Margaritas with requested Don Julio blanco tequila were great! Both Garlic Bread and Fried Zucchini were temperature hot and delicious. Ribeye steaks were tender and flavorful. The Shrimp Linguine was full of juicy extra large shrimp. I cannot wait to go back! read more

Brought our friend who is from South Africa here hoping that she would get a little taste of home. She is from Durban, and we saw that this restaurant had Durban Lamb Curry. The ambiance was nice, and the restaurant was busy, so we knew the food must be pretty good. Our party got the ribeye, surf and turf (ribeye with shrimp), Sheppards pie, and the lamb curry. Our friend LOVED the curry and said it reminded her of home. The pie was also good, and my surf and turf (ribeye cooked medium) was cooked perfect. Unfortunately the temp for my friend's ribeye was not cooked medium-well as she requested. But other than that definitely worth a try! read more

Not sure what has happened here but the ribeye I had Friday night was definitely NOT the quality I'm used to from The Eldo. I've had the ribeye several other times here over the past few years and it was amazing. However, my steak on Friday (my birthday) was inedible. Tough and gristly. I tried it in several spots but it was the same. I finally told the waitress that it was not at all what I expected. She suggested that I try a new one. Which I did. The 2nd one was MUCH better, but STILL not like the ones I've had in the past. At least I was able to chew it, but there were still a lot of gristly parts. I'm the gal that LOVES the fat, so it's not uncommon to see me gobble up the entire ribeye and leave nothing. I did leave several pieces on the plate. I tried but had to spit out several. I'm highly disappointed. We go to the Eldo quite often, as we live very close by, but usually for happy hour/appetizers. I'll still go for that but I'm thinking next time I want a ribeye for my birthday, I'll head down to the 555. read more

Eldo as in El Dorado Park- hidden gem!!! Locals definitely know about this - reservations are a must or you won't get in at meal time!! inside bar area, a little noisy large outside area- cozy, but nice restaurant vibe. The food is amazing ! Family, friendly kid portions are absolutely huge. Adult portions you're guaranteed to take home leftovers unless you're hungry. All the desserts we tried were amazing. The restaurant is connected to an ice cream stop next-door Scoops. Lots of wonderful flavors to choose from for all the desserts as they go next-door for the ice cream and their dessert items. The service was very attentive and fabulous! We highly recommend the Shepherd pie, the fish and chips and the beef Wellington! The parking lot is small and tight. You can tell locals are welcome as there is bicycle parking. What would make this perfect for me is if they had at least one ice cream item that was lactose free! Although we live close, this would be a restaurant we would definitely go to even if it was an hour away. It is worth the drive and if you're visiting Southern California, you gotta try this place out! read more

Thank you to Michael and the crew at The Eldo for a great birthday celebration Saturday. The food was amazing as always. Everyone in our party raved about their meals, from the bacon wrapped dates, the steaks, to the Malva cake desert. Our service was as good as the meal and the entire staff made our celebration special. The Eldo is our family's favorite and will be yours too!! Thank you all. read more

This place is a local gem! Magnificent food that makes your cravings go away from anything you pick on the menu. The restaurant itself is superb, when it comes to the service. The dark translucent esthetic look you get from the inside, is nothing from how it looks from the outside. Which I might add, is a pleasant surprise to walk into nowadays bc everyone is so quick to post and expose everything on social media. Anyhow, I've been gatekeeping this place for a while now bc it's my getaway for drinks and any food item that I want that home cooked feel to it, I come here! Cheers read more

