    It's going down.
    Chad K.

    It was good. A little pricey, but not a bad total investment for a huge portion of poutine and a double smash burger. The smash burger tasted just like an In N Out, just crispier and richer. The poutine was large, the gravy was well-spiced albeit on the salty side, and a generous amount of cheese curds. It was more than I could finish, in a good way. All in all, I would come back. I would just need to space out my visits to rest my heart and my wallet.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Birria poutine
    Jonai W.

    This is my first time at the LBX LOCATION! The service was fast and friendly, with great menu suggestions! They have stubborn soda on tap! My suggestion mix 25% Dr. Pepper and the Stubborn Cherry ! Anyway I ordered the Birria Poutine fries!!! Will not be disappointed!!!

    Went here with my sister for the first time and recommended to me this wagyu burger place and it hits. I just got whatever she got so I got the spicy jack cheeseburger. It was bangin. My favorite part is probably the spice and bacon in its, but the everything else was spot on. Fries are nice and crispy. Service was helpful and u could free refills too. Gonna try something else next time

    "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!

    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!

    Wagyu smash burger
    Kristine P.

    Stopped by The Kroft at LBX and decided to try their smash burger. It had crispy edges, a flavorful sauce, and perfectly melted cheese. Simple, satisfying, and definitely worth trying if you're craving a good burger at LBX.

    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.

I don't recommend the smash style burger because it's smaller and doesn't come with the fixings, but if that's your thing than by all means enjoy. I got the backyard bbq burger and it was very tasty. Not the best I've ever had but it definitely hits the spot and prices are not bad at all here. If I happen to be in the area again I would definitely be down to phone in my order and pickup for takeout to enjoy the tastiness somewhere I feel a little more comfortable. Staff was also very friendly - when they could be seen at least, but it was one cashier/server with two guys in the kitchen and although it's a small hole in the wall place there is still plenty to do if you're understaffed so I'm not even mad about it. Thanks ya'll!

I don't care how many customers you are trying to get in and get out of the establishment. Please don't chat the edges of the burger because you are trying to do to many things at once. You have one stand alone store on 2nd and plenty of customers who would prefer to spend $1.25 more rather than give it to a larger competitor in the current burger wars. Read the room burning the edges of the burger surely alters the taste of what might have been a great burger story. We were very disappointed to say that the fries trumped the overcooked cheeseburger. I thought for the price of the double cheeseburger that there would be a valiant effort to please the clients tastebuds but that never quite materialized.. The presentation is the trick because the service and the food fell short of lackluster. And before you serve anything Take pride in your own QUALITY CONTROL Look at the burger Then ask yourself would you eat it and if it doesn't passed that litmus test THROW IT. OUT AND START OVER !!!!! It's as simple as that . Have some self awareness.

They coated the chicken in a chili rub that gave it a sweet and spicy flavor when paired with their maple syrup. Served on top of a waffle and topped with an egg. I loved it and would probably order again on my next visit. My wife had the American plate which was your classic eggs, bacon, potatoes, and sourdough toast combo. High quality ingredients elevated it beyond your typical diner food. Drinks were great too. I had their house made bloody mary which had a nice kick to it.

TLDR; It's expensive, and not worth the routine visit, but worth the one-time stop in to experience the festivities. The Miracle pop-up at The Ordinarie is somehow even more decorated and extravagant than you'd expect from a seasonal pop-up. The line looks long outside, as there are no reservations, but it moves quickly since they hold everybody to a pretty strict 2-hour time limit. The drinks are good, the cups are cute, and everyone is festive. It's an all-around fun experience.  I think because of this, you do pay a premium price tag for food and drinks that are just good or okay. I think it's something that is worth the visit if you've never been and you enjoy getting into the Christmas spirit. I think that outside of the pop-up, The Ordinarie is a fun spot to check out in Long Beach. It't not a pillar of the food scene if you're a tourist, but it is a good, late night spot if you work in the industry nearby. They have a great late-night menu with a killer smash burger.

I told him exactly what I ordered. The cashier went to the back and told him to remake it, to which he finally did. The fries were crispy but no salt and adding the old bay seasoning just messed up the taste. It could have definitely used some Creole seasoning. The burger patty was not seasoned, and I don't eat condiments, so the bacon and onion was left to flavor the burger. It was still very mediocre and served with cold un-melted cheese. I would have given it a second chance if it weren't for the cook but I will not be returning.
