Came to the Attic for a birthday celebration and all I can say is Michelin is well deserved! So we decided to get a little bit of everything to try. The standouts were, the sweet potatoes, cornbread, Caesar salad, steak and frites and the hot Cheeto Mac and cheese!! They have a wonderful drink selection and the service was exceptional!! It's definitely a vibe I will be coming back for Brunch read more

Oh wow oh wow to the butter and biscuits. Really nice chill ambiance. Especially on a beautiful day like today. Great service! Would like to come back and try more dishes. read more

Great experience on a Sunday morning for Easter! Food was fresh and tasted great. Good oat milk latte and while I didn't have any alcoholic beverages, my fam said they were good. Kid friend as well! My 13-month-old had the kid's Belgian waffle and loved it. The atmosphere is relaxing with a nice, open outdoor space. Service was friendly and quick. Definitely recommend and will dine there again. Make a reservation! read more

Started off with them not having our reservation through open table. The host said it was their system not ours. We were seated outdoors right away as there was plenty of seating available last night (Saturday at 8:30pm). Ambiance was gorgeous as they have stringed lighting and mural on wall. Server was great! Food was delicious! We ordered the mac and hot Cheetos, chicken main dish, and grandmas cornbread. All were very good. The main dish was the best. read more

The breakfast was ordered for lunch. Quite possibly the best brunch I have had in my life. The French toast and my husband's Cajun chicken and waffles were scrumptious. The service was good. Very attentive. Friendly. The ambiance was cozy. Felt like we were dining at our family's home. Nice balance between homelike and efficient restaurant. We found this gem during one of weekend drives. If we are in this neighborhood again we will definitely stop by for a meal. Street parking but we found a spot in a private lot in the back. We were not certain if we were supposed to park there though. Didn't see signage. Heated covered front patio dining available. Everyone was seated outdoors on a sunny winter day. So it's comfortable. I should also note the fantastic cocktails. I wouldn't call them elevated mixology but fun tasty creative ingredients read more

Oh my gosh this place is amazing. We enjoyed breakfast so much that we came back for happy hour the next day! Kylie is an incredible server/human and took care of us both times. The patio is so spacious and the vibes are so nice. The food was to die for. Best breakfast sandwich I've ever had!! I will have dreams about the breakfast sandwich (and the Mac and Cheetos lol) for years no joke read more

This a cute, laidback, neighborhood restaurant. It's got the open feel. The staff is pretty welcoming. They do change their menu a few times a day, so options can change. I've been a few times and even during happy hour. I think they have delicious cocktails. Food wise, I like the chicken under a brick, the corn bread and during brunch the breakfast rice in a stone bowl. The food options are interesting and have a southern twist to it. The place is dog friendly and even has a dog menu. It's good for group gatherings, small groups, dates and happy hour. They have a small parking lot in the back, otherwise, it's street or neighborhood parking. read more

The Attic is a popular Southern-inspired restaurant in Long Beach, California. It is a craftsman-style house setting and elevated comfort food of Southern traditions with a twist. They have a full bar, indoor and outdoor seats. And their menu was compendious. Weekends tend to be very, very busy so get acclimated to wait for a table and/or be served. I came to grab brunch and luckily didn't wait to be seated; I sat at the very corner of the bar. I had drip coffee and Chicken 'n waffle. Unfortunately, it was a bit bland despite the syrup poured in. Coffee was fine. Collectively, their food was just ordinary nothing really special; not even an ounce of a Southern flavor. I had better C & W at a non-Southerner breakfast spot in So Cal. On a positive note, their service was moderately slow on weekends. Prices of the food were a bit expensive for an average serving. Staff were competent and nice. Atmosphere was vibrant. Plenty of street parking. Toilet was clean and odorless. Overall, I had a decent meal. And was not utterly blown away with their brunch food. It's the hype that people get so excited about this spot. Sadly, I do not recommend them. read more

What I ordered * Cheetos Mac & Cheese * Bloody Mary * Gumbo * Shakshuka You might expect it to be super heavy and salty, but it's not. It's actually surprisingly well-balanced. The Cheetos mac & cheese was really special -- I'd honestly order it every time I come back. The gumbo was also well-seasoned. I loved the rich, deep flavor. But the shakshuka... I didn't really enjoy it. There was a bit of an earthy aftertaste (hard to describe). Is that normal? Someone educate me haha. Parking isn't the easiest -- street parking can be tricky. But honestly, that's pretty common in Long Beach. If you've never tried Southern American food, I'd definitely recommend checking this place out.

