“Betty was seriously the sweetest!! She was so nice, helpful, and her energy was such a vibe. She knew so much about the menu and made the whole experience even better. You can tell she really cares about making sure everyone has a great experience. Would definitely come here again — love Betty!! 💕“

“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 😜“

“We had Sunday brunch at Our Nest and everything was absolutely wonderful! I had the Italian Stallion Burger and it was so good. You can really tell the ingredients are fresh and high quality, the sauces were delicious. It's so nice going somewhere where you fell like you're getting a better quality meal and not just the same old brunch food. We can't wait to come back and try more things on the menu!“

“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! :)“

“The crepes are awesome ❤️. Amazing staff“

“Amazing food and phenomenal service from Jeanette. Highly recommended!!“

“This was my first visit to Shorty'z and I was not disappointed.
The place was clean, the atmosphere was casual and was greeted promptly.
I ordered the Turkey Omelet which was recommended by Shorty himself. Very nice guy. Good recommendation. It was very good. The hash browns were cooked perfectly as well.
My Google maps said they are known for their breakfast burritos. I'll have to try that next time I visit Shorty'z.
They are also Hockey fans@
Thanks for good food and good service! I'll be back.“

“Accident service fast hardly no wait time to be served highly recommended“

“good food great price pancakes are big and fluffy. would go back if I lived down there“

“HI, I have to be honest. I was trying to find a way to contact Flappy Jacks as I have a proposition I think would be perfect for Flappy Jacks I have what is probably a bit of an unusual idea. Or maybe just a good idea. I know it is an unusual way to contact you but there was no email address. So I hope this works. I am from Columbia Missouri and I am visiting my Son, Grand Kids, and family there, just a few blocks to the East of Tustin. I am a musician, part time, and I like to street busk (play music on the streets) for grins. I noticed your nostalgic decor and your Elvis statues and the mural featuring the St Louis Arch, which is in Missouri on the Mississippi, of course, where I am from, and the 1930s, 40s and 50s nostalgia, and I wondered if you ever considered, or entertained the notion of having a little nostalgic live music, every now and then, perhaps even if only just once as an experiment. I just happen to play that old classic blues from that era, mostly, at least in this capacity, as Mr. Fletcher's One Man Blues Band. And I thought we might make a pretty good match up. As I said, at least, as an experiment. You can check me out at Facebook "Keith Fletcher, musician." Though most of that music is from my original music shows, and not my one man blues sets. I noticed you had a nice patio area where I could play outside and it might be a nice treat for your customers to have a bit of entertainment, just for a change of pace. They might really appreciate it since they obviously like your atmosphere. I don't play loud music. Unless folks want that, but I prefer to play soft. Or at least in situations like this. I've been the house band for BBQ joints and restaurants on several occasions. So I am familiar with the proper decorum. Mostly I was just looking for a little music adventure in CA within a walking distance of my Son's house, where I could carry a very tiny amp about the size of a cracker box, and my guitar to a gig. I thought maybe about just doing a street gig but saw your venue and something seemed to click. I hope you think so too. I estimate you are about a mile walking distance from his house and I only need an electrical plug. And probably some cool beverages. Like I said, I'm mostly in it for a small musical adventure, and so will play for tips, though, maybe you can pay me with free cold beverages, especially if it is hot, and maybe a sandwich or meal depending on how long I am there. It all looks delicious to me. If you find you'd like to host me again, and want me back, that might be possible over the week, and I may be back for the Christmas holiday. I might even be able to talk my Son into bringing the kids and family. Could be a total bust, or could be a very nice thing, but nothing ventured, nothing gained. Who knows? If it worked out well enough for both of us, you might even want to do it again sometime, Maybe even offer some kind of fee next time, if there is a next time. Life is an adventure. You / we, might stumble onto something good. If you would like to give it a whirl, what day and time would you think is good to catch a crowd? I am not sure what plans the family has, so maybe list a few slots. Look forward to hearing from you. I'll be flying your way tomorrow and leaving California on the 22nd. Thanks, Keith Fletcher AKA Mr. Fletcher's One Man Blues Band“

“Got the classic breakfast (homemade sausage & tots) and chorizo burrito—as well as a tiramisu latte. The burrito was a great size for the price and both dishes brought great flavor and satisfaction. My husband and I were a little guilty for coming in an hour before closing yet we were still met with kindness, patience, and respectful service. The food came out quickly and fresh. Very satisfied and will return!“

“This is a great local Mom and Pop restaurant. The staff is very friendly and courteous, the menu has great breakfast and lunch offerings. The food is cooked to order with fresh ingredients and good sized portions, the prices are very reasonable a good valuefor yourmoney. 😋 They have a country fried steak and eggs that is so delicious 😋 I get it almost every time I visit, Oh you've got to try the pancakes, Soooo delicious. 😋
The restaurant is very clean and well maintained, the owners a husband and wife team, are very friendly and they are very attentive, my coffee and water were always kept full.
Smokey Fred says you gotta try this place.
Tell them Smokey Fred sent you 😊“

“Had lunch at EggBred Brea and everything was so good! The sausage egg & cheese breakfast sandwich was so satisfying, especially with the perfectly runny yolk. I'm a huge truffle fan, so the truffle crunch burger was definitely one of my favorites. The ribeye burrito was just as good, the ribeye was tender and packed with flavor. Such a great spot to grab breakfast or lunch!

