Grilled oysters slathered in an uni butter before being topped with potato chips. Karaage-style fried oysters topped with scallion vinaigrette and spiced Kewpie. Fresh oysters dressed with peaches and Serrano chile. Skewers of damn near perfect squid, coated with an umami romesco and shiso chili oil.

These were just a few of the offerings from Loquat Oysters at their inaugural residency, now taking place every Sunday through Tuesday at RetRoll Sushi at The Art Theatre on 4th Street.

Loquat Oysters officially kicked off its residency inside RetRoll Sushi at the Art Theatre on 4th Street. Here's your first look.

Praise the pizza gods: Chef Waldo Stout has officially moved Waldo’s Pizza beyond the pop-up world and into a permanent kitchen in Downtown Long Beach.

Long Beach Greek Week will lead into the Long Beach Greek Festival 2026, as is Labor Day weekend tradition for over 75 years. The week—running from Aug. 31 through Sept. 4—will feature a slew of Greek- or Greek-American-owned restaurants with specials.

That leads up to the festival tradition. Running from Saturday, Sept. 5, through Monday, Sept. 7, Assumption Greek Orthodox Church becomes a village square alive with food, music, and dance. And, of course, the unmistakable warmth of Greek hospitality.

Long Beach Greek Week will lead into the Long Beach Greek Festival 2026, as is Labor Day weekend tradition for over 75 years.

Long Beach’s proper Irish pub, The Auld Dubliner, has been named the best Irish pub in the state of California by MSN—and one of the best in the nation.

And given the pub’s rich history—a melding of an Irishman’s love letter to the city and the history of one of the world’s richest cultures—the two-decades-old staple deserves all the laurels it can garner.

If you’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting SnoCorner owner Ashley Monconduit, you’d have had the honor of meeting one of the kindest, hardest-working people trying to envelop NOLA culture and bring it here to Long Beach.

Which is why she deserves applause for serving up the city’s finest snoballs and beignets for five years straight.

Five years ago, Ashley Monconduit opened SnoCorner as a deeply personal ode to New Orleans snoball culture and Long Beach.

Today is your last chance to sit in on Chef Johnathan Benvenuti’s collaboration menu with Chef Carlos Jurado of Selva. If you miss the food of Bar Becky, this is your chance to have Chef Johnathan’s focaccia and pasta right next to Chef Carlos’s smoked duck and tallarines.

The closing of Bar Becky was many things: Infuriating. Heartbreaking. Another sobering reminder of how brutally difficult it is to operate an independent, chef-driven restaurant—particularly when landlords, leases and unrelenting occupancy costs enter the equation. But it was never the end of Chef...
