I’ve been to 3 of the Grilled Fraiche locations and each has its own thing I like. What I like about the Long Beach location is the healing energy you feel when you walk in—thanks to the thoughtful and uplifting quotes. The essential oils diffuser, the subtle candles, mildly upbeat music, and flora inspired decor all provide a homey feeling.The service was outstanding—from our attentive and prompt server Marley to the chef Angelica. They make sure you get exactly what you like and that it is to your liking. They also provide excellent recommendations.Don’t get me started on the food!!! Their menu has options for the meat lover (such as myself), those who prefer plant based foods, and everything in between. I especially loved the patties (we tried the spinach, curry chicken, and spicy barbecue chicken) and the oxtail. I couldn’t decide which I liked more between the classic shrimp and grits I got and the shrimp and salmon croquettes my fiancée got. They have a selection of sauces for every taste palette.I also like that you can sit down if you want or get your food to go. I recommend this spot.

I was floored by the food here the oxtail bowl I had was cooked to perfection, I could cut the oxtails with a fork they were so tender, with Jasmine rice and fresh veggies with a plantain also. Pictures dont do this bowl justice, it was wider and deeper than my grandmas gumbo bowls. They also have a Jerk sauce that you have to try, it adds a nice kick to your meal and you dont need to use the whole container. My friends had the shrimp and grits, and the grilled salmon on noodles. They loved every bite, highly recommend this restaurant. It was clean, the service was good, and the staff made me feel comfortable. A great experience.

The believe stew with peas in coconut milk is so good, oh my. Pretty much anything in coconut milk is delicious. Had the Shrimp Enchiladas, I think I ordered the salmon on Uber eats but I got shrimp was still delicious full of flavor and the special sauce even better. The bread pudding was so good. Keep it up, excellent food.

This is happy food. Each dish is a flavor bomb bursting with deep flavors. I have had their garlic noodles with shrimp, stew and shrimp and grits. All these were heaven to the senses. If your shopping at Target or Trader Joes stop by and give them a try. The staff is warm and welcoming. Youll leavehappy from the inside out.Just had the onion rings for the first time. Simply put the best I’ve had!! The aoli and homemade ketchup is a complement.

Incredible product. Food was really good and theres not much Caribbean food out there. Everything on the menu is fairly unique.It might have just been our server who made our experience so good but she gave us a sample of their bean stew, which was incredible. Then after we got our food, she knew we were interested in the sauces, so she brought out a few different sauces for us to try with our meal. All the sauces are pretty incredible. The one with mayo is a little to Mayo heavy for me though.I definitely recommend going half-and-half with the dream sauce and the jerk sauce.

This place is a hidden gem! Absolutely fantastic food. We split the oxtail bowl and it was so unique and fresh. Great Caribbean inspired food.

Hole in the wall in a busy shopping center. Stopped in because I love Caribbean food and I knew they had some vegan options. Their menu was clearly labeled which I really appreciated. The service was super friendly; felt less like a restaurant and more like eating at a friends house which I loved. I got a vegetable bowl, which came with a sauce of choice, fried plantain and rice. I chose the jerk sauce, which was spicy and delicious, but they had a ton of sauce options, mostly vegan. It tasted fresh and healthy. Would definitely go back to try more things. Great vibes, healthy food choices and a laid-back atmosphere.

The staff was kind and the service was excellent. We were given a sample of the stew and it was amazing. We ended up ordering a lot of options and everything was delicious.
