uhhhhhhh foood was fire. mannnnn I was hungryyyy. food was good. Clare was nice n extremely respectful, would come again!!

I LOVE The Kroft!! I've gotten food here about 3 times, and they were all so good each time. I have gotten the classic, loco moco, and BBQ wagyu smash fries, my favorite being the loco moco. I think the BBQ one tasted a bit too BBQ-y for me lol, but still pretty good. If you are at the hangar and you are craving some poutine or anything filling and savory, definitely come here! Service is also good and you get a text whenever your order is ready, so it's convenient that you don't have to wait there. They also always give you your order in a paper bag with napkins and utensils already inside. Overall, 10/10 will come back again. read more

I got the double wagyu smash burger and the fried cheese sticks. Total was around $20. The buyer was really good. It was juicy and tasty. I don't usually like pickle but it tasted pretty good with pickle on it. The only thing I didn't like was the bun was too small to hold this big tasty burger patty and the bottom bun was kind of soggy with the sauce. The cheese sticks were tasty. Friendly service. Took about less than 10 mins to get my order. Definitely will come back to try their other items on the menu. read more

We came and took it to go but I don't take points off for not holding up since that was our choice and we live less than 10 min away. Either way on a side note most of it held up very well! My husband ordered the new double smash burger so I got to steal a bite and to be fair it was probably the fav of all the items for both of us. Great crispy bits on a typical smash burger and the thick pickles was a nice touch. The house sauce is familiar to so cal burger people and was delicious like the other place . It is not on the fixed menu, so I felt like it was a special items but management, if you are reading this...please keep it! We will be back for that for sure!!!! I ordered the braised beef sandwich. Amazing tender braised beef. Not Italian beef but almost more of a shredded roast beef. On a great toasted roll with a melty mild jack cheese and a nice pickled red onion. It came with arugula as well which I don't remember being in the description but I love it so I don't mind, just something to keep in mind if you don't love it. The beef and cheese are hearty and rich so the picked onions provided a perfect sweet and tangy bite that the sandwich needed. I was originally planning on the porchetta since rare to find but i saw it wasn't a true porchetta but a reimagined version for a sandwich. Either way I would try that next time, but this beef option, was recommended by the staff so I gave it a try and I wasn't disappointed. Filled the void if you are craving a hearty beef sub. I think the do a poutine versions with same flavors that I bet would be amazing. Speaking of poutine... We both love a poutine so we decided to share one. To be fair it was a meal on its own, hardly a side, but we decide to splurge and also...why not?! We got the friend chicken one with an amazing peppery country crazy and friend chicken with the classic curds and fries. It was great and imagine eating immediately it would have been even better (but no points deducted). We would get poutine again for sure but would try the loco moco version next time for some variety. As for parking and location. This is in the LBX/the hangar a pretty cool place in LB. It has a bunch of places so everyone can find something they want, an urban food court of sort, like a mall food court with booze, it is amazing. You want poke great, I want a taco and she wants a burger..done and done! We love it but it can be busy, but lots of seating options inside and more outside and very open air social cool place to chill. We don't have kids but seems like a great place for them to run around and get exhausted which seems like common goal for all people kids. This was a Sunday at 12:30 and parking was crowded, but we could have easily sat and ate in person if we wanted but decided to go home to eat where the booze is a bit cheaper. On a side note for the area...Clark near airport has a small farmers market on every Sunday, and every 3rd Sunday at LBCC veterans stadium on Clark is the flea/antique market so we made it a fun few hours of exploring our amazing neighborhood. Check it out! We will be back for sure. read more

Really good burgers and service was great. My regular smash burger alone was a 3.5/5. We also ordered the BBQ Pulled Pork Smash Burger, too much meat for me but was advised it was 20/10 lol . We ordered a side of Garlic aïoli. When I tell you the best decision ever!! Sooo delish! Took our meal over the top!! 10/10 recommend. read more

