the show was amazing, David and Alex our servers were legends went above and beyond for us. love this place

So...a few things. 1. Don't like a cover, idk if that's standard brunch practice, but we are going there to pay and tip more than usual for drinks and food. The waiter was so nice. Friendly and attentive energy. He also explained how vendors were not being cooperative this week. 2. The food...well I describe it in the pics. Was very okay. Drinks were good, don't get the espresso martini (also pictured) looked like milk. Friends salad didn't have dressing on it. And it was pricey too. Lots of menu items were also unavailable such as coffee and tea (even tho online advertises a full working coffee bar. It's LITERALLY BRUNCH. 3. The actual performance. Ughh I'm so sad it wasn't that good. Very bland, just walking around and lip syncing. Like literally anyone can lipsing. I wanted a PERFORMANCE. Especially for how much we were spending to just be there. Hamburger Mary's was supposed to be the place for drag brunch, but it did not serve. CHOPPED. read more

Food is ok, fries are delicious but you're mainly here for the queens and to get your drink on ! Service could be better, but Mary's always had the reputation of slow service, but the servers were always nice. Ambiance is a roomy, but it could use a facelift. I recommend if you're looking for an inclusive environment and unforgettable entertainment ! read more

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 ;-) read more

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. read more

Hands down such a great time!!! The security was nice. The staff were great. The performances were LIT!!! seat set up was cool. I don't think there are many places inside here where you cannot get a good view. These gals really do make them dollllllaaars holla!!! Drinks were delicious. I will say the cute boot dranks don't hold much but they are too cute not to have one. We didn't try the food. Pizza was ordered but I didn't try it. I should have. Dj music at the end was good. Not sure why everyone leaves. Looks like it could be a grand ol' time. Pricing to get in was reasonable. We brought our dollaaaaq billsssss!!! Getting in was quick. Thankfully the show started a bit after 8pm. Therefore we were not late. Next time we will grab a bite to eat here read more

* Who: friends x2, partner, & I * What: brunch * When: Sunday around 2pm * Why: friend's belated birthday celebration * Space/Decor: pretty big on the inside, with a patio out front. Colors & decor align with queer style/flair haha. Check-in counter is right at the front, followed by the bar on the right, with stage to the left surrounded by tables on varying heights levels. Bathrooms are located by the bar & pretty easy to navigate around, especially during performances. * Service: was as good as it could be given the busy-ness. Like staff was friendly & helpful, it just took a while at times to get drinks refilled but again it was a packed house. There's a staff available to break bills into smaller denominations. As expected, the queens were the stars of the night. They were funny, fierce, & gorgeous. They make sure to walk around & interact, so make sure you TIP! * Food: was average. Nothing to rave about, decent selection at least & nothing was bad lol. It for sure did its job in soaking up some of the drinks haha. * Final Thoughts: an iconic & staple restaurant/venue in LB, known for entertaining drag performances & fun/positive energy. Whether you're celebrating something or just looking for a gay old time , it's definitely a place worth checking out. Would recommend & would return (again)! * Final Grade: A or 9.5/10 read more

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 read more

Made it to the 8pm show. Arrived at 7pm. Ordered drinks. Frozen strawberry daiquiri was not good. Just crushed ice. No flavor. Service was extremely slow. Waitress took 1.5 hours to come back and take food order. Burger was mid. Bun not hot or toasted. Wings were not coasted in hot wing sauce so felt like I was eating fried chicken. Floors were filthy. Looked like they had not swept in days. Show was the only good part really, and my company. read more

It pains me to knock down a long-standing LGBT establishment, but if it's blatantly ripping off the very LGBT community it claims to serve, then that criticism is well deserved. Well all paid for VIP seating for the Drag brunch in advance. Once we arrived, we did have to wait in line, but luckily it went by pretty quick. We got seated in an upper floor... Huh? This certainly didn't feel like VIP seating. After talking to the staff, they acknowledged we were seated incorrectly and moved us to the VIP table. That's ok, everyone can make mistakes right? Well the alleged "VIP table" had an equally subpar view, several rows of separation from the stage. What is the point of "VIP? Cash grab? **STRIKE 1**. Then we looked through the menus. $25 for burgers - that's steep, but nothing mindboggling. Alright on to the cocktails...where are the prices? They have these decorative shoe glasses for drinks, but those were $36. Surely, there are alternatives, right? WRONG. You don't have to get the damn shoe, but the mixed drink will still cost you $36. And the size is comparable to a $15-something drink at Cheesecake Factory. Insane. **STRIKE 2** The waiter took our initial water order as we ruminated over the ghastly prices. We eventually settled on something but the waiter was nowhere to be found. Nobody checked on us for 30 minutes... 45 minutes... After nearly an hour, I was done. I wanted to leave. **STRIKE 3** We talked to the staff about our dissatisfaction and asked for a refund. They were actually very gracious about it. JENNIFER, the manager, agreed to the refund and CHRIS took down our info. Lo and behold, it's been 10+ days, and still no refund. **STRIKE 4, and counting** Between the misleading VIP seating, overpriced drinks with undisclosed prices, hour-long service delays, and an unfulfilled refund promise, the experience felt more focused on extracting money than providing good hospitality. There are so many better options for Drag shows/brunches, LGBT venues, etc. Hamburger Mary's needs a complete overhaul. read more

