My favorite restaurant literally ever. I love everything on the menu. My favorite is the spanakopita.

George's is our go-to whenever we are in the area, and it never disappointments. From the delicious food to the warm and helpful service, a visit to George's is like a culinary hug (though you're just as likely to get an actual hug from the wonderful team)! The avgolemeno soup is a fave on chillier days, and my boys always love the lamb. read more

Such great food! Been coming to George's on 2nd Street for about 20 years. Never disappoints, just really really good Greek food. We had the lamb chops yummy, spanakopita appetizer, so delicious and a gyros sandwich. We ended up taking half of it home and I can't wait to eat the leftovers. Dory was our waitress and she was very helpful and friendly. We parked on a side street just right off 2nd. Very easy. I definitely recommend George's Greek on 2nd Street. read more

Georges Greek On Second - The entrance and outdoor seating. - Greek Near Me - Long Beach, California

George's is one of our fave restaurants on Belmont Shore. The food, ambience and service has never disappointed us. We have ordered the calamari, chicken spinachi, stuffed grilled salmon, the steak entree, gyro plate, baklava and another dessert, galaktoboureko. All are delicious! There are other things on the menu we look forward to trying on our next visit. On Mondays, they have half off wine bottles which is a great deal. We have tried a Greek red wine which was nice. Last night, I tried the Apla rose Greek wine which was recommended to us by one of our servers and I loved it. Will definitely order it again on our next visit. Their Greek beer, Hillas, is also a nice light beer that compliments a lot of their dishes. If you haven't checked this place out, drop by! Kick off your work week on their half off wine bottle Mondays or check out their happy hour specials. Highly recommend! read more

My buddy and I did a SUP session around Naples and we decided to go to one of his fav restaurants for dinner. Considering it was a Friday night, the wait at George's was not too bad, less than 15 minutes. We got a wonderful table outside. He got his favorite stuffed steak and I tried the kale salad. Great meal especially after our adventure. Casual. We parked in the lot behind the restaurant. Great service. Please come and create your own experience. read more

Had lunch here in the middle of the week and it was a wonderful experience. The food was delicious and well prepared. I had the pastitso with a side salad and side of avgolemeno soup. I'm a fan of avgolemeno soup and this was really good because it was very lemony. My buddy had the kale salad and she said it was delicious. I didn't try it, but it looked delicious. I had a nice Greek coffee. I took a piece of baklava home. It wasn't that good The service was stellar. Our server, Dori, is the daughter of the owner. A bright and beautiful young lady. They were both a delight and very attentive. We spoke about Greece and Cyprus. The restaurant is very cutely decorated with a cool map of Greece back by the bathrooms. read more

Georges Greek On Second - Greek Near Me - Long Beach, California

There aren't enough stars for this review so I'm stuck with 5. This Greek restaurant is simply the best, best, best! It is consistently great and never disappoints. So many of their dishes are delicious but their lamb chops are of course a MUST and our favorite. I always order them well done (please don't hate me for it) and they are always absolutely perfect. They also know how to prepare Saganaki (Flaming Cheese OPA!) which you can never just assume a greek restaurant knows how to prepare. Trust me, they don't but George's does! Their fresh Greek salad and dressing is another favorite! And last but not least, order a bottle of their Greek wine which is also not available in many Greek restaurants (totally astonishing to me but true!) Another rare thing nowadays is finding an owner who is a grateful and appreciative to see you! Nicky is a delight with a fantastic personality! You can tell how well she treats her staff who is also very friendly and attentive, especially our favorite server Sara! So what are you waiting for? Don't waste another minute - get your butt in the car and enjoy a great dinner. You can thank me later! p.s. I am SHOCKED by the bad review from Nadir Virani! He must have either been having a bad day or he's blind because the portions of food are plenty. He accused the prices of being high? He must not frequent restaurants often because all prices are high and you don't always receive great food for the high prices. George's prices are very fair and reasonable for the great quality you receive. read more

