    Their tots and Mac & Cheese are honestly impressive! Reminds me of Black family functions of ours!
    Glen C.

    Tyrone... Cluck & Blaze, mannnnn! I had this years ago and I still cannot stop thinking about it! I NEED to come back and come with an empty stomach to fill and consume for the rest of the damn day when I do! Their chicken is seasoned well with their own little secret herbals n' such. Even their Mac & Cheese was well seasoned and tasted like you're at a Black family's function. Their regular bone-in chicken hitsssss. Chicken sandos here are firrre based on how much you want your anus to yoga flame; but I mean that in a respectful way because they somehow know how to perfectly balance out the fire and the flavor! Wash all that down with their pulp fresh Raspberry Lemonade and you got a perfect high calorie, but delicious all day fulfilling meal, mannn! But yeah... this place is clean, along with their nice restroom with other cool chicken propaganda in it. Customer service was very good! The lady who helped us didn't simp on the sauces and she gives great details and suggestions while also checking on us always! I NEED to come back here when I can! Gotta make sure I'm off from work the next day though; otherwise my chamber of farts and toilet Oppenheimer will be the results! I mean that truthfully and respectfully as a compliment saying that I'm willing to risk and take the repercussions to enjoy this amazing food!! Stuff that thou partookith: - Raspberry Lemonade - Medium & Mild Main Chick Combo with Tots and Mac & Cheese - 2 wings with bread.

    The food was so good. I ordered the side chick combo and it was so crispy and flavorful. My son order the breakfast burrito and he enjoyed it. The service was very friendly and helpful. Ambiance inside was quite they had the FIFA match on. Went when they opened so it was slow. Parking is good and they have a small seating section inside.

    I went in today with the expectation that I would be a big back and order a lot. I ordered the main chick AND Jerry style burrito with the banana pudding as a desert. And let me tell you. The food made my toes curl in delight. The owner is super nice and welcoming, he takes great care in his restaurant. Love this place and would recommend it to anybody with a real spice tolerance.

    The Original Nashville Hot Breakfast Burrito*

    This may be the most underrated breakfast burrito in Long Beach. I mean, I would think that a Nashville Hot Fried Chicken Breakfast Burrito would be on everybody's hit list, but it's surprisingly empty every time that I come in here.  This burrito is awesome. The nashville hot chicken is so crispy and flavorful. I get medium/hot depending on how I'm feeling. It's actually pretty spicy though! I think this burrito is just crafted really well, like the scrambled egg is not just scrambled and thrown into the burrito. THey cook it in a thin sheet, and roll it up with the burrito, so you get an even bite of egg (and everything else) throughout the burrito. The hashbrowns inside are also preferable to just plain potatoes in any breakfast burrito. It's cheesy, and that sauce is really good too. Maybe even get some extra sauce on the side to cut the heat.  It's bomb, and you should put this on your list of must-have breakfast burritos in Long Beach.

    The breakfast burrito leaves something to be desired. I came here after work to grab a quick bite before heading home. I got the original Nashville breakfast burrito and felt like it was missing something... or maybe two things. The flavor was pretty mild and the chicken was dry. I tried compensating for it with some hot sauce to help fill it back in but it could only do so much. The service was good. The worker took my order promptly and accurately. The wait wasn't terrible but a bit longer than I expected - it was also a hot day but felt even hotter in the restaurant. They do have indoor seating, which is nice, but I wouldn't want to sit inside unless it was a cold day and I needed to stay warm. Overall, it's ok to try, I don't know if I'd try it again. I don't think I'll go out of my way to try it again, but if someone suggests it then I'll get something

    The Main Chick Combo*
    Cynthia A.

    Food was delicious! I'd definitely come here again.. the main chick was good BUT a lot of food if you want to share you can split it. Ohh and I got medium! It wasn't toooo spicy. Also, their fries delicious, mac and cheese was good to try, but I'd get the fries again w/ comeback sauce and honey mustard.. also, raspberry lemonade so yummy! Next time I'll get the side chick or try their burritos they sound pretty good! Service was great.. it was empty for dine in, but a lot of pick up orders for sure! I was bummed they didn't have banana pudding tho.. I guess next time!

    tender combo + side chick combo
    Rachel Z.

    i didnt realize until halfway through my first tender that I think they accidentally gave me an extra tender but that just makes the experience even better. their chicken is so juicy and so delicious. the mac and cheese is unbelievably creamy and cheesy, of course. our ordering process was quick, as they have two tablets to order from, or you can order directly with someone. lots of seating inside, and parking just out front. the wait wasn't too long. extremely filling, very satisfied

    Sorry it was good so I couldn't wait
    Cindy P.

    The boys are craving fried chicken and we are on the hunt for it ! Let me tell you they were not joking when they say "call mom" it is spicy ! I got myself their famous clucking fries and it is surprisingly good! The boys love it so we're all happy .The new owners are sweet and polite ! Definitely coming back !

