Atmosphere was great. Good was excellent. Really enjoyed the hush puppies. My wife had the crab cake sandwich and I had the fried chicken club. Both were very good and very sizeable. My only complaint, and I assume they were abnormally busy, was we waited at the bar to get drinks while waiting for a table and it took over 30 min to be greeted. When we did get our drinks they were good as well. But even after the late greet and slow drinks, I ended up waiting almost 20 min after we were buzzed for our table to be able to close out our tab. Again I am sure they were busy, the bartender even mentioned she couldn't get real bar guests because it was s full of people waiting for tables. I hate to think that all of us up there spending money and tipping were an inconvenience. But I know how stressful being weeded is. I would 100% recommend Longboards as a great get together spot or date night. Just be patient if you are told there is a wait.
I love this place! I’ve been a handful of times and it’s always a great time! Amazing environment from the marina view to the people who frequent this location. The staff is absolutely the most amazing bunch who are very attentive and high in spirit and attentiveness. MANDY, BRIAN, MAE MAE, ALYSSA, JADA, and I forget the other bartender 🥺 are awesome as heck!
Today we had a fantastic time. After some reflection it's ALL because of our Server Liz. She was AMAZING! She clearly had a large party in addition to our table of 2. She was informative while also being attentive. Do yourself a favor and #Ask4Liz
I have been here before and although it wasn't terrible, I must say last time was better. The location on the marina is gorgeous, especially when outdoor seating is available, and the food is always good. We ordered the fried pickles for an appetizer. The pickles themselves are thick slices with a lot of breading, served with their blackened ranch. For an entrée, I ordered the jalapeno popper burger (without the cream cheese) and it was a delicious, huge portion. Unfortunately the service was not great. The waitress (who's mask was basically on her chin) never took our drink orders and only brought water. The appetizer was late and the food took almost an hour to come out. It was a less than great service but the food makes it worth it.
I come here regularly and I absolutely love Long Boards East Beach. Always amazing food, fantastic atmosphere, top notch staff and ownership. Overall experience A+. The best bar and restaurant in East Beach. Come around sunset and grab some drinks and dinner!
