I usually have the deep fried shrimp but saw someone else's 5 Star rating on the batter dipped fried shrimp tacos, and WOW!!! Three delicious prawn tacos, so far only place I've found that does the batter dipped fried prawn tacos since having them when I visited my parents in Yuma, AZ & we would go to Los Algodones, Mexico. They were the greatest, along with the little serving of chips & salsa, even the water was crystal clear with no chlorine taste. Only one waitress plus a guy helping with everything, ran the whole floor and was very responsive to everyone, even checked on me for more water. The ambience was nothing exciting, but everything including restroom were clean, would have been a 3 to 4 star except the shrimp tacos blew it out of the water, will definitely be back again...

Had to wait to be seated and then told to pick a table. We prefer a slice of lemon in our water and had to remind the server. We ordered both a 1-piece and a 2-piece halibut and chips with a cup of chowder. The fish & chips came out quickly. Nice and hot. The slaw is more like a carrot and cabbage salad with a slight Mexican flavor accent. I believe portions are out of balance as there was way more slaw than fish on both platters. The chowder was thick and creamy and clam forward in flavor. A good mix of celery potato and clam. If there had not been oyster crackers I would say it needed more veg & clams to give texture to the chowder base. The fish was battered and came out hot and crispy. The portions were disappointingly small with a big price. The tarter was very chunky so not great for dipping. Overall, it was good food but I don't think I would go back.

We needed water for one more day and a desert This is a crowded beach market , 8 minutes from Long Beach. Same Road. No public bathrooms.. The Bottle water Section is tiny, the liquor section is the entire front wall . And since i don't drink , i think it's funny. Free parking in front, with baskets, but the aisles are so narrow two carts have to maneuver to get by.

Mom and i had the salad with ours and they both got the clam chowder. I will say that the guys loved their fish and chips and chowder.

The seafood didnt seem cooked all that great. It was disappointing. The fries and garlic texas toast were great though. One thing of note that was great is that they brought the salad and platter out split for us which was really nice. Most places wont do that for you, so i extra appreciated it.

The Depot has always been one of our favorite places for special occasions on the Long Beach…read morePeninsula. We own a house in Long Beach, and during the time we lived there full-time, this was our go-to spot for anniversaries and my husband's birthdays. It exudes that cozy, historic Seaview charm that invites you to relax and linger...warm, intimate, and full of character without being over the top. A true small-town and now not so hidden gem. My husband is a fan of their Old Fashioneds, particularly those with a smoked maple twist, and he often gravitates back to the slow-braised pork. Their current Southern Comfort Pork dish is just his style: slow-braised pork shoulder served over brown sugar yam mash with jalapeño creamed corn, green onion, and maple-bacon salsa. That's comfort food crafted with real culinary skill. As someone who follows a plant-based diet, I truly appreciate how The Depot makes an effort to accommodate vegetarian and vegan diners in a way that feels genuine rather than forced. Last winter, I was thrilled to discover the ginger-coconut soba noodles, they were flavorful, satisfying, and perfectly balanced. Their current mika soba noodles with garlic-ginger coconut cream, vegetables, toasted cashews, and cilantro are exactly the kind of dish I'm thankful to find on a Peninsula menu. I also have fond memories of Burger Wednesdays from our time on the Peninsula. It's incredible how satisfying a customized portobello burger can be when a kitchen understands texture and seasoning especially in a place where plant-based options can still be scarce. The food is fantastic, but the service deserves a special mention. While Peninsula restaurants are known for their good service, The Depot's service is exceptional: polished, friendly, warm, and just the right amount of attentive. Although we now reside in California, we plan to make another reservation when we return to the Long Beach Peninsula in July. I'm already looking forward to their summer menu. Note: I've forgotten to take photos so the ones on this review are from the restaurants social media - definitely a reflection of our last meal at The Depot without the drinks.

The host told us the wait would be 20-30 mins, so we put our names in and kept walking, exploring the street until it was time to return. They're pretty quick bussing tables to turn over guests in order to seat new ones. The waitress took our order fairly quickly and we sat back, listen to the live musician and waited for the food. The price was higher than we'd like, but honestly it was about the same as every other restaurant in the town. The food came in a timely manner and was good. Restrooms were also clean and tended too, even with this large of a crowd. This is going to be one of the local restaurants we want to return to in the future. I kind of understand why they're so busy now!

Update: 04/08/26…read more Well, we got drawn back to the 42nd Street Cafe after a couple other locals posted on Facebook that the 42nd Street Cafe is 'just simply the best restaurant on the peninsula.' We knew better, but we were desperate... it was a Wednesday and the Seaview Biscuit Co was closed. So we arrived for breakfast at 42nd Street. We waited 10 minutes for a table... then 12 more minutes for someone to take our order. We honestly had been looking at a menu while we waited to be seated; we knew what we wanted. Every item we ordered could be best described as 'bland'. Thankfully, they had salt on the table. $5 for a soft drink. No joke. They had one server running the room, which has about 10-12 tables. Same person taking orders, running food and processing payments. Two of our party members were in a hurry to get on the road to Sea-Tac, or else we would have left before ordering. I wish we had! This seals the deal for us on 42nd Street Cafe and Bistro - no need to return.
