★★★★★ 5.0 Jessica Velazquez · Oct 2025

We stopped into The Hangout Restaurant & Beach Bar on our way to the Long Beach airport, and it was such a great choice! The service was warm and welcoming from the moment we walked in. The food was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and made with care. We tried the jalapeño burger, shrimp, and their Food Network–famous onion rings, and they lived up to the hype! The adult chicken tenders, breaded in-house, were another highlight—their breading and beer batter were absolutely amazing. This spot has a fun, laid-back vibe with great food and friendly service. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area!

On a sunny Sunday morning, we were seated in only 20 minutes. The four of us felt fortunate to have a view of the pier, and Graham took excellent care of us. We never felt rushed, and water was refilled often. The onion rings deserve the award they received, and the pickle chips had just the right tanginess. The Double Bypass Burger (we asked for the chili on the side) was HUGE and so delicious; the “buns” are actually grilled cheese sandwiches. Our Bacon Bloody Mary and Dirty Bloody Mary complemented the burger perfectly.

one of the only places I go when I go to the beach and have extra money. Plus the burger was so good. I got two Bud lights, one Guinness and then I got the happy hour burger fries and wings. The wings were okay burger was really good. I hould have asked for extra onions and extra sauce but really good. Bartender Allie was really nice. I always love going to happy hour.

Just love this restaurant. Whenever we visit family in Seal Beach, we make sure to have a meal at the Hangout. Service is great and good is even better! You can't top Guinness on draft! Perfect end to the meal is a walk along the Seal Beach Pier.

★★★★★ 5.0 Kitten Lover · Jan 2026

One of our regular favorites. Everything there tastes great and quality is excellent at both Seal Beach and Huntington Beach. Always bring family or friends who come into town to visit because I know they won't be disappointed.
