American breakfast & lunch fare, plus cocktails, on a spacious patio with marina views.

We discovered this wonderful breakfast and lunch gem back in 1988. We live in Nor Cal and get to So Cal twice a year, and we have breakfast here usually 3-4 days/year. We love eating at restaurants by water and this place is by Alamitos Bay. There are yachts & boats in the harbor. Schooner is where I first discovered Chilequiles (with red sauce), and Huevos Rancheros. The staff are so friendly, some have worked here over 15 years! The food is delicious, and on warm summer days while seated on the outside patio, nothing is better than a Schooner of Beer or a Bloody Mary. Clothing merchandise is also available. You can’t go wrong having a fun meal here.

Nice views and patio. We came here for the views while in Long Beach. Our server, Janice S was great – friendly and attentive. We got the BLT and the crab & avocado melt. The sandwiches were good – I was surprised my salad was iceberg lettuce for the price and its description of ‘green salad.’ They have lots of patio seating, perfect for a nice day. I also liked that they offered coffee and other drinks while waiting for a table.

It’s a local favorite but be prepared for at least a one hour to 90 minute wait on weekends. Tables are empty but there is not enough staff so they limit which sections are open. Also, they push the bar while you wait so the alcohol sales may be a primary driver for the long wait.

Been here a few times, love it, parking is always easy, but the spaces are small. Never waited too long. Great atmosphere, good food, great service. Large portions, and great flavor for a fair price. Indoor and outdoor seating. Very clean. Good views. Great drinks, and highly recommend and will return.

I hadn’t been there in a few years but if anything changed, it only got better. I have been there several times and I honestly have only had the Crab Omelet with Avocado and Hollandaise. Onion Rings are made fresh to order and the Biscuits are a must have. Hard to believe that’s my go to without having tried anything else in years. Hey, if it ain’t broke, right?

Food was sub par, only good thing was the rosted potatoes. The servers we’re giving me and my girlfriend dirty looks our entire dining experience. I don’t know what reason they would have to do that, we were being nice the entire time. We also saw other tables get their food before we did. I saw our food sitting on the counter as orher plates went out. As we got seated, a manager (or whoever) was being rude to the man seating us. He was the only person who was nice to us, wish he was our server. Will not be returning, terrible over all experience.

We celebrated Mother’s Day at Schooner or Later and had an amazing time! The atmosphere was perfect, the staff was friendly and attentive, and the food was on point. Everything came out fresh and delicious, and the waterfront setting made it feel extra special. It was the perfect spotto relax, enjoy a great meal, and make memories with the family. Definitely one of our new favorite places—can’t wait to come back!

Tried the Florentine Benedict and potato leek soup on a busy Saturday morning. Had about a 35-minute wait around 11am, was seated and served promptly even though they were super busy.
The soup was so good, very hearty with chunks of potato and bacon! Came with a side of garlic bread (or choice of sourdough). It was slightly burnt on one side and tasted quite bitter so did not finish the entire garlic bread due to that.
Benedict had balanced flavours, the spinach went really went with the dish! Will be back to try their lunch menu items next time!

My sister and I enjoyed brunch! Awesome friendly service! My sister says one of the best bowls of chili she’s had in a while.