My family moved to the area a year ago and I feel like we're regulars. We dine here perhaps once every other month, if not more so. We've been here enough to know they don't have apple juice, the kids burger doesn't come with cheese, rainbow grilled cheese is solid, the hubby gets the LBC IPA. This was our go-to spot for easy local dinner with good food and atmosphere for our two preschoolers. But after a recent outting, I'm not so sure it will be on our rotation. My family and I were dining with the in-laws who were in town. We were seated by two moms with 5 young children who were unruly. They played under the table, they ran around the patio area and bumped into the MIL chair a few times. This was ... not normal behavior a dining environment. We were not a Chuck E. Cheese or Dave and Busters. We were at the Eldo, which is very family friendly, but again, it's not Chuck E Cheese. The staff or the manager did not seem to care or mind the chaos that was happening. The in-laws were biting their tongue and tolerant of the situation until one of the kids tried to grab the fire distinguished off the wall. That was when shit it the fan. The FIL got up to stop the child from grabbing the fire extinguisher. There were some heated words exchanged and that party left. Afterwards, the manager sort of victim shamed us, saying we should've asked to be moved to another table instead of letting things get to that point. I don't think things were handled properly and it has left a bad taste in my mouth. Needless to say, we have not been back since. read more

Bit of backstory (per usual): I disc golfed for YEARS at El Dorado Park, and this spot is always in the line of sight walking to hole 3. So I finally gave it a shot, and I've now been a regular for years, but it's time for a review. Ambiance: I'm greeted EVERY TIME I've walked inside. Always with a smile. I sit at the bar, as I'm by myself most of the time (dating is trash lol). I'm probably butchering the spelling, but I used to come for Anastasia. I think I've put this in most of my reviews, but guest connection is imperative to me because going out is still an experience. It still costs money. But man, miss her working there, but the other servers/bartenders are all incredible! Service: It was a busy night because of the Lakers game. The bartender was busy, but as soon as I sat down, she said she'd be right with me. Acknowledged me immediately; her awareness was comparable to Spider-Man. I don't even think I was completely sitting now that I think about it. I got there, started to pull the chair out, and THEN she said that. As the youths say, she was "quick with it." My Buffalo Trace neat arrived promptly. And I was talked into a Ribeye. I love meat. Pause. Food: My ribeye was cooked to a perfect medium-rare. I'm a fast eater. I feel that most guys just demolish meals with no remorse for the time it took to cook it. Ha ha. But I took my TIME eating it. It was phenomenal. As you can see in the picture, I took a few bites before remembering I wanted to review it. I was salivating more than Pavlov's dogs. The steak looked and smelled so good, it made me FORGET to take the picture. Wrap-Up: Great experience as always. 10/10. read more

The food selection is diverse. Service & atmosphere are great especially on the large patio area.

ELDO is one of our all-time favorite family restaurants. As a family of five, we truly appreciate how easy it is to get a reservation when we need one, suggest making. The staff treats us like family every time we walk in. Because we're regulars, they know our order and genuinely check in on us, which makes the experience feel extra special. The customer service and servers are always friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The food is consistently amazing. The chicken dumpling soup is my absolute favorite, the Wellington is chef's kiss, and the kids love the great ice cream selection. Great food, great service, and a place we'll happily keep coming back to. Highly recommend!! read more

Was gifted a gift card and could say this spot was worth the drop in. The wife had the tavern burger, the fries were a double fried fry nice and crispy and great ranch. The burger itself was good a nice double patty burger. I myself had the chicken pasta, nice cream sauce with a pesto sprinkled throughout. The server was great attentive and helped speed up our food order for our little one. The outdoor covered patios nice on a sunny day and worth sitting outside. Had a whiskey sour from the bar and was happily surprised when the server asked if i wanted it prepared with egg whites. Which is something to go above and beyond Only thing that held this place back from 5 stars was the host staff. Short answers and seemed as if we caused a problem not making reservations when the restaurant and patio were both empty. but would go back again to try out the ribeye next time read more

Crowded with too small a parking lot for such a good restaurant! Server was wonderful and the food was amazingly good! Had the pot pie and loved it. Friends had porterhouse steaks that were fabulous! Very pricey so can't visit very often. Enjoyed it! 3 stars due to parking and high prices. read more

