I've been meaning to get to our local site for some time now. For work, I am knowledgeable about the Long Beach location. HUGE menu, plenty of great things to choose from. I am coming back for the breakfast items! Everything looks delicious! I stopped in for lunch with my wife. Staff is very warm and welcoming. Plenty of seating, even when it is busy. Great place to catch a meal, centrally located in Ventura and Freeway/Beach close. Make this your next stop.

Delicious food and impeccable service. I had the "little less" meal that included meat loaf . It was exceptional. Manny, Supervisor, handled our group in the back "group room" perfectly. We were all attended to in a timely manner and the food was delivered hot and fresh by the assigned waiters. They were also so accommodating. It was so good, we returned Friday for lunch! If you are looking for a great home style meal (trust me you'll be taking leftovers home) with gold star service, head on over to Black Diner in Vent... read more

My wife tried out this place and the food was excellent. We were disappointed in the service snd the music was loud enough it was hard to hold a conversation. We had not planned on returning, but the food brought us back. This time we met Manny and he provided such friendly and professional service, we had a far better experience and the music was at a decent level. We plan on returning in the future only because Manny changed our mind about the place. 

Business response:

We appreciate your feedback, Brent. We're glad Manny was able to provide you with excellent service during your visit. We will address the issues with the loud music and strive to create a better dining experience for all our customers. Thank you for giving us another chance, and we look forward to serving you again in the future.

Such good people working here and the place is so clean! I couldn't wait to try the food because I've eaten at this chain of restaurants in other states, I was prepared to have some delicious comfort food and I wasn't disappointed at all. The food was amazing! They hit a home run right through my heart! I was enjoying the ambience, the laughter, the food and all the staff here. Manny is one of the absolute best waiters you'll ever meet. Or, is he supervisor or assistant manager? I'm not sure! But he's awesome! I wa... read more

Waiter definitely needs more training. Rude, never checked on my meal, meal wasn't what I ordered. I would not recommend if you have places to be and don't trust returning what was delivered.

Service: not crowded, but no one brought coffee/water for 15 minutes- sat waiting. Food oily. Just disappointed.
