Beasties - Long Beach — Restaurant in Long Beach

We got the horchata soft serve to go and it was perfect and not too sweet! As a bonus, all the staff were super warm and friendly. We'll definitely...

Dang that's a good burger. Popped in from out of town and tried the smashburger with fries. This is no ordinary smashburger - such a rich and tender burger that pairs well with a bun the holds up to it and doesn't overwhelm it. Comes with a tasty cheese dipping sauce that works as well for the fries as it does for the burger. And the fries are substantial - the fat (beef tallow) they are fried in gives them a good coating while remaining soft in the middle. Only thing I would change is adding a non-carbonated drink choice to the soda fountain (lemonade would be rec) - or I...
