    Quiet and comfortable waiting area
    Evan F.

    Sunday lunch yesterday lacked the excellence of past visits. I can excuse the long wait for service once we were seated. The waitress seemed to have a scowl or attitude that was not welcoming. But then she might have been really tired or busy. I ordered the Patty melt which came with a choice of soup, salad, etc. I chose the French Onion soup. I've had it there many times in the past. And I asked for it (cup) to be upgraded to a bowl. When it came it looked good ... until I peered under the block of cheese and realized the "soup" was 99% broth with a few onions and a tiny piece of bread. It was ridiculous. The waiter could have given me a straw rather than a soup spoon. The Patty Melt also tasted great but had really poor presentation. It looked really unappetizing. Maybe I'm just being picky but it looked like meat in burned rye bread. But like I said it tasted very good. We were seated in a booth by the entrance door. Customers crowded in the area draping their arms down the inside of the booth hitting my guest in the head several times. I had to ask the cashier to please not permit crowding inside the entrance as there's a waiting area outside. No one asked how I liked my meal so I didn't say anything about the soup - which was a big time waste. Next time I'm there if a similar situation happens (if I order French Onion soup) I will complain.

    Country fried steak

    Food This place is a local classic and a favorite of many people, and I got a classic country fried steak which is my usual go to brunch order. The actual food itself is a classic type of food, nothing trendy or over the top but you get what you order, which to be honest, isn't a bad thing and I like how their simple their food is. The actual steak wasn't bad, good texture on it crunch on the outside but still kinda tender steak that was cooked well, comes with well seasoned potatoes and eggs. The rest of my party got a burrito and some pancakes and there were pretty good as well and I would say reliable flavors that you know. My order came with a choice of pastry as well and I got a coffee and for me this was the higlight. Warm, fluffy, flavorful, everything that you'd want in a pastry accompanied by steak and eggs, definitely worth coming back to for the coffee cake alone Service/Ambiance For a sunday brunch, our party of 4 was seated pretty much right away but even if you had to wait, the front entrance had complimentary coffee and bread as well. The staff was nice and I liked the overall vibe of the restaurant. Service was relatively quick as well.

    We had breakfast on a Tuesday morning. Parking: There is parking at the Metlox Parking lot. http://metloxmb.com/ You can park for 3 hours at $2.50 hour or you can park at the lower level for up to 10 hours at the same rate. There is also street parking (max 2 hours). Food: We ordered Eggs Benedict 10/10, Pot Roast Benedict 9/10, Country Fried Steak 10/10. I ordered the bran muffin 10/10. The coffee was very good too. Ambiance: They have indoor/outdoor seating. They have booths and tables. They have a long bar area with stools to sit on. Service; It was prompt. You can eat here and walk two blocks to the pier. It is a very good location. I would return.

