    Great food! We've passed this place all the time and would see them on dine out Long Beach but never tried them. The breakfast food was very good, eggs, potatoes, and pancakes were cooked well and tasty. They don't really have a bar here, what they do have are wine based cocktails so if you're in the mood for brunch with drinks it works but isn't best. We went here and went somewhere else for drinks after and it worked out great.

    Their canopy patio is the best! But you may also be seated inside. Great place for breakfast or brunch. We recommend their "Monte Cristo" which we shared. We asked for an extra plate and was lovingly split into two half orders. Great food & great service!!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

    Quick, friendly, and helpful service. Was seated quickly and got our food and drinks promptly, too. Food portions were generous and tasted really good. Atmosphere is energetic and local. Would recommend.

    We had a wonderful dinner - the duck chili is amazing! - and exceptional service. We also had the Icelandic cod tacos, mango ribs, steak, and appetiser plates. The Happy Hour drinks are a bargain. We highly recommend the Crooked Duck!

    Excellent food and service. Definitely a great place for upscale casual meal with family or friends!

    I was lucky enough to be greeted by the owner when I walked in and I felt very welcomed! The food is outstanding! The corned beef and hash was the best I've ever had. They offer delicious daily specials and refreshing mimosas as well. Definitely coming back to this spot and if you want great American breakfast, this place is a must!

  • 5/5 Bambie T. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was good & the establishment was nice. The corner its on is adorable and the little houses across the street were lovely. We came at a time of day when there was no waiting to be seated which is great for me because I am disabled and can't stand up & wait. The food arrived at our table really fast & our waitress Mary was very cheerful and attentive. My only criticism is the rest of the wait staff were talking nonstop to each other & I didn't come there to have to endure that. It was unprofessional and our waitress was trying to do her job but her coworkers kept stalling her, trying to involve her in their conversation. She was able to politely disengage herself and carry out her duties. She was a true professional. 👍

    GO FOR THE CHICKEN WONTON NACHOS! Love the Bloody Mary’s with blue cheese and the Yokohama sesame chicken wonton nachos, they are addictive! Service is excellent, staff is well trained and friendly…met owner, very personable and present.

    We had the chile Verde omelet and ham steak an eggs. Both were fantastic. The bloody mary and Hibiscus mimosa really hit the spot. Prices are reasonable for California. The service was very good. Highly recommend this place.

    Great breakfast. There was no wait for a table on a Saturday morning, so that was great. Everything was delicious.

  • 5/5 Jo Says H. 4 months ago on Google
    I've passed this place so many times bit finally tried it the other day and my goodness I've been missing out! The Eggnog latte was a great way to start before diving into the Atlantis Space Melt. The sweetness of the coleslaw and three earthiness of rye bread had me food happy dancing.

  • 3/5 JD Roland F. 10 months ago on Google
    Tiny but very quaint restaurant that has leafy potential. Good food. Good atmosphere. Service was awful. Prices exorbitant. Did not give me a Veteran discount. Must be middle to upper middle class to eat here with prices like their's. In a nice area, though. Not enough parking spaces. Had to park across PCH on a neighborhood street. Needs relocating somewhere down at the Marina area, next to San Pedro Crab Pot and give em hell for patrons. Yes, this place has potential.

    The food here was amazing. My date and I shared a Cobb Salad and a Caprese sandwich. The portions were pretty big, and the food was delicious. The only issue I had was that our waitress literally forgot EVERYTHING, more than once. I believe the restaurant closes at 2 pm. We had arrived and were seated before 1. The restaurant was still a little busy, but I definitely had the feeling that the lunch rush had passed. I understand we all have our off days, and know from firsthand experience that waiting tables can be challenging. I hope the young lady had a better day with her other tables, because she was pretty bad for us. I will go back again though, the food is just that good!

    It’s really cute, the owner (or at least I believe he was probably the owner) is super nice and attentive. The food is just like, almost good. I got this Monte Cristo, which was heavily deep fried and a little too heavy. My husband got a turkey sandwich that had coleslaw on it, and the coleslaw was just a little too sweet for my taste. Idk, overall it was still good but just slightly different than expected I guess lol. I’d still definitely go back! Cute spot.

    My friend and I shared the salmon Eggs Benedict and they were nice enough to split it for us. The food was delicious and service was great. Parking is a struggle so arrive early if you plan on meeting friends. Pay attention to street sweeping signs.

  • 5/5 David M. 1 year ago on Google
    This restaurant opens at 8 AM until 3 PM specializing in breakfast and lunches with a vast selection of comfort food, the bloody Mary’s is a must one of the best in town along with their champagne, mimosas good food and friendly staff.

  • 3/5 Scott 1 year ago on Google
    First time I ate here (about 6 months ago) it was easily 4.5 stars. Food was fantastic and the service was excellent. This time, I gave it 2 tries (lunch and then breakfast the next day) just to make sure they didn't just have an off day. Both meals were mediocre at best and the service for lunch was really bad. I'll grant that they were busy, but not that busy. My friend had to ask 6 times for a refill on his soft drink and the girl still had to ask him each time to repeat what he wanted while she turned around, got distracted and then he had to ask her again.

    Came here for happy hour with a friend and had A BLAST! The Argentinian waiter is super fun and helpful. The food was yum and quite at a good price (for San Francisco standards)! However they advertised happy hour special at 8$ for one food item and a glass a wine and ended up charging 12$ (which wasn't mentioned anywhere) so not to cool for that! When we pointed it out, the waitress looked like she knew exactly what we were talking about!

  • 5/5 Kurt S. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious food and the best server I've had in a very long time. Ashley knew her job knew what the food was and just gave it such a personal experience

  • 5/5 Stephie J. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food, as always! I prefer the outdoor seating, as you get a view of PCH and a good breeze. They get pretty busy, so you might not see your server for awhile. But when they do come, they have a great demeanor and take care of you+

  • 5/5 Christina T. 1 year ago on Google
    The Will's Monte Cristo was excellent and unique. It's essentially a meat and cheese sandwich deep fried and dusted with powder sugar. It comes with preserves and syrup. Trust me, it all goes together perfectly. I would definitely come back. The clam chowder was also so delicious. My family all loved their food as well. We will definitely return to this restaurant. The only part that sucked was the parking here as it was limited.

  • 5/5 Ramon A. 1 year ago on Google
    Good Bloody Mary and nice Sunday Morning Atmosphere. Recommend to anyone wanting to try a new spot. And they have Duck Chili Omelet

  • 5/5 Jamie B. 1 year ago on Google
    In town visiting some friends and they insisted on taking us to their favorite breakfast spot. I’m so glad that they did. So many yummy options to choose from. Everyone enjoyed their breakfast. Looking forward to our next visit. Also the coffee was delicious!
