SteelCraft is always a great place to go. My favorite is the taco place but the pizza is really good as well. Live music on occasion and open mic nights do not disappoint. In these videos you'll see performances of Alone and Santeria. Two great songs! read more

On 05/12/26, I Visited Steel SteelCraft Long Beach which is an outdoor, open-air urban eatery located in the Bixby Knolls neighborhood of Long Beach, California. It's a neat structure entirely built from repurposed shipping containers. It's a cool dining and social place that offers a variety of local food vendors, craft beer, coffee, and desserts. The venue now changes out vendors which will provide more tasting experiences. We dined at "Elio's Wood Fire Pizza". The pizza is delicious . I had Pepperoni, Sausage, Black Olives, Onions & Red Bell Pepper. Yummy! For drinks we tried "Off Duty Beer & Wine". I was not disappointed. We tried the Figueroa Mountain Pale Ale & the Watermelon Aqua Fresca Hard Cider. They were both very good & refreshing. The customer service was good at each vendor we tried. The worker at "Off Duty Beer & Wine" was very informative. I recommend this venue. There is a parking area in the back of the venue and a larger parking lot across the street. This is a great place for a family day or date night. read more

First time here and we celebrated my brothers 16th birthday! They don't take reservations and it's pretty busy so I got there at 5p to grab a table. They let me decorate with a table cloth, air filled balloons and a cake. They don't allow helium balloons. They have 2 tv's and different food vendors. It's like a food market/food court. Hangry Belly (burgers) - they were out of brisket, avocado and turkey patties which is their top sellers. They have chili cheese fries and other loaded fries options too. Tacos and Birria Ramen Huge portions and lots of birria. They don't skimp out here. They give sauces, limes and the sides of rice and beans are huge Pizzeria About $18 - lots of pepperoni it was so good. We got extra for $3. You get a whole pizza of 8 slices so it's worth the price Beer bar Birria Tacos - very good they give you 2 big ones and pack it with meat. The birria ramen is good to but it does need a bit more flavor Hangry belly- the meat is delicious but it's a potato bun so not my fav. I like a softer moist bun. The parking isn't the best. It's a small parking lot or surrounding parking a block a way if you find any. They had a cool live dj but NO ARCADE OR GAMES HERE. That's at the Bellflower location. read more

My go to coffee place whenever I'm in town. There is always parking. The guys here are super chill and personable, and if I need to buy food there are other stalls here for me to do so. I just really love going here and I love taking friends here. It is also one of the places that has ruined me for other coffee. That leopard covered magical machine they got to make my lattes is worked by the magician baristas. I love it. read more

I usually love getting birria tacos from here at La Taqueria Brand. However...The last time I bought some was last week... I was disappointed discovering what I thought was cheese, as I do ask for extra cheese, WAS NOT CHEESE.. The same way chicken has fat before it's cooked, I found something similar in one of my tacos and initially thought it was cheese until I felt the texture.. It was so disgusting that a gag reflex came on and I COULD NOT finish that taco anymore.. Instead of trying to fill the taco with fat as if it is "birria", either toss it out or see if there are customers that are okay with fat in their tacos, or offer a different meat selection... read more

I came here literally just for Elio's wood fire pizza! I usually drive from OC all the way to LA for their food truck. It's always worth the drive but when I found out that they just opened a location in Long Beach, I knew I had to go. It was our first time at steel craft so I wasn't aware that there was going to be more food vendors. I loved how there was a variety of food choices and that there was a small brewery. I was able to grab a beer and have it with my pizza which was great! Now let's get to the pizza. 10/10!!!! ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! If you haven't tried Elio's yet now is the time! We got a margherita pizza with pepperoni and a white pizza with sausage. The dough itself is so light and you can taste the fire from their wood fired oven. Worth the drive! I've gone to so many pizza spots and hands down Elio's is up in my top 5. read more

Such a vibe for sure. Came here with my husband for lunch and the concept of this place is def cool. Lots of containers with different vendors and you can pick and choose what you want to eat and there is something for everybody. They have a brewery onsite and the other vendors sell drinks too. I love the open space, the lights and just ambiance is pretty cool. They even have TV's with sports on so you. An easily catch a game here too. I ordered food from the Mexican vendors and my husband for a Pizza. Both were very delicious. The pizza was great and love that they give it to you in the box already in case you don't finish it you can take it to go. My tacos were delicious, especially my fish taco was the best one for sure. The presentation was great and they even tasted good as well. Their chips were a bit greasy for me but still good, their salsa was fantastic. They had other fun food options as well it's just what you are in the mood for. The spots we grabbed food the service was great, very efficient and hard working. Love the concept of the place and of you are looking to meet up with friends for a quick bite or hang on a Friday night this is the spot for sure. read more

