    We stumbled across this place due to the reviews and stumbled back out due to the drinks. We had a great time, especially given that they have all at happy hours on Mondays. Food was great! We had the NY Strip and Lobster Mac N' Cheese, which were both good. I thought the meet was a lightly overcooked and the Mac N' Cheese utilized penne which wasn't my favorite kind of pasta. The Moscow Mile and the Pineapple Margarita were exquisite. What really set this place apart was the dog patio with heaters. Great staff too! Thank you for a lovely evening.

    Another meal in LB, with my brother and sister-in-law. They took me to Knolls. We shared the calimari and boom boom shrimp (my favorite of the night) . I tried the short ribs, my brother the pork chop and SIL had one of the salads with salmon. None of us had room for dessert! I also tried the blackberry sangria. While the short ribs were tender, they really didn't have much flavor and according to my brother the pork chop was okay, but nothing special. I like the vibe of the place and there were other things on the menu I'd like to try so I'd go back.

    Finally came down to this bar for happy hour and it did not disappoint!! Ambiance: 10/10 This is definitely a modern and very sleek looking place! I love the decor and the full bar. Decent amount of TVs and they play sports and MMA so I can’t complain. Lots of seating, which is great for Bixby knolls area, and very clean. A bit dark but they seem to have lighting in the right areas to ensure you can decently see. Service: 10/10 Everyone was so nice, knowledgeable of the menu and gave amazing service. No complaints at all and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Food: 10/10 I ordered their popular Boom Boom shrimp and fried zucchini, both were just perfect. The shrimp was tasty and cooked perfectly. The zucchini was also cooked to perfection with a crunchy coating, and did not lack in the flavor! Their ranch is very good and their chipotle mayo is the only one I’ve ever tried that actually has a kick, and I loved it. I am definitely coming back again, happy hour has lots of options!

    I’ve been coming here since it was known as Weilands. I would say the quality of the food and drinks are still as good as I remember. Went in for brunch with babe, we shared a veggie omelette, fried calamari which was very good and a guava mimosa. Food was delicious, service was great. No complaints.

    I like the Atmosphere of the restaurant. The food was awesome. It's a cute place for family dinner, happy hour, a date and for individual eating. Shout out to the waiter named Josh he was awesome a very attentive to his customers. I highly recommend this location it was clean and comfortable.

    Showed up for dinner, roughly 6pm just in time for their drink specials. My spouse and I started with some delicious fried zucchini, BlackBerry Margarita and Moscow Mule. For our main course I had the Chicken Piccata and my spouse had the Steak Diane. Our server was Coby, he was insanely attentive, helpful, and allowed us to enjoy our meal and checked in on us at the most opportune times. They had the retractable glass wall open so we had a nice breeze coming in. The candles at our table really set the vibe. The noise level varies , but honestly, it just feels good to be here.

    First time, but definitely not the last. Great atmosphere. A bar with multiple TVs for sports. Seemed to have a pretty good selection of alcohol. Food was fantastic. Loved the Boom Boom Shrimp and the Sourdough Pastrami. Will definitely be returning to try other items on the menu.

    Used to love this place now I don't go, Because they have gotten cheap with the portion of meat in the burgers. I've talked to the manager and he confirmed that the meat is supposed to be 2 fingers thick. And now they're make them one finger thick or less.😡 I have brought this up multiple times to the workers and the manager. Manager said that he will make sure it's taking care of but nothing has changed except the prices are more Expensive... I used to brag about this place. How good the food was and how good the portions were... Love this place, It has a lot of potential to be a very hot spot, Hopefully they make the corrections maybe add some more new things to the menu... Other than that is a cool place to kick back and relax. Will update my review once I see restaurant has made improvements. 🫣🫣🫣 P/s Wish I could upload the picture but I don't know how

    Staff is great, such friendly service. Sydney took great care of me on my birthday. Love the atmosphere. However, the food could have been better. The menu is large and should have stuck to the bar food it looks like they thrive in. Got the Filet Mignon, which didn't even appear to be Filet Mignon but a thin filet that was way overcooked. It came with a peppercorn reduction, which was really just a salty gravy. The shrimp Alfredo pasta was a massive serving of pasta with just a few shrimp. Maybe it was a Sunday night cook not sure as it was the first time we visited.

    Knolls is our go-to neighborhood restaurant. They serve a wide variety of food and drinks. I am particularly fond of their fried zucchini appetizer, their sliders, burgers and other sandwiches, and the many pasta dishes. They have a bunch of beers that I have tried out. They have happy hours. It's a very family friendly restaurant and during the warmer months you can get outdoor seating (dog friendly). They have several vegetarian options.

