    Chardonnay and Hurricane
    Yolanda S.

    The seafood boil was flavorful and the jambalaya hit all the right notes. Ordering is done at the counter before you're seated, and the waterfront patio remains the best seat in the house. The only drawbacks: service can be difficult to access once you're seated, the Hurricane cocktail seems significantly smaller than it used to be, and the garlic bread that once came with the seafood boil is gone. Great food and views, but a few of the little touches have faded.

    I went to Louisiana Charlie's for lunch with my best friend and her girlfriend, and overall, it was a really tasty experience. I was a little skeptical at first, but I'm glad we decided to give it a try. The ordering process was simple. You place your order and pay at the front counter, find a seat, and they bring your food to you using a number system to locate your table. I ordered the catfish and asked for it extra crispy. It was delicious! The outside had a great crunch, soft inside. I got mac and cheese and greens. The mac and cheese was cool. It wasn't the kind that tastes like somebody's grandma made it, but it was definitely better than what you get at most restaurants. The greens had a slight vinegar taste but they paired well with the rest of the food. One of my friends ordered the jumbo fried shrimp and really enjoyed them. She also got a Dirty Kool-Aid, she said that it wasn't very strong. Her girlfriend enjoyed her meal as well. What stood out to me was that I finished everything on my plate. I usually have leftovers whenever I go out to eat, but not this time. Small portion size, but it was satisfying. Overall, would definitely come back.

    Exceptional flavors and impeccable presentation. A dining experience worth coming back for. Everything was thoughtfully prepared and absolutely delicious. From the first bite to the last, everything was superb. One of the memorable dining experiences I've had in a long time. If you're in shoreline village in Long Beach check em out!

    Fried catfish w/cajun fries

    I heard about this place on youtube and since i had a taste for some fish, i decided to stop and order from louisiana charlies and was met with a very nice restaurant employee 'sasha", sasha was very nice and professional, not to mention very helpful. Sasha made my 1st time customer experience a very pleasant one. I ordered take out, the catfish in which they give an option, either fried or blackened and i chose fried. You get 2 sides of your choice and i chose the cajun fries and fish are 2 big pieces, i could hardly finish the 1st piece lol, but i certainly will return because the fish and cajun fries are happenin! I highly recommend louisiana charlie's!! Mark. 1st time and satisfied customer!

    Really wanted to go to Parker's Lighthouse on this day but was caught in the hour when they are preparing for dinner service, so we were told to wait for an hour. Given that, we took the time to walk the pier and look at other options. Louisiana Charlie's had a live reggae singer out on the patio. The catchy vibes drew me to the door. I've passed by the restaurant many times before but never actually eaten here. The lines outside are always long, and looking back, now I understand. The restaurant lets diners in groups. You're handed a menu and by the time you are let in through the ropes, you should already know what you want. The hostess rings you up for your meal before you are seated. Because there are outside patio seating and seating on the back end of the restaurant, I can understand why. It may be easy for diners and dashers to wine and dine and dash, which is a practical business tactic to require diners to pay beforehand. We ordered a plate of snow crab boil and added jumbo shrimp. I've had a lot of shrimp boils and this just hit the mark on flavor. The Cajun seasoning was not overly salty and was perfectly balanced. The sauce clung well to the seafood and you taste flavor in every bite. This plate was huge a couple of people to share and we had plenty of leftovers. The delicious garlic bread served on the side was meant to slop up that delicious sauce. I appreciated that the sausages were sliced thinly. Corn was soaked in flavor and red potatoes were perfectly al dente. My daughter had the Grilled sandwich. She's not much of a slaw girl but she finished the entire meal. The seasoned fries also begged to be dipped into the Cajun sauce from the boil. The servers were attentive. The afternoon was a great way to end the day. The cool vibes and the sound of chill, live music really added to this positive experience.