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! read more

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! read more

Yesterday when visiting Long Beach celebrating my bday. I had a great time, the drag show was amazing. What was disappointing was the guy checking ID's and giving wristband. Some of my table was their first time and was asking questions and he was rude. Another guest stopped and questioned him if that was the line to get in for VIp and he stated " if you reserved a table don't worry is not going to grow a leg and walk away". That was unnecessary comment. Another guest questioned, do you need to be 21 to go In, again the worker stated " you just need to be born" he was very rude answering questions. I don't know his name but he was short and bald with mustache. I hope management can do something about this. He needs to know his the front of the line and representing the place and being rude and disrespectful does not make people want to return. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

We decided to return to give Sunday Drag brunch another try. BIG MISTAKE. PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE GOING. The service WILL be terrible. You would think that hosting 3 shows Saturday and Sunday that they would have a grip on how to run it but we were very wrong. We booked the 12:45 Show and were 7 in total with VIP tickets and floor seating, the idea is that you're seated for an hour then the show starts at 2PM and ends at 3PM for the next batch that starts at 3:30. WRONG! We were outside in the sun waiting for almost an hour, we arrived around 12:30PM, to enter the building for the 12:45PM show. Once we were inside around 1:30PM our waitress came to take our order around 1:45PM. We already came in with low expectations so we were ready to place our drink order and food order, however the waitress said she could only take our drink order first. We all ordered bottomless mimosas, 2PM came and guess what, the show started, and we had no drink and no food ordered. Come 2:30PM and the third act already performing, still no drinks and no food ordered. At this point we made the dramatic decision to exit the establishment. The lack of service and lack of attention from management and the servers hurt the business and the performers. We were ready to tip, drink, and have fun. Instead we left angry, disappointed and with over $100 in singles that were given to the waiter and musical performers at The Ordinaire. We will never return to Hamburger Mary's and sad that its the only place offering a drag brunch in Long Beach. read more

I really love this spot! Let's just say though, you don't really come for the food. You come for the entertainment. Food - the burgers were alright and the appetizers aren't really anything to scoff over (and they're all fried). They are helpful when you want something to snack on during a show Service - AMAZING! I really love the people working here. From the servers, the staff, performers, all are really great! Ambiance - A no-nonsense, no-judging space. Good vibes only. I brought my mom in for her first drag show and we did the Mother's Day lunch. The performers were awesome and my mom said she definitely wanted to come back again. Tipping for the performers is cash only, but no fret. If you didn't bring any cash bills, they have staff members with plenty and you can pay them for exchange. Although we did make a reservation, we still waited outside for about 30 min or so to start entering the venue. They were probably still clearing and setting up from the previous show, but all good. It was just really, really hot. read more

show was awesome, food was fine, drinks were great but pricy, about what you'd expect. service was slow but i didn't really have an issue with that they went around and took photos of parties, which was fun, until they came back around selling the photos and showed us they'd run a few photos through an ai filter. for such a progressive space, generative ai usage (especially used on photos of patrons without consent) was upsetting to see. would've loved to come back for another special occasion or two, but that really makes me hesitate read more

Came for an event and a fright broke out in the outside patio. When we all heard about it we went outside and saw two people fighting or attempting to fight. One person was being broke up with and being taken to the other end of the ally. The person broke out and was rushing pushing though everyone trying to get to the other instigator. I and few other people attempted to stop her from rushing though and attacking the other person. That's when some lady who I come to find out was the manger of said "bar" started to choke me out. I let her know that I was trying to stop her from attacking her and getting her hands on the manger lady but she wasn't trying to hear anything. I was trying to stop anything worse from happening and I was treated like I was the aggressive individual (unlike there so called manger) and kicked out of the venue. If you're looking for a welcoming space and venue this is not the place to look for or at. There are many plenty of other bars in the area that deserve you business and patronage. I will be attempting to sue them for the assault that there manager did and all the individuals that were involved in protecting her and her actions. read more

Hamburger Mary's is the best!! The food is yummy but expensive, so be prepared.

Get here. Now. Leave all your troubles behind! This is joyous fun with some absolutely incredible performers! The. Show. Is. Amazing! From waiting in line out front (meeting new people) to being seated and served prior to the show - every step is organized and well executed. Drinks are served quickly - souvenir glasses!! I've been twice now and am booked again for a party of six in June. The shows and several performers were different the 2x I've been so I look forward to the next visit! Both times, everyone in the entire place was smiling, singing, clapping, tipping, singing, eating, smiling and having the best time ever!!

Have been to this location for the very first time, food was OK for the location, drag show was fine for a small town Midwest show, this is Long Beach close to Los Angeles, you can and should do better. service and drinks were horrible, server did not provide drinks for 45 minutes, then we received watered down cocktails and mimosas, what are you guys adding to your drinks? Water? Really? If you can,avoid this location. read more

The service, ambience and the show was very good. The food - we were a group of four, we each chose a different meal and we shared two appetizers. We did not finish any of our meals or the appetizers. This sounds harsh but, I do not believe they have a qualified cook. The food lacked seasoning and hence had "zero" flavor plus the ingredients within seemed of poor quality and made with little care. At one point I questioned if I lost my sense of taste. Everybody agreed that we were all able to still taste and the food was simply "no bueno." The menu looks and reads as though it's going to be extremely delicious and the prices are relatively high for what is listed. With all that said, I highly recommend that people only come for the show and go somewhere else prior to or after the show for an edible meal. read more
