    Katsu California Roll Hamburger cut in half
    Caitlin V.

    My husband and I came here once or twice years ago and it was really good. Since we were in the area, we decided to come here with our kids. We were expecting to wait, but we got seated right away. The food was good, but not as good as we remembered. We got the King Kobe and Katsu California Roll Burger.

    Came here for a group dinner and it was very empty so I was a bit surprised by that. I ended up getting the katsu California roll burger because I saw all the reviews about it. Unfortunately I thought it was just ok. The other people in my group got the creole pasta, lamb chops and tuna salad. They all seemed to enjoy theirs and the pasta looked really good. If I come back, I definitely want to try the pasta.

    Love love. Such a cute decorated place and great staff! Came for a birthday celebration and the staff took care of us from start to finish. We tried so much food and everyone was more than satisfied. Definitely suggest their garlic cheese bread, house salad, steak and frites dishes.

    A must visit brunch place not too far from the beach. Beautiful indoor and outdoor space to eat and hang. The restaurant gets busy and the service is superb. Big menu with plenty of options. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the options.

    Came to 26 Beach restaurant for a friend Galentine's event we were seated in a private area for a group of 10. The ambience nice for a girls brunch. The musical was pretty calming. The waiter was attentive. Our food was fresh and good. I ordered the black sheep burger with fries an easy Meal choice to go for. Friends also had a different burger and salad and another had a sandwich but overall the food options are diverse and gives you a variety to choose from also in my party they had alcoholic and alcoholic drinks. Highly recommend this restaurant. I went on a Sunday when there was free street parking.

    10/1/25 I came here with my coworkers for dinner and it was such a great experience. I ordered the lamb chops with mashed potatoes and green beans along with a lychee martini. Everything was absolutely fantastic. We shared cheesy toasted bread and Brussels sprouts as appetizers and they were just as delicious. The service was quick and friendly and the ambience was beautiful. The decor felt like something out of a movie, very enchanting and thoughtfully done. I would definitely come back in the future. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for a unique and memorable dining experience.

    26 Beach is a really fun and an eclectic place to have a nice meal, you could almost call it Bohemian, but the food quality is very good so that alone makes it worth a visit. I have been for dinner a few times, but stopped in for my first time for brunch this past weekend and had a great meal. We were a party of two arriving around 10 AM on Saturday. We did not have to wait at all to be seated and service the entire meal was very fast. There is a free parking lot directly behind the restaurant, the entrance is a very narrow alley directly to the right of the front door of the restaurant. Just go down that and behind the restaurant you will see at least 6-8 spaces. We started off our meal with a couple of iced lattes and thought they were very good. We ordered with French vanilla and it was honestly really nice. For my breakfast I chose the Baja Benedict and really enjoyed it. It was a large sized portion, so I was certainly not hungry at all after finishing it. Others at our table or the French Toast and they were hit as well. I would definitely recommend this place and being that I live very close by I will be back again in the near future.

    Stopped by for a Saturday brunch. Street parking was not difficult although it's off of Washington which is a fairly busy street. They were quick to seat us, we had no wait. The service was warm and friendly. I got a coffee (meh) and the salmon royale (scrambled eggs, smoked salmon, cream cheese, asparagus, olives over a bed of brown rice). My fiance got a chai latte and the crab royale. I was pretty satisfied with my meal, pretty filling with good amounts of salmon. I think the flavors worked well if you are into olives and smoked salmon. Coffee could have been better- seems like the cocktails are popular looking around. The vibe inside is bright, colorful, definitely feels very "LA"!

    March 22, 2025 | Venice: What a fun restaurant with delicious food, including huge portions, & all-around eclectic vibes! It's an exciting visit each and every time! Smoked Salmon Royal : Absolutely delicious, full of flavor! Salmon slices are plentiful throughout as well! It's easily one of my favorite scrambles/omelettes!! Yum! French Toast: Guava-stuffed & topped with bananas! Delicious! The bread is both thick and fluffy! Each French toast dish I've tried here has been delicious, some sweeter than others, my favorite being the decadent savory ones! Yum!! Decor: Fun, eclectic & upbeat! In the midst of a pink rose-adorned mirror, a soothing fountain filled with pink roses, fun painted graphics on the wall, including framed photos, you can't help but smile! The energy is definitely fun here! Crowd | Vibe: Mixed! While introducing a friend to this restaurant, we were surrounded by a huge excitable party at a long table w/cheetah print seats & gifts in hand, couples, as well as girls & guys who brunch! I've introduced several friends to this place! I highly recommend this reservations! Grateful: When we first arrived, only seating inside was available, which is just as stylish and gorgeous! While looking at the menu, I inquired about the patio and our super sweet server returned to the table minutes later and let us know that a table was now available! I was incredibly grateful and excited, as outside is a whole vibe! Overall: Yes, please! What a delicious way to brunch! I'm excited by the delicious food, upbeat surroundings, and friendly customer service from start to finish! I'm always excited to die in here, thanks again!!