SteelCraft Long Beach - Birria tacos - Food Court Near Me - Long Beach, California

Very chill and relaxing place for a beer or cocktails Also, there are game nights and big screen TV

Great location. It was a little trek from our hotel but definitely worth it. Great food spots, located within the area. It has five different food options, including Mexican, Korean, two American options and a pizza spot. They have beer located at the main Steel Craft trailer. Decent amount of seating but could be slightly cleaner. Service is truly just from window service, from each of the food spots. They had face painting, when we showed up and moved on from that to a DJ. Noise was a normal level, for an open aired location, near a main street in Long Beach, as well as with the music and eating around others. Food was great from the three spots we ate at. Everyone from the three spots were very kind and helpful with menu options. Again, it was a great location, good beers, great food with great company. Pictures went to their respected restaurants I checked in at. read more

Came here with a group of friends to celebrate a birthday. There is a variety of food options to choose from. I got a burger and fries, both of which were pretty good. Some friends got Mexican food and enjoyed it. There's a great variety of beers to choose from as well, all the ones I tried were delicious! I'm a big fan of the outdoor seating for fresh air. Also, a big plus was the clean bathroom! read more

This original location of SteelCraft food court opened in Long Beach in 2017. It has since expanded to nearby Bellflower and Garden Grove. It was my first time here, so my wife explained how things worked. Parking can always be a problem in Long Beach, but it seemed as if it was well thought out...with multiple well marked lots to park for free, and even neighboring businesses allowing their spots to be used after their business hours. It consists of six, soon-to-be 7 food vendors (Asian, Pizza, burgers, beer, Mexican, coffee, and acai) and there is no overlap of cuisines between vendors. Everybody shares communal bench seating tables (though when we came it wasn't too busy so got a table to ourselves). We stopped in for lunch on a Friday, and it's a typical food court set-up, where you choose the vendor and order/pay with them. There is a shared water dispenser, so you can fill up if you have your own water container. Otherwise all other food and beverages are not allowed. There is one set of gender bathrooms for the complex (4-6 stalls in each). We are thinking about suggesting a group gathering of 40 people here, and the management has processes in place to handle such scenarios...so will work with them in the future. If it works out, will definitely come back to update my review. read more

This is a favorite spot! We love coming here for burgers and beers. I was super bummed to see Smog City got replaced by something else, but it will be nice to have more drink options available. I also love that Salud is here now, they have the best juices in long beach! SteelCraft is all outdoor seating with a variety of food and drink options. It's dog and family friendly. I hosted a birthday party here too and it was reasonably affordable to reserve a whole section for around 40 people. It included security which was great for keeping our space reserved for our group. read more

The food all looked delicious but the birria ramen and califries from La Taqueria Brand was the best. Yissel provided quick and helpful service in helping me chose what to purchase. The place was clean and well themed. Definitely would come again and try the rest of their speciality menu read more

If you have a group of people and you're not sure where to eat you should take them here. There's vegan and GF options too. There's truly something for everyone from burgers, tacos, pizzas and bao buns! I got vegan birria tacos and they were stuffed and full of flavor. I've been here twice and the time it was a Saturday there was live music which was really nice. They also have tvs showing sports if you're into that. Definitely coming back in the future! read more

This is a great location for a fun outdoor mini food court with a small selection of fantastic gourmet eateries and drinks. They are all independent vendors serving gourmet food in a fast-food style, so the service is fast, friendly and efficient. Such a fun place to hang out and grab a bite/drink. It's great for both groups and for solo diners. The space is an enclosed breezy outdoor space with nice shade for those really hot days. There's a small adjacent parking lot, street parking, as well as a large annex parking lot across the street. read more

