If it's not for the big sign along Marina Drive, you would not know this place is even there. It looks like the original dining area inside is quite small, but with there outdoor it dog friendly adds quite a bit more of seating to accommodate the large crowds. Even with a large capacity, we still had a twenty minute wait which actually was not that bad because they take your phone number to text you when your table is ready, so while you're waiting, you can admire the beautiful yacht's asking the docks of the marina. As we got seated outside our table had no umbrella so it was actually hot under the sun, but when we notified then, they accommodated us with an umbrella in a speedy manner and made our breakfast very comfortable dining in the marina. For some reason, it made me think of Gilligan's Island. IYKYK.As for our food I went with the chicken fried steak breakfast and my wife went with the Pork chop country breakfast. The CFS was ok to me. They used a different style of batter which made it crispy but it was like eating a beer batteries Steak. It was just different. The sausage gravy was nice and thick but something in my meal was over salted, but I still finished it any way. My wife said the Pork chop was a bit tough and dry, but still had good flavor. I would probably come back because the service was good, the food decent, but their prices were on the high end. Average entree started at about eighteen dollars and up. The place is definitely the spot on a nice cool spring morning.

I was driving around down here yesterday, Friday, b/c I had had an appointment at the V.A. Hospital at 8:30 AM and decided to swing by for some breakfast. Usually, I'm not an early bird, but 8:30 was my appointment time, so I had to change my usual routine.I had driven by this place many times, but had never tried it. Lucky me! I noticed that all the outdoor tables were filled, so I went inside and decided on a spot at the counter. Other than quick service, this spot had the benefit of allowing me to watch the cooks prepare the food and to see that everything was CLEAN. I like that.The server was right there only seconds after I had taken my seat and she was quite pleasant. My selection, the Spinach and Mushroom Omelette, topped with sour cream and avocado with a side of hash browns and buttered toast was excellent. A tad on the high side at $18.45, but quite good and the portions were generous.

My coworkers and I came here for breakfast after night shift. I got the mess, which I think is a dish they're known for, it's essentially just a scramble. I got the half portion but it was still a decent size! It was good. We sat outside and the view of the marina was nice, especially because it was a sunny morning. It started getting busy at 9am (we came on a Sunday).

Located at the marina , parking near by . Nice location , restroom are located outside around the corner.Overall it was like any other diner , the food was just mid to me nothing out of the ordinary . I got hot chocolate as well that tasted exactly like the Swiss powder you get from the box mixed with water LOL . The waitress might have been new because she gave me sourdough instead of a biscuit for my order when in the menu it said biscuit overall not even sure if I had got double charged for the biscuit as she didn't even give us a receipt to look over just told us our total and that's it never saw an itemized receipt . Had a tummy ache later on so was fearful that she gave me the pork option of the dish . Overall good and experience was meh so do not care for coming back here :(

I was recommended by my bestfriend who was based in Long Beach as a flight attendant! She mentioned this place multiple times! We went for brunch! We pulled up and walked to the front, maybe it was just weird timing. But there wasn't anyone there. Eventually we found someone and got seated. The waitress was extremely polite and helpful! Once the sun came out they covered us all with the big umbrellas! It was very thoughtful. Over all the food was good, I wasn't crazy about the eggs Benedict, I felt the sauce was off. But my date loved the sauce & said it was definitely good. One thing I thought was super unique was that you could go up and order any drink and wait for your table it created a really laid-back chill ambience . I would like to come back and try some more food, especially lunch !

I forgot to take a picture of the food because my friend and I just finished a 10k & 15k run nearby. I got the Traditional eggs Benedict and my friend got the crab & avocado Benedict both with a side of hash browns. Mimosa were great too! We arrived on Sunday around 9:45am and didn't have to wait too long. The view was amazing! We were lucky enough to be seated by the water. As a first timer I was impressed with the staff, from being greeted, the seating, and the service.Thanks to the staff I had a great experience. Will be back again!

If you're a Long Beach local, or have out of town guests, you know that this is a must do. Located right on the water, with views of the docks and all the boats, it can't get much better than this. The wait is worth it, although even on a Saturday morning we only waited 10 minutes. The food is really tasty and fresh, the service is excellent and you won't be disappointed.

Schooner or Later is the spot my nephew wanted to try for his birthday. He is a fan of Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives so he is always on the lookout for places Guy Fieri has gone to. I'm not sure if they made reservations, but we had a long 60 minutes wait before being seated at one of their outdoor tables. They were very very very busy that Sunday morning, and we were a large party of 12.Was Schooner or Later worth the wait? To the most important person (birthday celebrant) that day, it was well worth the wait. Personally, I thought that Schooner or Later was A-Okay. I ordered the "Mess". I had high hopes for this entree because it was featured on DDD. It is a blend of chopped ham, onion & bell pepper grilled w/ hash browns & eggs and topped with melted Cheddar cheese plus it is served with sourdough toast. It tasted average to me. No "Wow" factor. It seemed to lack something. Seems strange to say that especially since it already had so many ingredients inside this concoction. Maybe it could have used more seasoning to liven it up a bit.It was nice to visit here once. Maybe I'll be back for a return visit someday. The restaurant is located in a beautiful area.

I went here today for brunch around 1:30 and it was insanely busy but we got in about 20 min. (They told us 30-40) the two people at the front didn't seem happy and didn't acknowledge me or say hi (I was the only one at the desk at the time lol)... I get that your super busy but a friendly smile or "hi be right with you" would suffice. The food was good!! we each had the two egg breakfast and shared the cinnamon roll French toast which was AMAZING. Next time I'll aim to sit outside on the patio since they are right on the water. Maybe not come on a holiday. Not sure if it's this crazy on a regular weekend day.
