30 Best American Restaurants in Brea

“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!“

“This place was amazing. From start to finish you can tell all of the produce is fresh and everybody who works there really cares about the food they're turning out. The manager walked around and checked with every table to see if they were happy and felt accommodated.“

“My friends and I tried this place out and we loved it. We started with the meatballs and then got the rib eye. Everything was fantastic. We tried a couple different drinks and everything was really good. I’ll be back“

“My wife and I, plus my daughter Jennifer and granddaughter Breanna were very much please with our dinner last night. Michael our server came out and created us, by saying it was so nice to see you here again. Michael remember our drink order and promtly brought it out to us. The job Michael did from start to finish was amazing. From getting our order out on time and the desert was perfect for my granddaughter Breanna and my wife's as well. Always asking if everything came out right and if we needed anything else. What a perfect evening and servers like Michael make us want to eat here often. Thanks again to you Michael for giving us a beautiful evening.“

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

“First time there… the food was excellent and the service was great! Friendly and very helpful. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Been eating here for many years, but I'm moiling farther away. I miss their salid bar. The staff is always friendly and the food is great“

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

“Love & one of my favs.. the poblano omelet soo cheesy, yummy & flavorful. But.... this order was mostly poblano chili's tooo many chilis & hardly any beef. For the price I need more meat & lesser chili. The pancakes are always delish fresh. Yuum. Oh and the gentleman who took my order over the phone was the nicest person ever. Keep smiling.. Jesus“

“If you get a chance go have a meal at Reunion Kitchen!! The food and vibe is not just awesome but consistently awesome!!! Can't wait for them to open up their new location here in Corona! Everything is great but imo the au gratin potatoes are a must have! Also I wasn't a big dessert guy, but that changed when I tried a bite of their butter cake.....wow, out of this world and huge, more than enough for two to share..:)“

“This is a surprisingly nice restaurant inside Nordstrom's. The server was excellent. We were not rushed but he appeared the moment we needed something. The food was very good. I have had the burger and another time, the fried chicken sandwich. My friends had the salad nicoise which was delicious and filling. For the evening, the cocktails are good as well. The window seating is lovely since until the weather is warm enough for their terrace seating. Take the elevator to the 5th floor, and you won't be tempted by the January sales.“

“Best pastrami

Started in highschool with the OG in Alhambra on valley Blvd... Where we could get a pastrami fries and a drink for under 5.00 got the same thing today for $19. 76...🤦🏽‍♀ But still good so worth it“

“Great beer and food. Recommend the firecracker shrimp appetizer“

“Five stars all the way for this bistro and cafe in the Pointe building center at the 57 and Lambert. Usually when I go to most cafes or fast-casual places for breakfast or lunch, I end up with a bland sandwich that is too small so I end up buying chips and/or dessert that I don't need or really want. I've never had this problem at On Pointe.

One of On Pointe Bistro's strengths is that the breakfast and lunch items are generously portioned while also being fresh and flavorful. I've had the breakfast waffles with fresh fruit, chilaquiles, open faced caprese sandwich, and a bowl with lentils, kale, carrots, tofu, and other healthy items. The bread in the caprese sandwich is one of the most flavorful breads I've tried in Orange County.

On Pointe Bistro offers a lot of vegetarian options which is nice. I've tried their meat-based breakfast sausage too, and it's also full of flavor, well-cooked, and neither burnt nor greasy. My wife had a cucumber agua fresca that she said was very refreshing. All of their food seems freshly prepared with high-quality ingredients. They do have grab and go items and a salad bar, both of which I want to try.

