Celebration lineup
Sally T.

First time visiting Hamburger Mary's this past weekend because we made a private table reservation for a gf's bachelorette! We had so much fun celebrating her, and I honestly wish we stayed for dancing afterwards because gay bars are the best bars. She got so much interaction from the performers (probably the most compared to others, lol), and I really appreciated it. The staff were really friendly and the queens were on their A-game. The only areas for improvement were probably turning down the AC a bit because we were freezing, but maybe I'll just layer up next time because there's no doubt in my mind that the performers are sweating and need the AC more than I do. This is your public notice to pack a jacket if you're coming for an evening drag show!!!! Parking was super impacted due to Apocalypse (EDM festival) happening next door at the Queen Mary, but that's out of the venue's control and we were one of the lucky ones to secure parking in the structure earlier in the evening. The food quality also left a lot to be desired, so I would probably eat ahead of the showtime in the future. Something I really appreciated was that they offered to make change and provide cash-back for folks that didn't get a chance to grab cash ahead of time. There is a service fee if you use card to get bills, but it's lower than what you'd pay at the ATM. I think the fee was $2.00 per cash-back transaction, but the venue can chime in to advise if I've misspoken. Thank you again for making our bride's celebration so special! Happy Pride to all the girls, gays, and theys. Will be back soon ;-)

We came on a Thursday night for a drag show and there was a pretty good crowd. It's an easy location to find in a good area downtown and since it wasn't a weekend, parking was no issue. The show itself was very fun. Bring cash so you can request singles to tip the ladies. Drinks are strong and if you request a "shoe" then you can bring it back to any of their locations and get 50% off drinks your next visit. Not a bad deal. Menu isn't huge, but the food was good. Burgers and fries are hard to mess up.

My friends and I visited Hamburger Mary's to celebrate our 49-year friendship, and unfortunately, the experience didn't match the occasion. For a venue that clearly draws large crowds and sells tickets in advance, we expected a more organized and professional level of service. There were only two bartenders handling a packed bar, making drinks one at a time while also trying to support wait staff. The result was long waits and visible strain on the team. It also seemed like there weren't enough servers or kitchen staff to keep up with the volume. It took quite a while just to have our order taken--and significantly longer for the food to arrive. When it finally did, two of our four meals were incorrect, and one didn't come out until the rest of us were nearly finished eating. While we understand that busy shows can be challenging, advance ticket sales should give management a clear idea of how to properly staff each show. We also felt it was inappropriate for our server to attribute order mistakes to hearing difficulties, especially when it impacted accuracy and the overall experience. We came to celebrate a meaningful milestone together, and it was disappointing that service issues overshadowed what should have been a special brunch. Its a good thing the music was great and the girls were entertaining

If you're looking for a low key, quiet meal... this is not your spot, lol. This was my first time at Hamburger Mary's, I went with friends for the Saturday brunch show. It is so much fun. It feels like a full blown party. Loud, chaotic, and definitely not PG rated. I was super impressed with the performers. I was immediately drawn in and cheering the whole time. The Queens are hilarious and clearly having a blast. They also do a great job of giving every table plenty of attention. I went for the show and wasn't expecting much from the food, and I was totally fine with that. But the burger and fries were actually really good. Also, get the stripper boot cup with the bottomless mimosa. Just commit to the experience. Go for a birthday, a bachelorette, a team outing, a Friday night, or just to celebrate being alive. You won't regret it. I can't wait to go back!

WOOOOOW...This was my very first drag brunch and I am so glad my group and I went with HMLB! In order to get tickets my group and I went online to secure our seat; we got VIP to secure good seating and I am glad we did (loved the Brunchettes)!! The area is such a cute downtown area with lots of surrounding shops that you can walk around and enjoy. Our tickets instructed us to arrive at 12:45pm but we didn't enter the restaurant until 1:10pm since there was only one server (he did amazing). With the experience, the "wait" was forgotten! Once the performance started my jaw was on the floor the entire time. Prepare your cash for the performers if you plan on coming because they go all out to prepare for the show and their appearances. Drinks and food were amazing and the show was a 10/10- I will be coming back for sure!

So much fun! It was one of those nights when neither my husband nor I really wanted to go out, but we already had the reservation and we decided to just do it. I'm so glad we did! The server took our drink order right away since we were the first party to be seated. As the place filled up, we decided to place our food order before our server got too busy. She was extremely friendly, helpful, and efficient, even though she had a large area to serve. The drag show was so much fun! We didn't know that it was a drag competition that night. The energy in the room was electric and the audience was fully engaged. We were just going to leave after we saw a particular act, but then decided to stay until the very end. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 is that the bar doesn't use bottled soda water, and I could taste the water additives, so I switched drinks; otherwise, the food was tasty!

