50 Best American Restaurants near Anaheim Hills

“Make reservations on Friday, Saturday and Sunday’s otherwise it’s a long wait.“

“First time here. Came on a weekday at 10am and it was packed! I got sat right away and got my coffee (which was delicious!) right away. But then waited about 15 minutes for my server to come back and take my order. But once she did, my breakfast arrived quickly. It was hot, fresh, delicious and packed with flavor!

I’ll definitely be back but as a single diner, would probably sit at the counter for faster service. Yum!“

“Are you kicking me out I’m still here“

“chicken sandwich is realy good 👍“

“Great vibes! Great drinks and food.“

“This is the best Denny's because of the many memories I have when our family would eat here when it was a Lamppost Pizza. The layout is the same but of course the food is breakfast fodder. It's evolved with me because now I can't eat pizza and they change their omelet plate to make it a Vegan plate and now I can eat here again with my family.“

“This location is the best! The staff is very nice and attentive. My husband and I live in walking distance so we're here once a week. The food is much better here than the location on Alton. The only thing I'd change about this location is the smell of rancid standing water / funky garbage near the bathrooms.“

“My daughter and I ate there yesterday for the first time! The chicken was very tender and tasty… I recommend the chicken club sandwich. My daughter got the Cobb salad and the portion was huge! Their specialty lemonades are really good too! I tried the strawberry and basil! Yum!“

“They are very kind to the public.“

“Went for breakfast during the week. It was surprisingly busy. Service was fast and relatively friendly. Food came out quickly. I didn't love the scrambled eggs, but I'm admittedly picky about them. The pancakes were pretty solid.

It has a distinctively retro vibe... 70s maybe? But not in a campy way. Just feels very old school. I wouldn't say it's on my favorites list, but I'd definitely go back.“

“I Love This Place Their Food And Drinks Are Delicious Their Service Is Great.“

“Michelin-Level Experience at Outback Prices The Wild Artichoke in Yorba Linda is a hidden gem. I was expecting something entirely different — and was pleasantly surprised in the best possible way. We started with the smashed potatoes and endive salad, which made for perfect appetizers: light enough not to spoil our appetite, yet full of flavor to whet it. The portions were ideal for sharing with my wife. For our main courses, we ordered from the lunch menu. I had the Wagyu burger, and my wife went with the tempura fish and chips. I’m not sure how they did it, but every bite was incredibly well-balanced. The fish had a crispy exterior, just the right touch of Maldon salt, and a beautifully firm, flaky interior. The tartar sauce was exceptional — rich, creamy, and unlike any I’ve had before. The burger was a standout. Each ingredient was distinct and purposeful — no unnecessary fillers. Every component worked in harmony to deliver deep, layered flavors in every bite. We ended the meal with the Basque cheesecake, which was beautifully presented. It wasn’t overly sweet, and the perfectly burnt top paired wonderfully with the sweet berry compote. A special treat was getting to meet the head chef. What a pleasant surprise. He shared the story behind one of his dishes and mentioned that every item on the menu has its own story and purpose. That passion really comes through in the food. I’ve dined at many fine restaurants, and I can confidently say the quality here rivals places charging $150–$200 per plate. The value is extraordinary for the caliber of cuisine offered. This is a truly special hidden gem — perfect for a relaxed lunch with friends or an intimate dinner date. I can’t wait to try the rest of their menu!“

“authentic and very good - the real deal - homemade“

“great little family run business“

“Old Time diner feel. Breakfast lunch place..Very friendly people...food is pretty good.went in for lunch..they close early I had a sandwich and my friend had the huevos rancheros...he said it was just ok...mine was good. Definitely be back for breakfast“

“I love this place and honestly besides the prices being a little steep, I like how everything is prepped and handled. I love how they don’t haggle me for having my bike inside the building compared to other fast food places.

Kid-friendliness: If you treat them right, they will too.“

“excellent food and service! Fantastic Bloody Mary's too!“

“Ate at the Jamboree location in Tustin and cashier Ali was courteous, kind, knowledgeable and very helpful in helping us understand the menu options. Even offered a couple samples to make sure we ordered something we’d enjoy. Great customer service!“

“Everything here is good. I've never been disappointed with anything I've ordered. Just be aware that it can get crowded, especially on game days or weekends.