    The Side Chick
    Sal C.

    The fries were golden, well-seasoned, and had a perfect crunch. The burrito was huge, packed really well, and not soggy at all. Everything inside worked together, from the tater tots to the egg and chicken. Their chicken is flavorful, juicy, and crispy. The sandwich also looked amazing, with soft buns and tender chicken that brought all the flavors together. Overall, everything was fresh, well-made, and seriously satisfying.

    Not sure what happened, but medium don't even feel like a lite mild. Fries tasted like freezer burn. Mac n cheese is okay, but it was overdone. Service is quick, but when you pay over $19. You expect better tasting HOT chicken. They have tv's and music. No restroom. Sad that this place has lost its touch.

    Food was okay though I've had better spicy chicken sandwiches. Prices were a bit high

    Is it worth driving an hour to try the food? It looks amazing but is it worth the drive?

    Although it's very good and maybe a click above other chicken sandwiches, I don't think it's worth an hour drive. unless, you are going to do other things in Long Beach to justify such a long drive.

    There's nothing like eating a Nashville hot chicken at Jay Bird's inside of the Hangar (Long Beach,…read moreCalifornia). i've came here twice already. Let me tell you, this is a very good spot if you want quick casual food, and that's tasty. During my 1st visit.... I ordered the chicken sandwich (mild heat) and fries... with extra comeback sauce aside. I must say, this gonna be the tastiest chicken sandwich I've tasted. Chicken is cooked perfectly: With the extra sauce, I was able to enjoy it alot more. For the 2nd visit, mac daddy and fries (chicken sandwich with mac and cheese). I normally don't eat chicken sandwich with mac and cheese, but it looks real good. Sure enough, it was delicious. Service is quick and great. Overall.... if you good food inside the hangar, this is your best bet.

    Jay Bird's Chicken - Mac Daddy Sandwich Review 2.5/5 stars…read moreI went in hyped for their signature Mac Daddy--a Nashville hot chicken sandwich topped with mac & cheese, comeback sauce, and served on a brioche bun (usually with spicy fries on the side). It's one of their most popular items, and plenty of people rave about the juicy chicken and creative twist. Unfortunately, it fell flat for me. The chicken itself was mediocre at best--decently crispy on the outside and juicy enough, but it lacked that bold, flavorful punch you expect from real Nashville hot spots. The seasoning felt muted compared to places like Howlin' Rays, Dave's, or even Prince's back in Nashville. It just didn't have the same depth or soul in the spice blend. The "hot" level was a big letdown too. I went for some heat, but there was barely any burn or lingering kick--it was more like mild cayenne vibes than anything that lives up to the Nashville hot name. Same issue with the tenders; they were fine texturally but underwhelming in flavor and spice. The mac & cheese topping was okay--creamy and cheesy--but it didn't elevate the sandwich much. Overall, it felt like a gimmicky add-on rather than a game-changer, and the whole thing came across as average fast-casual fried chicken rather than standout hot chicken. If you're craving legit flavorful, fiery Nashville-style chicken in the LA area, I'd probably skip Jay Bird's and hit up one of the heavier hitters instead. Solid concept, but execution was just meh this time. Maybe consistency varies by location or day, but based on this visit: not worth a repeat for me.

    ***UPDATE FOLLOWING DIANA M'S *EDITED* RESPONSE***…read more After deleting her prior response to this review, she is now just focusing on the complaint about the online service fee. I never suggested that it was a "hidden fee", I just pointed out that it is a very high fee for ordering online. As pointed out before, ordering online directly from a restaurant does not usually incur a fee, let alone a $6 fee. If Diana feels that ordering online is so onerous, then maybe she should deactivate that feature and encourage her customers to phone in their orders. Diana should also consider not badgering customers that did not have a good experience with her restaurant and consider taking some classes in Customer Service 101. It's not a good way to run a business and the fastest way to lose customers. ***UPDATE FOLLOWING DIANA M's RESPONSE*** It's unfortunate that the owner responded with excuses and condescension. A simple "Hey, sorry for the mishap, we will make sure it won't happen again" would have sufficed. At least that way, she likely would have had a returning customer since the food is good. But now, no way Jose. And the $5.00 online service fee is egregious. I order quite a bit online and always try to order directly through the restaurants website to avoid fees. I don't know if any other restaurants that charge fees to order online unless there is a delivery involved. --------------------------- Well, not sure what to say. We put in an online order last night, which went through with a $4.95 service fee. (We ordered through their direct site rather than a third party sight to save on fees) If that wasn't bad enough, I showed up at the designated pick up time, and the place was closed. WTF? About an hour later, we were refunded our money, but why is the website taking orders and collecting payments when you're not even open? Talk about inconvenience. And clearly their posted operating hours are inconsistent.

