Pies like your grandma made are Jongewaard's Bake-n-Broil's stock in trade year-round. During the summer, when berries and stone fruits are in season, flaky crusts filled with fresh, delicate fruit make this Long Beach institution even more special. Depending on what's available at the time, you might get thick slices of fresh strawberries glistening with a mirror glaze. It might be overfilled with whole jumbo boysenberries or fragrant wedges of yellow peaches. Not a fan of crisp, textbook-perfect pie crust? The kitchen creates a few pans of cobbler instead of pie, if that's your thing. The fresh seasonal fruit pies cost just a few dollars more than the ones on the rotating permanent menu. While the days are still long and muggy, head to Bixby Knolls and order whatever fruit-filled wonder happens to be waiting for you.
