Such a cute place located in Bixby Knolls! The restaurant has a cute old fashioned and cozy vibe to it. My friend and I have been here a few times and the breakfast is always delicious. I get the breakfast sandwhich and it's yummy, they also have bottomless mimosas here which is a plus!!!!
MeeMa's for the win!! If you have not had a chance to come by this Bixby Knolls Jewel of a morning breakfast eatery, you have to put this on your list! You'll find it in between Carson and San Antonio on Atlantic. And not only is the staff always super great, the weekday morning breakfast special is what brings the regulars in. The special is from 8 AM to 9 AM, so you better get there early. Miguel, Taylor, and the other servers are super great and make this an absolute must if you are in the Long Beach area.
Such a cute little gem! As soon as we walked in we were greeted by Miguel. He sat us down in a timely manner. Gave us the back story how we are eating in grandmas kitchen! We got the bottomless mimosas for one hour. Refills were fast! Definitely took our time drinking and looking at the menu. Got the Taylor fries, the brunch burger, and chillaquiles with steak! Everything was so fresh and tasted so well. Miguel came back multiple times to make sure everything tasted well and for refills. Big plates, great drinks, great employees, and great prices! Be sure to ask for Miguel! He was amazing!
Super cute and very yummy place to eat. I got the steak with the chilaqiles (however u spell that) and they were soooo yummy. Definitely will eat here again.
We came on an early weekday morning to get some sweet breakfasts and this place didn't disappoint. They have a single (!) option for outdoor dining as far as I saw, and no working heater, so... be forewarned if you're still dining outdoors. Inside it's all kitsch. I recognized some old kitchenware from my grandmother's time, I'm almost certain - which is fitting for the name for sure. Seated inside, you'll feel just like you're in a time capsule. They were prompt with our orders and refills on coffee, tea, and water. The food was pretty good, especially shared between a few people since the portions are large.
Food was good! I had their Steak Burrito and added Bacon. Their smoky salsa was very good. I also had plain pancakes, they were ok, but I would definitely be back for the burrito and try other things. Service - Didn't catch his name, but he was on top of everything. Customer service, great! Place was super cute too!
If you miss grandmas house this is definitely the place to come to for breakfast. They did an amazing job decorating. Service was outstanding. Polite. Always checking in on us. We split 2 meals. The chilaquiles and the lemon blueberry ricotta pancakes. Chilaquiles 10/10. This dish was flawless. The chips were smothered in that delicious red sauce but still were crispy. Every bite. We added chicken breast for more protein. Outstanding flavors throughout each bite. Will definitely come back when craving chilaquiles. They know how to make them right. Lemon Blueberry Ricotta Pancakes 5/10. I was disappointed in these if I'm being honest. Presentation looks great. Pancakes were not fluffy more on the dense side. I was bummed to not taste any lemon or ricotta. I truly only tasted the blueberries on top of the pancake. The pancake itself didn't really taste like anything. Just my opinion. It was my first time being here. I'll for sure come back.
We had a great breakfast and service from our waiter. The coffee is really good...a must. We had the bacon avocado omelette and lemon blueberry pancakes and they were delicious. The ambiance is very cozy. Prices were a little high.
You can't go wrong with eating at Meema's in Bixby Knolls. I'm a huge chilaquiles enthusiast and their chilaquiles are consistently delicious. Sometimes I get them with steak, but other times, I opt for just as is; with over medium eggs. Since I love some spice, I'll ask for their house made habanero sauce. I also love their coffee and the generous refills. This is a place that I visit every time I'm in the area. The decor alone is fun to look at and the service is always great.
Went with step-dad before heading to SC game and it was awesome.. parking isn't great but street parking is ok. When you walk in you instantly notice all the interesting decor. There's an old TV way up near the ceiling playing old movies and such, all types of collectibles, like old cereal boxes, and kids drawings.. super homie.. 6 star on the ambiance. Service is very attentive and polite.. zero issues there. Food is tasty and interesting. I had the hangover tacos, which I grinded super fast - tasty thick bacon, homemade tortillas, perfectly cooked sunny side eggs.. loved it. Dad had waffles and eggs - I tried both.. not a huge fan of the waffles as there was a different taste but liked the churro dust that came with. Chicken was spot on - yum! All in all, easy 5 star.. if you're looking for a different experience but have the diner bug, this hit both spots for me!
