I've learned that not all fantastics are the same! Service is fantastic everywhere...staff was super nice and efficient...but the food did not taste the same. Wasn't bad...but wasnt amazing. Gonna stick with the one on the west side of Long Beach moving forward! But this may be the flavor you're looking for, so definitely check it out! More

My family and I used to meet at Fantastic Cafe years ago for breakfast. I moved away from the area and went back a month ago. I was so happy to find the restaurant was still open and the food was as good as it was before I moved away. The employees are fast and courteous. Everyone enjoyed their breakfast.

  • Elia Nunez

we have been coming to this place thorough many years (40?) and different owners and couple of years hsd a "Fantastic" new ownership and the place remodeled. the food is ready fast and well prepared, "new cooks?" We love it and now that we live, not in San Pedro but about 20 miles away, we still come to enjoy!

  • Nereyda Saenz

I became so ill after eating a chicken salad here I had to go to the emergency room. I ended up testing positive for e coli poisoning. Someone who works here does not wash their hands or they are not handling food correctly. This happened in April 2023. I have never been so sick in my life. It was awful. More

  • Evejay

Your chicken wrap is bland, sad, no flavor. Revisit the recepe. Grilled onions, peppers, do something to give that spinach tortilla some love. First bite, cold lettuce and mayo☹️ a little dressing on tossed lettuce would help. Such a beautiful wrap but no personality. I EXPECTED IT TO BE FANTASTIC!

  • Raymond Garay

Food was ok. But I ordered an orange bang and found a small fly in it. When I told one of the girl employees she said oh it's only a fly they hang out by the orange bang machine, when I also told the supervisor she seemed like it was ok also. They offered me another drink or the money of the drink.

  • Stevan Todorovic

Long wait at the counter, but the food is worth it. I typically do the grilled chicken fresh wrap with extra chicken and the spinach tortilla to keep carbs down (18 carbs) and its pretty delicious! Everything else is killer too and actually worth the calories. So great spot for a cheat meal! More

  • Deborah Scott

You order at the counter and you pick up your meal when they call your number. So there is no wait staff. However the kitchen crew, the cashiers, and the cleaning crew are always efficient, polite, and fast. And this neighborhood take-out/eat-in diner is very popular. More

  • Tasha Lynn Green

I must say that portion size is spectacular. However, I asked for no Mayo and it was abundantly stuffed with mayo...that is my only complaint! the chicken was juicy and perfect, and I ordered a wrap. Definitely should try the food, it's worth it. More

This location is the Best Fantastic Cafe in the south bay area (L.A. County). I've been to 4-5 others and this one has the best food and the biggest portions. The employee are nice also. When you haven't been in a year or two yet you see

I lived in San Pedro about 8 years ago and this was one of my favorite places to go get breakfast or lunch with my best friend. We would eat there at least twice a month and consistently for the span of about 2 years. It was just one of our

  • alexa iacono

I'm so sad to write this because I've been coming here for as long as I could remember, as a child I'm the 90s. The food is usually consistent and decent. The prices lately have been creeping up. It is now way OVERPRICED for the quality of

Not sure who was there today at the drive thru around 4:40pm but either y’all need a new speaker or she just didn’t want to take our order. We usually order inside or through the phone but we had pulled up to the drive thru waiting for our

Fantastic Cafe on Gaffey St. San Pedro is by far my favorite burger joint, including all of gourmet burger places too. Yes taste do count and yes they are good. But one key plus of this specific Fantastic Cafe place for me is the manner of

I order the Greek Salad with Grilled Chicken Breast 4 times per month. It is a mystery every time I receive my order whether I will get a grilled chicken breast or a chopped up portion of, what tastes like, old, left over, chicken. I have

  • Andy Flores

Happy Diner down the street doesn’t treat people this way. I recommend going to them . I’ve always loved eating here. I must spend a few hundred a month on eating here with my family as there is 5 of us and we eat here a few times a week.

Good food at reasonable prices! However, the dining room temperature was a bit warm for the summer heat, but the worst part was that there were a bunch of flies along the north side window area. The restrooms no longer have air