Welcome to SteelCraft - An outdoor food court, food hub, drink hang, social co op space with several great business in the mix. They sometimes provide live entertainment in the central area, not to mention huge flat screens, perfect for catching a trending sporting event, shows and what not. Most of the seating areas are covered, but the entire SteelCraft area is open area and super easy to navigate around. Enjoy fresh Acai Bowls via Koolberry (directly in front when entering from Long Beach Blvd). Have a pick me up with Steelhead Coffee bar/cafe. Cheers with Craft Brew at Smog City Brewing - Bixby Knolls of Long Beach You can order pizza at Angelino's Wood Fire pizza (with aromatic options, including vegan) - though they definitely seem to be the busiest. Nom tacos, chilaquiles, burritos, plates and quesadillas not to mention a variety of so many other dishes (plant-based options y mas) at this slice of Mexican street style eats (one of three locations in SoCal). Eat + sip + chill at Hangry Belly (Burgers place) or feel the love from Waffle Love. Seven amazing vendors, popups and businesses all bringing an amazing experience in this beautiful shared space. There is WiFi, restrooms and it's pet/pup friendly. Seating can fill up during busier social times and hours after the work flow, especially Saturdays from what I've seen and heard. Angelino's was pizza town by 7 PM the other night. Open until 9pm during the week and until 10pm Friday and Saturday. Each vendor has select hours, definitely check their website for specifics - Steelhead Coffee for instance closes by 5 PM daily, but also opens as early as 6 or 7 AM depending on the day. Definitely hope to see more great SteelCraft locations in Los Angeles and Socal... like can you come to the valley tomorrow lol... Would love to have something like this in NoHo and other parts of Southern California. Check out their Garden Grove and/or Belflower spots as well. Parking is super easy and spacious at the SteelCraft of the LBC. Noticed some vendors have rotated out or relocated after a long period of time, so definitely enjoy a little of it all and support this small businesses as well as this amazing women owned and thriving concept that is SteelCraft. read more

SteelCraft Long Beach was a new kind of place for me and I visited it with someone during a sunny afternoon. It is made of shipping containers turned into food stalls which gave it a super creative and modern look. I saw a lot of teenagers there hanging out with friends and trying different foods. The atmosphere was upbeat and urban with string lights upbeatmusic and a mix of families and young people. Teens would love the casual artsy vibe. The service at each food stall was friendly and quick and the staff seemed used to serving younger crowds. The value is great because the meals are affordable with generous portions. The quality of the food and seating areas was impressive and everything felt clean and welldesigned. The selection is amazing with tacos burgers ice cream and more so teens can try something new each time. I highly recommend it to teenagers who want a fun place to eat take pictures and relax. read more

I visited the Long Beach location. It's a small brewery with great selections of food, drinks, dessert and coffee! I came here after walking with the girls on a Sunday and it was easy to find a spot and enjoy your brunch. I wasn't able to bring my dog this time but I saw so many fur kids and real kids with their parents. I can't wait to come back and bring my pup. I believe the food changes every few months. This time around I choose Mexican food. It's called la taqueria. I loved my chilaquiles and my minchi! The beer choice paired with my minchi was better than a typical modelo. My friend order the bierra Ramen. It was good but missing spice. read more

The good: This is a small outdoor food court dining hall that's trendy, modern and hip. I'm a sucker for food halls because you get to try a little bit of everything which makes it great as a gathering spot with various friends with different tastes. It's made of shipping containers and reminds me a lot of Denver's vibe. There are communal tables and some high chair bar seating. Food here includes waffles, pizza, Mexican, and more. It's dog and kid friendly. They're hosting an Oktoberfest next month too. The bad: There isn't enough seating usually. I only saw street and neighborhood parking. The interesting: I initially came twice to this area Yelp events. They host paint and alcohol days too. read more

Visited Steelcraft Long Beach recently on a drizzly Saturday. Picked up lunch at I Love Ur Buns and had their special of the month, which was two Chinese buns filled with smoked brisket by the Cambodian Cowboy! If you've never heard of him, he is making a name for himself as a BBQ pit master. The buns were fresh and pillowy soft filled with the tasty brisket. I ordered the meal which came with a drink and hot, crispy fries. I would go back and try some of the other buns. If buns aren't your thing, there's a taco stand and a soon to be opened pizzeria. A smoothie and protein bowl establishment is also in the complex. They also offer coffee drinks. Outdoor picnic table seating is plentiful. read more

I was excited to come here because there's one in bellflower and we always have a nice time there - not to mention this place had different options. Unfortunately its quite small (but well lit and warm!) and have limited bathrooms. Another reason why i do not absolutely love this place is the LOUD DJ. I get it - its a hip happenin place and im old now. Im not into loud these days. We sat at the farthest area to escape the worst of the noise and it was still too loud. But i know the community likes it! Just not my speed anymore. Their food places are: hangry belly (need to come back and try!!), la taqueria brand (best birria!), waffle love, steelcraft beer, angeleno pizza, and coffee. I definitely wanna come back maybe in the afternoon so my ears arent assaulted hahaha read more

