    Fried Zucchini
    Adeeva M.

    Stopped here to grab a quick lunch and was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was. They have great lunch specials and are serving up many of the traditional items you would see on diner menus. I ended up just ordering zucchini fries for myself and they were delicious. I also tried some of their chicken which was good too. The service was nice, she gave good suggestions for meals. I like how they have an outdoor patio option for seating as well. Worth checking this place out!

    Menudo con Pata on the side, Delicioso!

    Amazing food and service. First off, the restaurant is impeccably clean, and the staff is friendly and attentive. Finally, the food is very well prepared, hot, and delicious. Today, on a cold, wet Sunday fun day morning, we decided to have menudo con pata--mmmm good. I'm a foodie and highly recommend.

    I paid 6.79 for each taco

    Food is ok. Service is subpar, which I guess for a joint like this is to be expected. A massive issue is the price shown on the menu is different from the price you pay. I ordered two crispy fish tacos which were $5.79 each on the menu. However after I paid I noticed on the receipt they charged me for $6.79 each. When I went back to the counter and asked they just shrugged and since I was in a hurry there wasn't anything I can do. Won't be coming here or any other locations again and I stronger recommend you pay extra attention when you get food here.

    Breakfast please

    This place has quite a menu. Everything is pretty much delicious, especially their burrito. I've been coming here for their breakfast burrito or their Asada Burrito. Both are great choices. Today was something different. I was craving for something usual like chicken, and they have few choices when it comes to chicken. Like the fried chicken meal or chicken strip, but the chicken wings caught my eyes. Well, hellooo, Chicken Wings! Yummy in my tummy. Was pretty quiet during this hour, so ordering was a breeze. The lady that was taking the orders was pretty nice. She didn't rush you, but she did acknowledge you in case you were ready to order. So, thank you for your patience. She was polite and kind with a great vibe in general. Let's dive right into the good stuff, but if my ways of describing things don't please you. Take a look at some of the pictures I've attached to this review. My orders are, Main: 1. CHICKEN WINGS BASKET WITH FRIES 6 PCS FRIED CHICKEN WINGS WITH A CHOICE OF SAUCE / NATURAL-CUT FRENCH FRIES The Wings was good and well season, but it's was a little too crispy as in, the meat almost disappeared but it was good. The Fries was perfect! Was crisp and delicious. Cook to order same goes for the wings. Who doesn't love a good Fries, let's go. I recommend this location due to their good customer service experience. Very clean and sanitized. Their parking lot is spacious and easy access. This place is unique in their own way, from design and presentation, it's pretty nice. If you're in the area, stop by and say hi. Enjoy it here or on the go. Share your experience. P.s. Don't forget to smile cause you're beautiful. SYOY!

    This is what I got. The portion gotten smaller .

    I orded some chili cheese fries, and I noticed the portion was a lot smaller than what I got last time. It was almost empty compared to before. It seems like the portions have gotten smaller lately. Just wanted to point it out in case it's something that can be looked into."

    Mediterranean plate is good, so is the chicken plate, kids love the Carne asada fries

    French Toast
    Senia O.

    Well I ordered through Grub Hub. The coffee had spilled all through the paper bag so the sugar packets where not usable. The coffee smelled great and fresh but little strong The food , unfortunately wasn't anything to rave about As it tast just like any other french toast combo. However, My bacon was not Burnt.

My son got the behemoth that unbeknownst to us is sandwiched between two grilled cheese sandwiches. Stacked heavy and it defeated him. I got the Napalm Death and it didn't disappoint. Huge, messy, spicy, and the cream cheese worked super well against the stacks of spicy (jalapeños, jalapeño poppers, sriracha). An order of Primate Fries are easily a portion for 2-3 with burgers this huge. Friendly and dogs allowed everywhere. Worth the stop.