    Tender, juicy pot roast

    Locally world famous (for a good reason), this establishment is not only a family run local fave, it's a SoCal icon. Ever since 1973, their motto's been, "love all people and cook 'em tasty food." Yep, it was all very tasty, and so I'm giving back some of that love in this review. ** PARKING ** About a year ago, I got a ticket for not having a front license plate on my car (it was reduced to $10 with proof of front plates at MB City Hall). Without this twist of parking ticket fate, we wouldn't have stumbled upon The Kettle. Incidentally, parking is ample in this area, but it's manly metered/ticketed garages. Just keep in mind, that on Tuesdays, the streets are more packed with Farmer's Market vendors. ** SERVICE ** Service was casual & friendly yet attentive. And the food came out faster than it took us to decide what to order. My indecision was in check that morning so our server lucked out. The menu offers so many great options like guava juice (or apple, or OJ, or tomato, or cranberry) to "The Breakfast Club" meals. And if you get a sandwich or burger, I highly recommend trying their homemade soup. ** FRENCH MARKET ONION SOUP ** Let comfort feed your soul with a bowl of their soup. One of their most popular items on the menu, it's topped with a thick layer of parmesan garlic toast and melted mozzarella & Swiss cheese. A side of it was enough for me, but for major cheesemongers, I suggest a full bowl. It came with their honey bran muffin, which was also filling & tasty. Everything here is made from scratch. From what I sampled, it also tastes like grandma's cooking...well, someone's grandma's cooking. Or baking. Those "house made" muffins (in your choice of honey bran, carrot raisin, blueberry crumb, orange zest, coffee cake, or banana nut) smell heavenly. And they're served warm (if you ask) with every salad, omelette, and dinner entrée. ** POT ROAST BENEDICT ** Apparently, the other menu item that they're well known for is the Pot Roast. Since it was still technically breakfast time, I chose the poached eggs over slowly braised pot roast, on top of parmesan garlic French bread. The orange cilantro hollandaise was a nice balance to my meat + potatoes spread. There's also several options for Cage-Free Eggs & Omelettes for breakfasts and real stick-to-your-ribs choices for supper. The apps, classic salads, juicy burgers, and greasy spoon sandwiches looked good at neighboring tables. For night owls and bioluminescence chasers, The Kettle is open all night long on Fridays & Saturdays. So you can have breakfast for supper and banana nut pancakes for a midnight snack. The vibe is comfy, casual, and welcoming, starting at the front entrance. ** UNDER 9 & OVER 90 ** Saw this on the menu and loved the humor. I wonder if your mental age counts ;)

    Nice view inside the Kettle section.

    Came here on a Saturday evening that was rather chilly outside. My guess opted for the sinful garlic fries, while I wanted to heat up from within. I opted for the barbecue pulled chicken which comes with a side of the tortilla chicken and I opted for the big bowl. For the money you're going to spend, you simply cannot beat the level of service quality of the product, and overall ambiance. Anita J was our customer service all-star, and boy was she a delight to deal with. What a great treat right before christmas.

    Two of us got seated right away on an early Saturday afternoon. We sat on the patio and it was great to feel the fresh air and people watch. Service was great and the food came out so quick! We ordered the breakfast burrito, breakfast sandwich, and banana pancakes. The portions were great and the taste was fresh and flavorful. There's paid parking all around the restaurant so you won't have a problem finding parking.

    BBQ POT ROAST QUESADILLA (DD/GH) and The Kettle Burger
    Autumn B.

    The Kettle in Manhattan Beach is an excellent spot to share a bite to eat. It has a very homey feel to it which makes it so cozy and inviting. Its location can make it tricky to find free parking, but there are lots of metered parking and paid parking lots nearby for pretty cheap. We were sat right away, the staff were all very friendly, and our food came quickly. I got the pulled pork quesadilla and my friend got the kettle burger with fries which we split so we could both try each meal. It was so much food I had lots of leftovers which was great. The fries were super crispy on the outside which I love and the quesadilla was very unique and tasty. This is a great spot for all occasions and near the pier which is very scenic.

    I had no idea The Kettle was open 24/7! I've probably walked by this place a million times and didn't have the chance to check it out, but I'm so glad I finally did! Such a little gem, this place has delicious food and a great little vibe too! The service was fast and friendly. I recommend sitting outside, the weather is usually great around here :) Food: 4.5/5 Drinks: 3/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4.5/5 Value: 4/5 Overall: 4/5

    Wonderful restaurant. Checked off all the things I look for. Great location in Manhattan Beach. We ate there on Friday at noon. They have both indoor and outdoor seating with beautiful decor outside. My friend and I were very impressed. Stephanie was our waitress and she was super nice and attentive to our drink refills and overall stay. Jeff, I believe the manager, was also very nice. We had a nice chat before we left. We ordered two dishes. 1. The kettle burger. This was outstanding and made perfect. I ordered it with swiss cheese, and it came with onions, tomatoes, pickles, and I believe 1000 island dressing. Fries and iced tea. Delicious and extremely filling. 2. Braised pot roast dip which was a sandwich that came with caramelized onion, cheese, on a French baguette. She loved it. We were very happy customers and will go back when we get to Manhattan Beach again. Thank you.

