    French onion smash burger (cut in half by my request).
    Pamela D.

    Behold the glory that is The Kroft 's French onion smash burger!. It has caramelized onions, melted cheese, juicy burger and au jus. I'm loving the crispy cheese skirt. The garlic aioli... *chef's kiss*. Love me some poutine. I got the classic poutine with gravy and cheese curds.. yum. So rich on flavor. Fries stay crispy despite the gravy goodness. Staff is top notch too for service! Follow up: the fried cheese curds are divine too. The curds are thoroughly warmed and slightly melty. Nice crisp. Comes with a dipping sauce.

    spicy jack smash burger, country fried chicken fries, and blueberry lemonade

    my favorite spot at the packing house!! they offer fries, burgers, sandwiches, and lots of different sides--every single item is delicious. my personal favorites are the braised beef melt and country fried chicken fries! i recently got to try the spicy jack smash burger and WOW!! the flavor is insane! the kroft is located at the bottom level of the packing house, so it can get a little crowded when there's a line. however, service is quick and easy so the line moves fast! all the times i have gone, the people taking my order have been super nice and helpful. whenever i bring friends to the packing house, i always recommend this place!

    We ordered the loco moco poutine (loaded fries). Taste great and I would recommend it.

    Wagyu smash burger
    Cynthia D.

    My brother and I decided to go here after wandering around and I can say that this place is good! I had the wagyu smash burger and it's pretty decent! The burger itself is a bit dry but the cheese and sauce balance it out. The cheese does get a bit overwhelming at times but other than that it's pretty good! The size of the burger too is big in my opinion (I don't usually eat very much) but the burger is definitely good to split between 2 people! The parking area is kind of ok but hard to find parking even on a Friday around noon. Overall: would go here if the wait isn't too long!

    BBQ Ranch Smash Fries + Grilled Cheese

    I came here with my parents on a Saturday around 12:30pm. It was kind of loud, so I had a hard time hearing. Thankfully, they take your name and number, then text you when your order is ready. My dad got the BBQ Ranch Smash Fries. My mom got the Grilled Cheese. I got the Beef Melt. Fortunately for my dad, we agreed that the fries were the best. Unfortunately for my dad, we insisted on sharing. One word of advice... check out the "Texas" donut at the nearby Randy's Donuts! It's hilariously big!

    Was craving for fried chicken sandwich so was in the area and heard good things about this place is checked it out. Located on the lower level at the Anaheim Packing District Place. Parking can be tough but they do have valid parking and street parking. Menu is great with varies choices. Got the spicy chicken sandwich. Staff were nice and the place is small but clean and well decor. They have small seating area right in-front of the counter. The food is good, tasting and well season but not hot at all but then again I love heat so this is just nothing. The owner was taking pics for new dish, pastrami pickles fries and he offered to me after he done. Quite tasting and the pastrami is not bad, if you like sour then this would be a great one to order but for me abit sour so after 4-5 pieces of fries with the sauce I had to gave up but I did finished the pastrami pieces. Overall, not bad at all and glad I tried it, will come back to try other items they have.

    The Kroft, located at The Packing District, was one of the most exciting restaurants to be at, especially during the holidays, as it was just festive and fun filled during the holidays! This restaurant fit perfectly into the ambiance of The Packing District, which features a modern, cozy atmosphere and offers many different menu options. I ordered the smash burger which did not let me down. The smash burger that I ordered was extremely juicy, flavorful, and was cooked to perfection. The smash burger that I ordered also included a nice caramelized crust, which provides a smash burger additional flavor. I paired my smash burger with their gravy smothered fries, topped with fried chicken. Their gravy smothered fries were excellent because they were very crispy prior to being smothered in gravy, and the fried chicken on top of the gravy provided an additional crunchy texture and seasonings to each bite of the fries and to the gravy. The combination of the gravy smothered fries and fried chicken made for a rich and deliciously flavored dish that could have easily been its own holiday treat. Inside the Kroft there was very little seating. However, despite the large crowds and long wait lines during the holidays, the Kroft staff were friendly and helpful! Getting a table and having a chance to enjoy their food while experiencing the great vibe of the Packing District was relatively simple and enjoyable. My experience at the Kroft was both satisfying and fun and has already got me thinking about returning to the Kroft when I go to the Anaheim Packing District again, where I will definitely order another smash burger!