    The vibe is cozy and quirky, and the food is consistently amazing. I had the apple cinnamon Frw's h toast which was made with a croissant -super creative and packed with flavor but not for me. The scrambles are good and the drinks are good. Service is always friendly, and the portions are generous. Definitely a go-to spot for brunch and a cute vibe. Highly recommend! I've been here a few times and street parking is always annoying and realized they have a little back lot to park in for next time.

    I just had my birthday lunch at 26 Beach using my birthday coupon that they sent me for a free burger and fries. I had the Black Sheep burger. It was absolutely delicious. The fries were perfection. I signed up for the birthday club a while back and forgot about it so I was surprised to see this coupon in my email. I recommend everybody sign up for the birthday club. You have to use the coupon for the free Black Sheep burger and french fries on the day of your birthday, but why wouldn't you! The burger was quite filling and had all the bells and whistles. It was savory delicious. The pickles were crisp. The onion was perfect. The lettuce was fresh and I was absolutely perfection. My friend ordered brussels sprouts which were also roasted to perfection. She almost ordered a second serving. They were so delicious. I highly recommend going here for lunch dinner or a brunch.

    Hadn't been here in a minute. With the outdoor covered area and chance to imbibe in some bottomless mimosas, we thought brunch sounded like it would be chill here on a Sunday. It was. A bit too much. Service was slow. The vibe was so stale. And when our lemon ricotta french toast came out with a cook's hair... we were glad that at least we had gotten to divulge in some delish drinks and the Diablo Royal that came overs bed of brown rice. Yum! The waiter brought us another replacement plate so they can charge us but yah... it wasn't overall what we remembered it to be back in the day. Outdated furniture, Christmas tee and decorations still hanging around trying to get our attention that the new year hadn't begun yet. Our waiter was lovely, attentive and professional about the whole hair situation. She was clearly overworked though. All the stars go to her and her amazing attitude despite it all!! Parking is horrid so not a huge incentive either on the giant blvd down the street from the beach. Oh well..... we made the most of it but we likely won't be back.

    Ask the Community - 26 Beach Restaurant

    Do they have anything vegan for brunch or lunch?

    I know they have a mushroom burger (which you can ask to hold the mayo), and a curry veggie burner, but that's all I've seen.

    How is parking during brunch hours? Valet? Street? Parking structure?

    Parking is not ideal - not gonna lie. It's street parking most of the time but I do think they sometimes do have valet... May have changed during Covid. I live close so I just walk. May want to just call them to double check.

    Do you check vaccine status?

    Yep.

    Does it have outdoor dining?

    Well, sort of. It is in a large patio, but the patio is covered. It is outside, but not really. It is a great place and I think you will like it. Sometimes they do have sidewalk seating but I did not see that last time I was there.

    Are dogs allowed in the garden- not on the street? Thanks!

    Do you serve bottomless mimosas for brunch?

    Yes

    Are you open for dine in now?

    Yes

    Does this place have bottomless mimosas?

    Yes! $15 per person

    Do they have high chairs?

    Yes!

    Will there be bottomless mimosas on Monday, which is a holiday?

    Nope! I went on a Monday that happened to be a holiday and they said no Bottomless Mimosas because of the holiday.

    Hi, what is the maximum occupancy?

    In the whole place? Under 100 I would guess. We sat at a huge long table and had 15 in our party

    Is there a kid's menu?

    I highly doubt it. Not really that kind of place but the people are very nice. Maybe ask for half portion or an xtra plate?

    Are there any gluten free options on the lunch menu?

    There are so many options, it would be easy to build your own GF selections. http://www.26beach.com/menu.html

    Is breakfast/brunch items served all day?

    I believe breakfast is served till 3p.

    Do you serve Endless mimosas?

    Yes we have Bottomless mimosas Mondays through Fridays from 8am-11am

    Is there bottomless mimosas on the weekends?

    Nope

    Trying to locate some local spots to take my dog to. Is this Pet friendly?

    There are some specific spots outside where your dog can be even if they are not service dogs.