    We really enjoy this café! Since we live nearby, it has become a little family tradition for us to come here on Saturdays. The atmosphere is very pleasant, cozy, and welcoming a great place to relax and enjoy a good breakfast. The food and service are always consistent, which keeps us coming back. Another big plus is the location it's right near the beach, so after breakfast you can take a nice walk and head over to the pier. It makes the whole experience even better. Definitely one of our favorite local spots.

    Micaela M.

    The Kettle is definitely a staple for my family because of the variety of options on the menu and the amazing view that the beach has to offer! The wait can be overly long along with parking being a bit of a distance sometimes because of the limited parking on the streets. I appreciate how consistent this place is, especially the muffins and tater tots as they are truly yummy. I do wish the pancakes were better as they are one of my favorite foods but on multiple occasions, it's been well done and hard on the top which is not something I enjoy. But all in all, the service is mainly helpful and I'm glad restaurants like this exist.

The ocean views are absolutely beautiful, the bar area has a great energy, the staff was friendly and attentive, and there's clearly a strong local regular crowd that gives the place life and personality. The atmosphere honestly carries a lot of the experience here. Food-wise though, I have mixed feelings considering the pricing. The menu is definitely charging premium Manhattan Beach/oceanfront prices, but most of the food itself felt pretty average. The breakfast potatoes were especially mid and lacked seasoning or anything memorable. My wife didn't enjoy the pork belly benedict much, although she did really like the salmon benedict. On the other hand, the bluefin tuna tostada was magnificent and easily one of the standout dishes we had. The fries situation was fascinating to me. They're $15, but to be fair they give you an absurd amount of fries -- basically an entire fry boat. They also serve them with house-made ketchup and aioli, which sounds great... except they give you about a thimble worth of sauce. I started noticing almost every other table with fries had huge piles left over and completely ran out of sauce early on. At that point it almost feels intentional because there's no way the restaurant hasn't noticed this pattern already. Overall, this is the kind of place where you go for the scenery, people watching, drinks, atmosphere, and social experience more than for mind-blowing food. If you approach it that way, it's a really enjoyable spot.

Every round that hit the table was a "pass it around, everybody try this" moment. The kind of happy hour where you're not just snacking -- you're accidentally having a full-on dinner because you can't stop ordering "one more thing." Food: Legit. Everything we tried was solid, but the wings were the standout for me -- the kind you keep reaching for even when you tell yourself you're good. Great flavor, cooked right, and they held their own against any wing spot that claims they're "known for wings." Whatever they're doing back there, keep doing that. Service / experience: This is where they really won. Trent was our guy tonight and I can't say enough about him. Manager supreme is the right title -- he wasn't just checking boxes, he was running the whole experience. He served, suggested, kept the pacing perfect, and made it feel effortless while still being locked in the entire time. You can tell when someone actually cares that your night is going well, and Trent is that dude. Major asset to this business and the kind of manager that turns first-time visits into "we're coming back next week." Atmosphere was exactly what you want for Manhattan Beach happy hour: lively, comfortable, easy to settle in, and perfect for a group. We came to try the menu and ended up staying for the vibe. Only complaint -- and it's not even on them, it's on the "beach cities trying to save the world one soggy sip at a time" vibe -- the paper straws. I swear those things last 11 minutes before they turn into a wet napkin. Let me live, Rockerfellas Bottom line: If you want a happy hour that actually delivers, Rockerfellas is it. Bring friends, come hungry, and if you get Trent taking care of you? You're in elite hands. We'll be back.