Our favorite item is the massive wet burrito they offer. Takes 4 to 5 people to finish it employees always very kind and nice. Never takes long to get your food . Small parking area but worth every effort. There is a couple benches with shade if you want to eat there.

    Saw enough good things about the rotisserie chicken at El Pollo Dorado, to make a conscience effort…read moreto drive out here to pick up a family meal to go. The service was good and the rotisserie chicken was solid, but the sides were not. The PCH here is quite busy with cars, so good that there is a small dedicated parking lot. One orders and pay from the window, and there are 4 cafeteria style tables indoors. It took about 5 minutes for the order to be prepared, and was well wrapped for carry out. The mini-pak ($22.99) consists of one whole, chopped up chicken with sides of beans, potato salad, and chicken rice. It comes with tortillas and salsa. The one outstanding thing about the meal was the well crisped and flavorful chicken skin. As for the meat, the dark thigh meat was really good, the white meat OK, but the drumstick meat was dry/gummy/mealy. And the chicken size was about the one that comes from a regular grocery store (not Costco). I liked the potato salad, as the potato pieces were chopped pretty fine, and the chicken rice did have chicken pieces in it, but wasn't particularly flavorful. The beans were bland, and the tortillas even more so. There is a more famous grilled chicken chain, that is closer, cheaper, and somewhat better tasting for me. Always good to try new places though.

    Serving up Louisiana style fried chicken in the LA area, Louisiana Famous Fried Chicken has over…read more100 locations throughout the US, though none in Louisiana itself. Our group of four had a chance to stop by for an early dine-in dinner, and found the chicken to well prepared and tasty. Originally founded in 1976 in Los Angeles by a enterprising franchisee who wanted to create his own fast food brand, Louisiana Famous Fried Chicken soon became very popular with LA residents. As sometimes happens with immigrant communities by word of mouth and 'paying it forward', the burgeoning Cambodians began to be the majority owners of franchisees, until it resulted in the brand being sold to a Cambodian in 2009. Considering the largest concentration of Cambodians outside of Cambodia is in Long Beach, California, I wanted to try this particular location. They also sell donuts here, and my credit card bill actually listed the donut shop as the vendor...this for me is not a selling point, but was not noticeable during our visit. It's a walk-up set-up, where you order/pay for your food through security windows. We ordered a 12-piece family combo for $35.45, which included 3 pieces of breast/thigh/wing/leg, 2 small orders of fries, a coleslaw and 6 rolls. They also sell fried catfish and shrimp, so got a 4 pc shrimp ($3.85). They only sell drinks by cans or bottles, so got 4 cans of Coke/Pepsi/Squirt. It is clearly stated that each order is fried fresh, taking about 20 minutes. Our order was ready in 15 minutes, and we decided to dine-in (a small makeshift outdoor dining area with temporary tables was set-up). The chicken was well brined and had been fried well (leaving plenty of space between the chicken), with the outer coat being crunchy with a little bit of spice. For me it tasted very similar to the popular national chain, but with more consistency. The 'small' fries were not that at all, but very large...with one being enough to feed the four of us. The fries looked underdone, but were not. There were no condiments available, so the saving grace was the thin hot sauce that you could dip your fries and chicken into. The rolls were forgettable, and the coleslaw was grocery store quality (which I actually like). In fact, the chicken and sides reminded me of what you could get at a grocery store deli, except always getting the chicken fresh, instead of ones that have been fried too many to a basket and sitting too long under a heat lamp. Freshness definitely matters here. There was plenty of food for the 4 of us, with us taking half of the meal home. It reheated very well, providing us a good lunch the following day.

    Recently stopped by Beach City Deli & BBQ after seeing recommendations online and decided to order…read morethe Big Kahuna. Honestly, one of the best sandwiches I've had in a long time. The pineapple added to what's basically a Cuban style sandwich sounds different at first, but it works perfectly. The balance of sweet, savory, crispy, and smoky was spot on. Everything tasted super fresh and the bread held everything together perfectly without getting soggy. My original plan was to eat half and save the rest for later... yeah, that didn't happen. Ended up finishing the whole thing because it was that good. Service was friendly, food came out quick, and the whole spot had a really chill local vibe. Definitely a hidden gem if you're in the area. Highly recommend this place and I'll for sure be back to try more off the menu.

But, I understand. That particular sandwich is loaded with 6 kinds of meat. The contingency sandwich became the Big Bucky, w/ the choice of 3 meats. Soppressata, mortadella, bacon, extra onions, pickles & tomatoes. A satisfying, filling sub sandwich that made for a pleasurable lunch. A nominal wait, the meat were freshly sliced, and assembling the sandwich with plump & crisp vegetables, it was worth every minute of delay. The cashier was friendly & a pleasure to deal with, too.
