Fodor's Expert Review The Attic

Long Beach's famous Craftsman bungalows were built en masse during an oil boom a century ago, and while many have been torn down to make way for McMansions and apartment blocks, one now plays home to the Attic, which serves up some of the best Southern-style cuisine in the region. The comfort food on the all-day menu delights, from the Flaming Hot Cheetos mac and cheese (don't overthink it; just try it) to the Three Little Pigs sandwich. Daily happy-hour specials serve as an "intermission" between lunch and dinner offerings. Score a coveted indoor table in the home's former rooms, or enjoy the low-key outside patio. In the mood for adventure? Try to score a reservation for the communal weekend Attic Supper Club, nestled in a gorgeous private dining room. Like much of Long Beach, the Attic is dog-friendly.