I came here with a friend after an afternoon study session for dinner. The attentive service stood out to us right from the beginning of our meal. Bristy, our server, thoroughly explained the details of certain dishes such as the Mac & Cheetos. She also checked in on our table throughout the meal and came around often to refill our water. As for the food itself, it was very delicious. My favorite dish was the artichokes. They had a somewhat smoky flavor and the outermost leaves were crunchy and a nice contrast to the soft inside of the artichokes. They were also served in a tangy sauce that complimented the vegetable well. My friend's favorite item was the macaroni and cheese. It was chewy and creamy, and the pasta, which Bristy informed us was made in-house, was what my friend thought elevated the dish because it was a nice texture. We additionally ordered the gumbo which was also tasty but not as yummy as the other two dishes that we ordered. It is not a spicy dish if one is concerned about spice level. As for the ambiance of the restaurant, we enjoyed how the atmosphere felt casual and almost like you were sitting in somebody's house (the wallpaper and interior design is pretty) while still maintaining an elegant aesthetic design. If I was in the area, I would return to The Attic for dinner. My friend and I had a very welcoming and positive experience in terms of the service and food respectively at this establishment. read more

It's been awhile since I've been back here! But I'm glad I came back! We were immediately greeted by a server and were seated by the bar outside. Thankfully it was nice outside when we went and it was nice to be outside, it's a cute space. We ordered the OG dish we came for which was the Mac and Cheetos with short ribs. It was really good and even when we got to the bottom it was still piping hot after a while! We also ordered the Steak and Frites and it was good but I wish the steak was a little more rare but it was still good! Can't forget the old fashion, it was good! And that drink was a little strong for me but no complaints! It's good to be back! read more

Probably a much better place for breakfast/brunch. This was our first time and the place felt cozy and cool! Service from the getgo- host to the wait staff - was attentive, friendly and informative. We just missed the brunch menu so we ordered off the happy hour menu. All the food sounded wonderful. We ordered the ribs, chicken sandwich, lobster roll and gumbo and the garlic fries. However, when our chicken sandwich arrived, I thought it was a mistake and someone had mixed up our order with someone's hamburger--- that's how charred it was. We should have sent it back but we were in a rush and thought it was just along the edges, anyway. The lobster roll was pretty good. But could use just a tad more... mayo?butter? Gumbo was great! Great flavoring, great level of spice. Really enjoyed it. The ribs were a happy hour portion and did not come w any starch(which was fine). Upon first bite, it was good- fall off the bone, sauce was a bit on the sweet side but with unique flavoring. However, it was really drenched in sauce, which I typically like but because it was sweet, it became too much by the 3rd/4th bites. I would recommend this with fries or something else to break it up a bit. The place overall was a good experience and the staff make up for the lack of flavor balance in their food. But i probably wouldn't order off their happy hour menu again.. and def not the charred chicken sandwich. We will be sure to arrive early enough for their brunch instead next time. That's probably where their food shines better. read more

The food was amazing. The craftman house and decor was awesome. I loved the Ultimate girl menu, which had exactly what I was planning to order before I arrived. The staff was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. Would definitely eat here again. Quality ingredients used in their food, plus I loved my 10 Olives on my martini. Fun dining experience. There was also a covered outdoor seating area. Small parking lot in back with residential street parking read more

I had dinner with a friend tonight at "The Attic" and I had the best Gumbo which had sausage, chicken, shrimp, gravy and rice! The food tantalized my taste buds. Our server Ilana was very friendly and professional...I wound up joining their rewards program because I know I will be back!! read more

With The Attic, we have trouble deciding if we should go for brunch, happy hour, or dinner. The selections change enough so that there are items we love on each menu. Mac and cheese with hot Cheetos is always a favorite. I've had their lobster roll which is divine. The chicken sandwich is maybe my favorite. The margaritas are so so good. The bartender/server that is there in the afternoon/evening/happy hour time (IDK his name) is a great server. He remembers us and everything he recommends is excellent. Parking is trick, but don't let that stop you. I consider myself very lucky to have a place like The Attic so close to us. read more

(3.5/5) Our server was knowledgeable and very sweet, which made the experience pleasant. We had our dog with us, and the restaurant setup feels almost like being outdoors but with a roof, which is an interesting concept and style. Food-wise, I thought it was decent. I would've loved more of a cheesy pull from the mac and cheese, but overall it was fine. I think I enjoyed the experience and atmosphere more than the food itself. read more

This Michelin Star restaurant is worth a visit! The oysters were FANTASTIC... my favorite dish hands down. In fact, these may have been some of the best oysters I've ever had. The ambiance is very cute and the staff is sooo friendly and sweet. We went when it was raining, so it was pretty quiet, but the environment feels like someone's home. The hot Cheetos Mac is what this place is know for and I was pretty amazed. Such an impactful dish... drinks were phenomenal as well. Please take some time out of your day to visit this establishment. read more