Driest overcooked wagyu burger. Flavor was bland but the buns were ok. Fries are dark brown and burnt looking. Not sure if it's old oil or refried. The flavor was there but didn't finish it because it left a bad aftertaste with a few bites. Service was friendly read more

I have brought multiple pals with me to grab their poutine and it never fails to be the best! Love the ambiance of LBX and this is honestly the best spot in there. They are quick with orders, always super friendly and kind, really great prices and DELICIOUS! Will be back for sure! read more

This is my third time to THE KROFT. I went along with friends to watch the Dodger game in the Bar area. At the end of the evening I suggested we eat here. The staff was remardkable, but unfortunately they were rushed and I was given the wrong order. When arriving home they had already closed. The next day I called and reported the mishap. The worker was apologetic and took down my information. Unexpectedly i received a call from the Mgr Eric who very professionally apologized and reaffirmed their appreciation towards my satisfaction on next visit. Wow!! They have mastered the lost art of customer service...Kudos to THE KROFT ! I am returning fast to try out theie Poutine. Thank you guys! read more

Seen they had smash burgers, had to try it out. Was not disappointed, really good burger. I wish they would have put more grilled meat onions & pickles but I'll ask next time. Got the sauce on the side.. wasn't a fan of the sauce I ended up just adding mustard when I got home. Not a fan of the fries next time I'll choose another side instead of fries. Definitely recommend. read more

Have been following this place for quite some time on instagram and finally made the time to visit. The freshly made food on their social media was so enticing! Location is the hangar which is very nice. Now for the food: Yuzu fish sandwich 6/10 I have been craving this sandwich for the longest time and unfortunately it did not live up to its expectation. I think the best part of the sandwich was the yuzu sauce, which I will say was an absolute 10/10. BUT the fish was so small compared to as advertised, almost like a filet o fish from McDonalds. And it had no flavor! The yuzu sauce really carried this sandwich. Fish didn't seem to have any seasoning. I will say it was crispy and hot when it came out however. Philly cheesesteak 6/10 Looks like a mess but don't all Philly steaks? Usually the best tasting ones look like this. Unfortunately it also lacked flavor, almost like it has no seasoning as well! It was nice and hot & the sauce and cheese was excellent, meat was nice and soft as well. Just no flavor, easily can be one the best in the city for the price and size. Overall, unless they publicly said they made some recipe changes to their existing items, I don't think I'd make the drive back. Very disappointed but this restaurant has so much potential, luckily in a popular food spot hence why it's convenient for business. read more

The Kroft is a solid establishment. I got the original poutine and the wagyu cheeseburger smash-burger. I thought the cheeseburger was really great, I enjoyed it a lot. The poutine was fine. There aren't a lot of poutine places in Los Angeles, so kudos for that. But, when I get poutine I look for a nice thick cut fry with very very flavorful (homemade even) gravy and squeaky cheese curds. If I had friends that wanted to try poutine and couldn't make it to Québec I might take them here, and it was nice to have a taste of nostalgia. read more

I saw people talking about this on facebook so off to the hanger to try one. I got the wagyu double spicy jack which was super good with the spicy jack cheese and grilled onion and jalapeno garlic mayo gave it a nice kick.. Next time i'll get the combo with fries but if you're looking for a solid burger in LB this place will take care of you! I will definitely be back to try it again because it was that good! They have wine and some beers on tap and bottles. There is a soda machine in the back. The girls running the front were super sweet and answered questions i had about the menu. Food came out in about 10 minutes. Lots of cool items here to eat! Don't sleep on this place! read more

After passing by The Kroft in the LBX on numerous occasions, I finally went for it. Little ashamed that I didn't try them earlier. I got the cheese steak and it was great. Comparing it to an authentic Philly would be like comparing apples to oranges so don't expect the authentic thing here. It was unique and delightful in its own way! The highlight was the potato roll which was super light and soft. I wish the meat was seasoned better and was kind of bland on its own but it was thinly sliced and mixed in with a good amount of onions and Swiss cheese that boosted the overall flavor. It satisfied my cheese steak craving but I have my eye on the Wagyu Smash Burger and Classic Poutine Fries for my next experience at The Kroft. read more

Excellent food and service , great burgers and the fries are always crisp. Huge fan of their spicy mayo as well.