This spot has classic Long Beach vibes to me. It's small, laid-back, full of flavor and very diverse in terms of the patrons and food vendors. But, parking kind of sucks on the weekend. More on that below. The whole space is a cool, industrial-chic restaurant complex. You can easily spot the fire-engine red shipping container and signs from the street. Aside from the collection of vendors listed below, they also keep things fun and cute by having a rotation of DJs on the weekend, lawn games and a big screen TV to watch sports. It's a great option for a chill Sunday brunch when your homies can't get on the same page on what to eat! Parking is not plentiful, but you do have a few options. There is a small lot adjacent to the complex. Immediately across the street is a larger overflow lot, all of which are free. Then there is metered parking nearby. Here are the vendors as of Aug 2022: * STEELHEAD COFFEE - Freshly brewed artisan coffee that's part of the inspiration for this concept. * HANGRY BELLY - Delicious sandwiches and burgers for the unashamed carnivores. I tried their BokBok grilled chicken sandwich, and it was phenomenal. Worth every penny. * LA TAQUERIA BRAND - A Mexican taqueria appt that offers authentic family recipes made with a mix of classic ingredients and trending new favorites. * SMOG CITY BREWING - From Torrance, CA the family-run craft brewery is focused entirely on creating and distributing exceptional beers. * WAFFLE LOVE - Most popularly known from Season 6 of Food Network's Great Food Truck Race, Waffle Love offers a twist on the traditional Belgian liege waffle with a variety of sweet and savory flavors and toppings. * TERRASAGE HOME - A local favorite for plants, pots and gifts. * ANGELENOS' PIZZA - Killer artisan pizzas made using homemade sauces and fresh quality ingredients. KOOLBERRY - Fresh bowls made with ingredients including acai, pitaya, coconut, seasonal fruit, nuts and more. They also serve desserts including "Freak Shakes" and handmade treats. read more

Tucked in between office buildings on Long Beach Blvd. are these containers of yummy restaurants & one beer bar. We tried the pizza & waffles. Pizza made to order. Chewy fire burnt thin crust with fresh ingredients. We try a sweet waffle that was kinda like a waffle Cinnabon. The service was super nice and the waffle made to perfection. Crunchy on the outside and I don't know soft on the inside. Can't wait to come back and try the other restaurants. read more

First time here at this location. It's a bit smaller than the others. But it's good enough for a busy area. Parking is a little tight but u can park in overflow spaces across the street or parking on the street. Came here for the Waffle Love spot. I'm gonna check out the others over time. They had a summer schedule of events posted. Like today was paint and sip. There was a dj spinning really good music of different decades. That's nice to hear.

* please note this is an honest opinion coming from someone with a disability, thus forming my own personal opinion from my experience. * Steelcraft LBC is such a nice little neighborhood hangout with a good variety of food options and ample seating. If your lucky to find parking on property there are a few spaces available but also have a large lot across the way. For an able bodied person I'd say this place was an ideal spot to grab a beer, eat and conversations with friends , however for a disabled person like myself it may fall short for you. Being a person who spends most of her time between a wheelchair and a cane if going short distances it can honestly be a little upsetting when you find places that are ada but not fully wheelchair friendly. Unfortunately due to my specific needs finding a place to sit that's low top to accomodat my wheelchair wasn't an option since the layout uses picnic tables and has narrow spacing. I Unfortunately would not have had space to comfortably sit in my chair and enjoy my food with my partner but luckily I came prepared and switched to my cane since I'd hardly be walking. We did wait about 15mins for a picnic table to open up which wasn't an issue as we were in no rush but the limited seating for us with limited abilities may cause one not to linger. Despite the lack of wheelchair space for dining actually getting around was fairly easy. Steelcraft is very clean, well kept and had a great variety to choose from. This day we tried a little from everywhere and I was pleasantly surprised. Each place had excellent customer service, great tasting food and prepared well. They also had an info board to keep you up to date about fun activities that take place there as well. Tuesdays are trivia nights and live music on the weekend set the tone for an amazing week ahead. Despite my minor inconvenience with my accessibility concerns I would highly recommend to anyone and will definitely be back here as a regular. I visited on a Monday so it wasn't too busy crowd wise, just I did notice it looked like people unwind here and work which could also take up space for a prolonged time. But who wouldn't want this to be their go to spot. The atmosphere is amazing, it's not loud or rowdy and has a little something for everyone. Although my wheelchair didn't workout with the limited space I was still able to enjoy myself. The limited space may also come as an inconvenience to those parents with young ones in strollers as well so please be aware when it comes to finding a space to sit. Overall this is an amazing place that would have 5 stars if ada seating was an added option, but that won't stop me from visiting. read more
