Top 15 Affordable Restaurants in Long Beach, CA

Alison Bechdel My friend and I stopped by during happy hour and had a great time. Our server Lexi told us she was new, but she did amazing. Nice spot to grab a quick bite with friends or family

Tilly N. Fun, touristy spot with generous portions and plenty of shrimp dishes to choose from. The food was tasty and comforting, and the service was friendly and upbeat. The Forrest Gump theme adds to the atmosphere and makes the experience memorable. A nice place to stop by if you’re exploring the area.

Lady B An old colleague & I met for a catch up lunch. It was cold outside but warm and cozy inside Tequila Jacks. We were attended to quickly and promptly served delicious food. This wasnt my first visit there & it wont be my last.

Eric Metzendorf The service was friendly and attentive. They had a piano player with nice background music. The food was phenomenal. We had Rigatoni bolognese. The sauce was among the best weve ever had. We also had the Chilean sea bass which was prepared to perfection. Well be sure an visit again the next time were in Long Beach.

Jose Ho Friendly and attentive staff. In a 1920 well restored hotel lobby restaurant, very welcoming and cozy space inspire of the scale. Good flat white, delicious Lobster Benedict and Tuscan Benedict. Eggs were a tad overdone a e not runny. But the flavors were excellent. The kitchen might have been overwhelm since this was on NYE and the wait for a table was extensive, the kitchen extended breakfast hours well past the 11 cur off time. Cant wait to being friends for brunch.

Walter Cox This was a first for me. On a business trip to Long Beach I decided to grab dinner but everything around me closed early. As I was researching yelp I notice there was a Thai restaurant with great reviews in the middle of LB. I decided to drive there and order some food to go. When I get there I see a lot of cars and as I approach the building I noticed it was one of those industrial kitchens and not a restaurant. I decided to give them a try as I was so hungry and boy I do not regret at all. The food was fresh, service was fast and everything went well. I can’t wait to have my wife try this.

Josephine Alvarez The service was A1 from the beginning to the end. Thank you so much to our server Linda for the lovely experience. The food was amazing! Our table had the queso birria tacos, with a side of rice and beans. We also tried the Kala burrito. The aesthetic of the place is so cute! Definitely coming back next time I’m in town.

Christopher Rocca Any great dining experience is a reflection of the staff and then the food. If you’re coming here for dinner, ask for Job. He was professional, pleasant, friendly, and intimately familiar with the menu. We started with the clam chowder, lobster and shrimp taquitos and warm crab dip. The chowder was packed full of clams and absolutely fabulous. Similarly, the lobster and shrimp taquitos are an absolute must have. They were simply out of this world. For my main course, I had the Seared Hokkaido Sea Scallops, again exceeding all expectations and falling into the excellent category. I paired my scallops with the 2023 Kettmeir Pinot Grigio based on Job’s recommendations, which was an excellent choice. My wife elected to have the lavender paradise zero proof cocktail, which she found refreshing. We wrapped up the meal with the warm butter cake topped with vanilla ice cream and complimented with berries. What could be bad it was a winner. I would highly recommend if you’re in town and have the time to come here for dinner. All of the staff was fantastic but our waiter Job definitely was a stand out. The food was exceptional, and I don’t think that you will be disappointed. Lastly, we had a table overlooking the Queen Mary, but the restaurant affords panoramic views that include the city. These views would be difficult to match at other restaurant in Long Beach.

MR. GOODCAT I have to give this place a perfect score in all categories, although it’s in a humble location and it’s small they have excelled at making food and beverages taste great and satisfying. I love how they don’t have pesky waiters and the ordering process is fast casual. No pretense just great food and service. As far as pricing goes... food of this quality in a normal classy restaurant would easily cost twice as much, my wife and I will definitely be dining here again soon.

Marissa WT We had a wonderful meal for a friends 40th birthday at the Sky Room this week. Our server David was phenomenal! The atmosphere of the private room we were in surpassed our parties expectations. I had the special of short ribs which were perfectly cooked. The honey nut risotto was delicious, the flat iron steak was another favorite. From the wine to the cocktails it was a delight. I would definitely come back again on another trip to Long Beach.

Greg St Cyr Great food. Id give it 4.5 out of 5 stars. Only thing I thought was odd was that they allow service animals on the patio, but theyre not allowed to sit in your lap.

Brandi Bird Loved our server, Emma! She was wonderful, very attentive and personable. :) The overall atmosphere here is awesome! The decor is lovely. Food was delicious - the Mac & Cheetos is a MUST. Highly recommend!

Rose Jannuzzi Today was my second visit to Wood & Salt. The food and service is outstanding. All the dishes we ordered were flavorful. Always wonderful to find a hidden gem like Wood and Salt. Dog friendly on their outside patio too!

Charles Collins Everything here tastes incredible, and the service is truly exceptional. Their tacos are packed with flavor and the salsa tastes wonderfully fresh. The warm and welcoming atmosphere makes it an ideal place to enjoy a relaxed family meal or a nice evening out.

Nicole Cook Everything was tasty. Fresh, light, savory, not too sweet (from the drinks to the fench toast). I did the happy dance with almost every bite. We got a few options to split. So glad we did.
