Love this place! May not be the highest quality of eats, but the service is amazing and the food is always hot and fresh. You can't go wrong, no matter what you order.Unfortunately you can't sit inside anymore but they have a counter window you can eat at if you like. The overall ambience is purely street side, but it works. read more

We recently tried this spot, Hungry Horse. I'd say it's a drive-up instead of a drive-in. Hidden on Wardlow St between some dive bars you can find this place that serves a plethora of items to eat. Here's my rating: Ambiance: 2/5... nothing special, literally a hole in the wall to order from. No dine-in. You wait outside for your order, no frills nothing special. Food: 3.75/5.... The teriyaki was flavorful and decent for a take out plate. This was standard. Shrimp fried rice was amazing!!!! Probably what brought this rating higher. They weren't shy on sharing shrimp and the texture of the rice was jasmine. I'd buy again. Price: 3.5/5... Pricing was fair, and on the low end. One thing to remember is that the pricing matches their serving sizes. Make sure you order enough to eat. CASH and ZELLE only. Service: 4/5.... The attendee was helpful and precise with the order. He even opened the boba section to give us our 4 drinks. Not saying the drinks were the best, but thankful for his kindness. For a dive restaurant that serves decent teriyaki, Hamburgers and fries, and fried rice fire.... I'd try this spot for a quick eat. Make sure to bring cash. No receipts given. read more

My favorite local spot for teriyaki. It just hits every time. The portions are great and I swear they're under charging (I'm not complaining though!) the owner is always super chill and nice, can't say much about the ambiance, it's a walk up window. I've also had I think it's called the farm burger? It's huge! read more

Mmm happy a friend told me about this place This is a walk up window About $2/skewer ($1.50 chicken, $2.50 steak) My fav is the fried wontons Yummy egg roll too and I like when I can get just one and don't have to get the $10 order They don't have any new menus so can't post a pic. Would be nice if they updated menu w prices so I can order better / know the prices of the things I'm ordering :) He rung a bell to let me know my food was ready when I was waiting in the parking lot read more

This spot came across my Yelp feed today. I've seen it before and never stopped. Honestly, I was being judgmental of the area. I love a good teriyaki plate, rice and Hawaiian macaroni. I decided to give it a try tonight. Perhaps because of the time i went, parking was not great. I did park in the lot, probably behind the owner's car. There were 3 people ahead of me. I may have waited 10-15 minutes for my order to be ready. I ordered a chicken teriyaki plate. It came with a small lettuce salad lightly drizzled with thousand island dressing or something similar, a few onions and a tomato slice. The teriyaki chicken was placed on a bed of rice and the macaroni salad. All that for $9. They only take cash or Zelle. I told the gentleman taking the order that I remember seeing this place when Payless was directly across the street. He stated he's been there for 40 years. The food was hot, delicious and ridiculously affordable. I will be back for sure!! . read more

So this place is actually dynamite for a true hole in the wall. You order from a hole in the wall and 10-15 mins later you get food from the same hole in the wall. I got the #26 Farm Burger (2 beef patties AND a teriyaki grilled chicken thigh). $5.50 for just burger and $8 for combo (fries and a canned soft drink). Incredible flavor and value. I also got the #7 Grilled Chicken Teriyaki Plate. Great portion. Comes with a lightly mayo based macaroni salad and a small side salad with Russian dressing. Lots of sliced grilled chicken thighs on a big bed of rice with some teriyaki sauce dripping into it. $8.25 I'm excited to return. Only drawback is they only take cash or zelle (to their store phone). But it's been hours and I'm still dreaming of that delicious burger! Oh be forewarned that their physical menus and Yelp menu prices are out of date. Nothing to take a photo of but expect to pay $1.25-$4 more per item than yelp menu says. But it's still a good value. read more

Really great food with great portions. Budget friendly and the staff are friendly. They only take Zelle or cash though. Also it's take out only. No dining in available. Definitely coming back. I will be a long time customer for sure. read more

Hungry Horse Drive-In is the kind of establishment you'd go to for a quick, cheap bite. I ordered the #7 chicken plate. The plate comes with teriyaki chicken, a small green and macaroni salad which runs a little under $8 bucks. The portions were pretty generous. I did find the teriyaki sauce too ginger heavy for my taste. The rice was mushy mcmush, but again, forgivable given the price of the entree. The chicken plate does the trick if you're looking for sustenance on a budget. Because I can never not order a burger, I went ahead and ordered the teri cheeseburger combo meal (fries and soda included). It was a very okay. It's the kind you'd find at a backyard bbq. The patty is slim and it's onion heavy - good, but you can make it yourself. To be honest, Hungry Horse Drive-in is worth checking out if you love a good teriyaki plate. read more

So yummy brings back memories from my teenage years. Refreshing and yummy. It wasn't as I remembered but it was also hot so it could've gotten watered down quickly. They accept Zelle but they don't do dine in. Their food is also yummy but I haven't got it in years as I don't live by anymore. I recommend placing your order before going. They answer the phone quickly usually. read more

This place is awesome. I normally get there chicken plate with a side of fried wontons. Service is fast. But make sure to take cash or pay via Zelle. Other than that I'd say it's a staple in the area read more

Hungry Horse Drive-In is a great cheap-eats spot with good food, quick service, and generous portions. It's a walk-up place where you order by phone or at the window, so it's best for takeout rather than dining in. Parking is available and it's cash only, or Zelle is accepted. If you want an easy, affordable meal and don't mind the no-frills setup, it's definitely worth a stop. read more

The best teriyaki spot in Long Beach. Hidden gem. Been going there since I was young and the food is great!