I've been in Long Beach for years now and have always just passed by this unassuming place, as it sort of blends in with the other small spots around here, but honestly, that should be why it stands out. It's all of these small spots that keep us all fed during these dark times. The atmosphere here is down to earth retro, and takes you back to simpler times for sure. The people here come from all walks of life, enjoying a big plate of something. The workers here are all wonderful and treat you like you came home for a meal cooked by a people who care about you. If you're here for breakfast, get the steak and eggs and a strong cup of drip coffee to go with it. Lunch and dinner, get a burger or a dinner plate. Nothing can go wrong. I would defend this place and its workers with my life.

Occasionally I would crave the fast food route and just go with something fast and easy. Well, it was wishful thinking. Right from the start with pulling into the driveway, the place was packed. There was 2 spots available for parking as we wanted to walk in and order but that didn't happened. The line to drive through wasn't moving so there was no way to park. Ended up just walking out while someone was waiting to park. Even when you walk in, the place was a little dysfunctional. People were just standing around so you didn't know who needed to order or who was waiting. There were 6 people infront of me waiting to order. The whole restaurant was packed so it must be good. Plus it could also be spring break and one of the places that was still open. Who knows.. The menu was a mixture of everything. You have breakfast dishes, sandwiches, burgers, salads, Mexican dishes and main entrees. A pleather of everything and the prices was very reasonable. I went with an order of the chicken quesadilla which was served with a heap of guacamole and shredded lettuce on the side. Portion was pretty massive for what it was. And an order of the chicken club sandwich which came with fries. Another item that was pretty massive. Plus a medium order of onion rings. If that order was medium, I wonder what the large would be as it was pretty big already. Plus they were ok, not major. They asked if you wanted chili peppers and ketchup upon pickup but ranch was an additional 1.05 if needed. With all that waiting and leaving, we noticed that the car infront of us when we drove in also left around the same time when they did drive through. I don't know what was going on last night but it sure brought out everyone. I guess it's a happening place. For the price, the food was quite nice and decent. It was pretty big for the order and very well priced.

I started with a cup of their beef and barley soup. My wife and I both make this at home from scratch and we're both impressed by theirs. My wife took a taste of mine and instantly ordered her own. Very rich and flavorful. I kept looking at photos of their take on chicken and waffles and knew I had to try it. Seriously epic and was good as it looked. They coated the chicken in a chili rub that gave it a sweet and spicy flavor when paired with their maple syrup. Served on top of a waffle and topped with an egg. I loved it and would probably order again on my next visit. My wife had the American plate which was your classic eggs, bacon, potatoes, and sourdough toast combo. High quality ingredients elevated it beyond your typical diner food. Drinks were great too. I had their house made bloody mary which had a nice kick to it. My wife had their brunch version of a Corpse Reviver cocktail. After our meals were done we finished with an Irish coffee since everyone was ordering them. Perfect service, relaxing atmosphere, and delicious food will definitely have me returning very soon! Parking is free for 2 hours at the nearby garage on 3rd and is a very short walk.

TLDR; It's expensive, and not worth the routine visit, but worth the one-time stop in to experience the festivities. The Miracle pop-up at The Ordinarie is somehow even more decorated and extravagant than you'd expect from a seasonal pop-up. The line looks long outside, as there are no reservations, but it moves quickly since they hold everybody to a pretty strict 2-hour time limit. The drinks are good, the cups are cute, and everyone is festive. It's an all-around fun experience.  I think because of this, you do pay a premium price tag for food and drinks that are just good or okay. I think it's something that is worth the visit if you've never been and you enjoy getting into the Christmas spirit. I think that outside of the pop-up, The Ordinarie is a fun spot to check out in Long Beach. It't not a pillar of the food scene if you're a tourist, but it is a good, late night spot if you work in the industry nearby. They have a great late-night menu with a killer smash burger.

Their online menu does not indicate the sides available. It was at this time, 9 minutes later hung up. I tried to call back and the line was obviously busy.

I ordered 2 burgers, a double cheeseburger and a bacon cheeseburger both with fries. To make matters worse the cheese was not even melted on the burger. Just a cold slice of cheese on both burgers. I had bit into the burger before realizing the cheese was cold and not melted or soft. I'm going to give Poly Burgers a rest. Today's experience was frustrating.