Dined in on 01/31/25 - First time here. Have you ever dined somewhere and everything was just perfect? The food, the service, the ambiance. No? Well look no further because this is the place to be! We walked in and were greeted and seated like any other place. THEN... the experience began. You are greeted by your server and on this night, we had Simon. Such a great person! So welcoming and charismatic! He gave us the information on their Friday special, which was Kleftiko: a traditional Greek dish of slow-roasted lamb with potatoes and vegetables. Slow-roasted for six hours. I thought my friend and I agreed to share it and get another dish as well but she wanted her own. Lol so here is what we ordered: Kelftiko - 2 orders lol - The meat was soooo tender! Same with the potatoes which had a nice texture and seasoning to it. The side salad was sooo fresh! Dolmathes: Grape Leaves Stuffed with Ground Beef, Rice, Tomato, Spices, Tzatziki *Vegetarian upon Request - This was surprisingly amazing! Such a simple dish but absolutely delicious. We enjoyed our meal with a bottle of Chianti wine. Both dishes were amazing. Their food is fresh and all made in-house. Because of this, their food gives off a home-cooked feeling and personal touch. The manager came over and said hello. After a short chat, he offered us a complimentary baklava: a rich and flaky layered pastry dessert made with thin phyllo dough, chopped nuts, and a sweet syrup or honey. My friend and I are coming here at least once a month from now on. When you get amazing food and meet amazing people, how can you not?! 10/10 absolutely will be back! read more

Prices are high as it is but reducing portions is a sad thing . Ordered 1.Lamb Sovlaki $28 had maybe 2 to3 oz of lamb (chewy).Could hardly see it on the plate with the salad and vegetable coverring the plate . 2.Chicken Sovlaki $22 had again maybe 2 to3 oz of chicken overcooked with salad and rice covering the plate . The only plus was that the service was good . read more

The best food and excellent service. Owner Mikki is the best. We love her as her crew does. The very best. read more

This place is always great and the food has never disappointed. Simon is always a delight, we love when he's our waiter.

Let me begin by stating that the service was absolutely fantastic! I wish I had these servers everywhere I went to eat. However, I have never paid so much money for dinner entrees that were such tiny protein portions. I didn't realize that in California we were currently living on restricted food rations. Let me tell you the experience... My wife's chicken kabob came to our table first. I was talking to another person in our group. When I looked at her plate a couple minutes after it arrived, I literally said to her, "Who did you give your other kabob too?" The response was "I didn't. That's all they gave me". I ordered the salmon, and when it arrived with a side of a Greek salad and a sliced cucumber, someone on the other side of me asked "What salad did you get?" My reply was, "I didn't order a salad I ordered the salmon entree." The response was "really, that's considered the entree?" Then I had to find the (maybe up 3oz) salmon buried under the "side salad" on my plate. This happened all around the table as people were getting their food. We were all kind of in disbelief of what they were serving for diner. At $34+ for "entrees" which consist of a of low cost salad or low cost rice with 3 ounces of protein, I really don't think anyone in our group will ever come back. Not impressed by the food whatsoever. read more

We got take out tonight, two large Greek salads, and an appetizer with two dips. Shrimp were very small, not what they have served in the past, and my husband compared them to rubber balls. We won't e ordering that again. Lamb chops were good, but also smaller. Dips were both good, hummus and olive tapenade. With that said two salads and dips, we're over $100. I get that everything is more expensive. I wouldn't have said a thing, but why not keep the same size shrimp and chops? Will try again, maybe dine in for the atmosphere and the wonderful wait staff we have meant in the past. read more

This spot never miss a beat, I had to stop by for appetizer combo and visit with Nicky. Always feels like home, when walking in many great memories. Service is always great and upgrades are perfect. read more

Maybe we ordered the wrong dishes but this was the worst Greek food we've had to date. We had the falafel wrap with Greek salad and the gyros wrap with Greek salad. We were served the soggiest salads ever but we were so starved that we ate them. The falafel was mush and my husband said the gyro was just okay. This was our first time here and the last I'm sure. 2 stars for nice staff, clean space, clean restroom. read more

This is not Greek good. It's is teh worst version possible of what you can claim a Greek food. tzatziki is -6 Falafel ( not well cocked ) Humus lol Bread not cocked enough Only the bear was good. Please stay away from it. I have tried original Greek food in so many countries and in Greece also this is not even a food. Service is good though No es griego e no será. La comida es un asco . read more

