Bake N Broil - Long Beach

I started with the French Onion soup. While I’ve had better, it was still satisfying on a chilly day. Looking for something savory, I decided to order the Chicken Pot Pie. However, when the dish arrived, I could tell right away that it wasn’t going to be good. The broth and crust were extremely bland, even after I added salt and pepper. There were barely any vegetables, and the chicken itself was tasteless. Since the service had been so great, I hesitated to return it, but after a couple of bites, I couldn't continue eating. I asked the waitress for another menu so I could try something else instead. At that moment, the owner, Andy, approached me quite loudly and asked, "What's wrong with it?" I was sitting at the counter, and he made such a scene that everyone turned to look. He then declared, "You’re going to pay for it!" I replied, "Fine." After sitting there feeling embarrassed and frustrated about having paid $15.38 for a very small cup of soup, I went up to him to ask why he wouldn’t issue a refund. With a flushed face, he responded, "We sell thousands of these, I’m not just going to throw it away!" Throughout the encounter, he did nothing to help me enjoy my first visit. His attitude was condescending and quite angry. I remained calm until the end when I asked for his name. In response, he asked for mine, which led me to say something I regret. I can’t definitively call him racist, but I can't help but feel that a 58-year-old white woman wouldn’t have been treated the way I was.

I absolutely adore this restaurant! It’s just as amazing now as it was in the late 80s and early 90s when I worked there as a server alongside my two sisters. There’s a reason it has endured over the years. Every item on the menu is incredibly tasty and offers fantastic value. The service is outstanding and always comes with a smile. I highly recommend checking it out!

This restaurant is amazing! I can't wait to come back. They serve fresh, homemade pies and cakes. The muffin I had was incredibly delicious, and even the butter was delightful. My breakfast was so satisfying that I saved the leftovers (there was a lot), and they tasted just as good this morning. I would love to bring my mom here. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

Imagine a cherished grandmother or aunt who is always ready with a warm, delicious meal and a freshly baked pie or cake, no matter the time of day. That’s the experience you’ll have at Bake N Broil. The food is outstanding—homemade dishes that bring about a sense of comfort and nostalgia. Although there might be times when you have to wait, it’s absolutely worth it.

This is a delightful place for breakfast. The ambiance is charming, featuring a clean, vintage vibe. The staff is extremely attentive, and the food is outstanding. I will definitely be coming back and bringing more friends along. The hash browns are larger than usual and taste amazing.
