    Ordered their stuffed quesadilla a couple times in the past and it's always come out not too warm borderline cold. Ordered it again today and it came out super soggy and unraveled after 2-3 bites in the original packaging. Ended up just throwing it away.. Asked the cashier Daniel for some salsa and was told they had multiple roja salsas. Ended up choosing the spicy one and didn't end up getting the salsa either. Pretty upsetting and just going to settle with a microwave burrito unfortunately...

    Chicken avocado burrito that looks more like a bean and rice burrito.

    I had a really meaningful experience at this location thanks to Christina…read more I had just gone through a pretty devastating situation before coming in, and I was a bit all over the place. Christina met me with such a genuine smile and an eagerness to help that immediately made a difference. When I mentioned I wasn't quite myself, she showed me so much patience and grace and it didn't go unnoticed. Her kindness and understanding turned what could've just been a routine stop into something I truly appreciated. It's rare to come across someone who treats people with that level of care, especially in a busy setting. Thank you, Christina, for being so thoughtful and compassionate. Your service meant more than you probably realize.

    Warning: Do not use this drive thru. It is the worst fast food drive thru I have ever experienced…read more Getting in is a car accident hazard. Finding where the line starts is an adventure to say the least. The young woman who took my order outside was very slow and was allowing the cars to pile up behind her. I told her I needed to move forward after she sauntered over towards me. She took my order from the passenger side so I was basically screaming at her and she didn't take that as a social cue to move to the drivers side. She heard my dog barking in the car and was appalled, stepped back and gave me a dirty look. She corrected me after I said "animal fries" and called it something else...overall it was a terrible experience. My cashier was much lovelier and kinder. It seems the younger generation is less concerned with customer service and manners. I highly recommend going to a different location for your drive thru needs.

    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.

    BIRTHDAY MONTH=BIRTHDAY COUPONS=HAPPY RODNEY…read more Free 8 inch cold sandwich for VIP members (6 Way Italian not included) Big Bucky (choice of 3 meats) 6 way Italian is my usual go-to, so it's unfortunate the sandwich is no longer included in the birthday month promo. 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.

    This isn't my first Cane's rodeo. I used to hit up the Costa Mesa location a lot back when the…read morechain was first expanding in California. The core experience here is similar, but this location does a great job leaning into local Long Beach culture, something other reviewers said too. Cane's seems genuinely involved with local high schools, and the walls are lined with alumni photos and neighborhood history. Much appreciated. Service is fast, genuinely faster than In-N-Out, which is saying something for a California chain. The value is strong too, $10-15 usually gets you a solid amount of food. The standout is the Texas toast which is buttery, nicely crisped, and honestly kind of unique for a California fast food spot. The chicken itself is fine, nothing special, but it doesn't need to be great because the real star is the Cane's sauce. A smoky, tangy mayo-based dip that's genuinely distinctive. There's a reason you can find it bottled in grocery stores now. Fries are just okay, but again, everything's better with the sauce. A few downsides: the drive-through moves surprisingly slow for how popular it is (never seen it move fast, even on slow days). The interior can also feel overstimulating. The disco ball is charming but the lights are a bit much, and it gets loud. That's especially true late at night, since they're open until almost 4 AM and it draws a big crowd of post-club twenty-somethings and students from CSULB and Long Beach City College. If you can look past the slower drive-through and the sensory overload inside, it's a great spot for a late-night bite.

The chicken plate came out immediately and my sides which I can't remember what the eggplant one was called but it was smoky and delicious. Basmati rice was ample portion too much really for me. The chicken was super flavorful and the cucumber mint salad refreshing on the hot day! Grabbed an ice tea for the road and enjoyed my meal to go while watering my neighbors plants.

    I am extremely disappointed with my experience with Zankou Chicken. I ordered lunch directly from…read morethe restaurant, but because they require customers to use DoorDash for delivery, my meal was never delivered. When I contacted the restaurant to explain what happened, I expected them to show some concern or offer a solution. Instead, the manager told me there was nothing Zankou could do to make the situation right. That response was incredibly frustrating. I understand that DoorDash is a third-party delivery service, but when a restaurant requires customers to use that service, it should also take some responsibility for helping resolve delivery issues. Simply telling a paying customer that nothing can be done is not acceptable customer service. Good customer service isn't just about preparing good food--it's about standing behind the entire customer experience. Unfortunately, Zankou Chicken failed to do that in my case. Until they are willing to take ownership of problems that arise through the delivery service they require customers to use, I will be taking my business elsewhere.

    Five stars for the lovely lady who helped me the evening of 4/21, I think her name was Aishda? Or…read moreI might have rearranged those letters. Only caught a quick glimpse on her nametag. Sweet lady with the pretty name, you made my night. I'm the Kiddo who came in late around 9 or 10. My kid had a bad day at school, and a bad day at work. He came home and made dinner, which then promptly fell on the floor. His shoulders just slumped. I said, let me get you some Dave's (He loves DHC). I was also tired from a very long day at work, but drove there after pre-ordering. As soon as I walked in, there's this huge smile at the counter asking what can she do for me. I told her my kid placed an order. She found it and asked would I like any sauce and I said, I don't know. It's for my kid and she said, "I got you!" And proceeded to load me up with sauces she knew my kid would like as we chatted. She seemed to know I had a rough day and was as genuinely kind as she could be, and I'm sure she had been working all day as well and yet, she lit up the store. Just a brief encounter, but it made my whole day, and of course, my kid loved the sliders.

    Went to order the Mozzarella Sticks Meal that's been recently popular, but unfortunately it was…read morehighly disappointing. Extremely salty to the point I couldn't finish one! I discarded the rest ate the bread and side to balance out my tastebuds. The food I would say one out of 10 stars. But I gave a two because of the extremely kind and patient employee at the counter. She was an all star but very under staffed at the counter. She was doing what she could, but literally 7-10 ppl at counter waiting at a time isn't a good look. Customers were a lil rude being demanding. I will update and revisit my review, since I'll give credit to the Dave's feedback management. I was left so unsatisfied I submitted my feedback and answered with credit for an opportunity to try again. So I appreciate that. Although I'm hesitant, and I have to be honest, that meal was not good, one of the worst meals I've had in recent memory due taste ... I will give them another shot however. I appreciate caring for the customer and shout out to the employee working 4/18/26 evening (Sry didn't catch name) . Update soon upon a revisit.