    If I can tack on a 1/2 star or 1/2 point above, I would. And the only reason WHY I am not giving a…read morefull 5-star rating is because of The Rockefeller's cockamamie rule of "yes, we're dog friendly" but "you can't have your dog or your party block the sidewalk" and "we're not allowed to have the chairs out to here (indicating a particular distance on the sidewalk)", etcetera, etcetera. GIve me a break. JUST SAY that The Rockefeller isn't dog-friendly and be done with it, ok? By the way, this incident WAS on Mother's Day 2026, so the staff was particularly overwhelmed. . . so there's that timing. On a previous time my husband and I had brunch here about 4-5 months ago, we DID take our little doggie without any issue. So the staff either has to get their stories straight for next time or just say that The Rockefeller IS dog-friendly, BUT ONLY for a two- or one-person party. Other than that, The Rockefeller's Chilaquiles are phenomenal. It was flavorful and filling. Also, the Bacon & Eggs (two eggs, any style) -- which I had my eggs over-easy -- were outstanding. Bottom-line: Don't bring your dog. It's just too complicated for The Rockefeller to handle. Leave your dog at home.

Anyone who knows the biz knows that Mother's Day is an insanely busy day! We were seated promptly. We started with their decadent warm banana bread with caramel and butter! They sent us the blistered green beans with pork belly cubes, delicious! Our daughter had orrechiette with lobster, very tasty! Wifey had the classic eggs Benny and I had the breakfast burrito! All very satisfying! And thanks to our server, Danny for taking care of us! Mahalo to the managers, Brian and Shawn!

    Good experience at this restaurant in Manhattan beach. Modern take on Southern and general American…read morecuisine. Food was great, but not mind-blowing in my opinion. Some dishes could've been executed better. Going down the list of dishes I had here: - Bacon Cheddar Buttermilk Biscuits: These were more like scones rather than biscuits. Crunchy with good bacon and cheddar flavor. - Japanese Hamachi Crudo: Unique and I liked the citrusy flavor and creamy texture. However, 3 small slices of fish for $26 was overpriced. - Leafy Greens & Radicchio: Solid and crispy salad with a nice tangy dressing. The cheese also added a lot of sharp flavor which was nice. - Skirt Steak: Good flavor and char, but a bit tough. Also some dry pieces. - Chilean Sea Bass: Lemon orzo risotto was creamy and delicious. The sea bass itself was okay, nothing special. It felt overpowered by the risotto. The fish was moist and flaky though. - 20 Oz Prime Beef Ribeye: Quality was subpar relative to price. Portion size was solid by the steak itself was inconsistent. Some of the pieces were rarer while others were more well-done even though we asked for medium rare. There were also some dry pieces which I did not like. Flavor was good though. - Strawberry and Olive Oil Cake: Was confused since there was just a thin layer of cake, but realized the title also referred to the mousse. I would title it 'Strawberry Mousse with Olive Oil Cake" to make it less confusing. Regardless, this was a delicious dessert! Love the fruity strawberry and savory pistachio flavors as well as the smooth textures. - S'mores sundae: Got this on the house for my aunt's birthday. A generous portion but the components were a bit too sweet for my liking. I visited this restaurant for a birthday that I organized and my experience was overall good. Reservation was made easy using OpenTable and I could also mention it was for a birthday occasion. The ambiance was gorgeous with good mood lighting. Good for group and 1 on 1 dining. Parking is metered or street parking. Overall, I probably wouldn't come out of my way to dine here again, but my experience wasn't bad just not significant enough to put in my rotation. Would come back if someone treated me here though.

Food was very delicious! Ambiance was great nice floral energy. Stuff we ordered: Getting figgy with it: It was just a whiskey on the rocks. 8.5/10 Firecracker shrimp: amazing! Alot of flavor and the shrimp is cooker to perfection. We loved it so much so that we ordered a total of 2 of them! 10/10 Fig and pig pizza: very tasty, very unique in terms of flavors. You the fig compliments the Bleu cheese very well, just wish it was crispier. 9/10 Manhattan beach cobbler salad: It was pretty basic after having all the other flavors. Was just a salad nothing special about it. The chicken breast felt dry even though the salad was very wet. 6/10 Overall an extremely pleasant experience from the little things of a clean bathroom and clean cooking space to the better things of clean and happy looking staff will definitely come back in the near future.