    Went to Long Beach Shoreline Village Saturday 03.14.2026 for dinner 4pmsh. Found this place in the village. We wanted to try out some soul food. Checked in to the front. Come to find out that this establishment does not have Service Waiters. You must order up front, get a number, and find a seat. Ordered a cocktail, Link Sandwich, Shrimp and Crab Jambalaya Soup. Received our number and sat all the way to the back. Found a nice place overseeing the ocean with a back set of City Building and a light house. Within 15 minutes we received our food and drinks. No complaints on the food. All was delicious. The presentation was good. The Collard Greens was fresh as well as all the entrees we received. All was Yummy. The service we received was from a bus boy. I forgot his name, he was tall and Hispanic. This guy did a very good job. He was nice and courteous. Always checking up on patrons as well as saying by to all the patrons that were leaving. Great personality. Overall, I would come back for some soul food. This is one of a few places you can eat soul food in the city of Long Beach with a nice view. If you like soul food and you don't mind ordering your food first, this is the place for you! The only thing I noticed was the tables were sticky and grimy. They could use some work. Parking is very tough to find. You can be frustrated pending on day and hour you come to shoreline. They validate parking which is a good thing.

    This was my first time dining at Louisiana Charlie's and I was really hoping it would be a good experience. Placed my name on the wait list for our party of seven I was told 15-20min. Well that turned out to be a 1hr. wait. After 30min I asked the hostess how much longer would it be, I was told that they didn't have a time limit on tables so people who had eaten, paid their bill, still remained seated and talking. We were seated at 4 pushed together tables off the kitchen. Our food came quickly, but several times we had to flag down staff for napkins and other needs because our original waiter was no where to be seen. The prices were reasonable and the food and drinks were good. Louisiana Charlie's only accepts credit and debit cards. No cash! One of the 2 restrooms was out of order so there was a wait to use the facilities. Would I return again? Probably not. There are way too many other eateries at Shoreline Village to dine at.

    This was a great find, walking along the pier we're happy we stopped for lunch. Great food selection, prices and views. Sitting along the water enjoying a nice meal was a great experience. We will be back to try other items, we enjoyed their Catfish plates with Mac and cheese, greens and Yams. Everything was delicious.

    The Yard House is my usual go-to whenever I come through the shoreline, but after a couple of runs, I decided to try other eateries here. This place was first in line. It was a last minute decision to come through, but I was a cool and gloomy day - perfect for a bit of stroll post lunch. Dragged my Mom with me. We know how busy this entire area gets so we came through early enough to be the 1st customers in line. Mom went for the chicken wing dinner with cornbread and coleslaw. I went for the 1lb crawfish and asked if they can serve it mild spice (or light Cajun, as they described it.) We also put in an order of fried oysters with collared greens to start. Being first customers, we got first choice with seating. We told them we'd be outdoors overlooking the marina. They gave us a number and off we went. But first: bloody Mary's! Ohhh. They were delish. We were off to a good start. Wasn't long before the fried oysters came through. Made to order hot with a side of collared greens. These were amazing, too. Batter had a nice blend of seasonings and crisp and oyster had good flavor. Collared greens were great palate cleansers. Next were our mains. I haven't had crawfish for a minute, so I was a bit excited. Sadly, I couldn't get past more than 3 pieces and 2 slices of sausage: it was incredibly spicy! So it made me question - if this is light Cajun, I can only imagine what regular seasoning is. Or! Did they not lighten the dish at all? Mom suggested to take it home: Hubbers loves spicy stuff. Needless to say, I was still hungry, so I went back to the counter and ordered a catfish po'boy. (Needed a guaranteed non-spicy thing on their menu. Also forgot to take a picture, that's how hungry I was!) It didn't take long for that to get to the table either. Even more sad, the whole thing was bland! I can taste the freshness of the veggies and the fish, but it just really lacked seasoning. I ate half - seasoned each bite with table salt - just because I was hungry. (Took the other half home and had it for lunch the next day - seasoned it with what I had at home to make it better.) I got to taste a few bites off Mom's plate and she picked a winner, I'll say that. FOOD: 2. At least on my end. SERVICE: 4. Staff were friendly, for sure. VALUE: 2. Food I got was not worth what I paid for. PARKING: Private lot for a fee. They validate here. OVERALL: 2.75. So, to say I'm disappointed is an understatement. There are other places to there first before considering a comeback... ... if at all.

    Brisket beef
    Kelly T.