Seems to have dropped off over the years. Don't make a reservation online! You end up paying for tickets on the site and then you'll be charged again at the door. The food is mid especially for how expensive it is. Totally overpriced. Also, they don't have draft beer and the canned beer they do serve is skunked. The place seems to be falling apart too. The tv screen was glitching and the table was rocking so bad the food almost fell off. The show was good though, really talented performers.

Very Delta's 50th Birthday at Hamburger Mary's !
Tamara T.

I've been here twice since my first/last visit and each time it's been great. The staff are all hard working and super nice. We were working the 50th Birthday Party for Delta Work and I saw the staff hustling and cranking out orders to the sold out crowd. Jenny was super nice and answered any questions we had and one of the other servers with the green hair was really helpful and let us know everything on the menu is good but not so much the chicken tenders. We parked at the structure behind the venue and were there from 5 pm until almost 1 am and paid $12 total. The structure only takes card, it does not accept cash, Apple Pay or Google...wallet? Jewels was seriously such a great host and very kind and made us feel like we were family. Hamburger Mary's LB is a vibe. If you're able to catch one of the famous queens or not so famous queens, just do it because it's always a fun time.

Martin Q.

I now have been here for a weekend drag brunch and for one of their Wednesday events (they had Lydia b kollins) Honestly this place is amazing. I have never been so happy to be gay than when I get a chance to come here. Their bottomless mimosas is so worth it and they refill them quick. Their food is a tad bit pricy but honestly it's all worth it. I can't wait to keep coming back here to support our local queens and hamburger Mary's!

My friend and I spontaneously stopped by Hamburger Mary's as we were looking to bar-hop on Pine Ave. Upon arrival there was a cover fee of $20 per person. After showing our ID we entered and made our way to the bar. We ended up ordering a few drinks and the bartender also gave me one on the house. Needless to say, we definitely had a blast that night. We danced the night away with the robot and ended leaving a little before closing. I had a great experience here and would come back for a fun night out.

The whole EXPERIENCE from start to finish. I went to the bank to get my dollar, but they do it for you there too. You can taste the liquor in your drink, no water down stuff.

LB Pride this weekend!!
Samantha C.

My food and drinks were good. Basic and filling. It was a fun busy night. This night was a special performance with $8 cover charge. CASH ONLY! The service was the best it could be for the staff they had on. I enjoy this place often and come back regularly. I have seen many shows in different seating areas. I don't recommend the back wall behind DJ booth. You have an obstructed view sadly. For an older building the bathrooms are good. They have seat covers, thank you. Unisex restrooms also. They have an ATM in case you didn't bring cash. Fun place to meet up with friends or meet new people.

Ask the Community - Hamburger Mary's - Long Beach

Will my entire party have to be present for us to be seated?

No, you can let them know how more people will be coming. You can also reserve a table for the amount people you need.

What's the age limit for shows,?

The age for entry is 18. however, I believe if a minor is accompanied by their parents, they will be allowed in.

Can we bring a birthday cake?

Is the house made vegan patty gluten free?

I've no idea. It's probably best to call directly.

Can I bring my 17yo to Sunday brunch? He has been before but wanted to know if rules have changed due to the unfair madness aimed at the drag community lately😢

I took my 16 year old niece for her birthday. She had a wonderful time. They just "mark" her hand so she won't be served.

How long is the brunch show?

It's not a bar the club two different things

Is your outside patio open now? Trying to eat outside because of covid. Thank you in advance if anyone knows!

I was there yesterday and we were able to have our drinks out on the patio after our show but not sure if there is table service out there.

I am planning my birthday brunch here next month & I want to know if it is kid friendly? My daughter is 14 (teenager) but I just want to know if she would be allowed to watch the drag show?

This is at your discretion as a parent. There is a lot of adult content during performances and adult language in between performances. She would be allowed to join you. Hope this helps.

Do they check bags?

They did not when I went so I'd say your safe😀

How much is it for the bottomless mimosas on Saturdays now 2022? I'm planning to go in October with about 14 people. What's the cover charge price?

Would love to take my two year old to a brunch. Just curious about the age restriction and if there are kid friendly shows .. if so what day is best recommended to go?

They no longer have the buffet so everything is off the menu. We had a small child with us, but she was older than 2. The entertainment is just lip-syncing, but the dress/attire is risqué.

Is there an age requirement for Sunday Brunch?

I went with a group of people and we had a 12 year old and a 16 year old with us, they just draw a X on there hands as to symbolize they can't be served. We had a great time but the content is definitely not appropriate, during my day there they had… 

Are there age restrictions for the drag shows?