My sister and I were both virgins to The Eldo. We had just experienced The British Invasion Tribute concert at the Carpenter Theatre, and were excited for another adventure. All of the staff we had dealings with were extremely friendly, nice and helpful. We decided to sit in the bar, because they were very busy, as a football game was on the million TVs all over the place. It was a fun crowd! April was our server, and she was absolutely the best!! Our drinks were yummy and we both had BLTs with cheese and avocado added. So that made them BLTCAs...they were tasty! The Eldo is kinda loud...especially with a football game going on, but it's fun! And with the staff being so accommodating, especially April, we will definitely be back, and bring friends and family with us! Thank you, Eldo for a great time!! read more

Had a truly amazing dining experience here! I was looking for a good beef Wellington for my husband and stumbled upon this hidden gem that is a known favorite for local Long Beachers! Our server was super fun and helpful and gave some great recommendations! The inside is a pub-y bar meets nice date feel without being too stuffy. I hear they have a nice patio that is good for families and a little brighter seating. I do plan to return! read more

My daughter's rehearsal dinner was here. Not from Long Beach but this place has been around since the 50s. Tons of food options, the steaks were really good and those people that had the tacos were raving about them. We had the pretzel, bacon wrapped dates along with fried zucchini. All were delicious. Wednesdays you get half off bottles of wine, their is an exception to that special but should be a problem The person who took care of us did a really great job, apparently he has a fine dining job also so that only helped out for us. We sat on the indoor patio which has lights hanging and made for a great experience. read more

Best rib eye in town!! The menu is robust, though we keep ordering the same thing becauae it is that good.

Sharing the pretzel and dessert makes it perfect. Service is always great. read more

One of my favorite spots! Best Filet yet! Just need to keep the wife from keeping me away!

This place was great! Food was on point and the service was even better. Everything we ordered was excellent, but shout out to the giant pretzel which stole my kid's hearts and to the insane Gatsby Sandwich that could literally feed 3 people. The menu was very kid friendly (kids meals include ice cream at the end!!) but don't let that fool you, the vibes were right and I could see leaving them at home for a date night in the future. Portions are generous, so we left happy! Definitely recommend. read more

This was my first time here, although I've been wanting to go for some time now. We came 11 deep for a birthday, unplanned, and they were still able to accommodate with a smile - thank you. :) It's tucked away, and when you drive by it just seems like a dive bar with a bit more parking than usual, but let me assure you it is anything but that. The food was amazing, they have a mix of Americana and South African dishes. I got the Durbin Style Lamb Curry w/ Papadals, Sambals, and Chutney and it was beyond expectation. My kids got the Eldo Burger combo w/ blueberry cheesecake shakes and loved it, my wife got the Peri-Peri Chicken and was thoroughly pleased, and other got items like the Surf n' Turf and Stuffed Pork Chop. Long story short, every dish we got was phenomenal. :) The ambiance is that of a pub and grill, nice restaurant type seating on one end and a sports pub vibe on the other, there was also some outdoor seating as well. In all it was everything I hoped it would be and more; we will definitely be returning, and I hope to see you there! :) read more

We always get great service here. The staff are always friendly and attentive. Our server last night was outstanding. I've always sat at the bar. They play great music. I highly recommend the Peri-Peri Chicken. This dish was dynamite. That peri peri packed a punch of spices right into your mouth. Upgraded fries for mash potatoes. I will never order the Tri Tip Dip again. It was not my jam. I didn't really feel like it had much flavor. Very plain. The only thing I enjoyed eating were the fried onions on top. Upgraded the fries to garlic fries and they came out cold. Wasn't a fan. read more

My friend and I recently paid a visit and we had an amazing time! I opted for my usual filet mignon plate and my friend got the same as well. We also decided to order some margaritas, an appetizer and dessert. The night was going great until my friend asked for some to go boxes and the young waitress said "yeah that's a lot of food" and laughed as she walked away. I feel that comment was just plain out unnecessary and I didn't appreciate that. I've also noticed the same waitress and the hostess eyeing our table throughout the night and I honestly felt rushed. I understand it was a Saturday night and you want to clear tables out fast but please don't awkwardly stare down your tables and say rude remarks, it made a 5 star night into a 3 star simply for the service. Food was amazing as always though and regardless of the low quality staff i'll continue to support this business. read more

