Great Breakfast

Dan12

Too much chatter behind the counter talking about personal matters in front of customers.

This is the type of place that I break my diet for, once a year. I was ravenous after a long work day and this restaurant was right by my dermatologist’s office. I had an hour to kill before my afternoon appointment and stopped in for lunch. The menu is standard diner fare- burgers, fries, breakfast options, and a couple of salads. I ordered one of the “John’s specials” offerings, a super stuffed chicken burrito with green sauce, and half and half fries and onion rings. The food was delicious, hot and fresh, and flavorful. The meat was fresh, the veggies were crisp and juicy, the avocado was perfect. The fries and onion rings were crispy, hot and thick—- my favorite. Portions are big. I was full after a few bites and took everything home. The young man behind the counter was delightful, very polite and attentive. The decor was standard vinyl booths, plain tables, unadorned ambiance, but there is a charm to that. It was spotlessly clean, the young man who took my order was making sure all the tables were spotless, when he wasn’t helping patrons, he was spraying down and wiping up tables. The restrooms were spotlessly clean, too— the air smelled of disinfectant. Parking is plentiful and the air conditioner was powerful, a must for the insanely hot north OC days. I really enjoyed my lunch and would like to try the brunch options!

The sandwiches were OK. Need to cook the bacon more. The fatty portions of the bacon need to be crispy.

John, been coming here for 20 years. This order of taquitos is down right embarrassing. Just take it off the menu if this is what you’re going to serve.

I love this place. The only problem is they don't have biscuits and gravy. Their chili is awesome.
