their customers.“

“Lemon pepper wings are AMAZING ❤️❤️❤️ Great drinks good crowd and super nice servers❤️❤️❤️“

“it has been many years since I have been there but it was a great place with their three or four times when I was stationed on the USA USS New Jersey“

“Wonderful place to spend an afternoon. You get sunshine, fresh air, boats, water, and the city as your backdrop. Walk up to the light tower for a panoramic view. They have scooters and bikes you can rent. We spent the most beautiful day here people watching, rolling down the hill, foot race, and even made flower necklaces like we did in grade school. My godson made me make ten so he could give them out to all the women in his life (grandma, aunts, mama, etc.). He collected flowers and made me sit there until he had one for everyone. He also made me roll down the hill (not as easy as it looks). We snacked on gold fishes and dum dums. The boys did NOT want to leave but we had lunch reservations. It was the most wonderful day and it cost next to nothing“

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

“The steak was delightful and I may consider ordering it again. The vegetables could have been prepared a bit better, but they were satisfactory. The dessert was clearly microwaved and not homemade. It tasted like a pre-packaged dessert that was heated in the microwave to make it warm. However, the Manhattan cocktail was absolutely fantastic and the ambiance was pleasant. The customer service was exceptional.“

“Nehemiah's Restaurant is a hidden gem, especially if you're a fan of really good tamales. They also offer a variety of different dishes, I like coming here for their tamales ??. While the food is definitely worth the trip, I would recommend it more for takeout than dining in, as the space isn't well ventilated and there's no restroom available.“

“Honestly you may not be able to find a better bacon (breakfast) burrito. Huge and worth the price on quality alone. The salsa is great, but I also like to get Tapatio with it for a nice kick.

Also, if you’re in the mood for a breakfast shot, also the best. Partly due to the bacon element.“

“Attached to the Courtyard Marriott, this is a solid choice for drinks and / or food, with a cheeseburger and two margaritas setting me back just over $40. There's a big screen inside that tends to show sports as well as a few outdoor tables.

Kid-friendliness: Saw lots of families with kids“

“Came for breakfast. Food was hot, coffee good. Omelet and hash browns were good portion. Waffle more like a home cooked waffle. A little too much grease for me, but it was okay for my husband. Solid breakfast place. Might come back for lunch, the burrito and sandwich menu was fairly substantial.“

“So glad we found this place right around the corner! Good selection of beers. Their food is fantastic. We came here for their lunch specials and had the pro tip #1 with fries (10/10) and their mail order cowboy hazy IPA all for $20. We’ll be back again and again.“

“good breakfast i came one's a week“

“Great food and beer selection. Nice happy hour! 3-7 every day! Tons of food options. Brazed short rib was the bomb! Boom boom shrimp were tasty. Great margaritas. And high top seating which worked out because I had a recent back issue so didn't need to ease my easy down into a normal height chair. We'll be back.“

“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.“

“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 …“

“The food is always on point and the establishment is super clean with kind employees. 2 thumbs up for my home-base in-n-out burger!“