Parking: Shared parking lot with the rest of the shopping center so when things get crowded, it can be hard to find a spot.“

“Went in very late to study and received great service by the waiter Tano. Was checked on very often and was refilled on everything before we even had to ask. Definitely helped build a great atmosphere to help do homework as well which was appreciated.“

“Excellent food here! Glad it is still here after all these years.“

“The best French Toast around!“

“I couldn’t wait to share our experience at Benchmark restaurant in Santa Ana California. Everything about this place is perfection! It was a hot day, but the beautiful outdoor dining area was cool and breezy underneath the beautiful trees. Our waitress was knowledgeable, wonderfully friendly, and attended to all our needs. Each of us ordered a different item on the menu and I had to taste everything. I had the Spanish omelette, which was delicious, the burger seems like a very popular item understandably because that along with the delicious fries was exceptional. Enchiladas with mole were a wonderful treat, and the French toast was probably the hit of the table. This wonderful brunch dish was not exceptionally sweet, which made it so perfect. Some places just overdo it with the sweetness. We will definitely be going back many times to tryout dinners and more of the selections on all of the menus. I will also be spreading the word because this is probably my favorite place in Orange County now. Thank you Benchmark for a fantastic experience!“

“First timer drove all the way from Downey worth the drive. I had the blue cheese bacon burger with garlic fries and of course a Dr. Pepper. Very friendly staff they all help out my daughter had the mushroom burger with onion rings and my son had the bacon cheese burger with tots. A must try the only other thing that caught my eye was the hot wings the table next to us ordered Definitely next time“

“delicious food & great service 😋 💁‍♀️“

“Chef Kyle is the man! Went for a prefix dinner on a weeknight. One of the best lobster bisque I had in a long time, I could have had a few more cups :) The beefs were seared just right. And the fresh pasta was...fresh! The carbs, gratuitous! All the courses at great wine pairings. Can't wait to go back. Went back :)“

“wonderful service. great food! Hawaiian burger and sweet potato fries!“

“Great place to dine . Friendly service and great atmosphere. Food is tasty and plenty to eat . Desserts are delicious!!! 😍♥️“

“There was an event earlier in the morning and I got a coupon for a free 2-pack cinnamon rolls so it was perfect that I was planning to go for dinner that same day! Cinnamon rolls were yummy and I love the fact that the icing comes separate since I’m not the biggest fan of sugary icing. I tried a different dish, Pasta primavera and added grilled chicken. This was good and would recommend it. Their side salad was yummy, had all the good toppings and at the end, my family ordered peach pie and sadly they ran out! This is a seasonal item so they were very disappointed. But it just goes to show you that it’s popular and to reserve it once you get seated because my family actually called ahead and asked if it was available and it was but after we ate, they sold out!“

“Omar is amazing, everything is fresh, delicious, and prepared from the heart. My daughter and I came to town before Spoons opened and he served us beverages and somehow got us food before the time of opening. Amazing service, food, and environment“

“They have a patio area to hold and event. Check them out it's amazing here.“

“Good food and child friendly. Cool Halloween decorations. Our server was great. I recommend this place!“

“Para mí es unos de los restaurantes más mejores y a tienden bien .“

“The crepes are awesome ❤️. Amazing staff“

“Changing my review as I was pleasantly surprised to see the turnaround here. The breakfast I got was delicious, our waitress Veronica was new but honestly did way better than most I've dealt with at other restaurants (you're doing great!). The food was cooked properly and the biggest plus was no more sewer smell in the building! THANK YOU FOR GETTING THAT HANDLED! The atmosphere during breakfast was nice. I will give this another chance for dinner time, that will be the real test to change my star from 4 to 5. I was surprised the manager remembered us after not being in for a while, it's always nice to know you're recognized. Prices are fair compared to the crazy price of everything else right now. Thank you for attending to the issues, I'll be changing my yelp review as well.“

“Great service nice servers“

“Great food !! Had no chance to take a picture of the food but I got the chipotle rice bowl! Delicious, big portions. Dad got the pull pork he said it was yummy ! The desserts were AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS! Will definitely be back out next trip to Cali. You will also see the owner greet every table, I think that’s amazing! Makes you feel well taken care of. Thank you !“

“It's becoming a Saturday morning habit near "The Circle" in Orange. The food is very, very good and it's pretty laid back.

Parking: Park in the parking structure, walk across the street, and you'll find a spot that people should not be overlooking. The food is great, and the menu has breakfast and burgers for a can't-miss late morning with mimosas!“

“Great food!“