We went to see the Mario movie because it was $6 Tuesday, and the movie ended a little after 9, so we rushed over knowing Hopdoddy closes at 10. When we walked in, they were already mopping floors with chairs up on tables on one side, but there were still a few people eating in the bar area, so we figured we were okay. We ordered a Thunderbird bowl (dressing on the side), the burger of the month, the Smothered Texan (free, because we're Legendary status) a doble fina margarita with a tajín rim, and a Sam Adams draft. I checked the time when we finished ordering--9:34 on the dot--because it already felt like the kitchen was trying to shut things down early. We sit down, chatting, all good... until we realize our drinks haven't come. We're seated in the bar area, so we can literally see the bartender chatting with a couple, NOT making drinks. Then our food arrives. Still no drinks. I ordered a chicken patty, which typically takes longer to cook, so there's really no reason for food to beat the drinks out. I check the time again and it's 9:45. I'm about to get up, but I see the bartender finally pouring the draft, so I wait it out. Then I realize my bowl came with no dressing at all, so I get up to ask for it. On my way back, I pass the drink pickup area and see my husband's beer just sitting there... next to my empty margarita glass. Meanwhile, the bartender is back to chatting instead of finishing the drink. I had planned to just grab the drinks myself to save the server a trip, but instead I'm standing there trying to get the bartender's attention--or at least hoping he'd mix the margarita while he talked. He eventually noticed me and started making it, but by then my food was sitting at the table getting cold, so I went back to sit down. I didn't even get a chance to take a picture of the Smothered Texan because by the time I got back my husband was almost done with it. The drinks finally arrived at 9:50. And to add insult to injury... the tajín rim was barely there. Honestly, I waited tables all through college and I get that it's annoying when people come in close to closing (especially on a Tues) but the experience shouldn't feel like you're inconveniencing the staff for being there. Between the missing dressing, the drinks sitting untouched, and the bartender prioritizing conversation over service, the whole night just felt off. Disappointing, especially since this has always been one of our go-to spots.

    I finally understand why this place has 4.9 stars instead of a perfect 5…read more I was walking around Venice Beach looking for a good burger and kept seeing great reviews for Burger Spot. Since I was specifically craving a smash burger, I decided to give it a try. The good news? The food was exactly what I came for. The smash burger was juicy, flavorful, and cooked right. The fries were good, too. And as a bonus, they had Cherry Coke Zero -- which is surprisingly hard to find these days. For about $15 including the drink, I thought the price was completely fair for Venice. So why am I talking about 4.9 stars? Because my wife ordered lunch from the Italian place right next door. That's when an interesting comparison happened. I waited about 15-20 minutes for my order. When it was ready, I got up and picked it up myself. The burger came in a takeout container. After I finished eating, I threw everything away myself. Meanwhile, my wife received her food in about five minutes. It was served on a real plate. Someone brought it to the table. Later, a staff member came by to ask if everything tasted good and if she needed anything else. The funny part? She paid only a few dollars more than I did. Both of us left the highest tip option the terminal offered because we appreciated the effort and wanted to support local businesses. And that's exactly when it clicked. Burger Spot serves a very good burger. In fact, I'd happily come back. The food deserves the reputation. But when the restaurant next door delivers a noticeably better overall experience for almost the same money, the difference becomes impossible not to notice. So yes, I'm still giving Burger Spot 5 stars. The burger was good. The fries were good. The price was fair. But if the owners ever wonder what separates 4.9 from a perfect 5.0, they don't need to look very far. Just look at the neighbors. No hard feelings -- that's simply what I experienced as a customer. And if Burger Spot matches its service to the quality of its food, they'll have something truly special.

    Hands down, this is the best freaking smash burger spot in LA. It seriously does not get better…read morethan this.

It's clear they've put intentional effort into improving this week, as service was a highlight for us. Our waiter, Sunny, was so polite, quick, and communicative. He had a lot of tables to cover, as it was a packed and chaotic room during the Mexico vs. Ecuador game last night. The N17 burger and fries (both the regular shoe string fries and sweet potato fries) were fantastic! Both were cooked just right, very flavorful, and the fries were nice and crispy. The atmosphere and design of the restaurant in front isn't your typical "sports bar" - it feels more like a cute, sunny brunch restaurant with high-quality screens for sports viewing - but the clientele feels just like any other sports bar would :) It was very lively and fun to watch with others last night. For the World Cup, they've opened up their event space in the back which is not set up like a typical restaurant - but it was great for viewing! The screens are HUGE and very high-quality.

Listen, I understand being busy is one thing but blatantly ignoring paying customers that have been sitting and waiting to be served for 20-30 minutes after only ordering two drinks is strange to me. And then to come back and ask if we wanted to remove the items we already ordered without us having to bring it up just lets me know that you remembered all this time but chose not to serve us until someone had to go ask to be served AGAIN. Even other venues that are 5x bigger than this one have better customer service/attentiveness. We also ordered the bottomless mimosas and only got through 2 bottles because it took them 20 minutes to bring out the first one and another 15 to bring out the second one when it was asked for. And on top of that, they act like they're doing YOU a favor by bringing out the food & drinks that YOU paid for. I have never written a negative review before but this experience was awful; just a waste of money &, what should have been, a good time.
