Shady Grove Foods

"So tasty! Highly recommend. I had the hot hen sandwich which was perfectly fried and came with crispy seasoned potatoes. The brown lager beer accompanied the meal well. The back patio had heaters, market lights and a charming ambiance that was unexpected from just walking by the storefront many times. Our server was very friendly, and we had an overall great experience. We'll be back."

"My husband and I are new to Long Beach and I’d asked for recommendations for Thanksgiving as it is just the two of us. David graciously invited us to attend his private Thanksgiving at his restaurant. Complete strangers, he invited us to join his family and friends. We were blown away by his hospitality. We attended his Thanksgiving dinner with delicious food, drinks and amazing company. It is rare to find such kindness and authenticity but, he and his family made us feel so welcome. Shady Grove will be our go to spot when you need comfort food and you’re welcomed. Thank you so much for having us David! We will see you in the neighborhood."

"Honestly, the bacon is what's gonna sell you on this place, also the home made lemonade. I ordered the Gumbo Yaya and I sopped the juice with my bread slices. Jolee took care of us and attended to our needs, we were a party of 8. Definitely come by and ask for Jolee and some bacon and a nice glass of lemonade. Also we came for the loaded potatoes only served on Thursdays, they were to die for!"

"I very much enjoyed the food here. We started with the loaded Michelada which came with butter soaked shrimp, three gigantic jalapeno stuffed olives and a thick piece of bacon. I followed that up with the ribs and was not disappointed. The flavors popped and the pineapple salsa was a perfect touch. I will say the ambiance is not ideal. There were flies buzzing around and I sat with a view of the storage room. The service was slow since they were busy but well worth the wait."