    My dish was good, my wife's dish was terrible (she had the Buffalo chicken), my salad was delivered after my meal was served so I had to send it back. Service was inexperienced and very slow.

    Such a unique place to visit! Worth the trip for the food, atmosphere and service. Love their onion soup!!!

  • 3/5 Michelle L. 1 year ago on Google
    It's just too expensive. Food and service was great. The drinks were overly priced for what it's worth. The spicy cantaloupe martini was pretty good, but it tastes more like a spicy jolly rancher. The best food were the fried calamari, fried zucchini, classic BLT, and the philly steak.

  • 4/5 Krystine R. 1 year ago on Google
    First time here. What a jem. Attentive and super friendly team. Cantaloupe Martini!!! Amazing salads. Great place to have lunch /dinner and catch up with friends, watch a game or dare night.

    Had dinner with friends last night at Knolls. The menu and appetizers were good. The service was rather slow and at times wondered if waitress had forgotten us. The beer was WARM too warm

  • 4/5 Bishop R. 4 years ago on Google
    Pretty great spot. Great beer selection. Good amount of tv’s. Outdoor seating is exceptional pending on weather. Customer service is always good too. Will definitely come back. The only thing i don’t like is the “burger” choice. Price varies on the meat you choose, you only get a couple toppings, and of those toppings cheese is included(a sham) along with bbq sauce. So I probably would never get a burger but hey the rest of the menu is good enough for them to keep their 4 stars but yea. In my pictures I got a seared ahi sandwich which was pretty good, has a wasabi mayo sauce that I don’t recommend but after i changed the sauce it was really good. Also pictured is a chicken and Brie sandwich and their wings. It’s always good to know what the wings look like before you order.

    Seating outside was nice, weather was great! The music on the side we were on was a bit loud for good conversation, we didn’t mind though. The staff was very nice and the food was delicious! Hubby had the club sandwich, it was huge, he said it was really good. I got the seared ahi with mashed potatoes and veggies, it was delicious!

    Me and my Bestfriend met up here for dinner on Wednesday and the service was great, calamari and garlic fries on point! I've been to this spot before but my last visit was wonderful. I'll be back for happy hour again

    First time back in Long Beach for work since 2018. Knolls was highly recommended by my AirBnB owner. The suggestion did NOT disappoint. Beautiful, relaxed, efficient service. Excellent libations. And do NOT miss the Boom Boom Shrimp. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Signed, Epstein’s Mother

  • 4/5 Camilla J. 2 years ago on Google
    They were actually very nice. The restaurant itself has a nice look to it, I would definitely go this place again. I didn't give it a full 5 stars because of how long they took with our orders. I mean we literally had to keep asking what was the hold up with our meals. IDK maybe they were short on staff, whatever the case may be no one should have to wait that long for a meal at a restaurant. We literally waited a whole hour to get our food, at one point we were even considering leaving because we were hungry and they just were taking too long. Other than that the overall restaurant in itself isn't so bad and I don't want to even penalize them for taking so long with our orders. Only because I don't believe it is an all the time problem, I believe it was just a bad night for them. But that is all

    My brother and I stopped in for lunch on a Friday. Parking on the street is limited, but there is free parking behind the restaurant. The atmosphere inside is dark and modern with a mix of tables and booths and a well stocked bar with plenty of top shelf liquors and even more craft beers. I'll have to explore these options on a subsequent visit. Now the food. The menu is very heavy on burgers, sandwiches and salads. The entrees consist of all good choices; pastas, seafood, pork, beef and chicken dishes. Enough choices to please just about everyone. On this visit I tried the Slow Roasted Pork and Ham Cuban sandwich and it was delish! The roasted pork was tender and flavorful, the ham slices were browned and covered in melted Swiss cheese, all served with a good bold mustard and crunchy pickles on a Brioche bun. For my side I chose garlic fries and they were equally spectacular; unlike other places soggy fries that are just coated in garlic flavored oil, these were seasoned, battered, crispy and sprinkled with minced garlic and not greasy at all. In a word, divine, but the show stopper was the desert. Sorry that I didn't snap a pic of the chocolate cake. It was tall, dark and spectacularly delicious. If this cake was any more chocolatey it would have been a solid slice of chocolate! Its many layers were moist and perfectly sweet without being too sweet. I would come back for the chocolate cake alone, but the food is also worthy of a return trip and rest assured I will be back.
