The Attic

"Creative Southern eatery plating an all-day menu in a circa-1920s Craftsman bungalow."

The Attic is a Long Beach caterer and Southern restaurant operating out of a 1920s Craftsman-style home, established in 2012 by owner Steve Massis. Chef Cameron Slaugh leads the kitchen with a menu that marries New American cuisine with Southern traditions, drawing on local, seasonal ingredients and a background of growing up on a farm. Signature dishes noted by diners include Mac and Cheetos, St. Louis Cut Ribs, Wild Mushroom Bolognese, shrimp and grits, and housemade donuts. The Attic has been a Long Beach staple since 2012, with the interior and exterior restored under the guidance of local designer Tara Rigi and a new culinary direction introduced when chef Cameron Slaugh joined near the beginning of 2020. Located in Long Beach, CA. Diners frequently highlight the attentive service, the comfort-food-leaning menu, and the warm atmosphere of dining inside the craftsman home, with the Mac and Cheetos and housemade donuts drawing particular repeat mentions.