18 and up 21 to drink

Is there still drag brunch on Sundays?

Yes sir! You just gotta make reservations ahead of going so you have a spot to sit at.

Is proof of vax still a requirement?

No, proof of vax was not required when I went last month.

Is the cover fee cash only?

Yes, they have an atm on site, and there is a chase nearby.

Are there unlimited mimosas for brunch?

Yes

Do they charge to get in along with the reservation? I was hoping for vip seating as well . I've been trying to call to get more info but the number listed does not answer

The show fee is $5 and VIP is an additional $5.. 562-436-7900

Do you need proof of vaccination and or negative test to enter for the drag show at night ? Also we are going for a friends birthday trying to see if there is VIP section and asking about pricing?

I had to show proof back in January 2022, however it was an event and everyone in line had to do it. YMMV. There's a few areas that are not in the main paths of people with views of the entire place. I've seen it with parties/events in those areas.

I see the weekend brunch is inside and out, with the main stage in, will they come out to perform?

No I didn't see them step out only saw them stay in

First of the night for St Paddy Day. Which started off as just a drink lead to a night of bar…read morehopping. It's been years since I was last here with friends. A small dive bars right on the corner of Broadway and of course Falcon. There used to be an Italian restaurant next door but it's closed now. It's in a residential neighborhood so be courteous when you're outside. We thought it would have been quite busy as it a drinking holiday but when we walked in, there were maybe 8 people or so. The place isn't big. Bar counter on one side and a couple of hi tops table along the other wall. Doubt there's room for dancing when it's packed but I'm sure they'll make it work. The bartender working St Paddy's night was the sweetest. Very friendly which is always a major plus. We sat along the bar which was nice. Who ever was in charge of the music that night was great. A fun selection of upbeat music which the videos were also showing. You don't want to show up somewhere and the music sucks. Overall, it a fun little neighborhood dive bar. It seemed more like it was utilized with regulars as everyone seemed to know each other. I'm sure it picked up later on from when we arrived. But a fun little place for a drink. It's street parking if you're visiting.

If the bar can't hire security guards who can be nice and welcome patrons to the bar, they must not really want my business.

Out of the other two bars that were visited, this place was the busiest. St Paddy's day for a drink…read morethat led to bar hopping along Broadway. Last time we stopped by it was mellow. This visit, it was a little more lively and a mixed crowd. The music sucked whoever was in charge as it kept skipping and changing constantly. Not consistent whatsoever. It could be coming from the jukebox right at the front. People were out for drinks which it was pretty lively. Of course as it's also a dive bar with a pool table, people were having fun. The place was chill as most bar in Long Beach are. Nothing stuck up here with pretentious people. Everyone is here for the same thing, a dive bar and drinks. There was actually more than one bartender this time. Normally it's one who was taking care of everyone. And a mixed crowd, people all having fun. It's bigger than the other one we just came from But did notice some other guest from the previous bar doing the same thing we were, bar hopping. There's a decent amount of seating along the bar counter. Hi top tables along the front and entrance. Some in the back area as well and the main seating area thats along the other wall with a built in seating. Great for people watching and viewing the game of pool that's right in front of you. I think there's two pool tables. It's a simple fun place where you guessed it, all the locals and regulars visit. They do have happy hour which we found out a while back. Same as all the other bars along the area, it's street parking. I don't know if it's a regular thing but out front was a taco stand getting ready for the night. Beer and tacos, match made in heaven.

My female cousin was using one of the gender-neutral restrooms. None of the restroom doors had working locks, so my other cousin and our friend were simply holding the door closed to give her privacy. Instead of handling the situation professionally, Matthew stood outside the door yelling for her to hurry up. He yelled, "I'm gonna kill a bitch if I don't get in the restroom." When my cousin came out, he called her a "stupid bitch," said that "three men could have peed in the amount of time she took," and then said, "I'm gonna leave before I kill someone." When I confronted him about how inappropriate his behavior was, he identified himself as the manager and threatened to kick us out. No customer should ever be treated this way, especially by management. I won't be returning.