I wrote a review two months ago thinking I wrote it for this location, but accidentally wrote on the DTLB George's Greek Yelp page. Smh lol my bad! I didn't even know until a fellow Yelp elite messaged me! Thank you for that. Anywho, let me paste my review here! Note: my family and I visited this location two months ago. We usually don't venture out to 2nd Street, Belmont Shore to often because there's just isn't any where to park. But today, we were craving Greek food and what better place to have Greek food was none other than George's Greek Cafe. My family and I decided last minute to go to George's Greek for dinner. I was worried that we're not going to find parking and then we would have to wait for our table because our son is in the spectrum. Sometimes waiting is not ideal. Well we got lucky with parking and when we checked in with the host, she was so nice and brought us in to our table right away. Our server was great! She checked in on us every now and then to make sure we were doing good. I always order the chicken spinachi and it was delicious as I remember it being. My favorite thing about this dish is the spinach and feta baked together and then topped on a chicken. Just the combination it's so good! I will continue ordering this dish for as long as we go there. My husband enjoyed his salad and my son enjoyed his chicken fingers. They both enjoyed their meal ;) We're for sure going to return! read more

Delicious gyros and falafel gyro. Nice greek salad with meat. Good service. Clean bathrooms. A bit pricey.

Great food small cute. Came here for dinner. It was delicious. Every nice crew. Will be back.

Get the lamb chops! You won't regret it. In all honesty, everything was delicious. Very casual ambiance, two floors and patio. Our server was so sweet, she brought us wine samples when we asked for recommendations and she suggested all the best dinner options. I wish we lived closer, we would be here often! read more

Love their food and also their wonderful staff & customer service! One of my Long Beach favorites for sure!!!

OPAAA! Food here was fantastic! The Lamb chops were super juicy and had a good amount of meat. My salmon had this yummy seasoning, with creamy feta and spinach on it that gave it some extra flavor! I loved the appetizer combo because of all the variety, you really get a little taste of everything which is perfect if you're indecisive like me haha. Top Tier service. Our waiter was polite and helpful. He went over the whole menu because this was our first time! Our glasses were never empty, everyone was very accommodating. And we got a free Baklava as new customers, so nice! The inside was very nice. They have a full bar, downstairs and upstairs seating. The space isn't huge but still felt open. It is street parking. It's surrounded by tons of other shops and restaurants. The decorations were pretty and gave that Long Beach Vibe. I am very happy with my experience here! read more

Awesome place on second street. Decent prices and great staff. I have been here multiple times and always choose to sit outside in their patio. The food is good and especially ordering their saganaki is an experience. We normally don't go here for dinner but just order something to share and have a glass of wine or two. They have other locations as well but this one is my favorite. I definitely recommend to try this place out and have a great evening with food and wine. read more

Always delicious high quality food from here even for takeout! Love that consistency. The only thing that's weird is that you can find several different menus for their restaurant and it was confusing as to the best way to order. I hope that fix that because they have great food. I highly recommend the lamb chops. read more

Good food. Great service comfortable environment. Highly recommend appetizers plate, tasty variety.

I ordered from Uber eats and the food came in a plastic grocery bag that looked like it had been opened. It didn't look like any other thing I have ordered from Uber eats that usually has the security sticker on it. I called them to see if this is how they send it off and they said yes They should really consider the safety of their clients. read more

Georges Greek On Second - George's Greek restaurant on second St. - Greek Near Me - Long Beach, California

6 tiny shrimp on the Shrimp Kabab and those were overcooked and leathery. Provided very little Pita to accompany their $25 combo appetizer. Asked for extra Pita, didn't find out until the bill they charged $4.00 each for 2 pieces of Pita bread sliced into 8 triangles. You would think it would be difficult for one waiter to provide adequate service to the entire restaurant, and you would be right. read more

Best Greek food! Whenever I get a hankering for Mediterranean this is the first place that comes to mind. The service is always very attentive and food always comes out hot. Personally I like the sound of a busy restaurant, people talking, forks and glasses clinking. It really brings back good memories of family. The feeling of this place is very friendly and great ambiance for families. I still remember my celebrations from childhood there. I've been meaning to give this place a review but last time I was there, ending the meal with a hot coffee and baklava really kept this place on my mind. Hoping the restaurant does well, a place I'd like to see here for a while. read more

They never miss! The gyro-falafel wrap is packed full of flavor, the garlic fries are a must. Even the salad is good. Service is some of the friendliest you can find in Long Beach. I even overheard some staff talking about how they've been here over 20 years. George's is the go-to for Greek in Long Beach. This location is great and very chill on weeknights. read more
