    The cashier was so friendly and helped me make a great selection through her recommendations. The French Onion Smash Burger was amazing!

    The porchetta sandwich is the thing that will keep you coming back here. I've tried other items on the menu but it's the porchetta that I keep thinking about and wanting again and again.

    10/10 the spicy fish sandwich was soooo good. It was flavorful, just enough spicy in the sauce and it came out HOT, crispy. Everything about it was great. Sad it will discontinued I hope they bring it back. This was my first time at the Kroft. The service was really friendly and pretty fast.

    Braised beef poutine
    K Q.

    We got a kids smashed burger, braised beef poutine, and cheeseburger eggrolls. My daughter loved the kids Smashburger. Although it was over priced for a small kids burger. The braised beef was also very good, but the cheeseburger egg rolls were lackluster and also overpriced. While the food was overall good, the wait was a little ridiculous. It took 20 minutes for us to get the food. They must have prepared the protein first because that was just like warm by the time my order was ready.

    Porchetta
    Sarah K.

    I really liked the porchetta sandwich I had here! Nice quantity of pork and very flavorful! You can get it as a combo as well, but I just had the sandwich. This is a cute food court area at the LBX in Long Beach with a lot of seating and a variety of places to eat. Service was good.

    "Leftover" Poutine
    Lisa Y.

    It's been a little while since I've been to The Kroft, but wow have they upgraded their menu! I was honestly really impressed with the food and will be definitely coming back again soon! During the holidays, they have a "Leftover" Sandwich and Poutine that truly feel like a whole Thanksgiving feast packed into one sandwich/fries! The sandwich has turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, fried onions, arugula, turkey gravy, and garlic mayo on ciabatta bread. The "Leftover" Poutine is similar but has french fries, cheese curds, and parsley instead of the arugula and garlic mayo. A lot of ingredients in one, but they all work well together! They usually offer it during the last couple of months of the year. They also have a new French Onion Smash Burger which is amazing! My new favorite item here! It has two wagyu beef patties, provolone cheese, grilled onions, garlic mayo, and French onion spread on a parmesan crusted brioche bun. And the best part is, it's served with a side of au just for dipping! It's so yummy! All of their smash burgers are good, but I think this one is the best! In terms of sandwiches, I'm also a fan of their Chicken Parmesan Sandwich as well! Their poutines are always a classic and what put them on the map. I love that they have a lot of options to choose from--I think they usually have around 10 or 11 different ones to choose from. This location is located inside of Long Beach Exchange (LBX), so once you get your food, you find a table and sit where you want. When you enter the main entrance, they're in the left hand corner, so they're pretty easy to find!

    Classic Poutine
    Alisa B.

    This is the closest I can get to authentic poutine from Canada! The texture of the fries are always perfect and the gravy is never overly salty. The cheese curds melt just fine and the portions are perfect for a mid-day snack. I've never personally tried the other "elevated" or loaded poutine options, but the Classic Poutine never steers me wrong!

    French Onion Smash Burger
    Criss N.

    This place is the underrated lunch gem of Long Beach. I think the Kroft gets lost in the noise of The Hangar, but it is genuinely so good. I came specifically for this French Onion Soup Dip Burger, which was gloriously messy, indulgent, and delicious. It came with a side of au jus as well. I have tried a large portion of the Kroft's sandwiches and poutine and they are all great. I would highly recommend this spot out of all of the options at The Hangar LBX.

    Kathy M.

    This is located inside The Hangar. The ambiance is somewhat noisy because its a food court, and there is music playing out of their sound systems. I ordered the chicken parmesan sandwich and a soda. The weight of the sandwich was a hefty one. There was so much cheese and sauce! The chicken was extreme crispy, juicy, and cooked perfectly. The sauce and cheese complimented the chicken! it was the best sandwich ive ever had. Service was nice at the ordering station and was kind enough to get me a cup for water. They ask for your name and you will pick up the food when its ready. Their craft soda is located in the back of their area and its Pepsi products. Ive been told there is never anything bad to eat at The Kroft. You can never go wrong with anything you order. My husband got their onion burger that came with some au just. Didnt get a photo because he devoured it on the spot! He also said it was just right and he wants to come back and try other items on their menu!

    Loco Moco Poutine
    Melanie N.

    Got the loco moco poutine and enjoyed the flavor of the meal. It has a hamburger patty with crispy onions, fried egg and gravy with cheese curds. Not too salty and bold flavors. Portion was fair for $14, quite shareable. Service is fine, there's quality in the food, but takes a while to receive the food. Ambiance is a quick pick up and go situation...lots of seating indoors and outdoors, but does fill up quickly if it's a busy day

    Beef Melt
    Ty D.

    I was in the area during the lunch hour and decided to check out The Kroft located at The Hangar food (aka LBX) hall in Long Beach. The menu consists of a few specialty sandwiches including a smash burger and also various poutines and loaded fries. I decided on the Braised Beef Melt which is braised beef, jack cheese, pickled red onions, on a toasted ciabatta roll along with an order of fries. They make the sandwiches fresh upon your order. It took about a good 15 minutes to get my order. The beef melt didn't diappoint. The beef was flavorful & tender and loved the pickled red onion on the sandwich. The fries were crisp and tender but slightly overly salted for my taste. It was a very satisfying and filling lunch. I'd definitely come back and try the poutine on my next visit. Service was friendly and helpful in making my decision on what to order.

    Tony Y.

    Strictly for the garlic fries, and damn they were so good. This is what all garlic fries should taste like. Fries were piping hot, crispy and had so much flavor. I still dream about these guys. Will definitely be back to try their burgers.

I ordered takeout today and to say I was disappointed would be an understatement. I came in around 3:15 and ordered two sandwiches to go - the hot roast beef and the BLTA. When I got in my car, I decided to take a bite of my BLT (with avocado) before heading home. It was not good, at all! Instead of a few (or more, because it WAS $16!) slices of delicious bacon, it was a thick sandwich filled with what appeared to be bacon pieces, like the preparer had just scraped together old bacon from earlier in the day. It tasted greasy and burnt. After several sips of water my tongue was still greasy! The avocado was almost nonexistent. I immediately went back in and asked for a refund. I brought my husband his roast beef ($18!). He is not a picky eater, AT ALL! He said it wasn't very good and he should bring them an Arby's to show what a roast beef sandwich should look like. He was really disappointed. Sorry, if you love this place, please ignore my review but I highly recommend that you do NOT order these sandwiches unless the owner makes an announcement that they've taken steps to improve. Too many great places to get a good sandwich.

You will not regret it. The food menu has cheese boards, salads and sandwiches, and everything I've had here has been delicious. The cheese boards are better than sex. There is seating indoors and outdoors. It's minimal, but somehow we always manage to find a table. The service is consistently great and the owner is wonderful. She will be leaving soon and she will absolutely be missed, but what she has built here will definitely be cherished. The new owners fell in love with the place, so you can expect it to be well taken care of and to remain just as charming. Parking is street only, so read the signs carefully so you don't end up with a ticket. If you go on a Sunday there are no restrictions or time limits, which makes it even better.