Normally on a Wednesday night or a Sunday as it was karaoke. The fun nights were had way back when. It's still the same fun old place but with a little revamp from the early 2000 when it was a frequent place with the college kids for drinks and karaoke. The crowd from the coffee shop down the street would end their nights here with cocktails and singing. A fun neighborhood dive bar. There's still security at the front checking ID's. Seems like regardless whatever your age is, they ask. Inside you have the retro fun vibe. Of course everyone is there for the same reason, a fun night. Bar is right when you walk in. Normally there's two bartenders on the busy nights but often you just see one. Inside has a good amount of seating but outside patio seating seemed to be alway lively. There's loads of seating out there. The fun twinkling lights and nice lush plants gives it a cool tropical feel hidden in Long Beach. I did notice a lot of people bringing food in especially pizza which was from across the street. Didn't know you could Uber Eats things here but clearly you can. Dinks is always good from my experience. Reasonable price which brings the crowd in. The only thing that sucks, the restroom situation. There's two on either side which does get pretty busy with a line as it's one per person and it's alway dirty. Don't know if anyone goes in there to clean during the nightly hours. Overall, the crowd is alway fun and lively. The last two times I've been I did noticed that it's still the college crew crowd as when I used to come in the early 2000. A more younger crowd, somewhat hipsters vibe. Depending on what day you visit, there's some kind of something going in. It's a fun dive bar that's alway fun for drink. Very casual.

Came by on a Thursday night and got seated immediately... and then watched the line form right…read morebehind us. Timing has never been one of my talents, but apparently it was that night. Parking is a bit of a game of chance thanks to the tiny lot, so plan accordingly. Once you're inside though, the restaurant is super clean, modern, and the service is fast and attentive. We started with the papaya salad. It was just okay--I'm still trying to figure out why there was a blanket of romaine lettuce casually lounging on top. I ordered medium spice, which turned out to be "medium if you breathe fire for fun." The papaya was also a little more raw than I personally like. The tom kha soup was decent, but the real MVP was the drunken noodles with beef. Those noodles were absolutely swimming in savory goodness and perfectly soft. I would've happily ordered a second plate and called it "dessert." Overall, I'd definitely come back--mostly because those drunken noodles are already living rent-free in my head.

My family and I were heading to the Aquarium of the Pacific and wanted to find a good dinner spot…read morenearby afterward. I came across this place on TikTok because of their famous Thai tea popsicle, so naturally I had high hopes. First off, we got incredibly lucky with parking. I can definitely see how parking could be a nightmare since the lot is tiny, so consider finding a spot part of the dining experience. When we arrived, the inside was cute and seemed clean. We were seated outside, which also looked nice at first glance, but I noticed quite a few spider webs around the windows. My boyfriend even felt webs brushing against his arm while we were sitting there, which wasn't exactly the extra ambiance we were expecting. We ordered quite a bit: spicy Pad Thai, Bang Bang Shrimp, Pad See Ew, mango sticky rice, and of course the Thai tea with the popsicle. I'll give credit where it's due. The Bang Bang Shrimp was easily the best thing we ordered and was absolutely delicious. The Thai tea popsicle also lived up to the TikTok hype, although the actual Thai tea itself was on the sweeter side. If you love sugar, you'll probably enjoy it. My biggest complaint with the food was the spicy Pad Thai. The flavor was great, but it came with what felt like a whole chicken farm and a cameo appearance from the noodles. I ordered Pad Thai, not chicken with noodle garnish. The Pad See Ew was also noticeably salty. Now you're probably wondering why I'm giving this place a low rating if most of the food was decent. Unfortunately, the service completely overshadowed the meal. When it was time to pay, my aunt was figuring out how much everyone needed to Zelle her since the restaurant only allows a maximum of two cards for split payments. While we were trying to do the math, our waiter stood over us watching the payment screen like he was supervising a final exam. He was clearly waiting to make sure a tip was entered. My aunt politely asked him to give us a minute, and thankfully he walked away. Maybe when you see a family actively calculating a bill, that's your cue to...actually give them a minute. Keep in mind we also tipped 20% despite all this. Throughout the meal, he did stop by our table, but it rarely felt like he was checking in to make sure everything was okay. If anything I felt rushed. He also gave off that "customer service smile" that disappears the moment you stop looking. The cherry on top for me happened as we were leaving. We had been sitting on the outdoor patio talking for a bit after paying, which is pretty normal for my family. Before leaving, I went inside to ask where the restroom was. The guy and girl behind the bar looked at each other, laughed, and then asked if I was a paying customer. Keep in mind, I was literally holding a to-go bag with leftovers from the restaurant. I responded, "Yeah, I just finished eating," while holding up the bag that made it painfully obvious. Only then did they tell me where the restroom was. Nothing says "valued customer" quite like being interrogated about whether you actually ate there while carrying your leftovers. It's unfortunate because the food had some highlights, and the restaurant itself has a cute atmosphere. But the service made it feel like customers are viewed more as transactions than guests. Between hovering over us during payment and questioning whether I even belonged there after spending money, I left feeling more unwelcomed than satisfied. I'll happily support a restaurant that appreciates my business instead of making me feel like I have to prove I earned the right to use the restroom after paying for dinner.
