    One of the highlights of our beach days is picking up food from Hangout Restaurant. It's become a tradition for us! The location couldn't be better, it's conveniently right across from the beach, making it the perfect place to grab takeout and enjoy a meal with an ocean view. My go-to order is always the chicken pesto pasta. It's creamy, flavorful, and honestly one of the main reasons I keep coming back. I haven't found another place near me that makes a pesto pasta quite like theirs, so I always make sure to order it whenever we're here. Their burger and tacos are equally delicious, too! This location is almost always busy, which says a lot, but the service has consistently been friendly and efficient. Even with the crowd, the staff does a great job keeping things moving. Great food, great service, and an unbeatable location. Looking forward to many more visits.

    I have been meaning to write Hangout a review for some time. We just went again and this time I reviewed in the same week I was there. Hangout is just great. We have been there for breakfast, lunch and dinner. You can eat in or outside. They have a full bar and sometimes it gets a tad loud on weekend nights, but it is fine. We just eat inside. The place is clean, comfortable and super cute. It is right in Seal Beach and be patient trying to find parking. The service is great with the sole exception of the hostess. She is fine, but she needs to pay a little more attention. The rest of the staff is the best. They know their large menu and all the drinks they have. You will love them. The food is outstanding. We love their breakfast items. They have a pancake that my grandson loves that is chocolate and not thanks for me, but he thinks it is great. Their eggs, hash browns, waffles and plain pancakes are perfect. For lunch they have some of the best sliders with great buns and wonderful French fries. They also have ribs and all sorts of seafood. We love their fish and chips and they are often a special. The fried shrimp is great with super dipping sauces. Their sea food pots (the BOUNTY OF THE SEA POT)is my favorite) is so good and you can get it as a starter or for your main. We also love all their shrimp dishes. There is something for everyone. We love it.

    Breakfast!

    Once upon a time, this Faerie Queen met her dear friend here for breakfast. A lovely spot to see the ocean. The breakfast options are great! The French toast options- mmmm! The staff are super friendly. Perfect breakfast! The end.

    Seafood pot!
    Mathew P.

    If you come here and enjoy seafood, GET THE LOUISIANA SEAFOOD POT! It was the best seafood pot I've ever had! I got the spicy tomato it was filled with flavor! It has a mild spice to it but the tomato seasoning blended well with the shellfish. After I finished one, we ordered another one. Sue was our server and she was very friendly, and gave excellent service! The place is very cozy. Family friendly restaurant. Owner, if you read this, bring back the lobster bisque! A couple of the locals were asking for it, but it was my first time here, and I would love to try it. Definitely will be coming back to try other things on the menu. Thanks sue!

    Buffalo Wings  Happy Hour $9.95
    Maribel T.

    The vibe here is def local! We slide into the happy hour menu while in the area! 3pm-6pm The wings were so crispy and yummy!!! The Thai chili were my fav! I found them a tad bit crispier than the buffalo?! The je split burger was a smart move bc we both wanted a little bit of wings and a juicy burger!! Craving satisfied! The margaritas were spot on! The neon juice in them was fresh! I hate it when margaritas taste like OLD lemons! Not the case here! The bartender attends us with great service and didn't leave us hanging for one moment! Would come again! It's right across the beach!! And the prices were great!!

    The Hangout is a small chain in the area and we dined at the location across the street from Seal Beach. I ordered the fish and chips. Hearty portion but tasteless. I tried dousing the fish with malt vinegar to help, but sadly it didn't do the trick. My friend shared her Fuji apple salad with the table, which was delicious.

    Chicken and waffle
    Frank P.

    Its been a long time since I was here last.. I was given a window like my last time. I ordered the chicken and waffle. Everything was very good . They don't skimp on the chicken portion. I liked the gravy on side. The food portions that other tables got was huge. They really give you your money's worth. The service was also very good.

    A beachfront birthday win! We popped in here for a quick birthday lunch and were honestly blown away. It's a small, authentic beachfront spot that manages to keep a mellow, chill vibe despite being right by the water. * The Food: The portions are generous and the prices are actually reasonable for the area. Whatever you do, you GOTTA try the deviled eggs. They were the highlight of the meal! * The Service: Our waiter was a total vibe super high energy, very attentive, and gave us some "chef's kiss" recommendations. * The Wait: Even for a prime location, we only waited about 15 minutes to be seated. Verdict: If you're looking for amazing food without the chaotic beach crowds, this is your spot. 10/10 would celebrate here

    We did the smash burger lunch special and it was a really good deal! The burgers were a good size and very tasty! I liked the house sauce on it and I'm a big fan of their ranch. Their fries are like thick In-N-Out fries with light salt and very good ! The service was fast! And the inside was clean! We will be back again

    You guys are seriously the best. Not only did you make it right by reaching out promptly but my niece who attends Long Beach picked up her gift card last night and said it was phenomenal. Said food was amazing and service was outstanding and you guys also gave breadsticks free of charge. Exceptional. Thank you again!

