The Crooked Duck

The Crooked Duck is a breakfast and lunch restaurant in Zaferia, Long Beach, on Pacific Coast Highway. Plates run from flapjacks, omelets and chicken fried steak to huevos rancheros and avocado toast, with Lingle Bros. coffee and Lavazza espresso. A full list of mimosas, Bloody Marys and morning cocktails keeps brunch going, and the name comes from the owner’s family legend about a duck.