Parking is easy here. You can park in the garage next to the bistro for free and there is also free parking near the hair salon and Starbucks on Lambert. They are cashless which I think is easiest for most people. The service is also prompt and warm. The bistro has a modest lounge with lots of clean, minimal seating. They are closed on weekends and close in the early afternoon. I think this bistro is a nice alternative for people wanting to try a new cafe in the area.“

“Every time I deliver to this DC, the highlight of the day is the yummy fare from this food truck. They have never disappointed me or my taste buds and I tell everyone to try them if I know a driver is coming here. Next level breakfast burritos for the win. Thanks folks. You are awesome. ?“

“I used to come here a lot and was obsessed with the vegan taquitos. I’m so sad they got rid of them from the menu! I recently went back today to try their new menu, and I enjoyed the vegan fajita bowl. I didn’t feel stuffed after, and liked the flavors. Will definitely be coming back here to get some lunch to go if I’m ever in need of a vegan option on a lazy cooking day.“

“The food was really good and the gentleman working behind the counter was courteous and professional, the older lady was very rude and impatient. Will not be going again“

“Came in for lunch on a Wednesday. Pretty chill inside. Plenty of TVs for sports, comfortable seating.

Our waitress was Ari. She was fantastic. Truly brightened up my day. Very cute and bubbly person with a contagious energy to her.

She recommended the steak sandwich, the blackened Ahi sandwich and the Red Ale. All solid choices.

Service was prompt food was good, but I would say one thing I would like to see is more value from the menu - in terms of sides and such. Feels like chips + a sandwich for 16-17 bucks is a bit much. Especially for the portions.

Otherwise, Ari made the visit incredibly pleasant and enjoyable and was prompt and attentive at every turn.“

“Thank you so much to Polly's and Lori specifically for putting up with our crazy group of elderly family members with strange dietary preferences. The food was delicious, service was great and her patience was praiseworthy! She liked talking to everyone more than I did 😜“

“I took my family here for brunch and we had an awesome time. The food was delicious and unique. Our favorite was the Uber French toast. The service was amazing. The place was nicely decorated and the vibe is lively and vibrant. We will be back again.“

“This place has gone down hill. What happened here. It’s terrible. I should have took a picture. I won’t be coming back. It use to be great food. The tri tip bbq was like a child put it together. This place won’t be open if they continue doing this. What a huge disappointment. Food industry doesn’t take pride in the presentation.“

“the best burgers 🍔 around 😋“

“🍅 🍲 And a lot of friendly peoples. Atmosphere is very nice and decorated.“

“honestly i was expecting a basic golf course bar with nothing but bud light and old peanuts but it actually has a solid craft beer selection including a couple local ipas i hadnt tried before. grabbed a burger and it was cooked perfectly with fresh toppings even though it took a little longer than i hoped to come out. the view from the patio looks right over the course so it a nice spot to just hang out and the servers were super friendly even when it got busy. my only small thing is the parking lot is kind of a mess especially on weekend afternoons with people dodging golfers. definitely will be back for the beer list alone even if im not playing that day.“

“7/14/22 I made a lunch reservation for six of us today at the Brea, California location. Best food ever, of course. But, the biggest kudos go to our server-Eluzia! I cannot remember having a better server anywhere(and I’m an old lady). This young person had it all, from the smile on her face, to her knowledge of the menu, to her impeccable service, to her willingness to get whatever we needed! If you are lucky enough to have Eluzia serve your meal, you’re in for a super time.“

“Haven’t dined at Red Lobster in over 15 years. Food was wonderful and the service was great! Nice location, friendly staff and abundant seating. Highly recommended!“

“After ~24 hours of travel and flights my family wanted to go to a burger place for a quick dinner before sleep. We were tired and arguing, ready to throw in the towel, but The Breakfast Factory delivered! Double cheese burgers, the loaded fries, delicious. This feels like it saved my marriage, my children still love me, and the holiday is off to a good start all due to the service and food here!
Thanks so much. Will certainly be back in the next few days as I can walk from the Hilton Brea! :)“

“Had a lovely and delicious brunch. Avocado toast is 🔥! Lavender latte for the win!!“

“I recently visited the restaurant and was truly impressed by the service from Daniel, who was assigned to our table. I'm not the type of person who usually leaves reviews at restaurants, but this time I felt I had to.
The restaurant was quite busy, and our party had two young children, so we asked Daniel for various things multiple times. Despite all that, not once did he show any sign of annoyance — he brought everything with a smile.
From the moment we sat down until we finished our meal, Daniel provided such great service that the food actually tasted even better. I want to say thank you to Daniel, and we will definitely be visiting again.“