Every dish we've had is amazing. Best fish and chips around that's for sure. Their stuffed PorkChop was to die for. The honey chicken sliders were so mouth watering and tasty. We plan on going there again soon. We go every 2 weeks or so. If you go after 6pm you do want to make a reservation. They get pretty packed and for good reason. Very friendly staff and the owner pops out to say hi every now and then. He's always working in the back. Fully recommend this place. read more

Aside from being the best ribeye steak in Long Beach, all of the food at the Eldo is great. I love the surf and turf with three tiger giant shrimp, the seasoning on the shrimp is amazing. The service is also second to none. We have had Aidan several times as a server, he is very attentive and has given us some great recommendations. I never would have tried their pork chop if Aidan hadn't recommended it highly. Great selection of beers on tap too, very good selection of local IPAs and Hazy IPAs. The patio area is always our favorite place to sit. it is a great atmosphere. I miss the old performance stage that the Eldo used to host bands on, but it does keep it a bit quieter for better dinner conversations. The pretzel is a great appetizer as well, and if you have ever tried Gordon Ramsey's Wellington, the Eldo's gives it some serious competition, especially at less than half the price. The butter cake is also a great way to finish off any meal there. I just wish not as many people had discovered this neighborhood gem as it keeps getting harder and harder to get a table there! read more

Had a late lunch with my little sister and it was great. In times past, parking was an issue but not this time and I think it was due to arriving before 2pm. We were seated immediately, and the server was great. I had Fried Shrimp, and my Sis had Lamb Shanks and a salad. The shrimp was delicious, and the lamb shanks were tasty and fall-off-the-bone tender. The Eldo is also known for their cocktails and my sis had an Old Fashion. I stuck with water since I was the DD. If you've never tried the Eldo, I strongly recommend you do so. read more

Good food. Safe location. Been around for a long time...popular with the locals. Just across the street from its namesake El Dorado Park.

I had this restaurant saved on Yelp and have been wanting to try it. I arrived on a Friday at 5pm. The small parking lot was full and I had to park in the residential area behind the restaurant. Aaron was our server who was amazing. We had 6 in our group and he kept checking on us. I ordered their Apple Bourbon Spice drink which is definitely 5/5 stars. For food, I ordered their filet mignon nachos. I ate less than half because it tasted weird. Unsure if it was the cheese or something else. Unfortunately, within 15 minutes, I felt light headed and my stomach started bubbling. I knew immediately it was food poisoning. I went to their bathroom and the food came out of both ends. I rushed home (thank God I didn't get a speeding ticket!) and my body continued to disperse the food from my mouth. Unsure if it was the meat, or the condiments on nachos, or cross contamination, but the food made me sick. The servers, service, and Apple Bourbon Spice are 5/5 stars. However, due to getting food poisoning, I will not return. read more

We were in the north Long Beach area and this place was recommended by a friend. I was a bit hesitant as I'm not a fan of sports bars but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was much more than that. We were quickly seated and told to scan a QR code for access to the menu. Sadly, cell phone reception was spotty and it took a few minutes to get the menu to open on our phones. During that time, our server came and introduced himself. He was quite genial and very knowledgable about the menu. We ended up ordering the lamb curry, one of their signature dishes since they focus on North African cuisine, as well as a couple of beers. We also opted for the vegetable samosas as a starter. The samosas were delicious with just the right amount of spice. They were identical to what you'd get in an Indian restaurant. I was a little disappointed that they served it with sweet chili sauce which is common in Asian restaurants but not at all North African or Indian. I would have preferred a tamarind or cilantro based sauce which is more typical. The lamb curry came next and was absolutely delicious! It was served over a bed of turmeric rice with a crisp papadum and some little cups of condiments to use as you wish. The condiments included shredded coconut, a salsa similar to pico de gallo, and a killer chutney. That chutney would have been a better match for the samosas. The lamb pieces were tender and the curry was nicely balanced. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal and would be happy to return if we are ever in the area again. I dinged them one star for using a QR code in an area with bad cell reception, which the server acknowledged and apologized for, and for serving a non traditional dip for the samosas. read more
