George’s Greek Cafe – Long Beach, CA (Pine Ave)
George’s Greek Cafe is by far my favorite “everyday” restaurant in Long Beach. If you go for dinner, you are likely greeted by George himself at the flagship downtown Pine location. They have opened several other restaurants in the past few years as well in Belmont Shore and soon to be Lakewood.
The food is fun, fresh and tasty. The fact that my good friend who is Greek approves of the food speaks volumes. The downtown Pine location also boasts plentiful outdoor seating, nightly live Greek music, and Belly Dancers. It truly is more of an experience that just going out for food.
You must get the flaming cheese (in Brandy) as an appetizer. The Lamb Chops are one of their signature items – marinated in Greek spices and so tender they melt in your mouth. Only available on Friday nights, the Kleftico is also highly recommended. If you’re looking to have a taste of just about everything on the menu, try the Family Style option (however you will need at least 6 people in the group). My lunch favorite is the chicken Souvlaki (kabos). All meals come with a fresh Greek salad.
For the quality of the food, it is one of the best values in Long Beach.
