Reviews
Retro Row is a unique vibe—think the hipsters of Silver Lake meeting the locals of Abbott Kinney in Venice. It’s cool, it’s local, and it’s full of energy.
What We Ordered:
The incredible Beef Brisket Nachos
A crisp Chardonnay
Our first ever (and surprisingly delicious) Matcha Beer
This place is undeniably hip. Pro-tip: The best view and experience are always found at the bar!
From the moment we walked in, the service was terrible. The girl at the front was visibly rude, giving us angry looks, and when our server came over, he spoke so fast it was impossible to understand what he was saying. We thought we ordered clearly, but what came out was completely different—my son got just two chicken tenders, my mom got a mac and cheese, and the “best burger in Long Beach” (as advertised on the menu) turned out to be one of the worst burgers I’ve ever had. It tasted like a frozen patty, was completely flavorless, and I couldn’t even finish it.
The tenders were somehow even worse—so bad that the aftertaste lingered in my mouth long after trying them. My son urged me to taste one, and that was the final straw. I refused to pay for them, and instead of handling it professionally, the server got upset and said he would only charge us for the beers. In the end, we still ended up paying $35 for what was honestly one of the worst meals I can remember ever having.
On top of that, the place was swarming with flies, which made the entire meal even more unpleasant.
Overall, the food was inedible, the service was rude and chaotic, and the environment was unhygienic. I would absolutely not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

The menu isn’t so vast so you aren’t overwhelmed with choices, but I still asked the bartender for his recommendation and I’m so glad I did! I had to take this place up on their statement that they had the best burgers in LB, and even though I got a burger with quite a bit going on it did not disappoint! Any meat lover will dive into the napoleon with pure delight and the red blend wine the bartender recommended to pair with the burger was purely divine. I am sad I couldn’t experience the fondue Gouda cheese and had to opt for the vegan cheese instead due to my extreme lactose and tolerance. The fries were the only part that was simply ok, I would recommend offering seasoned fries because they were quite bland, but perhaps it’s a great options for people not wanting to take in too much salt.
Vegans can be happy with this joint because they have several vegan options! Also note they have beer on tap that isn’t in the menu.
Service: 10/10
Luis took such good care of me and I enjoyed all of his recommendations. He was very attentive, patient, kind and knowledgeable of the menu.
Ambiance: 10/10
Laid back and decent amount of seating. As usual I just seat myself at the bar. Clean and welcoming!
Just be aware that the parking is the same as any other joint in DTLB, gotta cross your fingers and hope you get something close by. They’ve turned the street curb parking into paid parking. I lucked out and found an available spot in the neighborhood right around the corner.
They brought our food in a timely manner. The brisket nachos feed two, and if you’re a light eater maybe three. The brisket was okay but a slight bit dry, and the cheese is made Texas style with a bit of sweetness to it. The salad itself was huge, with lots for leftover.
The atmosphere wasn’t particularly special but was nice.
