    Nice inside seating with a street view
    Tracy B.

    First time trying this. I don't know why I waited so long - but what do they say? It's worth the wait. I ordered the 2 piece tenders - original hot. They nailed the recipe and I loved the fries. Parking is in the back lot. Very small inside but room for outside sitting as well. Staff was attentive. Ordering was on a tablet. Price is efficient

    This place is one of my guilty pleasures lol I used to order from here on Uber eats weekly for their chicken fries. This was the first time I came in and grabbed food. They have private parking in the back. It was actually really crowded when I came in. Mostly packed with people waiting for to go orders and Uber eats drivers. They have kiosks to order on but since I had a birthday coupon I had one of the staff members take my order I ended up getting a coupon for my birthday by signing up for their emails. So I came in and got one order of chicken fries (garlic Parmesan) and then another order (BBQ) and two drinks. I also love their chipotle sauce flavor. They actually have a pretty good selection of flavors to choose from I always order the boneless chicken because I don't like having to work that hard for my food and having to pick chicken off the bones Not going to lie, this place hits the spot after a long day. I always order their boneless chicken salad which is amazing, their boneless chicken wraps and they have great shakes (they also have little pieces of cake for sale up at the counter) I'll always continue to order to go from here. I noticed there is seating outside but I'm not sure if it's for the place next door or they all just share it. Because there's only a limited amount of seating inside

    I drive past this spot all the time and every time I get to the light I tell myself, "I have to try it." But for some reason I never do. Last week, I was out running around heading to book club and needed food, so I decided to try this place. It was on its way and easy enough to make me on time. Well, it backfired on me in a big way. Astonishingly good customer service was provided to me. A friendly smile and a warm welcome greeted me as soon as I walked through the door. My orders were correct and a friendly, attentive, and efficient staff supplied everything I needed. In the back, there are about ten parking spots, however, they might fill up quickly and street parking isn't the best option. The patio is limited however well-maintained, with maybe a few tables and chairs. It's an alright spot to enjoy a meal on a warm day. There is minimalist decor inside, with modern furniture and plenty of legroom, along with a public restroom. They had my favorite type of fries, but I don't know the brand, so I'm just going to call them fast-food fries. It took about 10-15 minutes for the 3 tender combo with BBQ sauce to be made, so I waited in the lobby for about 10-15 minutes. In the meantime, I decided to try a Fri, because they were right there, while I waited for my Target pick-up order. It completely underwhelmed me. Despite my high expectations, the fries were a major disappointment. In addition to the texture being unpleasantly rough, the flavor was nonexistent and crispy, but not in a good way. Additionally, the chicken tenders themselves were disappointing. I found them overbreaded and the texture wasn't very natural. Aside from being too crunchy and overpowering, the breading made it hard to enjoy the chicken itself. The chicken was complete lack of seasoning. The biggest issue was the sloppy BBQ sauce. It was like they poured the sauce straight from the bottle into the container without considering the texture or presentation. And don't even get me started on the taste - it was like they just used cheap, store-bought BBQ sauce that lacked any real depth or flavor. The most disappointing part was the price. Tenders and fries cost almost twenty dollars, which is highway robbery. I've had better at a fast food joint for a fraction of the price. Which is why I choose to return the order. One thing that really impressed me was the way the cashier dealt with the situation. Instead of getting angry or upset, he remained calm and professional, offering a refund and was willing to let me keep the food, but I chose to return it. Overall the service was excellent, but I do not plan to return.

    Cali Burrito with BBQ flavor chicken.
    Mellanie A.

    Buffalo Spot is a great place to get some affordable quick take out. They specialize in their "buffalo fries" which ultimately is a side of fries with some flavored popcorn chicken on top. My go-to is usually the Cali Burrito which is the same ordeal as the Buffalo Fries but just wrapped in a burrito. I've been coming here since about 2016 so I'm not sure if today was just an off-day or if the quality has declined throughout the years as the chicken in my Cali Burrito tasted chewy and was just overall rubbery. It was quite empty upon my visit which is surprising as they're usually pretty popular. I would suggest the owner to stay on top of their quality control in order to avoid serving meh food and to draw the crowds in. Going forward I'll probably order my chicken well done to prevent this in the future. I do encourage people to come try it for themselves though! Their fries are really good and the chicken is usually not this low-quality so again, maybe I just came on an off-day.

    As much as I love chicken, this place is fairly good. Not greasy or drenched in saucy sauce(you like the sauce, huh?). Unless request for it prior to placing your order. They will prepare your wings and fries upon ordering. This way, it's fresh and good. So do expect a wait approx. 15 - 20 minutes. I ordered the FP Traditional Wings(25), with Atomic Hot and Original hot flavors with a side of fries and two drinks. Great value. They have great deals on Tuesday and Thursday, so try to come during those days for the best price and experience. This location has rewards programs, so if you're a big fan of wings, it's so worth it. This place is unique in their own way, from design and presentation, it's pretty nice. If you're in the area, stop by and say hi. Enjoy it here or on the go. Share your experience. P.s. Don't forget to smile cause you're beautiful. SYOY!

    One of the best places in Long Beach for wings. Service and quality is excellent. The staff is super friendly and very welcoming. The atmosphere is ideal to sit and watch a game and enjoy some delicious wings.

    NEW FLAVORS ALERT The Buffalo Spot just dropped 2 new dry rub flavors and you need to try them ASAP!! The first is a lemon pepper butter rub and it has that delicious tangy and peppery flavor we've all had and love The second is a tropical heat rub that has the perfect balance of spice and kick to it The cool thing is that you can even add the dry rub to your buffalo fries I got there around 11am and there was no line, and I was helped right away. It's a little store, but it was nice and clean. Definitely check them out when you're craving some solid chicken

    Buffalo Spot to satisfy that wings craving. Go on Tuesdays for their boneless wing day for 60 cents for each wing. Not sure what flavor you want? You are able to try the different sauces along with the fries. The fries are cooked perfectly unlike other wing places. (looking at you wing-stop) Our food came out surprisingly quick. Along with the great breadsticks it's definitely a place to check out along with the friendly staff.

