This place is always busy. We find seating there at the counter and we do not need to wait for 20 minutes. We love the bean soup? And the apple pie was great.
Home made vibes. Servers are friendly. Mostly church goers because I go on Sundays.

No beer, BLT was great, I'll try the counter next time. Take home some pie or carrot cake. Can't beat $5 pie
Parking: Neighborhood favorite. Our 11st time on our tour of LB Neighborhood eateries.

Always the best go-to spot for in town visitors! Have taken many friends here and everyone has always enjoyed the many options and the fact that it’s very reasonably priced! I do miss the outdoor tables they had during the pandemic, would go more often if they brought them back even if it was just during the summer!

I’ve loved Jongewaard’s Bake n Broil for over 20 years, and it used to be one of my go-to spots, especially for their comforting meals and warm atmosphere. Unfortunately, my most recent visit was a huge disappointment, and I’ve made the difficult decision not to return.
The service was, frankly, terrible. Our server Roger seemed uninterested and made us feel like we were an inconvenience rather than welcomed guests. He barely checked on us, and when he did, there was no friendliness or effort to make us feel at home. It felt like we were bothering him which made us feel very uncomfortable and unwelcome.
To make matters worse, the food quality has clearly gone downhill. I ordered my favorite burger, something I’ve always looked forward to, but it arrived cold and burned. It was disheartening to see how much the standards I once trusted had slipped.
The dining experience was finished off Roger following us out the door to express his dissatisfaction regarding his tip.
This was the most rude and unprofessional behavior which we came back in to share with the manager on duty.
We didn’t receive an apology for our server behavior or our disappointing dining experience.
Overall, the experience left me feeling sad and unappreciated, a far cry from the charm that made this restaurant special to me. It’s disappointing to say goodbye to a place I once loved, but after this visit, I can’t see myself ever coming back nor recommending this restaurant to anyone in the future.

This place is great. Been coming to Bake and Broil since my wife and I started dating 8 years ago and now we come with our daughter who loves the bear pancakes. The breakfast and cakes are delicious. The staff is nice and makes you feel like family. We love this place and you will too.
Best Cakes!

This is a nice local place with a beachside cabin feel to it. The food was okay. I had some corn chowder which had a lot of bacon in it, which made it taste like bacon chowder which sometimes is not a bad thing. I had a burger which was just a plain burger. My wife had the Chinese chicken salad, which was just plain ish. Not that great, not that bad overall. This is A Try it kind of place, hopefully, it's something that you will like.I thought it was just okay
Parking: There is only street parking and good luck finding that.

Been having breakfast here for many years. The omelets are great and they will give you salsa to go with your eggs, yum. They have the standard assortment of omelets plus a few combinations I’ve only seen here like the protein style omelette. Food quality is excellent, they even have homemade jam for your toast or homemade muffins with rotating/seasonal flavors.
Their cakes and bathed goods look delicious although I haven’t personally tried them.
This place is excellent and often has a wait, but that’s what happens when a place is good.

I don't know how the atmosphere is anymore since they close early. I can never go in and eat like I used to do when I was a little kid.

Slice of banana cream pie to go is mandatory.
The Long Beach Marathon forced my friend & I to change our brunch location from Claire's to B&B. We had never been there but heard & read about how good the food is so decided to make the trip across town
We weren't disappointed; indeed, we were overwhelmed by our taste experience. The pumpkin pancakes with butter were outrageously delicious, as was the chicken fried steak. We ordered the lemon lush pie to take home based on a friend's recommendation & and it is, without question, one of the best desserts I've ever had. I'm not easy to please, but pleased I was after our brunch at Jongewaard's B&B.