    Food: Food was definitely not what I expected. I expected a lot from this place and I honestly should have lowered my expectations. There was a special of the day which was "Catfish & 5 jumbo shrimps. & 2 sides." For $32, so I'm thinking oh it's gna be a bang for your buck! BOY WAS I WRONG. It was ONE cat fish fillet & 5 medium sized shrimps.. For the sides we got Cajun fries (which was soggy and not crispy at all) & corn bread (that looked half eaten & tasted like the smell of like a lemon cleaning supply scent). We also got the beef rib brisket sandwich. Which was a 2/5... The beef rib brisket itself was okay, I've had better. The brioche buns were ehhh. It looked like a sloppy Joe.. but beef brisket. There was no effort in plating the food or anything. Mac n cheese was probably the only good thing I had there... Service: Service is great tho! Staff is very friendly and nice. I wish their food was up to par with the service. Ambiance : you have to pay for parking. Lots of seating inside and out.

    $ 23.20 (Food: red beans and rice. Drink: water) Louisiana Charlie's monologue: I do believe that having this restaurant on the shoreline is a great option. It's not your typical beach area type cuisine. So it definitely stands out and creates a unique experience. Also, I can admit that I did visit this restaurant a few years back and wasn't impressed. But, I decided to give it another chance. You know the saying "time changes everything"... Time was on both of our sides. The red beans and rice dish was wowwwww. A bit spicy for me, but the flavor was there. And that cornbread, sheesh. I should have asked for some bread to take home. Delicious! Needless to say, I'll make another visit and likely get the same dish. I will sit on the back patio again; inside dining didn't appear to be very attractive. Oh, you must know that you'll place your food order as soon as you walk to the front door. After you pay, you'll go find a seat. When you're in the mood for some Lousiana cuisine and you're in Long Beach, head on over to this establishment. I think you'll enjoy it. P.s. - There is no table service, well not at the table I was sitting at. Take a look at my pics. You'll see what I'm talking about. So lower your expectations to the idea of customer service. You've been warned!

    Catfish Dinner

    Service was slow and the food was whatever. We got seated right away but it took a minute to get some service and when we did, there wasn't much check in on our table. Our food came and one of our sides was missing so we had to wait for that and the yams are definitely canned. mac n cheese was ok. and the catfish was seasoned a little too much - there was an overwhelming flavor of pepper. Cool vibe though, if you just wanna enjoy a nice day out sit in the back patio.

    Ask the Community - Louisiana Charlie's Long Beach Shoreline Village

    If I get there Sunday at 12 PM, what will the wait time be like?

    Are they open today on Labor Day?

    Yes. It says they're open until 7pm, but I would suggest to call just to confirm. You're welcome!

    Are reservations required or can we make reservations?

    Just do a walk in. They do not accept reservations.

    Are they open on Superbowl Sunday 2023?

    Do you have heat lamps?

    Do they take reservations?

    Yes but everyone in your party has to be present or they won't seat you. So if you say you have 10 people and only 9 are there, they make you wait. If you have 1 extra, they'll put you back on the waiting list for a table (even if one is available).

    Wondering if they are open today It would be nice if they would update their website to indicate their holiday hours or at least have someone to answer the phone?

    Your best bet is to order through Uber eats or something. They have worst customer service. They never recovered after Covid with their environment. They don't have everything on the menu, they don't answer the phone and food quality is not good.

    Do the collard greens have pork?

    I'm unsure I've never had them

    Do the alligator legs here taste good?

    Yes. Tastes like chicken! :p Lol. Yes they do. IMO, all the food I've tried here has been very good!

    Parking lot; valet?

    I didn't encounter a valet on a Saturday night, but you do have to pay to park.

The sauce in the bag felt a bit... watered down like it went for a swim before meeting the seafood. For a party of four, we ordered: SHRIMP LOVER COMBO, LOBSTER ROLL, SIDE OF RICE, BASKET OF SEASONED FRIES, AND MAD DOG XXX SAUCE on the side. Portion-wise, we left comfortably full and only slightly questioning our life choices. The Shrimp Lover Combo can't be modified. We chose Stinkin' Special and Spicy, which came with a plastic glove so you can dig in like a civilized gremlin. The Stinkin' Special was a generous blasts of Old Bay and enough garlic to ward off vampires. The Mad Dog sauce wasn't shock-your-soul spicy, but it definitely lingered. I was still feeling its friendly burn hours later and well into the evening. The LOBSTER ROLLL was tasty but fleeting. It's one of those dishes that makes you realize the meal is almost over right when you're hitting peak satisfaction. A little emotional damage there. We wrapped it all up with deep-fried Oreos and ice cream, which was an instant win. Sweet, cooling relief after all that heat.
