The Asian lady that usually takes the order is wonderful. The older Latino gentleman is also great. Today, I ate here and there seems to be a new guy. Bigger, taller guy, with long hair that was in a tiny bun, and has a goatee. He wasn't the best. He took my order without taking any notes. Initially, I was kind of impressed as he just confidently nodded as I took my order. My main plate came, but the other things that I ordered didn't. I waited sound 5 mins to see if the kitchen was just backed up. So I asked him again, he said ok. I waited again and it still didn't come. He seemed to have been distracted with other tables and talking to everyone . So, I ended up asking the older Latino guy for it and the rest of my orders came out quickly. Then came to paying the bill and asking for a box and a bag. The exact same thing! I asked him a second time for the box and a bag. It never came. At one point, he even sat down on a seat with a person that seemed to be a buddy of his. All this while I was patiently waiting for the things I need so I can get back to work. That was a little frustrating. So, again, I reserved to asking the Latino older man, and he gave it to me right away. Give the older man a raise and a promotion. I hope the Asian lady didn't stop working here. She was great. Can't say the same thing about this new guy that I've never seen before.

I called down to Billiards & Barstools to see if they replaced cue tips, and sure enough they do. I spoke with Bob who said he could do it the same day. I took the journey down to South Bay, and within 15 minutes (probably less!) I had a cue with a brand new tip. Not only did he replace the tip, but filled in and sanded some cracks in the ferrule. It's the kind of good ole fashioned service you used to get in my dad's time, and that you rarely find today. Thanks again, Bob!

Bar tables are very nice, newer, and felt is clean. Regular tables are a little older and a little dirty but they absolutely do the trick. They have a good variety of beer and seltzers. Food is okay! I love this place, I've been coming for years. I even recently threw my best friend a surprise birthday party here. I called ahead of time, I was told I couldn't reserve tables over the weekend but if I came in early they could try to accommodate us as it was a party of about 12 people. Shout out to Jo! She was awesome and actually was able to place us at two tables next to each other and in a nice corner so we could decorate even on a busy Saturday night. I wish they'd limit how many songs people can queue because over the weekend it can be 20-40 songs on TouchTunes and makes it hard for anyone else to get in. This place is the heart of Long Beach/Lakewood, what a gem!

I had business in the same shopping center and decided to drop in for lunch…read more Torrance Tavern is restaurant bar located in a shopping center. Needless to say, there is plenty of parking. The interior is neat and clean. There are various types of seating (bar; table; booth; high-tops; communal), and plenty of screens to watch sports. On this occasion, I ordered the Tavern Fish & Chips ($22). It is described as "Alaskan cod coated in a tempura beer batter and served with French fries, tartar sauce and yuzu herb coleslaw". The positives of this dish are that it was prepared well. Both the fish and chips tasted good. The presentation was also nice; which leads to the coleslaw: The coleslaw tasted good, too; but I was surprised the serving was so spare. It's almost as if it was served just to optically balance the presentation in the basket. (See photo shared,) And while the price was not unreasonable, feel it's creeping towards expensive (relative to serving size). I'll attribute this to rising input costs. Staffing might be an issue during the lunchtime service. Service was okay, but they seemed to be understaffed. It's possible that most of their business is done after 5pm.
