EJ's Pub - Bixby Knolls — Restaurant in Long Beach

The food was great, fresh and hot, great tasting. Unfortunately the service was not. Like others have mentioned, had to seat yourself, wait over ten minutes to get noticed (get your own menus). Now to be fair other employees did notice us a little faster, but they apparently do not work as a team, and could not help us, even with water (or a check in the end). Once the proper waitress was done flirting with her friends and slammed thru the rest of her tables, we got helped. Food and drinks appeared relatively quick after. The food was good and the (craft) beer selection was pretty good as well (though the printed details were not accurate, including for a Hawthorne brewery in the town right next door). We are not very needy (but it would have been nice to get a second round, good think we got water, or we might have been eating without drinks), so the meal went well. But back in the same search to find our waitress when it came to paying the check (then she spent another 10 minutes trying to find the POS / credit card device).

In the end, was 8p on a Friday night, but it was not full by any means. It was loud, but it’s a sports bar, you expect that “atmosphere”. The food and drink selections were good, but service needs lots of work (maybe this specific waitress) at a minimum they can work as a team, if they did some of these issues may not be...

EJ's is a great place for lunch or dinner and even better for a mid evening bite. Because it's in Bixby Knolls, EJ's isn't open late, but with the side street turned into a well lit and cozy seating area, you can still talk into the lat evening (EJ's will deliver to the public area too, just call). Of the 4 times I've been, I haven't had a bad meal with the quality and presentation being consistent each time. The Reuben is great, the fish and chips are tasty and cooked perfect, the French Dip was good tasting but the au jus was overly salty which was disappointing to the wife and I. The burgers are cooked perfect to taste and the meat tastes high quality, coupled with some fries and the garganzola cheese sauce is a great feel good combo for the burger enthusiast. Their beer selection is solid having a mixed variety of around 20 taps you will be able to find a variety you like. The bar has a good variety of middle and top shelf liquors and the tenders know their craft for all the bar standards. EJ's is the neighborhood bar you want in your neighborhood with good food, a smart and friendly staff, and the drinks to go along with the inviting...

This is a great place. Service at all EJ Malloys has always been good. We loved the Broadway location went there for years but they closed. We then moved over to the Bixby Knolls location and they closed. Always loving their halibut fish n chips. Another couple with us would visit religiously 4 times a year. Since the pandemic we haven't visited and just went back to our favorite place for our orders of halibut fish n chips. IT IS NO LONHER ON THE MENU!! They still have the cod fish n chips like every other restaurant in town but no longer the halibut fish n chips. I think there are many people that are disappointed in the missing halibut fish n chips. To get the cod fish n chips like they have you can go almost anywhere; Lazy dog, BJs, Hoffs Hut, even Dennys. Sorry to see this happen. Used to drive from Torrance to get this special dish. Most likely without the halibut fish n chips I'll just have the non special fish n chips with a local restaurant. I really do hope EJs Pub changes this in the future. The service has always and continues to...
