North Concourse burger stop tied to Long Beach, not a chain
This is the Long Beach Burger Bar in Terminal 1’s North Concourse, open daily from about 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. It fills the “I just want a burger and fries” gap without defaulting to McDonald’s or Burger King, matching LGB’s habit of using local names instead of national brands. Seating looks onto the small concourse, so you can watch gate activity while you eat instead of hovering by the doors.
The menu centers on classic burgers, fries, and likely a few basics like soft drinks and maybe a chicken option, priced in the usual airport range where a combo can easily push into the mid-teens. It sits airside after security in Terminal 1, so you’re fine eating here even on a short hop to Oakland or Vegas. Service is counter-order, so you can be in and out in 20–25 minutes if your timing is good.
There isn’t much review data yet, and no specific standouts like a named burger or special sauce have surfaced, but that also means no recurring complaints about cold fries or long waits. Think of it as a straightforward fallback if the line at the nearby coffee spot is insane or if your flight boards from a North Concourse gate. You won’t get chef-y toppings; you will get something hot and filling.
Tip: LGB security is usually quick, but still clear TSA first, then eat here within sight of your Terminal 1 gate so you can board when they call Group 1–3.