    Salmon omelet and huevos rancheros
    Audrey E.

    Kicked off the new year by riding our ebikes down to Seal Beach on Friday to grab a bite to eat since there was break from all the SoCal rain. There was no wait to get seated so that was nice. I opted to order the salmon omelet and my bf ordered huevos rancheros. The food was good, came out freshly made. My omelet had a decent amount of salmon in it not overly loaded with cream cheese so that was good. Good flavors, it came with some hash browns and toast of your choice. Service was awesome, our server Graham was amazing. Super friendly, tentative. He had a very positive attitude! Come check out the Hangout if you are ever in Seal Beach. They have a nice happy hour menu and a daily special menu.

    Salmon Sliders
    Nailah C.

    Stumbled upon this spot after a business meeting and was pleasantly surprised! We were seated immediately with no wait, which was a great start. Our server Cassidy let us know about their half-off appetizers and bottles of wine special, making the experience even better. We ordered the deviled eggs and salmon sliders, and both came out fresh, hot, and full of flavor. The food was well-prepared, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was attentive. Overall, it was a satisfying dining experience, and I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Huntington Beach.

    Hi, You guys have reservations?

    No reservations, but a great location to hangout while you may have to wait.

    It would just be a party of 10, hopefully around 12 we would be able to push a few tables together. That's an option if it's not super busy?

    I don’t know when you want to come. -0 can be difficult and we are often busy. We always try to help make it work tho

    So I would be able to have a party of 11? But Might just have to wait a lil for a table, Correct?

    We don't really have a table for 11 available, It would depend on what time how long the wait would be. Weekend brunch might be tough. If you get there early could prob do a couple tables near each other.

    Would I be able to make a reservation for Saturday March 5 at 1?

    Sorry we do not take reservations.

    Would I be able to have a party of 10 or 11?

    It depends upon when

    Yes we have many options from salads to vegan tacos and a black bean and pepper burger patty, we also have a vegan pasta dish

    What is the parking like at the Seal Beach Hangout?

    There is limited street parking because restaurants are taking up spots and their lot has tables. However the public lot is right by it on the ocean.

    Does this have outdoor seating and beach views?

    Yes and no! There is indoor seating with a window view of the beach and also new "patio" dining on the beach side of the restaurant. The seating outdoors on the beach side is tables for two. There is also outdoor dining on the opposite side without… 

    Will you open sooner than 7am to show World Cup matches (like 6am)?

    I called and they said no. Eater LA has posted about options to watch matches: https://la.eater.com/maps/world-cup-viewing-sports-bars-restaurants-los-angeles-2018

    If two kids go under the age if 18 is that okay or do they need an adult?

    You should be good, it's a sit down restaurant/ bar.

They are very good and the apple slaw is refreshing For our mains, my wife had the lobster burrito. Good size, good price, great taste. She took half home I had the lobster omelette. I subbed out the potato (medical reasons limit carbs) for a side salad (2 dollar up charge). Omelette is full of lobster and very filling.

Scrambled eggs, bacon, and a little sauce all wrapped up into one delicious, messy bite. It was definitely messy, but totally worth it! Since it was just me, I grabbed a seat at the bar, and the service was awesome. Friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Such a great way to spend a Sunday morning.

I arrived at my usual time about 15 minutes before brunch is scheduled and advertised to end. The bartender, who is not my usual server, informed me that I could not order brunch. When I politely inquired as to why, since the time had not expired for brunch, she condescendingly told me that since I don't work at a restaurant, I wouldn't know that the kitchen shuts down before the actual time. I noticed that the owner didn't happen to be there that Sunday as he usually is. We left.

For $50 for a couple, you get your choice of appetizer, two entrees, and gelato for dessert. For appetizer, there were two choices: mixed salad or fried zucchini and mozzarella with spicy tomato sauce. We chose the mixed salad, and it was perfectly dressed and very good.