    David C.

    Visted November 2024. Before diving into the review I have to note that the customer service greeter Luna was amazing, she answered my questions, knew the menu, and was a delight. The food itself was good. I gotta say that shake was stellar and I LOVED that it didn't use a strawberry concentrate but real jelly which included cut strawberry slices within the shake. The same can be said about the chunky peanut butter including its peanuts. The fries were crispy on the outside while soft on the inside. However, it was the seasoning and sauce that were extra super duper yummy. I believe it was their special sauce and Cajun seasoning. I ate it up... The overall restaurant was clean, the restroom itself had a tissue or two on the floor but I'd assume that's because of other customers- not the restaurant workers themselves. Additionally, I counted three of them so I'd give them a break anyways. While the whole graffitied is not my style, I and other costumers enjoyed the sport playing TVs & the funny chicken posters. 5/5 Recap: Yummy Sauce w/ yummy food but needs more funny chicken posters

    Does the traditional wings has any kind of carbs? Like crust of bread? Or is it just fried wings

    Rowzan, Depending on the sauce you choose, they could have carbs from sugars in a particular sauce. From the cooking process, there are no carbs or breading. We marinate our wings, dip them in an egg wash, then deep fry them.

    Can you get the 55 cent wings on Tuesday with delivery too?

    No, the Tuesday special is only available in store.

We were warmly greeted by our server, Ammara who was attentive throughout our meal. The space has a modern and warm vibe, and the food is incredible. For drinks, we ordered the Thai Tea and Thai coffee. The coffee was great. I would have liked the tea to be stronger, though it had great flavor. We began with the Baan Yaang appetizer. It has one skewer each of filet, chicken, and pork accompanied by 3 sauces and a garnish. The filet is marinated and was absolutely delicious on its own. The peanut sauce for the chicken was tasty. I preferred the sweeter sauce for the pork. It also came with a diced cucumber/red onion garnish, which I enjoyed on its own. For our main course, we chose Crab with Thai Chili and Basil along with Owl Fried Rice. Both were so satisfying. Although we were both pretty full, we finished our meal off with the Mango Sticky Rice. They put a special touch on it, decorating the plate with "Happy Mother's Day!" We will definitely be back.

I had definite favorites when I dinner-ed here - both of which were starters. The sea bass larb ($21) was a refreshing way to start the meal. The Chilean sea bass is served ceviche style with fresh lime juice, fish sauce, cilantro, green + red onions with rice paper crisps. There wasn't anything groundbreaking about this dish, but it was a very solid ceviche. We also tried the kao tuna na tung ($13) which was a first for me. Ground pork, shrimp, and aromatic spices are simmered in coconut milk and paired with shrimp cracker wafers. It's surprisingly light, but flavorful. For proteins, we shared a sausage platter (a little dry), pork belly ($16), and the crying tiger ($28). The one misgiving I have is the fact that all 3 are served with the same sauces which ultimately keep them tasting pretty similar. I think The Second Owl is a great place to take out of town guests or if you're entertaining a nice dinner. The menu offers classic Thai dishes alongside less common offerings which keeps the menu exciting.

Unfortunately, the experience fell far short of those expectations. To begin with the positives, the staff were warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive throughout our visit. The outdoor patio on Second Street also provides a pleasant atmosphere and remains one of the restaurant's strongest features. Regrettably, the food was consistently disappointing. The gyro was dry and appeared as though it had been sitting for some time before being served. The pita was noticeably soggy, undersized, and lacked the texture and freshness one would expect. The accompanying salad consisted of low-quality greens that did not appear fresh, and it was served with what tasted like bottled dressing rather than a house-made vinaigrette. Having considerable familiarity with food preparation and dressings, the difference was immediately apparent. The calamari was acceptable but entirely unremarkable, and at $17 it did not justify its price. We also ordered a gyro salad, which suffered from the same issues as the sandwich: dry meat, uninspired presentation, and ingredients that lacked freshness. Ironically, the French fries were the most enjoyable item we received--competent, but hardly enough to elevate the overall meal. What made the experience particularly disappointing was not simply the quality of the food, but the imbalance between quality and price. I have no objection to paying premium prices when they are matched by premium ingredients, careful preparation, and attention to detail. In this case, however, the value proposition simply was not there. Based on this visit, I cannot recommend George's Greek Cafe. While the hospitality deserves recognition, the kitchen did not deliver a meal that reflected either the restaurant's reputation or its pricing. I sincerely hope management reexamines its commitment to ingredient quality, consistency, and execution, because the restaurant has the potential to offer a much better dining experience than what we encountered.

Unfortunately, every time we've been served by her, the experience has been consistently disappointing. She comes across as dismissive and unfriendly toward us, while we often see her being much more welcoming to other tables. After multiple visits, it's become a noticeable pattern. On our most recent visit, we arrived about five minutes before happy hour started. A more attentive server would have simply mentioned that happy hour was about to begin so we could decide whether to wait a few minutes before ordering. Instead, nothing was said. Our food and drinks didn't even arrive until after happy hour had started, so we politely asked if the happy hour pricing could be honored. Bella immediately said no and didn't offer to check with a manager or see if there was anything she could do. It's not even about the discount--it's about the lack of customer service and willingness to help. Every other server we've had here has been friendly, accommodating, and made us want to come back. Bella consistently provides the opposite experience. We genuinely love this restaurant, but whenever Bella is our server, it makes us question whether we want to stay or come back.
