Now here is the thing. I have always been a patron of Georges Greek. I love the food, and have always received good to great service depending on the night. I had an excellent waiter one evening and I mentioned if Georges offered delivery service within the radius of Belmont Shore or specifically 90803. He said indeed they do. I also confirmed this by their website stating they deliver within Belmont Shore with 15 dollar order or more. I called 2 days before a dinner gathering I was planning to see if I needed to order (like) cater in advance.. The attendee I talked with mentioned that for orders under $30, just call that evening and they would deliver within an hour. (Sounded great to me) The problem: Thus I planned a gathering at my home of 5 people expecting a lovely Greek meal. I go to order and cant get through.. Then I get an attendant that says she cant here me over the noise and just hangs up. Then I call back and finally after 10 minutes of redirections get through to place my order... Im told that my home (which is in Belmont Shore, same area code and literally a straight line up 2nd to Coronado) is out of their range of delivery.. I mentioned that I talked two two people who insured me they delivery within Belmont Shore and my home is literally just 1 short block North of where they say they cut off (aka Redondo).. I mentioned that I had several people over expecting a meal.. and that the website does not mention any stipulations. The website states delivery within all of 90803 Belmont Shore. The lady I talked with was very rude.. and said sir this is "not my problem" we dont deliver to you. WOW.. I have no problem if they stated they dont deliver to my area.. on their website or something.. But after being a patron for years.. I felt really slapped in the back. Would it have really been such a chore to drive 1 more block? Since I was entertaining I couldnt pick up that night.. It screwed up my plans.. and I was force to order a pizzas from Z pizza that alas came through quickly on Sat night. NOT THE WAY TO DO BUSINESS GEORGES.. I and my friends will be taking our business elsewhere) Future marketing.. Georges.. If you choose to not deliver to specific areas within the area code 90803... specify on your website.. and on your outgoing messages.. Also on busy nights have an office or an area to pick up the phone away from the street crowd and noise of main dining.. Having to try to call 4 or 5 times to get someone to talk with as well as all the rerouting errors was not cool. Since I often order delivery for parties etc.. I have never had any problems with other Belmont Shore restaurants.. Very surprising..

Sat. April 23, 2016 My hubby and I took a drive to Long Beach for a nice little outing. After enjoying the cool breeze and taking photos at the beach, we both realized how famished we were. We decided to take a stroll along the busy, trendy restaurant row of the Belmont Shore area. I was actually feeling like India cuisine then Thai hit my mind. My husband and I decided we would get a nice walk in by checking out a few of the menus before making a final decision. Our first stop was Lebanese. The aromas were amazing and the menu appeared appetizing. Within the next little block, we came upon a Greek spot. A friendly host greeted us. While reviewing the menu, another young woman walked up and began telling us about the great food that this restaurant puts out. Her name was Tammy. Tammy told us about the Friday night special and how delicious it is, and how they always sell out before the end of the night. She explained how the meal is prepared and told us that we would be very pleased. My honey was ready to try it, but I wanted to check out at least one more place before we made a final decision. Off we went to find that India place I thought we passed earlier. After walking half way down the block I paused and said to my husband, I think you are right, we need to turn around and try that Greek café. Tammy had painted a picture that sparked a fire in us. She was happy that we had returned and smiled as she led us to our table. The ambiance was nice and romantic; it gave us a real feel of being in Greece. We both ordered the Friday night Kleftico, Slow Roasted Lamb Special served with roasted Greek potatoes, Greek salad, and pita bread. This dish arrived at our table with the most amazing aroma; I could not wait to dig in. This entree was absolute Perfection! We salute the chef, for a job well done! It was difficult to pause and put my fork down, let alone have conversation with my husband. ;-)) Our server Kacy, was delightful in every way possible. Our food came out in a timely manner and the presentation was huge ;-) Kacy got a group of her peers to come over to our table and sing happy birthday to my hubby and presented him with a delicious slice of Baklava. Do not pass this place up folks! If you love, lamb or even like lamb, look no further. What a Marvelous experience, I cannot wait to go back again! Thank you Tammy, Kacy, and Javier Happy Customers Chef Ann & Chez Gordy p.s. George, you picked a winner! Tammy is the perfect person for the front of your establishment!

The best lamb chops Ive ate hands down! None of the lamb smell, perfectly done and seasoned. Definitely a good sized meal when combined with their rice and vegies. And the best part? You can ordered either 2, 4 or 6 lamb chops depending on how hungry you are! Their Gyro sandwiches, with a mix of both beef and lamb, wasnt bad either. The included Greek salad was a very good portion and can be a meal in itself. Excellent service, great "Greek" ambience with both indoor and outdoor seating. The heater lamps outside was definitely a plus to keep us warm and cozy while we people watched as we ate. The next time when somebody mentions Greek food, Ill definitely think of "Georges" in Long Beach...

Food was fantastic and our waitress/the bartender, Kacy, was amazing! She was taking orders, making drinks, answering the phone, bussing the bar top and more, all while making sure we got everything we ordered and that it was tasty and to our satisfaction. Dont live in the area, but I would definitely come here again if I am.

Fantastic, fresh, and lovingly prepared food. We tried the dip, Greek Cafe, and goulash--each one came out vibrantly flavored, balanced, and savory. I cant wait to order all of it again AND try out the rest of the menu. The vibe is very cozy and casual. Good for loners, couples, and very small groups.

Ok, grab yourself a little of the white and play along. this is more about the feel and vibe than the authenticity. However the food is quite nice and your going to be well taken care once you get inside. So go have fun but keep your expectations in check and you can enjoy the moment.