Decided to try The Kroft for lunch. I think it was a good choice. The girl working the counter was very nice and helped me decide. Went with the BBQ Pork Smash Burger, it was very good. The wait was not very long and it was fresh and flavorful. May try it again before I leave town. read more

While exploring the Hangar with my friend for lunch, I noticed a large ad for Kroft's wagyu burger! I was excited since I've been enjoying their poutine options for a while, so I decided to try the Wagyu Smash Fries. It honestly reminded me of a fancy Flying Dutchman on fries from In-N-Out. While I think I'll stick with my usual choice next time, the wagyu patties were still delicious. Service was fast and there's a lot of seating around the Hangar. I really enjoyed the lively atmosphere on the weekends, but the parking lot gets extremely busy! read more

Great food with reasonable prices. In an area with a fun atmosphere. Both inside and outdoor seating options.

The service here is great, the cashiers are very kind and accommodating but my problem is with the food. Ive tried it twice now thinking it was a fluke (it wasn't ). I got the country fried chicken poutine and it was a solid ass/10. I was super hungry and was hit with a 30 minute wait. When I finally got the food, i was ready to completely DEMOLISH it but the first bite was so underwhelming that i got more pissed??? The gravy was so bland and a little grainy and the chicken tasted like it was barely seasoned. You know when you're so hungry that everything tastes good? This was not one of those moments. Maybe it's just me though LOL #nohate #lovemylife read more

Never had a hot sandwich for less than what 1 meal would cost in the Bay Area during inflation. I had the beef melt and this was the BEST thing I had in my trip to SoCal. Curry katsu poutine was also excellent (sadly, got too ambitious and got full). Portions are generous here! Half a sandwich is already filling for me. I would love to see a branch in the Bay Area. Honestly think it can be a great hit as there is not really a place that serves hot sandwiches and poutine in general. This will forever be my go to place in Socal!! read more

First time at The Hangar at the Long Beach Exchange. Family came here after playing pickleball at nearby Marina Vista Park. The Hangar has a good variety of eateries, so our group of 5 each chose dishes from different venues. A fan of poutine, I had the Wagyu Smashed Fries from The Kroft. The dish was ready fairly quickly. It was a good-sized portion, but the meat was overcooked and dry. The "secret sauce" didn't compensate. Maybe the BBQ Wagyu Smashed Fries would have been a better option... read more

The good: My husband's favorite food is burgers so when he sees a giant picture of a burger he cannot help but crave one. This establishment had just that. This is a burger and poutine spot inside Long Beach Exchange (dining hall). We tried two burgers and some fries here. These are the types of burgers you see in photos that are all brown and orange with melted cheese that look overly decadent and could cause a heart attack. They offer other comfort foods as well like sandwiches, beer, cheese curds and mac and cheese. There's plenty of outside dining next to here. They offer a lot of fun dipping sauces. The bad: The burger lacked fresh vegetables and would've benefited from it. The interesting: I've been to their location in Anaheim as well. They offer catering. Hot take but: I've never been a big fan of poutine because the gravy and sauce make the fries soggy. Plain fries with a dip is definitely my preferred e read more

Honestly had high hopes for this place and was disappointed. Everything lacked in flavor and took forever to come out even though it was pretty dead since my friend and I came on a weekday right when they opened. Staff was nice though. read more

