The Attic - Long Beach (CA)

3 /5 Ya- Ya: Good location (love The Library & Cocorenos across the street); street parking is a challenge. Lunch date with my gal. Weve had shrimp n grits in Nawlins, and love the cheesy grits at The Hangout in Seal Beach. THIS version was unexpectedly creamy, sweet. The highly recommended (by the waiter/server) sizzling rice bowl had a flavorful sauce, 2 eggs on top--wished we had tried the gumbo instead as we dont like rice & eggs that much. Overall, fun fusion food adventure. Well appointed interior & staff.

3 /5 K F: We went on a Sunday around noon. It was very busy but the wait wasnt that long. The staff was friendly and attentive. We started with the mac and cheese with flaming cheetos, which was really good and the best part of the meal! I had biscuits and gravy + 2 eggs. I ordered the eggs over medium/jammy. They came very over easy so I didnt appreciate that. The biscuits were slathered in gravy but still on the drier side. I wish I wouldve ordered the gravy on the side as it was too much. My husband ordered the burger and enjoyed it.

4 /5 Nathan Hanners: Great spot for a weekend brunch. The cheetos mac-and-cheese was amazing get it with the short rib! The restaurant made pasta was very good. My wife and I had split the Benedict with the Grit cake was a really interesting idea and we really liked the shrimp, the pork was a little all over the place taste wise. French toast was huge! We took over half of it. Service was on point. Recommendations were good. Flies. There were lots of flies. They have little fans but you have to ask for them. Overall we loved this place and my wife looks forward to having brunch with her friends soon.

5 /5 Brandi Bird: Loved our server, Emma! She was wonderful, very attentive and personable. :) The overall atmosphere here is awesome! The decor is lovely. Food was delicious - the Mac & Cheetos is a MUST. Highly recommend!
