Bushfire Kitchen - Long Beach - (Near Long Beach, CA)

3 /5 Tait Lifto: Disappointed. Expected better from pics and high rating but poor execution on reheated food will mark this my first and last visit to any of their locations. Overcooked chicken is a no-no anywhere. But a place that came up on my search as a gastropub? Yikes! Even worse, it wasn’t even fresh! If they had overcooked my chicken fresh, it would’ve been hot. But this was pre-overcooked then heated up to lukewarm before being given to me. I believe that is the case because the alternative is worse. Sad. Quick aside: maybe they cooked my chicken fresh and over cooked it then still served it to me lukewarm. It’s possible. That would be just as disturbing, I just went with my gut reaction above. Bbq sauce was cheap but tangy - maybe to cover up inability to properly cook chicken? By “cheap”, you can taste the quality of the ingredients easily and tell it’s just so-so sauce but it helped me get through the chewy chicken so I’ll give it a pass The squash was good - nice temp, softness and flavor. Mixed veggies looked like they came out of a bag and were not hot plus had inconsistent crunchiness to individual veggies that made me wonder what that mess was so I left it alone after a quick bite. The bread was fine but definitely unremarkable. And then the bar fly that wouldn’t leave me alone - I’m at a table far from the bar where you see these critters most often (hence the name) so seeing one at my table makes me believe they don’t clean well. Sad there was only counter service - I felt the website led me to believe there was bar seating but whatever. The tables were fine, bar fly not fine, numbered signs should be replaced - they are worn out and made improperly to hold up to regular use. My server, Michael, was a delight - he didn’t know much about the beer but he was polite, seemed to genuinely care, and very friendly. If you do visit, I hope you get to experience him and his easy smile - he was the best part of my visit! I won’t be back but at least I tried :)

5 /5 Russ Lacuata: Second visit at Bushfire Kitchen on PCH. The food was delicious. Good quality. They have a variety of options for different diets and food preferences. We ordered the Gaucho steak sandwich, Bushfire Burger, BBQ Tri Tip and Power Greens. The chimichurri sauce on the sandwich was excellent.

3 /5 Billy Taylor: For this new gym in Hollywood, its not bad. I think it will only get better with time. I went maybe within the first week of opening and I enjoyed the food, but I just know over time theyll get better. Theyll work out the kink so I just have nothing but the best intentions for this place, especially in the future

5 /5 Cyle Chapman: One of Long Beachs hidden gems. The service was excellent from the moment we walked in the door until we left. They took the time to explain the menu to us, as we were first-timers. The food was just as good as the service. All in all, 5 stars.

5 /5 MARICEL ESPERANZA: The food and service was great! We had the Tuscan Chicken Sandwich, the American Burger, side order of fries, and a chocolate chip cookie. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The portions were also good! The general manager, Mario, and his staff made sure that we had everything we needed and that our food was to our liking. The atmosphere is clean, casual, and welcoming. What we liked the most about this restaurant is that they have a great menu with options for everyone. We will definitely be back to try some more things.
