We were seated in the bar area which I didn't care for. The booth was too tight. The service was excellent and the food was really good. My disappointment would be it didn't look like the BA of the 80's and I didn't expect it to, but it looked like a glorified Chili's. I can't call this a steak house but there was nothing wrong with it either.

☹️ Nothing to rave about ⚠️ A mediocre steakhouse in Long Beach,CA. After reading lots of reviews we decided to visit this place for dinner. Most of the staff we interacted with were friendly. The place has very large dining rooms. This place has old time vibe. Our table was not cleaned properly and the menu was kind of dirty as well. We ordered 3 stakes. But sadly our Rib eye steaks came filled with black char on outside. I could only take couple of bites. The char taste was so over whelming. My family was struggling to cut stakes. The quality of the stakes were so poor and had no flavor. I returned my steak back. The other 2 stakes were half way finished. The mashed potatoes came with the entree were cold. But what I really like about experience was the attitude and professionalism of the manager. The manager Alina ( I hope I spelled her name correctly) came by and listened to us and apologized profusely. She took care of the bill and was asking us to order something else free of charge. But we didn’t. I forgot to take pictures of the stakes.☹️😕 We made sure to tip the waitress generously. I personally won’t go back here again or recommend anyone to go here.

Visited on a Friday night for dinner, I was expecting a long wait time, not at all ...10-15 minute wait for 2...that's pretty smooth and quick. I quickly figured out why, I entered and realized that the bar area is big and the dining area is open large and spacious with many tables and booths everywhere. The noise level during dinner was calm, nowhere near noisy. I ordered fried garlic zucchini 🥒, full rack of baby back ribs🍖, and grilled shrimp🍤 all along with steak soup🍲, fries🍟, red skinned smash potatoes🥔 and broccoli 🥦 For dessert I got the Sky High Mud Pie, a pie of ice cream along with nuts and chocolate. The fried zucchini were enjoyable, not overly fried, fresh and the dipping sauce was delicious. The baby back ribs were tender delicious and meaty...rich in flavor and fulfilling. The grilled shrimp were nicely seasoned, and flavorful along with its butter sauce. The redskin smash potatoes with butter simply delicious almost to die for. The broccoli was good but not enough of it, same with fries....limited portions. The steak soup🍲 is unpopular, but tremendously delicious and savory. The mud pie dessert was fulfilling and for ice cream lovers. Overall a good dining experience, The service was attentive, friendly and efficient.

Went here on date night with wife. It was Friday night. We walked right into a table at the bar area. Our server approached us within a reasonable amount of time. She was friendly, took our drink order. Came back with drinks and asked if we had any questions about the menu. She took our order. Bread & butter came out right away, then the appetizer, salad, and soup. Food came out after nice and hot. My wife's salmon was perfect, and so was my New York steak. Everything was great and cooked perfectly. I must say this location has really upgraded in every way in the last couple years. We loved our date night here!

Came in for lunch with my mom and sister. I ordered the half rack baby back ribs. The food was good and our server Hailey was excellent.

Solid food, cute dinnerware, fun cabin feel. The server was friendly and attentive. Only knocking down one star because the women's restroom had plumbing issues and the hostess said there were no other options to be able to use the facilities and told me to go across to another restaurant; fortunately another front of the house staff said he would watch the men's restroom for me while I went in.