Really good comfort food! Located in the Hanger along with various food vendors, The Kroft highlights their poutine fries (fries, gravy, and cheese curds), burgers / sandwiches, and beers. I ordered their wagyu smash burger and for $14, it tasted pretty great. It had a lot of meat, cheese, grilled mushrooms, and greasy goodness (just call it umami). Their classic poutine was $10, and I tried it since I've never had poutine before. I can't compare it with anything, but my friend got the fried cheese curds and that... was sooo good! The food came quickly in less than 10 minutes and everything was pretty great. If you want a casual comforting meal to enjoy, I recommend visiting The Kroft read more

The Kroft - Wagyu double spicy jack smash cheese burger- and poutine - Poutineries Near Me - Long Beach, California

I have been eyeing this ace for a while and had some time today to go check it out with my wife. Their motto is comfort food re-invented but I would say they took some classics and elevated it. Let's start with the poutine. Now poutine on its own is pretty straight forward, good fries, some brown gravy and cheese curds. Then top that with what was basically like mom's pot roast and that's a whole other level. To say these were good would be an understatement. The service was pretty quick, maybe 10 minutes or so to get our food and neither me nor my wife were disappointed in what we ordered. I had the braised beef poutine (aka potroast and poutine) and she had wagyu smash fries. I may have to try the actual smash burger there next time because the patties were delicious. I also tried their cheeseburger egg rolls and those were ok, but not something I would go back for as a must have. The restaurant itself is located in the hangar at lbx so seating is where you can find it and I really like what they've done with that area. So Ambience is kinda relaxed. Will I go back? Definitely! read more

I initially came to The Kroft at the LBX for a Yelp event, so I knew it was good. This time around I got the cheese steak and it was great. It was unique and delightful in its own way, not the OG style from Philly with yellow cheese! The highlight was the potato roll which was super light and soft, there was a nice mix of onions and Swiss cheese, which helped boost the overall flavor. It satisfied my cheese steak craving, I also suggest trying the Wagyu Smash Burger which I had last time, excellent also. They have and adequate beer selection or fountain drink machine to wash it all down with. You can expect fast/friendly service and they have a text notice for when your food is ready. read more

We were in Long Beach for a conference and had heard about the restaurants in the Hanger. After taking a walk around, it was actually hard to decide where to eat because there were so many great options. We ended up ordering from The Kroft, largely because the Wagyu doublesmash burger looked so appetizing. It did not disappoint. Sometimes smashed burgers can end up only being crispy. That's where the wagyu beef was really a plus. This burger was both crispy and juicy (seriously, how do they do that?). And the fries were very crispy, which I love. My wife got the baked potato with chili and cheese, which also was excellent. Both of us said we'd come back here again and it would actually be difficult to choose another place (although there were many other places I'm looking forward to trying). read more

Excellent Poutine! What is it... well at the most basic level it's fries topped with cheese curds and brown gravy. I believe they double fry the French Fries to make them extra crisp, so that they can handle the gravy. I got the braised beef Poutine and it was wonderful. It was also topped with pickled onions to provide a bit of contrast. I am for a side of ketchup because after a while you crave a bit more acidity. They serve alcohol. They have basic soda drinks and also craft soda drinks such as Lemon Berry Acai, which I loved. Note this is located in the metal Hangar with no cellular reception nor any decent WiFi. So plan to eat in their outdoor seating area if you want reception. read more

I had visited this place for a friends birthday. Out of all the food places here I decided to try this place out. It seemed like there was many people that gave this place high praise, but I didnt have as good of an experience. It was mainly the wait and the service with the mess up of my order that quickly changed the mood. I had tried to order multiple different things like the cheeseburger egg rolls, Braised Beef Fries, and the Braised beef Baked Potato. My order took the longest out of all my friends, even though I ordered first. When I finally got my order, I took my food to the outside patio to start to eat, and found out that they gave me the wrong order. I went walked all the way back inside, and there was no initial sorry, they just took my order and talked amongst their team members about the mess up. The same thing that happened to another gentleman who came back, possibly switching up our orders. I would at least let us know what is going on, order was messed up, let me make you another one.. After I finally got my food I was able to finally eat it, it was decent, but don't know if I would pay that much again for it. read more