I had The Attic bookmarked on Yelp for a while and finally decided to give it a try. I have been wanting to try avocado toast, and figured this would be a good place for it. When we arrived, my partner and I asked to sit inside, but we were told outdoor seating was the only option. Yet we noticed other guests were seated indoors, which rubbed us the wrong way. It didn't start the experience off on the best note. We ordered the avocado toast, and to be fair, it was really good. I also got the chicken and waffles, which were just okay. My partner ordered a burger and fries and it was okay. He specifically asked for no sauce, but it still came with sauce. He is not one to send food back, so he wiped it off and tried to eat as much as he could that wasn't still saturated with sauce. Service was also just okay. We had to flag someone down to place a drink order and again to ask for the check. Overall, the experience was fine, but nothing really stood out enough to make us want to come back. There are plenty of other spots where we can enjoy a meal indoors and where simple requests like "no sauce" are honored. read more

Food, service and ambience 10/10. I had the Shrimp and Grits, delicious! The grits were creamy, had the biscuits with sorghum sauce tasted like honey - leveled UP! Will absolutely go back. read more

Was in Long Beach for work and stopped by this place. I was seated inside which was fairly empty as most people were seated outdoors or by the bar in the other room. I had a great view of the kitchen and the hostess stand. I ended up ordering a classic burger and the Mac and Cheetos which really stood out on the menu. To my surprise the Mac and Cheetos were great. Very decadent and not appropriate as a side dish for a single person but really delicious and full of whimsy lol. The burger was also pretty solid. Juicy and flavorful but nothing in particular to write home about. One thing that I would write home about is the Bunny in the Bank cocktail. A mezcal drink with carrot syrup? It was something like a deliciously alcoholic pressed juice. Definitely worth trying! End dinner with the beignets for sure too! read more

Used to be better but it's very impersonal nowadays. The poutine was horrible, not like I used to have it, it being my favorite dish at this place. It was soggy and the potatoes were terrible. The meat has a lot of fat, and the quality of eating this dish went down to zero stars. I couldn't believe it. The avocado toast was okay making this review a 2 stars. I won't be back! :( read more

I ordered the St. Louis-cut ribs with black vinegar, Szechuan pepper, cilantro, and overall they were really good. The meat was tender and mostly fell off the bone, and the flavors were bold and well balanced. There were a few bites with that chewy connective tissue around the bone, which slightly took away from the texture for me, but overall the ribs were still very enjoyable. We also ordered the Short Rib Poutine - it wasn't bad, but nothing really stood out to make it memorable. I also tried the biscuits with sorghum. The biscuits themselves were pretty standard, but the butter with that dark, syrupy drizzle on top was a nice touch and added a bit of sweetness. The waiter was excellent as well - very friendly and attentive, which always makes a big difference. One thing I noticed about the space: there's an enclosed patio area with a lot of energy - people chatting, eating, and a lively vibe. We ended up eating inside the house instead, which was nice and cozy, almost like sitting in someone's living room. read more

This location was very good for happy hour. The outdoor seating was nice and had a cover so it was shaded. The food was really good bar style food and for reasonable pricing! The Mac & Cheetos is a show stopper and a must try! My only negative is that I was charged for fries even tho I didn't order them. When we were handed them we assumed it came with the burger we ordered so we ate them, but realized it was a mistake when we noticed the $8 charge! They were rather tasty tho so we didn't bother disputing. Overall i recommend this location! read more

Our second time here and it was quite nice. Pretty busy for Sunday brunch but got seated right away. Hostess checked us in and we got seated right along the front patio. Our waitress, such a sweetheart who took care of us. Didn't remember her name though. Of course the last visit, the Bloody Mary was a big hit so we needed that again. Menu wise, I'm not sure if it changes seasonly. Bloody Mary was great as last. There's a few option on them but we went with the bacon slice. Not only that, it also comes with a few olives all stuffed with different things. Blue cheese, Thai chili peppers, gerkin, and red peppers and of course a celery stick. If you haven't had stuffed olives, you're missing out. And for the price, it's well worth it. Also started off with some of the biscuits. Didn't know that jam was an additional fee. It's served 2 to an order and with butter and honey. It was quite nice with the flakey crust and moist soft inside. Perfect alone as is. Entrees, the gumbo with shrimp and sausage and chicken. That was served with rice. I had it the other time and quite enjoyed it but this time the portion seemed smaller. Still good though. Also went with Not So Nashville sandwich. A fried chicken sandwich with slaw in a chef sauce. That was quite nice and messy. It was good and pretty big and served with fries. This visit was nice. Service was great and everyone was very friendly. Water was constantly refilled without asking. Food didn't take long to come out. Majority of the guest were all seated outside but a few inside. But the Bloody Mary, that's a must. read more

