    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.

    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.

    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!

    "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.

    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.

    Vincent S.

    Solid place. The serving good, and the food is decently portioned. During my latest visit, I had dessert, and the ice cream was good. I'll definitely visit again.

    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.

    Fried cheese curds and secret sauce, IPA, and kids Mac And Cheese
    Katrina N.

    My bf & I decided to eat here as he's never tried this place. And I've had a good experience from the other locations I ate at. The service was good. The lady helping us was nice & friendly. We both wanted something small. I ordered the kids Mac & cheese and he ordered the fried cheese curds. My Mac & cheese was very liquidy. All the cheese sauce was in the bottom so I had to keep mixing as I ate. Eventually if you let it sit & by the time I got to the bottom, the cheese stuck to the noodles & it was that creamy texture I was looking for. My bf took a bite of the cheese curd & wasn't impressed. He didn't get that expected "cheese pull". I took a bite & got a baby cheese pull. I noticed it wasn't as warm / hot like when you get it freshly made. As we were sitting & chit chatting, the cheese curds eventually became hard & chewy. This place has a cool ambiance, although it can get rather loud on a busy day, like when we went on Sunday as there was an outdoor market going on outside. You can grab your food from here or any of the food vendors and choose where you'd like to sit.

Crispy fries, savory gravy, melt-in-your-mouth smoked brisket, and gooey cheese curds make for the perfect combination. The portion size is generous, and the flavors are rich and comforting. The service is friendly, and the food truck's laid-back vibe adds to the experience. Stop by if you see it around... your taste buds will thank you!!

    I can only conclude that I went on an off night. I went to a concert at YouTube Theater this past…read moreweek and the poutine options were sounding great from Poutine Brothers. 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!?

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.