Good, fresh teriyaki chicken, generous portions, great value. Call ahead and pickup at the window (take-out only). read more

Shrimp fried rice is fire!! Plenty of shrimp and sweet sauce with a little bit of heat on the side.

Friendly staff. Best teriyaki chicken I tasted. Private parking lot. Nice and safe "takeout" only environment.

For When You're So Hungry You Could Eat a Horse Hungry Horse Drive-In has been around for as long as I can remember, but somehow I missed the memo. I was late to the party and didn't know what kind of game Hungry Horse was bringing. That changed last year. My eyes were opened, and I've been a changed man ever since. **The Food:** I've tried both the Chicken Teriyaki and Beef Teriyaki bowls, and while I lean toward the chicken, both are solid. They're also incredibly affordable -- a filling lunch here costs under \$10, which is nearly impossible to find these days. I haven't branched out to the rest of the menu yet, but I definitely plan to. **The Service:** Service is efficient and no-nonsense. The cashier isn't here to make small talk -- he's here to deliver delicious food at a reasonable price. I respect that. That said, it's clear he cares about his customers. I saw him help someone work through a Zelle payment issue. Which reminds me -- while it's a cash-only spot, they do accept Zelle. A lifesaver if, like most of us, you rarely carry cash. **The Ambiance:** There isn't one -- and that's kind of the charm. It's just a window on the side of a building where you order and pick up your food. No seating, no frills. Your "dining area" is essentially the parking lot. But honestly, with food this good and prices this low, who cares? I'd recommend stopping by the next time you're feeling like a Hungry Horse yourself. read more

Hungry Horse Drive-In - Burgers Near Me - Long Beach, California

I love hungry horse! I've been coming here for years now and it never misses. The chicken plate is my go to but the chicken and beef skewer sticks are also very good and worth the money. I believe they are about $1.25-$2 each which is a deal! The egg rolls are delicious and they are huge!! (In a good way). I've also tried the cheeseburger combo and it's pretty decent. The burger is good and the fries are as well. Nice and crispy. This place is a good bang for your buck as everything is fairly cheap. Customer service is fine and they don't take long to make your food. I'd recommend! read more

Hungry Horse satisfied my craving for cheap teriyaki and cream cheese wontons! The teriyaki chicken is not my favorite, but it got the job done. The chicken was a bit dry, but nothing teriyaki sauce and sriracha can't fix. The cream cheese wontons tasted exactly what you expect, straight cream cheese stuffed in wonton skins LOL It's just a carrier for sweet and sour sauce. The food came out relatively quickly, but you should put in a phone order! Cash only, and minimal seating outside. This is a small shack, not a place you should be expecting amazing, high quality food from. If you set your expectations correctly, you'll feel satisfied! read more

My husband stopped in for the first time in our 6yrs of living in Long Beach. He ordered the chicken/beef plate. It comes with macaroni salad and house green salad. Definitely good portion size at a great price. The meats are finely sliced which was a plus for me. I totally forgot to take a picture but I will when we are there again. To be continued read more

I ordered a few chicken combo plates & fries. The food was delicious. Grilled chicken just how I like it. Unlike many other places it feels like your just chewing on chicken skin. The only regret I have is not knowing of this place sooner! It is a walk-up food stand. No place to sit and eat. They do accept Cash and zelle. read more

Hungry Horse Drive-In is a local establishment that has been around since the 1987. You actually walk up to their drive-in counter to order on the menu. Their menu and price haven't changed much over the years for their patrons and newcomers. Service is fast and friendly... as they take your order through their window. We usually order the chicken plate with mac salad and rice... and it's tasty. They marinate and grill their chicken just right. At times, we order an extra side of mac salad. Also try their ice blended boba drinks... large portion and delicious. If you are in the Wrigley area... drop by and order anything or everything on their menu, you won't be disappointed. Also, always support small and medium businesses for good service and quality of food served. read more

It was dry and neither my son or my husband liked it. Portions were small also. Not good at all. But you try it and decide for yourself

Hungry Horse is absolutely fantastic. I came here after having an appointment in the area. Luckily, I had cash as this is a cash only place. Thats probably why their prices are so great! It has a small parking lot which was full so I just parked on the side street. This is a total hole-in-the-wall place. They have everything from burgers and smoothies to plates and bowls. You can definitely order something on the healthier side here. I opted to try a 2 Combo plate. You get 2 choices of meat over a bed of rice, a side salad, and a macaroni salad. All parts of this meal were deliciousWhat a great value! It only cost like $8.70 or something? The presentation was great, and utensils and hot sauce were included. I'm really impressed by this place. I don't even live around here but I would drive out of my way just to come here. read more

Hungry Horse Drive-In - The Teriyaki chicken plate #LBC - Burgers Near Me - Long Beach, California

I have a rule when I travel the country: Find some little hole-in-the-wall place with a walk-up window and a line of people outside, and eat there. I'm rarely disappointed, and the Hungry Horse Drive-In is a perfect example of this. The food is good and prices even better. I had the Farm Burger and it was simply delicious. I sampled her 3 Stick Special and it was pretty good, too. Do yourself a favor, and look for the Hungry Horse. Even better, when you're in a strange town and come across a little hole-in-the-wall place with a walk-up window and a line of people outside... step up and order a burger. read more
