You order at the counter (either for takeout or to dine in), and they have a nice selection of imported Italian goods like sauces and pantry items, which gives it an authentic feel. I tried their meatball sandwich, and it was honestly delicious--super flavorful and clearly made fresh. One of my favorite things is that they also sell take-home pints of their sauce at a really affordable price. I brought one home and cooked with it, and it tasted way better than your typical store-bought jarred sauce. They also offer weekday specials, which is a nice bonus. I've been to both their Long Beach and Seal Beach locations, and both have been consistently good. Overall, it's definitely a thumbs up from me. I'm excited to go back and try more items on their menu!

Santa Fe Importers has always held a special place for me, but it just isn't what it used to be…read more The sandwiches are still good, and the Italian market is fun to browse, but the overall quality doesn't feel the same as it once did. The deli sides are also pretty expensive for what you get. I'd still stop by if I'm in the area, but it's no longer a place I go out of my way for. For me, it's about a 6 out of 10 these days. I hope they can get back to what made them so special years ago.

I could tell the gentleman was on the phone when I arrived, but he made it clear that my order was going to be priority. This goes a long way especially in today's society. They've got an enclosed patio that looks like it would be a dope lil spot to catch a game one day while eating. I needed to get some work done so I logged on and sent an email or two. I promise my food was ready before I could get to my 4th email. Hot, great tasting cheesesteak. I really want to know where the french bread came from. Man! Can't wait to go back

Had a chance to stop in for an early dinner, before a Long Beach Coast baseball game at nearby Blair Field. The food and ice cream were good, with friendly service to boot. OMG Burgers and More opened in Feb of 2025, right across the street from Wilson High School, catering mainly to high school students (though they are open on Saturdays as well, 11:00 - 7:00 pm daily). It's located on busy and fast 7th Street, and we found non-metered street parking on Roycroft avenue close by. It's a walk-up set-up, with a small food menu (no deep fryer), a small selection of ice cream, and a wider selection of water ice. The owners lived in Philadelphia for a bit, and brought back the recipe for a philly cheesesteak. We came a little before 5 pm, and we were the only customers, but the one worker was attentive throughout. One places and pays for the at the outdoor walk-up (credit cards accepted with 3% service fee, clover as the point-of-sale). The order is made-to-order, so took a while to come, and a simple yell of 'it's ready!' was enough for us go back up to get our order. There is a small outdoor fully-covered dining room with six permanent picnic tables, and two flat screen tvs. Drinks are the canned variety, not including the water ice or lemonade. The food is divided into burgers, hot dogs, cheesesteaks, patty melts, sides (no fries, though), drinks (bottled lemonade, and canned soda), and desserts (water ice, banana pudding, and ice cream). The food is a la carte, and none of us tried any of the sides. My mother-in-law got the chicken burger ($7.99) with pickles, lettuce, mayo, and american cheese slice (+$1), our neighbor friend got the beef hot dog ($5.99) with ketchup, relish, mustard, cooked onions, and bbq spread. My wife got her plain cheese burger ($8.99). I got a loaded cheeseburger ($8.99), with lettuce, tomato, ketchup, mayo, cooked onions, and pickles. The burger was really good quality, seemingly hand pressed and from fresh (not frozen). The bun was a very soft brioche, which went with the meat and toppings. They offer all the burger toppings for a backyard cheeseburger, plus cooked onions (in additional to raw), which I liked. Halfway through eating, I figured we had room for the ice cream that I wanted to try. This time, I went up to choose a 3 scooper ($7.99). I've gotten spoiled lately with the ice cream scoop sizes that we've gotten from local ice cream shoppes...not the case here. The ice cream was OK, with the ultimate oreo being better than the rocky road which was better than the vanilla. Everything is in disposable containers, so self bussed. Will have a bigger appetite next time we are here, so can try their philly cheesesteak.

I decided to get a cold Sandwich on a very hot day. Although their hot Sandwiches and BBQ meats are my favorite. I chose Chicken Salad and glad I did. It was excellent and I will definitely order again! I love their Squaw Bread and it paired perfectly with the chicken salad! Very generous serving and I definitely could habe saved half for later but I ate it all. What was very nice, they wrote Happy Birthday on my sandwich wrapoer! I also ordered a side, Street Corn. It's our family favorite side. So good! I only had a taste and saved it for dinner with my family! All of their sides arwrapper! Service as always was friendly and helpful. The staff working the counter said Happy Birthday to me. The Birthday message on my sandwich wrapper, very nice! Made me feel special! Thank you Beach BBQ for my birthday treat! We will be back soon!

The pineapple added to what's basically a Cuban style sandwich sounds different at first, but it works perfectly. The balance of sweet, savory, crispy, and smoky was spot on. Everything tasted super fresh and the bread held everything together perfectly without getting soggy. My original plan was to eat half and save the rest for later... yeah, that didn't happen. Ended up finishing the whole thing because it was that good. Service was friendly, food came out quick, and the whole spot had a really chill local vibe. Definitely a hidden gem if you're in the area. Highly recommend this place and I'll for sure be back to try more off the menu.

After dropping our son off at LAX, we searched for a German restaurant on our way home. We found this place in Long Beach and are so happy we did. It's a great corner spot with both lots of indoor and outdoor seating. It was decorated with lots of German artifacts, as well as World Cup items. The workers were very friendly and welcoming. They gave us some great suggestions and we took him up on them. They had a large selection of German beers and I got a Dunkel since it's one of my favorites. My wife got at Helles. For food, we had to get a pretzel, Wiener schnitzel and potato pancakes. All 3 were delicious as were the two beers. It is our new go-to German spot.

We came all the way from Santa Clarita and we're not disappointed. Past all the namebrand places by the aquarium and came here and we're not disappointed. I had the work burger, which has fried portobello mushrooms. Others in our group had grilled cheese and poutine burger, and Italian burger and the hotdog and the breakfast burritos. No one was disappointed actually, we were surprisingly pleased with our selections. Sleeper items are the fried cheese curds by themselves. Make sure you get these. Also the onion rings are batter dipped. And beyond delicious! Only bummer is the drinks are cans, so if you need more than one drink, be prepared to pay for each can. The food was super delicious!!

We stopped by here because it was late and they were still open. Another reason I wanted to try it…read morewas because they served poutine, and I'm always on the lookout for places that offer it. It was really loud during our visit. I'm not sure if it's always that lively on Friday nights, but it was the weekend of Warped Tour, so there was a lot of music and energy. If you're looking for a quieter meal, this may not be the best night to visit. The food itself was good, but the wait was much longer than expected. We waited almost 40 minutes for our order. Unfortunately, my burger was also made incorrectly. I ordered the Bacon Bleu Burger but was served a different burger instead. Not quite sure what it was, but it had mushrooms and American cheese. Since we had already waited so long, I decided to just eat it rather than send it back. The burgers were flavorful, but they were smaller than I expected for the price, and they don't come with fries. To round out my meal, I ordered the poutine fries. They were decent. The fries were nice and crispy, which I appreciated. My husband ordered the Burger Don Chendo, and that ended up being the standout of the night. I usually don't like spicy food, but this burger had just the right amount of heat without being overwhelming. Overall, the food was enjoyable, but between the long wait, the incorrect order, and the portion size for the price, the experience was a bit hit-or-miss. I'd be willing to give them another try, especially for the Don Chendo burger, but I'm hoping for a smoother experience next time.
