Longport's ube colada appeared on my Yelp feed quite a bit, so it was a sign for me to check it out! The fam went for lunch on a Sunday, and we were seated outdoors. Other than the flies and other small creatures, it was a pleasant experience.
Drinks wise, we tried the ube colada and the ginger hibiscus spritzer. The ube colada was... well, quite disappointing. It looked amazing with the purple and white, and some green garnish, but it didn't really have much of that ube flavor. They were generous on the alcohol portion though! I'd definitely try a different drink next time. THe ginger hibiscus spritzer was heavy on the ginger, so if you like that, you might like this. The husband enjoyed it!
For the food, we tried the following -
Steak/skillet rancheros - their take on huevos rancheros. Came on a plate with a couple side tortillas and eggs with soft center. Good steak and potatoes and other items in here, but a bit too salty in my opinion. Other than that, it was pretty good.
Chicken and Waffles - ube waffle! Beautiful take with the purple and some fried chicken strips on top.. My daughter enjoyed the waffle and ube cream more than the chicken itself, which is usually the reverse, so it must have been a good waffle! She let me try a quarter of it, and it was pretty good. Parts were a bit too dry, but I enjoyed the texture. The waffle itself was alright, but definitely use and add that glob of ube cream... that ties it all together so well!
Cioppino - though it was one of the pricier items on the menu and what we ordered, I really enjoyed this dish! Not too salty, and there was a good amount of seafood mixture from pieces of fish, some shrimp, mussels, calamari, and more. The sauce/broth was really nice too. The bread had a slight amount of butter in it, and dipping that with the broth was amazing.
Kids chicken tenders and fries - my son enjoyed this. Different chicken pieces than what came with the chicken and waffles, and it came with waffle fries.
A lot here that I really want to try, such as their truffle fries, burrata, raw stuff, etc., so if I come here again, I'd definitely try those!
