George's 50's Diner

A great little retro diner down in Long Beach. I am working through a list of all diners in LA County and next up on my list was George's. It's a classic Los Angeles throwback diner, which I personally love. They don't have outside seating, but they have plenty of tables inside as well as counter seating. Our server was also extremely polite and everything that we ordered came out as requested and quickly. They have a large parking lot attached with plenty of free spaces so parking will never be an issue.For my first visit I chose the Hamburger Steak & Eggs and really enjoyed all of it. The eggs were cooked exactly as I requested, and the steak was done perfectly. It had a lot of flavor and the portion size was very generous. The coffee was strong and the price was fair so I would definitely recommend to any diner fan or to anyone searching for a great casual spot for breakfast or lunch.

I came here because A Cinderella story. I love that they have their own parking lot which is hard to find in Long Beach. It definitely give 50 vibes. I do wish they had a gift shop section or a movie wall.The owners were super nice and friendly. They were really open to recommendations. I wish they had vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options. My friend wasn't able to eat any food. I got the 2 pancake platter. It was simple. The pancake needs to be more fluffy. It's like pancakes you can make at home.

Have pass by for many years and always have been wanting to try. Well today we finally did. It was ok in my opinion. Whenever in the area we might stop by again. My only negative was that they don't have real butter. So maybe o won't be back lol.

So I have passed by this place so many times and it always looks closed so I never stop. We were in the area and starving, so after driving around we decided to make a stop since we saw it was open. The location is right on the corner in Bixby Knolls. The restaurant is like an old fashioned diner. They recently had some renovations done so it was great to see that it was open again. The atmosphere definitely gives off that 50s car hop vibe. I wish there was a bit more decor to set the scene. Our waitress was nice and took our order. Our food came out pretty quick which was a plus. I ended up ordering the biscuits and gravy with a side order of sausage. Everything tasted yummy. A few of the other items on the menu caught my eye so hopefully when we are in the area and trying to find somewhere to eat, we will stop here again. I heard the shakes are a hit and must try-so I will def be back.

The service is okay the waitress only attended us to seat us, serve our food, then the bill. She did not ask in between if we needed more water or refills or napkins. Which I guess wasn't bad but I wanted more water. I ordered chili cheese fries, and a bowl of chili. Not served as pictured (which is what you expect) and honestly not that great at all and she seemed bothered I wanted sour cream on the side. Made me feel sick. My son usually eats all his burger and fries mind you the burger is only meat and bun we asked for cheese he did not like it. My husband ordered a bacon cheeseburger with bbq instead of sauce, they put the sauce and bbq, it was gross. They don't have real salsa served with the chilaquiles which was disappointing tasted like Tostitos. We will not be coming back. 2 stars because the diner at least looked cute and the hot chocolate was good.

Been wanting to try this place since moving to the area a few years ago. It's very clean, with ample table and booth seating, nice pictures of old celebrities along the walls, as well as a few pictures of movie shoots that have taken place there. I found the place exceptionally clean, practically could eat off the floor, and everything looked brand new, like a time capsule. I had a full "Tornado" (an egg scramble with ham, onion, tomato, mushroom, 2 kind of cheese, home fries and perhaps some other stuff), a humungous plate of food. Tasted pretty fresh but lacked seasoning, almost no salt to speak of (perhaps for the older folks who are watching their sodium?) Fortunately with some ketchup and hot sauce, it tasted quite good, and I was totally surprised that I finished this massive serving, which came with a pancake (on the thin side and well-browned, with a slightly crispy 'crust'). We also got an 57 New Yorker Omelet with hashbrowns...enjoyed the omelet, while it was on the thin and slightly dry-cooked side, also very low salt...perhaps good to add your own, but as-is was underseasoned. On the upside, everything was served hot and fresh, and our server was very warm and attentive. Also ordered a club sandwich on wheat to take home. It was fresh, although a little underwhelming in the flavor department, and it was griddled a little dark, and fries were a little pale. Very nice place, food was pretty good, and a nice place to come to visit. Will have to come back and try some other things!

I know I probably shouldn't have had such high hopes, but this is truly diner food with diner service. My "sirloin steak" did NOT come out at a med-rare temp but well done (idk why they bothered asking what temp I wanted my steak cooked) The steak was extremely small and thin with 3 eggs, choice of toast, and home fries for $18.95. I was never offered a refill on my coffee till my meal was completely finished. Just un-impressed with service and food.

If you're only looking for a simple and quiet place that serves decent breakfast with friendly staff, this is the place. Dined here many times and always had a pleasant experience. There's only one but....The establishment is old but refurbished/remodeled with new management but needs a new exhaust system.

Friendly and good service however the food was meh. Biscuits and gravy lacked flavor. Bathroom was filthy. I would pass on this place.

What can I say? The service was fantastic, with kind, bilingual staff, delicious everything, and super clean! I ordered an omelette with bacon, jalapeños and cheese, and it came out in literally 5 minutes! The atmosphere was warm and friendly, with an authentic diner feel. I liked the car models above the bar too :)
