    56. Continental Omelet
    Lindsay G.

    Neighborhood Gem Alert Finally tried the diner my boyfriend's family has been raving about and now I totally get the hype! It's a cozy, family-owned spot with that old-school charm that makes you instantly feel welcome. The portions are huge and super affordable. I ordered a veggie omelette (added cheese and avocado, because... yum), and it was packed with flavor. My partner got the huevos rancheros, and of course I stole a few bites...definitely getting that next time! My plate also came with a side, so I went for the banana pancakes. I only made it through half because I was so full, but they were so good. Overall, this place has great energy, hearty food, and prices that make it easy to become a regular. Bonus: it's walking distance from home.

    Old school mugs for coffee and the metal creamer carafe that I remember as a kid.

    The food comes out super fast. A true short order cook experience. I am talking about 3-5 min tops. FAST! I got the 54 Kaiser omelette with hash browns and a pancake instead of toast. Prices were extremely reasonable. My hash browns could have been slightly crispier and my pancake could have been slightly fluffier, but all in all great diner food. Whatever was lacking in taste and texture was made up for with charm, ambience, and fast/friendly service. The AC was kicking and felt really good on such a hot day. There are these cool 2-top tables right next to floor-to-ceiling windows with views of Atlantic. There is a long counter and then another area off to the side with booths for larger parties. Awesome natural light for your selfies and foodie pics. A great 50's Diner!

    We've lived in Long Beach for a few years now and are always excited when we learn about another historical spot! George's 50's Diner was the star location in the Hilary Duff film A Cinderella Story, so we had to come check out the hype! We were immediately seated on a Tuesday morning into a snug booth by a very welcoming host, and our waitress was just as kind and hospitable. I opted for their steak and eggs platter which was incredibly flavorful and the perfect size for me! My friend got an egg platter with their home fries, we added extra onions on top which was definitely the move! The ambiance is definitely different than the film, having experienced a fire a few years back, but the history remains. Definitely a must do for the food and the memories! Thank you for the hospitable service!

    A great little retro diner down in Long Beach. I am working through a list of all diners in LA County and next up on my list was George's. It's a classic Los Angeles throwback diner, which I personally love. They don't have outside seating, but they have plenty of tables inside as well as counter seating. Our server was also extremely polite and everything that we ordered came out as requested and quickly. They have a large parking lot attached with plenty of free spaces so parking will never be an issue. For my first visit I chose the Hamburger Steak & Eggs and really enjoyed all of it. The eggs were cooked exactly as I requested, and the steak was done perfectly. It had a lot of flavor and the portion size was very generous. The coffee was strong and the price was fair so I would definitely recommend to any diner fan or to anyone searching for a great casual spot for breakfast or lunch.

    It had been too long since I had been back to George's. I found it better than ever! The place was pretty packed, the food was great, service was wonderful, reasonable prices.

    I came here because A Cinderella story. I love that they have their own parking lot which is hard to find in Long Beach. It definitely give 50 vibes. I do wish they had a gift shop section or a movie wall. The owners were super nice and friendly. They were really open to recommendations. I wish they had vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options. My friend wasn't able to eat any food. I got the 2 pancake platter. It was simple. The pancake needs to be more fluffy. It's like pancakes you can make at home.

    Inside very cute and clean

    Have pass by for many years and always have been wanting to try. Well today we finally did. It was ok in my opinion. Whenever in the area we might stop by again. My only negative was that they don't have real butter. So maybe o won't be back lol.

We came all the way from Santa Clarita and we're not disappointed. Past all the namebrand places by the aquarium and came here and we're not disappointed. I had the work burger, which has fried portobello mushrooms. Others in our group had grilled cheese and poutine burger, and Italian burger and the hotdog and the breakfast burritos. No one was disappointed actually, we were surprisingly pleased with our selections. Sleeper items are the fried cheese curds by themselves. Make sure you get these. Also the onion rings are batter dipped. And beyond delicious! Only bummer is the drinks are cans, so if you need more than one drink, be prepared to pay for each can. The food was super delicious!!

I'm not sure if it's always that lively on Friday nights, but it was the weekend of Warped Tour, so there was a lot of music and energy. If you're looking for a quieter meal, this may not be the best night to visit. The food itself was good, but the wait was much longer than expected. We waited almost 40 minutes for our order. Unfortunately, my burger was also made incorrectly. I ordered the Bacon Bleu Burger but was served a different burger instead. Not quite sure what it was, but it had mushrooms and American cheese. Since we had already waited so long, I decided to just eat it rather than send it back. The burgers were flavorful, but they were smaller than I expected for the price, and they don't come with fries. To round out my meal, I ordered the poutine fries. They were decent. The fries were nice and crispy, which I appreciated. My husband ordered the Burger Don Chendo, and that ended up being the standout of the night. I usually don't like spicy food, but this burger had just the right amount of heat without being overwhelming. Overall, the food was enjoyable, but between the long wait, the incorrect order, and the portion size for the price, the experience was a bit hit-or-miss. I'd be willing to give them another try, especially for the Don Chendo burger, but I'm hoping for a smoother experience next time.

The food was so bad that we barely ate any of it. When we brought this to the manager's attention, instead of addressing the poor quality of the food, she immediately told us we still had to pay for it. At first, she only offered 10% off and a slice of birthday cake, which was honestly insulting considering we couldn't even eat the meal. What made the experience even worse was that she tried to justify the poor quality by saying we came in late and that the food isn't the same at that time. That's simply not an acceptable excuse. If a restaurant is open and serving customers, the quality of the food should be consistent no matter what time you walk in. After going back and forth, she eventually increased the discount to 50%, but still refused to remove the meal from the bill, even though we barely touched it because it was inedible. We weren't looking for a free meal--we just expected food that matched the quality a restaurant should serve and customer service that takes legitimate concerns seriously. Unfortunately, this experience fell far below those expectations, and I won't be returning.