Ambiance: Nice casual brunch spot with family and friends. Dog friendly and wheelchair friendly with accessible ramp entrance on the right side of the staircase. Service: Friendly waiters and pleasant to ask for requests and menu recommendations. Our servers helped resolve one little situation we had with a dish we ordered. They were awesome! Food: Biscuits & Sorghum - The Sorghum butter?! Heavenly! Biscuits were buttery and soft. Wish they gave us one more since we were a party of three. Short St. Louis Cut Ribs - The meat definitely did fall off the bone, but also with sort of dry jerky-like edges (not very fond of). Flavor was rich bbq sauce with a subtle spice notes at the end. Not bad. **order this with a side of salad or the Breakfast Stone plot Bowl and enjoy together. Mac & Hot Cheetos - I was told that this was their infamous dish here so I had to taste it, but it was poorly executed for in terms of texture. The presentation was appetizing, but the pasta itself was super al dente when it should have been softer to chew. The flavor was yummy, but texture was off for us :/ Breakfast Rice in Stone Bowl - Familiar cuisine to my Asian roots with a twist. Southern barbecue version of the Korean Bibimbap. This was hearty and tasty. Probably my favorite dish here! read more

Went for dinner Saturday night. No wait, sat at booths, in covered area that still felt open with no walls/doors blocking view of the patio. Ambiance was nice, a bit like a covered porch with string lights, and bar across from us. Good size crowd. The hostess, server and busser were all very friendly and competent. We especially had a great chat with the busser. He told us all about the history of the restaurant, and pointed out parts of the former house it was built in. Great guy who is very proud to work here. So rare! Now, the FOOD. EXCELLENT! First, the biscuits. YES! The flavor is so good and comforting. The soft butter with honey/molasses adds such decadence it might as well be dessert. I'm usually disappointed with biscuits and don't order them. But I'm so glad I took a chance on these! Flakey/crispy exterior, interior more denser, not flakey. All good. Hubby had the chicken cooked under coals, and man, it was delicious! Half a chicken, full of the coals roasted flavor, on farro grains that seems to be in the same sorrel /lemony sauce my salmon had. With an interesting mix of small greens on top, almost like chimichurri. I saw the steak and the pork cops that get good reviews and they looked good. But if in the mood for chicken, this is a great choice! I had the salmon. It seemed to be poached (my only slight disappointment- I prefer some charring on my fish), was soft and delicately flavored in French white sauce sprinkled with sorrel herb - which has a tangy lemon flavor. It is a perfect traditionally French style salmon. I was slightly disappointed in how little it came with. It literally is just the fish and sauce, and you can have rice on the side. (I didn't) Not a "meal" like the chicken and other dishes I saw that had significant portions of veggies/fruits and or grains. But still, it tasted great and was very filling. We both had fries on the side. And man, 10 stars on the fries!!!! I can't explain what makes a good fry. But it's these. Some crispy, grease cooked in, some not as crispy. Excellent experience. read more

I didn't love the food my first time at The Attic. It was good. Above average certainly but not 5 star. The space, vibe, and location were great however (visit Iguana Imports across the street for great candles among other things).... Ok... I had left this review unfinished for whatever reason. After today's trip to The Attic I have decided to finish it, with updates and new thoughts. This has to be our 4th time here over the years (Yelp tells me it's actually the 6th). The space and vibe are still great, though it was noticeably less busy than previous visits. The cocktails were delicious. They are interesting concoctions and have changed over the years. The menu... not so much. The Mac and Hot Cheetos has been a solid performer the few times we've had it. But adding the fried chicken took it to a new level. After a disappointing chicken and waffles, and good but nothing special breakfast burrito in the past, I thought I'd try the potato pancakes and a side of sausage. Other pictures of the pancakes showed 4 larger pancakes. I got 8 small hockey pucks of... maybe potato. All you could taste was salt. My friend's fries were also terribly over seasoned, even the burger just tasted of salt. We told the waitress, she was just like... oh. The pancakes were the last dish bought to the table (and way overcooked, so I didn't eat half of them) and the sausage was one sausage, cut in half (not 2 - as noted on menu). Okay. Misleading. In years of coming here the brunch menu (unlike the cocktail menu) doesn't seem to have changed one iota in that time. I think it's time, because I am really not sure I want to come back, at least not for the food. read more

What a great brunch spot! Love the outdoor seating options and the food was delicious! Service is outstanding and our waitress was so attentive. It's Long Beach so get there early to get decent parking or plan to get them steps in! I had their eggs Benedict and really loved how different they were bc they had grit cakes as the base.
