My boss introduced me to Simply Salad months ago and I order from here at least once a week. I even…read moregot my parents hooked on them. I have nothing but good things to say about this establishment. I love the option of building your own salad, however, I'm a one trick pony and I usually just go for their Signature Salads they have and adjust accordingly to my preferences. I appreciate the fact that they suggest specific dressings for you depending on the salad you get. My absolute favorite salads are the Hipster, the Chinatown, and now as of today- the Thai It Up. I absolutely love the symphony of flavors with their Thai Peanut dressing and their Sweet Sriracha Vinaigrette- currently salivating as I'm writing this. Their salads may be a bit pricey but for the portions they give you and how consistent the quality is, I'd say it's worth the love they put into it. Their salads NEVER miss. Even though there have been rare hiccups like when they accidentally forget an extra dressing or forgetting to include another topping, Manager Simone Agee always makes it right by making sure to include credit for my next order. Their app is fairly easy to use and I love the convenience of being able to order ahead of time for both pickup and delivery. They always keep the inside clean and staff have great customer service and are friendly. They've been able to keep me a loyal, happy customer. And as long as I'm in Long Beach, I'll keep coming back. Thanks Long Beach Simply Salad Team!

I would have given 5 stars, except that the store itself has limited seating and not conducive to…read moredining in if I had wanted to. The tables outside are nice, though. I was offered a little discount for ordering through their app so I took advantage of that. Ordered in the morning for pickup early afternoon. I stuck with the basic build your own salad... you are allowed greens mix, choice of only 5 veggie ingredients for the base price, a dressing. I didn't need to add meat or more veggies as I was taking it home to eat later. Ordering was easy on the app. I arrived about 20 minutes before my scheduled pickup time, but the staff at pickup was very nice and let me know it would be up quickly. Store was fairly empty at that time. Restroom was available with code. They asked if I needed a bag for the salad bowl but I had brought my own. Utensils and salt/pepper were available to take. I liked the variety of chips and bottled drinks they offered but did not get any extras this visit. Salad was a good sized bowl. It included a little slice of pita bread that was tasty. There were lots of the sliced black olives and edamame. I understand having everything chopped bite sized, great of you are on the go, but my lettuce and other items were diced so finely... I could barely find the cucumber, the pickled onions were still pretty bitter tho tiny, and having grape tomatoes sliced up made them lose their flavor and texture. Mixed together, though, with some of the creamy Mediterranean dressing I chose, it was delicious and filling.

The fries were good too. Maybe I'll give it another go, next time. Parking is a little tough, sometimes, but Cute spot though! Gotta try it at least once, guys!

Loaded with cheese and full of flavor, it definitely hit the spot.

The location itself is pretty small, but it seems like a solid spot for a quick and easy pickup.

Overall, it was solid--sauce had good flavor, cheese was decent, and the dough was nice. Nothing mind-blowing, but definitely a respectable slice. My only issue was the balance--there was a bit too much cheese for the crust, so even folding it New York-style, it didn't hold up well and kind of fell apart. A little more crisp on the bottom would've made a big difference. I also tried their Sicilian grandma-style focaccia pizza, and honestly, that was a huge letdown. It had this dusty, raw flour taste right away, was dry and spongy, and way overpowered with Parmesan. It just didn't come together at all--pretty disappointing, especially for the price. I've had frozen pizza that tasted better. Ended up just picking at the cheese to salvage something. On the plus side, the service was friendly and the space itself is chill--nice casual vibe with a few tables inside and outside to hang out. All in all, the regular slice was decent, but the focaccia pizza really missed the mark for me. Probably not a spot I'd go back to.

They also have a small outdoor patio that's perfect for pets and sun soaking. I ordered their energy juice (bananas, dates, and Yerba mate) as well as the chilaquiles plate with red sauce.

It paired perfectly with each other because each dish can get overwhelming after a few bites. Our son of course shared our meals but also had a side of delicious crispy fries! We ended the night with a chocolate and hazelnut gelato. Both were rich in flavors! Our wonderful server also brought out two deep friend bread filled with Nutella and that took me into a ratatouille moment! Definitely can't eat more than one if you're watching your intake.

The filet mignon kebobs are usually my favorite item on the menu; however, since my husband ordered them, I decided to try the sea bass so we could share. Everything was so fresh and amazing! The kebobs were cooked perfectly and they were so tender! The sea bass was also fresh and prepared nicely; however, it was not a thick white sea bass filet like I was expecting. It was half of a small sea bass grilled with tail and skin in tact without the head. Very fresh, flaky and tasty, but different. The salad and hummus were amazing as well and we ordered a side of garlic sauce. We also ordered two beers, two mixed drinks and dessert. The dessert was absolutely delicious! What made the occasion even more special was our Server, Jetmira! The Manager said she's been employed there for over 20 years. I can understand why. She was wonderful (outstanding service, warm and pleasant personality and knowledgeable about the items on the menu)!
