Mom and i had the salad with ours and they both got the clam chowder. I will say that the guys loved their fish and chips and chowder. The shrimp on the salad was nice but its just shrimp on top of lettuce. It's nothing special. The combo platter was not great. I didnt enjoy it and wouldnt order again. The seafood didnt seem cooked all that great. It was disappointing. The fries and garlic texas toast were great though. One thing of note that was great is that they brought the salad and platter out split for us which was really nice. Most places wont do that for you, so i extra appreciated it. Our waitress was amazing. As always the restaurant was clean and beachy.

The host told us the wait would be 20-30 mins, so we put our names in and kept walking, exploring the street until it was time to return. They're pretty quick bussing tables to turn over guests in order to seat new ones. The waitress took our order fairly quickly and we sat back, listen to the live musician and waited for the food. The price was higher than we'd like, but honestly it was about the same as every other restaurant in the town. The food came in a timely manner and was good. Restrooms were also clean and tended too, even with this large of a crowd. This is going to be one of the local restaurants we want to return to in the future. I kind of understand why they're so busy now!

We ordered drinks (coke and beer) and after 15-20 minutes we had no one come to our table. Never got our drinks or the chance to order food. The guy who walked in behind us had his drink, appetizer and main course served to him. We had to call the waiter to us and ask him what is going on. He said he got the entire restaurant dumped on him even though there were multiple waiters running around. We personally saw him at the fountain machine and he did not bother to bring us a coke.

My husband is a clam chowder fanatic and extra points if he gets it in a bread bowl ( loves his carbs). We had read reviews they had outdoor tables here and the reviews were good so we landed here. The nice lady inside took our order... at first I was not getting anything as I am not a fan of clams BUT she indicated she did have the crab roll which I jumped on. I got the sense she makes all of the food herself? Anyway she brought our food out which we inhaled. The crab roll was EXCELLENT, not sure why I was surprised... the hubs loved his chowder bread bowls well. It's a little hole in the wall sort of place next to a big souvenir store so easily missed.

We own a house in Long Beach, and during the time we lived there full-time, this was our go-to spot for anniversaries and my husband's birthdays. It exudes that cozy, historic Seaview charm that invites you to relax and linger...warm, intimate, and full of character without being over the top. A true small-town and now not so hidden gem. My husband is a fan of their Old Fashioneds, particularly those with a smoked maple twist, and he often gravitates back to the slow-braised pork. Their current Southern Comfort Pork dish is just his style: slow-braised pork shoulder served over brown sugar yam mash with jalapeño creamed corn, green onion, and maple-bacon salsa. That's comfort food crafted with real culinary skill. As someone who follows a plant-based diet, I truly appreciate how The Depot makes an effort to accommodate vegetarian and vegan diners in a way that feels genuine rather than forced. Last winter, I was thrilled to discover the ginger-coconut soba noodles, they were flavorful, satisfying, and perfectly balanced. Their current mika soba noodles with garlic-ginger coconut cream, vegetables, toasted cashews, and cilantro are exactly the kind of dish I'm thankful to find on a Peninsula menu. I also have fond memories of Burger Wednesdays from our time on the Peninsula. It's incredible how satisfying a customized portobello burger can be when a kitchen understands texture and seasoning especially in a place where plant-based options can still be scarce. The food is fantastic, but the service deserves a special mention. While Peninsula restaurants are known for their good service, The Depot's service is exceptional: polished, friendly, warm, and just the right amount of attentive. Although we now reside in California, we plan to make another reservation when we return to the Long Beach Peninsula in July. I'm already looking forward to their summer menu. Note: I've forgotten to take photos so the ones on this review are from the restaurants social media - definitely a reflection of our last meal at The Depot without the drinks.

They were the greatest, along with the little serving of chips & salsa, even the water was crystal clear with no chlorine taste. Only one waitress plus a guy helping with everything, ran the whole floor and was very responsive to everyone, even checked on me for more water. The ambience was nothing exciting, but everything including restroom were clean, would have been a 3 to 4 star except the shrimp tacos blew it out of the water, will definitely be back again...

Had to wait to be seated and then told to pick a table. We prefer a slice of lemon in our water and had to remind the server. We ordered both a 1-piece and a 2-piece halibut and chips with a cup of chowder. The fish & chips came out quickly. Nice and hot. The slaw is more like a carrot and cabbage salad with a slight Mexican flavor accent. I believe portions are out of balance as there was way more slaw than fish on both platters. The chowder was thick and creamy and clam forward in flavor. A good mix of celery potato and clam. If there had not been oyster crackers I would say it needed more veg & clams to give texture to the chowder base. The fish was battered and came out hot and crispy. The portions were disappointingly small with a big price. The tarter was very chunky so not great for dipping. Overall, it was good food but I don't think I would go back.