What we ordered:
-Sausage Egg & Cheese Breakfast Sandwich
-The Ribeye California Burrito
-The Truffle Crunch Burger
-The Breakfast Poutine“

“How do I start? Oh yeah, friendly staff, efficient service, clean venue and de-lish everything! That about sums it all up... No frills! Just great tasting grub if you're into that sort of thing.

“Sometimes they have entertainment in the evening and the comedy show is the best! The tickets are $15, and the intimate venue make for a great evening of hilarious comedy.“

“The industry standard for a dependable and consistent stack of pancakes or an omelet. The new burger enticement is interesting and the one I had was very good. Not as cheap as it used to be but the food quality is always good. There's usually a large parking lot associated with an IHOP“

“What a wonderful pancake house, it knocked spots off another famous pancake house that we tried yesterday. We are visiting from the UK, so visiting a pancake house for breakfast was a "must do"! Pancakes delicious, orange juice freshly squeezed and outstanding, friendly customer service. Thank you so much for welcoming us. Would definitely recommend a visit. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Yummy breakfast spot with good lunch options.“

“me encanta el cafe, y los pakekes deliciosos el lunes 14 de marzo fui x mi cumplenos tenia mucho que no iva me encanta todo y las meters muy amables ,,“

“My company used Crossroads for a very long project that required catering every weekday for over three weeks. Helen was quick on delivery, she was willing to work with us to add variation to the lunches and her prices could not be beat. The employees we were training highly complimented all the food. Sandwiches, wraps, tacos, bento bowls and salads. All of it was delicious. I cannot thank Helen a Crossroads enough for her hard work and wonderful food.“

“The most friendly staff and the food is always great. I have had trouble ordering online for the value menu but that's makes it better to interact with the friendly staff. Always super fast and delightful seeing the patrons in the restaurant. I highly recommend it.“

“You guys don’t even understand how good the food is here until you try it. The chef here knows exactly what she is doing. The chilaquiles are fireee 🔥🔥🔥 and the steak and eggs are my go to. Perfectly cooked every time. I always ask for a side of their red salsa to throw on top. And I never forget a cup of the Cafe de olla!! I will forever be a customer. Please open more locations!“

“Discovered Harry's over 20 years ago, when we lived nearby. While the Spires across the street has now turned into Goldenwest, glad Harry's is still there. Always enjoyed the pork chop and eggs breakfast but everything was good, great portions and reasonable prices, good coffee and great service. Moved away but miss our favorite breakfast spot, still!“

“We had a great experience! Food was really good and the service was great. Jesus really made our breakfast pleasant! He was so funny and great with our kids. He deserves some recognition from management for just being an all around good human and also being very good at customer service.“

“Came for my first afternoon tea experience and thought the set up was amazing. I attended the Brides of Dracula tea and what a great spin! It was just unfortunate that I didn’t realize there were other drinks I could have ordered. The bites were all very tasty and filling too. Would definitely return to try out their full menu.“

“First time here. Great service. Food was prepared just as I asked.“

“Juan was absolutely amazing to my family and I. They made sure we were taking care of and had everything handled perfectly. They constantly checked on us to make sure we were all set and we loved every second. Juan thank you for making our lunch that much better for my family and I.“

“The food was amazing. We all shared the Tiki French toast which was amazing. We all loved our food.“

“Great service great staff !!“

“Also i feel that the Waitress at the Burlington NJ location is kind and welcoming to me & my husband who are older. We appreciate how she talks about new items to try. I will definitely request her area to sit since she is full time waitress“

“Working in customer service, I know how difficult it can be to have to juggle everything on your own~ It was how my night was going until I got to come here. I’ve been to many IHOP’s, and I don’t think I’ve received service like this in a long time. Andi was so phenomenal. Her second day (at this location), and working her butt off. So kind to my partner and I, funny, and was sweet enough to give recommendations/ pretty much read the menu (again, I was exhausted after work, and absolutely not in the headspace to read lol).

Thank you so much for the excellent customer service, Andi~ I can’t wait to come back soon and say hi!“

“Great service great staff !!“

“Food was good and service was friendly. Bacon was crispy but not fresh. You can tell that it's pretty cooked hours or the day before. It's the only thing that's barely warm and dry. Makes a difference. For a $20 breakfast it should be fresh.“