    Beef melt protein style
    Jordan A.

    We ordered the beef melt protein style, cheesesteak sandwich, and plain fries. Everything was very fresh but lacked flavor. The beef melt can just beef, pickled onions, and arugula. The beef had no flavor and it also didn't come with the Monterey Jack cheese. The fries were good but could have used some salt. The cheesesteak sandwich was okay. Again the meat was not seasoned. The bread was good and at-least the cheese was on it. Definitely not worth 40$.

    We wanted to grab lunch and walked around checking everything out and we ended up coming here and it was fantastic Customer Service was above and beyond We placed our order found a seat to sit they brought out our drinks and items presentation was awesome Food was incredible everything was nice and hot very fresh Garlic fries so perfect Smash burger was delicious Our sandwiches were so flavorful and filling Everything was perfect the area was great vibe and customer service again top notch they checked in on us from time to time! I highly recommend this place to everyone to try!

    Spicy Jack Smash Burger
    Victoria M.

    Our burgers were so delicious and filling. We both tried their new signature smash burgers ; the spicy jack smash burger and the French onion dip smash burger. They were both good but somehow tasted almost the same in terms of toppings. The only major difference of course is the sauce it includes (still good!). They weren't too greasy and didn't sit heavy on a full stomach. I wish they gave more complimentary sauces alongside their combos but it's 37cents extra per more sauce. With that being said, if you decide to get more sauce; the pineapple habanero sauce was phenomenal! I couldn't get enough of it. The seating is comfortable given how much space they're allotted to. The service was friendly, quick, and efficient. It's definitely worth the try

    Yum!! Food is good and good company good for groups and choices. Come here! Parking n is not that hard. Get the fries

    Four of the main food vendors here at the Hangar.
    Rangie T.

    My son was arriving at LGB aka Long Beach Airport and so after picking him up we went to LBX Hangar to see what interests my taste buds when I walk around the food court. So I saw their rotisserie cooking up the pork belly Porchetta and so I went with the Porchetta sandwich. Some cheese curds with garlic Mayo and a French onion smash burger. The service was ok, at least there were no mistakes. The burger and sandwich were good. The Porchetta on ciabatta was a bit oily, but very tasty. I would actually try some of their other sandwiches. The smash burger was also very tasty but it was a bit salty, maybe from the Parmesan cheese crisp. Let's see what I go with next time.

    Loco Moco
    David B.

    Etched in the packing district with dozens of food options to choose from, one of my favorite options to choose from for food that always satisfies whatever mood I'm in is The Kroft. Small seating area (to be expected it's the packing district), the menu is plentiful and the workers are helpful, especially with a lot of items I've never tried before. Got the loco moco and the classic fries, and my goodness I could eat 10 boxes of each. Fries are cooked well, nothing dry of any sorts and the additions to each stand out in their own respective ways. Didn't have to wait too long either, and every time I think about the packing district I think of the kroft. Try the poutine, it's great

The line was long but the prospect of gooey goodness was worth it. After placing my $29 order for a bottle of water and the beef brisket poutine, it didn't look amazing but looks can be deceiving. Sadly, the looks represented properly the dish. I don't know what was going on, but every element was terrible. The beef brisket was dry, the gravy didn't have flavor and was so thin that the minimal portion all seeped to the bottom of the dish. Literally 5 cheese curds in the poutine and they were not gooey. None of the dish was. It was all so dry and had no flavor. The fries weren't good either, not crispy at all and I'm thinking what the heck!? If you're going to have a poutine focused truck, how is the gravy watery and not delicious?! How are the fries not bomb!? What am I missing here?! Did I just go on an off day!?

I think it was the Chinatown location that didn't work for them. However, the good news is that they do have three other locations and if you have never been, I suggest you check Kroft out if you love burgers, especially smashed. The other locations are in Long Beach, Anaheim, and Rancho Cucamonga. I wish them luck and I will definitely be stopping in their other locations if I am ever in the area.
