A bit too much lettuce for my liking but still very good. Hot turkey sandwich 4/10. This was a miss primarily because the turkey had a rubbery texture to it. It's definitely not lunch meat like, you can tell it's real turkey. For some reason the bread was toasted which I've never seen done before. I'll stick to the club if I want turkey again. Onion rings. I really like how some are accidentally doubled. It reminds me of an onion pie my friends French wife made.

Another place I had been wanting to go to since forever. It's been around a long time, and has a…read moregood reputation. In other words, my kinda place. I'm still on my quest for the ultimate tuna melt, so decided to give theirs a try. It was delicious; the tuna mix was likely the tastiest I've found in my travels so far. A choice of sides came with it; I chose a decent-sized salad. Took at peak at what other diners were having, and everything I saw looked really good. Place was busy, which is always a good sign. I got there around little after noon, and only had a five minute wait myself. (Apparently, they were open late once upon a time, but important to keep in-mind they close at 3p these days.) My server was helpful, friendly and efficient. Atmosphere was everything I'd want in a diner. A great choice when one is remotely in the area!

Would have been better bringing my own bottle of Mrs. Butterworth. Service was weird and bad. Nobody came to greet us and offer water and take drink order for at least 5 minutes after seating. The servers, although polite, were not very friendly, quiet, not warm. The girl who brought out our food was creepy and quiet and barely spoke. Did not bring us utensils with food. My husband had to steal the utensils off the next table. The people working there don't seem happy. No music playing. The place is oddly quiet and dead, could only hear some conversations from nearby tables. Large tv playing Bob's Burgers just felt very empty and dead, no life. Almost $4 for a cup of coffee and they bring out the little mini moo creamers that have chemicals in them. I asked the server for some whole milk instead and it took forever to come. Save your money and time and just go to Eat At Joes in Redondo. That place actually has life and they know how to run a business.

The place is so comfortable and clean. It is not loud like a standard bar and there are places to sit that are super quiet. The service is super nice. They will take goo care of you. I love the music they play. I am so sick of elevator music and they don't do that. I really enjoy that. All of their food is great, but I am hooked on their salads. Their Sartori Caesar is one of my favorites. It has super fresh crisp romaine hearts with freshly grated parmesan cheese, sourdough croutons and house-made Caesar dressing. I love the dressing. Their Big Newport Wedge is better than most is has the best iceberg wedge topped with applewood smoked bacon, balsamic red onion, tomato and a great blue cheese dressing. All the food is great and we eat more than just salad, but their salad is a stand out.

Stopped by The Pan in Gardena located on the corner of Western Ave and 166th St., after noticing…read morethe rare sight of a smaller weekday or weekend crowd, and I'm glad we did. I ordered the "Original" Fully Loaded Hash Browns and a variety of pancakes were the star, crispy edges on my hash browns, generous toppings, and a portion size that could easily feed two people seriously. It's one of those dishes that feels indulgent in the best way. The restaurant has a relaxed, casual feel, and the service was impressively fast without losing any attention to detail. Parking is definitely tight, so plan on grabbing a spot along 166th if you're trying to beat the rush. A satisfying brunch experience with comfort food done right. Miguel C.

The steak was tender, juicy, and cooked just right. The breakfast potatoes were definitely a hit too. Even though they were packed, the service was still good. It's a small space. Just be prepared to wait a little if you're going on the weekend. Trust me, it's worth it. A solid breakfast spot that's been holding it down for years and one I'll definitely keep coming back to.

(There was a younger woman there and when I waved at her to ask her a question she saw then ignored, and when I went up to pay my bill the younger dark hair girl just said your server will be over to help you and walked away. While my server, Jean was clearly delivering several dishes) Anyways, Jean was friendly, made suggestions, offered small chat, she was warm and welcoming!!! The food... I think I'll give it a 3 1/2 stars. I ordered the chicken sandwich and home fries. The chicken was small and a little dry but still good The place itself, the ambience, is cute and gave old fashioned mom and pop vibes

Walking inside and recognizing a place I've seen on screen so many times was such a full-circle moment. I loved seeing all of the little details in person and, of course, taking way too many photos. It truly felt like stepping into the movie for a minute. Beyond the movie connection, George's has such a fun classic diner atmosphere. The retro 50s style gives it so much character and makes it feel like a little time capsule in the middle of Long Beach. The waitress was so sweet and our food was absolutely wonderful. As a huge fan of the movie, this was an absolute bucket-list stop for me and completely worth the visit. Seeing such an iconic filming location from a movie that has meant so much to me over the years was honestly a dream!

Hahaha! We went here because it's a Long Beach icon…read more The breakfast was good (hard to screw up breakfast). My Friday morning breakfast club all enjoyed our meals. Our only complaint is that the restroom facilities for the place are outside the restaurant on the far end of the parking lot ... like an outhouse!!! LMAO! Since our breakfast club are a bunch of old farts every one of us had to make the trip, one twice, so there were complaints all around. It is what it is,,this place has been around for some 70 or 80 years and is a historic site (at least at the city level) and no one would want them alter the building. But none of the guys are asking to go back there. And I don't imagine they will. The service was excellent. An older lady we joked has probably been there since George was the busboy, but that is not fair, she's only in her 50s or 60s. She was attentive and put up with our group of old men, and one in particular who kept trying to flirt with her. I do recommend George's. If you're under 70, the bathroom is not a big deal ... and yes, it was spotless.

I haven't had chocolate chip pancakes in honestly, way too long. That was my order for this day. I said bring on the chocolate chip pancakes!! I kid you not, after 10 minutes of ordering or so the food appeared. It was FAST. I was like wait she was JUST here?!, I was so taken back and impressed by the speed of service honestly. They were locked in back there in the kitchen. I have 0 complaints. The food hit the spot. I literally could not find anything to complain about. The pancakes were perfect, absolutely packed with chocolate chips. Super chocolatey and fluffy. Eggs and sausage are pretty standard, but still, no complaints from me. The salty and savory compliment the sweetness from all the chocolate chips. I was stuffed at the end. I finished my plate and had to be rolled out of there like a broken down tire. Phew. Amazing. Hits the spots. Sends you to sleep. Also like mentioned, wear your loose pants because their portions are generous! Parking is in the plaza. Restrooms are in the back left when you enter. They also have a cute gift shop with items as well as their bakery display case. The ambiance is just as you would imagine, it's a diner home feel. Cozy and warm.
