We had a brilliant time! The staff are beyond friendly, the service is amazing and they really went above and beyond to accommodate our group. The food was fabulous and flavorful with the classics plus some great and different specials - we will be back for sure!

The food is excellent! Very good selection for breakfast or lunch.

Parking: It's in a neighborhood, so parking may be tight.

I have been to the crooked duck several times and always enjoy it, but this time was a little different. This was the first time I just went by myself with my kids (age 6 and 1). And despite the hassle of juggling kid stuff it was still a really good experience. The staff was nice as always and most of them tried to interact with the kids when they came to our table. I was pleasantly surprised. The food of course was great as always

Today's visit was 7 years after that review from above and even though I didn't have my kids with me, I just came with my wife, it was still a great experience. Service and food were both great as usual.

It was a very cute little spot! There isn’t a lot of parking in the lot but there is nearby street parking. We arrived just before opening on a Monday holiday and the staff were so gracious to let us in and seat us right at 8am. The service was fantastic, even as we stayed a little longer than intended. As we left, it was busy! The food was good but nothing to write home about. The service staff were so kind and explained the 50 cent up charge for eggs during the egg shortage, which we were totally ok to pay. Overall, I’d go back again!

While traveling from Idaho we were fortunate to have brunch with our dear friends in Long Beach before heading out on a cruise. They took us to this quaint, fun restaurant. Spectacular service, delicious food, Hazelnut coffee, yum! Thanks for the very cool stickers!

I’ve been to Long Beach twice now and both times it’s been absolutely horrible. This place was our last stop before leaving and it was so nice. The service was friendly, the staff seem to genuinely enjoy their jobs. The food was really good. The portions weren’t ridiculously huge, they were perfect. Thanks guys!

Was one of my favorite breakfast spots, unfortunately bad service ruined the experience for me. Came here 12/22 around 9:30 am. the place was surprisingly empty for a Sunday. Got sat down right away ordered coffee, corned beef hash and avocado toast.

Here comes the disappointing part.

Food comes out lukewarm not that big of a deal, we say nothing. The hash was meh and the avocado toast with added egg, and bacon bits I can recommend 9/10. Now the funky part that left me feeling like wtf just happened.

I asked three times for a coffee refill, twice to my main server that took our order, they never came so once to the server that brought the food. Finally received the coffee but by that time we’re done with our meal so as she’s refilling the cup I ask for the check. Then they asks me if I want a Togo cup. I think to myself that’s Thoughtful of them probably because it took so long. Check and Togo boxes come, no cup. I pay for the check wait a few more minutes for said cup, say f it and start to leave the waitress sees me leaving and asks if I still wanted the cup………… at that point I had to assume I was getting trolled, ain’t no way. I tipped, wish I didn’t but I did.
