Long Beach natives and restaurateurs Phil and Lauren Pretty have restored a charming 1922 craftsman into the Heritage Sandwich Shop. The shop is open for outdoor dining and to go orders, featuring menu items like their smoked brisket sandwich made with fermented pickles, cole slaw and green garlic aioli on country bread and their line-caught halibut sandwich with tartare sauce, gem lettuce and pickles on brioche.

The building has been home to a coffee shop, taqueria, and palm reader; the brother and sister team have now transformed it into a modern farmhouse concept with bright white walls and emerald green accents. A live-edge Ashwood bar top serves as the focal point of the airy space dotted with greenery and the patio offers picnic tables safely spaced between olive trees.
