    Lighthouse burger
    Gwen C.

    Castaways was the highlight of our Long Beach visit. The decor inside is awesome - lots of very cool photos of Long Beach from the past - and the vibes are great. It's very centrally located on the main strip. We ended up sitting at the bar to avoid a wait for a table (the entire bar section is open seating) and the bartender was super friendly. I ordered a steelhead burger with garlic fries off the specials menu and my husband got the Lighthouse cheeseburger. The food came out super fast and was SO delicious. I'll be thinking about those garlic fries for a very long time. The food was hot, super fresh, and so tasty. I cannot wait to go back and try some more things off the menu!

    We had a lovely first meal on the coast here. We were quite surprised because we just went here on a whim without much research. My husband a tasty bowl of chowder then fish tacos that were absolutely perfect. My seared tuna bowl was fresh and delicious. The ambience was a bit sporty but everyone was pleasant. Service was sufficient.

    Last visit was back in 2013, time for an update. Again, this was our first meal after arriving in Long Beach (6/16/25). Nice to see it thrive after our previous visit 12 years ago. We timed it well because both the bar and restaurant was full house during our onsite meal. We shared their clam chowder. Tasty. I opted for the Club Sandwich with garlic tots. Goodness such a generous entree. This took me three sittings to finish it. The Homie had the Captain's Plate which included cod, clam strips, oysters, and shrimp. All well battered, seafood remained tender, and perfectly executed. This came with sides like broccolini, sweet potatoes, and whipped garlic potatoes. I snagged some bites...wow, flavor packed! Our waitperson was very friendly, checked in on us, and kept us well hydrated. No room for dessert, but we patted our stomachs carrying our takeout boxes back to the car. Great bang for your culinary buck!

    The Castaway is a cozy spot that feels warm and inviting when you walk in. Miss Carly was our server and she took great care of us. Tasted their chowder also and it is absolutely delicious! Definitely worth a visit when you are in town.

    Seared Ahi Cafe Salad
    Nancy K.

    I had a great dinner this evening, the Ahi Tuna Csfe Salad. The tuna slices were coated in sesame seeds and expertly seared. Beautiful! Gorgeous avocado, diced mango, cucumbers, greens and a sesame dressing. Yum! I got through half of it and will enjoy the rest tomorrow. Lovely server, checked in on us a couple of times, which is appreciated. My sweetie got the salmon and enjoyed it.

    Stopped in on a Saturday during the lunch rush for a quick bite and were seated right away. Our server, Sydney, was fantastic! We were craving clam chowder and fried seafood, and this place delivered exactly what we were looking for. The modern beachy, coastal-town vibe was spot on, and the decor perfectly captured the charm of Long Beach. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town!

    This place would perfect to come for a date night. Food was delicious (with the exception of the seared ahi, not much flavor and wasn't a good eating experience as there was the stringy part of the ahi made it hard to cut/eat). The appetizers were great. My pasta dish was good however it was a little heavier than I expected. The way it was described on the menu it sounded like a lighter dish. Service was good, we had a large table and she was very attentive to us. Nice place to grab a bite in Long Beach.

    Great food but Yelp incorrectly lists this business as Dogs Allowed which is not the case.
